If you’re looking at the State Street Grill menu before a visit, here’s the short answer: this Bloomfield, NJ diner-style restaurant serves over 200 items, and breakfast runs all day alongside burgers, steaks, seafood, pizza, and pasta. Prices sit in the budget-to-mid-range zone, with most sandwiches and salads landing between $12 and $18, and dinner entrées topping out around $30 for steak and lobster.
I’ve eaten here more than a few times over the past couple of years, mostly for weekend breakfast and the occasional Friday dinner run. What sticks with me is the sheer size of the menu. It reads more like a small book than a laminated card, and that can be a little overwhelming the first time you sit down. This guide walks through every major section — what’s actually good, what’s a safe bet, and what I’d skip — so you’re not stuck staring at the menu for twenty minutes while your coffee gets cold.
Quick note before we go further: this is an independent, unofficial guide. I’m not affiliated with State Street Grill, and I wrote this based on the restaurant’s own posted menu plus my own visits. Prices vary by location, franchise, and season, so always confirm current pricing at your nearest store, on the official site, or through the app before you order. Menus change, specials rotate, and what I paid for the Rib Eye last month might not be what you pay next week.
What Makes the State Street Grill Menu Different
The State Street Grill menu stands out because it blends diner comfort food with a genuinely wide range of cuisines on one card. You’ll find Greek platters, Mexican quesadillas, Italian pasta, and classic American breakfast all under the same roof, which isn’t something you see at most neighborhood diners. It’s the kind of place where one person at the table can order huevos rancheros while someone else gets a rib eye steak, and nobody feels like they compromised.
That range is a double-edged sword. Jack-of-all-trades menus can mean nothing is truly excellent. In my experience here, the breakfast and diner staples are the strongest part of the menu, the burgers and sandwiches are solid and generous, and the more ambitious dishes (paella, stuffed lobster tail) are good but not the reason to come back. Keep that in mind as you plan your order.
Breakfast — Served All Day
Breakfast is the backbone of this menu, and it’s available any time the doors are open, not just before 11 a.m. That alone makes it worth knowing well.
Griddle: Pancakes and More
The pancake lineup ranges from a simple Short Stack at $7.50 up to the loaded Napoleon Pancakes at $12.50, topped with strawberries, blueberries, and banana. The batter here is thick and a little sweet on its own, so I’d go easy on the syrup unless you have a serious sweet tooth. The Chocolate Chip Pancakes ($11.00) are a good call if you’re bringing kids, since they’re rich enough to double as dessert.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Golden Brown Pancakes | $8.50 |
| Short Stack | $7.50 |
| Chocolate Chip Pancakes | $11.00 |
| Napoleon Pancakes | $12.50 |
| Banana Nut Pancakes | $11.50 |
French Toast and Waffles
The French toast section has some fun variations, including a Cannoli French Toast ($12.00) that leans more dessert than breakfast, and the State Street French Toast ($12.00), topped with caramelized apple, walnuts, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. If you want something more filling, the Viva La French Toast ($14.00) comes with two eggs any style and a choice of meat, which basically covers your whole meal on one plate.
Waffles follow a similar pattern. The Belgian Waffle ($8.00) is plain and crisp on the edges, while the Napoleon Waffle ($13.00) piles on strawberries, banana, and blueberries for a lighter, fruit-forward option.
Specialty Omelettes
This is where the menu gets genuinely interesting. All omelettes use three eggs and come with home fries and toast, and there are more than a dozen combinations. The Broadway Omelette ($14.00), stuffed with corned beef, pastrami, and Swiss, tastes like a deli sandwich wearing an egg costume — in a good way. The Bronx Omelette ($14.00), with portobello mushrooms, sausage, spinach, and mozzarella, is heartier and a better pick if you’re eating a late breakfast and skipping lunch.
For a lighter option, the Protein Omelette ($15.00) swaps in egg whites with diced chicken or turkey, which is about as close to a “healthy” pick as the breakfast menu gets. If none of the set combinations sound right, you can also Create Your Own Omelette starting at $8.00 and build from the ingredient list.
