I used to come here when it was called the point diner... like fifty years ago. Recently we noticed the change of ownership and the total renovation, and we decided to give it a try. Well, it was a good surprise to finally find a nice place with outdoor seating and great food. Not to forget the great hospitality from Mike , the owner and Anthony, the server. I had the chicken jambalaya, and my wife ordered the fajitas. Honestly folks... we loved every bite. The jambalaya was spicy and a bit tangy. My wife loved her fajitas and attacked my jambalaya. BTW, that was Thursday. Here we are here again on Sunday, this time for breakfast... stay tuned. I'll update you later. Ok... I ordered a breakfast that had toast, poached eggs, avocado and Hollandaise sauce. It was delicious and tasty. My wife ordered the body builder omelette, which had Turkey... she wasn't happy with the Turkey. It was a little dry. Overall it was a good experience. Ps. The restaurant was so busy, the owner himself waited on us and was very attentive to our needs. read more

Mismanagement has cause me to never order again. I was a loyal customer for over three years until this incident caused me to never order again. Ordered deliver with my wife. One order was missing an egg, the other order was missing an entire side (soup on a $20 order of Mac n cheese). These things happen, so we call and explain that we are missing an egg and a side. The employee offers to send us the side and asks if we want a new egg platter. We decline, and just note the missing egg. The employee insists on sending us a new egg platter since he is already dispatching the delivery person on the missing soup. We accept. A few minutes later, the manager calls demanding that we send the original 2 eggs back with the delivery person, implying that we are trying to scam a $7 egg platter (on a $55 order no less). So you forget to send half of an entree (the soup) and your concern is whether or not you are getting scammed over an egg??? Avoid this place like the plague; your money is better spent at Gotham or any of the 10s of other diners in the area. read more

Always a great time at this diner. Staff very friendly & attentive. This time we came for breakfast. I had the breakfast sliders with home fries. 2 sliders come with the order and it consists of waffles, sausage, cheese. It was super flavorful and big. Halfway through the first one and I was already stuffed. A friend had a BEC & a vanilla milkshake. Whatever you do, you need to try their shakes ... they are GREAT. COVID UPDATE: the outdoor tables are spaced out, they do give you paper menus if you ask but they have the QR code for the menu on sheets hanging from the inside the tent. Servers and hosts wear masks at all time. read more

Beacon diner is one of those diners that you can set your watch to. You know you are going to get good food and big portions. The omelettes are made fresh and fluffy. We went out on the limb and got the mac and cheese balls too. Weird combo with an omellette but they were good. I see them as perfect for a hangover. Loaded with mac and cheese and served with a cheese sauce. The portions are huge and you won't leave hungry. What more could you want?! Friendly people too. Great place. read more

Everything was so delicious. Ambiance was quiet and American which is my favorite combination. Gabriella was my server and she was friendly and fast. 10/10 recommend read more

The Beacon, as it's known now, has gone through a number of owner/managers, but the newest iteration has potential! Considering good diners, and IMO consistently good breakfast spots, are hard to come by in this area The Beacon serves up a good cup of coffee, great egg platter specials and an array of omelettes, bennies, and pancake/waffle selections. My bacon has always arrived crispy and my eggs exactly as ordered to my preference. They are also great with substitutions and have a variety of sides and add-ons to complement every dish on the menu. The service has also been top notch at every visit, while the atmosphere a little loud depending on the time and day you go (weekends being more packed with people), is typical of the diner experiences of my youth, when NJ had a plethora of great diners in every town. I recommend the "breakfast all the way" as a good sampler to start your breakfast journey here, you won't be disappointed! read more

I come here almost every Sunday and they never disappoint!! They have everything you can think of--pasta, tacos, sandwiches, wraps, crepes, breakfast, desserts, etc.. best diner in Hudson and Bergen county read more

