Route 130 Diner

Where’s the 6^th star at? This place is awesome no matter what time you go 10am 5pm 2am the food is always fresh. The staff is awesome specially the owner!

Update: 12÷4÷15− Just as good as it was from my 2013 review. great breakfast. great dinner. Friendly servers. Consistent. Still my favorite even after the second Cinnaminson one was built.

There breakfast is excellent my favorite is there eggs and sausage with cheese the cheese melts perfectly with the eggs and it makes the entire meal amazing and the staff are kind and nice and very polite chairs are comfortable there is nothing bad I can speak about this dinner a highly recommended going her but if you do I can not speak for the rest of the food only the eggs

Went to the Route 130 diner after some shopping at Sam’s Club. The Diner had only a few other diners when we arrived (8 am), but filled up around 8:30am. We both got omelettes, which were pretty good. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Omelette, which had steak and cheese, but not that authentic Philly Cheesesteak flavor. The home fries were a bit bland.
Overall, a good (and inexpensive) breakfast, but there is definite room for improvement.

Went for my first time today. I was told by a friend to go check it out for breakfast. Man I am so stoked I did! Huge portions and great pricing. Staff were great and helped each other out. Food came out fast and so much that I couldn’t finish it all. Highly recommend the country omelette!

I have only been there once, but I liked it, and will return. The food was good, the help was good, and the supposed owner helped me at the cash register as I left to pay. The owner also ran around directing and helping incoming customers. I liked that.

Update — ⁸⁄₂₀₁₅. We continue to be very satisfied with the prices, food quality, food quantity and service here. A manager is always on duty and frequently gets your beverages when you sit down. I like that… they are very involved and care.
I recently got breakfast for dinner and have to admit the home fries were easily half a day OLD, like they were made for breakfast 12 hours earlier and heated back up numerous times. They were break-​your-​teeth hard to eat, so I left them. But the eggs and breakfast meat was very fresh.
The servers here are prompt and know their stuff. They’re pretty attentive, checking on your food to see if you’re pleased and getting your drinks refilled.
I really want to mention that the reviews about this place being very old and dated are just not right. This building used to be a Burger King that was gutted down to the studs and painstakingly renovated to the current owner’s specifications. He’s the guy that opened the diner, and he’s still the owner. That wasn’t too many years ago. The tables, chairs, booths and rest rooms are all in well-​maintained condition. And some booths have already been reupholstered, so I’m really having to wonder about why people would say it’s old. It really isn’t.

Awesome breakfast specials! Monday through Friday before 11am, $ 2.99-$ 4.99. They are the best around for breakfast, very affordable, good portions, and great food. Place is packed on weekends so you may have to wait a little, but it’s overall one of the best diners in the area.
Never been disappointed here. Very friendly and fast service as well. I was told to try the broiled crabcake, haven’t had it yet, but a few people have told me its awesome. Next time I’m there for dinner that’s what I’ll be having.

Stopped in for lunch for the first time. The place was nice and clean, waitress was really friendly. Overall the food was good, service was great! Would definitely return.

Had to drop my grandson off for camp, so I thought I’d try the 130 diner for breakfast. Really not impressed. Eggs with pork roll were fine. What really turned me off was the «home fries». All they were was the left over baked potatoes from the day before. Bland, tasteless and covered half the plate.
I understand why diners do this but it sure won’t keep me coming back. Some nice hash browns or true home fries would really do the job.
Maybe if you have three dozen baked potatoes left over each night, you might cook a little less?

I don’t live in the area, but this is one of my favorite diners I have ever been to (and considering I’m born and raised in NJ, I’ve been to quite a few diners). The prices are reasonable and the breakfast sandwiches are some of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely will be coming back when I have the opportunity to!

Being from New Jersey, I’ve had plenty of experience going to diners.
With that said, every once in a while Im surprised at what I find and this time is one of those times. Pleasantly surprised.
The food was excellent, the service was as good as it gets and the prices were reasonable.
I would totally recommend based on my experience.

Just about always satisfied walking out of here. The various chicken soups are always a great start to the meal. Only meal I had that I was not impressed with was the Yankee Pot Roast, which was pretty disappointing given that everyone I’ve talked to that had it loved it. Different stokes for different folks. Staff is always kind and attentive and I like how the owner is always around making sure the guests are happy with their entrees.

