Crystal Diner

First time coming to this diner with my boyfriend’s family (table of 10) as we came in for some sweet treats & cake/cheesecake after dinner 🥰 Our waitress, forgot to get her name, was very kind and attentive to our table. The atmosphere here is very nostalgic of the old school diners decked out in beautiful “Crystal” chandeliers. Got some Vanilla and Strawberry Milkshakes, Hot Chocolate, Warm French Onion Soup, Coffee, and their cakes were so yummy. Our favorite was the cannoli! Thank you for hosting an end to a great night 😌

A group of us Car guys were going to the Flemings Pumpkin Run (we got our picture taken with Harry Fleming) and we stopped at the Crystal Diner for breakfast. Good food, nice service and good atmosphere. It reminds us of an Old Fashion Diner which we enjoy. Try it and see for yourself. 👍

The food was terrific, and we were seated quickly on a Sunday. This is a bit challenging to get to even for NJ. Especially depending on the direction you are coming from - cant make a left and the loop lane change is quick. Also, you kind of enter behind it, so even with an app guiding you, be careful.

My son wanted to be in a REAL NJ Diner, as he was too young when we moved to FLA. the heat was out over the Christmas holiday, but the staff made it toasty and delicious. Will definitely be back.

The service was exceptional, Geri was gracious and funny, and the food was awesome! It was easy getting into the diner because of the wheelchair ramp. The Greek Panini was superb and we had lots to bring home.

absolutely incredible!!! the music was perfect and complimented the inside of the diner perfectly! our waitress was a doll! the food was above average!!! and before leaving we grabbed a slice of cheesecake and a cigar! YES, you can buy a cigar to cap off the night! definitely my favorite diner!

Classic Neon Jersey Diner!!! Plenty of seating. Very bright and clean. We were seated quickly. Our food came out quick. It was hot and fresh and delish. Friendly waitress. Overall great experience. We ordered two dinner specials: Prime Rib and Shrimp & Scallop Scampi. And ordered a Santa Fe Burger. Generous portions. Specials came with dessert. We picked rice pudding. Yum! Prices were good too. Great choice for after a day at the beach on the way home. Right off RT 37. Very close to Parkway to head home.

Great diner. We had a lady name Janet serve us and what a sweet lady… she went above and beyond and was great to converse with. And the food was delicious as well!!!

If you're looking for something good to eat. I recommend this diner, the very efficient, getting your food out nice and hot. Ask for Diane, the waitress, she's excellent.

Love coming to Jersey for the diners. I love in Florida and come up to visit my son. Diners are the only place I allow him to take me for lunch. They food is so good and there is plenty on your plate. You don't leave feeling that you should have more food. It was so good.

Great place to just stop in for a nice meal. The food is affordable and the staff are great!

Nice clean and good food. Utensils are cheap and the coffee cups are from tye stone age.

If it smells good, eat it

Wish there were more stars to give. This place is fantastic. The people are awesome.

After a fun night of ice-skating at the local rink in Toms River, my friends and I headed on over to the Crystal Diner for some breakfast-for-dinner! This establishment is run by a super sweet Greek gentleman who seemingly pours his heart out into the restaurant world.

We munched on some delicious french toast, got some super tasty hot chocolate and sides of bacon! I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly the food arrived and how amazing the service was, given we came during their last hour of being open for the night. Definitely stop in and say "ti kanies" (how are you?) to the owner, if you're in the area!

Natalie took great care of me, checking in to make sure I had what I needed. Ordered the open faced Ruben with pastrami - best sandwich ever!

Had breakfast. Best home fries ever, very delicious. Friendly, fast, service. Large sitting area with many booths. Plenty of on site parking.

Great staff, quick service and wonderful food

Loves this diner. We are from FL and just love diners and this was our favorite by far! The restaurant was clean, service was great, and the food was delicious. We have a big family so it was affordable. I definitely recommend this place!!

Great to be up in NJ for a few days where they know what a DINER is. I'm stuck in FL where they think WAFFLE HOUSE is a diner. Enough venting.
This place is great..best sausages I've had in a long time. Excellent service & extensive menu. 5☆ all the way.
