Had a few hours to kill, before picking up at the Cruise port. Chose Broadway diner after doing a Google search, and their being advertised as being the World's best pancakes. I ordered banana, chocolate, pecan pancakes with side of bacon. Two thumbs up, and all the fingers!!! MIGHT be the best pancakes I've ever had. Moist, fluffy, flavorful. The service was great and the diner was very clean. Will go again. Added to my map favorites.
Classic New Jersey diner experience with large menu. Delicious roasted chicken and cranberry salad. Generous portions. Well seasoned. Good value.
Old school dinner that covers everything. I went there with friends ordered ham&cheese, French toast and Jersey sandwich. The spotlight is the seasonal special Pumpkin Pancake! Good service and vibe, spacious!
Very happening hot spot. It was my first time visiting and everything was great, had lunch. When I was asked the next day where I wanted to go for breakfast... umm Broadway diner again? Banana pancakes were absolutely scrumptious . Highly recommend!!
I had an amazing experience at Broadway Diner thanks to Sarah. We arrived right before closing, but she welcomed us with a warm smile and took excellent care of my family. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, even with the late hour. The food was delicious, and her service truly made the evening special. Highly recommend this place, especially if you’re lucky enough to be served by Sarah! Thank you for such a great experience!
I was here twice. The first time I thought the food was pretty average. The second time I thought it was a lot better. Just have to try different things to see what is good. Our waitress was really nice. Super attentive and got the answers to all of our questions. The atmosphere is a normal, quaint and comfortable diner atmosphere. The booths are nice, if people sit behind you, you don’t feel them getting up and down which is nice. I got the filet mignon special for $24 that night. It was two 4oz medallions with 2 sides, and a salad. That’s a great deal. The steak was a first cut, so not the fancy center cut but that’s fine. The meat was tender. Only one part had a vein and was grizzly but that’s what you get with the first cut of a filet. The one thing was it was all very very salty. They put too much salt in it. I liked the cheese and the sautéed onions on top. I got the broccoli, I can tell it was frozen broccoli steamed but it was fine. I would have preferred fresh. Baked potato was good. My husband got the spicy crab bisque special soup and the mussels cavatelli. The mussels were excellent for $16. It looked like more than 2 dozen mussels and with pasta in a tomato cream sauce. Mussels where plump and fresh and cooked perfectly, not chewy at all. The pasta was Al dente and also perfect and the sauce was mild and creamy and delicious. It also came with a salad, he got the Caesar salad. Dressing was really good and not too salty, and the cheese on top was good as well. Sometimes Caesar salads can be stinky or really strong like anchovies and cheese but this was not and it was really good. My mom enjoyed her big Greek salad with grilled chicken on top. So big she couldn’t finish it. My dad didn’t like his burger though. It said 8oz and it was definitely not 8. It was flattened and thin and was more like 6oz. The fries were also very very greasy and soggy. Maybe the oil in deep fryer wasn’t at right temp. But I was reading other reviews that say the same thing about the fries and the burger. The waitress brought bread to the table which was really nice and also gave my dad 2 pickles and coleslaw which was also really nice. Double chocolate cake was good. I liked the outside with the chocolate flakes. But it was a little dry and had a odd chemical aftertaste. It was kind of busy on a Saturday at 6 for dinner. Next time I want to try their famous pancakes. Overall very happy with the experience, our waitress was amazing and food was decent and super well priced. Best things were Caesar salad and mussels that we had.
