Colonial Diner – Woodbury, NJ
Colonial Diner – Woodbury, NJ
Everyone knows that the words Jersey and Diners go hand in hand. Some areas of Jersey are better than others and the same applies to their diners. Well with a very hip and stylish décor inside and out, Colonial Diner (CD) in Woodbury, New Jersey is one of the better ones around. With rock bottom prices that diners are known for, yet serving a delicious meal, CD hit all the right notes and I was very happy with my visit. The beef barley soup started things out and was very yummy. Then my main entrée of prime rib with Italian style green beans and fries was not the best version of prime rib, but for the price paid was by far one of the better ones I have had in a non-steakhouse setting. Service was friendly, efficient, and from start to finish CD was a pleasure to dine at. I will certainly visit again the next time I am in the area.

John’s Roast Pork – South Philadelphia, PA
John’s Roast Pork – South Philadelphia, PA
I love Philadelphia’s staple foods from soft pretzel, scrapple, cheesesteaks, and pork sandwich. Well named finalist on Travel Channel’s Best Sandwich in America by Andrew Zimmern, and Best Sandwich by Adam Richman, and best pork sandwich by Serious Eats, John’s Roast Pork (JRP) is already well known. Do I need to add my two cents? Not really. The owner of JRP John Bucci Jr has appeared on my show “Small Bites Radio” and is a great guy and a spokesperson for the charity “Be the Match” that provides marrow transplants in the United States from volunteer unrelated donors. JRP has been around since the 1930’s so that alone tells you they know what they are doing. What would I have? The roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe, and it was FABOLOUS! So if in the area, be sure to stop by and have one of Philadelphia’s tastiest sandwiches around. You will thank me later.

Treesy’s Soul Food – Turnersville, NJ
Treesy’s Soul Food – Turnersville, NJ
I found Treesy’s Soul Food (TSF) sitting in an old strip mall, sort of inside another new strip mall area. They are a little off the beaten track, even for Jersey strip mall dining standards. Once inside though, TSF is warm and welcoming, but the interior décor is a little bland. The good thing about TSF is that the décor was the only thing that was bland. My order of fried chicken breast, green beans, and cabbage were all very good and delicious. The prices are about average for this style of food around the area. I enjoyed my meal and the service was top notch and friendly making you feel at home. If you are around the area, and in the mood for soul food, you should certainly give TSF a try.
