Parkwayne has great food, is family friendly, has great service, is very clean and newly renovated. 10/10

Poor experience tonight. Waitress couldn't have been any slower or disengaged. Took forever to take our order while she was standing behind the counter, never delivered the soup that came with my meal, took an eternity to deliver our other food to the point where my daughter was almost in tears waiting, then never checked in after the meal was served, had to literally flag her down to get a soda refill. And it wasn't busy at all. There were no more than 5 tables in the diner and pretty sure there was another server too. She was just too busy standing behind the counter not caring. read more

Always great food!! We eat here at least once a week. The staff is wonderful and believe it or not, so are the Italian dishes.

I usually order the California Omelette: Egg whites, avocado, sundried tomatoes and Cheddar cheese. Served with mixed green salad, fresh fruit and Cottage cheese. :) read more

Been here before to mediocre results and this time doesn't get any better. Average at best. It's not bad but to me everything you order has the same taste. Taylor ham doesn't taste like the original Taylor ham I'm used to and the egg omelette is very Blah tasting to me. Oh well. read more

The breakfast food was very good and got great service. Looking forward to going back.

No stars for this place , the service was horrible . The food was very bland and the order was wrong . our waitress barely checked on our table & when it was time ready to checkout we didn't feel like she deserved a tip & then the old man ringing us up was very rude about it . NEVER AGAIN! read more

Park Wayne Diner - the dessert case - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Let me state at the outset that I'm not giving it 5 stars because it serves outstanding food. In truth, it's not any better or any worse than your typical diner, serving standard diner fare. Were I to rate it on the food alone, it would probably rate a 3 ("OK"), or maybe a 4 ("Good"). It gets the higher rating because of the circumstances I found myself facing yesterday. Christmas Day. My oldest friend was going to be in the area to visit relatives (we grew up in Wayne), and asked what I was doing for X-mas. I answered, "Me? I'm working." "Jeez, even Scrooge gave Bob Cratchit Christmas Day off! Never mind. How about breakfast?" "Sure, but is anything open?" "Don't worry; we'll find something." Once, years ago, I found myself alone on Christmas Day. Initially, the novelty of it appealed to me in a weird sort of way. No ties, no responsibilities, no forced jollity. I decided I would head up to New England, take photographs. It was eerie. No people in sight, very few cars, stores all closed. It felt like a post-apocalyptic vision of a world denuded of humanity, or the episode of Twilight Zone where Earl Holliman had only a mannequin for company. I didn't even have that! That line from the iconic Stooges song kept rolling around in my head: "No fun to be alone...walkin' by myself...no fun to be alone...in love...with nobody else..." By the afternoon, I was standing on an isolated hillside in Amenia, NY-- freezing, forlorn, dead tired, hungry. Starving, in fact. I cut short the trip, heading back home, worried now about what I was going to eat. I figured Chinese would be my best bet. Actually, it was the only bet. I detoured off Rt. 287 S, and found a lone Chinese restaurant on the border of Wayne/Lincoln Park. I dined that night on Kung Pao chicken, steamed dumplings, and Wonton Soup. It wasn't the turkey and ham that I usually associate with X-mas cuisine but it was far preferable to the one or 2 cans of soup I had stored in what passed for a pantry in my "domicile." Yesterday, as I drove into Wayne to pick up my friend at his hotel, my worst fears were confirmed. Coming down Hamburg Turnpike, every store was closed. Parking lots were empty. Even Starbucks was closed. My friend, however, pointed us in the direction of the Park Wayne Diner. And...yes...it was open. Very much so. The parking lot was packed. Obviously, we weren't the only ones adrift and hungry on X-mas morning. My friend ordered something light. Me? I ordered the "He-Man" breakfast (a more apt description would be "Fat Man" breakfast). Two large pancakes, scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon, and a Coke (deadpan, my friend asked, "Diet Coke?"). The pancakes were drier than I would have liked, although tasty enough. Slathered with syrup and butter, they became suitably moist. Portions of everything else--- eggs, home fries, bacon-- were plentiful enough to satisfy both "He Men" and "Fat Men." My friend had gotten sausage patties with his order and he spooned one over onto my plate. Tasted good to me. He also offered me his buttered toast, but I declined. I keep eating like this and I'll transform from "Fat Man" (although I like to think of myself more as "Not Quite Fat Man Yet") to "Dead Man." But I enjoyed it nonetheless. The diner rates another star from me because they were open X-mas morning when absolutely nothing else was. I don't think even the Chinese restaurants open until at least noon. The diner earns still another star because the waitress servicing our area was superb. I wish I had gotten her name-- she was a middle aged woman obviously working at maximum capacity and then some. Despite the fact that our side of the diner was packed, and she seemed to be working virtually alone, she serviced everyone efficiently, quickly and pleasantly. A nice woman doing her difficult job exceedingly well. I tend to b*tch a lot about moody and/or indifferent service, so it feels gratifying to be able to finally give forth an enthusiastic thumbs up for the quality of the service. Here's an example of an exemplary work ethic. I hope the people running this place appreciate her and her contributions to the smooth running of their establishment. Next X-mas, despite my increasingly "Bah! Humbug!" antipathy towards the commercialized nonsense that X-mas has become in our society and culture (speaking as an agnostic, too many of the people I know and see and hear who profess a reverence for the teachings of Christ are as un-Christlike a bunch as I could ever imagine, but I digess...as usual...), I wouldn't mind being with family or friends eating ham and turkey (and maybe even a little lasagne, if I happen to be partaking with my oldest friend and his family), reminiscing, enjoying good times and warm fellowship with those I love and know best. However, if that doesn't work out for me (and with my bad luck, who expects that it will?), I wouldn't necessarily mind passing at least part of my X-mas with the fine folks at the Park Wayne Diner. read more

