    Visit for a birthday brunch. Our server was awesome. This reminded me of a turning point. The food was good drink choices exotic breakfast items are limited for those who don't eat pork. Good time with the table wait.

    Nice cafe/restaurant with unique options. Food was fresh and we enjoyed our experience here. Great service.

    First of all, this is more of an experience than an actual breakfast. You don't have to spend as much money as I did. People shouldn't complain about the price. This isn't a mom and pop diner. It's a gourmet novelty eating establishment. I love the decor and there is ample outside seating. Inside it has a warm and inviting kind of atmosphere. Someone I met at another establishment told me about this place and recommended it. I read some reviews that didn't look so great but I decided that I would ignore those because they seemed like a personal vendetta. I had to get blood work this morning and it was much further away than I thought because I booked at the wrong lab, but I decided to go anyway and I'm glad I did. At first the hostess was going to seat me towards the back, and I decided to move myself to a table by the window. They didn't have a problem with it, and a nice young man cleaned it off for me. So I'm looking at the specials and I see this cookie butter latte is a special of the month I immediately decide to get it. It had a Biscoff cookie in it! I also saw on the specials Challah French toast, which I believe is also a cookie butter theme with sliced bananas and ordered quickly so as not to look at the whole menu, and get caught up in paradox of choice. I normally use a lot of syrup, but I just used the small pitcher of syrup because the it didn't need more syrup. The portion is large, and the buttery glaze simply delectable. A delightful experience for the sweet tooth that is me. Just amazing, even the healthy banana slices. I also got a side of pork roll cooked just the way I like it. The combination of the sweet and salty of the pork roll and the freshness of the bananas,combined combined with the crumbled Biscoff cookies made for an incredible explosion of flavors. I can't believe I ate almost every last bite!There was a lot of whipped cream in the latte. I probably would've cut back on that a little bit and put more latte in there but still all in all an amazing experience. I will definitely be back. I will probably order less food next time. My servers name was Molly I believe, and she was quite pleasant. I I'll definitely be back with friends.

    U know when you just want it to be great and it's meh? That was our TS experience. A few things. Wife ordered eggs Benedict, hollandaise sauce was an odd color with a taste different than all other diner's sauces. English Mufffin underneath was rock hard, difficult to cut with a serrated knife, seriously. I ordered 2+2=4, 2 scrambled eggs with bacon, home fries and pancakes. The eggs were really good, bacon was cooked medium as I like but had a very oily taste. Potatoes and pancakes were forgettable. They were fine, could've been much better or worse I guess. The service was great. Decor / design is very cool. The food presentation was beautiful but the taste was just ok. Definitely not a place we'll go out of the way for. And the kicker was we ordered 2 clubs sodas (from fountain, not cans) we were charged $3.50 each for, really? I'm not cheap but what is this Yankee Stadium?

    Fat Elvis deliciousness!

    Always a wonderful experience at Taylor SAMs. The cute place, the great food and delicious food every time. Don't ever change your ways!!

    French toast

    Very very good food. They had some weird tiktok controversy but idc bc their food is great. The eggs Benedict is delicious , and the French toast is also fire. 10/10 experience. Nice place too

    Biscuit with pimiento cheese and fried chicken
    Jordan C.

    This place deserves a 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned! A lovely hidden gem that serves breakfast and lunch all day, I was in complete heaven when I found out, I could get pot roast for breakfast! But first coffee, I had the NJ transit and ask them to add whip cream. It was literally the most delicious thing I've ever drank. Then I got the southern biscuit, but instead of fried cauliflower, I asked for fried chicken, it came with an egg and pimento cheese absolutely amazing better than the ones I've had in the south! And then, for the main event was my pot roast, I literally have no words just truly amazing. My server, Rob insisted I had dessert, so I decided to go with the pistachio cake, super moist, and though I am not a lover pistachio, this made me a believer! Everything is scratch made to order so you can order anything you want and you will not be disappointed. Trust me I will be back to eat the entire rest of the menu!

Since the original owner sold, the new owners have far exceeded our expectations! How could our favorite spot become even more exceptional?

The friendliness of the staff and the owner,specifically, is amazing. They really want you to have a good experience and clearly are passionate about hospitality. They even have a "take one" ticket on their cork board for those who can't afford a meal- someone can just receive.

Although it wasn't very busy, service upstairs was fairly slow, and several nearby tables also seemed to be waiting a while for food or checks. For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.

The chicken noodle soup tasted foul--almost as though the soup pot hadn't been properly cleaned between uses. My mother ordered a fruit cup with her meal, but the first thing they brought her was French fries. When they corrected the mistake, they brought out watermelon, pineapple, and banana slices. While the fruit itself would have been fine, the banana was already beginning to brown, which made it look particularly unappetizing. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. The French toast was limp and undercooked, and the French fries were hot on the outside but cold in the middle. The experience was bad enough that we noticed another customer at a table across and diagonally from us take one bite of his burger, put it down, get up, and leave without eating any more. By the time we left, we hadn't been able to eat much of anything. We ended up stopping at McDonald's on the way home because we were still hungry and needed something we could actually eat. I understand that mistakes happen in restaurants, but this was far beyond a single mistake or an off dish. Nearly everything we ordered had a problem, and the overall quality was extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not return.
