I don't even like diners but I hadn't eaten breakfast so by noon I was starving. I pass this place everyday but finally decided to try it. I got the country fried steak and eggs and it was amazing. Portions were huge, biscuit was toasted but still fluffy, even the orange juice was great. Can't wait until next Sunday for something new. read more

I've been here several times... nothing has ever topped my meal today. I ordered the Nutella stacks. Omggggg. They were so good. The menu lists that it has fresh strawberries and bananas, but I was hesitant because I didn't know how fresh they really were. Our waiter, Billy, was assertive that they are fresh & provided us with excellent service throughout our whole visit. The pancakes were very light and fluffy, with great flavor. Definitely a new favorite. I 100% recommend read more

Sunset Diner - Nutella Stacks - Diners Near Me - Ocean, New Jersey

This diner was a complete disaster, I came here for breakfast one morning and management is awful. We were ignored for a bit and then eventually acknowledged us. The coffee was a bit watered down and the platter we got. We asked for EXTRA well done bacon but it came out half well done and half soggy. Poached eggs... now this was a first for me. Poached eggs was in a cup with the water...home fries were like mashed potatoes, I understand that different diners do either diced or kinda sliced up but this was completely mashed up. The whole experience was bad for me. The worse was that the owner reached offer my table to tell his busser to give him the rag... EXTREMELY RUDE WHEN HE ASKED his employee. and the fact that he retrieved over my head! how unsanitary! Also, our watery coffee was never refilled. It was a quiet meal as we were just trying to eat without thinking to much of it. read more

Family owned and all staff has their heart in it. Just a great little inexpensive diner with the best breakfast in the area. Try banana pancakes and turkey bacon...yum ! read more

Ordered a rueben togo got a huge delicous rubin for 14$ with fries coleslaw and the hooked me up with pickles.definatly ordering again

This place looks small when you first drive up, but it's huge on the inside. Great breakfast! We ordered omelets and my daughter ordered French toast. All were great. I enjoyed the Brooklyn omelet. Service was a tad slow due to the volume, I wonder if someone called out, but it was still great. We finished at 10 and ran over to Costco. If you're in the neighborhood, drop in! True diner fun. read more

Wow! What a find. We had spent the day on the boardwalk, but the restaurants all looked overwhelmed with long waits, so we hit this place on the way back to the Parkway. Excellent diner food. We all had burgers and they were big, fresh and perfectly cooked. The fries and onion rings were crispy and there were plenty of them. Service was very friendly and food came out quick. Great place! read more

Stopped here after a day at Asbury Park boardwalk , great food! Chicken fingers platter was delish!

I come here pretty often when I'm in the mood for a good home cooked feeling meals. The breakfast has a lot of options as far as pancakes And waffles. I also came here for lunch a couple of times very good food and the best part is they deliver! read more

Sunset Diner - Pork roll egg and cheese with home fries on the side - Diners Near Me - Ocean, New Jersey

Hands down the best diner around. They go the extra mile to make you feel rite at home. Large food portions, great tastes. Large menu, they have it all. Everything you need to make the day rite. read more

Packed with everyone ordering breakfast food at 1pm, so service was a tad slow but not bad. Eggs benedict were definitely not perfect (pasty hollandaise and the english muffin was tough) but tasty, eggs perfectly runny, and the hash browns with those burnt, crispy bits that make hash browns what you want. read more

It pains me to leave this review. Let's start by being seated in back of unruly loud patrons. Further to be disappointed to find menu items on menu aren't available. I understand restaurants are struggling but not to in some way block out or make it clear which items aren't available is not acceptable. The sauce on the linguine was not a marinara sauce or an Italian sauce at all but rather a red clam sauce which to be honest went bad or something because it didn't taste right. If you plan to go to this restaurant call ahead to see if they have what you intend to eat because they may not have it. The only reason for 2 stars is waitress was nice and did a good job. read more

I live in Mercer County.But when I go down to the shore I stop by here to get breakfast food. Especially the hash browns. They taste so good that it keeps me coming to them. read more

Always a good experience at this diner. A large menu with affordable prices-Lots of bacon with your eggs or Taylor Ham, etc. I ordered Cally Fruit Plate-terrific Fresh fruit and lots of it. Our waitress was very sweet and welcoming (Staten Island girl) name Stephanie! Check it out! read more

Just had delicious breakfast nachos! Eggs, cheese, chorizo, jalapeños! Very fun breakfast.

