Sides Diner and Grill — Restaurant in Long Branch

I decided to try this place out this morning. It is under half a mile from my house, and I knew that it recently opened. I decided to grab a bite to eat and some coffee.

The coffee was nice, just like any other diner coffee, no complaints.

I ordered the farmer omelette I believe it was called. With tomato, onion, mushrooms, peppers. The omelette was filling, however I couldn't help but notice that it was a little bland. I asked for hot sauce right when I got my omlette and they had the burman's hot sauce. Which next to Frank's red hot, is my favorite hot sauce. The omlette was decent however it needed the hot sauce to get to its standard.

I was in about 8am on a Saturday morning and I noticed it was not really that busy. I don't go to dinars often so I don't know if that's just regular clientel. However when I was leaving, I saw that people were coming in, the place is very roomy there is a lot of different decor that you don't get in any other diner. So safe to say this diner strives to be different.

In New Jersey there are a lot of cookie cutter diners around, however I noticed this one takes a older approach, I feel like the diner was a modernized 50s diner. Which isn't a bad thing at all.

Long Branch is a place that has a lot of visitors that stay in the hotels for the summer. I'd recommend if you are visiting check this place out, coming from a long branch resident.

This establishment just opened so I'm giving it a 4 star, I was debating whether 3 or 4 however I know this business is still acclimating to opening.

I will most definitely be back to try more items on the menu, and when that happens, expect this review to change to cater to...

When i first ate at this place, i was disappointed. I ordered Mozzarella Sticks. The cheese was under-cooked and the sauce tasted like it came from a Chef Biordee Can. Because this is a new establishment i gave them several other chances. The old man that runs the place is clearly someone who loves kids. He is a very nice part of this business. That is why it is a shame that i will never return. This morning i ordered 3 eggs with grilled chicken and a toasted bagel. The chicken was over cooked, chewy and seasoned in a manner that i just did not like. It was so bad that i could not finish the chicken and the bagel was toasted to a point that i was afraid I was going to break a tooth chewing it. I dunked it in my coffee to make it softer. My daughter ordered French Toast with Corned Beef Hash. The corned Beef Hash was overly greasy and gritty and just all around a bad dish. The eggs and french toast was perfect though.

Upon receiving my bill, i noticed the price of the Corned Beef Hash was the same price as the French toast. When i explained that the chicken, bagel and Corned Beef Hash were sub standard and i would not likely be returning, the old lady explained that the Corned Beef Hash was made homemade. I found this hard to believe. Instead of asking what i didn't like about the food or what the issue might be, she said she she was sorry and i would be missed as a customer but i should have...

It is cute little authentic diner, you think you walked in to the historical place... interestingly enough and pleasant was when we walked in, I need to visit restroom, the hostess lady not just said that somebody might be in it in the wheelchair and they might still be there and said if you really have to you can go to men's room it's just one stall, but she knocked on the door and somebody was in, so she just apologized and said you can sit on the chair here, while waiting till bathroom is vacant - that never ever ever ever happened to me before - it is very personal customer service ,witch continued by our table, personnel was always very attentive and last but not least - food was incredible quality... we left with happy bellies and good feeling in the...
