Stopped in around 9:30PM on a Saturday night. Stood there patiently while the manager/ host counted money behind the counter and took care of people leaving. After the 3rd couple came up to pay while I was still waiting, I go fed up and this is how the conversation went: "Excuse me can you take care of me?" His response:... More

We made several trips to the area in the past year from our home in Delaware to plan our daughter's wedding which took place locally, and we always ate at the State Line. It's always good to have a place like this that you know will always have a great selection that will please anyone. If my husband wanted the... More

Now that's a NJ diner! On a recent trip from NJ to the Catskills, we took route 17 north just to stop at this diner for breakfast. The menu is "expansive" yet not at all "expensive". If you are an eggs Benedict fan then please try the eggs Benedict with crab cakes! It's really enough for two! The waitresses were... More

This is by far one of the best diners in NJ. The food is always consistent and the wait staff authentic. Their cheese cake is to die for! More

Have had meals at State Line for years and it is consistently excellent. Large, varied menu with everything you can thing of...in fact, that's the only problem with the diner...too many choices! Tonight I tried their Hollywood Salad...the SL's answer ot the traditional Chef Salad. Huge amounts of meat and cheese...I could hardly find the lettuce!!! Generous amount of dressing.... More

For decades, the best diner in New Jersey. Great breakfasts (try the Mexican omelette). Lunch and dinners are fine too. Their fried shrimp platter is crisp yet succulent with very light batter. Their other fish dishes are quite varied but all delightfully flake and cooked to perfection. Price-wise, you will spend less here than in most restaurants in the area.... More

Sunday breakfast/brunch is a boisterous experience. It's jam packed for a reason. Good food and good prices. More

I've been there more than once with friends who like it. I kept hoping it would get but it didn't. The food is not good, and the tables are so close together that when you scoot your chair back you may be backing into the chair of another patron. Also the wait staff is very abrupt, as if you're wasting... More