Eggs Benedict
Four versions are on offer, from the Classic with Canadian bacon at $11.00 up to the Ocean City at $15.00, which swaps in two crab cakes. The hollandaise here is on the thicker side, more like a gravy than a sauce, which some people love and others find heavy. If you’re benedict-picky, the Smoked Salmon version ($14.00) is the better balance of rich and light.
Morning Eggs and Morning Favorites
The Rib Eye Steak and Eggs ($31.00) is the priciest breakfast item on the menu, and it’s meant for someone who wants a full dinner-sized steak at 9 a.m. For a smaller budget, Two Eggs with Meat ($10.50) is a straightforward, filling classic. The Smash Avocado Toast ($13.50) is a newer addition and a nice change of pace if the diner classics feel too heavy — you can add salmon for $5 more.
Southern Fried Chicken & Belgian Waffle ($19.00) deserves a special mention. The chicken is crispy without being greasy, and pairing it with a plain waffle instead of a sweeter one keeps the dish from tipping into overly sugary territory.
Starters
Starters here lean toward shareable, fried comfort food. The State Street Sampler ($17.00) — chicken fingers, buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and potato skins — is the obvious pick for a table of three or four who can’t agree on one appetizer. Buffalo Wings come in 10-piece ($14.00) or 20-piece ($20.00) portions with six sauce choices, and the garlic parmesan is worth trying if you haven’t had it before — it’s less messy than the traditional hot sauce and still has plenty of kick.
Disco Fries ($9.00), a Jersey diner staple of fries smothered in gravy and melted mozzarella, are exactly what you’d expect: messy, filling, and best split rather than eaten solo before a big meal. If you want something a bit lighter, the Spinach Artichoke Dip ($11.50) with tortilla chips is a solid non-fried alternative.
Soups and Salads
The soup selection is small but reliable — Soup of the Day and Chicken Noodle or Rice are both $6.00, and the Crock of French Onion Soup ($7.00) is the one worth ordering on a cold day, since the melted cheese on top holds up well.
Salads are a real strength of this menu, and there’s more variety than you’d expect from a diner. The Greek Salad ($14.00) includes stuffed grape leaves and feta, which is a nice touch most diners skip. For something heartier, the Gaucho Steak Salad ($19.00) comes with yuca fries and chimichurri sauce, giving it a South American twist that stands out from the usual Cobb-or-Caesar routine.
| Salad | Price |
|---|---|
| Garden Salad | $12.00 |
| Caesar Salad | $13.00 |
| Greek Salad | $14.00 |
| Chef Salad | $16.00 |
| Buffalo Chicken Salad | $16.00 |
| Mango Salmon Salad | $18.50 |
If you’re watching calories or looking for a lighter meal, the Garden Salad or Caesar Salad without added protein are the leanest choices on the menu, and you can always add grilled chicken instead of fried for a healthier version of any of these.
Burgers
Burgers split into two camps: Just Burgers, which are simple and cheaper (Hamburger at $10.00, Cheeseburger at $11.50), and Specialty Burgers, which run $13.00 to $18.00 and come loaded with extras.
The Jersey Burger ($16.00) — American cheese, Taylor ham, and a fried egg — is about as Jersey-diner as it gets, and it’s a good pick if you want something a little different from a standard cheeseburger. For a bigger appetite, the State Street Double ($18.00) stacks two patties with double bacon and double cheese, and it’s genuinely large enough to share with fries on the side.
If you’re avoiding meat, the South Western Beyond burger ($18.00) uses a plant-based patty with avocado and pico de gallo, and it holds together well on the grill rather than falling apart, which is a common complaint with plant-based patties elsewhere.
Sandwiches, Clubs, Paninis, and Wraps
This section of the menu is huge, and honestly a bit repetitive if you look closely, since a lot of proteins repeat across formats (sandwich, wrap, panini). A few standouts worth calling out directly:
- Philly Cheese Steak ($15.25) — grilled sirloin with peppers, onions, and American cheese, closer to a diner take than an authentic Philly version, but still satisfying.
