Perfect Pre-Flight Fuel Stop! Just stopped at Skylark Diner on my way to the airport, and WOW - what a fantastic choice! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how spotlessly clean and well-maintained everything was. The atmosphere was welcoming and the whole place just sparkled with that classic diner charm. The service? Absolutely TOP-NOTCH! The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick - exactly what you need when you’re catching a flight and watching the clock. I ordered their egg omelet, and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! Perfectly cooked, fluffy, and packed with flavor. It was exactly the hearty, satisfying breakfast I needed before heading to the airport. The portion was generous too - I left feeling energized and ready for my journey. Skylark Diner is definitely my new go-to spot for airport runs. Whether you’re a local or just passing through New Jersey, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won’t regret it!

This might be the best diner I've ever been to. The food was exceptionally good. Our server was a very sweet young man named Kyle. When we were ready to leave we heard live music starting in the lounge. We decided to stay and listen. It was wonderful. The band started with a music set, then it turned into an open mic with very talented people, and this was a Wednesday night no less. The diner was very attractive, and it was a total great experience...

I recently visited Skylark Diner for breakfast with my son. When we first got here, we were greeted with smiles. There was a lady and man at the front desk when we arrived. They were very friendly, often seen helping the guests get situated in the restaurant. We went to our seats. Our waitress, Zena, was very nice and accommodating! She substituted the original pork products on the menu for turkey products for us! It was nice and cool in the restaurant and had great music playing. I heard a few of my favorite songs on the radio! There were lots of other people in the restaurant too, which is always a great thing. We originally saw the Instagram promotion to get a free $15 GC when we visited, so we tried it! It worked! I was happy to be able to use the promotion. Food is very pricey though. We spent about $40 after the promotion.

My sister raved about this place so we took our mom here to celebrate her birthday. Horrible! Food nasty, service trash, overpriced, but the atmosphere was cool. The food was not seasoned. The waitress was not attentive. Kept having to ask other waiters for assistance. I wasn't even offered a refilled. She wasn't knowledgeable about the menu. The club part is good for people 35+. They played good music. I wouldn't come back here though.

The Skylark Diner, located off of Route 1 in Edison, is a great spot for anyone who wants to stop for a good meal during a commute at most times of the day. The Skylark, which is open seven days a week, is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends while enjoying a retro vibe. Myself and two friends visited at 2:30pm on a Friday and there was a decent crowd despite it being between lunch and dinner. We waited about 10 minutes for our food but we got our drinks pretty quickly. I got a sloppy joe and sweet potato fries and I paid $20.00 for my meal, not including the 20% tip we left. Our waitress made sure we had enough to drink and was attentive to our table. Everything was clean and all of the walls were decorated with retro artwork that complemented the furniture and atmosphere. There are plenty of options on the extensive menu, which even includes alcoholic drinks from their bar. Overall, the Skylark is a great place that I would recommend visiting if you want to eat a good meal, a fun drink, or to experience a more retro atmosphere.

The food was horrible. Fries came out soggy and cold. The chicken to my sandwich was hard and blacked. Music to some party extremely loud. Who has a party in a diner ? Saw waitress once. Avoid. Food wasn’t even edible. Didn’t even get refills on our sodas.

This is my favorite “Jersey diner” ⭐️ Whenever we’re heading to NYC or back in my fiancé’s hometown, we are here. The food is INCREDIBLE-everything I’ve ever had has been great 👍 Drinks are awesome. Service is fabulous. The vibe is an awesome MCM that can’t be beat- keep waiting for the Jetsons to show up 🤩 You’ll love it- give it a try 🥰

Had breakfast with my son today. He got the eggs and bacon. I got the bagel special which was very very good with a side of bacon. My only complaint is that the menu said it came with a hard boiled egg but it didn’t. I had tomato, juice, soda, coffee and my son and I had a mimosa my son also had a Pepsi. The bill with tax came to $81 and change.

