★★★★☆ 4.0 John DePasquale · Nov 2025

Solo trip. Ordered a pork roll egg and cheese and fries. Coffee and water. I sat at the counter, the place only has 10ish tables. I was given a check within a few minutes of ordering however it took 20+ mins to get my food. I knew that because the time was on the check. The sandwich was very good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re anywhere near Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and stop by Colonial Restaurant — this place is a true local gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. The food is consistently excellent — fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right every time. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast or lunch, the portions are generous, and the quality never disappoints. I especially love how fast the service is without ever feeling rushed, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming — perfect for families, quick meals, or sitting down to actually enjoy your food. Great prices, amazing comfort food, and staff that genuinely care. Colonial Restaurant easily earns five stars and then some. Highly recommend! 🍽️✨

Stopped by Colonial Diner on our way to Sea Bright this morning. We had the waffle, omelette, and sunny side up eggs — everything tasted great, freshly made and flavorful. The place is on the smaller side, so it was quite packed, and there was a bit of lingering food odor inside, which was the only downside. Parking was manageable, and the service was quick and efficient. Overall, a solid breakfast stop with good food!

I think I’ve found a place where I can comfortably stop by every time I pass through here. It’s a very friendly place where you can see everything and experience service without limits. Even though there aren’t too many food options, you can easily fill yourself up with traditional American dishes. Thank you especially for the kindness

My history with Colonial is through a delivery service. Their meals are delicious and portions are generous. My only problem was with the DD service..I ordered 2 meals yesterday and only received one! It wasn't just like they forget the butter..it was an entire meal. How does that happen? Who is supposed to check? The order was in a plastic bag that was just tied, not sealed or stapled so was it taken out of the bag? Unfortunately no one will say and the DD delivery person would not respond to my texts even when I asked in 2 languages. DD refunded my money but that's not the point. Maybe this restaurant has a different delivery option..
