Victoria Diner - Scrambled eggs, bacon, and homemade french fries with rye toast - Diners Near Me - Branchville, New Jersey

Original, old school, diner car style diner. It's a little bit of a dive. That actually gets bonus points from me. Pretty clean overall. Very friendly mature waitresses. I ordered my standard breakfast fare. A Florentine omelette. It was better than I expected. The Victoria uses an unconventional preparation. Instead of using fresh chopped spinach as most other diners do they use sautéed spinach which gave the omelette a softer flavor and texture. Interesting. All in all, not a bad diner. Not worth a long trip. But if you are in the area I'm sure you could do worse. read more

I have passed by this diner numerous times and finally stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. I am glad I did stop by. The place has a vintage diner vibe from the outside and in. Luckily it wasn't too busy and was seated promptly. I got my go to, two eggs over-easy, bacon, home fries and rye toast with coffee. The bacon was crispy and eggs cooked perfect. Also got the biscuits with sausage gravy (half serving) and tater tots, which was so good! Server refilled my coffee numerous times. Food and service was great and will be back again for sure. I would highly recommend this spot if you want that NJ diner experience and really good food. * Parking lot on premise read more

The food and service are both great. Usually go for breakfast, but I've been there for lunch. Definitely try their soups. It's very nostalgic. The diner has a very homey feel to it, is the kind of place where everybody knows your name. Warm and friendly. read more

Old school dinner. Very friendly service. All food fresh and made inhouse. Ordered cheeseburger was a real burger handmade with fresh chop meat .Not a frozen patty. Excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Looks like a old hole in the wall from the outside but inside looks like the 1950s . Worth the visit. read more

Charming retro diner, green vinyl and chrome stools, great tile floors. My omelet, french fries(looked homemade with some skin on, really good) and toast were good. Side of fresh fruit was strawberries,blueberries + banana, fresh and excellent. Decaf coffee was stale and weak. Service not great, neither coffee nor water refill offered, I had to finally ask. Waitress never asked how meal was or if I needed anything. She was very attentive and friendly to the other 4 patrons who came in while I was there, clearly she knew them and that's lovely to know your customers, but don't ignore strangers at the same time. I sat and waited for take out box and check while she served 2 other tables of "regulars". Booth fabrics really need a good cleaning, lotsa stains on the seat backs and chrome on counter stools is rusty. $23.30, before gratuity, for omelet, fries, toast, side fruit and coffee, so a little pricey. This beautiful old silver/tile vintage vibe diner could be great with some cleaning and friendliness towards non-regular customers. read more

We Never got to try their food Waited at their hostess counter for over 10 minutes without being acknowledged and went to the other diner down the road The other one had such a great atmosphere too read more

Kitschy retro dinner with good breakfast menu. Service was good especially since this is a small space, so very easy to get the attention of the wait staff. We had the stuffed French toast. Delicious! read more

Victoria Diner - Stuffed French toast! - Diners Near Me - Branchville, New Jersey

The definition of a real jersey diner! Homemade French fries and everything made to order. I can't believe inflation didn't hit this place either. I grew up going to culver lake and this place is exactly the same as it was back then. Simple is what makes this place awesome. read more

I loved this spot! The food was spot on, prepared fresh and yummy. The service was polite, personable and prompt. The ambiance was old-school feel which was really fun for my kids. Will be back if we're ever passing through again. read more

Sandwich was ok, fries were limp. Ketchup bottle flip top was caked with old ketchup. A jacket was lying on the waitress work counter. No bus boy to remove plates from the counter. Place looked tired. Photos and documents in picture frames have slid down and are left sitting at angles to the frames. Waitress overworked... She was the only employee that I saw on the work floor during my visit. Her attitude was great and the establishment is lucky to have her. Her duties included: Greeter Waitress Bus Girl Cashier Sad to see customers waiting while she stacked clean coffee cups from a tray that she carried from the kitchen. One and done for me...

