Our awesome server was Mary Ann with an M ....she gave us friendly and warm service and she was very attentive. Our food came out hot and was delicious - - i had another waffle, but this time with just bananas - -and hubby had scrambled eggs and hash browns covered in cheese - - and he LOVED every bite as did I. And the coffee is just perfect! JJ's is a bright light and such a heavenly oasis. Everyone should be as happy and positive as the people that work at JJ's. They have worked hard to provide this consistently good food and service over the years. We will make it a point to be back again next time we are in town.

Hi there Yelpers. This counts as the fourth time coming to this diner to enjoy their breakfast. On…read morethree of four occasions I enjoyed - thoroughly - their Sunriser. That's creamed chipped beef over toast with two eyes any style but I get mine poached or over easy accompanied by grits. Yes. Grits. Which explains my finally trying their sausage and gravy. Quite traditional dish I'm told by a Floridian friend who I had join me this past week while she visited. We agreed that the server was allowing us the time we needed to catch up with the right amount of follow up. I'd have liked to have my water refilled one more time. But that was on me for not stopping to ask as she poured another cup of coffee for my friend. I've had their coffee and it's delicious. My friend enjoyed the international omelette. She enjoyed it. The diner has its own parking lot with plenty of parking. The inside is eclectic but with definite typical Jersey diner vibes and the counter and stools to go with it. I've sat at the counter and the service is cordial and inviting. Quick too when necessary. Enjoy if you are coming to or from ACY as it's close and you'll feel satisfied either arriving into the area before heading to AC or returning home. Enjoy!

My one egg came with three slices of Taylor brand pork roll (it's the best). Lots of soft, crispy potatoes. Egg perfectly over easy. Waitress checked on us several times. Is it gourmet. Nope but it's pretty good diner food and fairly affordable. Service was good.

A Hidden Gem with a Heartbeat Named Norma Jean We've been…read morecoming to this cozy small-town spot for a while now, and each visit feels like a warm hug from the community. But this time? It was something special--thanks to the incredible Norma Jean. From the moment we walked in, Norma greeted us with a radiant smile and a genuine warmth that instantly made us feel at home. This was our second time having her as our server, and once again, she was on point. Attentive without hovering, upbeat without being over-the-top, and effortlessly engaging in casual conversation that felt like chatting with an old friend. Her energy elevated the entire experience. Honestly, Norma Jean is the kind of person who makes you want to come back--not just for the food, but for the feeling. As for the meal: I had the flounder with grits, and it was perfection. Crispy, flavorful, and comforting in all the right ways. My husband went for the Belgian waffle topped with fresh fruit, and it was a beautiful, delicious start to his day. Between the creative daily specials, the consistently great food, and Norma's exceptional service, this place has become our go-to breakfast and lunch haven. We didn't want for a single thing--Norma made sure of that. If you're looking for a spot that serves up more than just good food--something with soul, warmth, and a touch of magic--this is it. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Norma Jean, you're in for a treat.

Being from Chicago I take advantage of a good diner every chance I get. This location was definitely built for the locals, it very family oriented with a menu that hits walls of Life.

The only knock on this place is the coffee refills , service for that should be an automatic and I shouldn't have to grab the attention of the server while they are talking g to one another during non-peak service times.

The first thing that hit me when I entered this small, quaint little establishment was I felt like I was transported back to Mayberry of the 50's and 60's. Breakfast is served all day, and my western omelette with home fries, English muffins and crusty scrapple were delicious with my coffee and tomato juice. I guess the atmosphere lends to the friendliness of the patrons, who seem like neighbors you've known forever, especially the young toddler in a high chair I was playing peek a boo with around the partition that separated our booths. The little gem is a very inexpensive treat.
