I pulled up craving comfort food and left feeling like I got hugged by the plate. The staff? Warm. The vibe? Straight neighborhood love. And the menu has that old-school diner charm but done right. Definitely the kind of spot I'd run back to when I need that reset meal. Good spot! Live, Love & Laugh - Sha read more

I love Jersey diners. They are always pushing the envelope. I had to come over from Staten Island, and so I checked their online menu. I liked what I saw, so I had breakfast here. It was a large menu, including a very diverse selection of pancakes, as is their name. Just a nice diner vibe, and everybody was friendly and helpful. I decided to go for the loaded baked potato omelette. I had had a mashed potato omelette at another jersey diner, which I liked, so I decided to try this one. The omelette was fantastic. It had potatoes, bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Just like you'd find an a loaded baked potato. The eggs were tender, as were the potatoes, and all of the fillings played very well with each other. It was an absolute fantastic breakfast. As if I didn't need enough potatoes, it also came with home fries on the side, which were also tender and delicious. The coffee was very good, and they kept my cup full. The prices are reasonable, although there is a small up charge if you pay with plastic, instead of cash. They also offer a military/veteran discount. I would love to come back. Thank you. read more

The food was petty good with generous portions. The penne vodka did not taste like from Italian places, but it was still very good, came with soup or salad. Huevos rancheros we're really flavorful. Ropa vieja was really good. My cowboy wrap was so good, a little dry but smothered in syrup fixed that . The service was excellent, or lady was really nice and friendly. Everything was an excellent experience. read more

I enjoyed dining at a local restaurant as I headed from Newark to I-95 South. This restaurant was not difficult to locate. Staff were friendly, and there was a reasonable wait time for my food. I did not enjoy the orange juice and black coffee, but that was not a big deal. The bacon was hard, slim, and trimmed. I also preferred cheese to be cooked throughout my scrambled eggs, instead of melting cheese on top of the eggs. The toast was dry and harder than I prefer my toasted bread. On the good foot, the pork sausage links were the best food item for me. The ambience had a classic, old school diner vibe. Seating at the booth was not comfortable. Check it out! There was a constant flow of customers. I would return again to try a different meal in the future. read more

In ordered a Steak Quesadilla for $15 on the menu. The check charged me $16.45 for cash or $16.95 for card payments. This is before taxes. I told them the price was more than the menu, they said that was the tax. I showed them the tax was on the next line. Then they went to the m ale manager. He finally said to adjust the bill. She then charged me $15.45 cash or $15.90 card plus tax. I told her the price was still wrong but she didn't correct it. THEY OVERCHARGE THE ACCOUNTS ON THE MENU. read more

We had breakfast today. Can you believe they charged us $4.38 per cup of coffee! When I complained to the manager he said the cost of coffee went up. We eat out a lot I have never paid that much! He could have cared less. We will never return! read more

The food is always on point. Most items are made fresh to order. The servers are very nice ladies and gents. They are very accommodating and are always willing to keep their customers happy. The dining area is clean, tidy, and usually decorated for each holiday/season. read more

Dec.28th I take my family to park diner honoring my son who recently passed,there were 10 of us. it started out fine. They seated us quickly,even the place was nice inside.My friend said her chicken and waffles were delicious.My eggs,& toast were cold.Yet even that didn't bother me.When I went to pay I told the gentleman at the register that I would tip in cash,,I was paying for the dinner w/my card.They took upon themselves to add the tip anyway,so they got tipped twice.i don't appreciate that.Overall the atmosphere of the diner is nice. maybe it's the new thing to add the tip without informing the customer. but I definitely didn't appreciate it. read more

This place gives you that classic, old-school diner experience that you just can't beat. It's clear this spot hasn't changed much in the last couple of decades, and honestly, that's part of its charm. The menu is massive, which is typical for diners - so many options, it's hard to choose! I went with the buffalo chicken panini, which hit the spot. It was tasty and satisfying, though I wouldn't say it was mind-blowing. The food is solid and dependable--nothing particularly extraordinary, but definitely not bad. The service is quick, which is exactly what you want when you're craving a no-fuss meal. If you're in the mood for classic diner food with fast service and a relaxed vibe, this is the place. It may not be a standout, but it's reliable and does the job! read more

Food and service are good. The servers are all very nice but the "owner" keeps "forgetting " to let the employees have any control over the music and the place is silent. It kills the atmosphere. Perhaps he just has to control everything but it's a disservice to his own place. read more