This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely amazing! For such a small spot this place packs a punch. They really don't make diners like this anymore. So homey and friendly. It was packed and it took a while for the server to get to us but I wasn't bother by this whatsoever. The reason why I was let bother was she acknowledged us right away and profusely apologized for being the only server running around. Again the place was small but it was still super busy and I was impressed with how she handled everything. One we got our orders in it didn't take long for the breakfast to arrive. And arrive it did! We did not expect the portions we received. That with the quality of food, made us so happy that we were passing through and stumbled upon this place. read more

Nice little diner with friendly staff and good food. Great for breakfast, amazing waffles

Every thing is fresh and cook to order! Had a chicken salad sandwich and was made fresh! Also had their fresh cut French fries. These are excellent! Service was also fantastic! Can't say enough about this little diner. read more

On my way to Stokes State Forest for my spring water, I noticed a sign outside this old train car diner, that read: Championship Barbeque- which I didn't realize at the time was an indicator that the man in a kitchen was a BBQ wizard! Its an old converted train car from the early 1900s that was initially the Wayside diner in Wayne N.J. until 1958 when it was moved to this spot. Chef Joe and waitress Cookie are your Hosts, and boy are you in for a treat. As I chatted with Cookie about the previous life of the diner as a train and its former home in Wayne, the aroma of fresh barbecue brisket and pulled pork is driving my taste buds wild! When Cookie set the plate down, I was floored. I have had what is some pretty damn good BBQ, but I was unprepared for what magnificence was set before me. If BBQ talents would elevate one's status in life- Joe the BBQ master would be a god. The brisket was so delicious, I dare not trim the fat off it- even the fat had a flavor that was too good to discard- fork tender, juicy, smoky; the pulled pork was out of this world. This can't be New Jersey- really...did my GPS send me south of the Mason Dixon line? As if that wasn't enough, the beans were also the best beans I had ever had- home made, intricately seasoned, sublimely smoked, deep with flavor of molasses, pork maybe? I can't even tell- I dont have the gall as a mortal to try and figure out what Chef Joe did, all I could do while eating was moan to myself...mmmm..oh man....mmmm... damn.... The hand cut skin on fries were also top notch- worth the carbs; it was also served with some great home made cole slaw. This combo plate came in just over 10 bucks, and guaranteed that I will be driving to Stokes even in the wnter to bottle my own spring water if it means a BBQ combo plate at Victorias' Diner- what a find. Don't you dare miss this!! Heres my entry for the Stokes Forest Spring: http://www.yelp.com/biz/stokes-forest-natural-spring-sandyston#hrid:rgZucPjeBVHgctWzmudGhg/src:self read more

Super solid food for a good price. I love biscuits and gravy and this is the best spot for the dish. The decor leaves much to be desired but food comes first read more

Good food, reasonable price. Prompt service with a smile. Family style diner. Vintage decor.

Victoria Diner - Jersey burger and stuffed French toast! - Diners Near Me - Branchville, New Jersey

Must be closed due to COVID. Tried it today was supposed to be open but was not! Disappointed!

This was about 2 years back... but it left a strong impression. Walked in with family for a nice breakfast. Stood near the front for a bit waiting to be acknowledged and someone to say "we'll be right with you" or something basically courteous. No such greeting occurred and after several awkward minutes standing there, the feeling that I'm not welcome crept into my mind. So I left. Without incident. Friends and neighbors all tell me the place is great. First impressions last. read more

Old world Dinner with great breakfast staples. Vintage seating and counter. Servers are great and friendly. Not much to look at from the outside just an old semi shiny diner. Visit and enjoy the old days. read more

Love coming here. Especially when they have liver on the menu. Great place good food. We be back often

Fantastic little country-ish diner with friendly staff and honest tasty food including very respectable barbeque if you're lucky to be here when it's ready. Have some understanding...if you know anything about barbeque, you know barbeque takes time. Lots of time. The fact that someone at a little local diner is even attempting to provide real bbq, made over wood, on any sort of a steady basis...on top of running the diner...is amazing. It's also very reasonably priced. Real bbq is expensive and it is very reasonably priced here. If the bbq portion of the menu is not available or ready when you roll through here once a year on a family pumpkin picking mission, try to understand before you throw a tantrum and leave a bad review. The people that come here don't care about your review anyhow. This is not a huge, 24-7, fully staffed, NJ highway diner...and thank God for that. There are plenty of those places. These kind of places are rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and if you don't care about that, then keep rolling right on by and go somewhere else. I love this place. We love this place. Long may it last. read more

Who wrote all these positive reviews? If you are a foodie or love good food, stay away. Barbecue in a diner? Sounds unlikely, but with all the glowing reviews, I thought what the hell. Well, don't. Don't even think of trying this place. Drive by and don't look back. I ordered a platter, but received a platter sandwich. Nevertheless, I have not finished the meager amount of meat that was served,-- no flavor, cheapest pork. The beans were disgusting. This is probably the first time ever when I have not eaten the beans. My wife ordered fried chicken,-- the same. The only thing you can taste is sugar. No salt, no pepper, no spice. Why is there sugar in the batter in the first place? The quality of protein was the cheapest, you still see unplucked feathers sticking through the batter. The only neutral food were the fries. Not seasoned, but definitely OK. Same goes for cole slaw,-- nothing to write home about, but eatable. The service was good, but this review is all about the food. read more

