Great specials! It seems as though they have a new chef, and I have ordered a few of their nightly specials and throughly enjoyed them! The prices are reasonable, and the casual atmosphere makes it a good place to go if you are in a hurry. Some of the waitresses have yet to be desired, though there are a few that are great (I always ask for Chrissy or Marie) - they're probably the two best ones. Definitly try out some of the new specials! read more

Good food, fast service, and fair prices. Went here with the family for breakfast after a long drive. I had an omelet that was well prepared. Portions were just right and food arrived hot. Worth noting that the dining area and bathrooms were clean. Overall very good in terms of ones expectations for a diner. read more

Somers Point Diner - Very good! - American Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

Used to come here all the time and the food and service were excellent. Came in after a long, busy day with the family. Food was just ok. Service was horrendous. We sat down at the way too small table for the 5 of us. (We had to ask the waitress to push another table over so we all had somewhere to eat). When the waitress came by to take our order, she just stared at our table without asking for our orders. She spent most of her time hanging in the kitchen than tending to her tables. Unfortunately, our go to spot is no more. VERY DISAPPOINTED read more

We went here on Friday night about 830 the place wasn't crowded waitress was very nice... However very slow service from the Cooks We waited 25 minutes for a turkey club on rye bread that's absolutely ridiculous first time trying it I doubt will ever go back not a very good first impression read more

Terrible mismanaged business. Once order placed it took forever about 35 minutes to serve two omelets, a fruitcup, 3 coffees and a cup of milk. The omelets were good but the toast was so cold and hard it was like it was sitting for an entire day, I ordered bacon on the side and it was put in the omelet. I was there for one hour and 15 minutes and all they had to prepare were the omelets and toast. The coffee cups were extremely small and one hour 15 minutes and not offered a refill and I needed one. The waiter was pretty bad, the place was pretty empty and he was more interested iin filling the salt and pepper shakers than taking care of customers. When we did get our food I asked for ketchup, it never came so I gave up and just ate the mediocre home fries. To make maters worse, the bill had a math error of over 5 dollars. Last year I ate here and had a very pleasant experience, Not sure if there are new owners or what ? When i paid the woman checked the math like I asked and she corrected it and said this happens all the time. Geez FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM. read more

Stopped by for lunch and sat at the counter. Open face turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, carrots, cranberry cup and garden salad. All was good. Iced tea to drink. Waitress was on the spot when wanted. Big lunch for a weekday and it satisfied. The diner was clean. I will visit again. read more

This terrible restaurant really made us sick. My son ordered Cheese Burger Sliders. And they're not even sliders, it's literally just a regular cheese burger just cut into 4. The cheese on it felt like rubber. How can you screw up a burger?? No really it's actual trash. The food was just all round awful. And the waitress was a trainer and was very nervous about us. 1 star. read more

As Diners go this is near the worse. Ok here we go. Snapper Soup was watery and bland. Shrimp Cocktail was served HOT? Onion Soup was strange tasting and the cheese was skimpy and was not served hot. Buffalo Wings were a decent variety and worth the 6 bucks. Cajun Fries were served in a pile of mush. I have no idea why the fries were called, "Cajun Fries." Fried oysters and Chicken Salad was ok. Very small portion. 50 dollars including tip. Of yea the service was also a very strange experience, the waitress came back to the table 6 times to go over our order? I would not go to this place again. read more

The last two trips to this diner have revealed critically poor service, and insincere management. 20 minutes for a cup of coffee, while food sits, untouched at the table. Then another 20 to get a refill. I counted maybe a half dozen patrons in the restaurant. Tonight's experience reduced your customer base by 2. I don't care how good your food is. Bad service is insurmountable. Period. read more

