GREAT little diner with friendly staff, fair prices and good food. Clean, well maintained, classic Jersey Diner experience. Busy place, popular with locals, always a good sign. Parking lot is a little small. Easy to get to, very close to Liberty State Park. One of the more solid diners I’ve visited here in my home state. Recommended!
My needs are simple and few when it comes to diner dining. Food should be basic and in abundant quantities. Turkey should be OTB ( off the bone), not from a loaf. Potatoes- in whatever form- must be super crispy. Coffee, hot and fresh. And of course, there must be rice pudding. And so, when we happened upon this diner right near Liberty State Park and just a few minutes away from the Liberty Science Center, we were delighted. Breakfast is stellar: no chichis, no fancy airs- just good, simple food at great prices. The western omelette pictured had a ton of lean ham in it, and the diced onions and green peppers were still a little crispy- not all limp and over cooked as in most diner offerings. I love skimming my fork over the crunchy tops of the griddle fried potatoes and savoring those bits. The club sandwich is spectacular: fresh roast turkey breast, thick slices of meaty bacon, an abundance of fresh lettuce and tomato on white toast. Do yourself a favor and come to the Jersey shoreline and eat here. You will not regret it.
Liberty diner is a classic, small format, family diner. Youll see the church groups, softball teams, and locals all enjoying their generous menu - mine is their Pastrami Rubin with steak cut fries. Its off the beaten track in a slightly industrial area, but also perfectly situated next to liberty state park. My wife and I love to swing by and grab a car picnic on a cold winter afternoon, drive to the park and watch the boats. And my respect to the wait staff and owner. You all do a wonderful job.
Always good food and lots of it and often enough to take home. Real good prices and service! Great owners! Have known them over 30 years since they had Rascal House in Bayonne! The windows are all painted for Halloween and fall ! Worth the trip. We always use the back highway to avoid the turnpike.😊
They are going to shut it down for good...this Sunday is the last day... Im gonna miss this place.... Thank you to all the servers, you guys did a very very good job, I wont forget....
The food was delicious... Great people skills even during a pandemic. Will be adding it to my if Im in the area again list... easily one of my top 5 Burgers.
Typical NJ diner. Get you in and out quick.. Food was fair. A little dirty. Prices were good for what you get. Service was great- very nice waitress. Party of 6 got breakfast all was good..nothing to wow ya but this is the only thing in the area.
A cute diner where everyone is super friendly. Food is good. Looks like nothing from outside but its actually a great spot!
Great find on way to the liberty science musuem. Servers and owner were extremely friendly on busy Sunday morning, and service was quick. Food was tasty and good portion size for fair price. Great place for breakfast.
Awesome Place!! It was very busy when we got here but they still found us a table very quickly. Super friendly staff, our waitress was incredible and the whole team really worked well together clearing plates / refilling drinks. Very impressive considering how packed they were. Food was fantastic as well. Highly recommend.
Love this diner! There quick, efficient, and the food is always hot and delicious! Definitely one of my go to diners around jersey city. Staff is friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!
This diner is so good! They serve breakfast all day, have fast, courteous service and are reasonably priced. The menu is huge, i challenge you to not find something to eat here. Its a really fun place too. The decor is very Liberty oriented with a small scale version of the lady in the house. This is a great photo opportunity and if not too busy, the staff will gladly help you take a family photo! Cant wait to visit again!
Kind of a dump. Had an urge to vomit after eating my omelet. My son was smarter than I as he chose not to eat any more than a quarter of his food. Provides refills for soft drinks but then charges you for each drink without telling you until you get your check. If you are visiting the park, this is not the place to go. This is more of an older restaurant that is meant for locals. On the plus side, the waitress was nice. She was the highlight of the visit. I would not return here.
This place is awesome, food is always hot and delicious. Staff is very friendly, i have been dining at this restaurant for over 10yrs and they never disappoint.
Worst diner Ive ever been to. service was horrible and the owner literally berated his servers in front of us for being terrible. the one server messed up our order and we had to send it back. the second plate that came out was worse than the first. i wouldve sent it back again but i honestly just gave up. in the end, the owner insulted me as i was about to pay and made me truly regret ever setting foot in that place. it was my first and last time there. also, be wary of the menu. prices are not clear and you will not be happy when you see the bill.
