Metuchen apparently needed a new diner. There hadn't been one here for a long time. This is the former spot of the Duchess Diner which hadn't been open in many many years. You come here on a weekend night and the lines are out the door. As I said, Metuchen needed a diner.
This was my first time walking into this building since it was the Duchess. It had been a long time. I miss diner's. Where I currently live there really aren't any diners. Or at least not diner's like I know them from growing up in this part of the country. You know a Jersey diner when you are in one. They just have a certain feel.
Like all diner's the menu here is huge. It might take you a good 30 minutes to go through the whole thing. Dad and I stuck to the salad portion of the menu. I would usually get a burger or something of the like, but I was feeling like a salad on this night. I had the Greek salad with chicken ($10.95).
Like everything on the menu and practically everything you will find at a diner in these parts the portions are huge. This salad could easily have fed 2 people. Full of lettuce, onions, tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese and other assorted goodies and topped with chicken (that brings the salad from $8.95 to $10.95) it was very flavorful and very fresh.
It is good to know that Metuchen has another good option for food.
I don't think you will find a better bargain than their $6.95 lunch with soup and desert. On the other hand, their pea soup was super salty. If I go to a diner and not enjoy the pea soup, especially on Thursday Pea Soup day, that can be a problem.
My veggie panini was good as was the rice pudding. Our server was very pleasant and did bring the pickle and slaw.
