Manville Diner: Classic American Fare Dream for Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch

Such a cute and quaint diner! My husband and I were visiting from out of town and wanted a home style breakfast! Unfortunately we inhaled our food before I had the chance to take a picture! But the portions sizes were pretty large (no complaints here) and the food was delicious! I am normally not a big fan of pancakes but I tried some off my husband's plate because they smelled so delicious. I must say this diner has the BEST pancakes I have ever tasted!! Staff members were friendly and quick! I recommend to anyone trying to get away from a mainstream breakfast restaurant and wanting to enjoy a home cooked meal in a local cozy diner! We will definitely return if we are ever in this area again (:

I visited the Manville Diner for breakfast on Nov 10, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. There is a small parking lot in the back of the diner. There is additional parking on the street. Prices are reasonable and the diner gives generous portions. My grandmother and I had eggs with home fries and toast, we both agreed it was good. The coffee was also good and the waitress was friendly. The diner has been in Manville New Jersey since 1938, under different names throughout the years. The outside of the dinner looks like a regular building. Once you walk inside you are transported back to 1938. The diner from the inside looks like the inside of a train car. Long and narrow with a curved ceiling, the diner resembles an O'Mahony dining car with upgrades made through the years. I will definitely go back.

If you're looking for a very very original diner feel, Manville Diner is it. It's a small location but don't let it fool you! They've got some great eats and fantastic service! My wife and I decided to come here for breakfast to try a new spot in our area and they did not disappoint. I had their meat lovers omelette with home fries and wheat toast; my wife had their breakfast combo with three eggs, bacon, fries, and toast. Very generous portions! My omelette was full of goodness; super hearty and delicious. We will be back!

Finding this diner is such a comfort after moving to the area! This place is really just such a solid NJ diner and reminds me of some of my favorites in north Jersey. Came on a Sunday morning and there were a few tables available. The servers were all extremely friendly and on top of everything. I had a simple eggs, Taylor ham, home fries platter and everything was really good. The potatoes could be a little crispier, but that's just a personal preference! Prices are so affordable and it's conveniently located on a Main Street in town. I definitely see this becoming a staple breakfast spot for me.

I've been coming here regularly now for over a year. My boyfriend and I get takeout breakfast every Sunday morning. They have a good amount of breakfast specials. I love their turkey sausage, and breakfast sandwiches, and delicious pancakes. Their half pound Cheeseburger Deluxe will satisfy even the hungriest of appetites. The coffee is hot and fresh. Everything is made to order. The portions are large, and the food is satifying. This place reminds me of how Mom and Pop Jersey diners used to be. No frills, just good food done well. This diner is family owned and run. The staff works very hard to keep everyone satisfied. This diner is small but it always seems to work out with the seating. Everyone who comes here is patient, and friendly. The staff is very welcoming and they tend to know their regular customers. The Manville diner does offer takeout. Sometimes I call in my order and just pick it up. They open at 6a and close at 9p daily. ( Check online for updated times.) They have a small parking lot in the back. The streets are one way so you'll have to go around the block and come around to park. There's limited parking on the street. It never seems to be a problem. If your looking for a place to get a hearty breakfast, brunch, or lunch then this is your place.

We pass this diner on Main Street ALL THE TIME!! We've never gone in because when we pass it, we're usually on route home from Walmart, *twitching* and WAY too disturbed from what we've seen during our shopping trip... The diner is small. Quaint. Old school-looking. Low ceilings, two or four seater-booths, open kitchen (which I appreciate) and a 'Seat Yourself' system. Big menus were handed to us by a lovely waitress. Typical Diner Foods were listed, but the specials are highlighted in plastic-pocket sections. I ordered the Roman Combo; Garden salad, Chicken Parm with a side of penne a la vodka. The man ordered a Gyro platter with a Greek salad. Both were delicious! We were stunned. How did we NOT find this place sooner?!?! Dessert was Cheesecake from heaven... I'm excited to go back and try more dishes!!
