The Edison Diner Reviews

Excellent food, large selection, good coffee, quick service, nice atmosphere, and most importantly open 24 hours. I've been coming here for 15 years as of this review.

Classic old school diner, with a modern look. The menu is huge, and everything is delicious. In my opinion you knows it's a good diner when matzah ball soup is always available. Anytime my wife and I pass through NJ The Edison Diner is a guaranteed stop.

A great place to have a good meal with your family without braking your wallet.

Great Service only detail was the percentage on tips, they should inform you first of there plans before making decisions with your money.

Classic diner with extensive menu. Breakfast specials from 6-11am include coffee and juice. Environment is very noisy with loud, heavy metal music, and booth seating is tight. But, portions are generous, menu is reasonably priced and service was very good. Mixed feelings about returning because of the noise and unpleasantly loud music.

Great food and fast service. Wish i could eat it all.

I ordered a bacon and egg platter with French fries. What I got was uncooked bacon and moldy bread.

This diner doesn't have half-sour pickles, they don't know what it is.. the hot pastrami sandwich was not good, overheated in the microwave. Will not come back..

Always a great meal.
The soups rule!

A little pricier than our usual South Jersey diners, but a great value nonthless. Great flavor and large portions. Glad we stopped here.

This is a nicely furnished place with great options to suit anyone's taste. A little on the pricy side.

Why expensive an eggs Benedict were mediocre at best. Nice staff tho

Really great selections. Food was amazing. Large portions. Great service. Have been there many times- they never disappoint!

Food is awesome big dishes worth going. Only diner I will go now

As diners go, it's pretty typical. Nice food, nice staff, definitely a safe pick if you don't know where else to eat.

Cozy place we go pretty often. Recently food quality hasn't been the same but I'm sure we'll keep going back because the breakfast items is where it's at.

Had breakfast there this morning. The food was excellent. And the sevice was also. Will go back.

The server was terrible. She wasn't attentive, I had to ask for things several times, she never refilled our water. Thank God the food was delicious a it always is. I'll just make sure I don't sit in her section anymore

I have never gone on social media give my opinion before, but as a server of 27 years and now an employee at the Edison diner, I have to say I sooo happy to have this job. I finally work at a diner thats totally organized,where my Co workers are extremely friendly and helpful..that includes management..Although I don't know the owner to well,from what I hear he is a great guy..The place is clean, the computer set up the best I ever worked with, And most important, we are treated like human beings, not machines...This place put almost ever diner I've worked in to shame...I love my job now...And a happy employee makes all the difference......

Food was very good ,service was a bit slow ,unable to handle large partys.facility was very clean an excellant repair

Very good Mediterranean Omelette using egg whites and reasonably priced.

look, I'm not one to hate on others but they practically just asked for it. the rudest of God's creation. they had to make the worst food and give it to very hungry people. even then, we couldn't dare to eat it. pasta was definitely boiled in dirty water. I was scared he spit in my food before he brought it out. the waiter was staring at us the whole night...was he waiting till I ate the piece with his spit? hmmmm? find out on the next episode of "Edison Diner: 65 years of damaging the community"

Always good food and service. Though they do not carry real maple syrup which was disapointing. That needs to change.

Portions are HUGE! Love this place. Owned by a family, definitely recommend.

Wonderful chicken & tuna salad. Enough for three days lol.

Typical New Jersey diner. Perfect place for breakfast.

LOVE their salmon over salad!! Clean and friendly place with a great menu. They really know what they re doing here.

One of if not my favorite diner. Clean, nice and friendly staff. Food is very good.

Horrible place walked in and guy talked rudely and horrible service never coming back again!

Now this Diner is by far "The Best Ever Diner" they serve for Kings and Queens so bring an appetite

Great diner, right on route 1 in Edison. Love the food, especially breakfast. Eggs were perfect, bacon was nice and crispy. Responsible prices and friendly, smiling staff. I will be returning.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This place was disgusting from the food to the customer service to the unprofessional manager. I m so disappointed and will never come back. A waste of money.

The food is always good and the portions are huge! Definitely go. It's worth it.

The food was excellent; service was top-notch. Couldn't ask for a better place to have a meal!

Delicious food friendly waitresses and the Cheesecake is to die for.

The food is great here and every time we show up, there is minimal to no wait time. Whole wheat pancakes are my fave! And the coffee keeps comin'. Can't ask for more!

Delicious food, wonderful service, and is one of my most favorite diners to eat at.

Turkey club was great, flounder sandwiches was delicious

We had a lovely meal with our daughter-in-law's mom, dad, sister and Nana. Very friendly staff and the seating and noise level was great.

could use some improvement but not bad for a late night meal

Great spot for late night eats, or anytime at all really

I come here twice a week and thought it was about time to give these guys their 5 star review. Service is great food is fantastic and the prices are awesome.

