First off to the owner I apologize for not giving you a 5 star rating but I will never give someplace 5 unless there is something really special about them or the visit and since you have a 3.9 overall, mine will not detract from that level. I have been to places that have had a lot of 5 stars but some I felt only deserve a 2 or less. When places see 5 many think they have reached their peak and can just go with what they are doing and see no room for improvement. One of the reasons I did give you 4 was because after reading other reviews I saw that you do care enough to respond to what folks are saying and at least portray a real concern to make improvements to get that better rating. That concern was also my deciding factor in where to go as I had two other options I was considering. Here now is where I will get into my concerns and compliments with what I saw while there. Upon walking in a woman had walked in before me and headed directly to a table leaving me unsure as to whether we were to seat ourselves as is the practice in many diners when not busy or did I need to wait. When I questioned the hostess she had thought I was with the woman who had walked in before me and so was herself a little confused. Not a big deal and I guess I should blame the other customer for not waiting to be seated but just taking liberties that she did not have. After being seated I was asked about drinks to which I replied just a cup of coffee and ice water which were brought out quickly while I continued to scan the menu. One of the things now about the menu was that as I had walked in I saw a list of the specials of the day in the foyer but had I seen something I might have liked there was no specials menu in with the regular menu as I find in most diners I go to in South Jersey near me. I was also disappointed that there were no mini meals, a smaller size of an entrée priced under $10.00 that are at most diners in South Jersey. Since I had already looked at the menu online while trying to choose between a few places where to go for my meal while in the area for the day I already had a good idea that what I was gong to order was a burger and so I did. I did however forget to ask if the sides with the burger could have been changed and was not asked if I would like to have something different so I was stuck with the coleslaw and fries. I may have ordered the fries anyway but I have only on rare occasions had coleslaw that was worth eating. This time was no exception as it was drenched with mayonnaise and the cabbage was not at all crispy but oh well the burger made up for it as it was almost as good as I had hoped but well within the range of better than just acceptable. There were a couple other things that concerned me that had nothing to do with the food or the service but not wanting to put up any red flags to anyone I will not mention them here. If I lived in the area I would probably come back every so often however since I live 2 hours away and have only been in the area 3 times I probably won’t but will try one of the other eateries that are available.

I had been to this Diner twice before and it was ok. I took a colleague and her two young sons only to be disappointed with the late arrival of the food(45 minutes and it was not even crowded.).Then one of her sons received his steak it was saturated with fat and very tough to chew. When we complained to the waitress she stated there was nothing she could do, despite the fact that 3/4 of the steak was not eaten. Clearly not a customer friendly place. Would not go there again or, recommend this diner to any one. Spoke to manager who was indifferent to our concerns. I stated the obvious that he was obviously a poor business man risking the lost of 4 or more consumers. I will stick with Sissys in Atlantic Highlands wher their staffing is kind, gracious and their food is consistently of high quality.

Have now eaten here for the 3rd time, most recently with family visiting from out of state. One of them summed up their experience perfectly: "They dont skimp, and the food isnt good... its excellent." …Ill add my own two cents: KA2 boasts a huge menu brimming with a wonderful variety of choices, at the affordable prices you would come to expect from a NJ diner. ...And no, you can rest assured Im not friends or family to any of the staff; this review is 100% satisfied customer, intent on coming back again and again.

Terrible food. Looks very nice, but the nachos we ordered were like cardboard...loads of good toppings but HORRIBLE chips. Waitress took forever to take our orders. Fries horrible, giant chunks of gristle in the sandwich, huevos rancheros came out all mixed together, which i have never seen before. For the price range, go somewhere else, lest you have to replace your teeth from the incredible stale bread they served

If you go with the skillet you wont be disappointed I weigh 270 lbs and couldnt finish it. The price not too bad the grandpa skillet was 8.50 and well worth it. I was a little upset about being charged 6 dollars for two little cups of orange juice though. Besides that its well worth going just go with decaf and the and the free refill

I was driving up from Sandy Hook and decided to give this place a try. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. Our waiter John (who admitted he was new) was very attentive and friendly. Its rare that you will be impressed by food and service at a Diner, but I was. Excellent!

Typical diner food but giving this a Five Star bc the waitress I had (DiSeere?) should win some type of award for outstanding service. She was such a bright cheerful happy person I would go back just for her service! The most happy diner experience Ive ever had!

Amazing food at low prices. Doesnt t just have dinner food options but high seafood options. Love the burgers and the fajitas. The blacked chicken recipe is amazing. The desserts are amazing but its difficult to have room left as the portions are so big.

We ordered delivery for the store online. The estimated delivery was for 7:10 -7:20 PM. Food arrived at 6:30. Everything was hot and fresh and they provided plenty of utensils/dips/condiments. Great experience.

The service was excellent but what I got for the price i paid was not worth it at all for dinner........this may be a good breakfast spot and lunch but I would not recommend it at all for dinner