On a recent visit, service as terrible. The waitress was not around much. I ordered a salad without onion and got a salad with onion. Our dinners didn't come out at the same time. We had to go up to the cashier and ask for the check. Another visit...they recently printed new menus and the prices have gone up significantly. Special dinners are about $27 and for that price, we can go to a nice restaurant instead of a mediocre diner. read more

I was in town visiting my grandmother and we had lunch here. The menu is huge!! We don't have diners like this in AZ. It was such a treat. I had the summer picnic salad with chicken salad and it hit the spot. I wish I took a picture. It could have easily fed 2 or 3 people. A ton of food for the price. Service was great as well. read more

Diner is always good. They have a lot of options on the menu. I tend to go for breakfast or if dinner, get their hot roast beef sandwich. Portions are huge so there is enough for another meal. Prices have gone up after Covid and they are no longer 24 hours. That's pretty much the way it is everywhere. Solid diner. Service is great. read more

We stopped there for lunch today. Thought it was a typical diner, we assumed it would be a fast limited menu. I learned do not assume. We actually had breakfast food which was awesome. Everything was cooked to our specification. I had the breakfast burger more than I could eat. The table next to us got salads. The portions are huge. The restaurant is very clean. The owner and his wife are very pleasant. Our server kept saying " tell me what you want I will get it" read more

Great food great atmosphere server was attentive, one of the best diners in northern New Jersey

I had dinner with my family here the service was amazing and the food was also amazing. The owner comes around all the time to make sure the guests are taken care of. Our server was very attentive, and The hostesses kindness and witty banter keeps everyone feeling welcome. Best diner in town. read more

Wow. We were in North Jersey visiting family and Park Wayne Diner wasn't even on my bookmark radar. Thank goodness the in-laws are regulars there and insisted on taking us to dinner. Did I say dinner? I meant banquet. And amazingly, everything was delicious and served promptly by Pam, our outstanding server. (She also packed everything up and was just generally awesome.) At our table, people ordered everything from salads to sandwiches to pasta dishes. Everyone raved. (My wife's BLT looked like one of those overstuffed sandwiches from Katz's Deli in NYC.) I had a special of fried shrimp and eggplant served over linguine, with marinara. The shrimp were probably 15-count (per pound) and were cooked to plump perfection. Unfortunately, my flight back to Texas was scheduled to depart about 12 hours later, so I couldn't pack it and take it with me. Such might not have been a problem had it not been for the complimentary cold garbanzo bean salad that came to the table as we were seated. Not to mention the delicious homemade soup, which came in a bowl (not a cup), and the meal-sized side salad-- which was so green and crisp, I kept eating even after I was full. It's a good thing I didn't touch the nice selection of bread that was also brought to our table. If you live within 15-20 miles of this place, drop everything and head over. It's a huge menu, but you know how to read and find sections, so no worries. You're welcome. read more

