Diner - coffee shop in Manahawkin. Went for breakfast on Memorial Day holiday. No waiting, got…read moreseated quickly. The vibe is typical coffee shop. Breakfast menu with variety of Pancakes, French Toast, Waffles, choice of Omelette Combinations. Kids menu kind of pricey around $8 for a single waffle served with a drink. Pancakes were big and fluffy, just perfect. Waffles and French Toast came with powdered sugar - so if you prefer no powdered sugar, say so upfront. Husband ordered a bacon, cheese omelette with well done has browns. He loved it. Monte Cristo sandwich loaded with turkey and ham. Just the right savory and sweet on French toast. Service was alright. Had to ask for things but when asked it was responsive. Just kind of wished they could anticipate rather than have to ask for stuff like more napkins, to go box, check. A decent place to eat for breakfast.

Came here with my parents for a late lunch. It was a nice clean place with friendly staff greeting…read moreyou at the door. Our waitress was very nice and bubbly. The early bird specials had a few choices to pick from. All were $14.95. It comes with a soup or salad, a soda and a dessert. The cream of turkey soup was very delicious tasted like a liquid thanksgiving. Definitely a go to when you come here. The chicken parm was ok. The sauce was on the sweet side they didn't give much sauce either. Definitely had better chicken parm from other places. But good for the price. The fish and chips were good. Had a nice crunch with moist flaky fish in the middle. The fries were also good as well. The chicken stir fry was the best tasting dish chicken was tender and moist with a variety of vegetables over rice tossed in a light teriyaki sauce. Flavorful and tasty. The portion sizes are perfect they give you a lot. Great place for a low budget meal. Would love to come back and try other menu items.

When we first visited, our group of eight called ahead and was told the wait would be about 20…read moreminutes. We arrived a little early, and I went inside just to confirm our name was on the waitlist. The hostess was rude and repeatedly told me it was a 20-minute wait, even after I explained I was only confirming we were on the list. After 20 minutes, I checked again, but we were told no tables were available. While waiting, we noticed another party was skipped, making the waitlist seem disorganized. Eventually, we were told we could squeeze into a table, which we were happy to do. After being seated, we received our drinks, but when we were ready to order, our server said the kitchen was behind and that she won't be taking our order at that moment. It took another 30 minutes before our order was taken. To make matters worse, one person's Cubano sandwich and fries were forgotten. Def won't be coming back.

Absolutely horrible experience at Holiday City Diner. I ordered the meatball parm, and it was…read moredisgusting--the meatballs tasted old and not fresh at all, and the sauce had zero flavor. My other half got a hamburger, and the meat looked off. She couldn't even eat it. Honestly, I don't know if they're using cheap ingredients or old products, but either way, it was gross. The ambience was terrible and the service was just "meh." To top it off, there was an older gentleman sitting at the bar who had clearly peed his pants--and no one working there did anything about it. That sealed the deal. Never going back again.

First time visiting this diner and was good all around…read moreexperience. We had dinner there and food was very good. Prices are beyond fair and you get a lot of food for your money. The best part of the experience was our waitress which I think her name Daniela. Very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She was working a lot of tables, but you never waited for anything. We will be back.

I don't often rate a place this low. I don't know if I ever have. Let's just start with. It's a…read morediner, which is simple. The seating is typical. It appears to be reasonably newly remodeled, but the air conditioning was nonexistent. Sweating in my seat was not comfortable. The server seemed to have a bit of a chip on her shoulder. It took a extended period of time for her to return just to place our initial order setting that aside we figured we are good to go 45 minutes later we finally got our two eggs over easy with sides couldn't be much more simple than that 45 minutes. Wait was insane. They were not busy either. So to the most important part of the food we waited 45 mns for. 2 eggs over easy came out over hard. The sausage was sitting on the grill too long clearly potato's just ok. Sour dough toast was pretty good but at this point we are already sour on this location. I have noticed a lot of people complain about the pricing but I didn't see it as too crazy until we ended up sitting in a diner for over an hour. With the above avg prices at least do a good job. The table next to us ordered an eggs Benedict and there were no eggs on it! I thought they were kidding but nope. Table across from us left prob 35mns before us and the table was still not clear. Terrible. Maybe just an unfortunate day and things happen but this had so many levels of bad I will not be giving it another shot sorry.

I ordered a western omelette with hash brown and rye buttered toast; my boyfriend got a cornbeef hash omelette. His came out and was all cheese, but his potato's looked good. However my potatoes looked completely different. My onions in my omelette were not cooked; practically raw. My toast was practically just butter. Our waitress messed up our drinks after confirming with us. Then didn't check up on us the rest of the time as she was talking to another server in the back. She just brought us the check and didn't ask if we needed anything else.
