Tops Diner

I really enjoy visiting here; the food is always delicious and beautifully presented. I do feel that the host department could make a little more effort to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, as they are the first people customers see. They aren’t intentionally unfriendly, but a bit more kindness could really make a difference. I've visited during both calm weekdays and bustling weekends, and the hosts maintain the same courteous attitude throughout. The servers have consistently been kind and attentive, and I appreciate their hard work, especially given how large the place is and how much running around they do. The food is genuinely fantastic with so many appealing options. I absolutely love the coffee selection—top quality all around. The lemon blueberry bread, steak and eggs, and tres leches French toast are just a few favorites; I could go on. Everything I’ve tried has been truly delicious. I look forward to coming back and enjoying this lovely place again.

Top's Diner is a place that you and your family can go for any occasion. The diner is nice and clean, kidsI’m kid-friendly Restaurant. I feel like Everything there is good if there’s something that you don’t like it’s always something else that you can order and you would like It the cornbread is to die for, and you must get some French toast. The only thing that I feel is missing is one in Manhattan. The music is great the waitress and waiters are a little slow but it's okay because the Diner gets very packed but it's all worth it.

Consistently ranked as one of the best diners in New Jersey and the country and deservedly so. The menu is extensive as one would expect, the food comes quickly, the coffee and water glasses are refilled often and the portions are large. The prices aren’t cheap but comparable to other Jersey diners. The dining room is large, clean and filled with energy. The space is retro chic but definitely modern due to the renovation so it’s fitting but definitely feels disneyfied because the ceilings are too tall the air circulation too good and the menus, booths and cutlery and utensils too new. Otherwise the food was good to great and well worth a visit. The fried chicken needed more seasoning. The sides needed more gravy or sauce but the chicken parm was great as were the triple decker sandwiches. We didn’t get the disco fries but they looked immense and tasty (seemed like every other table had them)!

I really enjoy coming here, food is delicious & beautifully designed. The host department could use a bit more welcoming energy being they are the first people customers interact with, they aren’t rude but they aren’t very polite. I’ve been here during the week when it’s calm & the weekend when its CRAZY & the hosts are the same either way. Servers so far have all been very good, the place is huge so there is more running around needed. The food is fantastic, so many options, the coffee selection is delicious, top quality all the way around. The lemon blueberry bread, the chorizo with A5 Wagyu, the tres leches french toast, l could keep going on. Everything l’ve tried has been delish. Will definitely keep coming back.

Wow! I don't know where to start! The food was amazing And the dishes are Extra large. ! The service was fast, nice and comfortable. The place is really beautiful and inviting. At first glance, you can tell that the place is really good. The menu is varied in dishes. And there is no one who won't find something to eat!!. I recommend it!!!!

Hands down the BEST! I haven’t had anything from here that hasn’t absolutely delicious! Their sweet potato fries, blueberry pancakes, tiramisu latte, and tres leches are actually New Jersey’s best. Amazing vibe, great service, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and there’s even a takeout option if you don’t have time to sit down. Highly highly recommend

Tops Diner was the nicest diner I’ve ever eaten in and on a Saturday night at 7 I felt overwhelmingly underdressed in a hoodie and scrubs even hidden in a corner at the bar. It didn’t stop me, and many looked like I did, but many more looked dressed up for a date or family outing. I admit I was expecting a classic diner, but this place is beautiful. Everyone was very friendly & attentive. I was greeted right away and never had to wait. Despite the fact that the place was packed, I found a parking spot in their enormous lot and had a drink in my hand minutes after being seated. There’s a full bar and the menu is still classics diner food. I had a BLT that was perfect and tres leches cake. If you’re in Newark looking for a good meal this place checks every box. It’s very clean, well staffed, fast service, tons of seating and parking.

First time here while visiting NY. Jeimy took great care of us and was so patient with our questions. The portions are generous, prices are competitive and food is delicious. The friend chicken is a must! Tres leches is huge - great to share. Short rib hash is filling and tasty. I would highly recommend trying.
