That's awesome, and I've had some good times there as well, however, it was something the family wasn't familiar with, and never should have ventured into, IMHO, and that's a shame because it did a lot more damage than anyone expected.
Definitely an intervention on Numbers. Crunchy People must stick together.
I still get this when I go there--pretty sure it's what I got when huskers was here.
Used to go to Americana in East Windsor with my mom, which was more of an enormous restaurant than a classic diner (but good). In my area, Summit Diner and Millburn Diner are both very good. Ritz Diner in Livingston is most overrated.
The food at Americana is so good, it's almost a dinner in name only. But yes, this is our go to place! Definitely the best in NJ with it comes to quality.
Uncle Bill's is AWESOME, but we go to the one in Stone Harbor, that's our shore town.
I just ate there last week. Good place. Not the best, but a solid go-to. Speaking of places in Stirling, have you been to the Stirling Hotel? My guess is you have. Love that place.
This list is a sham and a money grab. No quality, self respecting diner would submit their name in the. NJ.com deff takes $$$ to appear on this sham of a list.
Substance/style in this case. A quality diner lets it's product speak for itself and doesn't need the publicity.
No diner is f**king with THE.....Edison Diner.
The E-- best diner in Jersey... possibly America.

As long as the diner and the kitchen are clean most of the food is similar.
Most make a decent omelet, club sandwich, french fries etc.

Yes! Stirling hotel is fantastic....best port cheddar burger in the state
My faves are Liberty Park Diner in JC and Tops in E. Newark. I have to give Edison Diner props for the many Mexicali omelettes that got me through grad school.
I live close, but prefer the Liberty Park Cafe to the Brownstone DIner. They do have good pancakes though.
I spent a lot of time at Somerset Diner when I was at RU. I went back there with my wife a couple of years ago. I was kind of surprised at how it had changed, but of course by then it probably had been renovated two or three times since I was in school.
We go to the one in Cape May, at least twice every time we're there for our summer vacation.
Have always seen it as two categories of diner. There's the diner-diner. Simple, huge menu,all done well, but not spectacular. Beauty is in their familiarity and availability. Then there is the diner that aspires to be more than just a diner. A little more gourmet, bar.
Both good, but very different.

Im not a big fan of diners that try to be more than a diner but call themselves a diner. I went to Skylark and was unimpressed. I thought the menu was a little too ritzy for a diner. If I want to go to a diner I go to a diner, If I want to go to a more fancier restaurant I will do that. I don't like the blurrying of lines.
I don't get all the love for the Somerset Diner. I've been there many times, and it's ok, but I think the Bridgewater Diner on 22 is way better. Also, if you sit by the drink station, you get to listen to all the waitresses talk about how much they hate their boss, which is hilarious.
Oh, and one more vote for fatty bacon.

The Weequahic Diner on Elizabeth Ave. in Newark.Great food and a gathering place.CLOSED eons ago.Anyone remember it? If you do you're pretty long in the tooth.
This is what I was getting at. Skylark is good, but it's not a diner imo. Feel similarly about Edison Diner. Diner needs a certain feel. Somerset has it. Rustic Mill in Cranford (where I live) has it. Sunset diner in Roselle Park has it, and gives you the option of well done home fries. Scotchwood on Rt 22 is also diner to the bone.
In my younger days, my buds and I would drive around the state, with no particular place to go, and usually end up at a diner, so I've been to a ton of them.
