Manalapan Diner

Nice to have breakfast/ brunch here! Prices are very reasonable and food is delicious and big portions! Enjoy the relaxing environment and friendly workers of this restaurant

This was a great breakfast spot, I was surprised how well everything was cooked. Typical diner with booths, space, I would come back here for sure because the food was much better than other diners.

First time going to this dinner and its really tasty.

I feel bad for our waitress cause she is so kind to my table and very friendly, but had some difficult time with another table nearby.

TRY THE MOZZARELLA!!!! HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!!! Its made so fresh, you can really hear the proper crunch followed by the perfect cheese pull!

I even tried the Steak Quesadilla and omg, its so much food and the cuts were a little bigger then what I was expecting.

This is my birthday weekend. So hubby planned to take me here for breakfast. We were seated promptly. We perused the menu so knew exactly what we wanted. Hubby said the coffee was premo, light and tasty (2 cups). The cranberry juice was a little too sweet for me but just right for him. Even the water was on point, clear and refreshing. My Tropical Pancakes (4), yummy. Hubby's omelette and home fries was delicious.

As always, we were not disappointed. Wished we had room for some dessert!

Went out for breakfast Sunday with the family and had a great meal along with excellent service. Had the old school feel of diners we were so used to in Brooklyn. Our server Mary was extremely pleasant and provided excellent service. Thank you!!!!

Great experience at this Jersey diner! Excellent service, omelette was delicious and generously sized, hash browns were perfect, coffee was especially good. Prices were fair, decent value. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Would recommend 10/10!

I did not know I would like this diner this much. Wait staff, bussers and cooks are 2nd to none. I had pancakes with fruit on top, delicious. Not everyone can make a good pancake. Daughter had an omlette cooked perfectly. Husband had corned beef hash with eggs on top. Not all places know it should be done this way. Delicious!

Came in with my girl we were in a hurry to catch a 1pm massage at the plaza nearby. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Was able to order and eat and get the check within 10 mins. Great people. Great food. Much appreciated.

The waitress couldn't be more helpful, sweet, knowledgeable, in the spirit or friendly. Food was hot delicious and served in a decent amount of time after ordering. I will certainly return on my next visit to NJ.

Everytime we come here, we wonder why we don't come more often. The food is ALWAYS delicious. No matter what we choose, we always leave there happy.
The server we had that night was also AMAZING! She was right on top of everything, without being annoying as some can be.
The only tiny complaint I could have had that night was that their sooooo delicious Lemon Chicken soup, could have had a bit more chicken in it. It was very, very light that evening for some reason.
We WILL be going more often.

Double 5 Stars! My Cobb Salad was huge and the presentation was beautiful! My husband's burger and sweet potato fries were cooked and served to perfection (even with his substitutions). Mary our server was attentive, kind and made our meal even more enjoyable with her sunny disposition and ready smile(even with her mask on, you could see it). The Cheesecake was Amazing, as was the Chocolate cake! Oh, and the prices were extremely reasonable!

Hungry Man Breakfast & Classic American Burger. Burger was cooked perfect medium rare, coffee is great, matzo ball soup is good, breakfast is spot on.

The waiter is Awsome! Very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly.

Thank you

Excellent diner, actually our favorite out of 7 diners in area. Cozy, warm and decorated nicely. Service perfect, food good

Good breakfast and minimal wait on Father's Day, Iwona our waitress, was prompt and courteous ⚘

Came back in 2023, the 30 minute wait is really about 10 minutes......lol.
They get folsom in and out quickly (with no rush)

It was my first time there. Very fast service. Server was pleasant. 30min dining experience from seating to finishing food. 5 star for sure.

I have never had a bad experience at the manalapan diner, the staff is always attentive and care about the customer. The food is simply very good..thosr mozz sticks are the best ever..give it a try..you wont be disappointed

I have been going to the Manalapan diner for over 4 years. I eat there 2 times a week and can't say enough about how great the food is. The menu and daily specials will never disappoint. I have to give a special shout out to Litza, Angelo, and Jim for always being very warm and welcoming they are to all of their guests. And their staff is very attentive and friendly. Even if you're not in the area, I live 45 minutes away, make it a point to stop in to eat, you won't be disappointed. Thank you to all of them.

The first time in this place, the service was beyond great. The waitress was so attentive. Food was hot and delicious, next time visiting with family, I will return.

My boyfriend and I drive 2-hours each way just to eat at the Manalapan Diner! Each meal I've had here was super tasty. Make sure to try the mozzarella sticks as they are the best I've ever eaten.

Excellent food. Large portions. Fast service. Waiter was fantastic....Angel.
