I've been to this diner twice before, the first time mid-afternoon and the second time early in the morning with a large group. Both times, the diner was relatively empty, so we had no problem being seated, More recently, I went with a large group, so we had to be split between two tables. We were offered free hot coffee, which I greatly appreciated. I ordered the eggs benedict and I do admit that the presentation could be improved upon, as the food appeared a bit messy, especially with the hollandaise sauce. Otherwise, I enjoyed my meal and my friends also seemed to like their breakfast as well! Overall, this was your standard diner and the meal itself wasn't too bad! read more

The Fontainbleau Diner - Chunky Monkey Pancakes, two eggs and bacon, Golden Brown Pancakes with Meat, and Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

The food is good! People there are so nice, treat you like family. Delicious desserts.

So we walked in at 8:35pm and we were greeted a bit gruff. They promptly informed us they close at 9pm. I am not used to restaurants turning a meat customers. Usually they will seat you if you come in the door right up till the stated time they close. Over all we had good food and they were fairly quick. read more

The Fontainbleau Diner - a menu for the restaurant - Diners Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

I came here to meet up with my brother after work to get some lunch. The staff here seemed pretty friendly but they could smile a little more to give a warm welcome feeling. Chicken Noodle Soup: This was perfect on a cold winter's day and it kept me warm. It had the correct ingredients and tasted delicious with enough flavor. Gyro: My brother said this tasted really good and was one of the best gyros he has had in a long time. Chicken Parm on a Roll: The chicken was cooked well and had enough taste to it from the sauce. The cheese tasted a bit different and could have been better. The roll was soft and was delicious with the sauce on it. Overall: This restaurant isn't so bad but it doesn't have that welcoming vibe in the restaurant. The restaurant seemed a bit boring that it makes you want to sleep or not be there. The food here was good but just wasn't that amazing to the point where I must come back to try out other menu items. read more

We have been going here for quite sometime and always had a fantastic experience. Tonight the highlight to my meal was the service. The waitress was great! I ordered the fish and chips special and was not anything that I expected. The soup that came with it "tomato rice" was acceptable but lacking in the rice department. The fish was flat "cod" fish cakes that were overcooked and Mrs.Pauls would better suited this meal. The fries was overdone and few on the plate. The menu offered few choices and since we were last there the special menu has been removed from the menu. We once enjoyed dining at this establishment and always found it to be good, but with the absence of the once special menu and limited menu items I would find it difficult to dine here again. Your opinions may difer from mine. read more

Each of the requests I made regarding the food was spot on and the service was very pleasant

A typical Jersey diner. I came here with a group of 6 and they were accommodating of the larger party. Our server, Sandy, was really sweet and made us feel welcome. The food itself though was kind of disappointing. Diner food doesn't need to be the best meal of your life but it should be satisfying comfort food. A lot of our dishes missed that mark. My fries tasted like they were reheated from a frozen package. A few of my friends ordered waffles and they all felt the waffles tasted funny. The whipped cream was a bit stale. I got an ice cream shake that was reasonable and one of my friends liked the chicken tenders. My meal (fries and a shake) came out to a little under $15 with tax and tip. You can probably get better in the area for the same price but if you do stop by, I would stick to finger foods and drinks read more

My friends and I went to Fontainebleau Diner for breakfast. When we arrived we noticed that parking was busy, but due to the large lot size there were plenty of spots available. The inside of the diner is large, with an abundance of tables. We were seated immediately and the service was quick as waters were brought to us as soon as we were seated. The menu was large with many options, including vegan and gluten free. The all day breakfast menu was our favorite. We each ordered a different meal and everything came out quickly and was delicious. I would most defiantly recommend the omelets as they were a highlight of the visit. The diner had a modern feel to it, but the booths allowed for it to maintain its diner charm. This American Diner was a Mid-Century modern style making it a nostalgic place for customers. If you are ever looking for a late night snack, the diner is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. read more

