What our guests are saying

I went to the VIP Diner for breakfast and I hadn't been there in years. I was pleasantly surprised by the updated decor and the different dining sections. They even have open mic and karaoke nights from what the staff person told me. It was a really nice upgrade. I had scramble eggs, pork sausage, home fries and a toasted English muffin. Very tasty. The eggs were done and fluffy and my home fries were cooked just as I requested. Crispy on the outside fluffy underneath. The sausage was cooked perfectly, well done but moist on the inside. I didn't see any pastry displays like they use to have. The bathrooms were old school and there is a sign on the door that they only have air dryers no paper towels. It just so happens that I was there on the specials day. Only paid $9.62 for the entire breakfast. Good staff and they kept asking me if I wanted my coffee to be refilled. And I gladly said yes. I'll be going back more often. Parking is ample and free.

The VIP Diner was a favorite of my Dad's after he relocated from Queens NY to Jersey City in 1999. We would sometimes go to the diner when I visited. He passed away in 2007. I personally am not one who eats out, but when I am at the condo here on business and my Mom and stepdad come out to visit with me from Brooklyn, we have a meal at VIP as we did yesterday. I have always enjoyed whatever I've ordered and have only had positive experiences with the staff. 😊 My short stack pancakes were delicious. My 6 year old great-nephew devoured his eggs and 2 sausages. Mom ate the entire fish sandwich and did not once judge it. Mom is a cooker and will judge other people's cooking. Lol! My Stepdad enjoyed his classic burger and fries. Me and nephew also enjoyed some of those fries. 😋 I will say the prices are higher, but that is everywhere. And because I do not eat out regularly, the price increase probably seems higher to me than it would to someone who has seen prices gradually increase. I am not including crazy post pandemic increases.
