| - I'm from the northeast US and have spent a large part of my life enjoying Jersey diners. Upon entrance to Shari's Rock & Roll Diner, it felt very close to a small, trailer-sized version of a diner from back home. Some notable differences, however, include some high energy old school rock music and the smallest rotating glass dessert rack I've ever seen (in my mind a diner is not a diner without at least 20+ types of desserts rotating in mesmerizing circles).
Overall I had a fairly good experience here. The wait staff was very nice and quick, and the atmosphere was lovely for a Sunday afternoon. The food itself was pretty good (I'd give them 4-stars based solely on my enjoyment of the food) and moderate portions - this doesn't bother me because I don't enjoy encouraging wastefulness, but it is something that would keep it off my list as a true "diner." I enjoyed the rolls and the homemade potato chips, although both were a little over the top with the grease thing. For the potato chips they seemed greasy because they had probably been fried at a slightly cooler temperature than they should've been. The veggie burger, however, was really excellent. It tasted homemade and fresh, and I enjoyed all of the color in the toppings.
Consequently, I would recommend this place to anyone who doesn't really feel like playing the restaurant game but would like a nice, quick, and reasonably-priced meal.
