The waitress was very attentive when we first got there, but he got real busy and she didn't even come back and ask if we wanted a 2nd cup of coffee, but I will say that wouldn't stop me from going back there. The food is absolutely just delicious and the menu is extensive. There's definitely something for everybody. It's a definite hit before you get to the shore ! read more

Very cute inside with the whole 50s motif & vibe; nice attentive staff, our waitress was good & food came out very quickly--but she had disgustingly long fingernails and kept scratching her face. Long nails & food service industry = no-no. Decent food, nothing too outstanding. Coffee was not good. read more

I moved away from NJ getting on about 10 years ago, but the food is always a good reason for me to fly back for a couple of days, and stopped by JB's on my last visit home, and wow I am glad that I did. Staff was friendly and attentive, the "Jersey Diner Vibe" was in full swing, but the breakfast is what really stood out - all of our entrees were spot on, and the pork roll and scrapple were absolutely perfect. It's not fine dining, and it's not supposed to be. New Jerseyans don't realize how lucky they have it with a diner on every corner; it's one of the main things I miss (that, good Italian food, and Wawa). JB's was a great experience, and I will be back the next time I head back east. read more

Highly recommend, will return! read more

Stopped in around 8pm for a quick last minute dinner. It was my first time eating here and was very happy I went. We were quickly seated and attended to by a lovely waitress named Pam. The menu was extensive, but I settled on an Italian grilled chicken sandwich deluxe and my fiance ordered a Turkey Rueben. The food was very tasty and had a good flavor. The portion size was big and the price was good. The diner had a 50's feel with an Elvis statue and jukebox at the entrance. Very nice spot that I plan to return to. read more

Great owner and team. Food was amazing, the facility was beautiful and the food was incredible!! Can't wait to go back and try more food! read more

We visited the place several times during 2026 Memorial Day. The place is bright and cheery, with a 1950's vibe and good diner food. The service was attentive without being overbearing. If you like diner food or want to get a great breakfast, this is a place to try. read more

I went to this diner numerous times in the past after a doctor's appointment or a dentist's appointment (please don't tell them). Now I get to review this spot between hectic highways and a wooded part of Farmingdale. Website: 5/5 The website has a very standard look that is easy to navigate and does not overwhelm the eyes with complicated colors. It leaves no room for misunderstanding pertaining to the menu, which popped out on its own page with bright colors and easy-to-understand font. You will also find plenty of photos of the restaurant during special events, along with one page about the food served there. Brand: 5/5 The Googie aesthetics of the '50s, from the bubbly design of the menu to the music to the interior and exterior design, always pervades this establishment. Indeed, they become JB's Diner's most spectacular elements, seen with such displays like the Elvis Presley statue greeting you or the boomerang-decorated table surfaces. You will find jukeboxes and black-and-white-tiled floors that definitely reflect the style. Ambiance: 5/5 You will find plenty of booths that provides enough room for large groups along with bars. The noise does not become as much of a problem if you find yourself on one of the booths. I would say that the establishment has enough space for afternoon rushes. With the exception of the delivery app Chownow, the diner tries to maintain the classic visage of an old-fashioned diner without much technological update. It definitely works in such an exceptional case to preserve its charm. While no other diner could sustain this, I would say that JB's Diner manages to work with it. Service: 5/5 The staff patiently ask specific questions about your order. The employees do have importance beyond their stations, indeed, since one of the waitresses wore a hat indicating her birthday. Wait Time: 5/5 We did not have to worry about interruptions throughout our wait time. Not only did we get to seat ourselves, but I managed to write up to half of my page before my order arrived. Food: 5/5 I ordered the '29 Ford Special, which included Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, pork roll, home fries, and orange juice. It definitely had a lot to fill me up throughout the day. While the waffles had a hard texture, every other food was well-cooked. The pork roll had a smoky, savory taste, while the home fries had the right amount of crunch, and the orange juice had flakes of pulp that added nutrients with every sip. They all complement well with the sweetness of the Belgian waffles. Worth The Money?: 5/5 JB's Specials all reflect classic vehicles and have their own unique selection of menu items. Indeed, they definitely work for the consumer if they wish to save costs while getting a full breakfast. They reflect the brand perfectly while also making it worth the wait. The owner sees the diner as more than just a diner, rather as a family with many recurring customers. I can definitely see how this would work within the diner's demographic approach. While maintaining its ageless facade, it manages to appeal to many age brackets, be it Baby Boomers who lived during that time, Millennials like myself who grew up listening to the music from the car radio, or Gen-Z. I really have no personal suggestions other than to adjust the Yummy Plates page of the website to include the names of the dishes on it. Other than that, I will ultimately say that the price was definitely worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars I have hope for this establishment, for if life could be a dream, than JB's Diner would make it so. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a family-friendly diner that reflects the 1950s. You will not be disappointed once you arrive. read more