- All Reubens ($16.25) — a generous portion of turkey, pastrami, or corned beef on grilled rye.
- Korean Chicken Sandwich ($14.50) — Korean BBQ sauce on garlic flatbread, one of the more modern additions to an otherwise classic menu.
Clubs are all priced flat at $15.50 regardless of protein (turkey, tuna, chicken salad, grilled chicken, or ham and swiss), and Paninis and Wraps are similarly priced around $15.00–$15.25 across the board. That flat pricing makes ordering simpler — you’re choosing based on flavor, not budget.
Mexican Corner
Quesadillas, tacos, and fajitas make up this section, and the fajitas are the better value if you’re hungry, since they come with four soft corn tortillas, rice, salsa, sour cream, and black beans. Steak Fajitas ($21.00) are the priciest option but also the largest portion. If you want something smaller and shareable, Chicken Tacos ($14.50, four pieces) are a lighter choice that still comes with salsa verde and sour cream on the side.
Entrées, Seafood, and Pizza
Dinner entrées come with a choice of soup or salad, which adds real value compared to ordering those items separately elsewhere. The Rib Eye Steak ($31.00) and NY Sirloin Strip Steak ($31.00) are the top-tier picks, both open-flame grilled. I’ve had the rib eye a couple of times, and it holds up well for a diner-style kitchen — not steakhouse quality, but a fair cut for the price with a solid char on the outside.
For something lighter on the wallet, Chicken Francese ($19.00) in lemon butter sauce is a reliable order, and you can add shrimp for $9 more if you want to bulk it up.
Seafood leans pricier, with the Stuffed Lobster Tail ($32.00) as the most expensive item on the entire menu. It’s a special-occasion order rather than a regular Tuesday dinner, but the crab stuffing is generous. The Seafood Paella ($27.00) is a fun option for sharing, loaded with shrimp, clams, scallops, calamari, and mussels.
Pizza is served as a full 16-inch pie, starting at $15.00 for cheese and going up to $23.00 for the Meat Lovers. It’s a decent option if half your table wants breakfast and the other half wants something more casual for dinner.
Build Your Own Pasta
This is one of the smarter sections on the menu. For a flat $16.00, you choose your pasta shape (angel hair, linguini, or penne), your sauce (marinara, alfredo, carbonara, pesto, vodka, and a few others), and your protein add-on. Grilled chicken adds $6.50, shrimp adds $9, and steak adds $9. It’s a good way to customize a meal exactly to what you’re craving without paying for a fixed combination you don’t fully want.
Greek Corner, Kids Menu, and Sides
The Greek Corner is small but worth a mention — the Souvlaki Platter ($17.00) comes with grilled pita, tzatziki, Greek salad, and fries, and it’s one of the better values on the menu for the amount of food you get.
The Kids Menu covers the basics (grilled cheese, chicken fingers, spaghetti with meatballs) for $7.00 to $11.00, and each item includes a drink and a scoop of ice cream, which is a nice touch for families.
Side orders range from $4.00 for mashed or baked potato to $9.50 for Greek Fries, giving you flexibility to round out any entrée that doesn’t already come with a side.
Desserts and Beverages
Desserts are classic diner fare — pies, cheesecake, brownies, and rice pudding, mostly in the $6.00 to $7.50 range. The Strawberry Cheesecake ($7.50) is a safe, reliable order if you’re not sure what to get. Beverages include specialty coffee drinks like the Caramel Macchiato ($7.00) and fruit Smoothies ($8.50) in flavors like Mango Surprise and Pina Colada.
