Manalapan Diner

I am a frequent patron at the Manalapan Diner because it offers a strong diner experience. What I mean by diner experience is that is just screams diner atmosphere all over the place. It's got the big booth's, the big tables, the pretty solid service, the relatively low prices, the big portions and the tasty food. The place has some classy hosts and some kind workers. I have seldom received poor service here, and am generally satisfied. I would recommend this diner for anyone who wants a quick meal, for a nice night out with your family or your date, and enjoy the relaxed welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you just like to eat, talk and relax with your friend or your significant other. Enjoy! more

This diner is similar to most diners with the exception of a "jukebox" at each table. It is a cute addition to the booths, but sometimes can interfere with space in the booth because it does stick out over the table a bit. Food: Large portions! If you order an omelet, you also get toast on the side with home style fries. Very large platters with heaping amounts of food which is quite tasty. Prices: Fairly inexpensive with prices running the gamut of low single digits to mid teens. Service: Pretty decent the times I have been there. The waiters/waitresses have been efficient and as quick as they can be. Obviously it will take longer during typical meal times. Overall, it is a good diner that provides a hearty fare for a few bucks. more

This place has been around a long time and is usually crowded so I must be missing something. When I dined there, the food was terrible. Everything was bland and had no taste. Everything from the soup to the meal were awful. The silver ware was not clean and when I made the staff aware of that, they were not very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. more
