This is our absolute favorite breakfast place in NJ. We love finding places with that “old time diner” feel which is exactly what you get here. It’s always the same waitress, the same guy who checks you out. Service is always very pleasant. The omelettes are always outstanding, which is hard to find nowadays! We try to come at least once a month.
Food is great, I’ve ordered a few times from there and their food is delicious. Staff there is very pleasant and patience for me. I’m very indecisive all the time and they have gone as far as to recommend what to eat. Every time I come in here we talk about random things in life. They don’t treat you as just a customer by giving you the food charging and sending you in the way, we’ve had plenty of conversations making me feel like we are friends. Totally recommend this place. Actually on my way there now and again not sure what to order.
Empire is the best diner/breakfast place I have ever been to, lots of memories amazing food, great service the people are always so kind to me and I will never forget my experience there.
Its awesome. Great food and friendly service. Nice people.
Great breakfast sandwiches and fast service, one of the last places around to have a real short order chef who gets your food out quick correct and tasty. Plus gotta love the nostalgia of an old school luncheonette counter.
This is a really fun place to eat. The atmosphere is light hearted. Many children with their dads are often there at the counter which is nice to see.The waitress weve enjoyed there on Saturday mornings has been happy to make suggestions that we have truly enjoyedYou can buy lottery tickets, candy from a candy center, newspaper, .etc
Excellent food!
Been going here for 20 years, best food ive ever had!!
I stopped here for brunch and was so completely surprised!!! From the outside it looks almost like a to-go sandwich shop with a lottery shop ... once you go in ... theres a full sit down area with a bar where you can watch your food be cooked!I have to confess, Ive tried multiple diners. I love breakfast and, when I go out, Im always disappointed. Eggs are usually overdone, one or two pieces of cheese, bacon is burnt, hashbrowns are either too done or not enough, and youre usually waiting there FOREVER for your food.This place? OMG... first, the waitress, Megan, is SO nice and personable, the food is made to YOUR specification and its SO Good! It was done quick and we could watch him make it. They have specials and they give so much food.I also lost my phone as we were leaving, it was raining so hard, and they helped look for it. They even looked through the dishes and I finally found the stupid phone!I can only say that I will definitely be back and I cant wait!
Cute place with great food! Very family friendly. The owner and staff were great with my kids.
Love this place! Drive 30 min out of my area (with a lot of options) to eat here.
Love this place. Unfortunately its a best kept secret. They have great food great service and you can even buy a lottery ticket there. What more do you want for lunch?