JB's Diner On 33 - '29 Ford Special - Diners Near Me - Farmingdale, New Jersey

I was just sitting at the counter eating and all of a sudden a waitress was getting screamed at in front of everyone and I just felt terrible. I was just watching a grown adult scream at a teenage girl in the rudest way. Just doesn't seem like the best environment. read more

Hubs and I decided to give this place a try and were immediately seated after arriving. Hubs ordered Veggie omelet with home fries and whole wheat toast. The omelette comes with peppers, onion, broccoli, mushroom and tomatoes. This order has never disappointed him. Omelette is standard diner omelette. It was a little overcooked and flat but still did the trick. Potatoes were nice and golden brown with onions ( which is very important ) and also satisfying. I ordered a short stack of blueberry pancakes and thought that this was nice and fluffy. I've been wanting to come back here for a while but the traffic outside of this place scares me into coming. It's not bad entering into the parking lot, but it's a nightmare trying to exit. You have to close your eyes and hope for the best. LOL. Service was quick and friendly. Will eventually return to try other items on the menu when I get over my fear of the traffic outside. read more

Very good!! Enjoy breakfast here and the service is good. However, the last time I was there is lacked that's why a 4. Over, go!!

Every state is known for something. Well, New Jersey is known to have the most diners. Unfortunately, this one was a miss. - worst meatloaf I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. - my mushroom burger lacked flavor, even the ketchup couldn't save it. - I'm pretty sure my hot chocolate came from Swiss Miss. - the chocolate egg cream needed more seltzer. On the bright side, these following items were good. - my pickle & coleslaw that came with my mushroom burger. - the plain baked potato that came with the meatloaf. I rarely ever complain about bad service. The servers are all high school girls. They do not look like they want to be there. read more

I knew we were going to have a terrible experience when it took 10 minutes just to get a menu. Let me get right to the point. My wife ordered a steak dinner, grits & an avocado. She did not receive her steak. The Russian waitress forgot to order it. I ordered a cheeseburger. She kept asking me what else do i want with it. I said nothing else, just a cheeseburger. She then questioned me by asking "just the bread, cheese & the burger"?? Crazy. I then had to go to the counter to get a soda refill because we were being ignored. Just a miserable experience all around. lol, my cheeseburger was just an old reheated burger and it was terrible. Very safe to say, me and my family will never return to this once excellent restaurant. What a shame. One of the worst dining experience I have had in many years. Pathetic !!! read more

Food was very good. Except do NOT order grilled cheese for $6 . The waitress just gave me toasted bread with Cheese in between. Nothing Ellse No tomatoes, no fries or Cole slaw. When asked, she just said you didn't ask for anything Looks like new management. I have been going there for over 5 years. No complaints. But this is new. Do not recommend to any one. read more

Food was avg. for a diner. Service was extremely bad. Waitress was not attentive at all and never came back to the table to check on us. My wife had to ask them to come over to bring my son some condiments he should have gotten for his order from the beginning. They didn't even come over to refill coffee. Not once. When I went to pay I asked the cashier if I could talk to the manager. He pointed them out and they did look over at us but they didn't bother coming over. I will not be going there again. I forgot to mention. This is the second try I tried to give this establishment. read more

