The BEST Diner Of 2024

[@bkupniewski]

I’ll never forget the burger patty video when you wanted a cheesesteak 😂.

[@KingSchratz]

That was WILD. That and the full head of broccoli at the other diner are my two most egregious ones.😂

[@deelive601]

lmaoooo

[@summerBunnyJesusChrist1]

LMBO I remember that 😂

[@mr.niceguy1802]

can you link that video please

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

King, as a Jersey guy I must say you are the best that we have to share with KZbin and the global food community. I absolutely look forward to every video that you post. Thank you for sharing yourself and your meals with all of us!

[@KingSchratz]

Thanks T🫵🏾🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

[@Brass9977]

Yeah, you’re goated, bro. I’m in Hackensack. I didn’t know about for the love of grub. I didn’t know about the fat bastards pizza that I ordered yesterday you’ve given me little specific things that I can enjoy and I know I won’t waste my money for that you’re easily the goat

[@Brass9977]

Can’t forget Singapore mei fun that I’ve now ordered everywhere

[@marshafrank7427]

I'm a retired coast to coast truck driver & the dinners in NY & NJ are THE BEST in this whole country. The Breads & Bagels are better to. Maybe you might do a video on Bagel shops ? Love your content.

[@nicknickson3650]

the problem with many diners is they think "oh we're a diner, that means we need to have a HUGE menu." This results in them oversupplying to accommodate their large menu, resulting in either resorting to low quality ingredients or freezing everything for months. Sometimes less is more. When a restaurant has a large menu....it's a huge red flag.

[@BakiSmaki27]

Didn't Diners always have big menus though? I know a lot of the items were kinda similar but running 24 hours and serving all three meals you kinda have to have a bigger menu. I do think they've had trouble adapting in the era of the delivery apps. There's just way more competition in general these days.

[@RJa26]

Brother you hit the nail on the head with the sports take, I've been a supporter of Tottenham for YEARS, we haven't won anything since 2008, but its so true that if you let the frustration become annoyance or anger of such a menial thing, then it'll affect everything you do.

[@croallure]

As a fellow New Jerseyan (Bergen County 🙌🏻) I agree about Suburban. Definitely one of my go to’s. My other go to is Gotham City Diner … there’s one in Ridgefield and one in Fair Lawn. I say yes to a diner series in 2025!!!! Diner food is a league of its own.

[@ninocrown3247]

Super Bowl night has the most incidents of DV. It’s a verdict on society, some people are so invested in sports or silly topics on social media.

[@Jon_Kuriboh]

Living in Texas we don't have a lot of diners. But we have a lot of Small business Restaurants with soul food, bbq, TexMex, Indian, Jamaican, mostly Caribbean or Latin American foods. So I would love to see a diner series on your channel. Also 70 for all that damn.

[@amaanhussain3094]

stupid expensive here in jersey

[@daniellaurent2662]

Man that all looks good! If you ever catch yourself in Hammond Louisiana, you gotta go to Lee’s dinner. Been a staple in Hammond for over 100 years. Some of the best dinner food and shakes you’ll ever eat. Keep at it bro

[@UltimateGamerCC]

big agree, Diners are not meant to be Michelin Star Restaurants, it's Simple Food that's Delicious. the saying "Keep It Simple, Stupid." is an understatement in this context.

[@johnmayer6052]

Those plates look good and the portions are pretty big..Thanks for sharing

[@highlycaffeinated6864]

Some spreads you share on the channel just hit different. This was one of them, I wanted all of this in my belly by the end of this video. Real talk, King should be on New Jerseys PR team. I feel like he makes more people want to move to this state than anyone else and its not even close.

[@krookeddreamz09]

I'm down in Maryland and everything you got is here too. How bout some Scrapple next time!

[@KingSchratz]

North Jersey diners don’t do scrapple. South jersey does

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

@@KingSchratz Oddly enough, the diners out in West NJ that border PA will often serve Scrapple. I do agree it's mainly a South Jersey, Philly Suburb thing.

[@redx5131]

In the Midwest we always just called those gray fries, but the story makes sense. In college I would get them after a night of drinking at the bars.

[@jayrenperry9307]

yo I live for these videos😂, so simple, and honest! I’ve been watching since b4 100k. It isn’t like anything else, once people start growing they think they have to do these big videos, and it’s just not where it’s at.

[@thecolourofspring5972]

the last time I got "angry" about sports was like 2015 LeBron cavs or something like that. I'm good.

[@curlybeautyblogger]

NOOO...they ruined Tops?? 😫😫😫 That was the spot in the early 2000s. The chicken and waffles were unmatched.

[@KingSchratz]

It was SO much better back then. Its still good. Just, not what it was.

[@curlybeautyblogger]

@KingSchratz Man man. Smh. Keep up the great content! ❤

[@mattg7271]

I used to live near Tops 7-8 years ago, and it was completely overrated even back then

[@johngreberis7087]

Former Diner owner here. Everyone uses Trenton Pork Roll no matter if you call it pork roll or Taylor ham. Actual “Taylor Ham” brand is too expensive. Try my cousins spot in Lyndhurst. The Colonial Diner

[@rnj323]

I've heard colonial diner is waayy overpriced. Not worth it.

[@marquishogan4177]

Definitely looking for more diner vids!

[@sgr1892]

Would love a diner series!!! Please do it!!

[@rnunez6398]

You are so right about diners not being what they used to be. If you haven't already, consider checking out these smaller local spots that don't try to do too much and so tend to do it better than most diners: Jackie's Grillette (Little Falls and Montclair), The Love of Grub (Clifton), and Cyndia's (Totowa).

