We’re the diner state. That means we’ve gotta be the best at diner food. And we are! But we probably never realized how much of an improvement was needed in the standard diner fare until we found MKT.

MKT, formally known as Country MKT Diner, in Closter, is the very first (and only) farm-to-table diner in NJ. They pride themselves on offering healthier versions of everyone’s favorite classic diner, foods.

So it’s actually the best of both worlds. What you love about a good old New Jersey diner but what do you love about fresh local farm-to-table food?

Their goal is to prove that comfort food can be both guilt-free and good for you.