Our family decided to dine this morning at JB's! It was our first time and I will say it was fantastic. Food: The food was great. Generous portion sizes and decent pricing. They also offer a kids menu which is great for the kids. Service: Overall Service was excellent. We were in and out within an hour. Staff was very prompt and attentive. Everyone who sat down got served immediately. I absolutely loved how as soon as customers would leave they had bus boys cleaning and SANITIZING each and every table. You don't see that too often and as a mom I appreciate how clean it was. They also offer sanitizers at each table. Ambiance: The inside is very retro and cute. It's filled with lots of older car memorabilia and super cool to look at and show kids. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance and will definitely be coming back! read more

JB's Diner On 33 - a view of the outside of the restaurant - Diners Near Me - Farmingdale, New Jersey

Hey! Was in there at around 2:30, today with my elderly parents. I go twice a week with my boyfriend. The waitress served my dads sandwich with no fries, (nbd) but told him it was extra if he wanted them. Would've been great to hear, "if you'd like some no problem I'll be right back" The bill came and he was charged for them. Left a great tip even though we didn't have flatware or a clean table, and that she clearly heckled us with her buddies three feet away for the entire meal, which my even my hard of hearing elderly parents noticed. Mentioned it to the cashier, to appease my 75 year old dad, whom I admit is hard of hearing. She didn't want to adjust our bill for 3$, I had to point out in a menu that he was overcharged in contrast to the bill. I was embarrassed as hell. I expected a "oh im sorry, not a problem !" Because like I said, it's 3$ and I eat here weekly. I'll never bring my folks here again, or at least just ask for a different waitress, the ones with experience are great. Whole experience today was crap. I really don't expect five star service but maybe talk to your new hires about 'up selling'. It wasn't even busy. So disappointed. read more

Service sub par. No utensils, messed up Co-workers order and mine, the jumbo burger don't order, had to flag down another server to refill drink glasses, server was on his phone and not even paying attention. Pass on this place in the future when in town. read more

Try their burgers. Yes to die for. I always have a BLT which is the best in all diners around. Waitresses are fabulous and caring. They dress for all holidays. Love the schtick But back to the burgers.... Anyway. Worth the stop to see Elvis greeting you at the door. read more

Seemed to be overpriced for what you get. The best part is when I asked a simple question: "Instead of potatoes with my omelet, can you please give me grilled tomatoes and also skip the toast." So ultimately - Just 4 tomato slices and NO potatoes and No toast. The waitress came back and said , I am sorry, we cannot do that. The menu says NO SUBSTITUTIONS. She then said, for $3.00 we can give you the tomatoes. I then asked "This is with me ALSO getting potatoes and toast". The answer was yes. So I just paid the $3.00 and ended up throwing away the toast and potatoes. It made no sense and this was the only diner to ever do this. Every other diner in the area is happy to get my business without doing that. Something so simple will keep me from ever going back. read more

This place is so good. Service is slow but worth the wait. The staff is friendly & helpful. I've come here twice, each time ordering something different but both times ordering the milkshakes! This diner is kid friendly & both times very busy. I'm glad I was able to find a diner we love close to home. It's nothing fancy but if you're looking huge portions, JB's is the diner for you. I'll definitely be a repeat customer with my family especially in the winter months when looking for a hot country style meal. read more

The diner was absolutely eye-catching, unique, and felt authentically vintage. The food was great as well. Decent prices and good portions. What ruined the entire atmosphere was the service. The staff consisted of young women who had attitudes of not wanting to be there working and were pretty dismissive. The waitress never checked on us, as she was too busy sitting in a booth with the hostess on their phones. If it weren't for the people working there, it would've been a great experience overall. read more

This was my first time here on Rt 33 - I freq went to the one that burnt down in Freehold. I had a stuffed burger which was very good but the bread was hard on one side soft on other , almost stale like - got tots which were very greasy !! My wife got a panini with sweet potato fries - they came out burnt - ask the waitress for extra napkins - never came ! .. the thing I HATE the most , if your server doesn't refill drinks without you asking - they should be attentive enough to at least once ask - never happened - this was a BIG miss today ! Won't be back read more

This diner is a little gem located in Farmingdale, NJ. In my opinion, it may be one of the best diners in the state. The food is always fresh and delicious. The menu lists many items. It is a 50's-style/retro-like atmosphere (both inside and outside), with music and decor that makes the dining experience so much fun! You can even hear the music on the outside of the diner because there are speakers located outside. This is such a special place! The employees are very friendly. You will enjoy the dining experience at JB's and I'm sure you will return! read more