Nice location right before you enter OCEAN CITY. It's right before the bridge. Big size diner, lots of parking. You can't miss it! Very nice friendly workers. Pretty big menu and you can get from breakfast, sandwiches, seafood, pasta, to burgers. The waiter was really nice & quick with our orders & food. I enjoyed the mozzarella sticks & I had a pizza burger. Which I had to pay extra for lettuce and tomato ! That's part of my why they didn't get 5 stars also they barely had most of the side orders on the menu like cole slaw, potato salad, rice or even much fries left. For a 24 hr diner I wouldn't think u run out of so much food at once. The prices were decent and I enjoyed the location and staff. I would come back and hopefully they have much more selections I could choose from. read more

Great breakfast! Fast service! Tough to find a good breakfast place around but this place hits the spot. Ask for cold brew iced coffee!

Horrible at best. They have no idea how to sit people (crowd at the door, seven! open tables in sight), the service is lousy and the food is mediocre. Avoid! read more

Stopped here for breakfast after a weekend getaway in OCNJ. Service was OK, seems like we had them confused by having 8 people in our party. Food was good, service was "meh". Typical diner food, lacking the wow factor. I will probably stop back if I am in the area to gab some lunch. we shall see. read more

Crabcake sandwich taste funny ..... :/ Most likely the crab cake was frozen before...(that's the Famous crabcake :/...) read more

Today I went with 7 friends for breakfast we waited 10 minutes to be sat 10 minutes and she placed silverware then waited another 25 for drinks which she mixed up and didnt bring everything we got our food two plates at a time my one buddy was done when I started my other friend found a hair in her food I had chicken salad was Terrible home fries terrible waited 20 minutes for our check we were debating not even tipping service was so bad only thing she said the whole time was "what can I get you?" And "gratuity is included" we got charged for stuff that we never got we just threw the money down and left read more

The best liver and onion dish I've ever had, the corn was amazing, definitely coming back read more

Somers Point Diner - American Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

I am very upset with all of the negative reviews on Yelp...remember this is a diner and not a Michelin Stared restaurant! My wife and I love the Point Diner! Every time we visit, the service is friendly, the atmosphere is comfortable and the food is delicious! This evening our server was Emily and she was great. Took the time to talk with us and was very efficient and attentive. I had the Navy Bean soup and french dip sandwich and it was great! Also the pies make for a great dessert! If your in Somers Point or Ocean City N.J. make sure to stop at the Point Diner for a bite, you won't be disappointed.! read more

Clean looking, good food. Great view of the bay. The management makes the servers take unused napkins off the table and give them to other patrons. That can spread infectious diseases such as flues, colds, germs from the servers handling money which is filthy. I saw a roach near the kitchen. The waitress killed it. When she tried telling the manager, Maria, she barked and was told to go back and do her job. One of the patrons said the meatloaf taste like dogfood. He asked the server if could have take-home box so he could give it to his dog. The server did apologize and or offer to substitute or refund his money. Overall my chicken parmigiana was hot and delicious. The French Onion soup was way to salty for my taste. If I had witnessed the condiditions as descibed above, I would not have aten there. Also, although the servers work very hard and are very friendly. They are not treated with appreciation by the shift mgr. That makes me wonder how much they value their patrons. Especially if saving a few more dollars on napkins is more important than the well being of their patrons! Also, there is too much yelling in the kitchen by the cooks or management which I found disturbing. For those who don't mind or notice the unsanitary conditions, it's open 24 hours a day. I however, won't ever return after I witness the unsanitary conditions first hand. read more

See all

I only give this place a one because I can't give it a ZERO. Took over 90 minutes to get out of this place. Ordered chicken croquettes and there was no sign of chicken at all. Not really sure what it was but it was something like stuffing. Spoke with another table that said they've been going there for over 30 years and will never go back. For us, first and definitely LAST time. read more

A disappointment. We were confronted with a mal adjusted waiter that was making comments that were totally inappropriate. To add, the milk was sour and the waitress denied that it was. The food took at least 55 minutes as well. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE EVER AGIAN! read more

