Always a delight dining at the Pompton Queen Diner & Restaurant.... Love the food, the ambiance, the charming people in management and very capable ladies who bring us our delicious food......however, they need to enlarge the lady's bathroom. For a restaurant that size, feeding that many people, a two-stall bathroom is absolutely insufficient and unacceptable. Once that is completed, you get a "five star" rating. read more

Okay.. My review from last week got removed.. No worries, I'm gladly repost... Waitress was rude when we asked for another minuet before ordering,,,,found several hairs on my wife's pickle...waitress made a point showing her disgust when we asked to have sandwhich removed from bill. When paying, I expressed distaste to the owner, his reponse " it happens". They are arrogant people...no one ever apologized read more

Best diner in the area. Have ordered something off every page in the menu, and never had a bad meal. Not 5 stars because, well, its a diner, and it literally does not matter what time you come here, there is ALWAYS a wait. A testament to the good food, but is it really worth waiting a half hour for a plate of eggs or some pancakes? Sometimes, yes. Other times, methinks not. read more

Another really great diner in NJ. This place has the largest menu (about 15 pages give or take a few) and ANYTHING you could imagine. Humongous onion rings, great chicken salad, crab cakes, endless.... yum!! And a HUGE drink menu if that's what you are in the mood for! ;) Definitely would return next time in NJ! read more

I've been here about four times for both breakfast and dinner. Just about every time, the food is great and the staff is pretty nice. The cannoli pancakes are amazing, they do not go light on the cannoli cream and that is a huge plus. The only time I've been disappointed with a meal was when I ordered the mac and cheese, the dish was somewhat watery and the pasta was hard to chew. Other than that, I would say this is the best diner around read more

I love this place, all the food here is great..Worth the Wait you are dumb to hit any other diner in the area..I would wait an Hour for there food.. The owners know me by first name there and they all know How I like to be served and I hit this place at least once a week...#1 diner in north jersey... read more

The best diner in New Jersey! We eat here all of the time. The menu is huge, there's something for everyone and a great kids' menu. I love the full dinner specials that come with soup, salad, dessert and beverage for under twenty bucks. You get to take a lot of tasty leftovers home for the next day. The staff is very friendly. The only drawback is the wait on the weekends, but that's to be expected as it's a victim of its own success. read more

For diners this is truly as good as it gets. Every single time we go in here the food is always great. I usually get the Tuscany Omelette with sun-dried tomatoe, sliced portabello and mozzarella. It's fantastic. The place is always packed but it's worth a small wait to get a seat. The service is fast and the food is always hot. Never had a bad or medicore meal! read more

This Restaurant/diner, is amazing. The food there is among the best around in North Jersey. and the staff there is fast, and friendly as is the cooking staff. The only problem i found there is finding a parking spot, cause it is always crowded. A must if you love to eat. read more

I have been coming here for years! I love this place because the waitstaff are ALWAYS friendly! Also I love their salads ! Defiantly make this a stop on your trip! read more

As diner food goes, I am a big fan of the Pompton Queen Diner. I have tried the Pot Roast Sandwich, the cheeseburger, some type of triple met sandwich with pastrami, turkey, and corned beef (no longer on menu it seems), the turkey club, and the Pompton Queens Sampler. The cheeseburger was good, not great but good. The pastrami was better than most I have had in diners, the pot roast sandwich was good, the turkey club was great, and the Pompton Queens Sampler was great as well. read more

Amazing place! Outstanding food and portion size, you won't leave there hungry! I mean it. You won't even want to drive after because you are so full. This place has everything from breakfast to deserts all day long. The waiters are so nice and make you feel right at home. It reminds you of when you were a kid and your mom/dad/guardian made you a nice home style meal and sat with you and made you feel all warm inside. The place is HUGE! Although it's big, so many people go and it's sometimes hard to get a seat depending on what time you go. But it is worth it after you try the amazing food they offer! This place is definitely in my top 5 places to go! read more

My best friend and I love the duck bacon wontons! A great place to go when you're in the mood for pancakes at 10 PM. Nice big portions and friendly waitstaff. read more

Great diner. Food is delicious! I love their burgers. Only problem is that this place is always crowded. The staff is nice. I will definitely go back. read more

Very good food and service! Even their house side salad with salami and cheese is great. Best diner in the area for sure!!

