For a Saturday morning it wasn't too busy inside we were seated immediately. I decided to get the works potato cakes since I've never had those before. The food came out very fast and everything was really good. My personal preference I would've gotten a different flavor of potato cakes instead of the works because I didn't really like the chicken in it but the rest was good. Would definitely come back to this location again.

When it comes to breakfast food (and that's primarily what I order here, regardless of time of…read moreday), PJ's hits the mark. Everything from their omelette, to the Benedicts, and even the slightly more eclectic Shakshuka offering, is all delicious! And, that potato hash that comes with some of the breakfast options is amazing! When you think PJ's, you obviously think pancakes. And their pancakes are good. PJ's offers you an eclectic variety in pancakes that you won't find elsewhere. Everything from chocolate chip, buckwheat, spicy apple, banana pecan, Tiramisu to potato pancakes. I have tried several. My favorites are the banana pecan and the chocolate chip. When the occasional pancake craving or breakfast/brunch food hits, head to PJ's, but definitely expect a wait on the weekends. I've been to this location of PJ's Pancake House several times. My experience with their food and service has been consistently positive. This location tends to be less crowded than its Nassau Street counterpart. They have outdoor dining and take out!

My family and I have been going to town and country for years. They never disappoint. The ambiance…read morewas great as always. The restaurant was really busy for a Friday. I am assuming it was because it was a holiday. Town and Country always gives a homey and welcoming feeling which I enjoy. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly hostess who sat us immediately at our table. Soon after we were greeted by our waitress who was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Since we patronize this restaurant frequently we already knew what we wanted to order. So she was able to take our drink orders as well as our food order. The food was was good. I ordered the buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese. My family also ordered a plain waffle with turkey sausage and two over easy eggs with bacon and home fries. The buffalo chicken wings were tasty. However, they went a little overboard on the buffalo sauce which made the meal very messy. The plain waffles, eggs, bacon, and home fries were delicious as always. Overall, it was a great experience. Of course I will be soon. I suggest checking this place out if you are in the Bordentown area. Cheers!

I went in for a weekday lunch on Monday and found about a dozen other parties already settled in,…read moreeating quietly and contentedly, which is about the highest praise you can give a diner at noon. As a nearly lifelong resident of New Jersey, this place is an exact specimen of the diners I grew up with and survived college on. Obligatory dessert case glowing with future regret. Old school dining room that has clearly seen things. Waitresses calling you "hon" with complete sincerity. It felt less like walking into a restaurant and more like walking back into the late nineteen nineties in the best possible way. I was seated in a booth quickly and my waiter appeared almost instantly, which suggests a system that has been working for decades and sees no reason to change now. I ordered the lunch special BBQ chicken chipotle wrap, coffee, and upgraded to the matzo ball soup. The soup was fine, nothing more. It existed. I have had better versions of this soup in my life and will likely have better ones again. It was certainly not worth the extra two dollars and thirty nine cents, though I respect its quiet confidence. The wrap, on the other hand, was quite good. More chipotle than BBQ, and the sauce was thinner than I expected, but it all worked. It was well made, hot, and genuinely tasty. The french fries alongside it were also very good, which is never a small thing. Service was exactly what you want. My coffee cup never dropped below half full without someone checking in to see if I wanted it warmed up, as if this were a moral obligation rather than a job requirement. All told, with the soup upgrade and tip, lunch came to twenty dollars. These days that feels almost quaint, especially since I left full and satisfied. If you want to know what a standard New Jersey diner experience looked like in the nineties and the early aughts, this is your place. That is not a criticism. That is the point.

So when I used to work in L'ville and could get Route 1 Diner delivered through Uber Eats it was a treat indeed. I often ordered the turkey Reuben, omelettes, BLTs, fish sandos, and quesadillas. All good but the actual standout here is the STEAK FRIES! They are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. They're the best steak fries by far and possibly a top 3 restaurant fry of all time for me. Even by delivery they arrive crisp. I've since left that job near the diner but when I find myself in the area I can't help but stop in to get the fries. I was actually hesitant to do so at first - kinda like lifting the curtain back on Oz. But there's no trickery here - the waitstaff is friendly in person, the food is hot and fresh, and incredibly priced. This diner is such a gem and I am admittedly jealous of people who live nearby. Def stop in - well worth the trip. Enjoy my pics!

I am not sure if Management has changed but whatever it was / is needs to be addressed immediately for the sake of not losing customers. Asking to be seated at a different table other than the one we were initially seated at (bc it was right by the door and the wind coming in was freezing) was the first red flag because the hostess seemed bewildered and bothered that we wanted a new table despite there being 50-11 other open tables throughout the joint. It literally then took 15 minutes before our server greeted us and it just kept rolling downhill at a faster and faster rate by the minute. Appetizers done before our cocktails arrived, cocktails done before we could order our entrees, entrees arrived missing key components and it took a good 10 minutes before we could get our server and the minute she walks over she says oh you need the ABC ... ma'am! If you KNEW what we needed why didn't you immediately address it without us having to flag you down???!!!??? And the reason it took 10 minutes to flag her down was because the rest of the floor staff was running around like chickens with their heads cut off ignoring diners trying to get their attention. Oh and the best part was that there was this "figure of management" present ... and I say "figure of management" because he was also ignoring diners and not checking in with them like a restaurant manager typically does ... he was only going to the empty tables cleaning them, slowly adding place settings, rearranging the empty tables ... trying to look busy!!!!! It was honestly comical at one point. We asked for boxes for our food because we still never received all of what was missing despite our server acknowledging it was missing and stating she would bring it back. We literally never ever received it smh . My BF told her this was the worst service we've ever had and it probably didn't even phase her because her attitude overall was just sucky from the beginning. If this is all because of new management they need to go on and get new new management before this place's reputation is ruined.
