Seaport Diner does not disappoint…read more This classic New Jersey diner is the perfect stop whether you're arriving by land (EWR) or coming in via the nearby seaport. The Seaport offers a robust menu that easily covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with plenty of traditional diner favorites done right. I stopped in the morning after a massive storm that blanketed the area with more than 12 inches of snow--and it didn't slow them down one bit. The hardworking staff was welcoming, efficient, and delivered excellent, no-nonsense diner food with warm smiles all around. Reliable, hearty, and exactly what you want from a Jersey diner--Seaport is a spot I'd happily return to.

They even have a Latin breakfast menu with items like a chorizo burrito or breakfast quesadillas! I went with one of my favorite diner breakfasts, biscuits and sausage gravy with eggs and they were on par with most good ones that I've had. Biscuits were amazing, not too thick or dry, sausage gravy was creamy and savory with the perfect amount of peppery taste. The onions and peppers that you can choose to include or leave out of the Homefries is a nice touch and the Homefries themselves were great! Eggs were super fluffy as well! Retro diner look inside and plenty of pastries, desserts and cakes to pick from in the case. All around great diner!

Diner right across from the train station- hence the name :)…read more Parking is street and nearby lot all meter. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I met a colleague for brunch on a weekday and appreciated the festive decor felt very homey. Menu offers variety, but we both ended up ordering crepes one savory and one sweet. The savory one comes with a side of fries. Both were good, I think I prefer a thinner crepe but the savory one offered a thicker one so it was pretty filling. Overall 4/5 for value and execution. Not necessarily a destination spot but conveniently located and a decent option if you're looking for a quick bite. Pricing of the rest of the menu was on the pricey side for the diner feel.

I'd come back specifically to try the other french toast options. I enjoyed my time here and will be returning.

I'm traveling through NJ alone today, so I pull off I-78 in Maplewood and find the Park Wood Diner. This is an old school corner diner with a rear wraparound parking lot that's locally popular. I grab a seat at the counter and start checking out the menu. The breakfast menu card is tabloid sized and filled with choices on both sides and is available all day. I'm afraid to see what the lunch and dinner menu looks like. One of my breakfast favorites is corned beef hash and I get it with 2 eggs sunny side up with home fries and white toast. I love laying the oozy yolk onto a slice of toast and if there's any bread left, use it to sop up any runny yolk left on the plate. Of course, the yolk runs onto the hash and home fries, too. After this leisurely filling breakfast, can I even think about lunch or maybe dinner? I'll have to make a point to come back to see what's in store on the lunch menu. Maybe a pastrami or corned beef on rye or a comforting meatloaf? See you next time!