We stopped here around midnight as it was pretty much the only diner in the area that was actually open (what's up with that??). Did the trick-- I really wanted disco fries. They were delicious and 5 bucks. My husband and I also got sandwiches (grilled cheese and a blt) for about $5-6 each. The food came in under 10 minutes. Would definitely go back. read more

I went there on a Friday night with my friend and his brother for dinner. My friend got a short stack of hot cakes and his brother got a bacon cheeseburger. I also got a cheeseburger which was quite delicious. The food was pretty good and the serving size was fair but the waitress is why this is getting a 2 star. We were sat right when we got there and we got our food fast, but it took 10 minutes to get the check after she took our plates. If it was busy I'd understand but there were only a handful of people there. Besides the check taking a while to come out, it was pretty good. read more

Absolute terrible service. Sat down and it took the waitress 0ver 5 mins to take our coffee order. After our breakfast order was taken, two other diners around us that came in 10 mins after us got their food. After 15mins, a hostess came over and asked us if our order was taken. I said no. We got up and left. Would never recommend this place. read more

oh the point diner. now, i think i've been here one time when i wasn't either buzzed or drunk and it also wasn't like 3-4am, that being said, here's what i think. pretty much the place we always end up after drinking in somers point in the summer (and winter for that matter). it's always open, and the waitresses do a hell of a job dealing with the drunk idiots (like us), coming in this late. food.....meh. its pretty overpriced and not really that great to be honest. if you stick with something standard like bacon and eggs, you'll get a decent meal, but as you climb the ladder you get less and less quality, but steeper prices. it really is only good for it's breakfast food. last time i went i had the nachos which reminded me of like manwich laid on top of tostitos with cheese whiz, STRUGGLIN. its really average here, and pretty hit or miss with the food. if you go, get something standard that looks like classic diner fare, and you'll at least be satisfied, but it won't be the greatest thing in the world. but hey, at least its open all the time, and it's so conveniently placed to all the bars :) read more

Hubby still loves the meatloaf even after so many years! Great stop on the way off the island before the shoobies filled traffic jams! lol Have had an older woman serve me last two times there. I think her name was Wendy. Very nice and responsive. Its great to see - service has not always been there strong suit in the past. So glad for the same great food and improved service! read more

The service is ok. The food is another story. I have had much better. If in the area, and nothing else is open, ok, go for it, otherwise, pass. read more

The reason I'm giving this place a negative review is because the man at the register is a crook. My wife and I stopped here for breakfast on Saturday August 30th, 2014. Our bill came to $16.69. I paid with a $20. First, the man at the register didn't say a word to me. He didn't say hi, good morning, how was your meal.... He simply took my bill, took my money, and blatantly handed back three dollars and a quarter. I realized he shorted me six cents, but I just walked out. Once I got outside, it started to set in that this guy deliberately stole six cents from me. Now I don't care about the six cents... But the fact that this guy is probably ripping people off a little here and a little there makes me not only want to never come back to Point Diner, but also blow the whistle on this place and let others know how what my experience was. read more

Another one of my favorite joints in Sounth Jersey. I have been going here for years and love the place. Mike was our waiter for dinner and this guy is hilarious! always brings your mood up a couple points cause the guys energy is contagious. I usually eat breakfast here cause Im either drunk and its 2am, or I'm hungover, and its 11am. I highly recommend the Chicken Francais for dinner. ITS BANGING! Cant go wrong with the POINT DINER read more

Food was very poor! By all means dont go here! Prices were decent but the food sucks! Paid 45 dollars for 2 adults and 2 children. An none of us enjoyed it! Not worth it. Eggs were runny. Pancakes were dull no flavor. Bacon was undercooked. Yuck! Turn around now. Service was...eh ok. read more

