Yeah socially uncooperative, come on call a spade a spade call it what it is, they are vagrants, loitering about. Socially uncooperative funny, as funny as expecting real mayple syrup I hear vermont has some. And BTW it is all I use at the house.

I ate there last year. The food was mediocre at best. The service wasn't good. Could have been an off day, but it's not a convenient location either, and I haven't been back.

Btw, my take on Al's is that it offers probably the best food of any diner in JC. I can get a good variety of very good tasting meals for a decent price. The challenge is getting in and out without a hitch. Inside it's fine, but there are some socially uncooperative jerks who hang around outside.

One complaint: There is NO DINER in Jersey City that I know of that actually has real maple syrup. What's up with that? Charge me fifty cents extra, but please give me some maple syrup with my pancakes/waffles/etc.

The food is comparable to Al's and Coachhouse. Their diners, I don't see how they can differentiate much in terms of food. I have always been treated well at The Jersey City Diner (Colonette) I disagree about the service comment above.

I went there shortly after they reopened and the owner was very nice and proud of the changes, he even offered to show me all the upgrades in the kitchen, which I happily surveyed.

worst possible food ever. the wait staff is rude and crude. no wonder they are empty.

You can say that again.. the neon lights are blinding at night when you are driving past!!!!!!

Not the easiest diner to get too via public trans...

- Lightrail to West Side
- Either the 440 bus or the Society Hill bus

Is there public transportation that you could take to this new diner?

i have not been in it since the change, but i'll be sure to update when i do...

This is the new name for the newly renovated former Colonette Diner on Route 440, in front of the Pathmark and K-Mart. The 50s inspired chrome exterior looks a bit too fake, but I suppose it's an improvement. Has anyone eaten there since the renovation and name change? I always considered this one of the better diners in JC, although Al's on Communipaw has been our top choice the last few years.