My wife and I Enjoyed another visit to this quaint family oriented diner in Linden just across from the Warinaco Park entrance on Rt 27. We decided to revisit this dinner as we've been here 4 times prior. Upon sitting at our table, we were greeted with a smile by Jessica. We recognized her as our waitress from our last visit Upon arriving from California to New Jersey in May. We had just gotten off our flight and wanted a delicious breakfast upon our return visit to the Roselle-Rahway area. The Park Diner and Pancake House was the First stop to start our 2024 NJ vacation. We informed Jessica that she served us during our last visit. She slightly remembered, gave us our menus and asked how we wished to start our meal. Jessica had many guests to serve but she was very attentive to our table and our dining needs. Our meal, consisting of French Toast COMBO, Scrambled Eggs, Country Fried Potatoes, Bacon and Sausage was enough to feed the two of us. It was hot and Dee-licious!! Ya get Three Cinnamon-Texas Toast style slices, hot off the griddle and toasted just right! The scrambled eggs were like momma makes. The country fried potatoes were enough for two with left overs. Two bacon strips and two sausages fed the both of us happy and full. We enjoy our breakfast every visit without complaints. Just smiles on our faces with full tummies. Thank you Jessica and the Park Diner and Pancake House Team. Comps to the Chef!! read more

My father and I got together to get breakfast. I haven't been to this location since they changed names and ownership. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. We walked in and was greeted and seated. Sue was our server and she was very nice. I ordered the apple compote pancakes and my dad ordered the pigs in a blanket. When the food came out it looked good. I dug in and it tasted good as well. My dad enjoyed his meal also. I had a good experience and would return. read more

It is a consummate Jersey diner and I wanted to give it at least 4 stars - but could not. We stopped here after returning from a trip to CA so we were tired, wanting comfort food. Our waiter, Anthony gets a solid 5 stars. He was personable and made us feel welcome. Good job! Our food was just okay. The Filet of Sole was dry and overcooked, the Hot Roast Turkey was substantial but bland, the meatloaf was dry and my Liver and Onions (with bacon and mashed potatoes) was very dry and overcooked. It was late and the place was almost empty - no excuse. I expected more from this particular Jersey diner. Maybe next time .., read more

Pleasant greeting. Sufficient COVID precautions seemed to be in place. Our server, Anthony, was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the South of the Border Omelet. Large and full of flavor. I just wish the cheese had been more evenly dispersed throughout the entire omelet rather than all in one spot. At one point the manager came over to check in us. Nice touch as we were craning our necks looking for the men's room. read more

Old school diners. Waffles and Pan cakes were good. Server was very nice. Checked on us. Centrally located

I went to Park Diner on 4th of July to treat the wife to breakfast. I ordered the "Show Stopper" pancakes which are my favorite. My wife ordered a breakfast special with eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. The waitress must have been new because what I got was a short stack of 2 pancakes. Definitely not what I ordered. When I told her about it she took my order and was wandering around seeming confused. I told her to just give me the order back and I'll eat it. My wife's food was made to her liking. Mine, no. To be fair we have been there a few times and the food is always good. The short stack was good but my Canadian bacon was a little well done for my taste. In the end I ate everything as did my wife. Summary: Good food, but hope you get a knowledgeable server. read more

Atmosphere: The Park 27 Diner is now known as the Park Diner and Pancake House. It ovelooks Warinanco Park. It's a modern diner. It's not shiny or metallic, but it is well kept with a large parking lot. The inside has plenty of booths, tables, and a bar. Plus, the Park Diner and Pancake House also has a salad bar, which is increasingly more challenging to find diners with such. Coffee: The coffee at Park Diner and Pancake House was brewed hot and fresh and I couldn't have asked for better coffee. Food: The Park Diner and Pancake House menu has plenty of options. Outside there is a large sign that says new menu specials and hospitality, which I found interesting. There are all of the regular diner options from pages of breakfast specials, lunch specials, and several dinner options like steak and seafood. By the name, I would assume they are well known for pancakes.  I was between pancakes, french toast, or the avocado toast and ultimately I decided to order their avocado mash. Can you believe I've never had avocado toast before? A diner seemed like the perfect time to do it. The avocado mash came with two pieces of toast topped with avocado and poached eggs. It also came with a grilled tomato, which I appreciated. It was delicious and fun to try something new. Service: The waitress at the Park Diner and Pancake House was friendly and my food came out fast. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would I Come Back? I enjoyed the Park Diner and Pancake House and I would go back. The food was excellent and there were plenty of specials I want to try. Plus, it's right near a nice park, so I can see it being a perfect post-run spot. It seems like the new owners are trying to make the diner better. read more

This is a nice diner because of the great staff. A friend and I lingered here over brunch and the waitress gave us our space when we needed it while still making sure we had everything we wanted. There is the usual wide selection of menu options you'd expect at a diner. I had the protein wrap...egg whites, turkey sausage and broccoli in a wrap with a side of salsa and crispy home fries. Very good, filling and price is right read more

Don't do it....pissed I didn't take pics!! Something as simple as a BLT wit soft bacon on a roll came out on a stale roll (hard as a brick), bacon bits thin and cold! Being nice I asked for another roll came out as if it was from a few days ago!!! May try one more time...missed the days of Betty Linds!!! read more

Excellent service and food. Breakfast was incredibly good.

