i like TRD aka Toms River Diner.

I'm a fan of the Rockaway Diner.

I dunno about best diner but on my way home from Newark airport I took rt 22 and stopped by this diner in Union. I think it was an Americana or something similar. Anyway they had a lobster special that night for $13. It was the best lobster I've ever had. Most diners screw up lobster cause they don't know how to clean and cook it right. This place did it perfect.

i've had rockaway ex lived up there didn't care for it. imo. i'd have to say the americana since they added the lounge part and menu in hightstown, nj. www.americanadiner.com pene ala vodka is awesome.

been there once was pretty pricey... cool looking building but food wasn't as great as americana but pretty good. pretty famous for their omlettes as well even tho i've never had one... not into eggs.

That is THE skankiest diner in the state of New Jersey. BLEH!!!

I generally don't like diners late at night because of all the vampire freaks and other dark creatures of the night that hang out there. You know, the fat chicks with like 4 different colors of hair and psycho kids in trench coats and wool hats when it's like 95 degrees outside.

To be honest, I haven't been to that diner in probably 12 years. But back in its day, it was a really good diner with a lot of characters hanging about.

Has it gotten that bad?!?

Pompton Queen! :teach:

The OB hands-down.

The Diner in Union is quality.

i've had rockaway ex lived up there didn't care for it. imo. i'd have to say the americana since they added the lounge part and menu in hightstown, nj. www.americanadiner.com pene ala vodka is awesome.FYI I work at the sewage treatment plant behind that place theres nothing like the smell of burning cow guts to mask the the odors of sewerage.
Anyhow great dinner my favorite in North Jersey is the Tick Tock on route 3 in Clifton.I have been there to celebraate many Devs win at the CAA.

Trust me, the Pank is Skank! Smells to holy hell, attract bums a other undesirables, food sucks.

Add

5. Mastoris Diner - Bordentown Their cheese bread is awesome there!!!

I like the Omega Diner; but I really like the Plaza Diner in Edison on Rt. 27. It's so wonderful to live within 10 minutes of 4 diners (though the Duchess in Metuchen and the Skylark on Rt. 1 North in Edison aren't that good).

Hell. Yes.

This thread reminds me of a "Best _________" thread on the main board where everyone flocks in to pimp their hometown guy. Is anyone here actually going to go off the board and pick anything but their local diner? :)

For the record, my favorite diner is the Broadway diner in Red Bank. Many a good time has been had in that place.

Mine is the Jefferson Diner, but I grew up there and actually remember when it was the little luncheonette!!

But, I also have to give props to the Pompton Queen!!

Yes I agree. You MORE than get what you pay for there. I'm ready to explode after a night at Chubby's for booze and then that diner.

Dude, the Taco Bell in East Windsor is OK, but the one in Little Falls has waaaaaay more upside.

Well, there are tons of diners around me. The OP Diner, in Point Pleasant, is by far and away the best I've been to in NJ. It's about 30 minutes from my house (and there are probably 30 diners within 15 minutes from me). Been to a lot of the North Jersey ones mentioned in here a lot and none of them come close to the OP.

Also, would you consider Broadway a real diner? It's more of a themed restaurant. Besides the fact that they don't call it a diner themselves...

Used to be one in Bradley Beach. I loved that place. Their waffle fries are fantastic.

Are we talking about the same place? Applebee's and Friday's are theme restaurants. The Broadway diner (on Monmouth St., across from the Dublin House) is as old school and "real" diner as they come.

Nothing I've tried has beaten Starview Diner on White Horse Pike in I believe Somerdale, may be Hinella though, that area's confusing.

It's the OB not the OP. Ocean Bay Diner. I was there last night haha.

I like to think of Applebee's as the "white trash five start restaurant". Talladega Nights really hammered that moniker home for me.

the IHOP in Toms River is the best one

Here are diners that I usually walk out satisfied:

Empire Diner on Route 46 in Parsippany, good food and clean
Tick Tock Diner on Route 3 in Clifton
Elmwood Park Diner on Market Street in Elmwood Park
Galaxy Diner on St. Georges Ave (Route 27) in Rahway


Diners that I do not like that much:

Dover Diner on Route 46 in Dover (Morris County) Worst one ever, my buddy once ordered roast beef and there was rope in the meat
Paul's Diner on Route 46 in Mountain Lakes, good for coffee and fries, but not much else
Dutchess Diner in Metuchen; average at best

Do pancake places count? Cuz there's a sick one I went to in Ridgewood the other day, lol.