So the prices of the dishes honestly weren't bad considering it includes both a soup AND salad, as well as your drink. I thought that was really nice, also our waitress was a sweetheart, we loved her. Unfortunately the food was extremely bland. The chicken alfredo, I could taste how the broccoli was just frozen, the chicken had absolutely no seasoning to it, just as if it was boiled & thrown on the plate. The noodles for the fettuccine were overcooked & soggy & the sauce wasn't good either. As we were walking out the door (an hour and 5minutes before closing) there was a couple that were waiting for awhile to be sat, while there was only 1 other table dining in the restaurant, so it wasn't busy. The hostess put them at a table right next to the door & rushed them saying they close at 9 which was honestly really rude. Her demeanor was very unwelcoming. We definitely won't be returning read more

worst coffee I've ever been served! It had to be five days old. One sip and I knew not to ask for another cup . Then my soup came--seafood bisque. No fish in the seafood soup! And it was ice cold. After sending it back two times, it arrived somewhat warm. It tasted like bean soup minus the beans. Lots of noodles too. No seafood! I gave up. Finally lunch came and the gyro was cool and hard. No more Fountainblue for me! ugh! read more

A dump. They sat us at a table with missing ceiling tiles. Just after sitting, we noticed as the roof was leaking on us. They asked if we wanted to move SMH. Ordered the special stuffed cabbage. Gross! Tasted old, was frozen then microwaved. My son's burger was a frozen patty and they forgot the bacon. Sad, dirty disgusting little place. Avoid at all costs. read more

So we were out and hungry saw the sign and stopped in we were seated in a clean booth attended by. Sandy. She was friendly. Personable and efficient! Our food came out hot appetizing and delicious Thought the meal we were not ignored but Sandy was there. We left with our appetites suppressed and blessed by our server. Can't ask for much more Ask for SANDY read more

First time eating from here. We had the food delivered, so I expected some decline in quality because of that process, but in this case the main items were just plain badly done. The eggs were fine, the Home fries were actually Great! Kudos! The bacon was Ok, but it fell victim to a poor packaging decision. The pork roll they use tastes & looks more like Canadian bacon (not a fan of that). They give ample butter & syrup packets, plenty of plastic forks & knives, & a good amount of salt & pepper, so that's good. The French Toast because of it's texture, was also good, so no complaints there. But back to this poor packaging decision: The "Crispy Belgian Waffle" (they're description, not mine), & Pancakes fell victim to it. I could tell those items were freshly packaged, the problem is the foam containers were not given holes to "breathe." They could have just poked some in, but they didn't. As a result, the "crispy" waffle & pancakes were so soggy by the time that they arrived that they actually came across as under cooked. Could they have been? Sure! But I'd like to think that that was not the case. I'd be willing to try them again IN the restaurant. read more

Haven't been here in years but was in the area and took my daughter and her friend here to eat. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was busy but we were seated right away. The one thing that really bothered me was they try to fit so many ppl in that you are almost sitting on top of one another and the people next to us were loud and you couldn't help but listen to their whole conversation which I really didn't care to hear. Service was pretty quick. Food was good but my daughter didn't like the fresh fruit she got with her lunch special, said some of it wasn't ripe yet. I had the seafood bisque with mine and I didn't like it at all. Maybe had 3 spoonfuls. But the prices were reasonable. I would go back read more

Great service! Huge portions for a great price! The dinner specials include soup and salad for a great price. You can sit where you want and seats are clean. read more

This is a favorite haunt. When you're not sure about what to eat just come here and for sure you'll always find something that'll be right up your alley. While most diners are 'typically' the same fare... this one has better customer service than most. To me THAT is their unique factor. Very busy on weekends and some times there is a wait... but usually it's an easy walk in. I feel that you can never go wrong with their Daily Specials. read more

