UPDATE - 3/2/25
New Jersey, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor New York, is a treasure trove for food enthusiasts.
Most Jerseyans know the big names when it comes to Jersey dining destinations: Montclair, Red Bank, Jersey City, Morristown, Cape May, Ridgewood, Asbury Park, Hoboken, and the list goes on. But what about places that deserve to be on the culinary map, say South Hackensack?
Located on Huyler Street, this family-owned establishment likes to put a twist on diner classics to create innovative new flavors.
Foodies Diner opened in 2021 and is where we came for lunch after our last visit a year ago.
My partner and I were greeted by the owner, Teddy, upon entering this cozy, modern vibe and got a booth right away by the register. Their menu feeds that diner fix with huge selections for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. We decided on the Cod Filet and Grilled Chicken Navajo accompanied with fries. We were treated with the sample of the Chef-Prepared Rice Pudding.
The food was amazingly tasty, made with fresh ingredients and good portions. The fries were crispy and not greasy. The price was reasable for the area. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and full of energy, especially our server, London. I had a great conversation exchanging notes with Teddy.
We had another wonderful dining experience, which we continue to recommend.
