Originally Reviewed: March 2008
We reviewed this diner back in 2008 and noted a lot of the construction happenings. Fast forward more than a year and everything looks really nice. They’ve added a new side dining area with plenty of natural light (ala a sunroom), fixed their crumbling steps, and even erected a new, bolder sign. We generally liked their food back then.. so has anything changed?

Stratford Diner – Stratford, NJ 08084
19 S White Horse Pike
Meal: Dinner / Weekend / 7pm / For 10
Price: $100 (Excludes Tip)
A friend of mine from Texas was in town, so we decided to round up the old ‘crew’ and get together for dinner somewhere. Due to the geography of where everyone lived, we decided on the Stratford Diner as the most central location. I’ve never been there before, so I was eager to check out how they handled a large group of hungry 20 and 30-somethings. For the most part, they did very well.

I’m not a big ‘city person’. I like the concept of the bustling people, the diversity, and the way many function without owning an automobile. All that stuff is cool. Inevitably, though, I’m stuck in traffic, watching people fight/kick/scream in the street, and otherwise wandering around aimlessly as if I’m a tourist. What I need is a bunch of good Philly establishments to get me out of my funk, so I met a friend in the city for dinner. My only criteria was that we’d go to a place I’ve never been to, and we did so in the way of the South Street Diner. My friend had been there a few times and said it was generally a decent place. So far, so good.
