Recently I went to The Gateway Diner in Westville, NJ.  It’s relatively local but not one I had been too.  I went on a Sunday around noon, and it wasn’t too crowded.  I was pleasantly surprised since Sunday for lunch is usually one of the busiest times.

Atmosphere: A
The Gateway Diner appears to be a regular restaurant, but on the inside, it’s all diner.  Each table is even complete with a jukebox.  There is everything you imagine in a diner including a massive bar, plenty of booths, and tables. There are a few specials written above the board as well.

Coffee: B
The coffee at the Gateway diner was good.  It wasn’t anything or unusual, but they did provide plenty of refills, and I have no complaints.

Food: B
The Gateway Diner has all of the basics of a diner.  There are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.  I wasn’t too hungry, so I decided to order a greek salad with chicken.  I was surprised at how large it was and as well as the amount toppings there were including anchovies.  Personally, I like anchovies.  In all, it was a great salad, and I have no complaints.  It was good for what I wanted for the day.

Service: A
The waitress was extremely friendly, and the food came out quickly.  It couldn’t be any better.

Cost: $
For my salad and coffee, the cost was $11.

Summary/Would I Come Back?
I enjoyed the Gateway Diner a lot and was pleasantly surprised by the entire diner.  It’s definitely one of my favorite in the area.