Four stars rating as a diner. Clearly a step up from typical diners with a beautiful interior, better diner food and great service. Came here for eats after drinking at a local craft brewery. Impressed upon walking in. Bright, clean with fast service! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger for dinner. It was really good! The meat was fresh and cooked just as I asked. The bun was flavorful and fresh. Even the bacon wasn't greasy and cooked just the way I like it. I was in the mood for soup so they had Manhattan clam chowder. Definitely above average and had a nice kick to it. Had the entire bowl. We also ordered a corn beef on rye sandwich. Cooked nicely and very tasty. The service here is great, the waitresses are quick, friendly and professional. Very clean and very nicely decorated inside. Definitely the diner you want on your list! Highly recommended for diner food! read more

Very interesting themes of classic cars and Elvis. Waitresses are friendly with no attitudes. Plenty of seating areas and clean utensils. It seems that all local diners throw a slab of cheese on everything including grits but the grits were okay. Loved the omelette which was overloaded with sausage, bacon and ham! Overall , not too bad. Definitely worth a return trip. read more

Who doesn't love a diner? Fun 50's decor. Waitress was quick and friendly. Big menu. We all ate breakfast, which was tasty. They lost a star with me for the desserts. We ordered them as carry out for a special treat - whoopie pies and cake. They looked good in the dessert case. However, save your money as they were both very dry. Not worth the calories. read more

Greasy diner, diner decor, huge menu, friendly waitress. Portions are huge but not good. Burgers were well done, not medium and pretty tasteless. Fries are decent. Sweet potato fries are actually pretty good. Breakfast was also meh. Pancakes not that fluffy. Eggs were swimming in butter. Pretty disappointed. read more

Great burgers and fries, and other menu items, decent service, nice 50's diner spot ...recommend

Service not the best but makes a great western omelette , nice place done in the 50's style

Great oldies diner, great service, really good food, delicious shakes!!! Will definitely be back!

Jersey girl, born and raised right here. It's important to have a good diner nearby and we love JBs for a casual meal out. They have a nice gluten free selection which is hard to come by, especially at diners. I've tried most of the items and they're delicious. I love the decor and atmosphere. The service is always good. Overall, we enjoy coming here. read more

Stopped here for lunch. Portions are huge. Ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits and only ate 1/4 of it. My daughter had cheesesteak and fries and boyfriend had creamed chopped beef. Boyfriend and I also had cheese grits. At first I was a little apprehensive because it was melted American cheese on top but once you mixed it, it wasn't bad. Would go back. read more

I came for breakfast one day last week. First time here. Retro Rock and Roll decor. Took a very long time to get an omlet which was good, home fries were tasteless. Like boiled potatoes thrown on the grill. So go for fries instead. But the first oet I got went right back when the salt, pepper, and jelly packs were thrown on my llate. I called over the waitress and said are you kidding, who does that? She said because of Covid that is how they do it here. I said that the condiments should be put on a separate dish not picked up by the server and thrown on the food. Obviously I will not be returning. read more

I've never done a review before. But felt I had to. I stopped by for brunch today. Ordered pastrami on rye and wife ordered eggs. My sandwich was supposed to come with Cole slaw and pickles. Never got it, waitress informed it didn't come with this. When bill came,I showed menu and she said ok, can pack coleslaw and pickles. They charged $6 for jalapeños and onions I ordered because she said no coleslaw or pickles. After arguing they removed tgese charges. Don't order extras here and make sure you read menu. To keep them honest. read more

This diner has a very good feel to it. It is filled with 1950's decor and has light music playing to enhance the ambiance. When I went, the service was good, our waitress was on top of our food, and drinks. I was a bit disappointed by the food, because the matzah ball soup was a bit flavorless and my reuben came with no dressing. Also, the disco fries came with American cheese rather than the classic mozzarella. Other than that, I think the vibe was great, and it seems like a fun place for kids to eat, with the decorations being bold. It definitely gives a vintage feel, and I think it is a place to try if in the area. read more
