Summit Diner was founded in 1929 and is a classic O’Mahony dining-car-style diner. The diner remains true to these roots. The neighborly attitude, open grill behind the counter, and affable service all contribute to make this diner so special and a total blast from the past. It’s like stepping back into the 1900s. I went with a group of four and service could not have been more attentive or speedy. The coffee was constantly topped off. The diner is cash only, but there is an ATM across the street which is convenient. The food was hardy and delicious. I got the corned beef hash with eggs; the people in my party got a steak sandwich and breakfast platters. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their meals. They were delicious! I would definitely recommend getting something that allows you to sample their breakfast options. The pancakes, hash browns, bacon, and eggs were all very tasty.

I went here this morning with a group of friends and it has such a classic diner feel to it! If you’re a history buff, it was an original O’Mahoney diner car when it first opened. We were seated immediately in one of the booths, which were in a row along the window side of the diner. There was also the option of sitting at the bar on rows of stools and facing the open kitchen area where you could watch the chefs cooking the orders. We scanned a QR code to view the menu, which was simple and to the point (not overwhelmingly many options, but enough to feel content with classic diner food). One thing to be aware of is that the menu didn’t have prices listed on it. Our table started with coffee all around, and then I ordered a breakfast platter, with two pieces of French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and home fries (such great value for how much food came with it – literally two platefuls). The home fries were perfectly crispy, and tasted amazing with a little bit of Tabasco. The food came out so fast, the serving sizes were perfect and the food was delicious. Make sure you bring cash if you’re thinking of eating here because it is cash only!

Boxcar Diner perfection. Staff was fast and friendly, food was stellar with very generous servings & pricing that fits any budget, and the atmosphere was literally stepping into a bygone era. Like all great Diners, functional AND an experience.

On the advice of friends we visited on our last day. It was just great. All we expected from what we thought the traditional American Diner is. French toast with sausage was lovely. Myself, my wife and 4 children loved it. Thank you

This is my go to spot for breakfast in the area. It’s a traditional menu, they make it quick, and the atmosphere can’t be beat. They’re cash only so hit up the ATM before coming through. They have a chase bank right across the street in case you forget.

Iconic and classic NJ diner that has fast and yummy food. Bring cash and be prepared to sit at the counter as there only a few booths.

It’s a classic greasy spoon with old time charm and great people behind the counter. Food is very good with oversized portions.

Went there for a specific menu item, they were out, asked about another, out again. Server said they weren’t carrying many of there menu items because they close before dinner. They should update their menu then, then I ordered a chicken cutlwt sandwich and fries. The fries were good, the sandwich was eh at best the chicken was tough and and many places I couldn’t chew it. The roll was cold and it just was not the vibe then my bill came and it was 20 dollars. I cannot figure out why it was not itemized. l. The server was nice, but it took some time to get my drink. Wont return.
