From 1928 to 2015, Oradell's first diner stood at this site as a legendary local hangout for working men and women, owned and operated by the Hagler family for approximately 85 years. Erected in 1928, the brick building resembled a dining-car and replaced an open air lunch wagon the Haglers had operated across Ridgewood Road since 1925. An adjoining tavern and dining room were added in 1937, four years after the repeal of prohibition. The building was remodeled in 2001 and reopened as Felice's Restaurant until closing in 2013. John Hagler, the original owner and avid hunter, was prohibited by law from selling game in his establishment, but each year after the hunt he invited Oradell citizens and families to share his venison stew for free, creating an annual local tradition. The diner was also renowned for roast beef and for its Thursday night specialty, corned beef and cabbage, and became an iconic part of Oradell history.
