A classic pork roll, egg and cheese, home fires, and a cup of coffee are all you need. But they also serve a full breakfast menu and make great subs (hoagies or grinders... for out-of-towners).

Quick note: It's an old-school breakfast counter. They don't take reservations and only take cash.

You'll pass about 3 hot dog joints (including another Wind Mill) on your way here, but if you are gonna take the time to get a Jersey hot dog, you might as well visit the original Windmill!

We know it looks like a diner in a strip mall. But it's a damn good diner in a strip mall. The menu is bigger than your head, so go with some type of pork roll-infused omelet or pancakes. Or both!

Gas. Coffee. Made-to-order sandwiches.
