That’s a long run of serving hungry people.

We want to hear from our readers on a very important subject: Diners. That’s right. Most of us are aware that New Jersey is known as the “Diner Capital of the World” , because, well, we have so many diners across the Garden State. And while some iconic diners have closed over the years , we still have plenty of options to fill our bellies with diner food, especially here in South Jersey. With that in mind, we created a poll so you can tell us which diner is your favorite among the ones we listed. The poll will remain open for about six or seven days so you will have time to revisit the poll. Oh, and do us a favor: We don't mind if you vote more than once, but we don't allow bots in our polls. These polls help small businesses in our communities. We don't want to have to eliminate one from the poll. Please consider a digital subscription to help support our journalism. Celeste E.
