My wife and I met another couple for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning. Needless to say, it was…read morecrowded and we had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Nice ambiance and very friendly staff. I ordered the full stack of French toast with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and a side of sausage links. My wife had the west Coast scrambler which consisted of eggs, avocado, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and scallions. Our friends ordered the chorizo burger with fries, and pastrami on rye with a side of coleslaw. As a coffee snob, I would say the coffee was very good. Everything came out cooked fresh and hot. Plenty of fresh fruit on top of my French toast. I heard the chorizo burger was different and delicious. Most of the plates went back clean. Portions were very generous. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. Worth the trip if you are in the area.

I have to say I was hesitant when I pulled up to Shut Up and eat with my family but I'll DEFINITELY…read morebe back ! The menu is MASSIVE, don't come if you're indecisive or if you don't plan to come back to try more dishes ! The waitstaff sticks to the silly bit , wearing PJs, bordering on rude but in a playful way that makes it fun and not annoying. There are so many knick knacks on the walls to look at - lots of conversation starters! We enjoyed everything we ordered (the afternoon waffle section was a fun twist on a sandwich and proved you can have it all!) and are already scheming what we will have next time we come back!

First time trying Royal Grill 37 in Toms River and it did not disappoint…read more I ordered the mango lassi and the tandoori chicken tikka with rice, served with cucumbers and lettuce--all for $23. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The mango lassi was my first time trying it, and it was refreshing and perfectly balanced with the meal. On top of that, the owner/manager was incredibly welcoming and even added some baklava, which was a really thoughtful touch. Overall, great food, great service, and a great first experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot and will be coming back. Only cons No green sauce but that's a preference and chicken is dark meat . I'm more of a white meat person. Best thing so far the Baklava

We both ordered the lamb and chicken over rice, naan and a side order of stuffed grape leaves, 2 sodas. Food was good, but more rice than meat. It was lunch time so very busy, we sat by the door since seating at tables were full, but it wasn't bad. We ate for a while and enjoyed it, but we took the rest home. It does a brisk business and the prices are average so it's a good deal.

I am a travel nurse from Georgia who worked in Tom's River for 3 months in the off season. I…read morediscovered this diner one night on my way home from a long day's work at the hospital. I was too tired to go in & eat but I made myself pull into bc I was too hungry for another bowl of cereal for dinner. I didn't realize until I was brought my order that it was closing time but when I asked for my dinner to be boxed so I could eat it at home so they could close up, they wouldn't have it, they told me not to worry about the time, but to please sit and enjoy my meal. I'll be honest..this southern girl didn't expect this type of hospitality in NJ but I was pleasantly surprised & gracious for it. From that meal forward they were my go to diner. I didn't have anything that I didn't like. The seafood Alfredo was one of my favorites! And on my last day at the hospital, I asked the owner to cater breakfast for my coworkers as a way of me thanking them for being so welcoming & he went above & beyond with the variety of food & the amount of food he delivered far exceeded what I paid for! All the staff loved the pancakes, sausage, French toast, bacon, bagels, fresh fruit, etc. There was enough for 3 different units to eat! This diner truly went above & beyond on making this out of towner feel at home. Thank you Band Wagon Diner for your delicious food, awesome hospitality & keeping this tired nurse fed!!

We ordered two of the dinners to go - eggplant parm and chicken francaise. Both were okay, but just not great. They are generous with the portions, and the dinners come with pasta, salad and garlic bread. The meats and other prepared foods look good. They also have several types of rye bread from Paramount bakery in Newark. I got a loaf of the Russian rye, and it's really good, hearty rye bread. We'll definitely come back - and next time try a meatball parm sub and perhaps some of their sausage or other things.