People dont let the pictures of the diner and food fool you. This place is really small and old and outdated. We went there to try it out today . 1 employee working there, he did the phone, clean the tables, served and the cash register. The California burger deluxe was horrible. The burger was smaller than the bun, tomatoes was mushy, the coleslaw was green looking, the pickle was pale and looked sick. Dont wast your time coming here.
An amazing place with amazingly tasty food. They serve the food in a very creative manner and treat you in a very good way. The place is worth a visit.
Not fancy but good service and solid food. Gyro omelet and Greek omelet were excellent. Interior could use a remodel. I will definitely return when I am in the area. Enjoyed breakfast very much.
This place was an unexpected gem to run into.By the decor and general atmosphere we didnt expect much.The food arrived rather quickly and looked amazing. The taste was great!
The burger was one of the best Ive ever had. I ordered a medium and it came out juicy, thick, and flavorful. The parking was free and the service was on point. Got food within minutes. Would return every time.
The staff is friendly and the service is quick. There are a lot of people, especially at the weekend, but I did not have to wait for my order for long. Great service.
This place will never disappoint you. The food is really tasty and the place is extremely hygienic. The staff is amazingly helpful and cooperative.This gives an absolutely amazing vibe to the place.
Liberty Park Cafe Diner: Service was fantastic. Dinner was delicious. Had children and they were treated kindly. We had a party of 10. Our waitresses were Andrea and Tara. surprisingly a mothers and daughter team. If you find yourself down Liberty State Park and need a bite to eat, stop in. You wont be disappointed!
Have been to the liberty Park diner once before but this time was fantastic! We had great service and Im not sure if it was the owner or not but the lady that was there took great care of us and showed a lot of interest into our autistic son. She colored with him and talk with him in a way he could understand. I hope that the same people are there next time when we come back.
A little out of the way but very convenient if youre spending time at Liberty State Park. The food was very good. Service was prompt & friendly. Although the diner itself is dated. It was spacious and clean.
Great place, tasty diner food. Wonderful service with a comfortable homey feel. The waitresses are full of personality. Check it out, its fun.
Food was great and the prices super reasonable...just wish the tables were a bit larger. They definitely try to maximize the space here. The diner got very busy and the staff was very good at busing the tables and getting people seated as efficiently as possible.
My family and I just love this place. We have moved out of town but we dont mind taking the trip just to have breakfast here. The owners are awesome people! Highly recommended! ~ The Morales Family 😀
Friendly staff. Great service. Food quality is lacking and the flavors weird. Hot turkey dinner: turkey tasted watered down, beef gravy not turkey gravy; mashed potatoes tasted lemony and stuffing was overly seasoned. Corned beef and cabbage was blanched, no flavor at all.
We stumbled into this out-of-the-way after a trip to the park with our baby. It was hoppin on a Saturday morning. Good food, friendly service, quaint, it has a kind of cozy community feeling, like most of the people there are regulars.
I cant speak for the breakfast food- I didnt have any, as Im not a big fan of breakfast food. The lunch was standard diner food. Like, really standard. Slightly overpriced. The iced tea was pretty good though!
Hidden gem in Liberty State Park, family owned and run, classic diner food with some Greek dishes.
Great staff and service. Good prices and quantity. Coffee refills were pretty timely and the pancakes, sausages and waffles were cooked perfectly.
Needs a bit of updating. Food was standard and the host was welcoming. I watched the server go back and forth smoking cigarettes but didnt look like she wiped her hands down once.
The breakfast food was delicious. Our server was not very warm or inviting but we got everything we needed. Pricing was high for a diner but that’s probably typical for the area.
Foods amazing. Breakfast lunch or dinner. Pancakes were awesome. Chicken parm wrap was amazing. Could upgrade furniture though.
Not much parking. I ordered Chicken with pasta and vodka sauce. Sauce was good but the chicken was disgusting. I didnt eat any of it at all. When I told the waitress and saw that half my plate had gone uneaten, she took no action to remedy the situation.
