I was born in 1973 and have been eating food for as long as I can remember, just about 40 years. I can’t recall a more recent episode in my life as a ‘foodie’ or human being where I have had such an insulting and ‘let-me-take-a-deep-breath-before-this-situation-gets-worse’ experience than at the Ritz Diner in Livingston. My friend and I had been... More

Always good food, but never spectacular. Prices are higher than they should be, but when you're the only diner in the center of an upscale town you can get away with it. They have some really tasty salad options, as well as a top quality balsamic vinaigrette. Also, they do a better job than most diners with their specials, which... More

All the usual diner trimmings in perhaps a little more upscale surrounding. All the usual large breakfast choices and sandwich/plate choices, and the food is what you would expect. Nothing more, nothing less. So a solid diner.

Really. The food is very good. Huge menu, and almost everything is good. Lots of food for the kids. Service is great. Most of the servers have been there for ever. Usually pretty packed, but never a long wait. Apple pie is amazing. That said, the bathrooms. Oh the bathrooms. They have got to know better. That said, I still... More

Love this place. It brought me back to the days when you could really get great homemade food at a diner served by someone who was friendly and professional.

We went to this diner because they were featured on "diners, drive-ins and dives." The show featued them for their apple pie which was just ok. The sevice was rude and very slow. I ordered the french dip for dinner and the meat had a terrible odor and tasted bad...I sent it back. We ordered two slices of pie and... More

I've come here a few times and what I experienced a couple of days ago prompted me to write a review. The food is generally good. The desserts are very good. The prices are expensive, especially for a diner. The atmosphere isn't inviting or comfortable... tables too close, garish colors. But it's convenient to me and I avoid busy times... More