[@amaanhussain3094]

think he's done a few videos on the love of grub, that spot looks really good

[@KingSchratz]

Three times actually. 😂

[@rnunez6398]

@@amaanhussain3094 Thanks. I did a search and found them. With King's prodigious output of food reviews, it's hard to remember them all.

[@rnunez6398]

@@KingSchratz Gone back to watch those. That still leaves two other places for you to check out.

[@mrawesome3836]

I love the flashbacks of bad places and remembering I watched that video so long ago

[@kristengibson7127]

I love diner food ❤. Ketchup only belongs on French fries and hash browns lol. I love your insight discussion at the end. I always agree with you 💯. Stay blessed 🙏

[@Spartalovesme]

We call them Coney Islands in Michigan. The food is good and not as highly priced as regular restaurants. A coney dog is at each one, a hot dog with chili sauce and mustard.

[@blake6345]

the pandora diner down in jobstown nj is the best around. They have an insane amount of options

[@deanawells4395]

I love a great diner ❤. The Eastern Shore of the USA seems to hit the best.

[@badabingmike]

Sadly, between the pandemic and now Uber eats DoorDash, etc. diners are becoming obsolete. Very few are open for 24 hours. With that said, I love a turkey triple-decker, disco fries, usually brown gravy and American cheese and a roast turkey platter. (Not all st once) 😆 Ngl that Taylor ham egg and cheese burger is dead ass. ! 👊🏼. Chit Chat Diner is nice but pricey. Out of convenience, I go to Coach when it hits

[@rnj323]

I used to think Chit Chat diner was really good. I'm starting to think ever since they made some changes to the menu, the quality hasn't been on point.....and I agree, with those prices, it doesn't help much.

[@jadehom8067]

Splendid video...food looked delicious...enjoy and have a nice week ❤😊🤙✌👌👊

[@msmichele900]

I'm from Jersey and I never heard of disco fries but after leaving the disco I usually went home to bed. I was happy when I found taylor ham here in Georgia at Publix.

[@jaylopez4914]

Jersey diner home fries/hash browns are completely undefeated, I will not hear arguments. Grew up in south Jersey, currently in NC and I miss them so much

[@JasonStutz]

I went to a Diner in Queens a few years ago called The Neptune and it was really good and the selection of food was huge

[@alexakearney]

Im born and raised in Bergen county too. Used to LOVE chit chat

[@rnj323]

Agree about chit chat. For me I thought it was the pricing only that was turning me off but now I wouldn't mind tolerating it if only the quality of the food remained great.

[@ImJustDoug24]

13:40 I would disagree…..being overweight is one of the most unhealthiest things next to smoking. I was 350lbs nothing ok with being fat I can’t believe that’s a thing people say.. “it’s ok to be fat”

Wish I could go back in time to 1950's when dinner's were king.

[@ShootNameJohnny]

I always judge a diner by the burgers. If you mess up a simple cheeseburger deluxe, you can’t be trusted.

[@rnj323]

I always thought if a diner cant make simple breakfast items taste great, that's the red flag to look out for

[@tommywilliam7776]

Thank you,I appreciate you putting me onto The Dave special . Rick now has The Tommy special, instead of pork, I get beef 🙏👊

[@osofam1575]

My parents used to love Suburban Diner, I used to love The Coach House back when they had the salad bar

[@JeanCarlosh]

Boulevard Diner is the best diner I’ve ever had .. right on the Fairview/ North Bergen Border! Best chicken parm I’ve ever had! Better than any famous expensive Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Hoboken and NYC.. their chicken parm is ode bro lmao it’s made to order fresh! The pasta it comes with is ehhh it’s ok but the chicken and mozzarella? Mannnnnn A1 quality! Me and my fiancé travel a lot trust me this the one

[@shortandstuff]

Jays diner was the best. I still miss that place. Topps is definitely different now.

[@michaellanigan7741]

What I need is to find a diner somewhere near me (Fair Lawn) that can make a really good Meatloaf dinner that's not overpriced!😂

Have you been to the Jackson Hole Diner in Englewood? I like their burgers & typical breakfast items.

[@Chilltownify]

[@itsmedi99]

Saddle Brook Diner was the go too in HS! I wonder if they’re still good

[@emphyrean]

I don’t think it’s just a Jersey thing, it’s an East Coast thing. The DC Metro area had a ton of diners with a similar type of menu. Diners are also big in my hometown of Cleveland, OH.

[@BakiSmaki27]

I'm in Bergen County as well. A Diner I used to order pretty regularly from at one point was Chillers Grill. Have you reviewed that one? I haven't ate from there in a while but it was good last I remember.

[@Shawn-gx7hv]

Please do more diner videos. Also, I agree.... I used to be able to get a goood breakfast or something and a coffee for under 10. I'm in Chicago and the closest one to me is at least 18 for the same shit. Anyways, love your videos. Do more non fast food vidz yo!

I always find it strange when people are fans of only winning clubs. My cousins were like that. One sec they were fans of one set of teams that made consecutive playoff runs and then when they sucked, they switched over to another set of teams.

What are Guy's thoughts on NJ Diners lol. Have him make a guest appearance on the show lol. 😂

[@gwar180]

Always went to a dinner with the fam that was a couple of bucks more than most however everything was always fresh, hot, and seasoned well. Also a good server who if you ask whats good they help focus the menu on whats a specialty vs the random stuff on the menu

[@dodgedemon840]

PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND still has the very first diner to open in America,and is still operating

[@leolamonica]

i live in ri

[@dodgedemon840]

@leolamonica The first diner in America was Walter Scott's horse-drawn lunch wagon in Providence, Rhode Island in 1872. Scott's wagon was parked outside newspaper offices and offered quick, affordable meals to the working class. The wagon had windows on each side, making it the first diner with walk-up service.

[@thecolourofspring5972]
