Foodies Diner — Restaurant in South Hackensack

Review of Foodies Diner ⭐️⭐️ (2/5)

I recently had the opportunity to try Foodies Diner in South Hackensack, NJ, for breakfast, and unfortunately, it was a letdown. I had heard positive things about this place, so I was excited to give it a shot, especially since I rarely eat out for breakfast on a weekday.

The ambiance was quiet and relaxed, which was nice, and the menu offered a decent variety of breakfast and lunch options. However, I found the prices to be a bit higher than expected for a diner, yet I was willing to overlook that. I ordered the Alpine omelette, which was priced at $16.25. I requested a simple change—no onions and a switch from Swiss to cheddar cheese. The waitress assured me it was “not a problem.”

Fast forward to when the food arrived: it was satisfactory, though nothing extraordinary. The real issue arose when I received the check. To my surprise, there was a surcharge for the cheddar cheese substitution. When I inquired, the waitress explained that it was a $1.00 upcharge. I was taken aback, as I felt that such charges should be communicated beforehand.

When I asked to speak with a manager about the lack of transparency, I was told that no one was available because the manager was out shopping. Additionally, I noticed a 3% charge for credit card payments, which wasn’t posted anywhere. It felt like a series of frustrating little surprises that left a bad taste in my mouth.

The overall experience was marred by the waitress’s dismissive attitude and the lack of clarity regarding pricing. I won’t be returning to Foodies Diner and will be sure to share this experience with my friends and followers. It’s disappointing to see such poor customer service practices, especially when customers are left unaware of additional charges.

While meandering around our local neighborhood, my husband and I stumbled upon this tiny diner and gave it a try. We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough.

With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness.

The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside.

The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner.

Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot...

Me and my friend came here one morning because we wanted to try something local and new! We were not disappointed.

Though small and unassuming on the outside - it was cozy on the inside! There were both booths and tables - plus an easy layout to find the restroom and to navigate around. We were greeted by the most friendliest staff and they made it feel like we’ve known each other for years when it was only our first time. They were also very accommodating to my requests and were patient with me when I made changes to my order. There was only 2 people working on the floor while we were eating but they always made sure we were tended to and were doing okay!

The food had good portions and tasted amazing! I had the Hash Benedicts and my friend ordered the Fresh fruit waffles. The Benedict was perfectly runny (you have a choice on how you want it cooked) and they did not skimp out on the meats. The home fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and were seasoned well. I also ordered a Cappuccino with whipped cream and cinnamon on top and it came in a cute glass so you could see the layers well. While we were waiting for our food they even gave us French toast bites to try!

I would definitely come back to try their lunch/dinner menu. They serve a solid breakfast! I wish I came here more growing up because it’s so close to my old high school - I highly recommend this establishment and you should definitely stop by if you’re...
