Stafford Diner

I went to breakfast with family here this week & we had a pretty bad experience. We chose to come to a local restaurant over the nearby Panera, and all left wishing we had gone to Panera instead. All four of us are vegetarian (meaning no meat, but eggs/milk/cheese are okay). We arrived about an hour after opening and the hostess was eating her own breakfast at the bar. We were seated next to the only other person in the restaurant, which was a little off-putting. All of the meals that came with sides had a side of meat. We asked if we could substitute the meat for a vegetarian side of equal or lesser value and the waitress said no. She said it was impossible, but called the hostess over to verify. The hostess confirmed it was impossible because of the "computer code." She stated any side

Just moved to Chatsworth. Super happy there is a close diner. The prices here are truly amazing. Dinner specials and stuffed flounder is spectacular. It’s always insanely busy, anytime I go. So kinda noisy, always have to wait, service is sometimes slow or waitstaff take awhile to get back- but other than that- I love this place. I go regularly with my wife and kid. Guy at the counter is always super nice and helpful. If you going between 4-7, be prepared to wait for awhile

CRAZY UP CHARGES!!!! I recently stopped in for breakfast with my youngest son while looking for a new place to take my family after church. I haven’t been here in about 25 years. The last time I was there I was literally a teenager, so I was actually excited to come back and thought it might become a nice biweekly breakfast spot for us. The food itself was good and I had no issues with the quality. Our server was kind and the atmosphere felt like a typical diner. The booths are very small, but I remembered that from years ago so that wasn’t surprising. The problem came when I received the bill. My son ordered French toast from the kids menu and asked for berries and whipped cream on top. At no point were we told there would be extra charges for those items. When the bill came, his break

First time at this diner, I had heard negative comments but I have only good things to say. Apparently they changed cooks about five months ago and the food we ordered was great! The coffee was also very good. Anya, our server was sweet and efficient. We will definitely return. Try the club sandwich, it was very tasty! Plenty of parking.

My companion and I dined at the Stafford Diner on Rt. 72 in Manahawkin/Stafford Twp. NJ. I selected the turkey club on toasted rye. It was delicious. Fries were so-so, but in ample portion. This is a diner where prices are reasonable and many locals head there for a good meal.
