This place has really great food, outside and inside dining, live music friday nights, and it needs to be rated as it is a hidden gem.

I'm glad that I returned to this restaurant. I can't account for what happened last summer, but service then was slower and, since I'd been hankering for a nice steak, only to find that they were out of their prime cut, I was hesitant to reexperience the same scenario. However, it was MOTHERS DAY and a place my family often goes on their own.Well, number one, the service was top notch. Plus, I didn't mind waiting a bit for my surf and turf (tender steak and a lobster tail) because I knew that each meal was being prepared to order back in the kitchen. A glass of wine, beer on tap, and sodas kept the family refreshed while everything simmered and roasted.We received individual attention from the owner who was scuttling about, ensuring his patrons of a great meal and timely service. Delicious! Down to the last morsel. I wasn't disappointed this time.

We stopped with a group of three for dinner and for some reason expected typical pub food. Boy were we surprised with the quality of the food and its great taste. Overall, we had three different selections, and all were extremely good. These included the Chicken Pot Pie, the Bangers and Mashed, and the Beef Stew.We are often passing through the area, and we will be sure to eat here again!

I had lunch with a friend at Blu Alehouse. Megan was our server. She was very accommodating. We started out being seated outside, which my friend had requested, but since there were no umbrellas for shade and it was quite warm outside, I really needed to move inside. Not a problem. Megan simply reseated us inside to a quiet spot where we could catch up. This place is great for that, since itâs not noisy the way many other restaurants are. My friend suggested the lobster rolls, and since I had never had one, I jumped at the chance. And since the order included two, we shared the order, which also included the restaurantâs homemade potato chips, which were spicy, crispy, and delicious, as was the lobster roll, along with an Arnold Palmer to drink. It was a very nice lunch, and Megan was perfect...no rush, very nice, and was even helpful when we were looking for someplace else for dessert. I would definitely come back.

After a business meeting we ordered takeout at this diner. A year ago we visited this diner and the food and service was great. This time we ordered breakfast entrees including eggs, toast and waffle combo. It was absolutely horrible and uneatible. The scrambled eggs were hard, no toast was included, the sausage was turkey sausage with a bad taste, and the waffle batter had too much water. The dessert was supposed to be tiramisu, but it wasn't. All in all, we were not able to eat this meal and were extremely disappointed. I do not recommend this diner.What you're describing sounds like a far cry from the delicious diner classics we've made our name on -- I'm concerned that this was your experience. Everything you ordered, from the scrambled eggs to the waffles, should have been incredible, and if it wasn't, we want to know about it so we can do our best to make it right in the moment. I hope we can get another chance to impress you, showing you the food you loved from us a year ago. Best, Sam M.

This was the first time my wife and I have eaten at the Galaxy Diner in Butler, NJ but I can guarantee it wonât be our last. Upon entering we were greeted by the Host who showed us immediately to a booth. There was an A-frame showing the nights specials. I spotted the first item Prime a Rib with Au-jus (Bingo we have a Winner). Next we were greeted by our server Mike who asked if we wanted to order a beverage and if we had any questions regarding the menu or the specials. My wife ordered roasted stuffed turkey which came with a choice of homemade soup - she had chicken orzo, mashed potatoes and gravy, choice of vegetable she had baked zucchini. I ordered an end cut of prime rib (tender, juicy & melt in your mouth delicious & a huge portion) I had homemade pea soup (fabulous) sautéed spinach and baked potato with butter & sour cream. Diner also came with dessert, my wife had rice pudding with fresh whip cream and I had Italian rum cake (delicious & super fresh) we both enjoyed a great quality hot cup of coffee to end a phenomenal meal with outstanding service. I do want to acknowledge the proffessional, excellent service we received from Mike, he is truly an asset to the Galaxy Diner and on our next visit here we will ask to be seated in his section.

We tried out The Butler Family Restaurant for the first time this past weekend. We had an appetizer an a couple of entrees for dinner. The food was basically average and so was the service. The appearance on the inside was nice, but we probably won't rush to go back.

When they first opened and the family who owns it was cooking, the food was out of this world. Now, the food is literally inedible. From the mac and cheese that had MUSTARD in it, I imagine for color?, that both me and a friend sent back, to the "black bean" burger which had zero black beans and instead was a gummy mushroom patty, to the twice in a row my friend got sick from eating sandwiches there, just awful. There was another recent visit when the mac and cheese was so salty as to be inedible. They need to get people who know how to cook back in the kitchen! So disappointing. I would rate it one star for the food, though the fries are still great. Still, can't make a meal out of fries. But we used to come here literally just to eat the delicious food. Now it is completely inedible. Three visits in a row (a week or two apart), just sent food back or left it uneaten. So sad. :( Giving it the three stars because still has excellent beer selection and ciders on tap, and the atmosphere is still cool. But we don't go there anymore for anything but trivia night and now eat dinner before we go.
