Atlantic Highlands Town Diner

Says open til 10, but we arrived at 9 and they’re not open.

No stars. Went there on Sunday for coffee and pancakes. We ordered iced coffee and received hot coffee with a few ice cubes in it, we asked for milk and ten minutes later that young girl waiting on us comes back. We order pancakes and she hands us our plates, asks if we want butter and we say yes and if we could also have syrup?? Ten minutes later.. nothing. Our pancakes are cold, so we go up and ask for the syrup again and a few minutes later it comes out. She doesn 't apologize, nothing. It wasn 't even busy, there were 5 tables total with 3 teenage girl servers... pretty sure that is more than manageable. We decide not to eat our freezing cold pancakes, I ask the teenage waitress to speak to the manager and she says that she is! Not apologetic, just rude and laughing and rolling her eyes. I ask to speak to the owner and she 's not in of course, I ask for a phone number and she moves some Napkins around and says oh I used to have a card guess not anymore . I 've worked in many restaurants, not sure how someone under 18 gets a manager position... especially with no customer service understanding. I won 't ever be going back here based on the pure disrespect. Horrible experience.

Tried out for breakfast. The food was good but the bacon did come out cold. Prices also seem high for the portions you get. Maybe give a larger portion of home fries and it would seem better, or serve on a smaller plate so it doesn't look like there isn't much on the plate? Would definitely try again and would also like to see what lunch is like. New owners so worth it to check out imo

New owners, clean and fresh, aptly priced, good breakfast. Worth giving it a try so they can find their niche among a competitive breakfast/lunch variety of town eateries.

Such a special place for us. We love the food, the service, and yes even made some friends there this summer.
