Ponzio's can be a little difficult to navigate to from 295 to Route 70 towards CHerry Hill, as you have to take a jug-handle and enter from behind the CVS...but it's worth the roundabout. We went in right around the breakfast/lunch break. Had some French Onion Soup and the Fish Tacos with the Mango Salsa (lunch special). The Soup was fresh and had a nice amount of cheese and bread with it. I would get it again. The FISH TACOS...BOOM! They were Awesome! Put a little Choluhla (hot sauce) on them. The Mango Salsa was so fresh and delicious. I had been here once a few years ago and got a chicken cutlet with provolone and broccoli rabe and I remember it was great. If I lived a little closer I would definitely be here much more often. Great Spot! Oh and GREAT coffee! read more

Very busy. Nice waiter. Food was cold but tasty and we were too hungry to send it back. No biggie. The one star is for this: I used the ladies room only to smell vomit. The next stall had poorly cleaned up vomit in seat, base and floor. (Encountered this before in my life, not a very pleasant way to have public bathroom, should get some attention though). Waiter pointed out manager, and I spoke to Rick about it. His response was "Not my fault." Not I'll see to it. Yuck. Happened 7pm Sunday, May 1. read more

Order lunch atleast once a week. Love their union soup, seafood linguini and crabcake sliders, and let's not forget the delicious dessert they have, love their coconut cake and fudge cake.. everytime I order my food is ready and fast.. always satified... read more

Wife and I went for lunch on Aug1. I ordered the open faced corned beef. Ugh! Nasty. This was definitely the home cooked brisket. Had to be a processed round. Rubbery, tough, tasteless. Why oh why would Ponzios ever do this? Wife had a blt. Average. read more

I was appalled today at this diner. They charged me an extra $.90 for a very small dollop of whipped cream on my dessert. I've gotten the same thing before and was never charged extra. They should be ashamed. When I was paying I said something to the girl. She said nothing in acknowledgment of my concern. Then after I paid I said it's even more shameful that she did nothing about it. She said I would have to speak with a manager. I asked her why didn't she get the manager. Her nasty response was "you didn't ask for one". That's the last time I go there. read more

The staff were all very nice. It has a nice breakfast menu. We enjoy Sunday brunch there.

A NJ diner is only as good as it's bakery and a bakery is only as good as it's carrot cake. Ponzios has slammin' carrot cake. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. They brought me burnt French toast after taking 15 minutes to order it. The waitress needed to be hunted down for coffee, cream and the $2.75 for the coffee. The waitress was the worst ever and the cook should have never played this. Management told me I didn't have to pay for the coffee. After all the great things I've heard about this place tell me this was an isolated incident. read more

I am impressed , I didn't know what to expect as I am not from NJ. When arriving we noticed the parking lot full and people walking in so that was a good thing. The restaurant has a very good exterior (the building is beautiful) which when entering it was also very beautiful! The staff were dressed very nicely , and the inside was noticeably clean. There were groups waiting so we assumed our group of 3 would not be seated instantly, we were wrong and seated soon as we approached the podium. Our server Sharon was amazing ! She was very knowledgeable and genuinely pleasant. She made our visit worthwhile, and when in the area we will return :) The food was of course delicious! I had the Colombo Combo (I think that was the name) read more

This was my first experience coming here and I can assure you that I will not be coming back. My friend and I got Easter cupcakes from here and they were not presentable after walking out of the door. The woman who put the cupcakes in the container had each of the cupcakes overlap one another so that the ears or feet of one cupcake was touching another cupcake. So it messed the cupcakes up to the point that even the frosting and marshmallow was no longer on the cupcake. My friend went back to Ponzio's and expressed her concerns to the same woman at the counter and even showed her what the cupcakes looked like. The woman told her that there was nothing that she could do except ring her up for more cupcakes. Her response demonstrated a lack of customer concern and a lack of respect. As a customer, I am disappointed that this business fails to provide customers with empathy and and even more upset that they chose to not handle their packaging with care. Their packaging and customer service speaks volumes as to how this business operates. read more

7 years later and nothing has changed. Miserable staff with no personality. Food portions are smaller and prices higher.

