Great Lunch Deal: Matthew's Colonial Diner, Waldwick

It's not often that I come across a REALLY great lunch deal...I mean one that makes you do a double take on your bill. Last week I had a playdate at In the Swing in Waldwick. It was a perfect play spot for the 2yr old crowd because there aren't any huge scary slides. And not bad for $5 unlimited play! 

Afterward, my mommy friend recommended Matthew's Colonial Diner which was nearby. It was pretty crowded, which is a good sign! Inside, it's nice and carpeted (my son even took off his shoes/socks!) with lots of space and seats. 

Now, get this, the lunch special includes a cup of soup, beverage AND dessert with the entree! I got a grilled chicken wrap that had sundried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella chunks. It was sooo yummy! And, the price? $8.75. Crazy, right? Usually lunch specials that include everything under the sun are subpar and slapdash productions. You know, limp lettuce and flat soda. 

From a perusal around the dining room I could tell the other entrees were delish as well. Also on the lunch special menu are salads (that are pretty big), sandwich specials $7.25, gyros, Philly cheesesteak, and daily specials like Beef Goulash or Chicken Cacciatore. I wouldn't recommend the crab cakes, though (as with most places they used imitation crab meat). 

And, to top off the meal I had a great chocolate chip mint ice cream (three mini scoops) that my son loved. I didn't have to order anything for him since he ate some of my wrap and fries. 

I highly recommend this spot for when you want to meet up with your mommy friends. It's a true recession special!

Funny that you mention this, I went to "In the Swing" with friend (again a great deal the best around) and then went here for lunch.