My star rating is based on the type of establishment I'm rating. This doesn't mean it's as good as the best steak house in Manhattan. I'm rating a diner. One of the main reasons is our server Stephanie. I was looking for one of my diner favorites, an open hot turkey sandwich. Well, I didn't see it on the menu, which is extensive, so I asked. She pointed out the turkey dinner which was in the $20 range. It included soup, salad a couple of sides, I think a drink. She picked up on the fact I wasn't excited and told me she could tailor it too the turkey on bread w/gravy and mashed or fries, perfect! It was a much better price for lunch. She served it and without asking brought extra gravy. It was real off the bone turkey and nice thick gravy. It was all very hot. My wife had spinach pie, side Greek salad, very good, Cream of Mushroom soup, just ok and an Arnold Palmer. We had a very nice lunch and will definitely return. Just remember order diner food in a diner. I hate when people order chicken parmigiana in IHOP then say IHOP is 1 star- order pancakes for gods sakes. read more

I love coming here it's a classic NJ diner. They have really great and affordable lynch specials that include soup and a drink give it a try don't listen to the naysayers! read more

I haven't been here in 15 years and I won't come back for 15 more. The waitstaff is good but that's it. I spit out everything I got except the pita bread and taziki sauce. The gyro is ridiculously salty, the tomatoes in the salad were flavorless, the iceberg lettuce looked OK but I don't like it, the coleslaw was totally inedible. The easier took our plates and saw I didn't eat much. I told him it was terrible and he just smiled politely. Yeah ... no. Skip this place. read more

Credit where credit is due: the inside is well kept and has a nice appearance and much of the staff seemed very nice. My waitress, Donna, was very inattentive. After a sigh that she had tables to wait on, she waited on tables that were sat after me. She even went to them multiple times for drink and food orders before she once came to mine. By the time the food came, she had forgotten an item and said she would be right back... after she sat down at a table to talk about life with another staff member. The food was over cooked and over salted, but had decent flavor other than that. NJ is the diner state- find a different one! read more

There are a lot of options which is customary at diners. The food was bland and disappointing. We ordered take out so no comment on service

So we pulled in here because IHOP was a long wait. We were seated immediately which was good but everything else was honestly not good. The food wasn't great at all, not even good. My food came out cold because the waitress was slow- on everything. The waitress looked like she was either hungover from the night before or she had been through a break up and crying in the bathroom all night- her face said it all. lol She barely checked up on us -my gf ordered a side of ranch with our orders, which the waitress didn't care to acknowledge. No napkins, a refill on coffee was 45 min later, and "boom", a check was placed on the table- as in go away. lol. She didn't even ask us if we wanted anything else. Sad to say, won't be back. read more

The Fontainbleau Diner - Bacon, mushroom, onion, and cheese omelette w/ fries - Diners Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

I recently wrote about the Asian Supermarket I've begun frequenting in Piscataway. One day while on the prowl for food in this area I came upon "The Fontainbleau" diner. Located in an intersection with stores including a Target and Harmon's, this place is definitely in a prime location. In Jersey, diners are a dime a dozen so trying out a new one is always a mixed bag. It could be a great experience, it could be wretched, rarely does it fall in the middle somewhere. I have to say this for The Fontainbleau, this place is *big*. Larger than any of the diners in my area around Elizabeth (though the Galaxy Diner might rival it), I was quite impressed by the amount of dining space. I noticed at the cashier/hostess area there was a HUGE plate of cookies for guests to have on their way out. Mints, I love. Cookies trump mints any day! This already brightened up my attitude. My girlfriend and I were seated in a booth in the corner, which I like since it gave me a nice view of the intersection and it meant I wasn't in a high traffic zone. The interior is blue, white and silver themed staying true to its name (as an aside, their take-out menu is also printed on blue paper). The staff was very fast and courteous. Our waitress appeared surprisingly fast to take our drink orders. As she went off to get coffee and water for us, I noticed the table already had an assortment of honey, jam and syrup at the table in small packets. This, I have to say, was new to me. Most diners will give such items to you once you order, but rarely is it just there to greet you at the table. Nice touch! I ordered spinach, feta and tomato omelet. When this thing came, let me tell you, I honestly didn't know if I could finish it. The thing was *huge*. It took up most of a fairly large plate, accompanied by whole wheat toast and home fries - all for less than $10, no seriously (I think it was about $8.95 or so, it's been a few weeks since I went). The omelet was large and delicious. The veggies tasted fresh and the home fries had that wonderful crisp layer on top with a soft layer underneath. Everything was wonderfully warm, clearly nothing sat waiting til it was brought to our table. The toast was nice and crispy as well. Simply put, it was a wonderful breakfast! The waitress came over and checked on us twice, just enough for us to feel cared about, but not so much that we couldn't have a good conversation. I dug my experience at this diner and I look forward to going back. Oh yes, the cookies on the way out were delish. ;) read more

