The menu at Good Eats is a celebration of bold flavors and quality ingredients, designed to satisfy diverse cravings. Breakfast enthusiasts rave about signature dishes like the Cajun Eggs Benedict—delicately poached eggs draped in spicy hollandaise atop a toasted English muffin—and the Lumber Jack French Toast, a sweet, cinnamon-kissed indulgence that doubles as a comforting embrace on a plate. The Fried Chicken & Waffle with Honey perfectly balances savory and sweet, its crisp golden batter paired with the gentle drizzle of honey creating a memorable flavor tension.

The OMG Sandwich—a mouthwatering, flavorful masterpiece—and the Bacon Cheese Burger stand out as crowd-pleasers, boasting perfectly cooked layers of meat, cheese, and condiments that deliver every bite with gratifying richness. House specials such as the New Haven Cheesesteak transform the familiar into extraordinary with tender chopped roast beef, melted American cheese, and three over-easy eggs topped with just the right kick of heat. Equally enticing, the pasta selections, including Pasta Carbonara rich with ham and bacon and Spinach Pasta infused with garlic and mushrooms in a delicate white wine sauce, offer comfort with an upscale touch for those craving something beyond the typical diner fare.

Guests consistently praise Good Eats not only for its impressive menu but also for the genuine hospitality that infuses every visit. Jason, a regular, shares the heartfelt sentiment many feel: the food here is not just good—it’s so good that it compels repeat visits and comes with the added bonus of generous portions perfect for leftovers. Rosario gushes about the baklava pancakes, which marry fluffy sweetness with a satisfying crunch, enhanced by an expertly brewed cup of coffee. Michael highlights the delightful simplicity and warmth of the grilled cheese with bacon and matzoh ball soup, showcasing the kitchen’s knack for comforting classics. Meanwhile, Phil’s appreciation for the perfectly executed fried chicken—crispy yet light—alongside creamy mashed potatoes and tender sautéed spinach captures the balance of technique and comfort that defines the Good Eats dining experience.

    I’ve come here about once a month and I love it every time! The food is so good and priced well too for the huge portions! I recommend going with friends but good to go alone too if you want to have left overs for the next day. The staff is friendly and attentive and did I mention how much I love the food? The stuffed French toast is always my go to.

    Not a freezer to microwave type Diner in any way. We had quality ingredients and preparations of generous portions... and a wide selection items. I always thought the standard was a Philadelphia cheesesteak, but it turns out the New Haven cheesesteak they make is the best cheesesteak I've ever had (has three over easy eggs atop lean, soft, juicy roast beef Plus a touch of heat from I'm assuming habanero). And that's after working in Philadelphia for years. Everything we tried was great. Nice clean, bright atmosphere as well.

    Good Eats Diner has the BEST baklava pancakes — fluffy, sweet, and perfectly crunchy. Paired with a hot cup of coffee, it was absolutely delicious. And the service was great — Michael took excellent care of us. Highly recommend!

    Good Eats Diner truly lives up to its name. I had the fried chicken entrée with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach on the side, plus a starter of chicken orzo soup. Everything hit the mark. The fried chicken was perfectly done with a light, crispy batter that wasn't too thick (a personal pet peeve of mine). The mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, and the spinach was sautéed just right with olive oil and garlic. Simple, flavorful, and delicious; just the way I love my food. The chicken orzo soup was a comforting and tasty way to start the meal. My lunch companion had the lemonade, which came in a classic malt cup and it looked freshly squeezed. It was a refreshing touch, because it is rare to see an establishment serve freshly squeezed lemonade. The ambiance is casual, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A great spot for classic comfort food done right.

    Good eats, the only place where I can eat good and not eat the whole thing. The fact this place warms their syrup always puts them as one of the best “bring your dates and your side pieces” places to ever come. Bring ya chick for breakfast; and your mistress for lunch; then that ole lady boss of yours for dinner. I promise you won’t regret the good food here.

    I was early to a funeral, so I had some time to kill. I found Good Eats on line and gave it a shot. I ordered the basic breakfast. Two eggs with bacon and home fries. The food came out in a reasonable time. It's hard to mess up a simple dish. I am glad to say they made it well. The coffee was not bad and the service was OK. It's a small restaurant that has a uninspiring decor, but it is clean. Sometimes small is good. ENJOY!
