I always love a diner, and New Jersey is pretty much the only place that has them. (Iykyk.) This is our first time here, but I’m very impressed. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana sandwich, and it was not only great but too big to finish—and I’m a big guy. The attached photo is the leftovers. While you’re down the shore, check it out. You won’t be sorry!

We came all the way from North Jersey, Wayne as a family to try these flavors, and honestly, everything was amazing. They truly know what they’re doing. Every single item was delicious and high quality. Their customer service was also excellent. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Impromptu stop since we heard about this place as a staple amongst Toms River family who grew up there. The diner has been remodeled, so it has modern furniture and window treatments. With a bit more decor and lighting, the atmosphere could become even warmer and inviting. Excellent service and food. We shared an order of disco fries, then 2 entrees - hubs had meatball parm and I had the patty melt (pic below). They give you soup, coleslaw and fries w the meals. (We subbed veg). Tons of food for a very reasonable price. We would be regulars if we lived closer. Will def be back!

My husband and I are from out of state, but have been coming to the Jersey Shore since 2018. Everytime we come we always eat here for breakfast. The staff is always so polite and friendly and the food is always consistently delicious and a great price. We haven't been in a few years, so we had no idea they have a brand new building. It's absolutely beautiful, inside and out. 💜You HAVE to come here. This place is such a staple to the community and we can't wait to come back next time we're in town.🥰
