    In house coffee

    Food wasn't bad. Quick service and laid back kind of vibe. Bathroom was clean. Definitely a spot to hit up if your a Jason fan since it's so close to the town filming was done.

    This is the diner jason from Friday the 13th was filmed. Great place to visit and sit down and have some good simple diner food.

    Just a quiet little old fashion diner with simple good food. Jason love the slasher burger. Its really a nice cosy place to sit down and have some good food with family and friends enjoy the atmosphere. Its really a nice country ride to get here Its worth it Plus think about how cool it would be after you watch Friday the 13th with your kids and you bring your girl here or the family and the kids here Dont miss out October is almost here

    Greek Omelete

    Rode the Dyna out to the Blairstown Diner for Sunday breakfast. Classic expanded diner car. Classic old school diner decor inside. As usual, I ordered a Greek Omelette with a side of sausage. Their Greek Omelette features spinach, tomato and feta. Full leaf spinach, large tomato chunks and just the right amount of feta to complement. It was very much like I would make it myself at home which is a good thing. Very fresh. The home fries were very good and perfectly cooked. The sausage links were short, fat and flavorful. Good coffee. Fast and friendly service. The added bonus was that this diner was apparently featured in the background of the original Friday the 13th. movie. Camp Crystal Lake, hockey mask, blood stains decor around the register. So, it's an added bonus if you are a movie buff. I look forward to my next visit.

    The Blairstown Diner was featured in the original Friday the 13th movie in 1979. So if you didn't know it beforehand you definitely will learn that while you visit. There's a life-size cutout of Jason to the right when you enter the front door. But firstly you'll be greeted ever so warmly by the attentive staff members ! Let me just say that on the inside & outside it is so retro cute diner perfection! And they play oldies music so you really feel like you're entering a time warp! I ordered a Greek omelette sandwich and a hot coffee While I was waiting I watched some locals stop in for some food/drink items to go. One fella came in just to get a pumpkin shake! He really recommended it. It's already October after all. That sounded amazing but I had ordered some thing for breakfast so I definitely have to come back for that sassy ol shake. But my food came and it was hot, fresh & delicious. My server Sharon was attentive and topped my coffee. I enjoyed my time here and every way.

    Well how can you not appreciate a diner that's been in business for over 70 years and has had one of the most famous horror movies of all time filmed there? As soon as you pull into the parking lot and see this restaurant, you know you're entering a classic. The fact that a scene from "Friday the 13th" was filmed there, only adds to the charm. With all that said, the food still needs to be good, and it was! My wife and I stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The place has been remodeled a little bit since the 1980 movie was filmed there, but it's still basically the same. We each ordered eggs with home fries and bacon. The eggs were cooked to order and the home fries were very good. The diner markets the movie with t shirts and souvenirs for sale, along with a big cutout poster of Jason. It's just a fun atmosphere and the wait staff was friendly. It's definitely worth stopping by for a meal and a bit of nostalgia, especially if you liked the movie!

    Extremely busy on a Friday the 13th with all of the Friday the 13th fans visiting this diner used in the original movie. Even with the line out the door, the employees were so friendly. Slasher Burger was good and fries are what you expect from an old school diner. Super clean and lots of Friday the 13th signs/decorations around.

    Really good milkshake and coffee, very festive Friday the 13th decor. The servers were very sweet and attentive.

    We have come to this diner a number of times when we camp nearby and the service is always amazing and the food is always perfect. Today when we went in we were told they have a breakfast special from 7 am to 9 am where eggs, toast and home fries were only $2. In this economy?!?! So awesome. Our entire breakfast was just under $20. Hope they keep this special going! Also the Friday the 13th vibe is always fun!

    I've heard the Blairstown diner has done renovations and is under new ownership. We are making the trip soon, a road trip through weird NJ and wanted to hit the Friday 13th hot spots!! Has anyone been there recently?

    I really don't know about that but the diner looks like it hasn't been renovated in years, but it doesn't make it a bad place pretty cool place to go to and I hope to keep it this way…

We stepped inside this homey space and decided to eat at the counter, next to the kitchen where Jesus and Leo were working in tandem, preparing and presenting all the wonderful food. The personality at the counter belonged to Joy, manager and the other employees: Luz, Sara and the beautiful young lady whose name escapes me! I craved pancakes and so, 2 blueberry plus a special of chicken snitzel, mashed potatoes and cup of chicken harvest soup. A horse radish cheesesteak sandwich with fries and a soft drink. The food was hot and satisfying but those pancakes really were great! Such a hometown camaraderie with locals who frequent the place. We'll be back to try those pumpkin pecan pancakes!

