One of my all-time favorite NJ diners. Friendly staff and classic diner food (with a Greek spin). Be sure to get the seasoned waffle fries!Upvote5Downvote- Carlo CantamessaMay 26, 2017Very good place for lunch. Great specials, with soup, drink and huge brownie for dessert with each special sandwich. Highly recommend!Upvote3Downvote
Have always enjoyed my meals here. Normal have 6+ people & staff has been nothing but pleasant. (Perhaps our habit of tipping at least 35% helps! 😁)Upvote2Downvote

Kids meals get a free ice cream dessert... but don't dare ask the folks at Matthews Diner to have it to go. They flat out refuse and get nasty!UpvoteDownvote

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The best diner in Bergen County!Upvote2Downvote
Zaq SchlangerJune 30, 2014Strawberry milkshake is very artificial and I doubt there is Ice cream in it. Coleslaw is sweet cabbage and disgusting. Do not recommend very highlyUpvoteDownvote
My mom dragged me here today and I gave it a second chance. The food was cold, service was slow and it's not even busy. Matthews blowZUpvoteDownvote
I love how the food comes out so fast!! :)UpvoteDownvote- The service was terrible. I don't appreciate having to wait when it's not even busy. Not returning here.UpvoteDownvote
