“If your last trip to Flavortown was to Vincentown Diner, you would be delightfully surprised at the meal you would receive here. So go ahead and add that to the list. Growing up in Jersey, I feel that Vincentown Diner definitely raves as one of the better local diners that I have been to. I mean, don't take my word for it - you can always look to a much better known and more qualified person than myself, i.e. Guy Fieiri.Not an expert in diner cuisine and experiences by any means, I feel that Vincentown Diner does a great job in keeping with the times - the modernization of their image and menu is apparent. Sure, there is definitely the train of thought that sticking with the basics is the right way of doing things. However, I argue that in an industry and culture where stagnation may result in downfall, Vincentown Diner does a great job at maintaining the basics while exploring menu items that bridges the gap to other tastes and experiences. As such, Vincentown Diner is truly unique.From the moment you arrive, you will find that the Vincentown Diner does not subscribe to the typical brick-and-mortar, 70s/80s diner appearance. The design of the building is incredibly sleek, with clean lines and appearance. It does a great job at catching one's attention as it sits upon the intersection. You may even mistake it as a fine dining venue, until you see the word "diner" on it. There is a neat patio area with rocking chairs, but all the seating is located inside the diner.Upon entering the diner, you will begin to see the transition into the old school diner look as if you are travelling through time in a sense. The diner is clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are a bit small, but this is probably not the reason why you're here. We ate here around noon, and found that the service was great. Literally the entire staff was approachable and incredibly friendly. Our waiter was outstanding and knowledgeable of the menu items; he was on point with taking our orders and delivered accordingly.As mentioned previously, the menu items fused traditional diner items (breakfast, sandwiches, and burgers) and explores a bit of other cultural items. The food was great (I know I'm being vague here, but I assure you that you will be delighted with the portions and flavor in your meal). I'm looking forward to coming back again, and trying out their burgers.If you're working on Fort Dix, whether that be during the weekday or weekend, I challenge you to make the trip out this way to Vincentown Diner. Trust me, the meal will make your day! But really for anyone in New Jersey, I would recommend Vincentown Diner as a State-wide staple.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an ADA compliant ramp that leads to the entrance of the building.“

“This place is like going in a time machine back to a 50s ice cream stand. They even play 50s music over the loud speaker. The cones are big, like dairy lightsabers you could use to fight a lactose intolerant Darth Vader. I probably shouldn't eat so much sugar now that I'm over 50, but it's so good.“

“Kitchen 87 is that good home cooked breakfast that we all love, but it's not just that the food is awesome the atmosphere is a feeling of comfort and it goes well with food. And as long as they had great employment like Lindsey theybwill never have a issue.“

“Kitschy German food restaurant with all the right stuff Keynote you must have a reservation and you must pay cash they do not take credit cards. This is not easily identified on the website or other Google reviews. Overall unique spot with Hardy digs very easy over order but worth a try for sure.“

“Wow!! Thank you Yelp!! We feel like we found a hidden gem!! But it's definitely not hidden. It was a pretty busy tavern. Service was wonderful! The food was delicious! The portions are huge!! I had the Country Chicken. So much flavor!! It is listed as spicy. You can request the level of heat. They add red pepper flakes. I asked for a little and it was perfect. My husband had the Spaghetti and Meatballs which is a Sunday special and enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this restaurant! We will definitely be back!“

“I returned today for a visit after a hiatus of a few years. This is a great place to fly in for breakfast. I had the cheese omelet and was satisfied. My coffee cup was never allowed to go empty. The menu is quite extensive. I plan to return to try other selections. The service was prompt and attentive. The runway is a little beat up for pilots interested in flying in, but it is a minor issue. There is plenty of parking on the ramp.“

“Been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it over the weekend! It was a very excellent meal. We had the Cream of Spinach soup, Truffle Fries, Shrimp Diablo, and the Honey Pecan Chicken topped with cranberry cream sauce. All were excellent. Only minor issue was we realized at the end of the meal they didn’t bring the bread that comes with the shrimp diablo, and my fiance would have liked it for dipping in the amazing shrimp diablo sauce. No biggie really. Food was awesome, quaint little historic building, great atmosphere and service, and the Bloody Mary’s were excellent also! We will be back!“

“Great Sunday birthday brunch today with exceptional service from Randy! Delicious and creative menu.Had banana foster French toast, my family had Eggs Benedict. While waiting we received a complimentary white chocolate chip pumpkin muffin.Only downside, is this is a smallish place and is packed and it can be difficult to hear your conversation over others .Looking forward to another visit soon! Thanks for the great birthday fare!“

