Since 1974

A Paramus original

Some things shouldn’t change.

Tom Sawyer Diner has been family-owned on East Ridgewood Avenue since 1974. Breakfast is served all day, the soups are homemade, and the menu runs from American classics to Greek and Italian specialties, the way a real New Jersey diner should.

Whether it’s eggs at 7 AM, a burger with friends, or dinner with the whole family, there’s a booth waiting for you.