My husband said a cup of chili was okay, but the cheeseburger was very delicious. Other than that, I would highly suggest going here and checking them out.

    Came here for my birthday and cannot say enough good things. Started with the bread, which is a…read moregenerous portion of crispy, fluffy bread with butter. The tuna crudo was fresh with nice acidity, and I loved the plate it came on. The foie gras was extremely rich and savory, and the risotto underneath was cooked perfectly. The rabbit ragú is such a unique dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rabbit was so tender, and the sauce was excellent. Not pictured is their take on fries, which are thick but still extremely crispy and delicious. We were between the orange dessert and the chocolate cake, and they surprised me by bringing us both, which is indicative of how good the service was. It's a cozy place that I would absolutely visit again. Overall: 4.8/5

    ***If there's one review you should read before deciding to come here, it's this one. I'm about to…read morewax poetic.*** Let me preface by saying that I'm a young adult who considers himself a bit of a foodie. I work in Times Square so I usually frequent fine dining establishments in the city, but my home is North Jersey so I am acutely aware that there are some hidden gems in this state. Last week, I was at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River and was blown away. But this place is far, far, even more exceptional. Greatest dining experience ever. Called the restaurant due to a last-minute cancelation in my party. Evan, a manager, was super helpful in waiving any cancelation fees. It's BYOB and there's a brewery across the street that apparently does takeout. I just brought beer from my house. They gave me chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep my refreshments chilled. Onto the ambience. You walk in and it's a nice, cozy little place with tables and a bar top with an open kitchen layout behind it. You can see all the food that's cooking and the presentations that go behind each dish - all live in front of you. The chef's were busy but always obliged when I said hey or asked a question. I tried the 5 course chef's tasting menu for $125. You get a little bit of all of the best flavors coming out of the kitchen. And the flavors are always changing. They source their ingredients from local farms. First came out complimentary course #1 - all I remember is it had crudo in it. Then course #1 - gulf shrimp with squid. This is the point where I decide no matter how else dinner plays out, I'm coming back. What fresh ingredients and creative flavor pairings. Next was course #2 - duck confit spring roll. It's just a smaller portion of what's regularly on their menu. This may have been my favorite item of the night. Next was wood fired octopus in tagliatelle pasta. After that, I believe, was complimentary course #2 - what appeared to be a caesar salad. Anything they make is delicious. Finally, I had an American wagyu strip as the fourth course. Absolutely delectable. At this point, I'm in Heaven. But I'm not quite yet full and ready for my dessert - profiteroles - one of my favorite desserts. I was looking forward to it from the moment I walked in and saw it listed on the tasting menu. I only eat 1 meal a day so when I finally eat, I eat a lot. A normal person would be full at this point, but I wanted more. I also couldn't help but think it might have something to do with me not wanting to leave and just try anything this kitchen made. So I ordered more. I asked for their regular menu and ordered some more duck confit spring rolls and some type of pork belly entree. Quick note - the pork belly entree was not good. You have to take the losses on the chin to make the wins matter more. Pork belly over beans? It was like bbq ribs meets an English breakfast. Please get rid of that, respectfully. After 3 bites, I didn't want any more so I quietly flagged down my server, Kat, and told her please quietly take this, I fully intend to pay for it since I ordered it; it's just no good. And I had been raving to her about every dish up until that point. So she insisted that she'd take it off the check. I insisted I'd pay, she kept insisting, so I relented. That's really good customer service. Now time for dessert. I wish I could say I was ending on a better note but the Profiteroles - which I mentioned is a favorite dessert of mine - massive disappointment. After everything else was put together for care, I got notes of freezer for this last one - especially the pumpkin part. I love this restaurant and I intend on returning as soon as possible, so please don't take offense to my constructive criticism. I applaud your efforts to infuse different flavors together. It is working wonders for you. Keep it up. I'm gonna share pictures of everything, including the menu. But the last 2 things I'll talk about are the cost and the service. With the pork belly entree taken off, it was just the 5 course tasting menu, an order of duck confit spring rolls, and a $6 double espresso. The total came out to $168 after taxes. I tipped $168. That's right. 100%. In a world where people like to dock tip percentages from their precious "20%" for what they perceive to be a lack of good service, let's normalize going above 25% for exceptional service. Not everyone can afford 100% like me, but next tip tip your servers 30-35% for exceptional service. As a former server in my heyday, I promise it'll mean more to them than the few extra dollars to you. And exceptional service is what I got. From manager Evan, to server Kat, to all of the others I met - forgive me if I forget any names. Chef Kelly, Chef Mike, Chef Jon, Keira, Jimmy. Thank you for an unforgettable 5-star experience. Keep up the exceptional work. I will see you again soon.
