Eagle Rock Diner & Restaurant

As a first time visitor, I was delighted at their friendly service, and their extensive breakfast menu selections!
Their Challa Bread French Toast was delicious and abundant! Another plus is that they kept my cup of coffee filled at all times! (A definite must for a coffee drinker like myself!)
Will definitely stop by again!
(Did not find anyone "rude" in there.., must've been a typo! LOL!)

Its old and feels old, with dated decor, a feel of staleness all about, etc.
The food is just so-so.

It's hard to eat a midgrade meal when you're in a joint that seems like not a dime was reinvested since the 70s.

Nothing tastes fresh. It's as if everything is prepared from a can or a box. There's just way too many diner options in the nearby area to warrant a visit here.

This diner feels cozy and warm. We were treated well and taken care of in terms of service and quality of the food.

We shared the stuffed mushroom which were delicious btw. This was over rice that was very good as well. We each had a bowl of soup, bit were good mine was Matzo Ball Soup and Eve had Chicken Noodles Soup.

Coffee was ok. That was probably the weakest part of the meal but as it was to fight the cold weather it's warmth was right on.

We would go back again if we were nearby.

I'm not going to lie. The service is hardly there. My glass was a little dirty. There was this spot under my table that seemed to have never been swept. My medium well burger came out well done- actually it came out as a chicken wrap because they mixed up the order- but when I did get my burger it was well done. Lots of little things were wrong.

But. This place is just RAD. A complete time warp. And sometimes, you have to show places like this a little love.

So many call it run down and out dated, but I think it's beautiful. I love the vintage details- the fringed leather, the intricate details in the wood, and the oversized chandeliers. Even the waitresses seem out of another place in time. What can I say?

Food is always fresh and cooked to my specifications. That's one of the reasons why I am giving it a great review. It's so important. Place is clean. Bathroom were very clean as well. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger deluxe and I ordered an egg white pepper tomato and American cheese omelette with eye toast prepared dark and bacon ell done and it came out perfectly. I also recently ordered the French onion soup and it came out perfectly. Coffee was fresh and so was my juice.

Food came out within 10-12 minutes of ordering and drinks were delivered within 3-5 minutes of ordering. Water was placed on the table by the busboy as soon as we were seated. Although the place was fairly busy we were seated within 5-7 minutes of arrival. I couldn't ask for more. Also the parking lot is huge. Can't go wrong here

Burgers are awesome, and the cheesecake is the best I've ever had... EVER!!
Yea it's a little dated, but i call it "cozy". I only give it 4 stars b/c I went there for breakfast and the steak in the steak & eggs wasn't great.
The people are nice, the burgers are great...

While the food is good for "diner" food, on 2 different occasions, I had an issue with HAIR.

Also, next time you go in, look at the wrapped cookies n stuff right by the register. COVERED with strands of hair.

Here is why I will go back...... it's a diner. I ordered dinner. My bad. Stick with what you know, baby. Should've ordered breakfast, even at 6 PM.

They serve. You live in Essex county, you know what I mean. 'nuff said.

Loved my waiter. Adorbs.

The diner really shouldn't be held accountable for the loud-as-bad-disco biddy in the booth over who apparently was the placard model for every bad stereotype given to annoying people from Jersey.

A reason to stay away.... my coconut cream pie tasted like Banana Boat. It may have even provided me some SPF.

Never beer there for dinner, but is a solid diner breakfast, plentiful ,tasty and cheap! My husband and I usually split a scramble and then for only 3$ tack on a short stack of pancakes, OJ and coffee,, I take the coffee and then Oj and pancakes are for my son. It's seriously so much food that even with us splitting it we walk away so full!
The eagle rock skillet and the taste of Greece scrambles are my favorite, I prefer the taste of Greece (spinach, feta, onions and tomatoes) but sometimes my husband wants the meat in the eagle rock scramble (sausage, potatoes,onions and peppers) both scrambles with eggs of course, both tasty!
The service is quick and very friendly. They offer the kids cookies or a lollipop on the way out. The decor is a little dated, but homey and always clean.

Cheesecake was AMAZING! Service was excellent and friendly. Food was big portions and great prices! Can't go wrong. Would definitely go back! Now I just gotta finish these leftovers! :)
