Review:
Top's Diner is one of the United States' most historic family-owned diners, originally established in East Newark in 1942. The restaurant, which was named as New Jersey's most famous restaurant by Thrillist, serves more than 15,000 customers weekly, open for early morning through late night service throughout the week. A wide variety of classic breakfast fare is served up throughout the day, ranging from traditional eggs Benedict and creative housemade omelettes to fresh fruit French toast, Belgian waffles, and specials such as huevos rancheros and brunch poutine. House favorite entrees include fried chicken, three-cheese meatloaf, barbecue-braised beef short ribs, and Cajun-style shrimp and chicken jambalaya. The restaurant is also noted for its indulgent Fatty Melt, which sticks an all-beef patty between two grilled cheese sandwiches as makeshift buns.
