PhroogalAugust 4, 2013Our favorite diner in the area. Affordable and delicious food. Not your typical diner experience. Try the Combo Platter, a mixture of deep-fried deliciousness (wings, chicken fingers, cheese sticks)
RobertoOctober 19, 2013Try the buffalo wing platter, they are crispy not slimy. They cost almost the same as the regular wing appetizer, but it comes with some slamming crispy fries.
Nathan RiveraJanuary 11, 2016I loved the Belgian waffles and ice cream. And the staff is very friendly.
William AlonzoMarch 6, 2015Excellent!!! Only place in union open 24hr, always!!! Breakfast at 3am, it was plenty for the price and delicious.
Their absolut chicken is the best penne a la vodka around town and comes in a humongous serving!
JamieJune 14, 2016Service was ok, they hover. Not sure if they want to be a Mexican, Greek, or Mediterranean theme. Had the buffalo wrap, good but needs extra sauce. Bonus- fun smiley face kids fries.
Artem AltmanSeptember 6, 2014Took 10 minutes for the waitress to take the order. Had to be reminded about bringing out coleslaw and pickles, as well as napkins.Skirt Steak Sandwich was good. Wish there was more meat though.
Joe DorvalMarch 29, 2012Best place for food and sometimes you get a little entertainment as well..Lol. Everyone here is GREAT!
Beth SchoenknechtJuly 23, 2012Soup sizes are good to remember. Cup=bowl. Bowl=really big bowl!! Great amount for the price!- Amazing Cuban Panini & mashed potatoes! Oh & realllly amazing strawberry smoothie! Enjoy :)
- AmericanShave ClassicbarberMay 1, 2011Great diner if not the best! We at American Shave live it here. Great salads and the churasco is the best!
Joby DobyOctober 26, 2015I had a medium rare steak well done what the fuck so I ended up giving it to a bum outside it's doors
Love this place, filled with characters and good food.
Awesome Chicken Quesadillas, Ask for extra salsa and don't forget your Kean University ID for a 10% Discount!
Krystal VargasDecember 16, 2017I am very disappointed with this place. I payed almost $22 for this food and I added avocado and this is what I got.
Rhonald FloresApril 22, 2012Feelin meaty? Colombianisimo and churasco are staples. Drench them in the green sauce!
The appetizer combo is by far the best deal since like 95.
Lauren LevSeptember 23, 2010The deserts are not all that. If you want a sweet treat condor a waffle or a smoothies. They are really good here.
Be very specific with how you want your eggs. Also, if you're thirsty go for the large beverage. The medium is more like a small.
- The pancakes are so large go for the short stack & save .50
