Herb’s Diner: Reviews & Ratings
I came here for the first time a few days ago and the food was very good: I had the veggie omelet and added beef bacon instead of the mushrooms and had grits and lightly toasted wheat toast and all of it was amazing so I will definitely be back because any place that sells grits is a place I'll continue to frequent and the customer service was good as well as the ambiance so this is another place to add to my list of restaurants and can't wait to try something new
Decent food here! And they give you a lot, fairly priced I probably have enough left over until Sunday if I wanted to. I arrived at 6am as the only customer and within 15 minutes the place was packed to the brim, good local breakfast spot for the early risers with good service, very good home fries and like the one reviewer said those were some of the best plain grits I've had up in the north, my only bone to pick would be to CLEAN that griddle grease trap, maybe it's for added flavor haha other than that I would come back here
I came here right after my flight from the PNW hungry. They did not disappoint! Our waitress was just so lovely and sweet. I liked that she called us "hun". It made me feel at home! I ordered the Taylor Ham 3 egg omelet, side of potato salad, and salmon cakes. I loved it all and the portions were a lot! With what I bought it could feed at least 3. Glad I played a visit. Thank you to the waitress for starting off our day with positivity! It's pretty close to the airport too!
This is about my favorite breakfast spot in Jersey. Fried or baked fish with shrimp and grits! Delicious! And the price point is great. Not fancy, just good food and down to earth folk. And, Herb is pretty cool too.
I've been to Herb's Diner 3 times over the course of the last two weeks. We had the shrimp/ fried fish with grits. It was very delicious and our plates were nice portions. The waitress was very sweet and caring. If you are ever in Hillside, NJ, please stop in to Herb's. You will most certainly not be disappointed. We love Herbs!!!
