Took last Friday off and was deciding on what to have for lunch with my sister. With nothing in particular we decided to re-visit Broad Street Diner.
The menu had some interesting lunch specials so we both ordered off that menu. I selected the Greek platter and my sister ordered the Prime Rib sandwich.
The Greek platter contained a nice large cube slice of spinach pie, a Greek salad with pita slices, a skewer of chicken meat, sliced pita wedges, and tzatiki sauce.
Spinach pie was awesome. A flaky and crisp phyllo dough exterior held the deliciously rich spinach blend. The feta cheese used in the filling was so tasty.
Greek salad was very fresh with a tangy vinaigrette dressing.
Chicken strips were also fresh and lightly seasoned with the classic Mediterranean flavors of salt, pepper, and lemon.
Tzatziki was so delicious and on par to some of the better Greek restaurants I've eaten as it was a nice thickness, creaminess, and had just enough tartness.
Sister enjoyed the prime rib sandwich that was excellent. A crispy toasted baguette held the super moist and flavorful beef slices. A side of au jus was included and was really meaty in flavor as it should be.
Oh the fries! Some of the best fries you can indulge on with a slight pock-marked crisp shell nestling the fluffy starch potato inside; these hand cut delicacies could be served at some of the best name brand NYC steakhouses……….they are that good. Seasoned perfectly too with just a sprinkle of salt.
Both our lunch specials included a dessert choice of various puddings, from which I selected the bread pudding and my sister opted for the rice pudding.
The bread pudding was awesome and definitely worthy of getting again as a stand alone dessert! The bread used (probably Challah) soaked up all that pudding mixture resulting in a rich, eggy, and creamy guilt trip. Sweetness level was nicely restrained too with the use of cinnamon.
Rice pudding, comparatively, was not as good, but overall a very solid rendition. It was executed well, but didn't wow me like the bread pudding.
These two lunch specials were an absolute bargain when you consider the large portion and excellent food quality!
This is a little railroad car style diner, there are about 20 small tables, and when we were there at lunch time today it was really busy. We sat right away and got drinks and ordered right away, service was very quick and friendly, it seems like a place where there are a lot of local regulars which is definitely a good thing. I had the cheeseburger deluxe which was very good, surprisingly good, I would never expect to have such a great burger in a diner, comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and coleslaw and pickle. Their fries are great, crispy and seasoned. My daughter had the kids pancakes which she was tickled pink when she saw it was in a Mickey Mouse shape. All in all it was a very good lunch, they were ranked number one diner in New Jersey which they definitely are in the top five but I think tops in Newark is the best.
Ok so I have been hearing so much about this little diner in Keyport I needed to see what the buzz was about. I honestly can't believe I live so close to this place that was voted one of the #1 Diner's in NJ and have never been. It isn't much to look at and small on the inside. The staff is so welcoming as soon as you walk in the door you are greeted warmly. A very busy place but the service is excellent. I only had breakfast on this visit so I do plan on returning as the menu had a good variety. Today I had simple eggs with bacon. The platters coming out of the kitchen were huge. The egg bowls as they call it are enough for 2 people and only $9.00. Waffles, pancakes, omelets looked amazing. Everyone around us were commenting how good the food was. So on my next visit I hope to give a 5 star.
