Great classic diner! Clean with great service, along with everything you'd expect from an NJ diner.

For the past 20+ years, I have been obsessed with the Americana Diner, especially their Mushroom, Spinach & Cheddar Quiche! I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the awesome new owner, Taki, who generously, at my request, preordered an entire quiche for me & let me tell you, it was nothing short of amazingly fresh & utterly delicious! I definitely look forward to ordering another in the near future, as well as, exploring their fabulous new menu! read more

My Dinner included soup, salad ( delicious small Greek salad option) I had filet of sole franchise perfect and rice pudding for dessert. Food delicious Kelly was a great waitress. All around a great experience. Someone walked by to compliment the manager how delicious the paella was. I would never order that in a diner but she was so thrilled with it maybe I would. Definitely recommend. read more

Seven long years later and this 'tuna' melt remains the butt of jokes, the exemplar of apathy, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

The food has improved under the new management 100%. The atmosphere and staff are friendly and professional. The manager is gracious friendly and runs a tight ship, and caters to his clients and treats everyone like they are him life long friends. Go check it out. It is the best diner and food in America read more

Been going here for over 30 years. Food has remained good. Service has always been good, as well. However, for the last few months the food preparation has been way too slow. Many people go to diners as a balance between fast and quality. This diner has always met that balance for years... until now. They MUST do something about the slow food preparation! read more

It's our first time here since the new ownership and we wanted to give this place a try. We came here after work and were immediately seated. We got stuffed into a corner and I didn't know why because the restaurant was empty. It wasn't like there was going to be a massive crowd coming in at the last second. Daughter ordered Swedish Meatballs over noodles and liked it. She said that she would order it again. She missed Ikea and wanted a little taste of it to remind her of the place. LOL. She also got split pea for soup and thought it was pretty good, too. Hubs ordered Seafood Paella, which came with shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams and calamari with carrots and celery. It's all sautéed in a Portuguese paella sauce and tossed over rice and spinach. He thought it was pretty good for standard diner fare. He said that the paella didn't remind him of Spain, but it's seafood with rice and he liked it. Hubs got the matzoh ball soup and thought it was ok. Lastly, I had the California Cheeseburger and thought this was ok. I shared the burger with daughter. Hubs thought that my burger was the best meal of the night. Hubs thought the salad and the vegetables accompaniment for my burger were fresh, cold and crunchy. Service was friendly and relatively quick. But the restaurant was still empty by the time we were done with our dinner. No massive crowd coming in. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my mom. We wanted hot sandwiches for lunch. We ordered Paninis. THE RUSSIAN: $15.95 Roast Beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Swiss cheese & Russian dressing. The sandwich came with fries, coleslaw & pickle. Delicious! Big portion. Service was courteous. Will definitely come back. read more

Solid New Jersey diner. We went there with the family on a Sunday morning we had the typical breakfast fare. Some eggs, bacon and pancakes. The bacon was great. I hate when it's murdered and falls apart when you take a bite. The pancakes left me missing something. Loved the texture but the flavor was missing something. May salt? Dunno. Service was great as was coffee. No complaints, we go again. read more

This place is so cute. Yes, it is a diner, but it is super nicely kept up and so clean on both the inside and outside. Our server was nice and quirky. Most of us had great meals - highly recommend the pork roll egg and cheese sandwich and the cheesecake. Surprisingly the prime rib special was also a hit. The quantity of food is massive. Overall quite good for a diner. I would give 5 stars if not for the "pot roast" special (picture attached). I have no words. read more

Giant menu, caring and sweet waitresses. But while the food is often 4 star I've had stale bread there twice, and on two visits there have been a couple different types of flies buzzing our booth. read more

New ownership. Menu is still extensive be some of the old favorites are gone. The mid-century music loop is very annoying. read more

A great experience. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was absolutely inviting. It was as if time stopped. The decor and music completed the atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. Some of the staff have been here for over 20 years. We will definitely be back. read more

We were on our way back from a trip to Wildwood and wanted to stop at a diner, and this one happened to be the midway point of our trip. It is very easy to find, and there is a huge parking lot so no worries about parking. This place looks like a really old school diner inside and out. Even with age, everything inside was still clean and presented nicely. The menu is huge, with so many different choices. You can basically find anything. The service was pretty good, and the food average. I would say the best thing going for this place is the look of it. But if you're in the area, and don't know what to eat, you'll definitely find something for everyone her. read more

Thought I would stop by this restaurant it's been a while since I went to a diner. It had such a fun decor starting with the old jute box in the lobby, all the shiny chrome bordering the ceiling. The service was quick and pleasant. I ordered the turkey club which was just okay. read more

We have been going to the Americana for twenty-five years. The food is always well prepared and the portions are very generous. Servers are very pleasant and their prices are extremely reasonable. The new management is friendly and customer satisfaction is guaranteed. Looking forward to having dinner there again this week. read more

