Reviews for The Kenilworth Diner Restaurant in Kenilworth, NJ
First and last time here. Coffee was bleh, the eggs and hash were decent but I'm not a fan of all the onions on the hash... (personal thing) and it's a different texture but kind of bland. Plus I am pretty sure corn beef hash has potatoes in it butmaybe it's a different style. The worst though was the fruit salad. It was not fresh and I only ate the melon because thegrapefruit was horrid. Not worth $2.45 for the substitution. But I choose not to say anything in person and let the reviewsspeak for themselves. I did give a good tip because the waitress was nice. So I did the right thing but I will not come back.Food is expensive as it is and to pay over $20 total for one person for what tastes like poor leftovers is not a good deal. Ifelt like I just wasted money and my stomach has been growling nonstop since I left there. Owner just needs to improve the foodquality, service was good. Read more
I went here a couple of days during a 3-day stay. Every morning for their excellent breakfast. Had the eggs, pork roll sandwich... and the pancakes and all of them were big portions and very tasty. Went for lunch one time, and the sandwich was equally hugeand good. Service was also fast and great. Read more
Cheesecake. That is all. I've been coming for years, the staff is always attentive and their kitchen is very clean. It's an open... kitchen so you can see that they're not hiding things from you. It is by far one of the cleanest diners I've ever been in. Veryaccommodating with requests. I order their souvlaki platter quite often, it never disappoints. Enjoy the food but then stay fortheir cheesecake. It's so worth it! They have large pieces so we usually get one to share. We used to get cheesecake from thefranchise store, but not anymore. Kenilworth Diner is the way to go! Read more
Food tastes like it was rushed and had absolutely no flavor, the honest truth is that it was worse than the food they serve at a... fast food restaurant. What a shame. The server was dismissive and ignored us the whole time, not even one glance towards ourway. How pitiful. They took our water before we even left. The food looked nice but that's all it had going for it. I promise itwas nasty just as it's dirty utensils were. Read more
Had a great lunch with my Manager yesterday. Started with the appetizer sampler, which was bigger than expected. The potato... skins were the best! I had a basil pesto panini and cup of chicken soup. Food came out super quick and hot. The menu has tonsof items that would draw anyone back. Thank you! Read more
Great diner and friendly staff. Food is consistency great and you have to give this diner credit for the affordable prices on... most menu items. I wouldn't recommend trying to park in their lot though. Really small lot so I'd recommend parking down thestreet. Definitely a plus that you're able to place orders online for pickup as well. The place is clean although it's worthmentioning that almost none of the staff wear masks anymore. Probably not much of a bother for most people but worth a mention. Read more
First time and extremely happy! The Server Olympia was amazing, very attentive, cheerful and the food was fresh and as a big guy... the portions were definitely great. I had the Sirlion Steak cooked to perfection, the Oreo packages to die for, ham was charredands savory. Highly recommended! Read more
The service was OK, the butter and syrup did not come out with the pancakes and Waffle. My pancakes then was cold, and not very... taste full. My lox omelet was good. My mom liked her Waffle. My sister had a simple 2 fried eggs. Butter needs to be on thepancakes, to melt. And the pancakes were NOT GOOD. Read more
