New Jersey Diner Review #299: The Medport Diner in Medford, NJ

February 2, 2020March 9, 2021 newjerseyisntboring

Located on Route 70 sits the “new” Medport Diner. In case you haven’t been to the Medport Diner in a while, they have new owners and have completed reinvented this South Jersey diner since 2018.

Generally this is a classic NJ diner menu with a full range of breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, entrees etc.

Items on their Menu that Stood Out:
– a full list of cheese steaks ranging from traditional to names like the “Paparazzi”
– Specialty burgers which include a pastrami burger, reuben burger, and ranch avocado burger
– Sweet and Sour chicken tenders
– Clam Strips
– and 65 different lunch specials

There’s nothing I love more at a NJ Diner than an affordable lunch special, so I went all in. My lunch special came with a drink, soup or salad, and entree. My whole meal cost $11.

I started with a tea, which happened to be local Lacas tea which was a nice touch.

Because it was a colder day, I went with soup. I got something I have never gotten at a diner, a tomato soup! And this tomato soup came with tortellini inside.

I was not expecting this soup to be so hearty and delicious. I definitely didn’t need to eat anything else that afternoon.

Of course I was still expecting an entree…

My chicken cheese steak was GIGANTIC. I barely made it through a quarter of it before deciding to take it home.

I also substituted my fries for oven roasted potatoes which were delicious even though I barely touched them. They also came home with me.

I’m so glad I finally got to visit this diner and arrive there without any negativity going in. The diner was clean, the service was quick, and the food was inexpensive and tasty.
