This is the absolute most horrible, disgusting restaurant in the downtown section, the older man with the white hair and glasses tried to hand me my food to go while coughing for dear life as if he were sick on a whole other level and needed help, definitely shouldnt have been there at all. His service is always horrible, the staff overall is ok, but are gems in comparison to him. Usually the waitresses are ex addicts, and crack by the looks of them. He always stinks too, just disgusting, that day was the last draw. Their service is horrible, and the cooks look like they are addicts too. Just sorry looking. Stink owners and dirty cooks are a bad look, so Im gonna be generous, and grant this establishment a healthy 1 ☆.

I have been ordering take out n Breakfast at Central for many years...However one particular time appauled me and I was utterly disgusted. One of the older gentleman was helping with take out orders...I noticed he was sneezing and coughing more than normal....as he coughed and sneezed in hands he wanted to pass my order to boyfriend. When my boyfriend confronted him about how unsanitary that was to pass our food to us without washing his hands or using sanitizer ...we wanted another order and he tild us basically to leave...Other patrons felt the same way we did and left because of it....I really missed this place but they have completely lost my trust.

Came here on a weekday for their lunch special, which is a steal! I got their bulgogi for $13 and they definitely do not skimp on the banchan. Their bulgogi was tender and sweet, extremely well marinated. The staff and host were all very kind and welcoming. I loved their iced pumpkin soup at the end of the meal. Definitely a great place to come back for authentic Korean food!

I recommend them for the fast and easy service; clear menu with a variety of choices. Last time I was here with my friend she didnt think it was all that great, but I thought the food was pretty good. Got the bacon scrambled eggs and toast for the price it was a good amount amount of food, definitely filling.

Horrible experience overall. Bad food and atrocious service!! They messed up multiple orders, forgot to get a few items and still charged us and didnt even cook a lot of the food properly. We had a 40 minute wait at Tops so we ventured here based on the reviews. Dont understand how its so highly rated!!

Not the most bright and shiny diner, but some of the best diner food in north Jersey. Their turkey burgers and turkey sausage are excellent. Grilled chicken is juicy and well-seasoned. Breakfast is awesome, especially the french toast, and their grits. Service has lots of personality.

The people are Greek and friendly, but the food itself is soggy deli food. If they would increase caring about the food itself, this would make a great campus lunch stop. Unfortunately, I think they need to be more concerned with price point int he local area.

I like this place a lot. The breakfast is always good and Im a cheeseburger deluxe regular. Live in the area and been a customer over 20 years. Sure things arent always perfect, thats life (happens everywhere) but this place is consistent.

I literally watched two waitresses argue over who should take my order. *blank stare* I refuse to beg to give you my hard earned dollars. Left and went to Art Kitchen where service was impeccable!

If you want an old school diner in the heart of NJs biggest city, this is your place. Fairly good food at really good prices, and big dose of local flavor. Thumbs up!