Angie the waitress was cheerful and friendly, a calming influence when we took a break from a hectic airport ride. The food was hot and emerged from the kitchen quickly, which eased our minds about the time remaining before our flight. Great aviation retro decor.

We stoped here for breakfast after our 9+hr drive from North Carolina. We arrived about 30min before they opened so we took a quick nap in our car while we waited! lol Once inside we took a look around. Love the decor. Loved the booths and the light fixtures. The counter stools where nice and wide. They had clocks set to times around the world. We got seated right away. Our server was super friendly. She gave us our table and menus and gave us some time to check it out. First up for us. Large Fresh squeezed orange juice. When I tell you this hit the spot after our long drive I'm not doing it justice. lol it was the best glass of oj I think I've ever had. Get it. For our breakfast order, we had a make your own omelette, spinach, ham , bacon. Super tasty. It also came with toast and some home fries. Also had the short rib hash with fried eggs a small salad and a little cup of fresh yoghurt with honey and blue berries. This dish was full of flavor. I was surprised how much I enjoyed a small salad moth breakfast y'all! I paired perfectly with the richness of the short rib hash. The yoghurt with honey and berries was a nice addition as well. All in all it was a great way to start our long weekend in New Jersey . Give this place a go if you're in the mood for a great breakfast and awesome diner experience.

Currently writing this while waiting for our SOUP. Guess they make each cup per order. (Joke) Never waited so long for SOUP. We picked a diner cuz we had things planned for after, currently tapping our feet and anxious waiting so long. At this rate our food should just all come out at the same time. Hopefully the food makes up for this wait, ridiculous. And I'll say this, not busy at all. Weirddddd!! Feel like we're on a tv show right now as the waiter edges us everytime he passes. Got our soup!! Wrong order tho, instead of one bowl two cups we got two bowls one cup... "our food runners aren't doing anything back there.." huh? An active strike? What the hells going on here? Idk if it's the fact I'd eat my own foot right now but the soup is quite good. Now let's see if we ever get our food. Ok I'll say this, the food was good, worth the wait? No. Felt like an episode of Seinfeld or something because every request we gave our waiter resulted in nothing. "Can we get a starry?" "Sure!" ... Long story short we didn't get a starry, I wanted some ranch but I knew I'd never receive it. Weird weird weird. Parking lot also sucks. Sad bc the food was good but the incompetence of the wait staff was confusing, concerning, and frustrating.

Oh my! Six of us were treated like royalty. We all live far away and tried to find a place that was convenient. Everything was splendid. The server we had was a lovely woman who honestly gave us the best service I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Three of us had the pastrami grilled sandwich which was perfection. One had a gluten free meal with omelet and yummy bread. One had a streak sandwich and loved it. I'm sorry we didn't take food pictures! We agreed to meet for brunch again in the future. Good job!

I was actually really disappointed on my trip to Skylark Diner. I had friends that raved how good the food was but I was extremely underwhelmed with the service. I went on a Friday at 2pm and the dining room was EMPTY! There was 1 other family when we first walked in but besides that, tons of enoty booths and tables. I got the Shrimp and Grits with a Pepsi and I got a total of 5 shrimp in my shrimp and grits. I also had to take the tail off of the shrimp, immediately getting my fingers dirty in a dish eaten best with a spoon. The chorizo and ham were sparse and could not be tasted in the grits, I also wish there were more mix ins with the grits. BE WARNED: The Fall menu is very fish forward and the prices might not be the same as those on your receipt. The menu said the shrimp and grits were 25 with a fountain drink included but my bill had 28 plus the cost of the 4 dollar fountain drink! I did not realize til after the bill was paid so CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS (I am hoping this was just a 1 time occurrence/mistake) The wait service was fine. The food was delivered fresh from the kitchen but our waitress did not check in on us frequently for drink refills. The atmosphere is fine with a 70s feel and playing early 2000s on the radio when we went for a throwback!

