New Dumont diner carries on the legacy of its 100-year-old location

A new diner in Dumont is looking to carry on the legacy of an establishment that served New Jersey residents for over 100 years. Dumont Brothers Diner had its grand opening ceremony on Nov. 9, welcoming hundreds of people, from regulars to the borough's mayor and council members. Many may remember that location as Dumont Crystal Diner, the oldest diner in Bergen County, which had served customers since 1925. Brothers Gus and John Grimanis bought the building at 45 W. Madison Ave. earlier in 2026 when they got word that the diner was going to close. The Grimanis brothers aspire to keep the old diner’s spirit alive while adding their own recipes, customs and hospitality. “We want to stay here another 100 years,” Gus Grimanis told NorthJersey.com. The brothers, who are originally from the Greek island of Andros, have over 40 years of experience owning and operating diners throughout New Jersey. They previously owned diners in Totowa, Paterson and West Orange. They first entered the restaurant business with their father, who taught them about the industry and community hospitality. Customers may notice that the “vintage” feel of Dumont Crystal is still there, with the same memorabilia and photographs. The brothers