Went at 6pm Sunday night. Ordered 4 prime ribs at varying temperatures. Waitress came back telling us they only had well done. After after agreeing to the new temp, the waitress then came back saying they had ONE prime rib left. We ordered the NY strips instead and they ALL came out overcooked anyway. Waitress told us they were out of sweet potatoes as everyone was getting their food. My flounder was saltier than the sea it came from. Chicken wings were super greasy, burger was also over cooked and the crab cake had turned flavor. After spending $200 I need to say goodbye to my favorite establishment. I loved this place as a kid but even the delicious cinnamon bread and rolls won't entice me back. read more

I was married in August we had a nice get together afterwards in pozio cherryhill that sent a private room for my family and friends the food was excellent and the server nice and polite she was there for all our needs kept up with everyone she very attended we all had a great time thank you ponzio for all you done for us on our wedding day read more

Good time eating with family. As a first-timer, I was not sure what to anticipate, but I was pleasantly surprised at the selection. The desserts were awesome (looking & tasting). Staff were polite and professional, and I will definitely go again. read more

Had the lobster roll sandwich. Small, but very good. Waitress was so cool. Hooked me up with coleslaw.

There are many diners in the area between Cherry Hill to upper Burlington County. I have been to several and I have my favorite two or three. Here's the deal. All have very good food but only Ponzio's is open later -- especially on Friday and Saturday nights. My other "go to" spot closes at 8 PM while Ponzio's is open for dinner weekends until 10 PM!!! We are "almost" senior citizens, but we do NOT search out the Early Bird dinner specials. I enjoy showing up to Ponzio's at around 8:30 pm on a Friday or Saturday night, and often have to wait 10 minutes or so for a booth. Servers have been consistently same ladies and super efficient, and we never felt rushed through a meal because they were getting ready to close. Oh, and don't get me started on those DESSERTS! Often, we order two To Go and they box them up nicely for us. Sometimes, the dessert boxes are larger than the metal dishes we get for our leftovers. read more

Ordered 2 strawberry shortcakes for my daughter baby shower. A large one & a small one. The large is covered in whipped cream the small one is not. It's got a plastic strip around it. Manager said "it's what they do" I said if someone would have told me the plastic would be there & no whipped cream I would have gotten 2 large cakes. These will look stupid sitting next to each other! They did offer to re-do but my daughters shower is in 2 hours. No time for that. Very very very very disappointed in this place for not letting customers know before hand. Baby shower ruined read more

One of the best diners in the country! Highly recommend anything and everything on the menu. So so so good!

I only come here for dessert and coffee at night with hubs because other than dessert, the food is over price for diner fare and the shotty service. Eileen is the only server you can get GREAT service from. read more

Ponzio's - Lemon tart and toffee cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Nice, friendly service. Terrible food. The crispy chicken in my sandwich was burnt & greasy. Soup was extremely salty.

I have lived almost my entire life in Cherry Hill and Ponzio's has been here as long as I can remember. Over the years, it has been remodeled and grown on its original Ellisburg Circle location. The circle is gone but thankfully not Ponzio's. I have been to Ponzio's over the years for numerous different occasions. With the passing of Olga's, Ponzio's is one of the last old school diners in the immediate Cherry Hill area. They have been in operation for over 50 years. My brother and my two nieces were in town for Thanksgiving and we needed to get something to eat to hold us over until dinner. We headed over to Ponzio's and it was fairly crowded with other people with the same idea and runners getting a post Turkey Trot lunch. We had eggs Benedict and pumpkin pancakes. Everyone was happy with his or her meals and service was very good. My brother was also surprised about how reasonable the total bill was as he is used to NYC prices. People love their cakes and desserts also. Over the years Ponzio's consistency has always been very good. In a state full of diners, Ponzio's is a good one. Tip - The main dining area near the cashier has the most authentic diner feel if looking for that. read more

I used to love Ponzio's and always thought it was great; however, today changed that opinion. My dining partner and I both ordered eggs and scrapple. I asked for both the scrambled eggs and the scrapple to be very well done - like burnt well done. I asked if they did "cubed scrapple" which is where the scrapple is cut into cubes and then deep fried but the waitress had never heard of it and said no, the scrapple is pre-cut and you can't change it. Okay - fine - just make sure it's very well done please. When the food was delivered, the eggs were still raw in the middle and the scrapple was anything but cooked well done. I did get new eggs but just left the scrapple on the plate and didn't eat it - I didn't want to send back something else! Also, the bagel came with two little containers of butter but one, when I opened it, was empty. Ponzio's is pricey and I knew that going in, but $48 ($40 for the 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees and $8 for a tip) for breakfast was way too much for me when one of us didn't get what we asked for and the food was subpar. read more

