Had the most delicious Pesto Chicken Wrap. Great curly fries! My son loved his children's cheeseburger, which was huge! Ex-wifes salad was the biggest salad I've ever seen. It was an extremely busy Sunday afternoon but we were taken care of perfectly! Wish we lived closer. I would be here all the time!

Great Spot After Work – Pleasant Surprise at Edison Diner While visiting the Edison, New Jersey area, a coworker recommended we check out the Edison Diner. After wrapping up a half-day of work on a Saturday, we decided to give it a shot. The diner wasn’t overly busy, but it had a steady crowd — a good sign. The staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome right away. The menu is huge, which made me a little cautious (so many options can be hit or miss), but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We started with the calamari, which was excellent — crispy, well-seasoned, and not overcooked. For my main, I went with the Thai steak salad. While the steak itself wasn’t the highest quality cut, the flavor and the salad underneath really made the dish shine. Prices were in the mid-range ($20–$30), but considering the generous portions, it felt justified. Overall, a solid local spot with friendly service and better-than-expected food. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The Edison Diner is an absolute New Jersey classic—serving the community since 1952, and it shows in every detail. • Fruit & Cottage Cheese Platter: Fresh, colorful, and beautifully presented with mango, kiwi, melon, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. A refreshing start! • Breakfast Special: Sunny-side eggs, golden hash browns, sausage, and some of the best bacon around—crispy, smoky, and thick-cut. • Pancakes: Big, fluffy, and cooked to perfection. True diner comfort food at its finest. • Sides: Scrambled eggs and bacon that taste just as good as they look—simple, done right. The vibe is everything you’d want in a diner: warm, bustling, with steaming mugs of coffee and friendly service that feels genuine. Verdict: This isn’t just a diner, it’s a destination worth the trip. Edison Diner proves that comfort classics, when done right, can be just as memorable as fine dining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly recommend!

I had such an amazing experience at this diner! From the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The menu is huge — honestly a little overwhelming at first — but in the best way, because there’s truly something for everyone. I ended up getting a sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone in my group loved their meals, and we all agreed the food was top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, great vibes, and a ton of options, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

Great dining experience and would definitely go back more often. They have a wide selection of options with a menu that makes you have to contemplate hard which one you want because there are so many things that catch your attention and have everything on the menu for anyone. Prices were good relative to portions and cost of items and food tastes really good. Was better than many other diners I have ate at in the past. Went with my vegetarian friend and he had no issue finding options that he can could eat like he does at many other places. The service was also really great and our waiter was very attentive to us the entire time and constantly checked up on us and helped us with whatever we needed. Overall great experience!

This diner is the definition of simple and satisfying. Stopped in during lunch while waiting for service to my car to be done. Ordered the matzah ball and a breakfast dish. The matzah ball soup really stood out to me and was delicious. Breakfast platter was standard across any diner. Beyond that, the menu offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone. Wasn’t busy but the server never checked in on us.

The family and I came back from a trip we spent at a Hindu temple in New Jersey.It was a wonderful experience.We stayed a hotel in Princeton NJ about 27 mins from the Temple.The following day on returning back to New York,we stopped by Edison Diner.We were greeted by friendly staff.The ambiance was beautiful,the inside looked refreshing and very welcoming.The food was great as well as the service.The portions were big.One thing they had that was unique,under the table was an outlet meant for plugging in and changing your cell phone,while you waited and ate your meal.If your in the neighborhood usually give them a try.
