The Chestnut Diner and Bistro (Vineland)
The Chestnut Diner and Bistro has been on my to-do list for a long time. It’s less than an hour from my house, but it’s deep into the South of New Jersey, so it’s not on the way too much. I decided to go on a hike around Maurice River, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to go.
The Chestnut Diner and Bistro (Vineland) Atmosphere: B
When I arrived at the Chestnut Diner and Bistro (Vineland)around at 10:30 on a Saturday, it was packed. In fact, it was one of the few diners I’ve had to wait for a table. It wasn’t a big deal, and I got one within 5 minutes. There is outdoor seating, and the inside is one big room with booths, tables, and a full-length bar. It’s not a big, stereotypical diner but a nice one.
The Chestnut Diner and Bistro (Vineland) Coffee: A
The waitress put more whipped cream on the coffee than actual coffee. It wasn’t a bad thing, and I gladly took it all. The coffee itself was great too. As far as diner coffees go, it was one of the best.
The Chestnut Diner and Bistro (Vineland) Food: A
The Chestnut Diner and Bistro menu has a lot of unique options. They also have both vegetarian and vegan options which can be tough to find in a diner. The pear and spinach salad sounded good to me, but I decided to make a last-minute decision for the New York Omelet. The omelet was cooked well. The New York omelet was filled with applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, ham, and Swiss. I enjoyed it and one of the better breakfasts I’ve had.

Questions for you:
What is your favorite breakfast?
Do you like omelets?
You sure do love your coffee ☕️😆
I wouldn’t say love but I do like to get it most meals to compare it to other diners. Are you a coffee drinker?
Hmmmm my favourite breakfast would have to be any breakfast food really; i could have them all day if I could!
Same! Breakfast is the best!
I feel like ive been to or at least seen most NJ diners. Never heard of this one, might have to make a trip down from North Jersey for it.
That’s neat they have vegan as I rarely can eat at diners with my dairy and gluten allergies!
Oh no. It is funny because a lot of diners or restaurants around here are allergy friendly. Where do you live AJ?
I live on the west coast of Canada. The bigger restaurants are good now, but most small diners I end up eating plain lettuce:(
