I walked in and was greeted and sat by the manager. We were served by Caterina and she was cool. We started with drinks and my manager got an uptown and I got homemade lemonade and it was very tasty. For my meal I got the vegetable stir fry. They don't have this on the menu but I got the chicken teriyaki rice without the chicken. It was very tasty. My manger

I had my very first french onion soup...ordered empandas (which were delicious), also got a philly cheesesteak sandwich...nachos...and skirtsteak with mash potatoes and sauted spinach. Each meal was well executed and absolutely delicious. Plus, I have a super sensitive tummy and didn't experience any stomach issues so I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning again. The waiter was reall

There isn’t much to be done about the parking lot, short of tearing down Dunkin’ Donuts, but that was really my only issue. The place is clean, the staff is great and the food is good. What more could I ask for? …. Besides funky metal sculptures out front!!

We didn't have to wait ling for some one to come take our other. There were 5 of us. We did not have to wait too long for our door either. We order sweet potatoes and short ribs meat with melted cheese on top. My mouth water just thinking about it. The burger were perfectly cook to temperature. Medium just as I asked. THE fries were tosty on the out side and juicy in the inside. Búfalo wings

Food and drinks are overpriced compared to other better places in the area.

I do not want to go to a diner in NJ to hear Spanish music blasting while I 'm trying to eat. 2 The price and service that comes with it. A I 'm all about diversity and ambiance, but I can 't find anyone I work with that wants to hear that music blasting away at 10pm in a place where the music at best should be "white noise ' in the background. It doesn 't need to be Muzak, contemporary mainstream would be fine. B The prices for what you get are not worth the visit Paying $67 (tip not included) for an omelet a sandwich and 1 drink is crazy. Especially when all I hear is Spanish being yelled all over the restaurant and my server still gets the order wrong half the time. People behind the counter too busy being on their phone instead of addressing the client. It 's sad to see it went so far downhill I blame Management! Ownership needs to take some blame on this too! I am not alone in this opinion, as customers I was dining next to, and also some of my co workers have commented on the same things. Sorry to say I will be going to Wawa or trying to find another place to grab some food from now on unless I hear they change this stuff up.

The two young ladies behind the counter were incompetent and created a line about 5 parties long. Then I gave the bartender $40 for a $37 meal and she didn’t give me change. If you have any decency, Venmo me back the $3 and I vow to change my review. Service: 1

The parking situation might not be ideal, unless they remove the Dunkin' Donuts, but that was really my only issue. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the dining experience is enjoyable. What more could I ask for? Plus, there are funky metal sculptures located at the front of the restaurant!

I ordered the French onion soup, Philly cheesesteak sandwich, nachos, and a rock steak with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Every dish was delicious and well-prepared. I didn't have any issues with my sensitive stomach, so I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning. The waiter was excellent, making sure we were happy with our food without being intrusive. He even went out of his way to provide a strawberry milkshake for my friend, even though it wasn't on the menu. This used to be my go-to spot before the pandemic, and the complimentary olive oil bread is still amazing. Overall, a great dining experience at the Chit Chat Diner.
