Golden Dawn Diner

The Golden Dawn has been around for years with good reason --- it's an old school Jersey diner that still provides 'value." You get good food, well-prepared, excellent service, and fair prices. AND: if you're lucky, you'll get Karen as your server. She is a real pro and lots of fun. On a recent visit my wife had a waffle with a fried egg while I had a breakfast wrap with fried potatoes (see photo). We both had coffee and the total bill came to . . . about $30!

The food is always consistent, the turkey club is my go to because they use fresh sliced turkey, no lunch meat here. The burgers are always good as well. Last night my husband got the quesadilla and absolutely loved it. We’ve been coming here since the diner opened many many years ago, but the reason I am doing this review today is because of the outstanding server that we had last night. This man makes dining there with kids of fun experience. We had a two year-old and a 10 year-old last night and he jokes with them laughs with them and even made them toys out of placemats. In the car on the way home the 10-year-old, who is lately pretty hard to impress, said I wanna go back there, we had the best server ever. He was absolutely right.

My partner and I visted this diner today along with our 2 children. The diner has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff was friendly and the service was fast and efficient. We were a family of 4, and spent $50.00. I would recommend this place to everyone!

From the outside of the building it was questionable weather or not I wanted to go inside, it really needs some updates. On the plus side there were a lot of cars in the parking lot and a customer going in at the same time. I asked him if he has been at the diner previously and he had said that he has and the food was good. Well he was right, the food is fresh and it was good. I will certainly go back when I’m in the area again. Please fix the building!

If you like diner food you'll be very happy here. The atmosphere is the real winner here. A real old school New Jersey diner that hasn't changed the interiors since the 70s. Feels like you're stepping back in time to platform shoes and bell bottoms. Friendly staff and great service😊
