Pattie Melt
Philip H.

Small old school diner updated just enough to keep it current. Spotless. Amazing service! Truly the best service we have ever received from a diner. We were there on a Saturday afternoon at lunch and it was a full house. How ever hard I tried my coffee cup never made it to empty without being refilled. The food was excellent as well. I order the same breakfast every time I go to any diner. A spinach and feta omelette. Some diners call it Florentine. Some call it a Greek. The preparation was perfect. Firm, no burn spots, super fresh spinach and just the right amount of feta. The home fries were on point as well. My wife ordered the patty melt which she said was superb. Again, perfectly prepared. The fries were terrific as well. The Whippany Diner was in our regular rotation for many years and then we stopped going altogether. I have no idea why but we will certainly return again soon. A top notch diner for sure. Give it a go!

Stopped by on a weekday for a late lunch after work. It is pretty standard as far as diner food. I was seated immediately. I got my meal pretty quickly after giving my order. My server was really nice. After you're done, you're given your receipt and you pay at the counter by the entrance. There is plenty of parking. It's easy to get back on route 10 going east or west as well which is convenient.

Typical diner with fast service and familiar food choices. The patty melt was delicious. The Cuban panini was very good. They serve Pepsi and not Coke but don't disclose that when you order.

Came here twice during 4th of July weekend and ordered the Eggs Benedict two days in a row. The first day, the Benny's were cooked and on the second day those Benny's were oozing out once that fork cut through the middle. Changed our order from hash potatoes to French fries since were saw them on someone else's plate. My friend had the pancakes and they were fluffy. Next day, he had the egg white omelette and was please with his meal. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating with menu changes. Owner of restaurant engaged in conversation as she walked by. As you walk into the Whippany Diner it's a very homey feel. Locals dine here. I use to come here to dine when we have to come up for corporate meeting and one of the favorite places was to meet up at Whippany Diner. Will be back next time in the neighborhood.

The food was ok, and we were promptly seated upon arrival. Our initial service was quick, and the food arrived in a reasonable time frame. However, as the restaurant became busier, I noticed that the owner, who initially welcomed us warmly, kept looking over at our table repeatedly. Towards the end of our meal, we wanted to order some more coffee, but it seemed to slip the hostess's mind. When we requested a warm-up, another waiter came cleared our plates prematurely, asking for coffee was a communication issue and when we asked for coffee the waiter look at us confused. The rushed service made us feel uncomfortable, even though our dining time was relatively short, around 35-40 minutes and that includes waiting for food. While the food and initial service were good, the constant attention from the owner and the rush to clear our table left a less-than-ideal impression. It's unfortunate because we would have liked to enjoy our coffee and stay a bit longer. This experience may make us hesitate to return when we come back to this area for a visit.

On the way in, I asked if they have breakfast specials. The answer was, "yes." The check for eggs, meat & coffee came to $14.95 on a weekday morning. I told owner, "Jimmy," that a diner up the street in Livingston does the same for $7.95 including meat. "I don't believe it." "No, it's true," I advised. Jimmy, the "Master of Customer Service," told me in a nasty voice that it's impossible and he doesn't believe me. Say what? The breakfast was fine and the server very nice. She received a 25% gratuity, but old Jimmy won't see me again for sure. To offer full disclosure, I advised James to take a customer service course. This is my first negative review ever, as I don't believe in potentially affecting someone's business. But this guy is very special.

Our meal tonight!

