Chestnut Diner and Bistro - Diner in Vineland - 2578 E Chestnut Ave, USA

This was my 1st time eating at a Diner in New Jersey. We went on Google and saw the Diner was near our location while driving and decided to give it a Try ! We were seated at a Dirty table. I asked the waitress to clean it and she did. We waited for about 10 minutes then she came back and we ordered drink and then she said someone else would take our order. We waited for about 30 and no one came to take our order. We decided to pay for the drinks and leave. The woman at the Hostess/Register Desk said that we didn't have to pay for the drinks. She even offered to take our order (if I'm not mistaken) we politely declined. I stated I wasn't angry and she replied saying they had a few new hires. Which I understand to an extent. I was really looking forward to eating there because the prices were very good and the menu seemed decent. I'm kind of sad it had to be like that.

I am disgusted and very disappointed. I drove to Chestnut Diner on a stormy day. Both breakfast and service was horrible. The waitress kept coughing in her hand and wiping her nose with her fingers! I guess she had chips in her pocket or some type of snack in her pocket because she would constantly dig in her pocket and eat whatever was in there with her hands. Then she would grab the customers plate and bring it to the table. Ill that is gross!!! Talk about spreading more germs during this pandemic! I ordered turkey bacon with my meal and as you can see in the pictures, there is no turkey bacon! Instead of bringing me the turkey bacon I ordered, the waitress argued with me and insisted that I didn’t order turkey bacon. The pancake and waffle was cold, hard and dry, as you can see the butter didn’t even melt on it. The ketchup came out brown, that only tells me that it’s old. The waitress try to argue with me about that as well. My tea had particles floating in it. What a horrible experience. I left everything on the table and they told me I still had to pay the bill. The waitress asked me if I wanted to speak to the owner, of course I do! She brought another waitress over and she told me she was the manager. Of course she lied. I told her I know you’re not the manager please bring the manager out. She brought the manager out (which was the chef). He told me he would give me 50% off. My bill was $23, he gave me $8 dollars back. I was so upset I just walked out. I’ll never be back here again!

First off the new girl at the front counter is very rude and unprofessional. Second, I’ve been to this restaurant twice to order takeout. I don’t eat meat. I made this clear to staff that I have not ate meat in years. The first time I ordered my food I found a piece of pork bacon in my home fries. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and came back again and today in my home fries was a piece of ham. It’s pretty evident this diner doesn’t believe in cross contamination in the kitchen. It could be a coincidence …. but twice in a row? I think not. I can say the French toast are very good though …

The breakfast was very good and even when they stated there was no flavored coffee, like most other places, with what they had, soon we were drinking flavored coffee in the diner 😉.Donna was awesome & friendly tending to our every delight so we'll be back👣

Great breakfast. I highly recommend the Hungry Joe’s. It warrants its name; go hungry. A lot of food for a reasonable price. The doors were a little difficult for handicapped access, but it was manageable.

This is such a nice breakfast spot - I love starting my day here. They have a bunch of tasty and creative omelettes and I've always had great service. Thank you, Chestnut!

We ordered take out, but just from observing the inside has a nice traditional diner feel. The menu has a lot of choices, and the lunch we got was very good with large portions and good price. Fries were great. Will be coming back again to try more!

Not bad for a diner. Quick service, good amount of food, good prices. Definitely catered to my wife and me being vegan, as much as they were able to. The homefries needed a little more flavor though.