Came here with my boyfriend and it's beautiful inside. The seats are colorful and it is a really happy atmosphere. The food is phenomenal, I got the avocado smashed toast and it was 10/10. He got the Churro Waffle and was pleased. He also added a side of crispy bacon. The place is slightly expensive, but worth the price. The latte I got was not good, just pretty. Waitress forgot to add the vanilla and I should have just kept it plain lol. The service was okay. She was very kind but everything took pretty long (they were busy) but i mean, i had to ask 4 times for the wifi so i can show her what she was asking for but kept walking away. I had cash in hand with the bill to pay and every time she didn't take it... but overall the experience was 8/10

Had the sesame chicken and it was good. The portions were good. I wish the chicken was just a bit more crispy, but outside of that it was delicious. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that likes Asian food.

I honestly wish I were writing a better review, but my experience at this diner was... memorable for all the wrong reasons. I had just started eating when I noticed a tiny pink tail scurry under my table. Yes--a furry rodent decided to join me for brunch. Nothing kills an appetite faster than realizing you're sharing your meal with something that definitely didn't come from the kitchen on purpose. I pushed my plate away immediately. I get that things happen, but for a restaurant, this is a pretty big "thing." It completely overshadowed anything else about the place. Needless to say, I didn't stay long, and I won't be returning to see if their little visitor is still around.

the food and drinks are always excellent. I'm living the new brunch menu. service is always very friendly and timely. Parking is very tough there during high volume times, but it's worth the struggle. It's very clean inside and comfortable seating. I usually sit at the bar, which is a great size, with great bartenders!

I've had Skylark Diner on my radar for a minute because I heard about their R&B/Jazz Brunch on Sundays. I decided to go check it out with another Yelper. When I arrived at noon, it seems like they were still setting up for the Jazz Brunch. I wasn't really sure of the dynamic of how it was supposed to go. I'm not sure if reservations are required or if you had to tell them specifically that you wanted to do the Jazz Brunch. They set up the music in the bar area, which is tucked away in a corner on the side of the restaurant. We were seated in the main dining area. Therefore, we didn't get to experience the music aspect of it. Nevertheless, I ordered the Spicy Mango Mule for my drink and had the Salted Caramel French Toast with a side of bacon. I have no complaints about the food or drinks. Our server was nice and efficient. I would return to Skylark Diner again.

A friend invited me to hang out on a Friday and recommended we check out Skylark because she said she heard the food was amazing and that after 9pm they opened the "lounge" section where there was a DJ and I said I was in! Upon entering you see the traditional diner to your left and the lounge area to the right and when asked the host shared that we could order food and drinks in the lounge and stay as long as we liked listening to the DJ so we went with that option. The lounge is dimly lit and has the perfect grown and sexy Friday night fun vibe as the bar in the lounge was full with people talking and the DJ was already playing music. Our server immediately greeted us and took our cocktail orders while we looked over the extensive menu. There were true diner offerings even in the lounge so if you wanted pancakes with your music and appletini it was possible lol. We ordered a few appetizers and a shared entree (mozzarella triangles, calamari, bang bang shrimp and short rib ravioli) and every single thing was DELICIOUS! We each had food this take home as well. We literally stayed for 3 hours after finishing our meal listening to music and dancing because the DJ was that good and because more people flowed in throughout the evening. Skylark is definitely a great lowkey Friday night vibe and we will be back!

The service was good and our waitress was nice. The food was delicious and I was definitely feeling the lavender mimosa afterwards. Maybe because I'm a light weight. But when eating out always remember to double check your bill just in case there are any extra charges on your bill. Because our bill had an extra $20 for some apple juice that we didn't even order. The waitress was cool about it and took it off right away. But this just reminded me to always double check my bill because normally I don't check it thoroughly and just hand over my card and not look at the itemized list of what was ordered.

