This is one of the better diners in the area. The service is very good and the food is pretty good too. The breakfast is spot on good. Lunches are eh, their soup sucks. Some broth with a noodle or two and a carrot/celery. Somebody told me the owner has lost interest. I have gone here 10+ years and have seen a decline. Support your local businesses! When this is gone, enjoy your egg McMuffin or go watch the food fights at Dennys.

What a find! Pure Jersey Diner bliss! We arrined 10 am on a summer weekday. Not many people seated in a big room. Food ess good and generous. Our waitress extremely nice... but it was tough to get her attention for the check. Dont give it a miss if you are hungry.

Good quality classic diner Food with a vast variety of options to choose from. Fast and attentive service ensured that I had everything I needed. Staff made me feel right at home.

The waitress was the best. We had a little 3 years old and she came with a coloring book and crayons. She even spoke to the little and made her feel special. The food was good and there was a larger amount of it. We were served with a smile and and had a great time. We were not rushed out and enjoyed our meals and each others company. I would go back anytime.

Great tasty Hot food!! First time going today for lunch and I loved the food. I left full and satisfied. My waitress was very nice, she never told me her name but her service was fast and delightful. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. I had the open-faced roast beef with mashed potatoes gravy and collards mixed with black eyed peas

1st and last time. Asked for an omelette well done it didnt come like that and then I asked to just take it off. They made me another 1 that was too well done. Omelette was supposed to be sausage, but all the sausage was in 1 spot not even distributed. They did have a fruit bar but was never explained what you had to order to get it.

Management ignored me for 10 minutes while I stood at the door waiting for a table. Then I sat myself. Then sat for another 10 before I left. Place gets 2 stars since the inside looked clean and pleasant. Male manager (blue shirt, blading spot) spent more time on phone and drinking coffee then servicing guest.

We where seated by a window. Flies were coming out of the window frame. We moved our seat far away and flies were everywhere. I saw other customers swatting at them too.Food was awful. Ordered a Greek Salad. Came without dressing and was supposed to be on pita. Grape leaves were coated in cold gloppy oil.But worst of all, our waitress was awful. Besides being an awful waitress, she insulted the other individual I was with, who is developmentally delayed. She made faces while looking at her a number of times and even asked me whats wrong with her.

Nice varied menu; good food, fairly typical diner pricing. We had a minor issue, but they fixed it quickly and easily. Will be back.

A quiet place to eat. Good breakfast, typical diner food which most times thats all your looking for. But the quality has gone down over the years with different management.

Good diner with a good selection. Not too many servers though in the morning led to service which was lacking a bit. Liked the Western Omelette special

Review №15

Salad bar, dessert and coffee were good. Soup and main course left plenty to be desired. But the price paid sort of justified mediocre quality of the meal.

Review №23

Gross. My burger was pink, I asked for well done. Im not sure how you. Can mess up fries but those werent good either. Sent that all back. Pickle tasted so old I wanted to gag. The bathroom was the nastiest bathroom Ive ever been in, flies, urine All on the toilets, the floor, the smell 😷. The cups are out dated, my son got chocolate milk in a coffee cup. He hot French toast which was okay at best. Syrup was sticky as was the table. The waitress was pleasant, and she understood why I complained. Never again.

I want to like this place, I really do. Its been here for a while and Ive never had a terrible experience. But more often than not, the food is mediocre (burgers and breakfast are really good though!) and the staff are not very welcoming. The waitresses dont seem very caring and have a tendency to botch orders. However, the place was refurbished and its starting to get better. Have some patience and youll find no issues here.

Review №33

Very poor service. Waited forever to order. Food came out at different times. I ordered the stuffed salmon. Burnt on the outside. But center was uncooked. Told Waitress. She said I had to talk to manger. Friend wanted to take her food home. Never offered a to go box. Never came back with check. They seem to only treat the regulars wit good service. Talked to manger. Gave me a hard time about the food that I did not even eat. Charged me for part of my food. When asked about a senior citizen discount. Was told they did not offer that cause food was cheap enough. Then had the gull to ask how much tip I was going to leave. Will never go back there. Update on this review. After I got home I hot sick and threw up what little I ate there.

The Galaxy has changed hands many times. This particular group leaves much to be desired. The food is sub par, at best. Management (that day) was rude. Our waitress though was pleasant. Eh..

Review №44

No heat, employees freezing cold with coats on and nose running it was so cold inside. Temp outside was 37 and inside close to the same. Shame on the owner doing nothing to get the heat on. I should have left but I felt sorry for the employee that came over to take my order. I got my food and got the hell out to my warm car. The board of health most likely would have closed the place down. And fined the owner it was so cold inside. and blatant disregard for the health and safety, and abuse of employees. SHAME ON THE OWNER.

Review №45

Cold food, awful waitress and horrendous customer service... the place smells of old wet rags, the waitress was extremely rude and had absolutely no knowledge of menu and allergens. They gave us our food cold and had hair on it. When we showed as soon as she placed the food for us, she pleaded that it was normal for hair to be on the food!!!! She had an AWFUL attitude and clearly showed it. Store manager did NOTHING ABOUT IT and pleaded that we didn’t have to come back.This place is a JOKE!!!! Don’t waste your money or time on this dump!!!Food took over 45 minutes to be served. Absolutely unacceptable service!!

Review №47

Used to be an enjoyable place with great food. The last THREE times I have went I literally sat with my family for 10-15 minutes without even a look from the waitress. The service is atrocious and today I walked out for the final time. This diner is an embarrassment of what it used to be. The person who sat me watched us walk out and couldnt have cared less. Id love to say if the food is good or bad but, I couldnt even tell you how the water tastes. Save your TIME and money for someplace that cares.