“Love this restaurant - it helps that it’s right down the road and only spot to eat in Shamong lol, but honestly the food is beyond amazing and the atmosphere is always positive. The staff and owners are amazing as well. This place is a must!!! (Also get the espresso martini - you’ll thank me)Dietary restrictions: Able to accommodate gluten allergy!!“

“I had missed going to Amish Markets and being here made me happy. Amazing cream cheeses, best cakes, sausages etc. Pretzels were okay.Kid-friendliness: They were amazingly interactive/receptive to kids.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp and the aisle have width to them.“

“We went early (12:30 pm) for lunch on St. Patrick's Day and the place was just starting to get busy. It was just the two of us and we were seated in the dining area. Their menu was specifically for the theme of the day, irish food.The cornbeef and cabbage was good, but it was missing the carrots and irish soda bread. The service was good, but word of caution, they add an 18% tip to the total, which I thought was tax. I put my credit card in the book and tossed in a 20% cash tip. When she returned with the receipt for signature, thats when I realized the tip was already added and the cash was gone. Their 18% plus my 20% equaled $21.00 tip on on a $48.00 bill. I requested the server return the cash tip, which she did without issue.“

“Better than it appears. Roomy inside, friendly service, decent food, and fair prices. I had the chicken parm, good but my new crown came off my tooth. No reflection on the restaurant, just a mnemonic. Ate here after a short hike in Michael Huber Prairie Warbler Preserve.“

“Great service, good food, good experience with my familyParking: Plenty of spots, good amount of space.Kid-friendliness: Gives kids a menu of their own food they can have like Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, and a bunch of other good foods. The menu also comes with a word search, and coloring to keep the kids occupied while waiting for their food and drinks.“

“The place does not look like much from the outside, the inside is the a cozy dive bar. Awesome super friendly staff kept our drinks and bellies full. The bar is big and had locals and regulars. They were friendly as well. There are a few high top tables and some seating in a small dining room. The food was surprisingly good. The steamers were in a delicious light garlic sauce. They had a chili special the day we went. The chili was hearty and good. The tony sandwich was great. The roll was super soft but not mushy soft. The taverna pasta was huge. Pasta with chicken,shrimp, scallops and crab in a blush sauce. They have live bands and karaoke and trivia on certain nights. Will definitely return for some of the other menu items that seemed good.“

“We decided to order food from here for our holiday luncheon. We ordered trays of sausage peppers & Onions, with the Penne Pasta & broccoli. We finished it off with a nice apple crumb pie. The staff was helpful, the food was amazing! Very fresh and delicious!~ I recommend this café and we will definitely order again from here. Thank you to your team and compliments to the chef!~“

“This is a nice, more quiet location. Clean! Alex the bartender was very friendly, professional and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure I ordered the things I truly wanted off the new menu and getting me the sauces and dressings I wanted. I drive through this area on my way south, but I’ll be making a regular stop here for dinner or happy hour going forward. Thank you Alex for your hospitality!“

“Once a month me and my wife get together with my cousins. I decided to try Dunleavy's. We moved to Lumberton in 2002 and haven't been there once. Boy! Were we missing out! Glad we went. Great food with excellent service and the atmosphere was like us. A little on the loud side. If you're looking for a romantic dinner, this isn't the place. If you're looking for a good time and food to match, this is it. I'm definitely going to go back.“

“*Updated Review* Still loving this place! I wanted to add more pics and once again say how much this bar rules. St. Pattys Day vibes today. The atmosphere is right up my alley. Not too crowded today. Tons of people playing music on the jukebox which definitely is a must when you go to a bar. Can't stress enough how much I love the Garlic Parm sauce!!! I get the tails but you could put this sauce on a chicken cheesesteak or even dunk your tots in it. They should bottle it and sell it. We ordered the pretzels with Honey Mustard and honestly the mustard isn't anything special but the pretzels were hot and soft. I'd recommend making a beer honey mustard instead of using a bottle of store brand. I don't understand why people aren't giving more love to this place. Can we get some more positive reviews people??!! Bar staff and waitress were awesome as always. Get your ass to this place if you haven't yet.“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had! should have taken a picture before eating but they give you TWO of these for the lobster roll dish! We ordered the chicken wings for appetizers and they were the best! My bf got the steak chimichurri and didn’t leave a crumb. 10/10“
