Omega Diner (North Brunswick Township)
Last week I had an exceptional treat to meet up with Mike and Aliso at the Omega Diner (North Brunswick Township). Mike and Alison are the cocreators of the app Fit frame app.
Mike and Alison are initially from Canada but have spent over a month in Switzerland. A few weeks ago, they traveled to NYC. When I found out they were going to be 2 hours away (versus a plane ride), I knew we needed to meet up.
I found a diner in North Brunswick that I heard was good. For their first New Jersey diner, I had to find somewhere that at least had good reviews. We met up at the Omega diner in North Brunswick Township.
Omega Diner Atmosphere: A
The Omega diner is massive. I was not expecting it to be that big! The outside of the Omega Diner is nice and more modern than I was used too. It was an immaculate cut building.
The inside of the Omega Diner was extremely open with multiple rooms. We were lucky to grab one of the last booths facing a window. It’s a nice spacious, modern diner.
Omega Diner Coffee: B
The coffee at the Omega Diner wasn’t good or bad. It wasn’t anything to write home about. The waiter kept it frequently refilled, which was nice. The whipped cream was extremely melted every single time. The coffee wasn’t especially hot that it should melt, but the whipped cream hadn’t been refrigerated.
Omega Diner Food: A
When you experience your first NJ diner, you don’t know where to begin. The Omega diner is known for their great breakfasts: the pancakes, omelet, or how about lunch? The menu for any good diner is so overwhelming.
I was initially going to order the arugula salad, but Alison’s Greek salad choice made me want one as well. The Omega diner has everything a standard diner would have. Luckily the menu isn’t the largest or overwhelming.
I thought this salad was good because it had very green lettuce (versus white lettuce) as well as a large serving of feta cheese and chicken. I also for a side of pita bread which was more crispy than I usually like but no party foul. I thought the food was in the top 10% of diners I’ve been too.
Omega Diner Cost: $$
The cost for the salad (with chicken) and coffee was $15.
Overall Atmosphere/Would I Come Back to the Omega Diner (North Brunswick Township)?
I thought the Omega Diner (North Brunswick Township) was excellent and I would love to come back. Hopefully next time they refrigerate their whipped cream.

Question for you: Do you like toast or bread crispy or still soft and doughy?
I just downloaded the app. Looks fun for those of us not on dailymile or Strave. Thanks for telling us about it!
Yum, that sounds like a great diner with awesome company! I’ll definitely have to check out their app!
I like soft bread personally, but your salad looks great in general, there’s a lot of meat on it too. Sometimes places skimp with the fish or meat on salads but not this one. Glad you got to enjoy Omega with Mike and Allison too- sounds like they’ve had some interesting travels, and I’ve never heard of that app (might need to check that out).
I like crispy pita when I am dipping it in hummus or avocado or cheese. However, I do not like toasted bread at all. I would rather microwave my bagels than toast them. They choke me lol
Not sure if I ever mentioned this to you, but both my parents are from South Jersey and there is a diner in the town where my grandmom lives that she loves and we go to all the time. 🙂 NJ is a special place 🙂
It was so great to dine with you and I loved my Greek salad and garlic bread. Set the bar high for diners and we’ll be keeping our eyes out for some in Vancouver to compare experiences. It’s too bad we will be so far away from you soon, but both of us are really hoping you’ll consider coming out west for a race in the future!
