Located off of Saddle River Road, this beloved neighborhood staple establishment enjoys high foot traffic among locals and visitors alike and is perfectly positioned in a busy commercial area of Fair Lawn known for its pastrami sandwiches and its hearty menu. For over 25 years, Benny's Luncheonette has offered an excellent opportunity, and my partner and I came for brunch as first-timers today. No reservations are allowed at this location, so it is first come, first served. Upon entering this cozy old-school diner vibe filled with old memorabilia of phonograph records and wall posters, we were greeted by the staff and able to get a booth along the right side of the restaurant where the aroma of great-smelling food just SMACKED one right in the face. The menu was extensive with good selections for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. We decided on the Grilled Cheese Turkey Bacon sandwich and a side of Home Fries as well as a Florentine Omelette. To my surprise, they had empanadas in chicken or beef, which I tried their beef. It was absolutely delicious, not greasy, as it was baked with a thin crust. Complimentary mini Chocolate Chip muffins started our meal. The rest of our food arrived hot and was tasty, fresh, and well-seasoned. Prices were very affordable, and the portions were generous. The service was amazing and attentive, and our server was Jamie. Overall, this place was one of the best combinations of cost vs. quality and portion ratios, where the customer service just pushed it over the top, which we could recommend.
1. Food: rib eye with scrambled eggs and a waffle -- pure comfort food and it was all delicious 2. Barbara: your waitress, if you're lucky. Honestly, I made a new friend just by sitting at the counter. We need more of her in our lives. She's the best. Highly recommended
I love Benny's Luncheonette. I'd stop there for a breakfast sandwich on a bagel before visiting my aunt at a nearby nursing home. It's kind of a classic NJ diner experience. The service is friendly and very attentive. You definitely feel the caring of a family-owned restaurant.
Great vibes all around! Food was SO good and service/ staff was so kind and attentive! 10/10 would recommend
Bennys is an institution in Fair Lawn. The service is swift and friendly. The menu has a large selection. All the dishes are absolutely wonderful. If you go you will discover this delicious gem
Easy parking in the lot. Good breakfast place with very friendly staff. coffee was pretty good too and food was on par with diner food. mini muffins at the table are a nice touch. interesting retro ambiance although a little grimey
Excellent food, service, and coffee. My boyfriend and I both absolutely love it here. The perfect old school home fries are hard to find nowadays and bennys nails it everytime. The mini muffin are perfect with your coffee as you wait for breakfast. The servers are truly hospitable. The coffee is always getting refilled. It's our favorite jersey breakfast spot and we frequent many breakfast Al restaurants around northern New Jersey. Take the drive, it's worth it! Compliments to the chefs and servers!
A nice diner-style breakfast/brunch/lunch place. Great place for brunch after a morning of shopping in Paramus. They have a very large selection of all your standard fare - omelets, sandwiches, benedicts, quesadillas, etc. It's also all very inexpensive. I had an omelet which is pretty decent. What I really liked about the place is that it is very kid friendly. They were attuned to the fact that we had small kids. They were nice to the kids and did not give us looks. They gave us complimentary muffins that the kids could munch on before the food came out. They have a very comprehensive kids menu.