The Beacon Diner - Nutella Crepes - Diners Near Me - Fairview, New Jersey

Was here at this place eating breakfast and ordered a Tylor ham and egg sandwich for $6.50, they charged me $0.50 for the roll the total was $7.00 not $6.50. This is about principles how they can charge $0.50 for a bun when I ordered a sandwich. A sandwich is supposed to come with bread. These places are the ones that are fashionable. They will screw the customers in every way. What a pity there is no more honesty any more. I will never go back to this place. I do not want to support this type of establishment when it is not based on honesty. read more

Went for breakfast this morning with a friend. I ordered the Maryland Benny which is served with crab cakes. The poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce and home fries were tasty. The crab cakes were deep fried and so hard I couldn't even cut them. They ruined the whole dish. I'm so disappointed. read more

Soon as you walk in you can feel the good energy of all, staff, customers etc... When In the area do yourself a favor stop in have whatever your heart desires, I promise you will not be disappointed!! read more

The food here is the best in town. They had crepes on the menu (always a plus for me). We sat on the outdoor patio that was very clean. The manager was very attentive and even asked us what we had ordered when he noticed it was running a bit late (without us saying anything). The home fries were exactly how you want them--not burnt to a crisp, but rather nicely mixed with the onions and peppers with a light golden brown hue. We ordered the 2 of the nutella crepes but trust me when I tell you one crepe order is more than enough for 2 people. They are very generous with their portions! Prices were very reasonable as well! read more

Delicious food. Quick service. Clean establishment. Nice family owned business. Highly recommend.

My son is gluten free we the rest of us are not. All our food was delicious our waiter was extremely friendly( the atmosphere is very nice.

Food comes out too late and staff is unfriendly. I never want to use this place again.

This has always been a good local diner but since the new owners updated and renovated, it's even better. Breakfast is my most frequent diner meal and you will not be disappointed with the choices but my niece and I had a surprisingly good dinner here recently. We ordered the 2 of the dinner specials- a homemade chicken pot pie and beef goulash and we cleaned our plates. Service was good and we look forward to returning soon for another dinner. read more

Let's start with my family and I wanted to try a new place. We should have went elsewhere. Bill for 5 was $134. For a DINER. I ordered the French onion soup, it was really good. That was it, the end of anything good. My burger was ok, the fries had gravy which was not mentioned on the menu anywhere. I stopped once I seen that. My husband ordered a clam chowder soup that was red and had vegetables on it. He asked the waitress why it red. She said that's how they make their clam chowder. He also ordered a green apple martini that was almost blue. His eggplant parmigiana was made with dollar tree linguine. My daughter's Nutella pancakes were mediocre. My son ate his chicken fingers and left all the fries. Unsure why. The waitress rolled her eyes at one point. Never asked if we wanted refills on our sodas. Walked past or pulled up dishes time after time. With all this said the price tag for this meal was over $80 too much! Do not waste your money unless in this establishment. read more

All I have to say is if you want the best breakfast around this area, this is the diner to go to. Excellent selection and quality. Enjoy!

This place just re-opened with the new management and thought that I would give it a try. Turns out that it wasn't the best idea. I walked in and the receptionist was on the phone, didn't acknowledge the new customer presence and I stood there for about 5 minutes until one of the servers escorted me. Then the server never came for my order and waited another 10 minutes until I had to go up and physically ask for my server. Food was okay. Nothing superb, but fresh ingredients. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the service experience I had. read more

50 years ago I listened to game 7 of the World Series at the Point Diner in Fairview NJ. The Point Diner is now the Beacon Diner. Finally had a chance to try this place and glad we did. I had the Penne Pomodoro with shrimp and my wife had the vegetarian pasta with shrimp. We both started with the Matzo Ball soup which was excellent. Both our dishes were huge. I finished mine and my wife took a good portion of hers home. Each dish had six shrimp. Service was fine and we will be back. read more

Great neighborhood go-to spot. Delivery is sprays pretty quick and the price is always pretty competitive as well.