It's the OB not the OP. Ocean Bay Diner. I was there last night haha.

Hahahaha, yeah I noticed that after I typed it and said, "**** it" when thinking of correcting. Still, right name or not -- it's a great diner!

Empire Diner is pretty good......... Tick Tock is really good..... Pauls Diner isnt bad, could be better............ and i have heard BAD things about that Dover Diner also!!! LOL

I could go for a diner right now, after a night of drink I had last night at the Giants game!

Conglomerates companies don't count as NJ Diners. An NJ Diner is a privately owned diner. It's those diners that make NJ so great and special.

Pat's Diner on South Broad st. Trenton the same street as the SBA home of the Trenton Devils. You get a lot of food cheap the old folks just love it.

Horizon Diner on Rt. 17!


(j/k, but it's like 3 min from my house)

Yes, chains don't count. Family owned diners are much better and have some character.

yea i know i was just kidding, i just really like IHOP

Princess Maria in Sea Girt (I believe it's Sea Girt -- though it could be Wall) is also a great diner.

It's in Wall...and it's okay! I've had some things in there that were disgusting!

I will say that they have the most AMAZING cheesecake EVER!!

Hahaha, yeah every diner has some ****** items.

I've never had even a "mediocre" meal there. Everything has always been tops. But I also usually get the normal diner food. I don't really stray too far off of the norm, haha.

Another few diners to give props to: The Rainbow Diner in Brick. And the Four Seasons Diner in Eatontown.

There's also one in New Brunswick I was at not too long ago on Easton Ave that I can't remember the name of that was good.

Summit Diner......classic Jersey Eats

Go Devs

yea i know i was just kidding, i just really like IHOP

Yeah. IHOP is good to an extent IMHO.

Maybe NJ diners are different, but I've found that most LI diners taste pretty much the same...

What I hate about diners is they make me fat :cry:

Fatness doesn't help on breakaways

Honorable Mention for late-night grub;

Hands Down...White Rose ~ Highland Park, NJ

That's right around the corner from me. Its GREAT. I used to go to school at Rutgers... oh man Fat Sandwhiches... i think i'm straying off topic now, with the thought of a Fat Knights:bow:

RU Alumnus here. FAT BlTCH FTW! OH HECK YEA!

I took a winter course right across the street and ate on after class every day. I probably lost like 6 years off my life. But they were so ****in good.

Tops Diner in East Newark is the best diner I've been to, period. Its not too far from the new arena, either.

Honorable mention I'll give to Lyndhurst Diner and Pilgrim Diner in Cedar Grove.

1. Americana Diner ~ East Windsor/Hightstown

2. Peter Pank ~ Sayerville

3. Seville Diner ~ East Brunswick

4. Toms River Diner

5. Tick Tock Diner ~ Clifton

Those are my top 5 diners.

Great place, but that wasn't even the best one in EB. The other diner in town, The Colonial (also on Rte 18; across from the old Meyer's plaza) was always packed. We used to spend late nights there after going out in New Brunswick or the old go-go joint in EB, JK's (we're talking late 1980s- early 1990s)
There was a real good one off Rte 1 in Princeton (The Princetonian, perhaps?) too.

We don't as many diners up here in CT, nor are they as good.

KING GEORGE DINER in Wayne, NJ!!!!!

it's amazing how many of these diners i have been to. Before they cleaned it up, you used to be able to get struggling waiters at the Manalapan Diner asking you for drugs.... and getting into fist fights. Man those were the days

The M-Pan Diner was a good place to pick up a$$ after a bar night. I miss those days.

It is great. And the portions are freaking huge, every time I've been there I've brought half my dinner back with me. Tick Tock is also very good.

Seville Diner is really good. Plus the owner got shot and killed there semi-recently which gives it that old school flair.

Really?

Having grown up in EB, believe me, that's not old school for that town. Times have changed. You used to look only to New Brunswick for your Central NJ homicides.

Hahahaha. I like how that's a "perk". Haha.
