Blue Swan Diner – Oakhurst, NJ

Joe and I got back on the diner circuit. We headed North and ended up in Monmouth County. That ambiguous place called Central Jersey where you don’t know if you’re in Pork Roll country or Taylor Ham territory until you look at a menu. After a long day of driving and exploring, a beacon in……

Smithville Bakery – Smithville, NJ

We’re back Diner Nationals! After a jam packed holiday season, the mister and I are breaking the monotony of winter by getting back into our visits of local eateries. We’re actually posting for the first time under the category of “not a diner but still an awesome place you should try”. That place is the……

Holiday Humanitarians

Hey there Diner Nationals!  I’m sure you’ve noticed how our reviews have become a bit more infrequent as we are heading into the winter. Well, for Joe and I, holidays equal home cooking. The oven is usually on full blast and don’t get me started on my crockpot collection that is always full of soup,……

Phoenix Diner – Absecon, NJ

Hi there, Diner Nationals! We hope your Halloween was enjoyable and that you’re excited for the fall weather. Joe and I sat out for the trick-or-treaters and tried something different with the left over snack cakes from our Halloween party and put them out for the parents. Tell you what…the parent snacks were the HIT……

The Teal Pumpkin Project

Hey there Diner Nationals! Our first Public Service Announcement! We wanted to get out from behind the computer screens and talk to everyone for a change but it was an absolute nightmare trying to film a commercial. So here we are! Anyway, Joe’s favorite time of the year is Halloween and we are only 15……

Peter’s Diner – Williamstown, NJ

Greetings, Diner Nationals! Sorry for the delay in between posts, but with two boys getting settled into a new school year, and with the two of us working in higher education, it’s been a little bit since we’ve been able to take the time to enjoy a new eatery. As soon as we had a……

Vincentown Diner – Vincentown, NJ

Since we’ve started Diner Nation, we’ve touted that we are two diners who love diners, but to date, Robyn has been the voice behind the entries. This week I thought I’d try my hand at it, and hope that I fare as well as she. The Vincentown Diner has been a staple in the region……

New Berlin Diner – Berlin, NJ

Hi Everyone! Joe and I were hoping to venture into a new county but a weekend full of grandkids, teenagers and errands kept us close to home. We did however get to venture a bit farther up Route 30 to the New Berlin Diner! We saw it on the way to the Berlin Market and……

Silver Coin Diner – Hammonton, NJ

This week, Joe and I stayed close to home and visited the Silver Coin Diner on Route 30 in Hammonton, NJ. The menu is about 7 pages including a full list of chef specialties. Honestly, you can get anything from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to lobster at the Silver Coin. How’s that for……

Angelo’s Diner – Glassboro, NJ

Remember last week when I was supposed to get my books for grad school? Well, I didn’t make it in time so we put a pin in that trip until this Saturday. After reaching our destination and leaving the store with books in hand, it was time to eat. (Let’s get real. It’s ALWAYS time……
