    Had breakfast here when I was in New Jersey. Nice and friendly neighborhood diner in downtown Fords. The restaurant is bigger inside than it looks from outside. There is booth seating and counter seats. The food is diner style serving breakfast and lunch. They also have daily specials. I had a waffle with sliced bananas and walnuts. Very good and plenty to eat. The coffee is hot and good This is where the locals eat. The restaurant is open 7 days from 6:00 until 3:00. There is limited street parking.

    This place is where the locals residents around the area gets there bkfts/lunch. This is my second time around. What I noticed is how the staff greets everyone with a smile and sometimes with ppl names. Which tells me how staff makes the patrons feel like home. It's a small place but inviting. Reasonable prices. Street parking

    Classic Eggs Benedict, most popular dish

    This cute little local favorite was a delight. I got stuck here in Ford, NY due to a break down with my truck so I decided to try the local cafe! I loved it, food was good and fulfilling while I listened to the local chatter from the patrons! The service was awesome and even the cook came by to say "hi"! (Hard to find this in So Cal) If you're in the area and want something that kinda takes you back to a simpler time I think you'll like Colonial Restaurant

    Fresh half n half and also a small carafe of fresh whole milk

    Small, local spot with great stand nice staff. A little wait which told us the locals approve of the food and that is a great indication of a good food experience. We stopped here on a road trip and were not disappointed. Coffee was fresh and delicious and kept coming- a huge plus for us as we love it very much. Attentive waiters, tasty, well made food and I'm picky. Eggs were not greasy, bread was toasty warm. Place was clean. Would recommend 100%. Will stop again if ever in the area.

    What a cool little place to have breakfast. A friend told me about this gem a few mo the back & I've been trying to stop but today it finally happened. It's hidden pretty well in a small strip center and if it wasn't for the construction going on I wouldn't of found it. I had remembered a month or so ago I was driving by and they were refinishing the front but I didn't have the tome to stop. I ordered the French toast with bacon so good & a friend met me and he ordered some special they had with Canadian bacon and eggs with potatoes. The staff were friendly and the food was out super fast. I'll for sure be saving this place for another trip

    Love this place! I come primarily for coffee and an egg sandwich, but their baked goods are pretty incredible too.

    Solid food, great service, usually find a parking spot. A friendly family place. Like all diners though, need to offer real maple syrup :)

Not that…read morehungry and selected a cup of chicken noodle soup , others had sandwiches (which was more than enough for 2-3 people to get full. They don't skip on portion sizes!!! I was shocked to see cakes that looked like wedding cakes!! Definitely on the pricey side, but well worth it. Gianni was our server and he did great for a party of 8. Everyone was pleased with their Harold's New York Deli experience. This was a first time experience for 6 of us, 2 return visitors (they recommended we stop to experience the good food). It was a pleasant atmosphere and restroom gets a 5 star on its own! Very clean and fresh! Harold's New York Deli definitely gets high recommendations to try.

I've been there at least 2 dozen times. The place was empty like I've never seen before. Their signature Pastrami has always been top notch. Yesterday it was tastless, barely warm, water logged. We decided were never goingback and are on the hunt for a new Pastrami palace. Since Harold is not around to run it like he always has done so fo so many years; the folks running it cannot deliver the Deli experience I have craved for. I won't be surprised to learn they went out of business.
