The praise was given to this great eatery by the good folks at Cheapism, who put a list together of "charming retro diners" in every state in the nation.

The one their experts chose for New Jersey is this great place in Summit, simply known as the Summit Diner.

The Summit Diner is not some new place with a few retro decorations here and there. It's been around a long time, 1929 to be exact, and it's been at its current location since 1939.

For the record, at that time Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the President of the United States. The Summit Diner is known as the oldest diner in the state.

The Summit Diner is a must for true New Jersey foodies. It's a great place and a wonderful piece of Garden State history.
