Colonial Diner

I’m not exaggerating when I say the vegan menu at Colonial Diner is INSANE. Like… reassess-your-standards insane. • Seasonal special: the Korean wings. Crispy, saucy, addictive. And the ranch? OMFG. OMFG THE RANCHHHHH. I would drink it if society allowed it. • Poutine: felt like it was airlifted straight out of Halifax. Comfort food perfection—salty, rich, and unapologetic. • Buffalo chicken salad: UNREAL. Actually spicy, actually balanced, actually satisfying. • Important note: the chicken tenders are NOT the same as the Korean chicken with a different sauce. Different texture, different vibe, different execution. Respect. • The lasagna: BLESS LAWD.

My husband have eaten here twice, once for Dinner the other for breakfast. The Food is amazing and the Atmosphere is so great, the waiters and waitresses are so nice and quick to assist. I have food allergies and their Menu is so accommodating for someone like me and the food is so good tastes homemade meal, so grateful thanks Colonial Diner.

Six of us really enjoyed our time here. Our server Jessica N was fantastic. Our food was delicious and the portions are large and presented so well. The diner itself is nice and relaxing. Highly recommend! We enjoyed turkey clubs, Alaskan Benedict’s, a salad and an omelette. So many vegan options as well!!

We traveled from Union County to finally try Colonial Diner and we are so happy we did! The vegan options were amazing, but even better/more impressive is that there are vegan options on the kid’s meal. That never happens. From the moment we arrived with two toddlers we felt welcomed. Our server, Donald, went above and beyond for us. He was truly the best server we’ve had in a very long time. There is nothing typical about this diner- it is absolutely wonderful. Hopefully we will make it back soon.

We really enjoyed our meal at Colonial Diner. It’s a classic New Jersey diner that deserves to be experienced. The friendly interactions between staff and regulars show just how much a part of the neighborhood this place is. The food was well above average, and our server Carly was exceptionally friendly and attentive. My wife and I both had the Chicken Orzo soup to start. Then I had the chicken pot pie—it was fresh, with large chunks of well-prepared chicken and vegetables. The pastry topping tasted homemade, not like the usual commercial dough. My wife had the turkey dinner, which was a generous portion. She said it was one of the best turkey and mashed potato platters she’s had at a restaurant. For dessert, we shared rice pudding and ice cream—both were excellent. Plenty of parking
