Most Disliked
Some visitors note that the wait times can increase during the peak hours on weekends, particularly Sunday mornings. While the diner has ample seating, the popularity can lead to crowded conditions. Additionally, the diner primarily accepts cash, which might be inconvenient for those who prefer card payments, though an ATM is available on-site. A few reviews mention that certain items, like the larger platters, might have varying levels of cooking depending on the day. Lastly, for health-conscious diners, while there are healthy options, some may find the overall menu tilt towards comfort food and casual dining rather than extensive plant-based offerings.

Looking for an old school breakfast joint? This is the place. My first time in and i was pleasantly surprised. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The food was really delicious and the portions were plentiful. They only take cash, but they do offer an ATM just in case you come in without cash. There was no wait on a Friday morning. There are lots of seating inside and the turnaround was super quick. I will return!

Love this place! The food and staff are amazing. It’s also very clean. Love their cinammon french toast and omelettes. Service is quick and efficient. Even though the place is always packed, you never wait too long to be seated since there’s more space in the back of the restaurant.

I’ve been eating at AJ’s diner for 33 years and it is a perfect breakfast and lunch place. Everything is wonderful, but I don’t care for the home fries that they switched to years ago. Overall it’s a 5 star diner!!

This place is my families favorite place to dine out when we feel the desire to eat out. However, the atmosphere, Service, is also above and beyond! If you want a great place to eat definitely go to AJs, avoid places like Rhody Hen, Cozy Grill, Dante’s, etc, these places like to bash BETTER TASTING PLACES LIKE AJS!
