Located at Newark airports’ C terminal, this was the best option for me to purchase a meal to take on the flight with me. They have a range of options at reasonable prices compared to the other places around. They have a good selection of desserts and snacks. Ordering was quick and easy because they have a separate counter for take out - so no need to find a table & try to get the attention of staff. Area has a 1950s diner look which is a sight for sore eyes. Clean and well maintained.

A classic diner feel in an airport, I’m a sucker for that ambiance. The staff were very courteous and friendly. Wait time for food depending on how busy they are can be longer than usual but it’s worth the wait, I promise. I ordered a medium rare City Slicker with fries. That wood stake to hold it all together was nice because it’s not obnoxiously long, you know what I mean? I felt I could leave it in and not have to take it out to enjoy the meal. Next time I dine here I look forward to trying out the desserts!

50's Döner in an airport. And it was great. Polite, expedient staff. About a 20inute wait time for freshly made food after you place your order. Today it was really packed, but our drinks didn't go empty and our service was prompt. The price is typical of an airport, so a little bit more than in town but still fair. The Reuben sandwich was awesome. And the omelettes perfectly cooked.

Located in the C terminal, this is somewhat rare fare to find - a brunch joint. The prices are actually not terrible for being in an airport. I would expect worse. The food is decent. They have a good selection of sandwiches and breakfast food. I had the Greek Omelette and the only thing it was missing was some gyro meat. The potatoes that came with it were quite tasty. You could tell it was made to order, as it took quite a while to get after ordering.

Would not recommend, you might as well grab a bunch of snacks and chocolate you know and love from any of those little shops. This is just not worth it. Not tasty. Got us in and out quickly at least around 6am ish on a Monday. If you MUST eat here the egg platter with toast was reasonable. The bacon was not good though! Don’t get an omelette, super greasy and also cold!! Inedible. Server was friendly. Photos below along with updated menu pics (June 1 2026)
