Stopped in on the way back to the city and was pleasantly surprised this place was on Triple D. Fairly empty when we were there and the service was prompt and friendly.

We have lived in the area for about 3 years and this was our first time at this diner. The reviews were great which is why we decided to give it a try.

Great service. Good prices. Cute town. Good food. Only thing would be the kids burger was pink. I wasn’t asked for a temp. Typically mid well is the temp standard for kid burgers and this was barely mid rare.

Stopped by travelling through, found a great diner! French onion soup was great, not too salty. Excellent fries. I had the Greek wrap, it was delicious! Rest of the party also were pleased with their meals. Service was friendly and efficient. Swing by if you’re in the area!

My wife is forever on the lookout for a good dinner that has pie for dessert. Hightstown Diner had that and then some! They have a good Matzo Ball soup, I had a really good chicken Rueben sandwich, my daughter had pancakes and they were great. We also had carrot cake, it’s my daughter’s favorite, it was delicious, especially with a cup of coffee. We need to figure out an excuse to go back as it isn’t close to us.

Wow! My daughter and I stopped in for a lite lunch, and are we ever glad that we did! What a wonderful hometown diner! We ordered soup & sandwiches, neither which disappointed! The corn chowder was excellent! I actually picked up my bowl to finish off every last drop! The matzo ball soup was equally delicious! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Very polite and attentive waiting staff. Food presentation and taste, top line. Quick and painless. My family and i enjoyed the quaint rustic dinner atmosphere. Only disdain comes with the cleanliness and order of the bathrooms. In need of a remodel in the bathroom. It would be nice to see a remodel or update of the dining area, but it is not necessary. Typically packed, so punctuality for preferred parking a must. It’s been my go-to on the weekend for breakfast

Small town’s diner. The place looks like an icon in the town. It isn’t far from center of Downtown Hightstown. The food was typical of a diner. Nothing really bad to say about flavor. The portion looked planned out. Me and the wife ordered fries with food and we could probably count the amount of fries on one hand. Something I don’t expect in other diners I have been to. Service was medium. Staff were all busy.
