Been going here since the early 2000s and not much has changed - except the menu has vastly expanded due to popularity. Everything is still delicious! If you like desserts , try their éclairs .
Greek lamb gyros were outstanding!!! The best ever!!! Lobster bisque was so creamy and delicious!! I will be returning to dive in deep for some grub!
Request Nick as a waiter ! What a great guy - very attentive and personable. Will be coming back just because of him.
Good: large portions & menu variety. My egg white omelette had tasteless cardboard tomatoes + an unappealing brown skin on it. Industrial shredded potatoes were fast-food like, lacking flavor
Everything! Definitely one of the best dinners I've ever been!
My family and I have been going here since they opened and have definitely seen a decline in their food. When we’ve ordered takeout they either forgot something or gave us the wrong item.
Really good food, great taste, really big menu and great service. Will definitely come back.
Wow, great meal, loved the Greek moussaka . Server was quick and attentive. Sodas were strangely pricey , $2.99
The truth is the only reason why the Food Network went there so many times is that Jefferson Diner PAID Food Network to come there. One of the owners sons constantly called every 5 minutes into the FN
the pierogies are to die for!! great breakfast skillets too.
Best items of the evening - wasabi mashed potatoes and, surprisingly, the rice pudding !
Get a skillet , breakfast lunch or dinner
Excellent diner food + more! Very friendly staff !
Great food. I had here's the beef triple decker sandwich . Great service
Matzo soup was awful. Steak dinner,Salad ,Kids chicken fingers were good. Waiter was nice, when he'd eventually get to us. Mgrs seemed to not care of the answers when they asked how it was
Enjoying everything here! French onion in the nest is a family favorite!
Yummy meatloaf with mashed potatoes . Never a bad meal.
Best red velvet cake in the state
Super oatmeal , tasty corned beef hash and great omelets !
Quintessential diner . Great burger .
Very disappointing. The french toast had no vanilla or cinnamon flavor, the pancakes were even worse. Bacon was thick, fatty &somehow also had a jerky consistency to it. I cook a lot & never coming bk
I wanted to see a lot (A LOT) of old people and eat mediocre steak and eggs , and boy was I ever satisfied! A+
Great food and beverage excellent server's
The Hunters special is good
Queso club is really good

Best burgers around ...never had a bad meal....always a great experience! !!!!
Great breakfast . Cookies look amazing.
Sit at the counter during a rush time and watch the crazy wait staff deal with the even crazier cooks.
Very nice staff - huge menu! Pierogies are delish
Try the Phill Special- #15 Bronx Panini and add Chicken .
The nicest hostess works here...I think her name is Marcela? She's great. Good food too.
May be the best Diner period. Get anything here. You'll be happy. Read more
Really good food but be careful... It's kinda pricy for a diner , but well worth it
A little expensive for a diner.The food was low in quality.I ordered the farmers panini and the chicken was full of pink veins.My fiance ordered a chicken wrap and the chicken had bones in it.
Cool hand burger is the best!
U should try the buffalo bill wrap if you like spicy ... Its delicious!!!!!! :):)

Best French onion soup I've had!! You won't regret it
A basic burger and they've managed to screw it up. The fries also tasted of old oil and we're compelely stuck together as if they were in a freezer too long. If you like frozen food stop here.
Popeye spinach salad with grilled chicken is the best and tastiest salad around.
All breakfast
Deserves all the praise for food. Service was spotty on my last visit, but not unbearably so.
Breakfast skillets are amazing here.
Greek fries were seriously tasty...
Friendly and attentive service
Disco fries !!!
Decent food but pricey . Not sure if it's really worth the money. Sparta Classic Diner is better.
Amazing at all hours of the night
Pancakes were like rubber and the potatoes were cold
Quick, friendly service very accommodating of larger groups with a full bar and incredible portions -- come hungry! - Mark Poblete
The cook is a competition BBQ winner. If the BBQ shows up on the menu of the day, get it. It's real BBQ, smoked slow & sublime, and the best in these parts. Both pulled pork & brisket were delicious. - What's Good Here
I went there when they first opened and it wasn't too great. I have them a few months and they really stepped it up. Some of the best home fries I ever had there. Friendly staff and good portions. - Keith Eberle
While it's still one of my favorite haunts, the mall doesn't have that family feel 2 it much anymore. Trying 2 hard to be Palisades. It's a shop and get out place. - Debra Rohlfs
DOLBY CINEMA is a CAN'T MISS experience. I catch every movie possible. Reserve seats. Giant Motorized Recliners. Epic Sound, Epic Picture. Put's my ALIST to good use! - Gregg ????????????????
