    BEDBUGS in the Booths at Millburn Diner -- and an Owner Who Yells at Customers- STAY AWAY! Quick Summary * Sat in a fabric booth and found multiple bedbugs crawling in the cushions within minutes * Reported it to staff -- no manager came over and nothing was done * We were moved to another table and still charged the full bill * Called the next day -- manager promised a call back but never did * Spoke with the owner later -- he yelled, accused us of harassment, refused to address the issue, and hung up I'm sharing this so other families in Millburn know what we experienced. Date of visit: February 28 Party: Family dinner including our 20-month-old daughter My family and I live in Millburn and try to support local restaurants whenever we can, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Within about five minutes of sitting down in a fabric booth, someone in our party noticed a bug crawling on the seat. Based on what we observed at the time, it appeared to be a bedbug. When we checked behind the booth cushions more closely, we saw several more, at least 8 crawling along both sides of the booth. Seeing multiple insects that were confirmed to be bedbugs where customers are sitting and eating was extremely alarming. We immediately got up and asked to be moved. In hindsight we should have left immediately, but we had already ordered and felt awkward walking out. The staff moved us to a table in the center of the restaurant with wooden chairs. We clearly told our server exactly what we had found in the booth. Nothing further happened. * No manager came over * No one inspected the booth * No one followed up with us * No one offered any acknowledgment beyond a quick apology from the server When the meal ended, we were handed the full bill as if nothing had happened. The next day I called the restaurant to make sure management knew what had occurred. The manager told me he had not heard anything about it and said he would call me back "ASAP." That call never came. Two days later I called again and asked to speak with a manager. This time the owner came to the phone. Instead of addressing the issue or even listening, he immediately became hostile and started yelling. He accused me of harassing him and his employees and said he was going to do nothing about it. After shouting at me, he abruptly hung up the phone. I have never experienced a business owner respond this aggressively or unprofessionally to a legitimate customer concern. For transparency, we documented what we observed at the time and contacted the restaurant directly the following day to give management the opportunity to address the issue. Based on what we experienced -- both the insects we observed in the seating area and the response from management -- this situation felt completely unacceptable. If you are dining in Millburn, there are many other options. DO NOT GO TO THE MILLBURN DINER!

    Avocado benedict w/ sweet potato fries

    I came here w/ five other people, and the seating was a little awkward. We were seated at a round table in the middle of the diner, and it was hard for people to squeeze past us bc we were so close to surrounding tables. The food was not very good. The potatoes were not cut, they just looked.. shredded and mashed and overall unappealing. While my eggs were cooked well, the English muffins in my avocado benedict were burnt, and the cold tomatoes did not go well w/ the hot dish. The sweet potato fries were crispy, but the fries were not fluffy on the inside, and some pieces were burnt. Finally, while our server was very friendly and kind, the cashier (not sure if he's the manager) was very clearly not in a good mood. When our group walked up to the register w/ our separate checks, he expressed in an annoyed tone how he didn't like dealing w/ separate checks. After he rushed to settle our payments, we started walking out of the restaurant, when the guy asked us to come back inside bc someone did not pay their check. Inside, we all showed our credit card transactions to prove that we all paid. The cashier continued to insist that someone did not pay. In the end, apparently, the cashier just accidentally charged one of us w/ the wrong ticket. So all of this confusion was for nothing. I would not recommend this place, nor would I come again.

    Came back on another Friday morning a couple of years later, and they're finally open at the time that they say they'd be at 7:30am. It filled up with a number of local regulars, I think, as they seated themselves around the shop and were served without much delay. Our server was brisk, and came back regularly - with coffee refills even before my colleague had finished more than two sips. Service - right on top of you. We tried the avocado fries - interesting coating, like a mozzarella stick with marinara. It was good, but greasy for a morning. Salmon eggs benedict is known as a Egg Copenhagen here, and it was good, though too many fresh onions for my taste, I had to set a few aside. The side of Taylor Ham was a good three cuts, and crispy. Definitely a diner, and speed was the name of the game. Efficient and was out the door (you pay by the doorway) efficiently. Parking in the lot was tight as it gets busier. They have a lot of different choices, so will probably be back here again to try more breakfast and lunch options.