You can't get a better diner than this and I've gone to diners my whole life. Food is always amazing without fail, no matter what you order. Service is great even when it's crowded. Nothing bad to say! read more

the queen! what else can i say? waffle fries? a must. wait time? not too long. service? on point. THE beat diner on 23.

PQ has been a staple in our family since we moved to the area 13 years ago! Today we went with our family for a late lunch. It was super crowded. My daughter and I were walking to our table from the bathroom and both completely wiped out as there was a leak on the floor that no one saw or cleaned prior. Accidents happen, but the manager/owner nor any of the staff came to help us and make sure we were okay. Our waitress did ask when we got to the table, but even after we got to the table and through the entire meal, the manager/owner never acknowledged us or what had happened. We were both really shaken up and have aches and pains now as we did go down hard. At the end of the meal the check came and there were no discounts or anything. My husband actually had to say something and they took 50% off. The entire check should have been taken care of. Like I said PQ is our absolute fav but today we saw another side of the business that really turned us off. The lack of care or concern for what happened was non-existent. Seems they don't really care about their customers like we thought they did! It's all about the money! We are super disappointed. read more

Portions are huge! The food is top notch, My husband and I never had a bad meal or a bad time whenever we went to this diner. The service is very friendly. Really have no complaints on this diner, sometimes waiting gets a little long but other than that it's a great environment for anyone to eat. read more

Of all the diners I've been to, the service and food here is the best in quality. The servers are great and friendly. They have personality. The owner is so professional and accommodating. It gets very packed so if your hungry plan ahead, sometimes the wait is over an hour at high times. Totally worth the wait. Fresh food and flavorful. read more

The best food I've found for a dinner in Bergen County. Actually it's the best dinner I've found. Generous servings, good food, variety and great service. The only drawback is alot of the time there is a long wait. Guess everyone else knows how good it is! read more

PQ is my favorite diner around. Usually whenever I come there is a wait of some kind.. but usually not too long... I like the Disco fries and their meatloaf dinner... read more

I will never return to this diner. Sam 'the manager' is the most nasty unprofessional person I have met in the restaurant business. They are NOT handicap friendly, the handicap parking is on the east side and up a ramp, you have to walk through the diner area to be seated and the put in the back dining room area on the west side of the building, it is self evident when someone is using a walker that they need NOT walk through the entire facility to be seated. Instead of seating us right in the diner area, Sam took a group of three and sat them right where we were standing, stating they were here first, making the gentlemen in that group feel awkward and embarrassed leaving a handicap woman just standing there. I ordered a carrot muffin that tasted like spiced sawdust and was charged an extra $1.00 for 2 - 3/4 oz cups of cream cheese. Yuck, that was sent back. Then over hearing Sam talking to another staff member asking if the people at the back tables 'were they ever going to leave?' is so unprofessional. And to cap off my awful experience, was getting a wad chewing gum on the knee of my new slacks and Sam 'the manager' stated 'just give me the dry cleaning bill' and dismissed the entire situation. I will tell everyone I know, to take their hard earned money and patronize another establishment where patrons are respected and treated kindly! read more

Very clean! Very Busy, and fast considering how many people were eating. The menu is very large. While we were in town, we had breakfast 3 days in a row. Went to other diners and left because they just didn't compare. Booths, tables, and bar seating. read more

Been going here for over 30 years. I feel like one of the family. Wonderful warm welcome when you first enter. There's enough food to take home some for the next day. Would highly recommend. read more

Being a resident of New Jersey my entire life, I have been to a multitude of different diners, many of which have been disappointing. However, the Pompton Queen Diner is unique in the fact that it provides both wonderful service and delicious food. The waiters and waitresses work diligently to bring out food as quickly as possible and are never remiss in their responsibilities. The owners make themselves known to their customers, and when I'm there, it feels as if I am a member of a large, extended family. One of the most impressive aspects of the Pompton Queen is it's originality-- their "Blackboard" Dinner specials are different each night, and always include a meat, steak, chicken, pasta, and seafood special at a more than reasonable price. It is evident that much creativity goes behind their incredibly large menu, and as a consumer, I can appreciate the dedication put into this business. I suggest this diner to the tired businessman after a long day in the office, to the family of six who is wishing to spend a Friday night enjoying burgers, disco fries, and chicken fingers, and even to the local soccer team that wants to celebrate a victory, going over the winning game's highlights with a Queen Sampler and milkshakes. It is no wonder that the Pompton Queen has been here for more than 40 years... I hope it sees even more success in the future! read more

