    New York Burger

    Our meal was fantastic. Service was on point, ambiance good down home diner. The menu is huge we came for a late breakfast, but both chose a burger and what a good choice it was. Pastrami burger had enough tasty pastrami to make its own sandwich. Cobb burger comes with a whole sliced up avocado. The unsweet ice tea was really good. Found this place by driving past turned around stopped and ate very happy we did. Highly recommend

    Diners are one of my favorite places to eat because of their EXTENSIVE menu options, and Lakeside Diner did not disappoint! It felt like we ate the entire menu, but we weren't even close. The pulled pork sliders were one of the favorite things I ate, and even their hot coffee beat a lot of diner coffees in the area. The staff were super friendly, and Chris checked on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying everything. The diner was super clean and gave classic diner vibes. This location is close to my parents' house-- so next time I visit we will definitely be back!

    My wife said she forgot how good food really was coming back here, the owner was super friendly, the service was excellent, had a crock of French onion soup, which was stellar, and delicious moussaka with a perfect Greek salad, all of the vegetables were fresh, and the dressing was delicious The desserts were absolutely wonderful. picked up several pieces of cheesecake at the recommendation of the owner to share with my brother and his wife to be for their upcoming wedding and enjoyed several of the Greek pastries. Enjoyed talking about food with the owner, who obviously is very passionate about high-quality food. he told me he likes to smoke his own pastrami and sounds like an old-school diner owner who really values all of his customers. Definitely will come back here the next time I'm in the area, thanks again for the delicious food Chris

    Menu, such a great place!

    A great, traditional old (style) New Jersey diner. Nicely laid out, with far more room than you'd think. Menu features expected diner fare but prepared with great care - and generosity. The fried calamari were fresh & crisp and LIGHTLY coated. Why, they even included tentacles, which are my favorite part. The Cobb salad had a truly generous amount of chicken, atop crispy greens. My wife's grilled chicken caesar wrap was stuffed with tender meat. My Manhattan clam chowder was the real deal, with plenty of clams. And the grilled pork chops were thick, tender and JUICY. Service was attentive and gracious. Go there.

    Came here for a baked good and was hoping that the muffin was more fresh than what it was... it seemed like it had been baked a few days ago but I was hungry so I ate it! They had many dessert options on display near the entrance and they seemed to have many options on the menu but I did not try anything else. I would come back here to try fresh food though. The employees there were friendly :)

    This place is a hidden gem! The level and quality of food this place is putting out for a side of…read morethe road establishment in Tuxedo is crazy! The bahn mi was phenomenal. First off, it's huge. The roast pork was cooked with love and attention and then sliced up in this heavily sandwich. It is a packed sandwich and can be a little messy but it tasted so good I didn't even care. This could 100% be shared or bring home for a second helping later! The salmon bowl was cooked to perfection and had with a nice Teriyaki sauce. If I had one "compliant" it might be that there was a little too much sauce on the bowl, but it was delicious. There was plenty of space inside and outside under a roof. So it's available rain or shine! Most people may not be on this road if you're a frequent thruway goer but it's worth a detour on the backgrounds of Orange County for this gem! Can't wait to get back there to try the baked goods!

You have to order first at the counter, they will ask how many people's in your party and will set up a table for you and they will bring the food to your table when it's ready. The menu is expansive and a little overwhelming at first. I chose to try the HeiHei loco moco and it was a big disappointment. The rice seemed like it's one of those microwaveable rice. They were soggy and lumped together. I wish they just used normal gravy instead of trying hard to make it Asian inspired because the hoisin gravy just didn't work. Loco moco was supposed to be a hearty dish and I found the gravy to be too sweet. The chicken burger just tasted weird and didn't look appetizing. I even questioned whether it's fully cooked at one point. Their London fog was also a disappointment. It was mostly milk and I could hardly taste the earl gray. It seemed like they did not steep the tea long enough before adding the milk. Besides my disappointing meal, my kids ordered fried chicken Mac and cheese to share and I found their fried chicken nicely fried, juicy and moist. The Mac and cheese was really cheesy and my kids enjoyed it very much. My husband ordered their French toast. Although I didn't try it, he said it was thick and fluffy. Their portion size is big and price is very reasonable. Almost like pre Covid pricing which is rare nowadays. My recommendation is to stick with traditional brunch items and stay away from any Asian inspired dishes.

    Came here on a Thursday night. I haven't been here for years, since I was high school…read more The place was busy but was able to be seated once I met with the host. Their menu is pretty big. I ended up getting The Rosalita ($17.95), a grilled chicken panini which consists of mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato and a side of fries. This was a solid panini and the grilled chicken had a nice Smokey taste. Also got a side of honey mustard ($0.50) which was good. I had a good experience here and the food was good. I would highly recommend Oakland Diner. * Service is good and quick * Parking on premise * Interesting decor and lots of TVs

The place was busy on a Sunday (late) morning, but we were seated immediately at a high-top table across from the bar. We both ordered hot coffee, which was incredibly strong. For food, I chose the Chicken Parm Sandwich and my partner got the French Combo. Portion sizes were massive! My Chicken Parm Sandwich was tasty and super filling. The French Combo came as two separate plates - one with the eggs, sausage, bacon, and potatoes, and also a heaping plate of French Toast. I tried a piece of the French Toast, and it was delicious - nice fluffy texture, topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, a great NJ diner experience!
