Good food especially take out. you can’t go wrong with really good food from the diner although they did not have any shrimp salad the day we were there I had a fabulous triple decker turkey bacon club sandwich my beautiful bride had a wonderful...salad that she thoroughly enjoyed. Inside while we waited we noticed the tables were socially distant and they really paid attention to COVID-19 protocols. We chose to take out to be extra safe but I highly recommend this place.More
Located on Route 18 East, I haven't been here for many years but the experience wasn't like what I remembered. We stopped by for lunch, the dining areas are large and it seemed like it was fully staffed. However, while the place was at least...half empty, it took a while before a server came over. The orders came out fairly quickly but the food was just okay. My wife ordered a Greek salad but it didn't come with any grape leaves, what's a Greek salad without them??? My burger was just okay but the fries were good. Ample parking available.More
Used to be my favorite diner. Dessert a month ago was expensive and the cakes not as good as they used to be (with smaller cuts). Then today for lunch a chicken salad sandwich was awful. Huge thick bread, hardly any chicken salad and what...was there was mostly mayo. Diner should be ashamed. Fancy menu but doesn’t deliver the goods. Much prefer a regular diner with a regular diner menu. Oh, and slapping on a ton of fries on the side doesn’t do it. If I knew the sandwich came with fries I would have asked for a substitute or told you to hold it. Maybe the waitress should have mentioned something about the fries?More
Went for brunch with a group of 20 last sunday. Service was excellent. I had an omelet which was one of the biggest I have ever been served. I couldn't finish it. Home fries are delicious, and the coffee was great. Considering how large a...group we were, our waiter got everything straight while maintaining his sense of humor. All in all, good value for the price, and very good food.More
The food here is just like most diners. It was very busy and it looked like most were customers that had been here a few times. I would definitely come back for lunch/dinner.
We arrived after the breakfast rush, so they were quite empty. The service was attentive. Real NJ sloppy Joes and the coffee was very good.
The other night I had a craving for a nice pizza burger, my husband suggested the Colonial Diner and we went. What a disappointment!!!!!!! It was just a burger and they didn't even bother to melt the mozzarella cheese on top. The cheese was not...melted so it didn't feel cheesy as it should have been. They gave me the marinara sauce on the side.!!!!!More
Meal was served quite quickly nice menu good food and plenty of it. Comfortable seating . Service was efficient. Waitress was pleasantly chatty.
Expected typical diner menu. Was disappointed as the menu was limited in choices. None of your typical diner comfort foods available and the choices you had seemed very expensive. Service was good and quick but not like a diner you'd expect
The Colonial Diner, located on Route 18 Northbound, in East Brunswick is well worth the trip for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or anything in between. A classic Diner serving good food everyone will enjoy. Service is always good and friendly.
