Manasquan's Paramount Diner — Restaurant in Manasquan

My boyfriend and I went to lunch here today. It was a quiet Sunday morning so there was plenty of room to park and walk around in the shops surrounding the diner. We wanted to find a little hole in the wall place near us! My boyfriend got the “paramountal” breakfast which had a choice of french toast or pancakes with eggs and sausage/bacon. The french toast was so soft and flavorful! It tasted like a cinnamon bun. I got blueberry pancakes with lemon curd. The pancakes were a little bland but the sausage was amazing!

He then proceeded to say, “Well you’ve been outside for 5 minutes.” I couldn’t believe my ears. He then proceeded to say that no establishment within the area would take...

Went here on 9/6 for lunch with my ole lady. The service was great even though the place was packed. Wait time was normal to get our food and the meal was fantastic.

Talked to the hostess/owner and the wait is only 15min. She texts me when the table is ready and we have another spectacular meal and have declared Paramount Diner our go-to spot when we come to town. The owners are fantastic, wait staff were attentive and polite even when every table is full. And the kitchen is top-tier. Highly recommended the “Couped-up Chicken Sandwich”. We can’t wait to...