I go to lunch everyday. I work for Todd Marcus it quick, clean and always friendly.

We’ve eaten here about 4 or 5 times since my last review, and it has been consistently outstanding so I decided to update my review.
The french dip is the best I’ve had in ages. Didn’t even need any mayo because the cheese gets so melty and creamy. I always get a side of horseradish to put on it as well, its awesome and adds a great extra layer of flavor without any extra fat or calories. (bonus!)
The Gyro is HUGE and better than any other diner around. The tzazaki (spelling? lol) sauce is great too, the pita is soft and fresh, and the best part is of course the meat. its tender and full of flavor and moist. other diners you can tell the meat has been in the freezer forever and is dried out and crunchy. lol
All the soups are wonderful. The french onion is so comforting and I’m pretty sure the Lentil soup could cure cancer. And if you order the garlic bread to dip in the soup… its divine. It’s the best garlic bread I’ve ever had. It just is. I can’t even explain it. It must have copious amounts of butter and garlic. That’s ok with me. :)
My daughters whole entire plate of pancakes were literally gone… devoured… before I could even blink or snag a bite for myself… so I am going to assume that they were pretty darn good. lol And the plain ‘ol grilled cheese sandwich that my mother in law ordered… omg. Well, it was about 3 inches thick on texas toast. She loved it.
One of these days I will get to try the German Chocolate Cake that everyone raves about. Every time I go they have already run out though. I gotta get there before the early birds I guess… lol But really, I gave 5 stars for consistency. Every time we go there, they are CONSISTENTLY amazing. Service, food, the owner/​manager always talks to us to make sure our food is right… No matter what I order if its the same thing, or if i modify it… its always great. And that is the way a restaurant should be run.

GREAT food!!! Much better than the Jersey down the road. Wings are the big kind, to die for.
Prices are on the spot. You can get a Gyro/​Burger meal for the cost of fast food with better quality. Great coupons out there if you look for them.
The only reason for a stay off is that it can get crowded and the parking can be a challenge along with seating.

Visited this diner and had a hard time finding vegetarian options, but it’s always busy (mainly senior citizens) so they must be doing something right.

Ordered two Reuben sandwiches, received two sauerkraut sandwiches. Paid $ 9 each for this thing, where the heck is the meat?!
My other coworker ordered the Greek salad which he said was pretty good along with the an Oreo cookie cake that was to die for.

Came here late one night and had a great experience here. The food was really good I had a basically a Ruben cheeseburger and it was really good. Not only did they cook it to order (rare) which not all places seem to do but, it was made with really good ingredients. It was tasty and not to heavy they didn’t put a huge amount of sauerkraut or Russian dressing on it all and all a really good meal. The waitress was not only quick but very friendly did not rush me or hover over the table which is always good when you really are not sure what you want. Even though it was realitivly busy she was very on top of my table when I needed something I never had to wait for to long when I was ready. I suggest coming here because it was all and all a good experience I will be back sooner then later.

How have I not reviewed this diner? It is hands down one of my favorites. Though it was a bit of a trek when I worked in Pennsauken, it was worth the scramble up 130. At lunch time, this place is abuzz with diners. The staff seems predominantly Greek during the day. Lately, I have eaten here more often in the wee hours, and the staff is more diverse. Irrelevant! The service is solid.
Inside, the booths are comfy and floor clean. Bathroom is nothing special and also clean. The parking lot is too small for this diner. On Christmas Eve, my family typically goes to the Golden Dawn for dinner. Since it burned down recently (2013) I pushed for Rt. 130 and the fam obliged. We circled once or twice in the lot before finding a spot. This has happened on a couple other days of no particular note; the diner is just that popular.
Everything I’ve eaten here has been pretty wonderful. A breakfast sandwich bagel is a legit perfectly toasted and fulsome bagel. Home fries have a good crispy-​to-​not ratio, though by default they come plain without onions or peppers. When I tried French onion soup for the first time at another diner within the past year, it was super sweet and a major disappointment. Some friends convinced me to give it another try here, and I have had it at least twice since then. That crock of onion, broth, and a comforter of cheese is delicious.
The owner here should consider selling mugs with the diner logo/​Route 130 symbol on it. And other things if they want. I would buy that in a heartbeat. Yes, I’m certain they don’t already sell such items… I’ve asked before. This is a Jersey diner to be proud of.