    Cheeseburger Deluxe with cheddar add onions

    This place gets the job done, but we wouldn't go out of our way to eat here. We thought it would be a quick, easy option for a pre-theatre meal, and we waited almost longer than we would have at another restaurant for subpar food (even for a diner) and inattentive service. We both ordered burgers with different preferences, they both came out the same way. We went again for breakfast hoping it was a fluke, but we still had inattentive and slow service. Overall, its just a diner so we can't be too critical, but there are much better options nearby.

    Super affordable! Comming over from NY the prices were way cheaper than what I'm use to. I got the Spinach & Feta cheese omelet, it was the perfect portion size and very tasty. I wasnt a big fan of the Frappuccino, it tasted very bitter and honestly was similar to a unsugared ice coffee. Also, our sugar container was covered in mayo and I grabbed it without knowing and that was kind of gross. But they have fast service and a ton of food options.

    Great diner and great food. The place was empty but that's cause it was a Sunday at 3 pm after the rush. The food was excellent. Got the 2 eggs platter and they recommend the buffalo wings which were the perfectly blend of tang and saucy. Everything was well seasoned and they provided home made whipped butter which I thought was a nice touch. Staff was amazing. There was a playoff game on and being the only customer there we were all into it Great vibes inside and felt very cozy

    Corned beef hash and eggs

    My favorite diner in NJ. I reviewed 8 years ago and figured it was time or an update. Went with my Daughters recently and had another fantastic breakfast. I had French toast with super plump sausage links. My Daughters got the corned beef hash and eggs. Always yummy and served with a smile. Everyone here is so nice and hustles. The menu is huge and everything I have had hear has been great. Coffee is strong and black. Make sure to tip your server well they are hustling. Comfy booths and great food. It's a recipe fir success

    Ordered takeout last night. I should've posted pics but it was so good we devoured everything. Everything was on point. Ordered a cheeseburger with Swiss no fries for my coworker. Asked to be cooked medium and it was perfect. I ordered a rock & roll cheeseburger which is with bacon and cheese and fries. I preferred mine medium rare and it was perfect. The fries weren't greasy or salty. Both burgers came with coleslaw, lettuce, tomato and pickle spears. The service was impeccable. They said 15-20 minutes. I got there in under 15 minutes and all was ready and waiting. This was an excellent choice for dinner takeout since my regular joint was closed. Will be ordering from here again. Highly recommend.

    Chicken parm and chicken quesadilla
    Stephanie G.

    We came after seeing something at the Papermill Playhouse and thought it would be crowded with other patrons, but the parking lot was empty. A sign? Got seated quickly, boyfriend ordered a Coke and I ordered a water, the waiter only brought the Coke. Then a really long time later, after we'd thoroughly read the menu. We ordered and I asked about the water, and it was still several minutes before I got it. Maybe because it doesn't add to the bill he didn't think it was worth it? We were about to just get up and leave and debated if we would have to pay for the soda by the time it came. The waiter didn't write anything down, said the part that says "soup AND salad included with entree" was a typo, it was one or the other. BF only wanted one and was fine with that, but that's just false advertising. He also brought my boyfriend the wrong soup. I got the quesadillas, which were fine but a bit bland. They were adequate. I was in the mood, but it's Mexican food at a diner, so I knew it wouldn't blow me away. BF got the chicken parm which was a huge portion, enough for good leftovers, so that was fine. The older man who I guess was the manager/owner was all smiles when seating us, he got me a water refill, and he rang us up and thanked us for coming. He seemed genuine, but unfortunately the rest of the service was a major blow.