Growing up in Wayne, the Pompton Queen was a long time refuge for us as teens, and when all came back from college for breaks, we all flocked back there to catch up. The Queen was always a great spot for us to unwind and share great memories while gouging on perfect disco fries. However, I just came back from a trip to the Queen tonight, it was the first time in about five years that I had been there. I am quite disappointed, did management change??? They served skunked beer, cold lack luster disco fries, and a "medium-well" burger cooked medium-rare, every restaurant has a bad night, but on top of it all, tonight the manager was rude. Just sad to think about a place that has been the place for so many great memories, to be disappointing. read more

Best diner ever! I've never been disappointed. Everything in the menu has been delicious so far and I have been coming here for years. Definitely a family place or a date night kind of place. Although the waiting time seems long during the weekends, they move fast and always have great service. 5 stars for sure! read more

Had breakfast. 2 eggs, 3 pancakes, and 5, yes, 5 pieces of thick bacon. Never had 5 pieces of bacon before. Great service, clean restaurant. $26.00 for 2 very large breakfasts. Very reasonable. That is what we pay in Florida for half the meal. read more

After driving around for a few hours me and my boyfriend decided to take a stop at the Pompton Queen Diner because both of us have heard nothing but great reviews about this place. I would first like to start out that the service is awful. The lady who seats you was extremely rude and threw the menus onto the table, and our waitress never came back to check on us or try to seem remotely intrigued about how our visit was going. As for the food, none of us liked the food we were served. I personally ordered a taylor ham egg and cheese with hash brown fries, and the taylor ham tasted sort of weird and unfresh, and I have no other way to describe the hash brown fries other than bad sweaty armpit. As for my boyfriend he said his eggs tasted unfresh and like they were made a year ago. Later on that night me and my boyfriend both got very unsettled stomachs. Due to the reasons listed above, I can not begin to see why the parking lot is always jam packed. I will be sure to never return and spend my money at this diner again. Goodluck if you go. read more

My family and I went the day after Christmas and ran into the Grinch. The hostess was the most unfriendly person ever. She asked if the whole party of eight was there and I said they were coming up the stairs. She said we had to wait until everyone was there. In ten seconds, when they walked in the door, she then said we had to wait. Apparently they were holding a table for fourteen with no one there. Does that seem right?? Only after fifteen minutes and walking into the parking lot to go to another diner, did the Grinch come say we can have the table. The food is great, but there's enough diners that are happy you chose them that I won't go back. read more

The food and service here has definitely gone downhill. With so many other diners in the area, I probably won't be back.

If you want breakfast you'll get good food anything else I've gotten there was god awful. Crab cake sandwich was all breading. Grilled salmon looked like it was broiled and had no taste. Save your money and go to a real restaurant. The food here is not worth the ridicules wait to get in. read more

Been coming here for at least 20 years and th food quality has always been consistent. Staff is always prompt and professional. Cant go wrong with the burgers, always fresh and huge. Food portions are always more than enough. Probably the best diner i have ever been to. read more

Unfortunately the place is CLOSED. wish the status was updated in YELP as it would have saved me a 25 minute drive today

Food service is inconsistent, they forget your order; add onions when you say none; forget bread when you ask for it; bring regular soda when you say diet. Worst of all, there's one wacko waitress wearing buttons like she's at a TGIF who is surly and superior in her attitude. Plus, the bathrooms are a pigsty so you know they can't be clean. read more

We travel for the experience of eating at the Pompton Queen Diner (we live 49 miles away.) The food is incredible. It is tasty, interesting, well presented and just plain worth the drive! We love the salads and the only problem is selecting which one to order. My husband enjoys the fish dishes, which are even better than our old favorite specialty fish restaurant. They have a full time baker and the deserts are beyond belief. To put it simply, we are dieting and our night at Pompton Queen is the only time we share a desert and they don't get tastier, lighter, or more interesting than theirs! Last visit, we learned our waitress had worked there for 44 years, and each of the staff really knows their stuff. I think we are going tonight... :) read more

I've been going to the Pompton Queen since I was a little girl. They've never failed to make it feel like a family friendly environment. The food is very good, usually there will be a wait though, but depending on what time you go at you might of have to wait. The food is the best diner food, and I would recommend to anyone if they're looking for a good diner. read more

Amazing everytime. Try a meatless Reuben. Not on the menu but they don't mind requests.

Never had a bad item on the menu. French toast is amazing and you can never go wrong with their burgers. Top notch