I called in an order for pickup for a Greek Salad with grilled shrimp, olives on the side. It was pouring rain when I arrived so I quickly ran in, paid, and headed out. Here is the result: 4 shrimp that were brushed across the grill Yesterday's leftover chopped tomatoes No pepperachini (sp) No olives on the side Plenty of nastiness from the person taking the money $20!!! There are too many other diners in the area so I won't be returning to this one. read more

our waitress was very unfriendly and didn't seem to know anything about the menu. unsure if she was new, but if she was, i think they need someone to be helping her because it's ridiculous. she was also working on doordash orders and seemed to care more about that than the customers she had in-store. i was also told that my meal of choice didn't come with certain sides because it "isn't a dinner", despite it being listed among items that would typically come with said choices (baked mac and cheese under mom's favorites). if it doesn't come with ALL of the sides, why list it where one would assume it does? it makes absolutely no sense. we found a hair in our chili as well. we will not be coming back. read more

Unfortunately I stopped in because I was in the area. Aside from the burnt coffee and the salty french onion soup, Someone at the table ordered a chicken Caesar wrap-- why did the kitchen take it upon themselves to put it on a jalapeño cheddar wrap instead of a plain one without consulting the customer? Even the waitress was confused. The Greek panini looked old like it was cooked before I got there. If the menu is several pages, most of it is frozen. The only redemption was the fries. The lighting in the restaurant gave everything a sort of green color and it was unappetizing. read more

Solid North Jersey diner. My test for any diner is 1. greek salad; 2. pancakes. Both were great. Service was friendly and prompt. The bathrooms were very clean. Will definitely return when I am in the area. read more

Park Wayne Diner - Small Greek Salad w/ Chicken - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This is the most consistent diner around and the staff are very friendly. Surprisingly, their steak entrees are better than some of the steak restaurants nearby. The Romanian steak is terrific, but the price is really getting expensive. Mamas steak sandwich is excellent. I've ordered eggs benedict many times and they've always been cooked correctly. I ordered eggplant parm too, because I try it from every place I go. The eggplant itself is very good with a nice amount of cheese, but it would be so much better if they tinkered with their sauce. Too much oregano. Leave out the oregano. Burgers are a good size and cooked to order correctly. Soups are very good, not overly salty. Onion rings are great. Fries are average. read more

Park Wayne Diner - Just had this amazing dish! I'm so stuffed! Highly recommend and I highly recommend coming here. Come say Hi to the new management! - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Wow I have never had such a bad experience, everything about this place was bad. From the second we walked in to getting a table. We were standing there waiting when there were clearly empty tables available. Waited forever for them to clean the table of their choice. They wouldn't even bring us table settings until we asked. They weren't even busy at the time. Do they not realize that we are missing our table settings or have no utensils to use. The coffee tasted like instant coffee. I ordered crab cake Benedict like I always do at a diner. This is by far the worst I have ever had. The egg was over cooked and not runny like it was suppose to be. The crab cake was all filling and no crab, the muffin was hard and old. The home fries were absolutely tasteless and cold. Even the toast they brought were awful. On a side note, this is my second time here since I really wanted to give them a second chance. Unfortunately, it was just as bad the second time. read more

Park Wayne Diner is simply "okay ". Seen better , seen worse , so it's basically "middle of the road ", for my tastes. Diner is in need of an interior "refresh ", to put it mildly. Interior is bright red and very 1980's (ish). My broccoli & cheddar soup tonite was very thick and heavy. I would not re-order it. Taylor ham was very thickly sliced and greasy (see photo ). Probably would taste great at 3am though! Waitress with Russian (i think) accent was very efficient and I could tell a hard worker . A little on the pricey side . Soup + taylor ham + soda =$15.40 . read more

Then to describe the Italian dish I had which was the chicken parmigiana over linguine was really delicious. I question a lot of times whether to try Italian food at diners but it was seasoned perfectly and tasted as if I was at an Italian restaurant...

I went with my family. We we all ordered something different, but everything had the same great taste. We come here often, but we had a big table this time and the service was really great as always. The manager greeted us on our way in and out. The waitress was great; very kind and brought us extra napkins and refills without asking which was very nice. If you are interested in coming to a great diner definitely come to the Park Wayne. read more