I've passed by this diner for years & have been curious. The outside always looked so futuristic & interesting. We grabbed dinner here after an event on Saturday. They have private parking and most of the spots were taken. They were very busy ( most folks were at their Halloween party inside ) It room a few minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us and to get seated. Once we sat, our waiter Jeremy was sweet and helpful. I ordered an amaretto sour ( one their fall specials ) but was disappointed when it came in a small plastic cup. We were informed they stopped serving drinks in glasses after 9pm but other tables were getting drinks in martini glasses. I liked my sandwich and Jeremy was nice enough to turn it into a panini at my request.I was put off by my dirty water glass. I'm not sure if I'll be back ...

Over the years, friends and family have always shared with me how much they enjoy going to Skylark. It has been a staple in central Jersey since the early 2000s, and I have never been..ever. Welp, that changed last week! It has a retro vibe when you first walk in, great lighting, with booths lining the windows. They also have a lounge and full bar area towards the rear. The manager, Simone, greeted us with a warm smile when we first walked in. We were seated in the lounge at a half booth on a quiet Friday evening. I spotted one couple at the bar and maybe just one other couple seated at a different half booth, and then there was my party of three. There were also several high top tables available, but we preferred the booth seating. We ordered buffalo wings for the table, and I ordered the grilled ribeye cheesesteak sandwich. I enjoyed everything I tried and would order again. The fries were especially tasty with a nice crunch, but everything was good. I was doing more talking than eating therefore didn't have a lot of the cheesesteak, so I will need to order it again on my next visit. Around 8 or 9 pm, the lounge began to transform into a more nightlife vibe and people began to trickle in. Lights were now dimmed, the DJ is all set up and turning up the volume on some R&B hits. Our server explained that on Friday and Saturday nights, Skylark closes at 1 am which makes for a great night spot for people looking to get out of the house and have a good time. At this point of the night, the tables are first come first serve; however, you can reserve a seat for $50 ($200 for a party of four). The cost to reserve does include whatever food/drink you decide to order. You do not have to reserve a seat, but I have seen videos of how quickly the space fills up. On Friday nights, the DJ plays more 80s, 90s, early 2000s R&B. On Saturday nights, it is more current R&B. And they offer a jazz brunch on Sundays, possibly from 12-4p. If the manager sees my review and would like to correct me on any of my details, please do. I didn't have my pen and pad : ) We headed out before the party started, but I did get a taste of what was to come and the plan is to return for some of their events which are posted in advance on their instagram. I will update my review upon my return!

I met up with a friend to check out the Sunday Jazz & R&B. Unfortunately it was lacking the music. We came in after the starting the time of 12 and didn't hear any music. We were seated and proceeded with chatting and looking over the menu. We both ordered the spicy mango mule which we both enjoyed. It seemed most of the spice however settled on the bottom and didn't get a true kick until we were sipping up the last bit. We eventually heard faint music that we knew was coming from the bar area. I ordered the short rib hash toast amd she ordered the salted caramel French toast. Bother were pretty generous portions. I liked how the bread was toasted, and the hash was delicious. The salad was a nice pairing with it. While we were leaving, we saw a dj that was playing the music, but there was no energy at all in the area. The music was more background than the main attraction.

Sub par at best. We were looking for a place to eat after the vintage market at the Edison convention center. We came here as it looked exciting from the outside . Well looks are deceiving. I ordered the Mediterranean salad. Lettuce I could tell came from a prepackaged bag as it was wet and wilted. Chicken was rubbery like it was frozen not to mention small portion. Doesn't live up to the words on their website "superior ingredients = better food, better taste" . My friend ordered the chicken sandwich, was loaded with too much sauce and there was barely any fries. Not really a lot of quality and value for the price. I don't recommend this place, find something better. Highly disappointed

This place is crazy for charging gratuity on one drink and its Standing room only When its a venue. It is already concluded on your receipt so there is no reason to tip cause they already got it. Oh and it's high $14 came to 20.26 for one drink. Tipped an extra $3

We went to Skylark Diner and Lounge for breakfast and had a nice experience overall. My husband ordered the huevos rancheros, and I had the California scrambler. The cranberry bread was a standout--absolutely delicious! However, the huevos rancheros could have used a bit more spice to elevate the flavors. On the other hand, I'd definitely order the California scrambler again. The diner is a bit pricey for the area and the food we had, but the quality and ambiance made it enjoyable. Worth a visit if you're looking for a good breakfast spot!

