    Meat Lover's Omelette
    Nia D.

    Last weekend, after some birthday/St. Patty's Day drinks at a couple of places, we were in the mood for some food. My boyfriend suggested a diner and I was right with it! After looking for a while and seeing that there really aren't any diners left that were open in the city (what happened??!?), we decided to make the trip to South Jersey to this place. Drive wasn't too bad honestly. Pulling up, it had that classic diner look and the same inside - booth seats, bright lighting outside, etc. Quick service - we were seated immediately. Good amount of people were there dining also, but wasn't overcrowded. He went the breakfast route with pancakes, fruit and and meat omelette while I went with the greasy eats (Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla and app sampler). Typically diner food - tasty, good sized portions, filling and affordable. Thanks for helping us fill our late night cravings!

    This is what one thinks of when asked to think of a diner. The driveway does kind of sneak up on you (you are on a divided highway and there are bushes!). The exterior and interior are both diner. No matter what this building may be in the future, people will see diner. The bathrooms I'm sure will remain snazzy with black and white designs. The food was very good, obviously cooked to order. I appreciate the waitress giving her opinion on the dishes - I got a delicious cheeseburger as a result!

    It's your typical standard diner food. Breakfast is usually always a plus. I enjoy stopping in every once in a while to eat.

    Our server was very nice. The menu selection is wonderful and pages of amazing photos and lots to choose from. The only issue I had was that the floors were filthy dirty.

    Food was terrible. Casadea had hardly any cheese. Bread on sandwiches was at least 1 in thick with nothing in between.

    Has the new Pandora restaurant opened for business at the former Blue Diamond restaurant on Route 38?

    From what I can tell, no. They may be still remodeling the inside as well as the kitchen. I'm sure that when they do reopen, there will be ample banners and signs telling you… Read more

    I came here because multiple friends swore I'd see chickens running around the property. I did not…read moresee a single chicken. At this point I'm starting to wonder if the chickens are real or if I've been the victim of an elaborate prank. Fortunately, the food more than made up for my poultry disappointment. We ordered a couple different wing flavors, including the Honey Mustard and a blueberry-based sauce, and both were excellent. The wings themselves were massive, meaty, and cooked really well. The Honey Mustard had a nice balance of sweetness and tanginess with just enough mustard bite to keep it from feeling overly sweet. The blueberry flavor was surprisingly good too. It had a sweet-tart fruitiness that sounds unusual on paper but worked really well with the smoky, savory wings. Both sauces had plenty of flavor without completely overpowering the chicken. The atmosphere is classic neighborhood pub. Cozy, casual, and the kind of place where people seem comfortable settling in for the whole evening. Downstairs there's a bar and shuffleboard area that definitely attracts a younger crowd. It gets pretty lively and noisy, which adds to the fun if you're there with friends. My only real complaint is that parts of the place felt a little messy. The stairs leading downstairs were sticky, and parts of the basement floor were too. Nothing that ruined the experience, but it was noticeable. The staff, however, were fantastic. Fast, friendly, and personable. Even when things were busy, they kept everything moving and made us feel welcome. Overall, it's a fun spot with great wings, good energy, and a laid-back crowd. Still giving it four stars because I left without seeing a single chicken, and I feel mildly betrayed. But if you're looking for a place to hang out with friends and eat some seriously good wings, it's definitely worth the visit.

    We have been seeing a billboard sign for this place on our way into Philly visiting family. On our…read moreway home after one of our visits we decided to make a detour and give it a try. We ordered our wings with the sauce on the side. I think that's the way to go so the wings stay crispy. They have a lot of wing sauce options. We also ordered the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls and Cheese Balls as appetizers. Both were pretty good. There is a large parking lot and we even saw some chickens roaming around. The space is a good size with a large bar in the middle. Service was good. Probably wouldn't go out of our way to come back but if we were ever back in the area we would stop by.

    Being originally from the south, Sonic is (and always has been) my favorite Fast Food. I've lived…read moreon the east coast long enough to remember when we had Sonic commercials but NO Sonics. It was pure torture. Luckily, the closest Sonic was in Virginia Beach when I lived in DC, and I had a girlfriend that lived there.... So I would make weekend treks to VA beach to visit my friend AND get Sonic. lol So naturally, I've eaten a LOT of Sonic in my life. This is the 2nd best Sonic I have ever eaten at. (First place goes to Old Cantrell Rd in Little Rock. lol) Not sure why people are complaining about waiting for their food. Sonic is made to order, so obviously its going to take longer than McDonalds that has been sitting under heat lamps for the past 12 hours. I would rather wait for a freshly made REAL hamburger with super crispy and salty tots personally. Even if there is a wait at the drive-thru, they will send out people to take your money and bring you your drinks while they wait for fries/tots to cook or whatever. Now that's service in my opinion! What other fast-food chain is going to go that extra step?? Obviously a Sonic burger is no Bobby Flay's... but its definitely a few steps above any other fast-food and even better than most diners in the area. The tots are always SUPER crispy and piping hot, never soggy. And yeah, they are really salty, but that is what makes them SO GOOD. If you have a problem with sodium you can ask for no salt and they will make them special for you. But don't expect them to be good that way.... lol the brown bag special is our go-to. for 8 bucks you get 2 burgers, 2 tots, and 2 medium drinks. you can't beat that with a stick! lol (i just sounded really southern....) I order the chili-cheese coney all the time. It's really good. However, in the south they have, and will put cole-slaw on it for you, which is awesome if you've never had it that way. It's not even an option on the menu up here. The flavored soda's (vanilla coke is my favorite) are great and not overly sweet. The mango iced-tea is my favorite, and is best at this location. (The one on Street Rd. is AWFUL. how do you mess up iced-tea? lol) And we almost always get a Slush to go. Ocean Water is my favorite and they always make it right at this location (again the one on street rd... you never know what they are going to give you. could be blue-powerade, could be blue coconut. apparently they don't care as long as it some-what resembles what you ordered. lol) but this location even asks to make sure they are getting it right. which is nice. When it comes to the Slushes though, I feel like I should mention.... they are PERFECT for making your own daiquiris when you get home. Just add a little rum, or the cherry lime-ades make pretty amazing margaritas with tequila. lol just wait til you get home to add the booze. no drinking and driving! and the shakes and ice-cream treats are always really good. my mom has always been a big fan of their banana split. they have a seasonal apple-pie shake around the holidays which is incredible. it has actual bits of apple pie in it, lol so i docked a half-star each because they don't have cole-slaw, which isn't even their fault lol, and a half-star because the car-hops usually forget ketchup. no big deal, we usually go through the drive-thru anyhow and then park to eat. love this Sonic in particular though. SO GOOD for fast food.

    I've only had Sonic twice before and saw a video of a pickle lemonade that I wanted to try . I know…read moresounds gross but I love pickles. When I got there the girl that took our order thought it was crazy I wanted pickles in my lemonade although it's on the online menu. Anyway they ended up just giving me a lemonade slushee with pickles on the side. No big deal. I also got a chilli cheese dog with tots- everything was cold. I reheated the hot dog when I got home and it was still not edible. I'm not sure what kind of hot dogs they have but gross. My other half and son both got burgers/ my son didn't eat his burger he said it was rubbery and gives it two thumbs down. We will only go back to try the infinite amount of other drinks you can make but will stay away from the food.
