    23. Meat Lover Omelette with sausage gravy
    Tammy V.

    Late-night cravings led us to South Star Diner, and they definitely delivered! The food was fooding -- big portions, great prices, and everything was delicious. My eggs, ham steak, and home fries hit the spot! Huge shoutout to our waitress Jeanine for being so sweet and attentive. Great food, great service, and perfect late-night diner vibes!

    Caesar with added rare steak (7/30/25)

    I was headed to my friend's home in Mt Holly and needed to eat. Ahhh good ol NJ diners! LOVE THEM! I got a Caesar with added rare steak. Soup came with - my cup of Chicken Pastina was very good and tasty. The salad was pretty good but the steak needed more flavor. The 1000 Island didn't taste homemade like at most other places I dine. They had a decent crowd for a Wednesday night. Their dessert case looked amazing and I heard two tables ordering cake and Oreo cheesecake!!! I hit the bathroom before heading out. Nice decor but dirty and a fly was hovering around. Sweet server named Emma was probably the highlight . One and done for me - sorry.

    Homemade Mama's Meatloaf Dinner with no gravy

    I've said before on of the best thing about NJ are the diners! I was super excited to find one close to my hotel that had 4.5 stars. . .and that's where it ended. Since I had already driven 3.5 hours, I scheduled a to go order for the best seller homemade meatloaf with brown gravy using Yelp. Seemed easy enough. Just had to select salad, sides, and dessert. I chose Caesar salad, corn & sautéd green beans, and upgraded to cheesecake. Dessert puddings are included with meal price. It was great that the order was ready at the time I selected even though Yelp shows a window. Loves to see the classic diner booths and barstools. Host was at the desk to offer help. I was so tired I grabbed my bag and headed to the hotel. That was a mistake . . . Pro tip: ***CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE LEAVING*** I didn't get napkins, plastic ware, or GRAVY!! How was I supposed to eat meatloaf without gravy or utensils?? It was even noted on the receipt attached to the bag. Thank goodness I keep a spare in my travel bag. Overall, food was ok. Prices were reasonable based on portions. Disappointed mash potatoes weren't a side option just baked potato. Also didn't like that everything was packed separate. Gravy may have made the meal. Maybe it's better for dine-in. If I'm back in town I may try breakfast since they're open 24 hours.

    Tonight my husband and I came for a bite to eat. We ate earlier but at an Odd time. So we were hungry again by 7:30--8:30pm. We both ordered the turkey club sandwich and it comes with fries. It was delicious and perfectly hit the spot. The place is always spotless and freshly swept. Barbara and Miranda took care of us and they're amazing. We missed Tori (Victoria) and came too late but she is THE G. O. A. T. (Greatest of All Time) but by I digress. Their Early bird menu is Amazing and Has a Ton of choices from soup to nuts and great prices and Spectacular desserts. Great service and super nice people. We always seem to meet nice people dining in and the staff are All very nice and professional. See you soon!

    we returned today, and it was a great diner breakfast! Our server was super pleasant and friendly, brought coffee right away, and explained that she would be right back. We made our selections, jersey omelet for me, the 2x2x2 for him(his usual) . My jersey had asparagus tomato bacon and cheese, so good. His huge pancakes could have been a little more done, but they were delicious. The toast was dry-as requested- really harder to get than you'd think,lol. It was pretty crowded but efficiently managed. we'll be back!

    Friendly staff :) Great early bird special ! I loved the bread basket, fried zucchini, and carrot cheesecake.

    Been visiting this diner (yes a proper 24 hour diner!) for several years consistently. Depending on what hour you show up you'll get a different menu for breakfast, mid day and dinner. So if you want breakfast after 11 am just ask for the breakfast menu and if you're a shift worker off at 7 go ahead and ask for the dinner menu. I have not been disappointed except once when the poached eggs on the Benedict were cooked hard. But poached -not over easy like most restaurants do. The service is a fun bunch at all hours. You'll feel the love. The bathrooms were recently redone and are heated cooled compared to most diner car bathrooms. The outside is a bit rough but it's classic diner inside.

    Food is always great , good prices. Just I think there is a misunderstanding on their menu and the worker called me and seemed very annoyed that I asked for coffee with my entree, and then told me it's going to be charged extra. It literally says on the menu on door dash that it comes with a coffee lol. So they need to change that and fix it. Other than that place is always good.

Decided on under the moon cafe and loved the atmosphere and ambiance when we first walked in. Different mix matched tables, glasses and plates. Loved the ceiling tiles and comfy looking benches. I love duck and when I read duck Mac and cheese with cherries I was lost in wonder of the combination of flavors so of course I had to order it. Surprisingly it was very enjoyable. The Mac and cheese was nicely made cheesy, noodles weren't over cooked and over all had good flavor with pieces of duck and a few cherries mixed in. I also ordered the burger which was cooked as requested medium rare and was topped with bacon and an onion ring. I upgrade to the Parmesan truffle fries.which I was slightly disappointed in. I didn't see or taste the Parmesan but there was a slight truffle flavor. The fish tacos I heard were good but not really blacked and the vodka sauce was just okay according to others at the table.

