This lead us to New Monmouth Diner. The Kitchen Staff sent the food out fresh and hot. It looked great and tasted even better. Kudos to the Kitchen.

The service was quick and welcoming, and everyone made us feel at ease right away. The food was tasty and came out hot and fresh. Nothing fancy, just good, solid cooking done well. Portions were generous without being over the top, and everything we tried was good. My son got the French toast special which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon. Sausage and hash browns. He took on the challenge and tried to finish the plate but he simply couldn't. It's the kind of place that feels familiar, even if it's your first time there. Simple, friendly, and reliable--just what you want from a local luncheonette. I'll definitely be stopping back in the next time I'm in town.

Hubs and I were looking for a breakfast place to go to that we haven't been and we found this…read moreplace through Yelp. After reading the reviews, we decided to check it out. There was a slight wait when we arrived , but we got seated almost immediately. Hubs ordered the Englishtown skillet, which has peppers, onion, potatoes, mushroom, broccoli, scramble, cheddar jack cheese. He said that this is one of the better skillets that he's had so far. It isn't frozen potatoes tossed in there. Hubs said that they put in so many vegetables that he didn't know what kind of potatoes they used. He was very happy with it. LOL. I ordered the 3 Golden brown griddle cakes with 2 eggs over easy. I liked it and this is my usual go to. But, hubs thought that it could be a little bit better. Service was quick and friendly. Will return to try other items on the menu.

We ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes and another stack of chocolate chip pancakes. They are served with butter on the side and pure maple syrup. Also ordered was a side of sausage links. Is your mouth watering yet, because mine is watering as I'm writing my review. You can also order beverages such as coffee (free refills), and they even have fresh juice (regular or large). They serve more than just breakfast items. They also have sandwiches, wraps, and other wonderful lunch options The only caveat is that they only take cash. I didn't realize that, but I was thankful we happened to have cash on us. Great service and the sayings on the wall, as well as the photos, give it a warm and fun feeling as I perused at them. Parking is a breeze as they are in a strip where parking is ample.

Hubs and I came here for breakfast…read more We were immediately seated and ordered the following: Hubs ordered the Green Omelette, which has broccoli, zucchini, spinach and scallions. It came with home fries or hash browns with toast and jelly OR just pancakes. He opted for a side of pancakes. He said that it was one of the better omelettes than local diners. There were plenty of vegetables in the omelette and the eggs were softer than usual. Pancakes were ok and a nice change from toast. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros from Mom's Lunch Specials. It caught my eyes when I walked in and saw it on the board. This was different than what I'm accustomed to but it tasted ok. I got a choice of soup and chose chicken noodle. Soup was a nice add-on. The soup choices were Matzoh ball, chicken noodle, French onion or crock of chili. Hash brown was nice and crispy. Service was quick and friendly. We've been driving by this place for years and been wanting to give this place a try. Glad we stopped by. Will return to try other items on the menu.

The name is deceiving because it sounds like it might be a cafe, but this is 100% a diner…read more Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience here. I ordered a fairly simple dish (avocado toast) and the avocados were just placed on the bread in thick slices with thick chunks of tomatoes on top. Further, my husbands panini came out undercooked and he was very heavily sold on ordering another dish despite him repeating multiple times he was okay and would just eat later. The waitress was very insistent to the point where we were both becoming uncomfortable. My poached eggs were cooked well, which would have earned this place two stars. HOWEVER, at I hold them the register we were also still charged for my husbands sandwich that he did not eat. This amount differed from the check that we got at the table which only showed my meal. Unfortunately I am too trusting and did not realize the mistake until I was already home. This means I ended up paying $21 plus tip for avocado toast. This was the nail in the coffin for me.

We were offered a large round table but we didn't feel right taking it in case there was a larger party coming in. So, we asked for another table and got one slightly smaller. Hubs ordered the Spanish omelette, which is stuffed and topped with salsa. He liked it and thought it was tasty. He thought it was fluffier than most places and that was appreciated. Everything from coffee to potatoes were good and satisfying. I had the Cali burger, which is charbroiled burger layered with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, raw red onions and mayo.

I'll occasionally get the Nashville Hot, but that one really packs a kick, so consider the warning, haha. I always order in person and they whip it up in a matter of minutes. I've never eaten in, but they have indoor and outdoor seating and always have some good indie/rock playing on the radio for those who want a sit-down meal. I've probably ordered here close to 100 times and have only have 2 order issues. I brought it to the management's attention the last time and they were super professional and took care of it ASAP. My only other gripe is that they don't have bleu cheese for the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Overall, 5 stars all day long, no doubt about it!
