To start off I want to say that I am a regular at this diner. I have been going there for quite sometime. Food is great! I have a very serious issue with how this places management acts. Very recently I was leaving the restaurant and I parked around back. I noticed the manager Ang outside smoking a cigarette while she is around some servers. I couldnt help but hear Ang talking very poorly about a certain server and that she is either gonna try and get her fired or make it so she wants to quit. I found that very inappropriate that she is saying this to another server and even more so that she would do such a thing just because she doesnt like her. Next I see a car pull up and he walk over to it and make a drug deal. I hear her talking about weed and asking the dealer if they have dope. I was in complete shock! And on top of it, this woman is pregnant. I will no longer be coming to this diner. They should not let a woman who is in charge of the employees be buying and using drugs at work. And on top of it having such a cruel attitude towards a server. I know the server who she was talking about because she has waited on us plenty of times and she is an incredible server . I will NOT return and support a business that lets these things go on. I tried to call and speak to the owner and the manager Ang answered the phone and would not let me talk to him because I said it had something to do with a manger working there. She gave me a whole bunch of excuses why I couldnt speak with him when he was in the restaurant at the time. I am furious !! My money will no longer go to this restaurant to pay a manager who is actively using while pregnant and on the job!!!!!

The first time I visited the Lamp Post Diner was just a few days after they opened. There were a few small glitches like a waitress who apparently quit in the middle of her shift. The management did their best to figure out what orders she had or had not taken. The next few visits were much improved. We spoke to one of the owner/managers and he was very friendly. Its clear that they are working hard to make their new diner the best it can be. The food was quite good and their selection of desserts is expansive. Their portions are huge. Ive tried sandwiches, breakfast and other menu items and havent been disappointed. Personally, I have to give them some extra points for serving their coffee classic "diner mugs." The only negative is that they are not open 24 hours/day. I hope that they will soon move to a 24 hour schedule since thats what I expect from a true New Jersey diner. I also found the fact that there are TVs around the restaurant a little odd. Overall, this is one of the first new diners to open around here in a while and it seems to have some real potential to become a long lasting institution in the community.

One of my favorite diners is the Lamp Post Inn Diner in Blackwood, NJ. I love their crab cakes and the fact that you get the option to upgrade to five courses. I love their fresh vegetable options and desserts. Last week I was very excited because I had not been to the diner all summer due to not having classes at the Blackwood location. Well the service from my waitress was exceptional, and usually is. This particular day I was in a rush, so before my waitress brought my dessert I went to the counter. I seen that she was going to give me the last piece of strawberry cheesecake. I asked her if she can cut me a piece from a fresh cake, she went to do it, and the lady who seems to be the supervisor said no. So now I had to interject and let her know it was my preference to have a fresh piece of cake. This lady God Bless her soul told me they usually dont do that, lets keep in mind it was 5pm and I think they close after 9pm. I received my delectable piece of cheesecake, but I was ultra disappointed, because I been going to the diner for a year consistently.

The waiter didnt like that my 2 year old daughter was sitting on the edge of her chair, and I guess he wanted her chair pushed in more. Instead of talking to me of my wife, he took it upon himself to man handle my little girl into sitting more on the chair. As he reached to do so I told him that I would handle it... he continued to wrap his arm around my daughter, despite me telling him not to touch my kid. I grabbed his arm and attempted to remove it from my child while instructing him to not touch my kid... she had her drink in her hands on her lap at the beginning of this, and it was now all over the floor. This nut case should be fired... and frankly, any waiter that continues to touch someone elses child after instructed to stop ought to be criminally charged. Management didnt care; and in fact seemed to blame my two year old for the spilled drink. I will never return.

The service is atrocious and the management staff are unresponsive to complaints. We sat at the counter. The service was horrible. The server seemed agitated and bothered by the rush of people that came in. He negelected us the entire duration until it was time to drop off the check. I had to ask other servers for coffee, napkins, water ECT... When I complained to the heavy set, female manager she became rude and nasty to me. I explained that we come there all the time and that the service was horrendous. She said sorry were busy and people didnt show up for work. I dont know how their staffing problems are my problem? The male manager was just as rude. This place is disgusting. Their food was cold, their staff looks like they were pulled right from K and A, and their management is despicable. I will never walk in their again. Meadows is so much better!

Andrea hired me earlier in the summer and never told me why i worked for two weeks and she didnt schedule me anymore. Then she never told me how and when to get paid.. I had her employees message me on facebook to come get my check..thank fully i checked my facebook... She wouldnt say anything to me and acted like she didnt know me when i picked up my pay So i applied again and i had an interview and she was too much of a coward to telll me to my face that she wont rehire me she had an employee. She never had a reason to fire me im 22. Years old. Im not an idiot. All you had tp dp was cashier and greet people.. They are also racist.... Thats why they fired their former manager.

BEST KEPT SECRET IN Gloucester County,NJ !! SERVICE,FOOD,And,SUPER DECADENT DESSERTS MADE ON PREMISES WERE PHENOMENAL!!!! Ive lived here over a year about a mile away,I BELIEVE The reason for NOT Finding out about this place for so long is that the Clientel want to keep it a SECRET so as to be able to Get a Table when they come to Dine,and NOT have a LINE OUT THE DOOR!!! I LOVE This Diner,Large,Accomodating,even for Private Banquets,Repasts,Parties,Weddings. The Parking lot is usually deceivingly full,BUT,there was NEVER a Wait to be Seated,Service was FAST,COURTEOUS and TROUBLE-FREE,SO,For AN UNBELIEVEABLY GOOD DINING EXPERIENCE,TRY THE LAMP POST,YOULL BE A REGULAR TOO!!
