The Tastiest Diners in Newark

Harry's Hofbrau

★★★★☆ 3.9 (929) • $$

"It's a stable in the community. I've been here a handful of times. It's a cafeteria style, so line up and order and pay at the end of them plating your food. Huge space. Great for big parties - make reservations. Great bar too. Saturdays are known for their prime rib meal which is about $26. Come early - for lunch or afternoon because by dinner time you risk of it being by sold out. I love their corned beef dinner meal. It comes with mashed potatoes, dinner roll and a side and it's $19. You can mix meats if it's the price, which was nice since I got to try pastrami too! Prepare for food coma, cause this place is quite filling. The service is good. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The bar makes a good hot toddy!"

Sequoia Diner

★★★★☆ 4.1 (778) • $$

"Food is good quality.Prices are already very expensive and 20pct fee is added to orders (both in person and to go orders have the added fee)"

Mama's Royal Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.5 (972) • $$

"Oakland, and the East Bay in general, has lots of breakfast options. I've been to Mama's twice now and both experiences were fantastic.The food is solid, very tasty, and has lots of options. The jalapeño and carrot salsa on the table is a generous addition, not too spicy and definitely filled with flavor crystals.I loved the NY sharp cheddar and cremini mushroom omelette, banked with home fries and a slice of Acme sourdough toast.The service was friendly and attentive the whole time --which says a lot at 11am on a gorgeous Saturday morning. The crew feels like family and they clearly know how to run a morning rush that feels easy and well coordinated. I also like how real the place feels. Black and red floor tiles from the 50's? Ornamental headboards from some past iteration as a Chinese restaurant, and super comfy seats and booths.Solid."

Peanuts Deluxe Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (618) • $$

"Peanuts has been a tradition for me long before I knew I was a foodie, when I was just a college student looking for the cheapest meal and drink.... Just recently i started frequenting peanuts again and I tried their korean fried chicken and chicken teriyaki. Great portions and solid ingredients. Perfect for a quick lunch. During the pandemic peanuts closed and renovated... it looks so great and modern inside now! I'm so happy they kept the sorority and fraternity paddles. I'm happy to keep supporting them because they are a critical part of San Jose culture. whether you are there to drink some beer or fill your tummy with a hearty breakfast, you will always get great prices, portions and customer service. Love the new remodel and miss Minh."

Holder's Country Inn

★★★★☆ 4 (506) • $$

"Service and food is awesome! We had driven by this place many times and finally decided to try it two weeks ago based on the reviews. We have been back twice already. Great for kids as well! The ambiance is homey and nostalgic."

Holder's Country Inn

★★★★☆ 3.7 (552) • $$

"Idk why all Holders locations always have only 3/3.5 stars. I've found it to be a great example of what a diner should be - a cozy place with friendly people, plenty of options and tasty food. Maybe Yelpers are foodies, and are therefore unimpressed with Holder's salt-of-the-earth vibes? Here's my take - great for families or for when you want comforting, decent food with no fuss. I usually get a scramble or an omelette, and a single pancake on the side. I recommend the fresh orange juice and the garlic fries. One thing - I wish they had an espresso machine so I could get lattes! They only have black drip coffee. But this may be asking too much of a diner."

Hobee's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (576) • $$

"Service and food were both awesome. A classic business that has been around for 50 years. Really enjoyed Sunnyvales Quesadilla. Hostess and waitress were great and food was laser fast and well done. Anytime I am in Silicon for business I'll definitely stop back in. Thank you!"

My Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (485) • $$

"Awesome place with great food and service the Avocado toast is great and everything else on the menu is good"

Mimosas of Willow Glen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (357) • $$

"I hosted an impromptu surprise birthday brunch, and by that -- I mean, I decided I was going to do it about 10 days prior for a party of seventeen people. I called the restaurant and left a message for a reservation and the owner, Kimberlin, promptly returned my call.I told her what I had in mind and she was accommodating from the gate. In addition to reserving space for our party, she also offered linens and centerpieces (with an extra surcharge, of course) to help add color to our event. She texted me photos of past events to give me an idea of what her and her team could offer. I reviewed them and decided to keep it simple -- she made it easy and so effortless on my end.The day of the event couldn't have gone better. We surprised the birthday guy successfully and we all had a blast catching up celebrating over a great brunch and mimosas. Everyone ordered something different and there were no complaints around the food or drinks. The staff attending to our group were attentive and quick considering we also had kids that needed extra items like napkins, etc.All of my guests enjoyed their drinks too (they have a full bar) -- from Mimosas to Bloody Marys -- I would say everyone understood the assignment of "Sunday Fun Day" and were grateful for some good food, amazing company, and a just a beautiful experience all around.Kudos to Kimberlin and her team for hosting us. Thank you for being a leader in hospitality and keeping the Mimosas brand alive and well. We look forward to returning for more casual brunches! P.S. although I did not personally order the Bottomless Mimosa deal, I was told by one of my guests that the "bottomless" applies for the first 90 minutes upon ordering which means anyone who takes on this endeavor needs to come prepared :)"

Classic Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (342) • $$

"Darling diner with great food. Probably the best French toast in the Bay! Service was very pleasant and attentive. My friend had the club and fries. She said it was excellent!"

Norman's Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (374) • $$

"I had been before, and had a pretty good breakfast. So, I decided to go back. We like supporting small local businesses when possible. Our experience probably was our last. The service was definitely better than the food, which was just ok. Everybody smiled and seemed friendly and helpful. The wait was short. When our food came, we weren't impressed. My omelette was flat. I'm used to them being fluffy and thicker. But, nonetheless, it was cooked as I ordered. The potatoes didn't have onions or bell peppers in them. My wife's breakfast and daughter's hamburger was similar .... Not bad. Just not wonderful and flavorful. The last thing was the price for the food. Without the tip, it was about $72 for 3 people. That's pricey for breakfast. I may go back by myself to give them another shot."
