I have been meaning to write this review for years. Memory and life get in the way. Sandwiches do…read morenot. Seagrave's has been feeding me and the good people of Salem with more care than many of us probably deserve. I have sung in a church nearby on occasion for nearly 30 years now and whenever Seagrave's caters our lunches the world feels a little less cruel. A great sub can do that. A cheesesteak even more so. The bread has the right balance of chew and give. The meat is tender and unapologetically plentiful. A sandwich from Seagrave's is not a snack. It is a declaration. You will be full and you will be happy about it. The subs are delicious and reliable, like an old friend who always shows up. The cheesesteaks are even better. Whoever decided that much beef and that much cheese should share the same roll should be awarded a medal. For half a century or more the Seagrave family made this little white concrete box on West Broadway into one of the best reasons to stop in Salem. Now it is under new management. You may worry that something this good could slip away. Do not worry. The family is still watching and still guiding and based on my most recent meal the sandwiches are as tremendous as ever. The building itself looks like nothing much. For years there was not even a sign. You had to know where to go and if you were lucky enough to know you went. Word of mouth was more than enough advertising because food like this does its own talking. So here is the advice. Put Seagrave's into your GPS. Park outside the plain white building. Step inside. Order a sub or better yet a cheesesteak. Watch them pile it high and then take the whole glorious thing back to your house or your car or your church hall. Take a bite. Life will not be perfect but it will be slightly better. Five stars. Always has been. Always will be.

Okay, I went there because of J.L Jupiter and for once I was more than satisfied. Ordered a…read moreCHEESESTEAK, and an American sub. If you get the sub, add in those "PICKLES', and you could taste the freshness in the cold cut. Now for the CHEESESTEAK;;;;;;; I forgot to add the Oregano and Garlic Powder.. Did that once I got home and that thing was light and filling. Actually both (sub&steak) were quite light when consuming. Not that heavy bloated feeling. Great Customer service, parking, and small town feel. Thank-you so much for having me at your establishment.

Searching for a good lunch and up popped the name of the Salem Oak Diner. We quickly agreed to…read moregive it a try. A drive through Salem makes you wonder what this city was like in its glory days. Beautiful old homes ... classic mansions and then we spot this classic diner on Broadway. Ok, it looks a little worn but in the same moment you are transported back in time to an era where diners like this one could be found everywhere. Walking up you spot the music machines in each booth that once upon a time were connected to juke boxes . As you walk in you feel the comfort of a diner and the waitress calls out a welcome ... 'sit anywhere' and we choose a window booth. It's a classic diner menu with a printed sheet of specials at unbelievable prices. A couple of soup options so it was classic choices ... a mushroom cheeseburger that the owner will slap on the griddle and a tuna melt. The conversation with the waitress was non-stop (it was 230 and at first no one else was eating. It was a fun diner experience! Food was delivered hot ... another customer so the waitress went back to work. A great lunch! Fries were perfect and the burger juicy and flavorable!! Tuna melt perfect .. The rest rooms reminded us of being on a train in the 1950's! There's not much to Salem New Jersey but there is one awesome diner serving great food!!

Welcome to the Salem Oak Diner where a simple menu of American classics thrive. Fluffy omelettes too big for your plate and a cheeseburger so rare it's still breathing. Perfection. There's no artifice or pretension here, just a solid menu, comfortable surroundings and a check that won't devastate your wallet. If you're hungry in Salem, it's your own damn fault. Try the Salem Oak Diner. Five comfortable stars.

This is one of my go to places for my foot-long hot dog fix, the other is in Delaware. Can't seem to find too many in Florida, unless you hit a Sonic. This is a seasonal business and open during summer months. Today was Sunday and it had good crowd. Ordering was quick easy however it was still a wait till my order was called, but expected for the amount of people there, tells you something. I got the foot-long with cheese, relish and raw onions...shoe string fries as well. When my order was called I came to the window paid and picked up. Found an empty table to occupy and began my feast. This is the total package when it comes to foot-longs. The rolls used are made locally and I believe the dogs are Dietz and Watsons and done on a flat top, not boiled. Can't get any better than this. Another road-side food shack under my belt. Peace.

For the Bellybuster I went with cheese, fried onions, pickles, and tomato. The fries were done just right.

Got the grilled chicken avocado salad. The salad wasn't as advertised. It had olives, egg, didn't have no bleu cheese and the avocado was a stale by the time I was ready to eat the salad for lunch. It's frustrating when you have to remove ingredients that were not advertised in its menu. I ate probably a little over half the salad and trashed the rest. Probably would not come back here if around the area in the future

As a witness to this experience, I feel compelled to speak up. I joined my friend and his elderly…read moremother for a meal at Ella's Mama Mia, and what unfolded was incredibly disappointing--not just because of the poor quality of food, but because of the dismissive and unprofessional service that followed. From the start, the server insisted on adding pasta to his mother's meal, despite her clearly expressing she didn't want it. When the food arrived, we were all taken aback. The crab cake looked and felt like a deep-fried hockey puck. I took a small taste myself--what was inside was a warm, unidentifiable paste that in no way resembled crab meat. My friend politely voiced our concerns to the server, and rather than show any understanding or willingness to help, she doubled down--telling us that this is how crab cakes are served "everywhere" and insisting nothing was wrong. The situation only worsened when we pointed out the pasta was cold. Instead of offering to replace or reheat it, the server replied with a smug "it's al dente," as if that excused serving food below temperature. This wasn't a case of a picky customer trying to get a free meal--his mother ate barely a spoonful and was clearly embarrassed and uncomfortable. Even after calmly requesting to speak with a manager, we were told no one was available. No follow-up, no apology, and multiple calls since have gone unanswered. What's most disappointing is the lack of accountability. Mistakes happen in restaurants all the time--it's how staff respond that makes the difference. I've seen this friend of mine bend over backwards to support local businesses and give them the benefit of the doubt, even when things aren't perfect. But this crossed the line. The food was unacceptable, the treatment was dismissive, and the follow-up was nonexistent. For an area like Salem County where good dining options are limited, it's sad to see a long-standing restaurant treat its guests this way. If this is how things are under new ownership, I won't be back--and I suggest others think twice before spending their money here.