Yesterday was my first time checking out Skylark despite me passing by it hundreds of times over the years. I had the burger with blue cheese and a generous amount of fries. It was quite delicious. I also tasted the chicken parm sandwich which was huge! The chicken was tender and the sauce was very flavorful. I had an Arnold Palmer that had just the right amount of lemonade vs iced tea. Our server was delightful as well so I would be happy to return.

I have loved the diner for a long time. Today I went there for lunch and I was surprised that prices are crazy high to eat there. In the past I ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon and that was about $16.95, today it was $18.00 just for pancakes and another $16.95 for the eggs, home fries and bacon so total was $47.95 with coffee ant tip. For this prices, I would prefer going to cheesecake factory...

Earlier today, my boyfriend and I visited the Skylark Diner in Edison. We went around 5:30 pm. The diner was directly on Route 1, so it was easy to get minus the sharp turn into the parking lot. The parking lot wrapped around the building, but was quite full. The outside of the diner looks straight out of Back to the Future, retro, yet modern. The building is abstract in shape with neon accents. When we walked in I was surprised at the interior. The building is HUGE and larger than stereotypical diners. the ceilings were high with modern accent lighting. The traditional elements of booth seating and counter/stool seating bring that vintage feel. The neon lighting accents tie the inside and outside together. Additionally, I was surprised at the size of the bar. Before going to the Skylark I knew they had a bar, but I did not realize is was a full size wrap around bar in its own room. This is a unique element! After walking in there was little to no wait at the host stand before we were approached by a gentleman in a suit (a nice touch!). Upon being seated, we were greeted by our server Kyle. Kyle was attentive and pleasant but the service was nothing exceptional. The menu had a number of options, ranging from traditional burgers to vegetarian bowls. I ordered the Southwest Chicken Panini - a Panini with chicken, pepper jack cheese, smoked bacon, and chipotle mayo. It was delicious and the sweet potato fries were top notch. My boyfriend ordered the Southwest Bowl - a rice bowl with blackened chicken, sliced avocado, pico de gallo, salsa verde, and black beans. He said it was, "very good, very hot (temperature wise) , and the chicken was seasoned excellently." Overall, the Skylark Diner is a visually stimulating experience bringing nostalgia and retro vibes. The food ranges in price and some items were more expensive than you would expect. The portion sizes were enough for two though, so maybe its worth it! I would definitely go back again if in the area!

Well I actually I can't give a full review because I ended up leaving. I called they advised it was about an hr wait I informed her we was literally in line for valet and asked if she could put my name down as they don't take reservations she said no I don't know that you are in the parking lot.So how would I know you have valet. We go in and there was not an hour wait we actually sat on the bar side immediately. We waited about 15 mins before the waitress came over and finally ordered. I heard her tell another table they were out of waffles so I asked to confirm and she said yes we are like what are you kidding me first it's only 2pm secondly you have an entire brunch menu offering waffles how do you run out of waffles. Not to mention she never said anything to us okay then I wanted to order the lobster rolls she quickly said we are out like are you kidding me so all in all. We ended up leaving due to this. Which was very disappointing. I will not return.

This place has changed so much since the last time. Perhaps changed owner ‍. There's lots of young waiters. I ask my waitress of what's popular on the menu since bkfts items were limited. She had no clue. All she said was she never tasted any items. Shame on management. How do you expect to make $$ or succeed. I orders the eggs Benedict and it didn't look appealing. Taken a bite and not to my liking!! No flavor at all. Home fries looked like it was the end of what was left. Hard and crispy. I left it and will never come back. Our waitress never passed to Check on us.

