Reviews for Lamp Post Diner in Clementon, NJ
We were looking for a new diner in the area and decided to try this place out. We were very pleased with this place for a lot of... reasons - the staff was extremely friendly and took great care of us, the menu had many of the standard breakfast options youwould expect with a few different specials that I haven?t seen other places and the food was delicious! I ordered the Greekyogurt crepes which essentially puts a yogurt parfait on top of crepes and it was very fresh and tasty. Recommend trying it outfor sure!! Read more
The appearance of this diner is appealing, in fact it is huge. They were super busy when we went and there were many ?regulars?... in there. If it wasn?t for the food, I would have rated it much higher. I ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. The saucewas good but the mozzarella sticks were doughy and not cooked very well. The waitress says that they just started using newmozzarella sticks. I wouldn't get them again. I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and curly fries. First, I rarely comeacross places that serve curly fries so this was a huge plus for me. The sandwich, however, was greasy and I had to take most ofthe bacon off because it was undercooked and rubbery. Finally, I ordered a danish and an apple turnover to go. They were bothrock hard and had very little flavor. I was disappointed because they advertise a bakery so I thought I would get bakeryquality. The one thing I did like is that they had all of the bakery items individually wrapped. I would give the diner onemore try but I definitely will not be ordering bakery items. They do have a really large menu, so I can try something new! Read more
Great food!!! I really enjoyed everything we ate. It all tasted so fresh. I am someone who likes to get Creamed Chopped Beef at... a diner which by lunchtime can sometimes taste reheated. Mine was delicious. It tasted as if they made it freshly just for me.The home fries were delicious too and again tasted as if they were custom made for me. We also ordered onion rings and got ahuge amount. The same honestly with everything we ordered. I gave them only 4 stars instead of 5 because we ordered a Paniniand it did not look or taste like a Panini. It was more of a sandwich on a roll with grill lines. It was delicious, don't getme wrong, but when you want a Panini and get something else, it was disappointing. We didn't say anything because they were verynice and really busy. The staff was very nice. They were so very helpful. Read more
We came her for a group lunch hangout after an Earth Day Cleanup hike. It?s recommended by a team member who said that this was... her favorite restaurant. It?s indeed quite a nice and spacious restaurant. Service was good, food was delicious. My chickenparmigiana was very good as the chicken was crispy outside but very tender and juicy inside. The food portions are all huge,everyone only finished half portion. Didn?t order dessert but they looked so yummy. ???? You may need to make a reservation toavoid waiting on line. But you won?t be seated until your group people have all arrived. Parking is not a problem atall. Would go back again if there?s a chance. Will also recommend it to friends. Read more
Good food and great service. Prices compare to an average diner. It's still very much a diner, but it feels like a step above... some of the others, especially in plating of the food and friendliness of the service. Large menu with breakfast optionsavailable all day as well Read more
Wouldn't recommend the bison burger, the meat to bread ratio was way off shown in the picture. The steaks were well cooked... medium rare. The fries were fantastic. Overall it was good but definitely not a 1/2 pound burger. I've had 1/4 from McDonald'sthat has better ratio than this. Read more
Don?t know where to start with this place! It was a great experience overall! Michelle was a wonderful server and very attentive... and really went above and beyond. The wait was about 10 mins for 2 of us. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great! It wasclean, and has a lot of room inside. Paying at the cashier was pretty simple but the line was a tad long. I will be back forsure. The pork roll was cooked to perfection, and really made my trip to New Jersey worth it! Read more
I have not been to this location in over a year because I was disappointed with my last 3 meals. It was my understanding that... the original chef was having health problems with his heart back then. I figured that I would give this diner a chance againsince it had been so good in the past but unfortunately I was disappointed again. I ordered the chicken parm and boy was it amess. The chef drowned the chicken and noodles with a ton of sauce. I brought it up to the waitress but her reply was that thechef normally drowns the dish with sauce. The staff is always nice but I am Totally disappointed! Here?s some pics of thisbloody mess. I wish I would have taken a before pic. Read more