Good, Quick & Attentive Customer Service; but my Chicken & Waffles were just okay. Where can I get the whole chicken instead of the breast fillet? The chicken breast was nicely breaded with a nice crunchy texture, slightly seasoned on the outside, but flavorless on the inside & lacking salt altogether. This atmosphere is family oriented, yet ruined by the vulgar brothers across from me. I would definitely come back here, but I would try something different with hopes of being surrounded around someone who could have a more mature conversation with his friends in a more intelligent manner. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning for an unplanned visit to this diner. I've been a few times before but nowhere near a frequent or regular customer. Since I was alone I sat at the counter. It was really busy, an understandably so since it was a Saturday morning. There was about two hostesses who were very visible helping the servers which was nice to see. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming; my waitress was busy so I didn't see much of her as she was also taking care of tables and taking telephone orders - I didn't mind too much (it's a Saturday morning, I get it). I had the mashed avocado toast with poached eggs and grilled tomato. Everything was tasty! I'll be back again soon :) read more

This place USE to be a good diner- recently (since new management) the food quality is poor, the service/management is terrible and there's even huge arguments/fights inside the diner to the point cops arrive. Unfortunate cause it use to be a nice diner.. Overall- the food now is poor quality, the management/service is terrible and not a safe environment or somewhere you'd want to bring kids/family. AVOID read more

I've going here for years and i've always had a couple problems when ordering with them, this Sunday recently I went and I can fairly say the cooks do not care sometimes, I ordered avocado toast and received a couple slices of avocado on top of the toast instead of squished down, I had to do it myself, although its not on the menu I feel that it is common sense to do so when you order avocado toast. Also, the bacon I received just honestly felt like they threw it in the microwave for 10 seconds and brought it out, all around bad experience and it is not my first. read more

Pretty hard to mess up French toast. I ordered the "crazy milkshake" with French toast and vanilla to try It. It's priced at $15. Instead I received French toast with a heavy purée-which is fine- but not when a random piece of bacon is sitting in the container with what looks like whip cream. I didn't order anything with bacon or whip cream, so I hope you see my confusion. Long story short, theres a foul smell in the containers and the food is too expensive for what It is. read more

Was here for breakfast earlier this morning and i ordered a taylor ham sandwich and a side of fries. They brought the food to our table and everything was fine at first until i looked at the first half of the sandwich and saw a broken toothpick in the sandwich half, i took that one out and continued to eat the one half. When i got to the second half of the sandwich, i didn't expect another broken toothpick in the second half and i almost swallowed the toothpick but thank god i realized what was in my mouth. After seeing the second toothpick piece that looked bent in the sandwich, i stopped eating and called the waitress over and told her what happened. She said she would let the manager know. When they brought the check, i realized that they didn't remove the sandwich off of the bill. You think they would without me mentioning it since toothpicks in a sandwich like that are basically a safety hazard but no i had to ask for them to remove it from the bill. I can't seem to understand why taylor ham sandwiches even need toothpicks in the first place. Also the fries were barely even cooked at all and the ketchup tasted like as if someone had washed the ketchup bottle out with soap and didn't clean it enough and that the ketchup tasted like soap. It was so disgusting. I have been coming here for a while but i guarantee this will be my last time going here after this incident. read more

Food: When I saw it said pancake house, I was excited to have their pancakes. Unfortunately, they were nothing to brag about. They were on the dry side. I had to use butter and lots of syrup to be able to eat them. Service: our waiter (Jose) was incredible. He was on point. I Didn't need for anything. Ambiance: there were many workers crowded up near the counter gossiping and carrying on. Talking about their tips and how much they make. And counting their tips at the counter. I was here for about 30-40 minutes and there were some waitresses just sitting at the counter the entire time. There were also 2 waitresses that had a disagreement in the middle of the floor. This type of behavior and conversations (loudly enough to hear from the other side of the counter) is very unprofessional. Will only come back if I have no other choice. read more
