My idea of what is stereotypical of the New Jersey culinary scene is the diner experience. Great diners like "Point 40" are the reason why! A quick Google search for "Best South Jersey Diners" led me to several recommendations for Point 40. I visited with my parents and was initially nearly overwhelmed by the large selection provided on the menu. If you desire to eat it, it's likely that Point 40 offers it. The time of my visit was "brunch" for D.C. types so I ordered a steak and eggs, and substituted cottage cheese for the potatoes recommended by the menu. I anticipated receiving a thin low-quality steak, but was instead served a thick, cooked-to-my-order choice cut of meat. I requested cheese on my scrambled eggs, and the slices of American were perfectly melted, fresh, and enhanced the taste of the eggs. The quality of food was great. The variety available was excellent, with a menu unlike any readily available to me in D.C. Also, the facility was clean and welcoming. The ride through the open southern area that lends Jersey its "Garden State" label only added to the enjoyable experience. My parents may disagree but, to me, visiting a diner is a requirement of any trip to Jersey. If you agree, the one I recommend enjoying is Point 40. read more

Just visited Point 40 Diner today for our first time. Everything was good, the scrambled eggs were a little bland, but weren't bad. We tried the steak and eggs, the point 40 breakfast, and chicken and waffles. The strawberry milkshake was delicious. The service was good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Even though it was super busy, she made sure we were taken care of. We called for a party of 8 and they were able to accommodate us right away. When we got there, our table was ready. Regular diner breakfast that did not disappoint, the portions were big, and the service was very good. read more

Stopped by for lunch today and decided on breakfast. Home fries were fresh eggs cooked perfectly bacon was delicious even tho I ordered sausage not a problem toast was ok. Service was excellent. My complaint is 2 eggs some homefries 4 strips of bacon 2 pieces of Almost burnt toast and one cup of coffee. My complaint is this. The meal came to $11.50 and with a $4.00 tip that comes to $15.50 which I find very expensive for a plate of diner food read more

People in jersey don't like surprises with their food. This place should please most of those people. Nothing to write home about with this place. Typical jersey diner. Reasonably priced food in a 50's built and never remolded place. Got the turkey salad. See pic. read more

Sorry, but I disagree with other people here. Girlfriend and I both thought the food here was good. In the category of good diner food. WE loved the cabbage soup. The turkey club was great. She had a patty melt and loved it. The food here is better than your ordinary diner. read more

Sunday breakfast after a soccer game. Delicious. Nice sized portions. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, crispy potatoes... All done right! Fair prices. Good service. Best diner in the area. Worth the ride from Mullica Hill. read more

Needed food. This was the first place we saw. The food's just your average, run of the mill in-the-middle-of-nowhere diner. They have food if you need anything to eat. read more

Point 40 Diner - Diners Near Me - Monroeville, New Jersey

Great place to stop on the way to the beach if you are not from around here. We went on a Sunday for lunch and it seemed like everyone knew each other. Young families. Older couples and friends. A typical country piece of Americana of the friendliest kind. The portions were huge and everything tastes home-cooked. The chicken pot pie special was very tasty. So was the open faced Reuben and quick steak sandwich. Even our always hungry teenager couldn't finish it all. Fast and very friendly service. Support a great local business and eat a delicious meal here rather spending the same amount of money on junk food at a chain restaurant. read more

After visiting Elmer hospital we decided to stop at the diner for lunch. I ordered the Liverwurst and Onion on rye ( Bread not fresh ) and my husband got a beef sandwich, both were on special. Soup and fries came with the meal and it was good. Cost was reasonable for a diner and we would go there again. read more

As diner's go this was average. We have tried just about every one between DC and Atlantic City, and it's not our favorite so we will probably stick to the others next time. read more

Point 40 Diner - Diners Near Me - Monroeville, New Jersey

I come to this place once a year on my way to Ocean City, New Jersey. It's a nice dinner with great customer service. They serve a pretty good breakfast. I did however get the chicken barbeque panini and was not a fan. It was soggy and messy. Plus the chicken get falling out. I still give it 4 stars because my other experiences were good. read more