I will say, even the bathroom was decorated to instill a sense of nostalgia. We went for brunch and started with a duck mac and cheese. As you'd expect it was a bit lighter on the duck than one would like, but was ultimately well worth trying. I'd say this goes even moreso if you're a fan of duck, as that's not the mac and cheese pairing you see most often. Beyond that, I got the fish tacos. I'm typically afraid of ordering tacos out due to portion size, and while you do only get two tacos, they are rather large, and come with a side of truffle fries which were exceptional. The tacos themselves were also fantastic and filled with the flavor you'd want and expect from the dish. While we were too full to engage with a dessert, I will say our server was nothing short of delightful and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is in a great location in downtown Bordentown and we will certainly be revisiting when we are back in the area.

We landed on the Eggs Benedict and the $19 BUTTERSCOTCH APPLE FRENCH TOAST, which is baked cinnamon & vanilla custard-soaked brioche, butterscotch apples; topped with brown butter oat streusel & Philly whip. Unbelievable. The place was loud and popping on a Sunday around noon. Not intimate, but a fun post-church gathering of hungry souls.

The space is clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff was genuinely pleasant from the start. Julian, our server, greeted us promptly, got coffee on the table quickly, and kept everything moving smoothly. In addition to standard coffee, they offer craft espresso-bar style drinks, which is a nice touch whether you are there for breakfast or brunch. The restaurant also has outdoor seating, not ideal in December, but it would be great in warmer weather for people-watching along Haddonfield's main street. The menu has plenty of options, and I went with the fennel sausage frittata with roasted potatoes and bacon. It was hearty and well executed, the bacon was crisp, the potatoes were crunchy, and the portion was generous enough that I could not finish it. My wife ordered the green goddess roll, which she really enjoyed, though her potatoes came out cold while mine were hot, the only real miss of the visit. We also shared a bowl of lentil soup, which was perfect for a cool day and a nice surprise on a brunch menu. This spot works well for weekdays or weekends, breakfast or brunch, and it does get busy, so reservations are a good idea or be prepared to wait with a coffee. Pricing felt very reasonable for the area, and overall it was a good stop we would happily return to.

The food itself was okay, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone in the area because holy cow the nickel and diming. It's an all-cash restaurant and they do have a big sign saying so on the front of their door. If you don't have cash, there's an ATM at the front that charges a $7 fee. Not 7%. Seven dollars. The next thing you're hit with is that all checks over $50 are automatically charged an 18% service charge. Everything on the menu was an average of $22 and of course, they don't allow split checks. Which means if you're going to breakfast with a friend you're going to hit that $50 pretty immediately. Add to that, the sides that come with your entree are all at a $1-$1.50 up charge with the exception of the breakfast potatoes, which were overcooked and dried out.

This wasn't my first time at Sabrina's, so I already knew the service would probably be a little different with the Mother's Day rush -- and understandably so. Overall, the food was still good! We started with their Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, made with blueberry and lavender, then garnished with fresh blueberries and lemon. It was so refreshing and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. For our entrées, I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and added salmon, while my daughter got the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl. For appetizers, we tried one of their "Heated Rivalry" May specials: Shane Hollander's Jambalaya Benedict. It came with shredded potato waffles, two poached eggs, fried shrimp, Creole sauce, smoked beef andouille sausage, pico de gallo, and green onions. Now listen... it looked AMAZING on the menu and had so much potential, but the taste was a little underwhelming for me. The dish came out room temperature, almost like it had been sitting for a while, and I really think it would've hit differently if it had been served hot -- especially the potato waffles. Still, I understand they were extremely busy and trying to accommodate everyone during the holiday rush. Sabrina's is definitely still a local favorite that I'll continue to support.

My young son really enjoyed this. The fried buttermilk chicken was so on point that we ordered a second one as a side dish. Likewise the buttermilk chicken sandwich was great. I added bacon which was a good call. I would have liked the bacon a bit crispier and I think raw spinach rather than sautéd spinach would have helped the chicken stay crispier. We also order pancakes. The pancakes were super big. I'm talking dinner plate big. Unfortunately the taste did not live up to the big size. The texture was off putting and the flavor was strange. As for ambiance, it can get a bit loud since it is essentially and empty room with only a little decoration. They do have a small outside eating area which was quieter and could be quite nice on a day with comfy temperatures. All in all it was a good experience and we would go back again.
