Before I forget (I seem to have about a two week attention span–if that, these days!!) I want to give extreme KUDOS to this WONDERFUL, classic, something for EVERYONE diner!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, how I miss gems like this place here in Ohiooooooooooo!!
We were a group of 20+, and while I'm sure that reservations were made well in advance, I was still in AWE of how this place SPRANG into action and got us set up with two separate long tables (on a SUNDAY at about 11am!!). There was even another group there, though not as large as ours, and just about every single table in this larger than it looks place was filled as well. They're next door to a LARGE cemetery, and I'm sure they get a good bit of their business from groups of mourners/graveside visitors (like us….) so no surprise they've got the large group thing down to a science!!
One waitress handled both of our tables, got us drinks (no mixups!!) and took our breakfast and/or lunch orders without a hitch!! There's always a million and one options at these diners, and every single one of them sounds better than the next… I went for a veggie wrap, thinking it wouldn't be HUGE, as I had a reasonably sized breakfast earlier and didn't want a TON of food with a potentially long ride back to NY, and the perfectly cooked, reasonably sized wrap, with a side of sweet potato fries, was a great choice. My brother got an awesome looking Mexican breakfast burrito, and I was nearly drooling over the buckwheat pancakes to my right, my sister's gyro platter, and just about every delectable option that arrived on our table…
You can't go wrong (IMO) at this or any typical NY/NJ diner… Any time, any where, just about any hour of the day or night. SUPER great service, wonderful diner food, and VERY reasonably priced… I'd be a regular, IF I didn't live over 500 miles away…!! 😉
I love NJ diners and this one didn't disappoint me. Much more than your typical diner, this one had a lively interior and extensive menu. Since I'm partly Greek, I ordered the Greek Spinach Pie Combo. It was very good with the exception of the pastry not being a typical filo dough. My lunch mates ordered salads, wraps and soups, which everyone said were very good. I had to buy a giant sprinkle cookie for my son and two pieces of baklava to enjoy later at home. The service was excellent. Ciao and buon appetito!
I'll ONLY come here when I'm catching up with friends in the area. It's a great place to sit for hours and get endless refills on coffee–definitely not a place to get good food.
Chances are that no matter what you order here, it's going to be cold and dry.. I'd recommend that you save yourself by ordering something that can be drenched in dressing/sauce/syrup. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst food that I've ever tasted.. It's just not very good. SBD is at least better than the nearby diners in Elmwood Park.
The service is never so great. The servers usually disappear after you get your food without checking on your table much at all. And the staff definitely doesn't give off the friendly vibe that you hope to get from a diner.
A positive: prices are even cheaper than most of the diners that I've been too! For example, almost all of their omelettes (with potatoes & toast) are under $10, which is pretty rare these days.
Overall, even though your food or service at SBD won't be the best, you won't be too upset because of the cheap bill.
Another great diner in the bergen county area. My sister lives down the street and has become a regular. I was not surprised when she suggested it for dinner when I went over there the other night. There chicken fingers (my goto diner meal) was on par and delicious. It is also a very cute and diner-esq diner.
This is one of my favorite diners in the area to hit up for breakfast! For starters, I love that they serve lunch all day long. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a sandwich or wrap for breakfast, you'd be surprised how many places only serve breakfast for breakfast.
I've been here several times and everything that I've tried is good, especially their paninis, wraps, ALL breakfast items. When I am in the mood for breakfast items, they have a great selection of breakfast specials. They come with these ham home fries which are so so tasty. The servers here are attentive and keep the coffee flowing. After breakfast, check out their bakery section! The large chocolate chip cookie is my favorite, but the cakes are pretty good too.
I placed an order to pick up a grilled chicken Caesar salad..they said it would be ready about 10 minutes took about 15minutes. They have a bar area and a dessert area (which looked delicious as I waited for my order) the actual establishment looks big on the outside but it's not so big inside.. They do have a big parking lot in the back of the dinner and some parking on the side. My grilled chicken Caesar salad was pretty big.. Definitely worth the $12 the only thing I did not like is the amount of dressing they put on my salad. They didn't ask if I wanted on the side or in it which is fine I didn't care but with the amount that they put I will make sure to ask for it on the side next time. It was just way too much caesar dressing. As for cleanliness it looked pretty clean. They also have an ATM machine if you need cash.
An edit to my last review, I got one of the specials, Buffalo clam wrap and it was terrible. I broke my one diner rule, and got something out of the ordinary and it did not worn out. The clams were rubber, literal rubber, and the whole wrap was soggy. Don't put it on the menu especially as a special, and to add insult to injury, the starred it like it was good…. it's a trap.
I love their pancakes here! Everything else is so-so. I've had better diner food and the service is always hit or miss, but the prices are very reasonable.
