I noticed while perusing our visitor statistics that someone came to our site by Googling: "24 Hour Diners in sussex northern new jersey".
I figured this would be a useful tidbit of information that is not commonly available, so here's a quick list:
Hampton Diner (EDIT: only on the weekends!)
...That's it, unless anyone wants to prove us wrong.
Though it is technically in Passaic County, the West Milford Diner is 24 hours, and not far from most points in eastern Sussex County. The same can be said for the Pompton Queen on Route 23, which is further, but probably faster to get to.

Prestige Diner
1318 Springfield Avenue, New Providence NJ 07974
We at DM had been hankering to visit a new diner for quite some time. Doing so requires a bit of a drive on our part, as we've exhausted the stock of local diners. We noticed the Prestige Diner had good reviews and wasn't too far, so we decided to make the trip.
The actual diner is easy to miss. It is located in "downtown" New Providence and butts up against the street - parking is accessible through a small driveway leading to the back.
Once you enter, you can see this is a more restaurant-esque diner - it has a front counter and booths, but the similarities in decor end there. We were seated as soon as we walked in the door.
The order:
- Bourbon Street Burger
- Sophie's Sky-High French Toast

The order:
- Bourbon Street Burger
- Sophie's Sky-High French Toast
- Diet Coke
- Coffee
Our order was taken promptly. While we were perusing the menu, the waitstaff wasn't pushy (You need more time? Ughh!) or negligent (Oh, you need more time? I'll be back in half an hour).
The food came quickly, we clocked it at about 10 minutes.
We were pretty impressed with the food. The burger:
The burger was advertised as being "rubbed in Cajun spices", and found this to be mostly true - the burger was very spicy. It also featured lettuce, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, cooked onions, french fries and salsa on the side. I was very pleased with this dish and would order it again.
The better half of DM ordered this concoction:
Sophia's Sky-High French Toast is three slices of french toast with freshly sliced strawberries and bananas with a cream cheese topping. I am a huge fan of cream cheese and french toast (the stuffed french toast at IHOP had been my favourite cream cheese+french toast creation before this), but the way they introduced the cream cheese into this dish was phenomenal! Instead of the usual appearance of cream cheese- thick and spreadable- this was more like a whipped, liquid topping. I was skeptical but open-minded. I dove right in, and with that first bite, there was no stopping me. The French toast itself was mediocre, nothing super special about it, but not bad either, but the topping and fruit really made it pop! I wish more diners had something this awesome on the menu.
Our bill wasn't too bad (with bonus receipt action):
We give Prestige Diner 4/5 Munchies. The only thing they could have done better would be cheaper prices - they're not extravagant but they are slightly above average.