Have always liked the food but was here very recently and ordered a chicken dish.....whoever is prepping their chicken fillets is not doing a good job. Had lots of icky parts in my dish including hard cartilage & a piece of something unidentifiable. Table behind us sent back a whole dish becasue it wasnt edible. I hope they get back to their high standard. We did like the music! read more

Not sure what happened to this place. This has been my go to diner for the last 20 years it was always clean and the food never disappointed. Service was ok, food was a disappointment as the burger was overcooked and really greasy. Table was dirty, menu was filthy. I'm guessing it's new owners because a lot of the ambiance was missing, like the old trinkets and collectibles that made this pace really stand out when I would walk in. I should've known something was up when the parking lot was empty at dinner time. I don't believe we will be going back. read more

First time at Americana Diner,,, 3 of us for breakfast. Delicious! Our waitress, Kelly, was great! We had the "breakfast specials" which included a small juice, unlimited coffee. 2 had omelettes, 1 had eggs & sausage. Huge portions. My sister had almost given up on ever ordering corned beef hash, as in other places it was just mush. Theirs was exceptional! We'll be back!!!! read more

We love the americana diner. We've driven by it many times, but finally decided to go in and boy are we glad we did. I had a BLTA also known as bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado and it was perfect. My husband had bacon and eggs prepared exactly the way he likes them with delicious eggs. The coffee was good. The ambience is great. What a fun fun setting. read more

They continually forget items from orders placed on GrubHub. The past three orders I've placed have been missing items when they arrived. Unacceptable for a $30 order. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Since moving out to NJ, I have been on the hunt for a really good diner. In NY, diners are on every corner. However, I digress - the Americana Diner is what you make of it. Both times I have dined here, there was an incredibly long wait. I don't think that you can call ahead and make a reservation. But on a Sunday morning, I feel this would be typical of any diner. We waited about a half-hour for a table for two. After sitting, we were informed that the kitchen was very backed up so it would be a while. I had nowhere to be, so I didn't mind the wait. The food is typical diner food - I got eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. You can't really mess this up. It's greasy, it's delicious, it's diner food. The coffee is pretty mediocre but it does continuously pour which was nice during the wait. Pre-pandemic diners were all the rage for me, post-pandemic I could have this experience at home. But when I am looking to get out of the house and have some diner food, I would come back. I would just prepare myself for the wait. read more

I will not be returning to the Americana on RT.130 in East Windsor NJ because of their prices, outrageous. Two of us had sandwiches, water and one soda and with 18% tip $55.00. Food was just okay, nothing fantastic. I had been going there regularly, every couple months, no more. read more

Been going here for years but not lately, so made a stop when we were in the area. Noticed signs for new ownership and relatively few cars in the lot. Meat loaf dinner and a turkey bacon and cheese wrap were very sub par. Won't be back. read more

Absolutely immaculate outside. Beautiful and clean inside. The food was mediocre (Spanish omelette). The men's room was fairly clean except for a bucket of soiled toilet paper between the stalls. How disgusting. I mentioned it when I was checking out. She asked "how was everything ". When I told her about the bucket, she simply said "ok". She wasn't surprised. Wow. The ladies room was a horrible mess. If the bathrooms are like this, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. read more

Their tableware is very Americana-like. Diners are just diners, usually Greek influenced. This diner doesn't stay open 24 hours, like most. Check times. I ordered the Swiss cheese omelette and decaf coffee since it was very late. Good, large portion...couldn't finish it. Kim, the server, made me a fresh pot. Thx. read more

Ordered corned beef and cabbage; came out unseasoned with no salt or pepper or anything. Corned beef was tough to chew and the only thing actually edible was the tiny cup of split pea soup that cane with it and the boiled potatoes, left there hungry and went to another restaurant. management should make the menu smaller and focus on making a few really good dishes. My mother ordered pancakes and at least those came out fine. read more

Had a great experience at this diner, can't complain about anything. Ample space in the parking lot and the Island was even decorated for the season (autumn/Thanksgiving). We were a large party with a baby stroller and they accommodated our party over two side only side tables. We split a chicken gyro and a burger. Both can with those Diner steak fries that are my absolute favorite. The waitress was super accommodating and sweet - brought extra tzazteki, mayo, etc. Burger was cooked medium. I liked that they had TVs on, it took the edge off as we just came from a wake. I would definitely be back. read more

The food is good but service my last few times here has been awful. Don't recommend sitting in or taking home. Service is terrible and if you say something you have to be concerned with them spitting in your food. I suggest checking out four seasons around the corner. Better service and the food is just as good if not better read more

Poor service, too many fee's and ridiculous pricing. The food was nothing crazy. They never even refilled water. read more

Completely lackluster food quality , service and ambiance. Not a place I would eat at again.
