A while ago, I wrote about my love for the old fashioned hearty cooking at New Jersey’s diners. I asked for some suggestions for favorites.
New Jersey is home to many classic diners – those places that are built of chrome and look like railroad cars. Among them, the Bendix diner in Hasbrouck Heights is famous. And devotees of White Manna Hamburgers in Hackensack will be happy to know that their favorite restaurant will be featured on the January 28 episode of Food Network’s
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The show will also feature the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton.
Many people who like diner cuisine go to local restaurants that feature the hearty food and 24 hour breakfast menu, but look more like traditional restaurants, or like marble countered palaces. Some started out in the 1940s with classic diner design, and expanded. Among the local diners and diner type restaurants ,readers of this blog have a few favorites:
Louies Charcoal Pit, Teaneck
Matthew’s Colonial Diner, Bergenfield and Waldwick
Tenafly Diner, Tenafly