Most Popular Picks and Best Value Orders
Based on what I’ve seen ordered most and what I keep coming back to myself, a few items stand out as the best combination of flavor and value on the State Street Grill menu:
- Specialty Omelettes — best mid-range breakfast value at $12–$14
- Build Your Own Pasta — best customizable dinner at $16.00 base
- Souvlaki Platter — most food for the price at $17.00
- State Street Sampler — best shareable starter for groups
- Rib Eye Steak — best splurge order for a special dinner
Healthier and Vegetarian-Friendly Options
If you’re trying to eat a bit lighter, the Protein Omelette (egg whites with lean protein), Garden Salad, and Healthy Man Breakfast are your best bets from the breakfast side. On the dinner side, Eggplant Parm and the Veggie Wrap or Veggie Panini are solid vegetarian choices. The South Western Beyond Burger covers a plant-based option that doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
Secret Menu and Customization Tips
State Street Grill doesn’t advertise a formal secret menu, but the Create Your Own Omelette and Build Your Own Pasta sections function the same way — they let you mix and match far beyond the printed combinations. Servers here are generally flexible about swapping sides, splitting sandwiches, or combining half-portions of two salads, so it’s worth asking if you don’t see exactly what you want listed.
State Street Grill Reviews
Reviews give a balanced picture of the place. Most guests like it, but not every visit is perfect.
Here is how the main platforms rate it:
- OpenTable: About 4.7 out of 5 from over 1,100 verified diners.
- Tripadvisor: About 4.1 out of 5 from more than 300 reviews. It ranks first among Clarks Summit restaurants there.
- Yelp: Over 250 reviews and more than 300 photos.
What guests praise
Many diners mention fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Others like the creative drinks and friendly staff. Brunch gets strong praise as well. One guest called it the best brunch in town.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options also earn good words. Reviewers say the kitchen handles special diets well. One celiac guest said the vegan tofu scramble was safe and delicious.
What guests criticize
Some guests report slow service on busy nights. A few mention uneven food. One recent reviewer found a chicken Caesar salad bland. Another said the nachos arrived cold and missing toppings.
Wait times can also be long. One Saturday guest waited over 30 minutes for outdoor seating. Reservations are suggested, but policies may differ by day.
Our take
The praise outweighs the complaints. Expect creative food, a lively room, and a few service hiccups at peak times. Book ahead and go with an open mind.
State Street Restaurant Menu
The menu is the main reason to visit. It mixes comfort food with global flavors. Dishes change with the seasons, but certain categories stay the same.
Soups and Salads
French onion soup is a house favorite. It uses slow-cooked onions, rich beef and chicken stock, garlic croutons, and melted gruyere. A bowl costs around $8.50 to $9.
The kitchen also offers a featured soup. A meat-based soup and a vegan soup sometimes appear side by side.
Salads are large and creative. Listings show these options at around $14:
- Elote Cobb: Romaine, roasted corn, queso fresco, bacon, egg, avocado, and a lime chipotle dressing.
- Brussels and Kale: Shaved brussels sprouts, kale, almonds, blueberries, smoked gouda, and bacon.
- Beet and Watermelon: Arugula, roasted beets, watermelon, goat cheese, and pistachio.
- Vegetable Soba: Soba noodles, kale, cabbage, and a peanut sauce.
You can add protein to any salad. Options include chicken, steak, tuna, salmon, and shrimp. Add-on prices vary by menu version, so check the current list.
Starters and Small Plates
Starters are made for sharing. Popular picks include:
- House-made chips: Warm kettle chips with blue cheese dressing and balsamic glaze.
- Spring roll or egg roll: A featured roll with a special sauce, around $9 to $10.

- Swedish meatballs: Pork, turkey, and veal meatballs in a creamy gravy with cranberry jam.

- Garlic hummus: Served with carrots and toasted naan.
One tip helps with the chips. The sauces sink to the bottom. Mix them yourself so every chip gets some flavor.
Grilled Flatbreads
Flatbreads work well as a light meal or a group starter. Common choices include:
- Margherita: Basil pesto, tomato, and fresh mozzarella, around $11.25.
- Buffalo: Crispy chicken bites, blue cheese, and sriracha lime wing sauce.
- Bacon Pagash: Garlic mashed potatoes, bacon, scallions, and sour cream.
