Candlewyck Diner

Their parking lot is small and it's a very tight area to park. They only have one or two handicap spots . They are wheelchair accessible and they do have a ramp. The food is good when they finally get the order right. The waitress we had was rude and she had an attitude. She wasn't attentive at all so the whole order was all messed up . The restrooms are small . Overall I took a few stars off because customer service is a must. You must know how to greet your customers and interact hence smile because at the end of the day you are dealing with people and we all are going through something in life. We should try to treat people the way we want to be treated at all times. Also being attentive is a MUST in this type of business it saves the OWNER lots of money, headaches, And not to mention all the food they waste . I also took a star off because I noticed on my way out they had cleaning products over their lemons and near the soda machines , the same lemons they put in my water .That is EXTREMELY unsanitary specially when that can easily drip on or in the lemon bin and it can be dangerous/poisonous. I won't be returning. I've tried one to many times and the service remains the same unfortunately.

Add to your list of Diners you must stop. Their menu was like a novel full of amazing meals. Don't forget to bring the kids, they had a fun laminated menu with kid friendly opinions and of course you can't forgot the gigantic desert case full of cakes, cookies and more. Our family loved everything about this place and even left pleasantly full.

So I take NJ Transit bus to my new job, this bus runs down Hackensack St and passes Paterson Ave. When I arrived home, I told my wife all about this big and gorgeously decorated (in a Christmas theme) diner called Candlewyck. So we decided to go check it out. This diner has 2 ample parking lots, the main lot is right next to the diner, & one across Paterson Ave. The front façade is beautifully decorated with Christmas lights & ornaments, and once you step inside you will experience more Christmas decorations and lights that'll put a wide smile on your face. Joe was our waiter. He was friendly, courteous & helpful. We opted to get our meals from the evening's special menu. My wife got Clams over Linguini with Squid black ink sauce. She found her Linguini a bit overcooked, but the Clams very fresh and the Squid Ink sauce tasty. I ordered the Berkshire Pork Chops covered in sauce, Granny Smith Apple slices with Mash. My meal was spectacular! The pork Chops were a hefty portion, golden crispy on the outside, moist & tender inside, the Apple slices gave it the perfect touch & the sauce complimented the Mash very well. The diner used to be opened 24 hours but because of Covid they close at 11pm and open at 7am. I wish they closed a bit later and opened earlier so that I may be able to eat later after work & get my early breakfast as well. All in all we had an spectacular time, with the beautiful decorations, excellent service and magnificent food!

My friend recommended me for breakfast. When my family arrived at the diner, the parking lot was almost complete. Also, the lines are narrow, so it wasn't easy to open doors without hitting neighboring cars' doors. I understand that it locates in a kind of busy place, so I didn’t mind much. When I opened the door, the first impression was good. We ordered five different dishes as posted. It took a relatively long time. When foods came out, we loved them as they looked delicious. The hamburger was good. The sour mushroom removed the greasiness of fatty. The problem was my omelet. When it arrived at the table, it was already cold. The mozzarella already became firm. I couldn’t cut it with egg at all. I couldn’t but eat the cheeses separately from eggs. Also, the apples in the apple crape were raw and extremely sour. My wife gave up eating it. In addition, as the last dish showed, the waiters did not stack dishes but put them without any order. It made me see the leftover food still stuck on dishes. I wouldn't say I liked it very much. It was disgustingly unpleasant. When I came out cars entering and leaving the parking lot, we were making chaos. I will never come here in the morning.