One of the best diners around. Bathrooms are big and clean. Diner is clean. Food is quite good. Breakfast is wonderful
The menu is huge but with pictures !!

Great food,a little expensive and slow but if you order ahead it s all good.

Okay did not like french fries. Burger and shake were good.

Excellent food excellent service.Wish there will be more variety of Mediterranean dishes..

Great service and food quality among the diner category, and the portion size is astonishingly huge!

I'm just going to get right to the point and honest, the food was fresh, hot, loved the portions of my food those signature big diner pancakes. Just what I wanted out of a diner. My server was so polite, patient and one thing I noticed is that he stayed near by so that if we needed anything he would be there right away and that was very nice.oh and the menu options are huge and there open 24 hours yay!
Not one to sugar coat especially about food places but I would definitely recommend Edison Diner to anyone . One thing is the man that seated us did not wait to see if we followed him to show us our seat and because he walked off so fast we didn't know where he went to know where we being seated .

The servers were friendly. The food was delicious and a great price.

I have been going to this place for almost 10yrs and must say it's the best diner you can go to. Always clean feels cozy and has good food.

Horrible customer service, I called to ask how to order a steak omelette on the doordash app and the guy that answered hung up on me twice.

This place was ok they didn't have a vegan selection or organic of food. which I personally think they should have cause not everyone can eat dairy products or unhealthy processed foods

If you're hungry for some homestyle food before crossing the bridge over the Raritan River to Central Jersey, this is your last chance you shouldn't pass up. They always say to save the best for last. You might have already tried the rest up in this end of North Jersey, so maybe it's time you tried the best. I thought my town, Manalapan, had a really awesome diner that had a lot of good food but honestly, The Edison Diner put it to shame!

Now, when I first skimmed through the menu, I noticed that a lot of the dinner choices were preceded by a curious paragraph that caught my attention. Almost every section of the lunch/dinner menu, including the daily special, came with a full course dinner and not just a "soup OR salad." It got me feeling a little skeptical at first, to be honest, because it is uncommon for a diner to simply throw a full course dinner at you for a reasonable price. Let alone their daily specials getting the same treatment, I was sure that something was funky about the portion sizes or something.

So I went ahead and got a Thursday special of an 18oz Roasted Prime Rib of Beef (Just over $21). Get this: It came with a soup (I chose Matzoh Ball), salad (House Salad w/ Caesar Dressing), a side dish of vegetables (I chose Spinach & Rice), potato/linguine/some other side dish (I chose mashed potatoes w/ gravy), and a dessert (s'mores ice cream, oh my!) Needless to say, I got my fill of dinner for the entire night! For me, the portion sizes were generous and got me perfectly content with my filling-up (and that's coming from a big guy, keep in mind.) It's quite a lot and I was really impressed with how much was served up. That's how a full-course dinner is meant to be served this diner gets it!



Finally, the service at this diner was something also worth complimenting. Most other diners have the "blues" snobbish attitude during the dinner rush or during a weekday. This one. This one threw the typical image of the blues away and showed true professionalism and good attitude towards all diners (including myself.) The upper middle-age gentleman who served me and my friend on the Thursday night we went was well, a gentleman who didn't complain and was serious about the ones he served. I couldn't have asked for a better waiter. The people working here had a positive attitude the entire time I was there, so some other diners in the area should learn how this diner is doing it right!

Overall, I have to applaud this diner for being able to denounce my favour-ism from my local diners around me and claim my new favourite to The Edison Diner. Their food, attitude and value have led me to really love this place. It's a great spot for an excellent dinner at a great price and generous portions. I have nothing bad to say about this place, honestly. I'll be there again sometime soon!

The food was excellent! It was my first time here can't wait to visit again.

I hate to give bad reviews, but this place is not worth your time or money. Slow to be seated (even though it was almost 10 PM on a Sat night and the place was not busy at all), but once seated, the waiter was attentive and quick (thus, 1 star).
Ordered a veggie omelette, but would have liked to let the cook know that using canned mushrooms is VERY noticeable in this type of dish and not tasty at all. In addition to that, the omelette had no flavor at all as it seems no spices, salt or anything was used in it. The home fries were a sloppy, tasteless mess...again, no spices, salt, onions, nothing. The best part if the meal was the buttered whole wheat toast!
Overall, overpriced for horrible food.
Aside from the food, the bathroom was filthy...no toilet paper in 2 of the 3 stalls, no soap in 1 dispenser, paper all over the floor. Gross in general, but for a food establishment??!! I at least did my part and told a server to have it tended to.
My advice? Keep driving.

Great choice, good food, price very reasonable. Most meals include bowl of soup, salad and desert with entree. And usually have extra to bring home. Personal favorite is the Asian vegetable stir fry.

Good food and great portions, some of the staff could be a bit nicer.
