Orlando's Cafe — Restaurant in East Amwell Township

We brought my elderly father to Orlando’s for what will likely be his last Father’s Day outing. He is 86 and has blood cancer amongst many other ailments. He rarely leaves his bed but was excited to go out to breakfast and got the strength up to get out of bed. We were seated at 9:45am and yes, it was very crowded. Tons of motorcycles. We received drinks right away and placed our order. I expected it would take a little longer because of the crowds. By 10:25 my dad was starting to fade. He had to put his head on the table. We asked them to check on our food, the server said “it’s in the line” . At 10:50 I got up and stopped a server and told her my Dad was literally going to collapse at the table from exhaustion if we didn’t get our food. I pointed him out. She said it wasn’t her table and didn’t someone tell us it would take awhile to get our food. I told her they didn’t tell us it would be over an hour. I told her tables all around us and young guys coming to the counter were all getting their food before us. She handed me three packs of crackers and told me to go back to my table. At 10:55 we gave up and it took two of us to get him to our car. The server yelled “There’s nothing we can do about it!” . My sister had to wait until 11:25 for the food to come out in take home containers.My Dad went home and straight to the bed without eating. Thanks Orlando’s, for ruining our last...

I passed by here thinking if was just an ice cream shop but it turned out to be ice cream with a cafe type of diner . I was excited to try this out because usually the mom & pop stores tend to have fresh homemade food and it is usually very good comfort food . Everything I got excited about was actually a very good food experience and I was delighted to have stopped here for a very late well needed lunch . When I walked in there were many people sitting and eating for a countryside eatery . I ordered a mushroom barley soup and a Swiss cheese mushroom burgerthat came with a pickle, coleslaw and french fries but I substituted the fries for a mashed potatoes and gravy. My lunch was so delicious only complaint was my soup was brought out cold but the waitress Gloria quickly brought it back to the kitchen to heat it up . Gloria was very friendly and had a smile on her face and you could see if she loves her job. it is always refreshing to have a happy waitress. I decided to combine my desserts with the ice cream and a blueberry pie. I got blueberry ice cream on top of blueberry pie and it was amazing. Gloria heated up my blueberry pie and topped it off with the blueberry ice cream was very good and taste homemade . If I am in the area, I will definitely stop by here again. Don’t pass this place by you won’t be...

Excellent diner-style fare for not much money. This place isn't necessarily much to look at - a rambling, low-lying wooden diner-like structure off Route 31 between Pennington and Ringoes - but you should by no means pass it up because of that. The inside is cozy, with a lunch counter and numerous tables. The food is simply great. I typically have a cheddar cheese omelette with bacon on the side; these are always prepared to my liking, delicious, and very filling. Whenever I'm here, I can't resist one of their hot dogs: grilled to perfection, and remarkably inexpensive. Their ice cream counter is a wonderful way to end a meal. One thing I must mention is the outdoor dining experience, in season. Simple picnic tables are set up under trees next to and behind the restaurant, which backs up to a grassy lawn and the edge of a tree nursery. In good weather, the experience is delightful, as is the scenery. The staff is always cheerful and friendly, too. The place is a local favorite, so by all...
