I've been coming here since I was a kid back when it was Matthew's. I am happy that the new restaurant is good and holding its own. I really enjoyed the breakfast here.

Went with a friend on a Sunday morning practically as soon as they opened and had a great experience. We were easily sat and received dedicated service from an older gentleman. He was friendly and attentive with us. We ordered a cranberry spritzer, the jack combo and a pancake combo both w some modifications. All were delicious, could've used slightly more salt but I prefer the option to add more salt than the opposite. Overall, this was a solid choice and for pricing it is very fair; we paid $38 all included for the two of us. Would recommend and return!

Thought I'd give this diner a try as they recently opened. I just ordered a breakfast sandwich which, was okay but nothing special. I had ordered Taylor ham but they served it with bacon. Also, it came with cheese ($2.00 extra) that I didn't order. I didn't bother sending it back as I also like cheese and bacon. Their menu has lots of choices. Prices struck me as a couple dollars higher than for most diners. Service was good for me but I noticed other tables seem to be waiting quite a while for their order to arrive. Clean and bright atmosphere.

Waitress had bit of attitude as we reminded her things she forgot. Omelet was not the greatest. Pancakes very good. First time there. Parking is very limited.

It was busy but had available parking spaces. It's a staple go at the border line of Bergenfield & Teaneck. First time thought the ten years it wasn't stellar. I actually looked forward to dining here & live out of state. The waitress was not listening to our order & got my diner partner's order wrong. We she was informed she insisted that she gave the correct order. When she went back to the kitchen she discovered she had brought out the wrong order. My strawberry crepe were thick which is NOT a crepe. Some version of a crepe pancake which was not tasty. It didn't even taste like a crepe either. The food was just okay. The strawberry shake was a 3.5/5. Before we finished I requested a container & the check since we were in a hurry . The waitress gave us the wrong check! We immediately informed her but she failed to bring us the correct one. I raised my hand to try to get her attention but she remained assisting newcomers at their table & then went to in the back/kitchen for a while. We waited so long I suggested we get up went to the cashier. The owner called her & it still took her a long time to produce the check. The owner apologized but the wait was unnecessary. This experience will have me seeking a new dining spot in the area when I visit again.

Gave this place a 2nd chance, didn’t have a good experience the first time but tired again today. Burger wasn’t bad but being “the pancake factory” the specialty pancakes weren’t good. Ordered the Oreo pancake and it was dry and the “Oreo” was definitely a cheap imitation. My son didn’t like it so I got another order of regular pancakes and half way through, pulled a LONG hair out of the middle. Nope! That was it for me. I told the waiter and he obviously took it off the check but no manager came over, just business as usual. The overall environment was very nice and the place and tables did look clean.

I do not recommend this diner. My mushroom omelette had no flavor and smelled bad. The only two ingredients were eggs and mushrooms, no flavor or veggies. Even the fries were bad which is hard to mess up. They tasted stale. Nothing had salt or flavor. Turkey bacon and pancakes my bf got were good. Plenty of other good diners in this area.

The clean, bright appearance of the newly opened Brownstone Diner was a welcomed sight when we walked in for our first visit. Unfortunately, the owner was yelling at a server behind the counter as we were being seated. The mobile restaurant phone remained on the counter next to our booth and rang no less than 15 times during our meal on the highest volume. It was answered only a couple of times and after multiple rings. The food was okay but not great; egg not poached and toast barely toasted. The servers were scurrying around to try and keep up with the demand on a late Sunday morning. As we were checking out, the owner was barking rudely at another employee about where he wanted takeout orders placed. The menu is very diverse and the servers very attentive. We will try it again for a weekday lunch in the hope the owner has improved his behavior and the dining experience.

There were 2 BUGS in the food. We ordered a burger, and it came with lettuce and tomato on the side so you can put it on yourself. When we went to add the tomato on our burger, we noticed there were 2 bugs on it. We notified our waitress about the bug, and she offered no help. Saying she can’t do anything and that the manager had already left for the day. Poor service that doesn’t care about its customers and doesn’t seek to resolve conflict. Will be reporting to our local health department.

Ordered toast bagel with cream cheese and a side of brown gravy- was brought a nearly burnt cinnamon raisin bagel- waitress said to me you didn't say plain. I said if ordered a pizza would a pizza place randomly give me a sausage pizza? She said we don't have any plain only seeds, I said ok but you didnt offer me that you just brought me cinnamon raisin and says talk to manager. So, I did. His response was so send it back. I just turned and went back to my seat with my elderly mother. a few minutes later, waitress shows up with a plain bagel! I took one bite and it was doughy and not cooked. I get up to pay the bill and ask if I use a debit card (i had cash in my pocket) do I get charged the 3% because its illegal to charge on a debit, I am told no- I pay the bill get the receipt and boom 3% charge on it- I point it out to manager and I'm told to get out and not come back. Another man (who was sitting with manager) follows me out and asks me to explain, he has a retail business, and he isn't aware of it am I sure- I told him to look it up himself. The charge was only 64 cents and certainly I wasn't looking for the 64 cents, and as bad as the experience was, I still gave a 15% tip (normally in a diner I tip $10 minimum) because someone's still working and relying on a tip. Awful experience and I was the one kicked out (though the guy who followed me out offered me to come back for dinner on the house) because how dare I just not eat what I am brought. Also, another patron who walked out 2 minutes before me stopped as he walked by and said, it isn't you man, that was unbelievable. So, buyer beware and if you are using a debit card, dont let them charge you the illegal fee.