Buyer beware u can't just call and order a large soup u can a container that looks like a small then when u call u get told u were supposed to read the menu lol I never had this issue with any diner restaurant ever and then u get passed to everyone then u get the manager who blames the customer for not reading a menu and just calling to place an order I've never experienced that either they make allot of errors here with ur orders not my first time but we wanted soup what a mistake and to blame the customer I've never heard such unprofessionalism I said come get it it's not what I wanted keep in mind it's a small container of rice broth hardly any veggies or chicken and I'm told he won't take a loss lol I would rate this as a stay away from place I never leave reviews ever I've also never been spoken to like this it's all my fault never never never again It's read more

NEVER order the Bourbon Burger. I received a dry burger with cheese and bacon. No bourbon sauce. It also came with a side of brown gravy ( which I thought was just an error). I told the waiter that he forgot the bourbon sauce and he pointed to the gravy. I explained that I tasted it and i explained to him that what he gave me was brown gravy. He took it back and about 5 minutes later came back with the same brown gravy although now it was warm. I tasted it and almost lost it! Apparently the cook added bourbon to the brown gravy and warmed it up! If he did not know what bourbon sauce was he should have just admitted it. I ended up asking the waiter for barbecue sauce since I figured I was just wasting my time. What a shame. I don't know if I would order anything other than breakfast or a plain burger. Scared of what may come out of the kitchen! read more

I've been going through this place for so long and I was insulted and made fun of by one of the managers I will never go to this place again it is changed since they took the train down the place has gone to shit. I've seen bugs running all over the place. This place is disgusting though it should be shut down I tried to contact the owner about my complaint and he wouldn't talk to me or she wouldn't talk to me whoever it is. read more

My wife and I stopped by on Father's Day morning. We were seated immediately. Wait staff came by with water and menus. That was the last time we saw any wait staffer. We sat polity for 20 minutes. No one came by with coffee. No one came to take our order. We got up and left. On our exit the hostess said, "Thank you." read more

The diner was fully renovated last year and it's a family run business. Consistently great traditional diner food. We order here on average three times a week and pick up the food ourselves. Great daily specials and good prices too. The quality of the food is very high and well presented. Now that we are vaccinated we just started dining inside again. Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have always found the staff very efficient and friendly. Sunday mornings are busy so earlier is better to go earlier than later. read more

I have become a regular user of the delivery. They have great desserts try the s'mores crepes and I love their shakes and smoothies as well. Great breakfast. The 4 stars reflect the prices. They are a bit too high. read more

The food at Beacon Diner is truly amazing I am the type of person who is very picky with their food but they had so many options to choose from. I chose the waffles with Nutella and strawberries on top and my friend had some pasta. The waffles were really good just a bit dry for my liking and my friend said that she loved her pasta and would be getting it again when we come back here. One thing I disliked though was my strawberries they didn't really taste that fresh to me and one of my strawberries look too ripped but overall I would give my food a 8 out of 10 and my friend said she would give her food a 10 out of 10. Besides the food the customer service is great I walked in and got seated within five minutes. The waitress was very nice and respectful towards us ad=nd was really quick with everything he was doing. After getting seated, the waitress came to us right away, brought us water, and then asked us what we would like to order. After ordering our food he brought it to us within 10 minutes which is amazing to me but overall my whole experience at this diner I would give it a 10/10 and would definitely recommend it to other people. read more

Exelent place! Did a little birthday encountering! And my waiter Edgar was super attentive and service wise he succeeded to perfection!! Deff will repeat my presence in this spot read more

The best way to describe our takeout order is average. We ordered the tuna triple decker (pictured here) and the Buffalo chicken wrap. They weren't bad, but weren't great compared to the same order elsewhere. While they were very generous with the tuna, it lacked much flavor. Also, I would've preferred they cut the hard boiled egg in the sandwich into smaller pieces rather than keeping it in larger chunks. That way, you get egg with every bite. Overall, I wouldn't say you shouldn't go here, but don't expect anything special. read more
