The first thing that hit me when I entered this small, quaint little establishment was I felt like I was transported back to Mayberry of the 50's and 60's. Breakfast is served all day, and my western omelette with home fries, English muffins and crusty scrapple were delicious with my coffee and tomato juice. I guess the atmosphere lends to the friendliness of the patrons, who seem like neighbors you've known forever, especially the young toddler in a high chair I was playing peek a boo with around the partition that separated our booths. The little gem is a very inexpensive treat.

In historic fashion, they only take cash! There were a few booths that were taken so if you want to eat it time it right. Plenty of stools available also. Ordered an egg breakfast and French toast. One of the griddles is in front so you can watch them cook. Service was fast, waitress helped each other. Food didn't have much flavor. Check your order before if you get take out. . .they forgot the cheese I requested for my eggs. Would visit again and try a special.

Food is a hit or miss…read more Today's experience left really a sour taste as I felt the server was rude and she did not want to accommodate any substitutions to a basic dish like omelette and we were not even asking for something crazy or out of the menu. Our ask was simple as to replace ham with tomato. They definitely should look into customer service 101.

The server starts you off with a complimentary serving of peppers and onions in olive oil with thinly sliced crusty bread. I started with the clams casino appetizer which was hot and enjoyable, nice consistency of chopped clams, bread crumbs and seasoning The salad was next with which I ordered with honey mustard dressing which the server told me was not available. When the salad arrived I noticed the server went out of her way to top it with honey mustard dressing. I enjoyed the main course of a 6oz. filet mignon, which was a large enough slice for the number of courses served. Absolutely tender and delicious and as always a perfect medium rare. The meal was ended with a delicious creamy NY style cheesecake. The patronage is a testament to the value and quality of the food, always a crowded dining room. Wednesday night features a singing entertainer Always a byob which many of the patrons enjoy, which also adds to the value of the dining experience. This is one of the best restaurants in this part of south Jersey.

Their steaks are amazing to the point you need no steak sauce. Their steaks steak sauce doesn't do it credit. I love that it's a historical place and you can see it through the building. Perfect for that romantic dinner with your significant other. The only downside I see, but not their fault, is that booking a reservation can be a bit of work. They book out quick and weeks out. Once see come visit them, you will understand why they book out rapidly. I'm looking forward to coming around soon.

Italian Affair - Glassboro/Sewell, NJ…read more Italian Affair has a nice happy hour from 3-6 PM with $10 drinks and appetizers, which is a solid deal. I ordered the pasta bolognese with burrata, and it was tasty. The risotto and the cacio e pepe‑style cheese and pepper pasta were also good. One of our guests ordered a seafood pasta and didn't like the sauce -- it had a funky taste -- so it was returned. They serve warm homemade bread rolls with garlic oil, which are great. They used to include soup or salad with meals, but that's no longer offered if you order from the happy hour menu. I think it should still be included. Overall, a decent Italian spot with some good dishes and a nice happy hour, but a few things could be improved.

My wife and I split Philly Cheeseburger Sliders, a side Caesar Salad, and chicken tenders. The tenders were so hot and crispy. Awesome.

And, our server Mia was the best! Fast and attentive. A+++! 10/10! No notes

It was always a great spot to grab a quick bite that was still really tasty. The food hits the mark, especially when you're coming off a long day of classes and just want something satisfying without a long wait. Another thing I appreciated is that while it's definitely casual food, it didn't feel like I was completely wrecking my nutrition every time I ate there. You can find options that are filling without being overly heavy, which made it an easy go-to during the week. Overall, it's just a reliable, convenient place with good food and a laid-back atmosphere. Perfect for students or anyone looking for a quick, solid meal.

It's remodeled and under new ownership, so even if you went to the old haunt before, it's time to try this location again. They open at 6AM. No local diner is boasting those early morning hours. We went for breakfast on 05/08/2026 and were pleased with the menu selection, food, and service. The menu has breakfast specials which include your coffee and a juice and we all know how much I love that deal! We will definitely go back - there's so much more to try!