Very tasty food and beautiful atmosphere ..and great customer service
Great waitresses but kinda sucks when they charge for refills it show how the company doing
Great place to eat food is amazing and service is even better
A++ staffGood food & good prices, we will be back!
Great atmosphere and cozy dining. The food was hot and delicious. Was able to feed a bus full of people in 35min.
Best tasting coffee, great food and good service. All egg items comes with home fries and toast. Portions are huge, good value to the money spent here.
Diner food here is quick and tasty. Not too crowded but you can tell they are attentive to the patrons.
Wish them used seasoning in there omelets. Had to add ketchup for flavor. Bring your own ketchup. Dont need to wait for the check, just go up and pay
AWSOME place in classic jersey.the service is very fast and the foodis very delicious. there was good snacksand little dinner.variety of snacks .the parking lot was little small.There was good atmosphere, and theplace was clean, the food was fresh.
Get a little slice of the Jersey Harbor’s rugged underbelly at this no-frills diner.
Typical diner food, service was amazing! Friendly, attentive wait staff, accommodated our large party with no problem.
The burger was one of the best Ive ever had. I ordered a medium and it came out juicy, thick, and flavorful.
The owners and staff are welcoming. The food is delicious and varied. The staff is Ttentive to everyones needs and desires. It is very kid friendly.
Delicious food and excellent customer service at the decent price.
Unassuming diner with fast friendly service.Basic diner menu. Prices are reasonable.
Every time I come into town this is where I come to eat. The staff here remember you from the 1st time you visit and make you feel at home every time you return. Everything Ive tried off the menu is delicious. The split pea soup is the best in the country.
My 5 stars are based on the service. Our server was AMAZING! The food was pretty forgettable and the place looks kind of scary, from decor to patrons.
Nothing like a New Jersey diner. This place lives up to the reputation. Good food, wide variety and a very pleasant and friendly staff. We will return when in the area.
The food is disgusting, the management is rude and the environment itself is decrepid. I ordered the special baked mac and cheese and got a sad mac and cheese that looked like it was cooked in the microwave with fake cheese. When I sent it back and ordered something else the manager was rude and refused to take it off my bill, despite me having not even touched it and ordering something else. Needless to say I will never be returning, they will not be receiving my business. I regret ever having gone.
Fast service, good food and reasonable prices
This is a real deal NY diner. The Manhattan chowder was the best Ive had! Burgers and Gyros are amazing too
Good food they have the most tender burger in jersey city theyre handmade by the chef
Sort of like a New York themed Diner, unlimited coffee refills, thick slabs of burgers, statue of liberty everywhere, america. We asked our waitress what the difference between a burger and a Californian burger was and she told us it was onions.
Only diner we could find that was open at 5 am as we waited for Liberty Park to open. Good coffee. Bathrooms are for costumers only. Quiet small town diner.
The food is hot and fresh and the staff is cheerful and polite. Every time I come up for work I go here for lunch.
Its a classic greasy spoon. Dont go expecting a fancy modern diner and keep to the basic breakfast menu. Youll be full and happy.
Nice diner! Good coffee, good breakfast, and great service.
Lovely breakfast, which we took away with us, friendly and helpful staff.
What a nice place! Great food! Clean! And beautiful friendly staff!
The people were so nice. I would definitely come back here again. The food was delicious and so was the service.
So fast, efficient and friendly. Ordered food in advance and it was ready and waiting. Great food. Had breakfast
Whats not to like Its an old school diner with good food and friendly service
THIS THE FIRST I ATE THERE USUALLY GET COFFEE AND BUTTER ROLLS. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS. BUT THE SERVICES STINK THIS BLOND WAITER ACT LIKE SHE DIDNT WANT TO GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY. AND WHEN I WENT UP TO PAY. THIS BIG TALL BLACK HAIR MAN. DIDNT EVEN SAY THANK YOU OR HOW WAS EVERY THING. I BELIEVE THEY DIDNT WANT IN THE CAFE. BECAUSE IM BLACK WOMAN. THE COFFEE WAS COLD AND TASTED HORRIBLE.
