Owner and staff were very welcoming and it genuinely felt like they wanted us to leave satisfied and content. I indeed did, and when I finished my meal and left I continued the day in a very positive mood

Had the chicken cutlet sub with lettuce tomato mayo with a cold tin of Pepsi. Really tasty. Chicken was perfect. At $8.55 thought it was great value. Comfy chairs and the place is very clean. Also friendly and has quick timely service. Will definitely be back. Can also see some great cooked plate options available also. Can’t fault.

Found this establishment on Google search, saw reviews score of 4.2. Wasn’t sure about eating there, but I tried it anyway. OMG, INCREDIBLE, great food, and excellent service. There must be some mistake, 4.2? no way. I’m looking forward to eating there again

No longer Annabellas Kichen, this spot was taken over by new management recently and the new name is COMEDY DINER. Been to this spot many times, former owners ran it down, interior was a wreck, menu and food not good at all. Recently visited newly renovated “Comedy Diner”, one of the Owners John was there, was excited about what I can only call an Amazing transition. New kitchen, New Menu, and a New Comedy Club/Dining Room. The transformation is amazing. Ordered an Egg/Bacon/Cheese breakfast sandwich…no other words but thick and delicious. These guys are going with the flow of the University City resurgence in Newark and doing a great job!

I got chocolate chip prank cakes, Italian deluxe sandwich, French toast, eggs and turkey sausage. The place is family own and and the food is delicious

This is a double meat sandwich from this spot. And they forgot the cheese. Who the hell orders a Taylor ham and egg sandwich ? The dude even verified what I ordered. Their new management is absolutely terrible. I went a month ago and it sucked so I gave it time for them to get settled in and went back today. The worst sandwich I ever seen. I threw it against the wall and I’ll never go back.

Renamed the Comedy Diner, Hidden comedy club in the back of a casual restaurant has fun comedy shows in an area where there’s not a lot to do. The second and 4th Saturday’s there are shows for only $5 where you can watch or do an open mic spot at 6pm. Fries are tasty.