I have had the pastries from Ponzio's on multiple occasions, and they have always been fantastic. I love their black and white cake. It is probably one of the best cakes from a bakery, restaurant, or food store that I have ever had. I had never actually gone to eat at Ponzio's until two weeks ago. I had the chicken and waffles and I thought that it was just okay. I also had a chance to try the Ponzio's French toast and I thought that it was pretty good, but definitely not the best I've had. I would definitely like to come back and try something different to see if my opinion changes. read more

Yum yum yum! We had the Gobbler sandwich, chicken parm, and stuffed peppers. I would highly recommend all of these dishes! The portions are very generous. The dessert case is impressive. We had the almond horns with apricot and raspberry jam and the toffee cheesecake. I'm looking forward to our next trip to Ponzio's. read more

This place should get ten stars. Our server tonight 12/11/20 was Liz. She is a pleasant lady, who takes pride in what she's serving to customers. She anticipated our need, didn't keep us waiting and was friendly with not only my table but every table she had. I had eggplant parm, and it was perfect. Big thick slices, not soggy and perfectly adorned with breading and sauce. DELICIOUS. The onion soup was perfect. The food was served piping hot. The cheesesteak had a good amount of meat and cheese on it. Overall we are very, very pleased. We decided to make this a once a week dinner spot and we live about 20 minutes away. SO GOOD. I'm sad I didn't get a picture. read more

Awesome We just got bakery items to go and salad dressings, but we're going back to eat there

I just bought 2 lbs of butter cookies from their bakery.. they are usually my favorite.. they usually have nice golden color with a crisp texture to them.. i just got them home and they are underbaked and soft.. not only that but i called to let them know and see if I could get a credit for a future purchase.. didnt even ask for my money back.. and the rudest manager got on the phone and said we dont make crispy cookies and what do you want from me? Bring them back and i'll give you 2 lbs of the same cookies.. nice way to treat a customer.. i wont be going back.. read more

Food is consistently good and the baked goods are outstanding. The baked goods on the way in are always enticing.

Ponzio's is really half diner and half restaurant. It's huge -- not a traditional diner car by any means. It has five different dining rooms and runs with the efficiency of a major train station. It's fun while you wait for your table to oggle at the beautiful bakery case up front. The cannolis are wonderful, and you would really be amazed and impressed I think to see the bakery operation here. They have cookies, cupcakes, whole cakes and pies, etc. Once you get seated, you are presented with a huge menu of options, including breakfast all day. This is the way I think that Ponzio's is most reminiscent of a traditional diner. The breakfast here is solid thought he menu for breakfast all day isn't super huge. It definitely does the job, though. Other options range from seafood to burgers to open faced sandwiches. By far, one of the best things about Ponzios is the wonderful bread basket that you get at your table... delicious yummy things worth taking home with your left overs! They also have beer on tap (more restaurant like than diner like). And of course the desserts are amazing if you have room left. It's a fun visit always -- be prepared to wait a bit if you go during a busy time. read more

Stopped off here for breakfast Monday. Honestly, I have passed this restaurant a few times and never even noticed it, its a big stone facade building with no real decor that says "here I am" and unless you are looking for the Ponzio's sign, you will drive right past it, especially if you are focused on the highway signs right directly across the intersection. As I was being walked to my table I noticed a very nice bakery counter, with lots of cupcakes, cookies, cakes and tarts, reminded me a little bit of Polly's Pies. Server brought coffee over and it was exactly what I needed to get the morning going, I ordered the 5 stack pancakes with crispy bacon. Pancakes looked great, fluffy and golden, I was surprised there wasn't a little scoop of butter on top, instead it was a small packet of butter on a coffee saucer with a mini pitcher of maple syrup. I have to say, every few bites the pancakes seemed kinda crunchy, like the batter wasn't blended well, maybe griddle bits or there were ground egg shells anyway- I didn't finish my order. I might come back and try it again, but not for pancakes. read more

Travel back in time... not in a good way... everything from 80's, including customers. This place has not been renovated, or restocked with new dinnerware, I don't think they even changed the oil for the French fries once... dirty diner, greasy food. The somewhat fancy outside tricked us into coming in. Food was so bad... I can't describe... CHANGE YOUR FRYING OIL!!!! I can't imagine how dirty that kitchen is. Additionally, you'll see a dirty cart that the waiter will push around to pick up dirty dishes after customers leave. First of all it makes terrible noise, secondly it's so dirty and disgusting!!! He drove it by us to pick up TWO GLASSES!!!ARE YOU THAT LAZY?! It's a disgusting dirty cart with pieces of food stuck to it!!! Does this place have management????????? Their kitchen needs to be inspected... I'm going to call health department on them... read more