Skylark food and service has always been great, but this was my first time back in over ten years. Walking in reminded me of the good times we had back then, especially since it was unique, a diner with a full bar that serves awesome drinks. Carolina iced teas used to be our jam so we gave it a go again for nostalgia sake. Inside: just what I remembered but SUPER quiet. No music or lively bar crown like I remembered but hey, it was the day before Thanksgiving. Regardless, meeting up with old friends in a familiar place was great. The food is phenomenal, super tasty dishes and I enjoyed my pasta a lot. Service was great, super attentive and gave recommendations. Asked if they had Carolina iced teas and they obliged which was great. Not the same taste as what I remembered but close enough. I'm pretty sure the truck is to used Brisk iced tea instead of Lipton. Either way, still good and had a great dinner. Just wish it had more of a lively ambiance because it was as quiet as a library lol

This review is only for the bar and lounge section of this restaurant. I'll have to try food sometimes and then rewrite this review again later . Very nice location . Right in RT1 . Lots of parking available . We went around 7.45 pm and they said the restaurant is closing , even though google said they are open till 9pm.. there were people in bar and lounge and we had to talk to three different people for us to go in. We left in 10-15 mins after a quick drink. Beer selection was good . They had few beers on tap. I liked Stella . Price wise it was ok. About 5$ per .. not bad .. loved the atmosphere inside . Service could be better but it was ok. Overall , it could be better .

Skylark Diner in Edison, NJ - where I ended up going solo for dinner. Picture this: me, alone, embracing the art of solitude while sipping on a cappuccino - very European . The black bean burger was an absolute maestro in the culinary world - taste buds, take a bow. ‍ The ambiance was not your conventional "diner" label and went for an atmosphere that screams CHILL date night. I felt like I stumbled into a hidden a romantic rendezvous, and the fine dining service was the cherry on top - who knew a diner could pull off elegance with such flair? I do now ! The cleanliness at The Skylark takes it to a whole new level. It's so pristine you could eat off the floor - although, why do that when you have a menu that has so many options to choose from. Skylark Diner, you've raised the diner game to an art form. 5/5 stars, and a standing ovation for turning my solo dining into a culinary masterpiece!

Great diner ! Hugh end eatery. Get selection with attentive service. Plenty of parking with convenient highway location. My Cobb salad was full of meat and proteins. High end diner look.

We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and didn't have to wait for a table. Service was quick and friendly and we all loved the decor inside! I would strongly recommend going on a weekend to take advantage of the brunch menu; we split the birria tacos and a California scramble and I would order both of those again and again!

We had two $15 off coupons we were told by one of the office people Suzanne we could use both but only one was accepted at the table It is supposed to be an upscale diner with the food was average Plus ordered two eggs over medium and they came out hard or overcooked kept them anyway Plus the prices are kind of high for what you get

We love Skylark Diner. We have been coming since it first opened and have never been disappointed. They have seasonal menus that are varied and we definitely enjoy them. They have a great mixologist in Brooke and her creations are so good. Can't wait until we return.

The Skylark is a very popular destination for hungry Edisonians, especially those who like to drink - because there's a full bar and unlike other diners in NJ, their bartenders make excellent mixed drinks. With that said, the food is good but I feel that it's a tad overpriced for the portion size.

What a enjoyable lunch I had with several friends yesterday. I have food allergies and the server made sure everything I ordered was safe for me to eat. She was an outstanding server and took very good care of our party of six. I wish I had asked her name! My omelette was huge, the side salad very fresh and definitely will enjoy my leftovers today. The ambiance, the service, the food all made for a very nice experience. Can't wait to go back again, and now that I know you carry gluten free bread will try a sandwich next visit.
