Garden State Diner

I had a very simple breakfast…pancakes. They were perfect! I had ordered a side sausage which wasn’t my favorite. The style of the sausage was ok…. I thing special. Wouldn’t recommend getting it on its own.

The server, Giovanni was really nice and polite!

Loved the look and feel. If you don’t want to use the silly machines to order your food in the airport, Garden State diner is the place to go.

After returning from an international flight and not having anything to eat since the early morning, I found this little gem. The other two restaurants near these gates received abysmal reviews, so I decided to try the Garden State Diner at C-gates at Newark airport.
What a treat and delightful surprise! The service was outstanding! The waitstaff and manager are accustomed to customers asking for to-go orders…as people on either side of me requested. They respond with crisp efficiency and speed. The food came out very quickly, which I especially appreciated. More importantly, it was utterly delicious and my burger was perfectly cooked to order. Anyway, it was a seamless operation from seating to ordering to receiving food and paying my bill. Thank you, Garden State Diner, for a lovely welcome home!

Christmas day air travel is...something. When you wouldn't expect many places to be open on Christmas day at 4:30am, this place was. The servers were so nice! The food was good. It was filling, delicious and for food money (considering it was airport food). Was a good decision before getting on a 3.5 hour flight that was delayed by 2 hours

The wait is a bit long but since I have plenty of time that’s not an issue at all. The waitress is exceptionally nice! She gave me food recommendation and even made sure I didn’t pay additionally for the chocolate croissant by talking me out of it. The potatoes are hot and soft and flavorful. The sourdough is crispy yet soft. The ham and eggs are perfect. People get cranky at the airport but this place is very nice. I highly recommend!

A busy place to get a breakfast before a flight. We were seated fast and got our food quickly, too. They seemed to get that people don't want to linger long. They had the usual diner offerings, including pancakes of various flavors, waffles, sandwiches, etc. They had bakery items like croissants and danishes as well, and after we left I noticed they had an adjacent bakery stand for people who need food very fast.