There are very few places left in the world where you can smoke cigars indoors while eating lunch…read more The food here is very mediocre ... and expensive! You do get a free cigar (which is actually a pretty nice, brand name stick in most cases) with your meal, which I am sure goes with the cost. Before the world went utterly insane with inflation ... It used to be one of the best deals ever. The food was $12.95 plus the free cigar! Now, it's more like $23 per sandwich. Owch. The best value was the cheese plate, which at $15 was huge and included fruit. Now, that cheese platter is actually smaller than it used to be and costs $44! The decor is pretty cool ... dark and moody ... but there are a couple TVs with sports playing and high ceilings. The air purification makes it smell a lot less like cigar smoke than it used to ... but know that whatever clothes you wear here will likely need a dry cleaning after. The waitresses have been here forever ... and there are a lot of regulars. Imagine what a guy would look like that would want to smoke a cigar while eating and that's exactly what you will find here as a customer. Fake Sopramos accent ... beefy ... loud ... gold chain ... It's a 'bro crowd' for sure with some flashy investment banker types mixed in. Lots of Hummers and G-Wagons in the parking lot. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves cigars. The food is edible and in some cases even good. But nothing amazing. I've had the corned beef sandwich ... don't expect NYC deli quality ... the flatbread (Trader Joe's is just as good) ... and the Cuban sandwich. All okay. The Cuban left me hungry. You can also eat at the bar and peruse their extensive whiskey and beer menu. The drinks are pricey, so a sandwich, a beer ... and I guess you could count the free cigar ... come to around $40, after tip.

This is my spot! The staff is very friendly and professional and on hand to answer and questions. I…read moreusually come here to stock up since it's a little bit of a travel. Once I stock up and quality cigars I always sit down in the lounge area and smoke one with a cup of coffee. The service in the lounge is great. The place is clean and the music is great. They have five flat screen televisions and plenty of seating. There is also another room. The restrooms are clean and there is plenty of parking. If you have not checked out this place yet, you really should.

Overall: I was really surprised with how good this hotel restaurant was, usually not someone who…read moresteps into one of these, but this place has definitely changed my mind. Food: The portion sizes here are very generous, I kind of regretted ordering an appetizer after seeing how large the pot pie was. On the flip side, the food was great so I ate the entire thing. Great food and enough to have your fill and bring some back home for leftovers. Service: The service was standard, slightly longer wait time but that may have been due to an event happening at the same time. Ambiance: Very well-decorated interior. You can read up on it on the menu, almost all elements inside have some kind of history to it. Sections are spaced apart well, so you can enjoy your meal while kind of being away from the bar areas.

For a hotel lobby restaurant, it wasn't too bad. The atmosphere allows you escape from the generic…read morehotel lobby and enter a traditional pub feel. The staff was fantastic and they knew so many people by first name since there's a lot of hotel guests here each night. For my dinner, I went with the fish and chips, and I enjoyed it. The food arrived incredibly fast and it was all correct. The portions were pretty good for the price, but this is New Jersey and in a hotel. The coleslaw was the only thing I didn't really enjoy from my dinner. Overall, cool Irish pub vibe inside the Hanover Marriott. Great staff and above average hotel food.

Plus add LavAzza Coffee to the mix and We'll "officially" be friends for life, Lol. Seriously though Cafe Z is one of the Coolest Brunch Spots around. Everything off this Italian Inspired Menu looks interesting and incredibly delicious. Example: for Breakfast I've tried their "Muffin" Sandwich which comes loaded with Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, Pepper Jack Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and Chipotle Aioli on a massive Toasted English Muffin and It doesn't get any better than that = Out'Freakin'Standing !! Baked Goods here too are also worth checking out and obviously go hand in hand with any of their delicious house made Beverages. It is "Summertime Yummertime" so I do enjoy Shaking Hands with an Iced Coffee now and then while I'm hanging out so why not make it LavAzza for the WiN??  Rhetorical of course. I usually don't offer an opinion on "ambiance" or "atmosphere" most of the time as I'm really just focused on the final product and how I can shove it in My Face, but since we're friends I can honestly say that this place does have a really cool vibe to it. Every picture tells a story don't it? And they do have alot to look at up in here. Plus You can add Fast Friendly Service and Extra Parking in the back lot for an easy Five Star experience each and every time. Hey My ice is starting to melt so the rest You can figure out on Your own. . . Come And Get Your Brunch Munch On !!