Everything pretty much tastes the same. The soups taste like the cream sauces that also taste like the Mac and cheese. Never feel great when we leave, either. Worth the extra 5 minutes to drive to Woodstown or Elmer for a better diner. read more

We haven't gone in a while so I figured why not give it another chance. The food was horrible and the host was not very friendly and the waitress was subpar. Definitely worth the 5 minute drive to the Woodstown diner. Which stinks because this diner used to be one of our favorites. read more

Best diner in the area, hands down! Ever since the new owners took over, this place has been improving. Like most Jersey diners, the menu is overloaded with choices but I've always enjoyed my meals here. Love their corn bread, chicken and dumplings, soups, and breakfasts. Good service, too. The owners and employees are kind and you can tell they care. If you're looking for the authentic Jersey diner experience, I say head to Point 40. read more

A great spot for a large group! Can't fluster our adorable waitress Katie! She remembered our large group from last year and even remembered we come with ingredients for mimosas! She had the OJ ready! read more

My husband and I frequent this diner in the summer only because it's the only time we are in the area. This is the best diner around. The food is outstanding, always lots of food to bring leftovers home. I only order the chicken parm because it is tender, juicy and delicious. The sauce is to die for. Larry the host is wonderful and so are all the servers. "The Price Is Right". The mini meals are as huge as the regular meals. Just one thing - it needs new carpeting. Too filthy and worn. Linda & Mike Norwood, PA read more

Good food, good portions, good menue always hot and quick if you want it to be. The prime rib is surprisingly good.

My husband and I stopped here for dinner on our way to Wildwood. The service was great and the food was yummy. We are foodies and were truly surprised how good the simple diner food was. My husbands chicken parm mini meal was one of the best we've had outside of 4star Italian restaurants. We will absolutely come back... and if you like good and affordable food you will too. read more

I just want to say I am a local person to this Diner and the service and the food are extremely good the Steak and eggs in the morning are very good but the best thing on the menu is the Chicken Parm. it is out of this world and it is enough for two people so you will be able to have a second meal from it the next day. read more

R.I.P. Point 40 Diner. New management has taken over, and not for the better. I have been ordering onions with my home-fries for 20 years, no problem, today I got charged 50 cents extra. My husband also got his first dried out egg's Benedict ever here. Are the cooks and waitresses fleeing the sinking ship? They also upped all of their prices across the the board! I hate it when someone new comes in and changes everything immediately, like they're the smartest guy in the room. So sad, so sad. read more

Went on Memorial Day , it was super busy but staff did a great shop of getting our food to us quickly. Everyone was very polite ,food was good , and the remodel looks great ! read more

WIDE menu. almost too many choices. Many deserts too. It is everything I expect from a diner. I'll defendant be back!!!!!! read more

2nd time visiting on the way home from the Jersey shore and each time was very satisfied with the food and service. The kids meals are very generously portioned and come with dessert. Every thing had great flavor, recommend the honey dipped fried chicken. The corn bread was delicious, and the pickled beets are some of the best I've had. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and were great interacting with kids. We will definitely be back again. read more

I come to this place quite often for breakfast very happy with the staff in the morning but i came here this evening for dinner and the waitress was ok she didn't do much for after she brought our dinner she came only one time to see if we needed anything but that wasn't my problem, my problem was with the hostess,this guy can careless about the costumers i was standing by the register ready to pay and he was talking we somebody next to the register he saw me he make eye contact and continued talking to this person and didn't even bother to him that i was there standing waiting for him to pay , so i went back to my table and waited for him finished talking to this guy I'm never coming back to this place for dinner. read more

I come here alot for business meetings. The food is fine and the service is as expected. The building needs a little updating but it does not retract from the level of service you get or the size of the portions. I recommend it as a mid level alternative to fine dining. read more

