Went there for breakfast this morning. Eggs, home fries, and homemade corned beef hash! If you love great corned beef hash, this is definitely the place for you! Large chunks of real corned beef and well seasoned- delicious. You’ll wait a little for your food because there is only one cook ( I believe the owner), but it is well worth it! Also- bakery items are all made from scratch and sooo good. FYI- I also saw that they will also be offering Thanksgiving diners and pies for purchase! Definitely worth trying!

Nestled in the heart of Farmingdale , NJ, the Local Diner and Bakery stands as a charming haven for food lovers, offering a delightful blend of comfort food and culinary finesse. My recent visit was nothing short of remarkable, leaving me eager to share my experience. The star of my meal was undoubtedly the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes. These pancakes were a triumph in texture and flavor—light, airy, and imbued with a comforting taste that transports you straight back to the warmth of home. The delicate balance of zesty lemon and sweet blueberries created a delightful harmony, making each bite a memorable one. Owner Terry is not only an exceptional cook but also a passionate advocate for fresh, quality ingredients. It’s clear that she takes great pride in her work and truly loves to

We always come here after Black Friday shopping at the Jersey Shore Outlets, but we’re always back again before next year! The food is delicious, and comes out quick. We had the Greek omelette and French toast. It’s so cute inside, and the service is phenomenal.

Great place with amazing food. Stopped in for breakfast and wasn't disappointed. I had the legendary pork roll sandwich and homemade corn beef hash. 10/10 would eat here again.

Super pleasant dining experience, amazing service, and truly great food! A ton of gluten free options and accommodations as well. I'm not from around here, but will find an excuse to come back just to come eat here again!
