I had my best dining experience in jersey city at this restaurant. Service is superb very friendly and attentive people work here. Food portions are generous and delicious. Take out and delivery packed carefully. Salads, omelets are super fresh and so healthy for my daily meal. Love their eggs so much. Delivery is always acutely satisfying.

I went to this place 3 days in a row cause the food is simply exceptional! I loved their shrimp quesadilla, sweet potatoes fries is just a BIG hit, and their Cobb salad. I wasn’t a big fan of the steak (when I topped my salad off with it) nor the short ribs, but everything else was just PERFECT!!

1st time eating here. Everything was amazing. Not only was the food great, the service was great, dining room was very clean. If I'm ever back in NJ this will be my 1st stop.

Highly recommend City Diner in Jersey City. The prices are great, and it feels very homey and friendly inside the restaurant. Expect some crowds during peak hours, but the service is great regardless of the crowds. The pancakes and the iced lattes are incredible :), and the Nutella French toast is delicious!

Checked this place out and the food was so good! Ended up visiting it two different times in a week. Portions are huge and pancakes perfect and fluffy and the potatoes seasoned so good too. The second time around, my husband and I shared a plate because the portions are huge. Priced pretty good too.

Edit: It seems there was a misunderstanding with the tips. Owner Lefteris was very meticulous in clearing things up and have promptly refunded us. We really appreciate this, so definitely giving this place a full 5 stars. We really LOVED the food, it was our first trip to Jersey City and our first time trying American diner food and this place was a great start to the trip. Really liked the corned beef and hash, goes perfectly well with some hotsauce, and washed down with a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. Will definitely be back if we are in the area!

This is our go-to spot for breakfast, brunch, or really any casual meal in Jersey City. We first ordered on Uber Eats and loved it so much we had to try it in person and it did not disappoint. They have great booths, solid cocktails, and a comfortable vibe. We always have a great time here, which is why we keep coming back

GREAT VALUE; GREAT OLD DINER AMBIENCE. At 11am on Saturday, this place is bustling! Very proud to have a great ol' American diner in JC! The staffs are kind and courteous. The owner is walking around to make sure all is good. The food was good. Ordered omelette venetian ($20), egg plates ($16), Apple waffle ($18). A little bit pricey but hey the experience is worth it. Total came out to be $87 with tips plus 2.5% credit card processing fee. Would recommend this place to my friends