Went for Breakfast after looking at all the great Yelp reviews. I was super disappointed. With food. Service was fine. Omelet was over cooked with not much in it. Kids Burger was also over cooked. Burger looked like a frozen patty. Unfortunately we won't return. There are many better options a few minutes away. read more

I've paid a few visits to this classic diner over the past few weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed it. In my view anyway, I see no basis for some of the negative comments. The weekday early dinner specials are phenomenal and this Saturday nights chicken Oscar stuffed with crabmeat in a lovely cream sauce over rice was sublime. A velvety cream of turkey soup and custard bread pudding rounded out the meal. It would be nice to see the diner get a bit more support than they seem to. These diners are fast disappearing from the landscape. Hope the Sunset will be around for many years. read more

UPDATE: This place still rocks! Went here recently for breakfast and ordered pancakes and breakfast sausage. All I can say is: nomnomnom. read more

Bagels, pancakes and eggs Oh my! Placed in a small strip mall type thing on crowded Sunset Ave the Sunset Diner is a no frills place to stop and eat when coffee and a bagel on the run just won't do. Don't get nervous though, they do have bagels, yummy chewy ones and their coffee is not too shabby. Their pancakes are great and their servers have just the right amount of attitude to make you feel like a regular. *sigh nothing like some fresh cooked diner food to make you miss mom yelling at you on Saturday morning. read more

Just had breakfast here and I was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I are down in the area for a friend's wedding, and while I had some time to kill, I needed a spot for a solid breakfast. Yelp fixes all. I ordered my usual diner request: a nice omelette with egg whites, ham and cheese. A side of home fries was also in order. Topped off with a side of toast and a big glass of OJ, the meal was spot-on. Done well, extra hot, and the home fries were fantastic. All for under $12, you can't complain about that! 4/5 easily - if you're in the area and need a good breakfast spot, Sunset is a great diner bet. read more

Listen to Caroline.....this little known gem has the best diner food on the shore only equal to the Cobblestone Diner and Princess Maria.

Great basic diner fare! Only ordered once got delivery but was perfect! Much better than expected!

This is my second time coming to the sunset diner but the first time was many many years ago with a friend and I don't remember my experience. However, this morning I ordered through doordash for myself to pick up on my way to work I got a breakfast quesadilla with salsa and sour cream on the side. I picked it up and the man at the counter was very friendly and my order was ready on time however once I got to work and I opened it to eat it I dipped my quesadilla in the salsa and it was so acidic that it was tingling on my tongue and tasted like vodka. It was so soiled that it made me gag. I spit it out in the garbage and decided to try the sour cream to see if I could at least have one thing to dip my quesadilla into and it was clumpy and cheesy so I had to spit that out as well, once I took a bite of the quesadilla on its own I noticed that the cheese inside of the quesadilla tasted funky so in the end I had no meal and now I don't feel good. Looks delicious and I wish that I could say the same for how it actually taste but I can't. It's one thing if a restaurant gets an order wrong or some other silly mistake that can be fixed but when something has gone bad and you are serving expired or spoiled food to customers, that's when there's an issue. I'm not only out $10 now but I have no breakfast at work and I feel sick to my stomach because I was served food that had gone bad. read more

My 3 friends and I randomly picked this place to eat lunch yesterday on our day trip to Asbury Park Beach. It wasn't that crowded, the service was very friendly and quick, and most importantly, the food tasted great. Doesn't hurt that they have ample parking around the side and back of the little strip where they are located. Solid, overall diner that I will definitely go to again if I am in that area. read more

