Elmer Diner Restaurant

We stopped in at the Elmer Diner for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. It’s a classic New Jersey diner with both counter and table service. The menu is extensive and features all the standard diner staples. I ordered the French Onion Soup, which was excellent, and the Amish-Style Roast Beef—sliced roast beef served over bread stuffing with mashed potatoes. The dish was very good and generously portioned. My wife had the Chicken Salad Plate, which was also quite large and satisfying. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with staff greeting many regulars by name. There’s plenty of parking available, making it an easy and enjoyable stop.

Went on a whim with a friend while running errands in the area. Got a mini meal that was anything but! Delicious and huge. Server was sweet and the clientele just as nice.

Everything was delicious and the prices were right!! You get soup and fries WITH your sandwich!! Would definitely recommend!!

I recently just moved to the area(Elmer) 2 friends and I went to the diner for dinner tonight, 3/3/2026. They brought out a bowl of soup, chicken Florentine, and it had a small worm 🐛 in it! I don’t recommend coming to eat here at all!

We have been passing this diner for 20 years while traveling back and forth and somehow never stopped here. We were hungry on our way, so we called and placed a pick up order. Out of this world!!! We got the pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel, and it was phenomenal! The pork roll was sliced thick with two pieces on the sandwich. It came with fries, which were also pretty good. This is now our go-to when we’re traveling.
