Nov. 2024 Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 4 out of 5 Atmosphere - 3 out of 5 Food quality - 4 out of 5 If you're looking for an affordable dinner spot, this place is a solid choice. The food arrived quickly, and the portions were generous. I ordered the bowl of chili, which had a pleasant hint of sweetness but lacked spice. If you prefer a spicier kick, I recommend asking for hot sauce. Unfortunately, the cinnamon bun topped cheesecake was disappointing. The texture was far from the velvety and creamy consistency you'd expect from a good New York cheesecake. Instead, it was more like wet concrete, and the cinnamon roll on top was dry and bland. I wouldn't recommend it. However, there are plenty of other options in the display case, so choose wisely. Overall, if you're after a meal with friendly service and tasty entrees, give this spot a try. With a score of 21 out of 25 stars, I'd rate this restaurant a B.

What a gem! The entire staff was completely accommodating and welcoming! Our server Patrick was very attentive and quick to refill our drinks. The food was amazing and so are the prices! We were traveling through to Atlantic City, we will be stopping back on the flip side!

Service was awesome from our server Martina. Advised us about the huge portions and suggested the Senior Menu. Plenty of food. The place was super busy, but food came out pretty quick.

Arrived for dinner ~7:15pm. 1st time here. Warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in. Given choice of booth or table. Very pleasant waitress. We ordered our dinners, Meatloaf (2 sides), Chicken parmigiana (1 side), and Grilled Cheese (w chips). Also opted for 2 cups of chili. It was all delicious! Really enjoyed! Also got dessert. The Oreo cake & the cheesecake were average, & the Hershey vanilla ice cream good. The price was very affordable - especially compared to other restaurants! We look forward to coming back to try different foods!

Brand new diner replacing a recently closed local favorite - saw it had just opened this week and decided to stop in. It advertises 24-hours plus all-day breakfast...yes, please! We tried the breakfast menu - nice selection! Service was snappy & food came quickly. GF had waffles with eggs/meat - I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict...all tasty! I normally wait a few weeks before visiting a new venue, but no worries here! Dining area is nice (very similar to it's predecessor - upscale diner vibe;) Worth a visit!

At Moonlight Diner, the menu is designed to cater to diverse tastes.

For those seeking something more traditional, their assortment of hot open sandwiches, including the London Broiled Steak with Mushrooms and the classic Meatloaf Sandwich, are priced at $15.00 and are sure to satisfy. Don’t overlook the classic sandwiches either; try the Greek or Chicken Gyro, both perfectly encased in pita and slathered with their signature tzatziki sauce.

It's not without its highs and lows, though. While the chili is praised for its flavor, some diners like Jason W. mentioned that it might benefit from a spicy kick. However, he also reassured potential guests that there is a variety of enticing items to choose from in the display case. The atmosphere, although busy, blends perfectly with the ambiance of a classic diner.

Overall, my experience at Moonlight Diner was a mashup of quick service, hearty meals, and exceptional pricing.