Gem in the rough. Whether you are a regular 9r just in for a bite, this is a great spot. True Jersey - hearty size meals with healthy alternatives for you fit folks. Breakfast can be a smoothie, full on eggs, meat and pancakes 9r a great salad. Big booths and tables with quick service. Just off 35 and easy in and out with large parking lot in the back. Just across the street from 7-11, so it's easy to find. Lots of Greek specialities and they have everything on the menu from blue plate specials to steaks w/sides. Love coming here with the wife and kids. read more

Not exactly the most exciting place in town for a late breakfast but always does the job right. Parking on the street is a challenge but save yourself the trouble and head to the back parking lot. All this diner is missing is free WIFI to go with my cup of coffee. read more

Felt like getting dinner, just not sure what I was in the mood for. A diner has EVERYTHING!! So I looked up diners & came upon Sunset Diner, the reviews sounded great. I am SOOOO glad I went. Had the prime rib which was tender, juicy, super flavorful (no condiments needed!) & cooked to perfection! The mashed potatoes are real & also delicious. Salad is made when you order it, they use all fresh veggies. I like to sit at the counter, I'm glad I did. There was laughing & joking amongst the staff & customers. I felt right at home & among friends. The waitresses are just the right amount of attentive, engaged me in conversation, plus are very friendly & welcoming. Definitely will be back! read more

First time I'm going to write a review and I'm still sitting at the table. I have no clue what some of these other reviews are raving about. "Best diner at the shore" NOT EVEN CLOSE. This place is huge on quantity and not so much on quality or freshness. No matter what we got, from breakfast to dinner all four of us were disappointed. This is the GARDEN STATE and it's understood that this is a diner, but at the very least get fresh vegetables! The low lights: Burnt omlete no fresh vegetables on any of the meals chicken was chewy bland beef in the goulash fruit bowl looked old didn't offer/mention the rest of the dinner special items (vegetables, dessert) Returned goulash, kitchen staff came out to look at us Made the wrong pancakes, staff ate them in a nearby table Whole wheat pancakes were cut open Highs: Decent French toast The worst meal in a very long time. Should have been a sign that no one else was there eating. read more

Ordered from this place 3 times. They only do Uber eats and door dash. All 3 times they have got my order wrong. I ordered a cheesesteak all 3 times, clearly making the cheesesteak selection and not the chicken cheeksteak selection. And all 3 times they send chicken. It's literally on the receipt they put on the bag! Uber doesn't want to cure it except give me basically what I paid for, I'm not eating it, it's absolute trash when I tried it the first time. 2nd two sandwiches got dumped right in the garbage. Won't be ordering from here anymore! Shame I have even given them so many chances! When I call them up they tell me to take it up with Uber eats lol read more

This place looks very small from the outside but it is pretty big inside and there is additional parking in the back. came here for brunch and was pleased that they had healthy options on the menu for those watching what they're eating. I ordered broccoli and cheese with egg whites and instead of home fries I had a side of fruit. the food was good and even though my meal was healthier and less calories it still left me feeling full and satisfied. for my sister who had your typical eggs with cheese, home fries, sausage and toast, she loved it and said it was good food. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Also service was quick. Good place to come if you're looking for a place to grab a quick bite. read more

Beware! We had breakfast here and the food was quite good and service was pleasant BUT then the couple sitting in the booth in front of us noticed a live cockroach crawling on the booth ahead of them. And there were dead cockroaches on the floor in the ladies bathroom. Will not return! read more

Used to love this diner until I had the displeasure of meeting the owner. What a very nasty man. Never again will we eat there. This encounter was not in the the restaurant but in the public. Horrible rude and nasty person. I watched him interact with a grocery worker and watched him pay. It didn't get any better. Very sad when they are wonderful people working hard to feed people. Pick any other restaurant So disappointed read more
