Marilyn`s Cafe in Chester

Excellent food, service, & ambiance!! Wonderfully creative and different offerings for a local eatery.

Just picked up a yummy breakfast...stop in

This place is a great, humble and homey place for no frills, delicious breakfast. Cozy and quaint, the small wait is well worth it.

Great place! Friendly and attentive staff. Fun decor. Food is delicious! Got an omelette special and cheese blintzes and we were very happy! Prime rib hash awesome too. Would recommend!

Best breakfast around. Excellent and genuine (not instant) grits (need to ask, not on menu), biscuits and gravy, great omelette selection (plus make your own) and good old fashioned service. Never dissatisfied. Cash only, but worth every penny.

Stopped here for breakfast on a fall weekend getaway. Best diner experience! - and I live in NYC. Service was so attentive. Coffee came in a big mug. Food was perfect - crispy corned beef hash, eggs cooked perfect to order. Portions are humongous. Great find!

Cozy place ... Marilyn Monroe themed ... well prepared food ... fast service in a 'you don't have to rush' atmosphere

I can't believe those nail's are realGood family, food & time!Enjoy.Especially enjoyed the theme!

Very good like all the time

Over priced. Cash only ? Really. You can go,across street to Chester diner and at least use there bathrooms,to,throw up after you eat

Great breakfast place in Chester. Their daily specials are interesting and always delicious.

This place a small portioned glorified diner. For the prices and the sized plates I wouldn't go back. Nothing special about the food, would've rathered my local diner who brings a huge plate full, disappointed.

Great food and service, very charming place. Only negative is that they only take cash

Great old fashioned breakfast place. Excellent food, and friendly service.

Good food-good service! Small place. Lots of memorabilia. Worth a visit! do it during the week to avoid the wait.

Friendly staff and great breakfast foods. Love their omelets!! Marilyn's favorite is my favorite! Go in enjoy the food and the hospitality. Great Marilyn Monroe and country decor. A fun place for a delicious breakfast.

A classic diner serving comfort food...with lots of character in historic Chester, N.J.

Great food. Staff & owner very nice and friendly. Nice & cozy! Will be definitely going back!! Cash only.

Old school breakfast. Great menu. Lots of choices and very tasty

My fiance always orders their pancakes I had their egg whites with mushrooms. Delicious. Friendly service. Feels like home. Pictures of Marilyn everywhere.

This spot never fails to impress. They have good food for fair rates, there are no long waits even when they are loaded.

Delicious omelette specials (chili and cheese....and taco guac) plus banana pancakes from the regular menu. All super yum! The home fries were some of the best we’ve had.

These guys are great hosts.. very good brunch after a long time and loads of semi outdoor seating space available. Home fries are a must try.

Love this place! We go after church or weekend mornings. Friendly family atmosphere. Kids of all ages welcomed. I have only had breakfast there but I see people in there all day long. Always open.

We called to see if they had vegan options and out of nowhere got a huge amount of attitude. I was told that they "served American food" and if I didn't like it then I shouldn't go there. Not sure how all the farmers in the area feel about their crops being referred to as un-American. Not sure why a restaurant owner would get angry if customer wanted to eat fruits and vegetables. Really not sure why such an innocuous question angered the owner.

It’s cash only, very packed on Sunday mornings, kid friendly. The marilyn favorite was delicious. My favorite diner ive had so far! My date got eggs and ham, classic diner food. The service does try to rush you which was frustrating.

Great food. I'm holding one star because the orange juice was watered down.

Great breakfast and terrific Service

Great family atmosphere. Great food.

Wonderful little place! I love all of the decorations here. Service was fast, food was good. Would recommend!

Nice cozy atmosphere, very good breakfast that's reasonably priced, would definitely recommend !

Feels like home everytime

Home baked everything....needs no words

Great service, very good breakfast. Would have given 5 stars, but slightly over priced. Eggs Benedict were great, but heavy on the hollandaise.

5 star review because the atmosphere is fun and amazing to look at for all ages! Staff is always so polite every time I go in there and the food beats my expectations every time! 10/10 reccomend to everyone!!

Great little place. Went for breakfast for the first time and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and interesting to see all the decor on the walls- a real "old fashioned" breakfast spot for sure. And their coffee was great! Will definitely be back.

Love this place. Great traditional breakfast and lunch. Patty melt is my favorite. Just wish I stopped here more often. Should be open for early dinner too.

Its my to go place for breakfast. Loved the food and staff at this place.

Great breakfast spot. I got the avocado eggs Benedict special and loved it. The service is great and the staff is friendly.

We’ve been going here years now & we love! The foods always great. Some staff friendly, occasion flys but other than that amazing!!

Marilyn's Cafe has that family feeling when you walk in. The service is great and the people are friendly. Most of all the food is amazing.

Great food and service

Great atmosphere, food was really good and came out quick. Owner greets every table. Heads up though, it's cash only.

Totally a classic! The food was fantastic and exactly what you would expect to see in a Jersey Diner. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the service was on point. Best scrapple anywhere and you can't go wrong with SOS (chipped beef on toast). This place was so good, we had to go back the very next weekend. Stop in, you won't be sorry.

Food is ok but owner refuses to lower the music volume. The sound level seriously interfered with the enjoyment of breakfast. Not going back again.

Cozy diner where everyone is treated like family and the food is excellent each time you go.

Not you typical strip mall eatery. A hidden gem. Been there twice. First time I had a tuna melt and second time the Happy Waitress open face grill cheese. My husband had eggs Benedict and second visit, lasagna. All meals were delicious, plentiful and served hot. The servers were very pleasant, checking to see if we needed anything.The inside decor is amazing, lots of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia. Even the rest rooms are decorated with homey signs. We will be back.

Great breakfast place

Food was very good. Atmosphere and service a delight.

Delicious! I especially love the omelette specials, never lets you down! I come here whenever I'm in town. Good coffee, great service, and no shortage of local charm.