We were very disappointed with our meals and experience. Now we have eaten here many times in the past 35 plus years. First they were short handed. It was only 1 server and a hostess/cashier. Now the hostess helped out all she could. They did the best they could. It took us over 30 minutes for us to get our check. Now the food was nothing to write home about. I had the cheese omelette. It was over cooked and the home fries were burnt. My wife and father had the New York strip topped with shrimp special. They said it was very bland. The steak had no seasonings along with the shrimp and mash potatoes. They waitress didn't bring cocktail sauce. My wife said the carrots were the best part of her meal. My father loves beets and he didn't like them. My mom had a grilled cheese sandwich. She said the cheese was gummy. For dessert I had the rice pudding. It was some of the worst rice pudding I ever had. It was under cooked and not creamy. Now the food did come out quick and hot. Overall it was not a good dining experience. I hope it was just an one off night and not their new usual. Not sure when we will be back, but it will awhile. read more

Great food, great prices, staff was fast to sit me for breakfast. Privately owned, and open 24 hours. Gotta Love the North East!

Food was pretty gross...eggs tasted like wet brown bag...but at least the people were nice.

Five stars for the waitstaff. The food is typical diner food. Lots of it and lots of choices. I have eaten here a few times. It's very nice that it's open 24 hours a day. The girl with the suntan is an excellent waitress. A real treat. Sorry I can't remember her name. It is a fun and lively place even pretty late at night. It would be a whole lot easier to give this more stars if we were greeted nicely. read more

This is a really good diner the waiter was really funny and chicken tenders with rice was great.

A Jersey Shore classic, I have been coming to the Point Diner to start my vacation since the 80s. On Saturday mornings in the summer, the place is packed, but the service is still efficient. The food is diner-perfection, and I highly recommend the scrapple. read more

This placed used to be great about 7-8 years ago. It slowly started to go down hill over the last couple of years, first the wait staff and finally the food quality... A few months ago I tried this place one last time. I ordered chicken parm and split and someone else had the cheese burger. We also had soup and split some mozerella sticks. First, this place is dirty! The windows are streaked and never cleaned, booth and table weren't wiped down. Soup was horrible, it was watery and flavorless. Mozerella sticks were just mozerella sticks, can't really complain about those. Next the chicken parm, again inedible. They somehow managed to over cooked a chicken breast to the point my steak knife couldn't even cut it! Pasta was over cooked and sauce was god awful. The burger sealed the deal, who puts kraft cheese whiz on a cheeseburger when the customer asks for American cheese? That was the nastiest burger I've ever seen! You couldn't bite into it (over cooked) and the cheese sauce they soaked it in was gross. Over $40.00 plus tip for a horrible meal. Would have been better off staying home and cooking dinner. On the flip side of you are ever arrested in Somers Point you'll get to enjoy a diner meal from this place (the "prisoner meal") and I'd venture to guess its on par with what I ate. read more

Absolutely horrible from start to finish. It takes a lot for me to leave a one star review but this place warrants it. The highlights of this experience are as follows: the hostess seats my party of seven in a room with no air conditioning. Keep in mind the rest of the restaurant is the temperature of the arctic circle (which I loved). The waitress whose name sounded like Tracey but I believe was Aracey needs to work on her table side manners. I won't get into details on her since I don't want her to get in trouble. Food... the food was terrible. Everyone in my party hated their food except my mother who loved her blueberry pancakes. My apple pancakes had RAW apples in them. They should have been cooked! My home fries were ice cold and flavorless. My aunts bagel was hard enough to kill someone should she decide to use it as a weapon. I won't continue... you get the picture. Very disappointed in the whole experience from start to finish. I will not return. read more

consistent food for a diner but coffee needs an upgrade

Have been a $5 breakfast special customer for many years 3-days a week, But lately the portions have been horrible the scrapple has been way undersized the amount of home fries, under sized, used to be a great breakfast for $5 but I would rather pay a little more else where for a full portioned breakfast. You lost a 20yr customer. read more

Great place. Extensive menu and great servers. The fried spicy Italian sausage is my favorite. A lot more than I expected from your average diner. I highly recommend this place. read more