    I love visiting Maplewood and I've eaten at a few places along this main street but I've walked by…read moreSpot Diner a ton of times without stopping in. This weekend I decided to finally check it out. Spot Diner is located in the middle of a block, sandwiched between other store fronts. A blue awning is set over glass windows in the front. The doorway is a bit awkward, but when you get in you'll see plenty of booths and regular tables to sit at. Even better, you can sit at a counter to the left, one of my favorite features of any diner. I wound up sitting at a booth and it was at an odd time (around 4PM) so it was not crowded. The waitress was there very quickly and she was very nice. The host was cool too. No issues at all with service. The interior of Spot Diner has clearly been renovated in recent time. You can tell at one time it probably looked more like a classic diner but since then the interior has been painted blue and grey (giving off a Greek restaurant vibe) and there are some nice paintings hanging on the walls. I was really there just for a snack so I wound up ordering French Toast (which was still available at this hour). It came out quickly and it was good! One of the challenges with French Toast at any restaurant cooking it thoroughly while not drying it out. Fortunately they did a great job here The outer edge had a nice bit to it while the middle was chewy and cooked properly. Butter and syrup were of course provided on the side. I enjoyed my visit to Spot and I hope to come back for a full, proper breakfast one day!

    We had picked out a different place to have dinner in South Orange Village but it closed early…read more We had walked by the Spot Diner and there was a small group being seated so we jumped in and were promptly seated. After looking around I noticed that the restaurant was empty and it seemed a.bit odd. It happens that we were seated 10 minutes before they were closing. Our waiter said that it was not a problem and continued to explain the menu. This menu has everything you could want for dinner. Items like turkey with mashed potatoes and stuffing or grilled pork chops with apple sauce. The ding room is pretty good size and could easily accommodate large group. The service was excellent and attentive and what was amazing to me is that it was never mentioned of things that were not available. The twin grilled pork chops were juicy and tender served with your choice of vegetables and salad. The turkey dinner was great and the turkey was not dry and of course with mashed potatoes and stuffing. This is a BYOB establishment and they have a discount if you want to purchase wine or beer at a neighboring business. The prices are very reasonable.

So, I decided to give it a try for dinner. They don't accept reservations. I arrived around 6:30 pm on a Friday to avoid crazy wait times, but still had to wait ~40 minutes. It didn't feel very long since the waiting area has a mobile wine/beer bar outside & you're able to order drinks from the restaurant as well while you wait. I didn't come with kids, but I saw a lot of families waiting. It was a kid friendly space. The inside was quite dim & it kept getting dimmer as the night progressed. I didn't love this, but it didn't bother me as much either. Pizza was delicious, and the bread tasted very fresh. The pictures show an individual pizza size, which we were told might not be big enough to share, but we made it work amongst 3 girls. Service was fast - I assume since they're trying to free up tables quickly. I'd recommend going at a non-peak time if you don't like to wait, but definitely worth a try even if for takeout!

My nephew who lives nearby treated us to an al fresco meal recently while visiting for a family event. My pulled pork smashed burger was everything you want in a packed meat sandwich, with an onion ring and tangy sauce on the brioche bun. The sweet potato fries and a refreshing mocktail to drink made for a perfect meal. Sweetie ate a pasta bolognese (I think) which looked and ate good, and drowned it with a nice glass of red wine. It was packed on the Friday night we visited, with folks lined up for seating, or to hang at the bar and enjoy the bar scene. No reservations. Our late dinner worked fine as the mostly millennial and Gen-Z crowd started thinning shortly after we arrived. Millburn has always been a draw for neighboring townsfolk in search of a meal out. I remember this foodie town from 25 years ago, when its pizza, kosher and diner offerings were top notch. It seems to have upgraded its food scene several notches since my last visit so many years ago. Pure nostalgia for me which made for a very flavorful evening. TOP TIP: Street parking in this part of town is a hassle and the local cops keep a sharp eye for illegally parked cars and inebriated drivers. So park further away from the center of town where you are more likely to snag a legal spot on a busy night.
