I used the Grub Hub ap for the first time ever and ordered my Marion's Chopped Salad (lunch portion) at 6:30 p.m. and a qt. of the Soup of the Day - the best, Vegetable. Order arrived in less than 20 minutes and the driver was really nice! What a bonus. Delivery is long overdue. Good luck Marion with it - I think it's going to be great. xo. - A.A.

Hi Ritz Diner!
Our family is a big fan of the Ritz, but the biggest fan is our littlest member: Willow! She discovered that you have delicious Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets on your menu when she was around 2 and a half and she’s never looked back! She requests to go there at least once a week and has been there with every member of our extended family. She knows all of the staff and they can’t wait to see what she’s wearing each time she comes in. We all secretly love when she asks to go because it’s a place that has something delicious for everyone in our family. And of course, we can’t leave without a rainbow cookie to finish the meal! We even had The Ritz cater her 4th birthday party and with all of her favorites and everyone at the party raved about the food! Thank you for being a staple in our family and in our town! We love you!
Sincerely fans,
The Borukhovich Family
Gennady, Maggie, Noah and Willow (but mostly Willow)
My experience to Ritz Diner is wonderful ANY TIME I have a chance to get there. Delicious food, lovely staff, resonable prices. - R V
Excellent eggs, home fries to die for, outstanding bacon, and the cleanest restroom I’ve ever seen in a diner. Attentive service from our waiter and very sweet people running this place. A find! Sending thanks! - C. Paget
The real Jersey diner experience, from the massive, oversized, menu featuring hundreds of dishes, to loud waitresses and disco fries. They also have an on premise bakery, which features absolutely ginormous black and white cookies, linzer cookies that can be a dessert for four, and delicious babkas. But, the best dish of all, hidden on the last page of the menu - a corned beef sandwich with 2 latkes instead of bread. It's divine! - Ivana S
Had a great experience dining here for a birthday party. The staff accommodated by adding a candle to our dessert and singing happy Birthday 🎂 all meals were tasty and generous portions.
- Tom M
A wonderful place to eat and experience a true American diner! Clean and friendly. They also have the best pastries! - Lauren W
This is a classic New Jersey diner. I’ve been going here since I was a child 60 years ago. When it was called the colony diner. For my family it’s best known for its matzoh ball soup and potato pancakes. I also loved their black-and-white baked cookies. I’ve had many breakfast there as well as food as well prepared and quite delicious. I highly recommend this place. - Anthony R
Perfect combination: generous portion of tasty food served with a smile in a warm,6 bustling atmosphere that left my tummy and wallet very happy - Christine O

Great food & service. We go there every week for breakfast & have soft scrambled eggs w/crispy bacon exactly how we like it. No diner ever made it as good as this! - Lewis K
Best Matzo ball soup in the world! - Erin B
The cashier and the waitresses were so friendly. I ordered take out and the waitress even made sure my coffee was just right. When I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back. The breakfast was amazing, fluffy pancakes, delicious Belgian waffles, and my omelet was tasty! - Carla E
This is a landmark diner always good and fabulous can't go wrong breakfast, lunch, and dinner oh and of course dessert awesome! Pancakes great! Jumbo burger excellent! Ritz is "Out of This World"! And it even makes you sing that song when you're leaving "Putting on the Ritz"! - Joe M
I've been going to this diner for nearly 35 years. From the German Apple Pancake to their expertly prepared fish - I really like their food. If it's not on the menu, their Sole Supreme served with mashed potatoes is my favorite fish preparation and on par with what you could get in the city. Ask them and they can prepare it gluten free as well. Get a black and white cookie for dessert.
- Elliot P
