Fun and bright retro diner atmosphere. Food was very good- burger and salad with grilled chicken. As a salad afficionado, I doubted a diner could pull it off well. Chicken was tasty, moist and served on a skewer and fried goat cheese was an unexpected bonus. The only negative was that bowling had been advertised online for our Valentine's Day date but the waitress said marketing had posted the event in error. Two other disappointed couples arrived to the diner asking for the same.

This place is beyond unorganized. Took forever to get super expensive mediocre food and multiple tables never got some items ordered. Seems consistent with reviews elsewhere. Our waiter was very nice but it was just beyond a mess I’m sorry to say.

Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience here. While we are sorry to hear this, we appreciate the honest criticism and will continue to work hard to do better. We hope you will stop in again and give us another chance.

It is a small place. Food is EXCELLENT. They take their time preparing it, probably as they put a lot of attention to detail, so I would not recommend it if you are in a rush. But if you want a relaxing meal with delicious food, I definitely recommend it. I intend to return.
The Diner at Asbury LanesResponded on July 19, 2024
Thanks a bunch for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear you loved our food. We do put a lot of love and attention into every dish, so we appreciate your patience. Whenever you're in the mood for another relaxing and delicious meal, we’d love to have you back. See you soon!

I made a reservation May 20 for June 8 and received confirmation. I also received a confirmation and reminder June 7. My date and I were staying in Ocean Grove for her Birthday weekend and having attended shows at Asbury Lanes, we were really looking forward to trying the Diner. After walking 25 minutes we arrived at 7:50 for an 8:00, confirmed reservation. When we opened the door, we were met with icy stares and scolded by patrons who scoffed, "it's closed for a wedding!" I definitely had no intention of crashing a wedding but also had a confirmed reservation and received a reminder the day before. Not only was this extremely awkward and left me feeling like an idiot, it also left us scrmbling to find somewhere for dinner at 8:00 on a Saturday night. I guess it's good to know you can book a last minute wedding there if need be. So for that feature (not listed on your review choices)- five stars.