- Fig: Rosemary fig jam, honey cream cheese, gorgonzola, walnuts, and arugula, around $15.50.
A gluten-free cauliflower crust is available for about $4.50 extra.
Lunch Bowls and Sandwiches
Lunch bowls are filling and balanced. The chicken bowl comes with quinoa, kale, tomato, and a sweet chili buffalo sauce. It costs around $18.95. The salmon bowl adds broccolini, avocado, and dragon sauce. It costs around $26.95.
Sandwiches and handhelds are lighter on the wallet. Popular options and approximate prices:
- Turkey burger: Around $12.25.
- Fish taco: Around $13.95.
- Chicken salad croissant: Around $12.95.
- Sweet potato black bean burger: Around $13.50.
The restaurant also gets praise for its bison burger and ahi tacos.
Dinner Entrees

- Bacon-wrapped meatloaf: Stuffed with cheese, around $21.95. It is a comfort-food favorite.
- Dragon crab cake: A sautéed crab cake, around $16.95.
- Braised short ribs: Slow-cooked and tender, often mentioned in photos and reviews.
- Crispy seared chicken: A top dinner pick on the restaurant’s own listings.
- Seared sea scallops: A frequent guest favorite.
Entrees often come with sautéed greens or a creative side. Reviewers like that sides are not the usual choices.
Brunch Menu
Brunch is a highlight. It runs on weekends, with hours that may vary. Popular dishes include:
- Orange cinnamon French toast: Sweet, citrusy, and around $9.95 on some listings.
- Southwestern eggs’adilla: A savory egg dish with bold spices.
- Eggs Benedict: Around $12.95.
- Quiche of the day: Served with a side salad and home fries.
- Vegan tofu scramble: A well-liked plant-based choice.
Pair brunch with a mimosa or a bloody mary. The restaurant has a bloody mary bar at brunch.
Desserts
Dessert options change often. Guests have mentioned the peanut butter cup and pumpkin crème brûlée. Ask your server about the daily dessert.
Drinks and Bar Menu
The bar is a big draw. It offers about ten beers on tap and 30 to 40 bottled beers. There is also a martini menu.

State St Diner
Some readers search “State St diner” and expect a classic diner. State Street Grill in Clarks Summit is not a traditional diner. It is a stylish restaurant and bar with a modern American menu.
The confusion is easy to understand. Several restaurants share similar names across the USA. One diner-style listing for a State Street Grill appears in Bloomfield, New Jersey. It focuses on burgers, wings, pancakes, and milkshakes.
That is a different business from the Pennsylvania restaurant in this guide. Always check the address before you go. The Clarks Summit location is at 114 S State St, Clarks Summit, PA 18411.
If you want diner comfort at the Clarks Summit spot, order the burgers, meatloaf, or brunch plates. They come closest to that feel.

State Street Grill Scranton
Many people search for State Street Grill in Scranton. The restaurant is not inside Scranton city limits. It is in Clarks Summit, a short drive away. Travel guides often place it in the greater Scranton area.
This makes it a handy stop for Scranton visitors. It works well for a date night, a family dinner, or a business lunch. It is also easy to reach from Interstate 81. One traveler said they left the highway after seeing the reviews.
Here is how to plan a visit from Scranton:
- Check the hours for your day.
- Book a table, especially for Friday and Saturday.
- Arrive a few minutes early to find street parking.
- Ask about daily specials when you sit down.
If you are visiting Scranton for the day, pair your meal with a walk around downtown Clarks Summit. The area is calm and pleasant.
State Diner Menu
If you searched for a “state diner menu,” here is the short answer. The Clarks Summit restaurant does not run a classic diner menu. It offers a rotating, chef-driven menu instead.

- Meatloaf: A bacon-wrapped, cheese-stuffed version.

The State Street Grill menu works because it doesn’t try to be one thing — it’s a breakfast spot, a burger joint, and a full dinner restaurant depending on when you walk in.