Excellent... we had the BBQ pulled pork and the brisket sandwiches. so good and lean. all the sides from fresh cut french fries to tatter tots to onion rings were crisp and delicious. read more

Breakfast is very good. Cool old school diner. Always packed with locals and people just up hiking and sightseeing

I was lost in the middle of nowhere, driving to a town I have never heard of before for my son's basketball game. We needed to eat quickly before the game so I googled diners nearby and luckily was only a few miles away from the Victoria diner. The place was small and cozy, very old-school like a diner from the 50s small countertop with some stools, and a few booths Close together. I was very apprehensive about trying this food, but The menu was pretty impressive, very extensive with choices that you can find at any diner and really good prices ! I was able to get healthy options, And order an egg white omelette, and I have to say it was pretty good! The veggies were fresh and the side of steamed broccoli I ordered from my son was probably the tastiest broccoli I've ever had! The waitress was prompt and attentive to all of our dietary needs and everything came out perfectly. Well done VICTORIA diner , For a place I consider being in the middle of nowhere, I must say I was pretty impressed. They even have nice dinner selections on the back like chicken francaise which I would love to try next time read more

Great pulled pork and baked beans. The service we great and the place is just like being in a old fashion diner. Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for good barbecue. Or sandwiches too. read more

The waiter was very nice and the food was really good. Prices are reasonable as well. Great place to grab a bite!

Late night dinner with 4 kids. Was empty, but they turned out a fast, full serving with good service. Thanks Yelp for helping find this one!

Date of visit: July 2015 Atmosphere: Simple, casual, cute. Food: Not as good as I had hoped based on other reviews, but good enough that I plan on giving it a second chance. We went for dinner and ordered a brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. The pulled pork was pretty good and the brisket meat was nice and tender. The problem was that the brisket had A LOT of fat on it and the outside was charred leaving a burnt taste in my mouth. I had to disassemble the sandwich to remove the fat so I could eat it. The coleslaw, fries and baked beans were above average for the area, but still not anywhere as good as BBQ joints in the South. Service: Typical Jersey diner service with a little bit of a more hometown sweet feel (no idea if that makes sense, but the only way I can think to describe it). Final thought: The table next to us ordered breakfast items for dinner & it smelled delicious. Next visit- Breakfast time! read more

One of not the best coffee in Sussex County. The food is great. The service is pretty good too. The only downfall is the size of the place. The parking lot is huge but inside is kind of small. If there is await. Trust me it's worth it! read more

Ate several times since my last review. Things have gone down hill a bit. Food is basic and good.

I've only been here once or twice, but on both visits, the breakfast food was excellent. It is conveniently located on the way to Stokes Forest, a plus. While I've never tried their BBQ, it's an interesting phenomenon that they have a person outside (beside the parking lot) slow-cooking away. My complaints would be that the diner is very small inside without much seating - tough to get a non-counter booth seat. The bathroom also appears as though it hasn't been renovated for 50 years and was a touch on the unsightly side. As I continue to patron this establishment, I will update my review, but for now, 3 stars is as high as I can go given the other factors. read more

This is one of the best dinners! All the stuff is really good the eggs the potatoes are excellent. Also the barbecue that they cook outside in a smoker is actually incredible.One of the best brisket sandwiches I have ever had. I do that say that lately. The portions are big and plentiful. The staff is really nice. It's really a great spot! The price is right as well read more

Headed up to Branchville to hike & check out where my mother grew up. Stopped at Victoria Diner for a late lunch, and it was a wonderful experience. The establishment is a sweet little country diner & our waitress was great! She was extremely friendly & had us laughing the majority of the time. Both of my parents ordered the Beef Goulash and they both enjoyed it very much. The fries are fresh cut and quite yummy with a side of gravy! Next time we're in town, we'll be stopping by for sure! read more

When I'm in the area I come here for breakfast. The food is good and the service is friendly and fast. I've only ever had the breakfast dishes which were great. I want to come back for their barbeque. The place has a nice old time feel about it. It's a really small diner, think train cart. Definitely recommend. read more