NJ = Diners. Its just what we do. My friends and I have been Fountainbleu regulars for years. As a high school student, it didn't get any better, or cheaper, than here. A friend and I were here for breakfast and the check for two came out to $13. For prompt service and ridiculous sized portions, there is nothing to complain about! Chocolate chip pancakes and cinnamon french toast are good. I like their eggs, but not a fan of home fries. Rice pudding is yum, as well as chicken fingers. Pork roll is a NJ staple. Don't expect much from beverages since they're most likely canned/from a machine. As a general diner rule, the more expensive the item, the more likely you'll be dissapointed. This place runs fast and follows a quantity over quality meal, but I'm usually quite happy to attempt to finish my plate (and fail and get the takeout bag). Extra star for being open all the time and being nice people who give out free cookies :) read more

If you're concerned about the coronavirus don't come here the waitress wears her mask under her chin along with the hostess. I was going to complain to the hostess until I saw she wasn't wearing a mask either so you know what why waste my breath seems like no one takes it serious here for just a mediocre place it's not worth it read more

An affordable diner with a simple menu. This diner is exactly what you would expect. The food comes in a pretty decent portion. It is always filling, and they have a great variety of entrees to pick from. I usually order the corn beef hash and eggs, which is delicious. This trip we ordered a pastrami sandwich with home fries and golden French toast with a side of corn beef hash and eggs. The French toast was nice and crispy on the outside and tasted fresh. It is a hometown favorite and I would definitely come again for late night munchies. read more

They were open early on New Year's Day--Yay! Typical diner breakfast fare at the standard quality. We got eggs, home fries, bacon (turkey for me), and pancakes. Large portions and cheap prices. The place is clean, the staff was welcoming, and the coffee was actually better than I was expecting. I looked over and noticed they grind fresh beans. Nice. We left satisfied and happy. read more

The Fontainbleau Diner - Breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

I hit up the Fontainebleau over the weekend. I went with a few people for brunch. This place may have the same name as an over the top South Beach Miami hotel, this is just a typical NJ diner, right out of central casting. That does not mean it is bad thing. We got our laminated menus with dozens of options to order from and settled on omelets and coffee. I got cheese, tomatoes and spinach with potatoes and some toast. As an added bonus, since I ordered off the lunch menu, it came with a fruit salad as well. It was all decent food and the service was pretty good as well. This place is pretty cheap. The 4 of us stuffed ourselves for $35. read more

Chicken Fontainebleau a fabulous creation of breaded chicken, stuffing, cheese, warm cherries and sauce, over a bed of yellow rice. You need to request it as it's not on the menu (likely due the time and complexity to cook and assemble it). Worth the wait. read more

A decent alternative if you are in neighborhood, especially after or before going to the nearby movie theater. On the other hand, I wouldn't necessarily pass by other places to eat here. The menu is pretty sparse for a diner. On the other hand, they did a good job on my veggie wrap which happened to not be on the menu but our friendly and accommodating server cheerfully said that I could have. There $2 upcharge for sweet potato fries instead of french fries was higher than what I've paid elsewhere. The sweet potato fries were good. In fact, all the food was good. Again, my big negative was the size of the menu but I guess I've been spoiled by places like Edison Family, Edison Diner, and Le Peep. read more
