    The family loved this place! Country fried steak and the has browns were sooooo good!
    Edward H.

    Service extremely great, food extraordinary, I loved the retro themed restaurant, severs were great don't eat the hash browns unless you're ready to taste something extremely tasty . Give Linda and Mary a raise.

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Mozzy sticks!

    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.

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

    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.

    Easily a place you can drive right past, and I know, because I have, numerous times…read more Finally stopped and was very happy I did. The place is very small so you may end up eating outside or in your car, but its fine. The Steve's special is what was recommended since I was a first timer and it was perfect with the special sauce. Have to get back there to sample the rest and I hope to soon. Staff was friendly and patient, parking is a bit tough but try the back street

    Steve's Burgers 506 Route 46 West…read moreGarfield, NJ 07026 Steve's Burger This locally owned burger stand your typical home in the wall. The limited sized parking lot is unpaved and not kept well. Indoor seating is tight. A single restroom is available, but it is located outside the restaurant (no worries, it is not a porta-potty). None of these characteristics about the restaurant matter because this is literally one of the best burgers I ever tasted. Named after the restaurant, this specialty gourmet burger was piled high and deep with cheese, bacon, a couple onion rings, and Steve's special sauce. The patty was juicy and the toppings really enhanced the flavor. The culmination of all the trimmings made the burger messy (which is a good problem) so be sure to have napkins handy. After I order arrived, I found out there is a combo special which includes fries and a drink. This is something that I will keep in mind for next time because it is financially a better deal. This location only accepts cash, so please plan accordingly. #stevesburgers #stevesburger #garfieldnj

    Great spot ! Don't sleep on it Service by Siobhan 5 stars…read more Excellent food and solid spirit/beer selection

    I was excited to check out this local sports bar in Lodi after seeing all of the positive reviews…read more Honestly, it was a little underwhelming for me. Maybe I just ordered the "wrong things". Either way, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I visited on a late Saturday night. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance can be tricky to find... It's located in the back on the left-hand side. The exterior and interior are both pretty dark, dull, and dingy. It's not the most inviting atmosphere at first. It has a divey, industrial, and rustic vibe to it, but hey... sometimes the best food comes from places that don't look like much. So I try not to judge. It wasn't too busy, and the service was attentive. The menu has your classic American comfort food - wings, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They switch it up with daily specials like skirt steak, chicken parm, and pasta. They have a full bar with cocktails, drafts, bottled beers, can ciders, and wines. You can even do a four-beer flight and make it a tasting experience! I ordered: *Dark & Stormy Cocktail [Goslings Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice] ($14) - Not the best one I've had, but it was solid. If you like ginger and rum, this is a must try. The dark rum has hints of caramel which works really well with the spicy ginger beer. The lime juice adds a citrus kick, so it's a really refreshing drink. *Margarita ($18) - As a tequila girly, I've had my fair share of margaritas. This one didn't do it for me. It was a little too sour/tart, which overpowered everything else. *Cubano Sandwich [includes roast pork, black forest ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard with side of fries] ($16) - I wasn't expecting an authentic Cubano from an American sports bar, so my expectations weren't super high. This was good, but not great. The pork was flavorful, but could've been more tender. I wish there were more pickles and mayo for that extra tangy crunch. The bread was pressed a little too hard, so it was a bit tough to bite through. *Double Blackened Chicken Breast Sandwich [includes pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, red peppers, and red onion on brioche with side of fries] ($18) - This was huge and filling! They did not skimp out on the protein. The brioche bun was soft and buttery. The chicken was well seasoned - smoky and savory with crispy charred edges. BUT... to my disappointment, the inside was dry and not juicy at all. Another small issue was the ratio - There was so much chicken compared to the rest of the toppings, so it wasn't the most cohesive sandwich. It really needed more cheese and chipotle mayo to tie all the flavors together. The fries were the best part - thick, crispy, and golden! It's decent bar food, just not the best I've had. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great or memorable. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate that their food is served piping hot and fresh. To be fair, this is probably the perfect spot for beer lovers. I happen to not be one, lol. The burger options sound popular and promising too. I'd consider giving them another shot for Happy Hour or to try a burger, but it's not at the top of my list. Just because it's not the sports bar for me, doesn't mean it won't be the one for you.
