Americana Diner

Amazing cheesecake pancakes! Friendly service and a fun American experience– love!
Prompt timing and all the dishes were exactly as described.
Will come back if I’m in the area again!

Ate here for New Years’ Day breakfast. It’s located in downtown West Orange. They have a small parking lot in the back or you can do metered parking. Breakfast is nothing special; we ordered french toast, egg whites, home fries, and tea. But it was a good brekkie after a night of dancing and ringing in the new year. I get a bit skeeved out when looking out less than pristine cutlery and dishes, but service was good, cheap breakfast, and they had a decent cup of tea.

Good spot to go when it’s late and you’re craving a burger. I always get the Italian burger from here and never disappoints. Friendly staff, too.

How can you mess up a grilled cheese and French fries??? My husband ordered grits, cheese eggs and grits… disgusting. The servers are not friendly and talked loudly. We moved into the area 8 months ago and have never seen this place crowded. No suprise. 1^st and last time folks.

Always enjoy what I get here. My husband likes their omelettes and I always order their pancakes. We order and pick up. Food is fast, hot and good!

This place is alright. The food was alright. I would go again for breakfast and waitress super attentive and nice!!!

I was next door at the Rite-​Aid and decided to try the place since I was hungry, and I was pleasantly surprised. Both waitresses helped me out and they were great, very pleasant and funny. The food was absolutely excellent, nice delicious burger, good sides and they were very willing to work with me on a substitution. I will be coming back!

As a born and bred New Yorker — who just moved to Jersey a month ago, I found they’re food to be pretty decent compared to other diners in NYC. I’ve been here twice and each time, I’ve gotten Camomile Tea, Scrabbled eggs with Bacon and Pancakes! I love pancakes!
Each time, the bacon has been nice and crispy (they were fresh the first time but not the second) and the pancakes were fluffy and HUGE! You won’t be able to finish this unless you’re an overweight trucker! (no offense).
They’re decently priced but the parking lot is very small. Otherwise, it’s a cool place to eat breakfast when in the area.

old school 24 hour diner with Pretty average fare, a pretty large menu, large serving sizes, clean and bright environment, their own well lit parking lot, and what I found to be good and friendly service. Gyro panini with tzaziki, fries, a pickle slice, and cold slaw had a very generous portion allottment of both gyro and fries, and the gyro was tasty although not really special. Breakfast looks good did not try. But hey it isa diner and what else is open at 3 am around here? split pea soup was good.

It’s not the best diner I’ve been to, but I must say that the banana pancakes are probably the most overlooked item on the menu and happen to be the greatest thing in existence… and that’s why they get 4 stars.

Traditional Diner Food and experience. I had an omelet with Grilled Chicken, Spinach and Mozzarella which was really good, but the Home Fries stole the show. We all enjoyed our food but the service was a little disappointing. There were not that many people in the diner and we were basically ignored other than her taking our order and dropping the meal off.

Love this place. Great staff and food!!! Pricing perfect for what u get. My go to spot when I got the munchies!

I’m sorry but this place before it was known as the Americana Diner, was actually pretty decent. Now? Oh boy, I just don’t know.
I went here with some family and friends after a Christmas concert because were craving something late at night. My dad got the Philly Cheese Steak Burger, I got the Sicilian/​Italian burger and my sister got the good old grilled cheese.
The Philly Burger was bland, absolutely BLAND! It makes me wonder how someone could not know how to make fucking burger? It was also drenched in a bland «Philly» sauce… Oh Dear, what a disgrace to Philly
My Italian burger was cooked to Medium Rare just how I asked for it, but the special Italian sauce with mozzarella cheese that makes it an Italian burger was an utter disgrace as Philly. I’m still wondering if the chefs used a canned tomato sauce or paste and worked from there because I know that sauce was an Italian product. Incredibly greasy and soggy.
If I had known the Grilled cheese would’ve been three layers of Krafts cheese simply placed on toasted bread, we never would’ve asked for it. It was really thick and the cheese didn’t even melt as the square shape and corners of the cheese were still visible. Really hard to eat something with so much dryness
The highlight of my night was my delicious hot chocolate and lovely waitress. She was simply fantastic and offered great service.
With great service and bad food, I can only give two stars.

Food was good solid diner fare (my kids loved the pancakes); but the service was odd. Not bad, just odd. The food arrived quickly, coffee cups were refilled regularly, and we were asked twice if everything was satisfactory, but our waitress just seemed nervous and detached. Still, we will likely be back.

Please don’t go to this dinner! I just went with my family and the service was horrible!!! The waitress was horrible!!! She didn’t come to check on us we asked for a refill and she got mad. we sat right next to the tv and she just stood there ate and watched tv didn’t even acknowledged us. The food sucked even the hot sauce sucked! How does a hot sauce suck??! Bottom line please save your money or take it somewhere else. I’ll never ever go back again I rather eat my throw up!

This diner had a stigma attached to it from years past but it has changed hands and been rebranded Americana Diner. The menu has been redone along with fresh baked goods, daily specials, and as to be expected top button stretching portions of mouth watering food.
Forget the past and take a chance on the future. Americana Diner is the best food for your dollar to be found in the area.

Stopped off here for breakfast before we visited Edison’s home. Nothing too exciting to rave about; our omelettes were over cooked and coffee was poured into my cup of tea. The waitress apologized for the error and quickly offered to replace my tea to remedy the situation. Most likely, if I’m in the area again, I’ll pass on returning.

I ordered the hawaiian pancakes for takeout. Its supposed to have coconut flakes and ham in the pancakes themselves with pinapple on top. I get home, what do I find on the pancakes? Apples! What the heck!!! How do put apples on hawaiian pancakes? At least the pancakes themselves were tasty. Would’ve been better with pineapple though…

These guys have the best steaks I’ve ever had from any diner. If you ever go there, make sure to get the grilled skirt steak with mushrooms. Good stuff!

It might take longer than you’d like, but when you sit down and order at West Orange Diner, you’re going to have a massive and tasty plate set down in front of you.
I like to treat myself an order of pizza fries every other week or so from here and man… it’s a huge portion. The fare is typical diner-​ian, and it’s done well. Not the cheapest diner, but by no means the most expensive. Great appetizers. The staff has always been smiley and attentive. Good diner.
