Foodies will be delighted by the brand new Diesel and Duke, now in our area in Montclair, Jersey City and The Caldwells. With a successful original location in New Brunswick already established, the partners of Diesel and Duke, including natives of Montclair, decided to bring their culinary charms to town.
Though it may be fairly new, this is no freshman restaurant.
The menu is hyper focused on a tight short list of beloved American foods: burgers, freshly hand-cut french fries and a special sweet dessert. (Click on image to see 2nd photo of burger.)

The burgers are fresh - not frozen. The grill is heated to perfection, so trust them and let them cook your burger their way. Our burgers were incredibly crisp yet very, very juicy. The buns were soft and warm, and our toppings really melted into the entire sandwich, with layers of delectable flavors in every bite.
The short list of intense varieties of burgers will please even the toughest purist.
The Standard offers their intensely delicious burger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, aioli and ketchup. The Breakfast a creative marriage of bacon, sunny-side up egg, aged cheddar, aioli and ketchup.
If you like it spicy, check out the Holypeno - with bacon aged cheddar jalapaneo, caramelized onions and intense spicy mayo.
Creative fun burgers include a ath S.P.B.B., a burger Elvis Presley would have adored: built with siracha, peanut butter and bacon.
There’s also a bacon portobello mushroom with fresh mozz burger and of course, a fresh vegetarian burger of portobellos mushroom, fresh mozz, lettuce, tomato and aioli.
The owners here are also happy to customize your order.
When it comes to the french fries, this is the spot you want to skip the no-carb diet, since they slice the fresh potatoes and whip up perfectly fried concoctions, from plain to “poutine”, which are fries, gravy, cheese curds and scallions, to cheese fries, cajun fries, and Ranger fries, made with bacon, cheese sauce and BBQ sauce. Wow! Served with forks, this is already one of our favorites.
Diesel and Duke is a true contender for a home made version of Shake Shack burgers, which is no easy feat. Their focus on doing a small menu perfectly has paid off, and the delivery option is pure genius.
If you go or order in, save room for the fried Oreos!
There is seating but this place is becoming very popular so go early - or order in!