Sometimes, its the little things about a restaurant that stick out, and point 40 is no exception. Food is always good, same with the service, but what really has me going back is the full sized coffee cups. It lowers distraction from refills while conversating, and i didnt even notice how great that was till after my first experience with it. Ive been back multiple times, never dissapointed. read more

We have been eating and enjoying the food at this Top Notch Diner for at least 15 yrs. I have to give props to one of their Great managers, Larry who is always working hard at making sure he greets you at the door with a Smile and then seats your family. First things first! Outstanding Coffee! To me it makes a good Diner shine! The coffee refills are Endless and always Fresh! Ok now here are some of what I think are important Diner staples!! For Example, their daily FRESH Homemade Soups!! Outstanding!! Go ahead and Try a piece of their homemade warm Corn Bread with butter! Amazingly Fresh Greek Salads!! Feta & Kalamata Olives + other fixings ROCK! The Souvlaki, Yum! Breakfast pancakes or Omelets just the way you order them! My preference is crisp Bacon, on the nose every time! Now lunch & dinner, ok con the Top of My Favorites meals is the Daily Fresh Roasted Turkey, ( I swear it's as moist & tender as Mine but without me doing all of the P rep, Work & Cleanup! It's sliced perfectly! My daughter loves the Hot Turkey with Gravy Mini Meal! I like mine ordered with Swiss and bacon on Rye. The Diner has a weekly Italian night with Complimentary Dessert! I'm saving for the last part. Top Suggestions, Shrimp with Garlic over pasta, the Grilled Patty Melt! Hubbys favorite. Their cheese steak sandwich is really good. My other daughters favorite is the Ravioli, and the Chicken Parmigiana! Their Fish selections are always fresh, I like mine sautéed. Alrighty, the Desserts, dahhdahhh they are all made on the premises, my all time favorite the creamiest, smoothest Cheesecake w/o topping, IMHO it's one of the best I've enjoyed. The seasonal fruit pies, crusts are crisp and flakey. Now the chocolate Boston , or Banana cream more good choices! And last but not least are the Choices of Rice or Tapioca are superb! This eatery is recommended as an excellent hometown diner and worth it if you are going down the shore and have to take the jug handle, plenty of parking. read more

I stopped here and grabbed dinner with one of my kids and ordered the chicken croquettes. I noticed that a lot of people were ordering this. It was a double portion, which came with soup, garlic green beans (that were amazing), a huge piece of super moist cornbread- I actually thought it was cake- mashed potatoes and also a nice bread roll. After coffee and a hot chocolate for the kid, the bill was about$15. We had so much leftover, I ate the rest for lunch the next day! Delicious stop! read more

After new owners we expected a few renovations, as we are eating water is dripping on us and our food from AC vent. Waitress just shakes her head as if it's ok NOT OK read more

We stopped here on the way back from Wildwood a week ago. I was crazy impressed. The staff was super friendly and patient with my two kids. Every single thing we ordered was really good. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy, which was fantastic. I had cream of turkey soup, which they make homemade, also really good. The tuna salad and coleslaw was fabulous - i could tell they made it on site that morning. We will definitely stop in again! read more

Stopped in with the family as we were coming back from the shore. Breakfast was average, at best. Ordered a western omelet, what I got was an over cooked, dried out slab of egg loaf that was laden with a few pieces of pepper, onion, and ham. No where near what an omelet should be. Their "home fries" were over cooked scalloped potatoes. (WHY do all these diners have such a problem preparing and cooking proper, correct, home fries??!!) The bacon was ice cold and dried out, I suspect because it was sitting around all day. The service was friendly and fast, but the food left ALOT to be desired. My wife and kids were not too impressed with their meals either. The Point 40 Diner really needs to step it up. read more

This is one of the best diners I have ever been to! The food and service is amazing. It is a lot better than a lot of restaurants I have been too! I very highly recommend this diner to others! read more
