I went here yesterday with my father for dinner. We ordered prime rib. We had small salads and a cup of soup included in our meals. When our meal came out it was so horrible we couldnt eat it. My father said it was so horrid he didnt want to eat any longer. They took it back and I was starving so I tried the turkey w/gravy (How do you mess that up?). It was also horrible. The gravy was yellow like mustard and the stuffing was mushy and tasteless. I asked for a box and brought it home to feed my animals. SOOOOOOOOOOO I spent $27 for 2 small salads and cup of soups.....and dog food. I used to go to this diner all the time while growing up and it was so good. WHAT HAPPENED????? I will never go back! I am insulted with the bill and HORRID food. They charged us the full amount for soup/salad bar and the turkey dinner that should have come with it. RIPPED OFF and very disapointed! NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is very disappointing. I live close to it so I used to go here all time until I ordered a simple chicken wrap and I specified to the waitress I wanted no tomatoes. Food came out of the kitchen and guess what? there were tomatoes in it so I nicely asked her to have this remade because I asked for no tomatoes. Not only did the waitress basically called me a liar saying that I did not tell her this but she "took it to the back to make me another one" and guess what? They didnt, they removed the tomatoes and the seeds were still in there.. Im sorry but you dont know if im allergic to tomatoes and this is why I asked for it, you dont just lie to me and say they will make me another one and just remove it.. Tried again for breakfast and their food just made me sick so since then i refuse to set foot on this place. I recommend you do the same! staff is way too rude, food is below average.

Stopped here because I wanted an omelette. I dont know many places that serves good omelettes, so I wanted to try this diner out. I ordered the 3 meat omelette which was good and decent size and made my potatoes the way I wanted it. The service was good. Reason why Im giving it 3 stars because they forgot to put the toast with the omelette. Not a big deal to me but the toast is suppose to come with the meal. Not a bad place to go and I would go back. First time coming here and i can forgive them on their mistake. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Stopped here late one night coming back from Atlantic City and a traffic jam from hell. What we needed was a decent place to unwind, relax and eat and thats what we got. Food was terrific...got the turkey dinner, which was more like an open faced turkey sandwich. But I didnt care...it was tasty and the gravy was homemade goodness at its best. Next time were in PA well stop by and try the pancakes. I wish we had more diners like this in Phoenix.

This diner sparkles. The Greek salad is served with a grilled and quartered pita. I asked for anchovies (an option) and seem to have been served a small cans worth on top! Ive had breakfast here as well as lunches and find it a pleasure to return to. This is on the pork roll-scrapple line and scrapple is available. Coming from Easton on Route 22, take the Route 57 exit and immediately turn left to get to the diner.

A solid spot to grub when youre unsure of what to eat. This typical Jersey diner has a smorgasbord of menu options from salads to hoagies to entrees. Theres something for everyone in your party. If overwhelmed by options, take the path of least resistance and order breakfast 24/7. A genuine eggs, pork roll, toast and home fries order is a simple, go-to order that time and time again appeases my appetite.

Often called Key Sh*tty to the locals of Pburg, this restaurant is an icon. Second to only Applebees, this iconic place serves some of the best food in the area. There is little to no debate about the majestic taste of the pancakes. You could easily convince me that this is the best diner in all of New Jersey. I highly recommend if youre in the area.

Stopped here for an early takeout breakfast at 4am. I was their only customer at the time, so they werent busy. Got eggs, toast and home fries to go. Was charged separately for home fries but when I looked they didnt pack any fries. How difficult can it be to get the order right for 1 person. Eggs and toast were fine. Wouldnt stop here again.

Service is hit or miss, and the place looks and feels a bit grungy, but overall a solid diner. Ive mostly gotten breakfast items and they are great. Prices are fair. I did get a burger for take out twice and white the burgers are decent, both times the take out service was poor. One time forgot my fries, other time forgot fixings.

Nice little diner off the highway. We needed gas and we were hungry so when we stopped and saw the speedway Gas Station right next door we knew this was the place to be. Awesome old school atmosphere, great service, breakfast anytime, and the portions were large! Great value and would recommend it!

Everytime Im in the staff is fast and professional. The food is standard diner food, nothing special, but you get what youre paying for. Dont order anything too complicated or you are looking for trouble in any diner. The standards ar good (breakfast, burgers, club sandwiches, and soups).

The prices are cheap, and the amount of QUALITY food you get from a diner environment is phenomenal. Their soups are self serve with meals, but are always delicious. They usually have two to pick from, and one will always fit your tastes. This is one of my favorite old time diners, by far.

They actually put jalapenos in my husbands cheese steak wrap... and he cannot eat hots. It made him sick and they had no sympathy. Offered him bread. Wouldnt even comp it. My wings were fried too hard, soo hard that i couldnt bite them... a wasted 20 bucks. Will never return again!

Ive been a counter slob here for over 12 years. Their great service has even been medicinal at times. I consider their coffee to be second to none. With that said, their prices have gone up significantly and their portion size are somewhat small. But they are OPEN 24 HRS!

The food was okay. It was nothing to brag about. The service was amazing. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. Our server was a thin young man named Dick. I had a chocolate mousse for dessert that was also amazing. If you go there, make sure you get Dick.

Good tasty food though maybe not a lot of healthy options. Very nice friendly and helpful waitress. ps: When you come inside, there is a strange smell (I dont know what is it but not really pleasant) Anyway eventually you get used to it.

It all depends on the meal. Sometimes The food is very good diner food and sometimes it was a waste of money. I would suggest The chocolate chip pancakes, the salad bar, penne pasta with vodka sauce. The wait staff is always friendly.