After about 2 years I thought I'd tried Ponzios diner again. The dinner I had was good no complaints. On the way out I passed their bakery and purchased 2 corn muffins. They were $4 per or 2 were $8.00 which I thought was outrageous and when we ate them the next morning they were stale. Some restaurants really don't care about their product. Money $ is the only thing that counts and this is one of those places. You can tell by the amount of customers in the place that their day is gone. read more

My sister and I went to Ponzio's today to have brunch or lunch as you make calling and I tell you we ordered the broiled seafood combination that came with soup or salad we both ordered soup that was terrible we sent that back. So we had the salads. Now the salmon was so overcooked you couldn't even eat it so we sent that back and the waitress brought out three little pieces of salmon now it's two of us so what are we supposed to do split one piece in each of us have a piece and a half and I said to her we should have either got one piece each or we should have got two pieces each now mind you the little pieces that she brought up was so tiny it didn't make no sense. So the manager comes over and I'm trying to explain to him to piece count and he's trying to tell me about the size of it. And I share with him that it's not about the size of it mainly it's about the number of pieces he said well what are you trying to act like I'm a scumbag and I told him I can't make you feel anyway other than how you feel. He told me and my sister to get out just like that get out and also shared with the waitress not to give us any takeout bags now we weren't looking for a handout we were looking for a hand up okay for him to respond and not overreact he was terrible and I'm a business owner and I shared with him that if I treated my customers like he treated us I wouldn't have any customers to actually tell a customer to get out okay is very harsh very rude unprofessional and I will never go back to your establishment me or my sisters and I will share this on all social media platforms because that was horrible and hurtful. No more Ponzio's for us! read more

Do not recommend to anyone with food restrictions or sensitivities. I cannot eat gluten due to health reasons. We had asked for a gluten free menu but were told they do not have one. I then asked if there is a way the cook can check on some ingredients so I could eat there without getting horribly sick and was curtly told no. Other diners In the area and upscale restaurants have been more than able to accommodate a request for an allergen menu but for some reason this one was completely unable to do so. If I could give 0 stars I would due to the attitude we were given read more

This has got to be the worst place I've ever eaten. The servers attitude was terrible. They had dozens of tables open but we still had 15 minutes for a table. As soon as we opened our menus the server wanted to know what we wanted to eat, and when I wasn't ready, here attitude became bristly. We weren't offered a lunch menu, when the food came my omelette had already congealed, the scrapple was cold and mushy. The toast looked as though it had been buttered with dirty butter. They have to do better. Trust, that I won't make this mistake again. AWFUL! Literally embarrassed to take a picture of the food. read more

It's funny... I never feel like a snotty San Franciscan until I go to a place like Ponzios that just brings you back down to earth. My mom is obsessed with this place. She lives in Montgomery County, PA where I grew up and whenever i go home, she makes me drive almost an hour to eat here. She loves snapper soup. And there aren't a lot of places that makes this philadelphia area traditional soup anymore. The only other place we know has it is this place by our neighborhood called the Spring-something-something Inn... and I refuse to go there because clearly they are a bunch of old white people who are... not nice to asians. This is how being at places like Ponzios brings me back to earth. In San Francisco, I live in a bubble. There are asians and people of all types everywhere. At Ponzios, I am in the heart of Jersey with very Jersey people... who are ....not asian. And just generally not the same. It's strange because I grew up more or less around it, but it's such a weird juxtaposition when I come home to it. I always make it a point to annunicate my english words very well at a place like this.... as if to say, "Yes, I can speak perfect english!" And I can use the word "juxtaposition" in a sentence! The only bread that you get with your meal in SF is sourdough. Unlike at Ponzios, they give you a basket of all types of bread - soft buns, and bread sticks and bread that isn't even bread... it's more like a danish. So coming home and eating snapper soup which they do very very well at Ponzios, it's weird. I like that they give you a huge shot of sherry with your Snapper soup, which I dump all of in my soup. Man... old school.... It makes me feel weird, but there is a nostalgia to coming here. It's awkward, but a good awkward. An awkward that keeps me real. There just isn't a place like this in SF. And even if there were, it just wouldn't be the same. read more

They should be ashamed of the way the host treated my friend who suffered a stroke and asked if he could move to a table against the wall for more support. The host said no no no if they want a booth they have wait. We were sitting a middle table and asked just to move to an empty one across from it. When the host was approached and asked so my friend could have support for his back he said well he has a chair. I said wow you can't help a handicapped older gentleman and I cursed him out. The man working. with him came running after us and said he could move unto a booth...I said no we are leaving and I can not express how angry that this host could not be kind..
