New Jersey's Newly Renovated Tops Diner is a Must-Go!

Tops Diner

500 Passaic Ave

East Newark, NJ 07029

I finally had a chance to visit the newly renovated Tops Diner and I'm still in love! You can tell a lot of time and effort was put into revamping the entire diner and the menu has been condensed, as well. I was a little sad to see the extensive All Day Breakfast menu go, but the food that they currently have makes up for all of it!

I stopped by on a random weekday afternoon, however, there was still a slight wait to be seated. About 20 minutes after putting my name down with the host, a booth opened and my family and I were sat immediately. Our waitress was extremely kind and provided us with water while we skimmed through the new menu.

Starting with the Onion Rings, they came in a nice portion with two sauces that complimented them well. I preferred the chipotle aioli but the buttermilk ranch was also a nice addition. A delicious starter before the meals arrived.

For my meal, I decided to try out the Burrata ravioli and I was not disappointed. The ravioli filling was so cheesy and the creamy tomato sauce on top was perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would order it again. It would be even better with a side salad or soup!

Since I stopped by for lunch, I didn't opt-in for a dessert but I'll definitely be heading back to Tops since it's a go-to spot in my family. Highly recommend stopping by!
