Around the Clock Diner

We had breakfast and lunch menu items and both were better than average nj diner quality. The food was not greasy, overly salty or fatty. The portions were large and everything arrived at the right temp. There are some issues with service in terms of understanding the order, service of the ordered items and visiting the tables for check ins even if the restaurant isnt full but that seemed to be more due to new staff or under trained staff than a full restaurant. The decor and cleanliness of the restaurant is top notch retro jersey diner and deserves top marks for appearance but the half full dining room takes a little away from the atmosphere. The burgers and sandwiches were great and the eggs and pancakes and coffees were great. If the service was better this would be a solid 4!

Around the Clock Diner at American Dream has that classic retro-diner vibe with plenty of comfort food options to match. Portions are generous, the menu is broad enough for any craving, and the shakes are a fun throwback. Service can get a bit busy during peak hours, but the staff stay friendly and upbeat. A solid spot to refuel in between exploring the mall.

Around the Clock is a cozy diner located inside the American Dream Mall. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We were a group of six, and the service remained smooth and efficient throughout. The food portions were generous and satisfying. We tried a variety of dishes, including the Cobb salad, chicken wings, burgers, spaghetti and meatballs, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was fresh and flavorful—especially the wings and mozzarella sticks, which were standouts. Overall, it was a great experience. Delicious food, fair pricing, and excellent service. We’re definitely coming back!

Today I visited Around the Clock Diner for dinner, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff and waitresses were super friendly and made us feel more than welcome even after my daughter changed seats three times, going from outside to inside and back outside again when she realized the inside table was smaller. The food was a 10 out of 10 hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were big, and everything was served quickly. The drinks were just as impressive. You won’t be disappointed dining here!

We came here for what was supposed to be a nice dinner after shopping. The biggest issue wasn’t that our drinks didn’t come for over 20 minutes, it wasn’t that two people in our party didn’t get their food until 15+ minutes after everyone else, or that they forgot an entree, not even the fact that they weren’t busy enough to warrant the delay. The biggest issue is how disgusting the bathrooms were and the fact that the owner, instead of being appreciative that we quietly let him know made excuses and was beyond rude. What kind of restaurant makes excuses for a dirty bathroom next to the kitchen that doesn’t even have soap for employees? Such a tacky person who severely lacks manners and has no appreciation for his patrons.
