Mary Russo SimeoneNovember 23, 2013Great place to stop and eat. 50's themed diner with good prices, good food and great atmosphere. 50/'s music, memorabilia and car in the center of dining area. Must do in Sussex County.
BrittanyDecember 17, 2015Amazing food. Amazing place overall. Went here out of curiosity & was amazed by the inside. Everyone needs to try this place at least once.
I've tried everything on the menu & I keep going back for more. Car show nights are definitely a must. Gr8 food, gr8 atmosphere, gr8 cars, plus gr8 music.Nights Doc South is broadcasting is awesome.
嘉豪 徐August 17, 2014What a place! A must stop when in Sussex County for a day trip! Hands down the best place to have a dinner after a great day up in the great Northwest New Jersey!
Catherine Van WinkleApril 23, 2016The food is really good here, and so is the service. They also have some really fantastic memorabilia from the 50's and 60's! Love it!
Order the kielbasa rueben with a side of baked beans (infused with bacon).
The milkshakes are the best!!! We come here every year and look forward to their shakes.
Neil MarucaDecember 10, 2016Great atmosphere! Like being in a 1950s car hop. Kielbasa Rueben was good, and sides were excellent- They keep coming out with great New things to eat making it to hard to choose what I want.
Mark Neurohr-PierpaoliAugust 29, 2015Try the Hot Dog "All The Way" - Hot Dog "All the Way" at the Chatterbox Drive-In. (via @Foodspotting)
Kari HansenNovember 24, 2012Delicious food and enjoyable for the whole family! I recommend the honey chicken sandwich - get it every time!- Forgot to say. How many places have you gone to where the owner goes to every table asking how everything is. Perfect touch!
- If you're getting a milkshake, ask for it "malted" for that old fashioned goodness.
Sophia Del CidAugust 28, 2016Come on Saturdays in the summer, when they have their cruise night. Food is good.
VickieSeptember 10, 2013Love the Wanders salad and love that the have a diet soda other then coke or Pepsi!
remy xtinJune 5, 2011If you have a shellfish allergy make sure to tell your server BEFORE you order. Everything is usually fried in the same oil however, they will change the oil :)
The pulled pork sandwich is delicious. Especially when washed down with a chocolate shake.
Great burgers, fries and even the lobster roll - a must for rural NJ road trips.
Honey Chicken Sandwich and a Cherry Coke never fails! I always get it!
- I really miss this place. I wish they didn't close
Try the double dog and a shake. Get one cheese and one chili and share the love!
Chelsea DerpSeptember 9, 2012Deep fried hotdog? Definitely not. And a salad on the side? Sry it was like half wilted being placed under my hotdog. The place is mediocre at best, I was really excited after i read previous reviews.
ELOQUENT STUDIOSNovember 5, 2010Great place! Should have been called Arnold's since Fonzarelli's is right next door!
KGS💥September 3, 2012Can't believe they gave me a loaded buttox of shrimp when I axed for a boatload of shrimp
Get a burger with curly fries & a root beer float. Say hi to Maria-Elena!
EdwardAugust 29, 2010Terrible experience. I parked in the middle of chatterbox now they won't let me take my car out anymore. I thought it was VIP parking.
- EdwardSeptember 3, 2012Day 736: Car is still in Chatterbox. The people are nice but I don't know how much of this music I can take!! Help!!

"We were here for the Big Brew Fest. We had a great time. The grounds were well kept. Plenty of parking available for the event. We'd definitely come back."
Christopher Lewis - 6.8
"The cook is a competition BBQ winner. If the BBQ shows up on the menu of the day, get it. It's real BBQ, smoked slow & sublime, and the best in these parts. Both pulled pork & brisket were delicious."
What's Good Here - 6.2
"Seriously, if you are thinking about going inside...Please Do! Rediculous low prices, friendly people & HD TV displays, awesome service. Time to go to that good old Sam Walton' place!!! :0)"
