    Pastrami and disco fries
    Mel T.

    I always pass by this diner when I go to Shop Rite and have been meaning to check it out. My family and I (5 adults + 1 baby) came by on a Saturday at 8:30 in the morning. There were only a few other diners at the time but I'm sure it gets packed later on, as I'm sure everyone wants to sleep in on the weekends. I had the pastrami sandwich and upgraded to disco fries. It wasn't bad overall. Of course, it's not going to be the best pastrami sandwich, but it'll do in a pinch. I'd probably come back and check out some other menu items. The décor in the diner was very cute and had vintage vibes, but still felt clean and comfortable.

    Pineapple Pancakes

    I don't often go to diners - but this one was great. Fun interior decor with Elvis Presley pictures. You felt like you got transported back in time! The menu was large and had a little of everything. I ordered pineapple pancakes (never had before) and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed them. They were big and very filling. I ended up taking some home. Wasn't a huge fan of the coconut flakes, but still good. Staff was kind and helpful as well.

    The place was extremely cool, nostalgic and clean and in order. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to our needs. I ordered a basic hamburger and cheese fries with a side of coke. Kind of wish the cheese wasn't plopped onto the fries. Burger was good, fries were good but "cheese fries" it was not. I'll come back, they had a few sweet shakes I would like to try and other things on the menu.

    Salmon Benedict

    6/22/24 Friends from out of town came for a visit and they chose a hotel near the American Dream. We chose this diner as it was between us and their hotel. The decorations are so fun to look at! Like a 50's diner hehehe Salmon Benedict - was ok Eggs Benedict XVI - was ok Our friends had burgers which they loved. We were talking so I wasn't paying attention to the menu so I just order a standard diner item. Would like to try other items another time.

    Mixed Fruit Pancakes
    Laura L.

    Love the decor and vibes here! We ordered the mixed fruit pancakes and the western omelette. The mixed fruit pancakes came with 3 very large pancakes and a good amount of fruits. Portion size was very generous. The omelette came with toast and two hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were crispy and delicious. The toast was buttered perfectly. Staff was friendly and attentive. Solid diner spot. Would recommend!

    Terrific breakfast/lunch spot! Although they don't have the extensive menu of the typical NJ diner, there are plenty of choices and all are executed to perfection. Omelets and pancake portions are huge. Burgers are spot on, always cooked perfectly. The decor is 50's diner chic, very comfortable and inviting. Always a happy song playing to hum along to. Staff is friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit

    My kids and I went to check out the Wallington Diner for lunch on a hot Friday afternoon. I've been wanting to check out this place since they opened. I knew they had a fun 50's theme inside and they didn't disappoint. The bright colors, old timey bar with barstools, the jukebox, the cool mural on the back wall, and the signs make it so much fun to eat inside and just check everything out. My kids ordered off the kid menu (obviously). My daughter got the mozzarella sticks and my son ordered the hotdog and fries. I ordered the Vermont Omelette made with egg whites and with a side of tater tots and wheat toast. Our food came out pretty quickly and we all dug right in. My daughter enjoyed her mozzarella sticks a lot. My son was unfortunately not a fan of the hotdog but ate all the fries. I didn't really think the hotdog was that appealing either so I don't blame him. I did enjoy my meal though. The Vermont omelette had apples, sausage, and cheddar cheese in it and it was a pretty delicious meal. The omelette was pretty big and I couldn't finish the whole thing. The tater tots were good and my kids so kindly took some from me so I didn't eat them all. Our waitress was very friendly. At the end of our meal she brought our check and my daughter reminded me that the kids meals come with a jello or chocolate pudding. I waved down our waitress to ask for a jello for my daughter - they only had raspberry flavor but she liked it. I paid up front and when we were leaving my kids were handed a lollipop each and they were so very happy about that. Overall I had a good meal at the Wallington Diner. I would definitely like to return to try other options.

    Now they are staying open to serve dinner until 9! So excited as so many great places like this no longer exist! Stopped in for dinner tonight. The joint was jumping which we were happy to see. Specials looked great! We had had a long day at the lake so we're glad to just have someone else cook for us. My daughter had spaghetti from the kids menu. I had The Marilyn Monroe Sandwich which was a delicious hearty chicken parm sandwich with fries and coleslaw. I loved that the chicken was thin and crispy and the marinara didn't drown the sandwich! Enjoyed an extra side of marinara to dip the sandwich in as needed. The fries were crisp and hot. And as usual the wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Loving this place more each time we go!

    For the hungry one I do recommend the meat lover breakfast. Super good
    Andy F.

    For the hungry man I do recommend the waffles, and the meat lovers plate. The service was fenomenal and great place to listen oldies from 1950-1960's.

    Two visits (spaced a few years apart) - first time was dining in, second was to-go - and both were…read moremost excellent. The place is narrow (I missed it both times I came here) but it's got a look and vibe happening... music cranking, album covers splattered all over the place. The menu is narrow (burgers and chicken and shakes) and they know what the heck they're doing... chicken is juicy and delicious, burgers are smashed and crispy and packed with flavor. (The shakes look amazing, but that's not my thing.) The staff - could not be any cooler. Pricing and portions - all more than fair. Parking - not that fair. If they were a wee bit closer to where I live I'm sure we'd frequent them way more often. (Just don't rat me out to my cardiologist who would not approve, I'm sure.)

    Ordered delivery via GrubHub one Friday afternoon. We had the Jam Burger (house-made smoked bacon…read morejam spread, caramelized onions , and jalapeño cheese popper) and the Bodega Burger (fried egg, sweet plantain , melted Jack Cheese, house-made garlic sauce, and crunchy red cabbage). The burgers were good but kind of pricey for what it was, especially since they were kind of small. It came out to almost $25 for the two burgers, and that doesn't even include fries. But it could also be because prices are usually jacked up in delivery apps. If that is the case, I wouldn't mind going in person and trying another burger hot off the grill, next time with some fries.
