Kitchen 233 - Westmont, NJ
233 Haddon Ave
Meal: Dinner / 8pm / Weeknight
Price: $105.60 (For Two - Includes Tip - Excludes Coupons)
Autumn and I like the Haddonfield area, and were looking for a new restaurant to try on the much-traveled Haddon Ave corridor. Passing up a couple interesting diners along the way, we spotted Kitchen 233 and decided to give it a try. The parking on a Thursday night was very tight, and we’d assume that weekend parking would be relatively non-existent. We didn’t have a reservation, and although we expected a wait we were seated right away. We liked the layout of the building and the exterior.

The Original Franks - Deptford, NJ
Hard-luck local comes back with authority
The Original Franks - Deptford, NJ
Meal: Lunch (for One - pickup) / Weekday / 1230p
Price: $8.60
I remember reading about Frank’s in the paper; the small Delsea Drive pizzeria in Deptford had burned down and closed its doors for nearly a year. Heading back from some business at the Deptford Mall, I noticed they reopened and ditched the Diner to see if they could convince me to come back. Always one to support local business, I ordered a cheesesteak sub and a slice of pizza to help out. Would it be good enough to add Frank’s to my Gloucester County lunch circuit?
Hatfield Grill - Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, PA
Stick with the sausage.
Hatfield Grill - Locations Throughout Citizens Bank Park
Philadelphia, PA
We’ve taken a look at Harry the Ks inside the ballpark, and after a dismal cheese steak, we were eager to find something a little bit better the next time around. Although the Phillies looked horrible in the particular game we went to, would we determined to find another spot in the ballpark to grab something decent to eat. With three or four locations throughout the stadium, the Hatfield Grill’s locations had reasonable lines against the sea of people waiting for the bigger name Tony Luke’s, Bull’s BBQ, or Chickie and Pete’s. Perhaps one day we’ll have the patience to wait for one of those too (eh, that’s unlikely).