We had to leave and go to another diner. The Galaxy Diner is under new management yet again. They dont offer early bird specials anymore and all of the prices have gone up beyond diner prices!!! My friend and I were going to order open-face turkey sandwiches to find they didnt come with anything. Then the waiter haggled with us over which vegetable he would allow us to have.

Review №54

The food is delicious but the service is absolutely horrible. It was Memorial Day so extra busy. They only had one chef today and two waitresses for the whole place. I know this because they complained the entire time. the manager was seating customers and ringing them up on the register and she was incredibly nasty. She kept complaining hey she should have been a waitress today. well then. if your nasty to the people there, do you think they will come back next time?! Probably not.

Ive read all the past reviews & have to say that I had a great experience, This is a Beautiful Diner, Not every body knows that It recently changed ownership & the staff is very helpful & pleasant. The food is above average and far better than the previous owners. I like this place cause I go at night & look forward to stopping here to cap my night off, Give this place a chance to regain its reputation, Obviously the past owners destroyed its image. You wont regret it!

What an absolute dump i walk in from the cold expecting a nice warm place to have breakfast well not so much because apparently the heat didn’t work. Despite knowing that my girlfriend and I sit down ready to give the place a chance we both order drinks so when she goes to pour her creamer in its comes out curdled literally looked like cottage cheese being poured into her coffee so we’re sitting there still willing to give this place a chance. A few minutes pass and I call to the waitress several times waving as well in the most polite possible way making sure not to interrupt her helping other guests I receive no reply she passes again I wave and call no reply. At this point we’ve both had it and decide to leave the hostess was very disingenuous and offers us another place to sit and we kindly decline and leave this was our first and last time at this place.

Went with family to celebrate Mothers Day and had a horrible time. Staff did not seem to care about the customer experience at all. Orders were left incomplete and our waitress told us we were sitting at her sisters table (as if we had control over this lol). Manager completely blew off feedback. Needless to say we wont be back.Wont be back.

If youre looking for a genuine diner experience, dont bother coming here! The food has no flavor, the service was meh at best. The meat loaf looked like it came out of a can and the mashed potatoes tasted like, like, nothing! It all tastes like nothing... Had to put 1 star to leave a review.

Although the prices are good and the parking lot is good the interior and Decor really needs an update a lot of ripped seats and stains in the ceiling very outdated. The salad bar was good but the food was only okay very typical nothing special. They could use to be a little bit better quality. I will say the employees though have great personalities and are very nice.

Review №77

Im liking this place. Im liking it a lot.Much has been said about the old school slice at Amore. This establishment and their pizza are of the same vintage. However, Brothers is less recognized and celebrated. Its just a hole in the wall along the LIE, easily passed by without notice. If you did youd likely not see anything appealing or promising about it. Walk in and it doesnt get much better. But then again, humbleness, lack of pretension are signatures of some of the best pizza joints around and defining characteristics of old school.Pass by without noticing or caring and not giving Brothers a try and you will miss the opportunity to have the best slice around.Go! Tell them Eli sent you. Theyll ask whos Eli? They may not know me now but theyll get to know me well as I will be a regular.

The woman who called to cancel my DoorDash order was exceptionally rude. We get it, you dont like doing it. Dont offer it and go under. Full service dining is dying, I have 135 options at my fingertips; we are no longer forced to deal with Ethyl, Blanche and Agnes to have access to a wide variety of inexpensive food at any hour.

The waitress didnt see to know what she was doing. We had to ask a 3rd time after our food came for silverware. The food was cold. The bacon tasted like it was cooked in decades old grease. 2 of our meals came with choice of juice. We asked for it 2 times from our waitress then the manager came to ask how things were and we asked her for our oj. She said our meals didnt come with it and i had to tell her to look at the menubit does. We had to wait forever for our check which was made out for half of what it truly cost and I had to wait even longer while the manger took a personal phone call before totalling up the correct check. It has been a decade since I last went here. I remember it being good back then, but it sucks now. I will never return.

Went to Galaxy twice during our 2 week visit to NJ. Both times were for late lunches, once on a Saturday, and once during the week.On Saturday I had a delicious chicken pesto sandwich that was very large, and I could only eat half, so I had lunch for another day. The fries that came with it were ok, but I prefer them crispy and hot, and these were a bit soggy, and colored off quickly, so I only ate a fraction of then.For the weekday lunch, I got a special, the meatloaf, which was a great deal since it included the salad bar and soup, as well as 3 slices of the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn. All was very good, and had 2 pieces of meatloaf and had the potatoes and corn for dinner there next night.The place was not busy at all both times, so I dont know where else people prefer, but the Galaxy seemed to be a solid choice for us. I wish I could remember the name of the waitress we had the first time, as she was fantastic! Great service, and she went out of her way to help us find some good places to search for Pierogi.

Review №98

Ive lived in Rahway for many years and have, of course, visited this diner on several occasions. Their customer service sucks! Today, we waited more than 5 minutes to be seated when there was no wait, plenty of available tables, and the lady behind the front counter was counting receipts. She then turns and has the nerve to complain, Everybody decided to stay close to home and eat local today....as if a busy dinner on a Sunday at noon was a bad thing. The waitress then went missing for a while ...and, again, the lady at the front counter was rude when checking our bill out, not only to us, but a couple other folks also waiting to pay.Today was the last chance I gave this diner and their bad service is quite consistent.
