I've been here many times I should've reviewed it sooner. I stopped by today, Sunday, January 5. Light traffic because of the blue laws the malls are closed. So it's nice not to have to deal with all the lousy traffic and crazy drivers especially at 9 AM on a Sunday Almost nobody on the road. It's a little tricky to pull into the diner so I had to make a right turn and then drive straight across Route 17 and park in the diner It was pretty crowded when I got there around 9:30 AM. I sat at the counter and said hello to John. Got a menu and decided to order the veggie omelette. Add mushrooms well done potatoes and white toast with coffee, of course I talk with John and kid it around with him for a little bit in between when he was grabbing the plates from the cook then bring them out to the customers at the booth or sitting on the stools at the counter My breakfast came out and I was pretty hungry. Loved how the omelette looked. Nicely done on the grill some spots on the edges had a nice golden brown those potatoes look excellent also Very flavorful the omelette with the cheese, mushrooms and other healthy vegetable vegetables. Everyone was chatting and john was having a good time talking to everyone. But he had to pay attention to what the short order cook was saying to him so he could bring the plates to the right tables. Someone next to me was having sausage so I decided to order a side of sausage which was done nicely on the grill. Split and then put on the grill so it was nicely done on the inside of the sausage. Where it was split, of course. I even got one of the danishes for dessert. I'll definitely come back again soon. I know that the patty melt is supposed to be very good so I think I'll have an early breakfast one of these mornings this week. You can't beat a diner like this regular customers chatting John kidding around with the customers and the short order to cook Family places like this not many are left around in the area. So definitely get down to the Bendix Diner . The neon looks great on the top of the diner spelling of Bendix Diner .

The best patty melt in New Jersey, but a country mile. Great service, friendly staff. I will schedule appointments in the area around lunch just so I can stop and eat here.

A classic very old school diner. The exterior and interior is in need of some refreshing but don't let it detract from what is a beautiful design and space. John the owner was delightful to speak with and friendly and the food was wonderful. If I lived near there I would likely make it a weekly stop as it was a great New Jersey experience.

I'd give the food a 7 out of 10... but the ambience of a New Jersey diner gets 1,000 stars. Classic, run down, a bit beat up with duct tape on seats, old tables and booths, old scary bathroom = perfection. Plenty of shiny diners in NJ with lackluster service, this is not that. Host and waiter were friendly and fast, with that fun east coast upbeat attitude about things. Authentic all around. Our breakfast wrap, soup, and grilled cheese hit the spot, very yummy. Go in expecting nothing fancy, you won't be disappointed.

Classic diner and food, very typical New Jersey diner! Can't go wrong with any breakfast item here. Sit at the bar for the full experience!

They say that NJ has the most diners in the country, so how do we know what's what??? I've driven past the Bendix Diner NUMEROUS times and it oddly draws you in. It's it just a truck stop joint, is it a regular Diner??? We gave it a shot. Inside is VERY dated...... Just my style. Nothing fancy, just come in and sit where you want. Service is an interesting event. The owner, I assume, is also the host, server and bus boy. But what.... He's completely blind and works more efficient than most people I've seen work. He has your order memorized, does the math in his head immediately and is prompt and helpful. The food was off the chart. I got the the meat Supreme omelet and it didn't disappoint. ABSOLUTELY packed and MASSIVE. It came with home fries. I also got a side of corned beef hash but the omelet itself would've been more than enough. We began our Diner tour strong coming out of the gate with Bendix. Stop in, say hi to a John and have a tasty and filling meal!
