Your Neighborhood Diner Since 1959
East Brunswick's landmark on Route 18. All-day breakfast, generous portions, and a menu that keeps growing — for over 65 years.
Weekend Brunch Worth Waking Up For
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Sky High French Toast, Chipotle Benedict, Banana Foster's Waffles — served until they're gone.
From the Kitchen
The Booths, the Counter, the Whole Thing
Tufted vinyl, checkered floors, globe pendants overhead. It looks like 1959 in the best way.
The Colonial Diner Story
Colonial Diner has been feeding Central Jersey from its spot on Route 18 for over 65 years. Same stone archway. Same neon sign. Better food than ever.
