Time to Eat Diner

Classic Jersey diner with a huge menu. We stopped in for breakfast and it was very good. I opted for the Breakfast Quesadilla and it was great! It had scrambled eggs, bacon and Jack Cheese topped with salsa. And the platter included hash browns (see photo). And very important in order to be a great Jersey diner --- the coffee is excellent!

My FAVORITE diner. 👍 👌 The owners are AWESOME. ❤️ Peter at the register, always a good story. The waitors, waitresses are SUPER nice and know their menu inside out. The food is excellent and the portions are very generous. Mom and I go there quite often. BEST part about a diner, can eat breakfast anytime of the day, those omelets, too die for and don't forget the blueberry pancakes 😋 The diner is very clean and the service is fast. THANK YOU Time to eat!!! ❤️ Bev & Elisabeth xo

Great diner! Sharon, our waitress, was exceptional and made the experience just wonderful. She was thoughtful, made sure our kids were always taken care of (even when the place was very busy!) and had a constant smile on her face. We felt so lucky that she was taking care of us.

Very disappointed in the service we received today. I have been to this diner plenty of times in the past and the food and service have always been great. Unfortunately, i cannot say the same about my visit today. The food was good but the server left much to be desired when it came to service and hospitality. We had finished our meal and were working on finishing our drinks while wrapping up a meeting and the waitress approached us with our check and told us she needed the booth cleaned off for other customers who were waiting to be seated. Normally, i would understand these types of scenarios, but as i looked around while i stood at the register i realized there was entire room with many other available seats. I questioned the young lady at the register why I was asked to move when there was so much seating space available and she said we could stay and finish our drinks without a problem. At that point, I expressed that I did not feel comfortable enough to stay there and she kindly offered to move us to a table in the empty room to finish our drinks and meeting. The rest of the visit ended up being okay but I was very disappointed we were treated like anything less than paying customers. Needless to say I will not be returning here and will taking my business to one of the many other diners in the area.

Went in for some breakfast before work and the restaurant was clean, the food was fantastic (quite pricey in my opinion, but hey its 2026), the only thing that really caused me to leave with a bad impression was the hospitality of the waitresses. They by no means were mean or rude but they definitely weren't friendly either. Apart from my order details and a single cold “everything good?” not a single word or attempt at small talk or smile was given and 2/3 into my meal and the waitress already had the bill in front of me despite the diner not even being at full capacity to explain the rushing me out. Customers don't spend almost $25 on 3 pancakes, eggs, and sausage because they enjoy eating. They're looking for warm smiles, some kindness, friendly banter and small talk along with their meal. The diner experience. Sadly, great food or not, first impressions still matter so, personally, I wont be returning. If something like that doesnt matter to you, I highly recommend this restaurant. Great, freshly made food.

I think the food is always good when I stop in plus Friendly service 👍

Large space with plenty of seating and a huge menu. I got the huevos rancheros w hash browns and it is a pass. The huevos rancheros were ok. The hash browns were so disappointing. They were so bland and I know it was just shredded potatoes but even with so much salt, pepper and ketchup I just couldn’t eat them. Not sure what it was.

A great Jersey Diner at the Summerville Circle. I like stopping here when I come back to visit the family. Tonight I stopped in about 10:55ish, ~35 minutes before closing and the owner greeted me at the counter with warmth and hospitality. I asked if it was too late for a plate of disco fries (I've worked in restaurants when I was younger and remember the feeling of last minute customers.) He said not at all, and got my order to the kitchen right away. I initially declined a drink, but his hospitality came back out and he said "are you sure you don't want at least a glass of water?" I did accept. The fries and gravy were out pretty quick. I dug in right away, and the owner (now sitting a few sears down the counter and continuing to greet customers) glanced over and figured they looked a bit dry and could use some more gravy, which he kindly offered. We chatted a bit about Poutine (Canada's dish of fries, gravy, and cheese curds,) which he's interested in trying out. The disco fries hit the spot of course, and I'll be looking forward to coming back on my next visit back to Jersey. I think this is what makes Time to Eat Diner so special - the warmth and hospitality. These are wonderful people serving Jersey comfort food, and they love seeing their customers well taken care of. I wish them many more decades of good business. Thanks, guys!
