Silverton Diner (Toms River)

Silverton Diner (Toms River, NJ)

A couple of weeks ago, I met Cyd from New Jersey Isn’t Boring at the Silverton Diner right outside of Toms River. It’s one of the last diners we both hadn’t been too in the greater Toms River area.  Cyd and I have been to no less than 30 NJ diners together!

Silverton Diner Atmosphere: B
The Silverton Diner has a huge sign that can’t be missed. It’s located in a shopping mall.

The interior of the Silverton Diner has several booths, tables, and a bar. It’s a big space but nothing special or unique.  The one thing I couldn’t help but notice was the “Psychic Night.”  I would be curious to come back and see what it is all about.

Silverton Diner Coffee: A
The coffee at the Silverton Diner was brewed hot and fresh with plenty of refills.  It was good coffee.

Silverton Diner Food: B
The Silverton Diner menu has plenty of options. There are several breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I had a migraine, and I wasn’t that hungry.

I decided to order the pebble peaches salad with chicken. It was a small salad with greens, canned peaches, nuts, and chicken, crunchy noodles. It was topped with balsamic glaze was tasty.

It was a good salad for what I wanted for the day, but it wasn’t my favorite ever. If I had been more hungry, I know I would have been more disappointed.

Silverton Diner Service: C
Even though the Silverton Diner wasn’t that crowded, the waiter took a while to come back. He seemed disconnected from the table and his day. He was friendly, but it seemed like he didn’t want to be there and forget Cyd’s soup and brought out the wrong dressing.

Silverton Diner Cost: $
For the salad and coffee, it was $15.

Overall Thoughts/Would I come back to the Silverton Diner?
It wasn’t a bad diner, but the Silverton Diner wasn’t my favorite. It was right in the middle as far as diners go.

Afterward, we stopped next door at the local donut shop, which was excellent.

Fast Break Diner (Toms River)

Fast Break Diner (Toms River)

Fast Break Diner (Toms River, NJ)

Recently I went to the Fast Break Diner in Toms River with Cyd of New Jersey Isn’t Boring.  We have been to around 20 diners together, and it’s becoming increasingly more challenging to find diners neither of us has been too.

As many long-time followers know, in a distant life, I used to live much closer to Toms River, NJ.  My regret is not going to more shore diners.  Now it’s about 75 minutes to get out there.

We met at the Fast Break Diner around 11 am on a weekday, and it was crowded.  When we asked the host about it, they said it actually wasn’t as crowded as usual.

Fast Break Diner Atmosphere: A
The atmosphere of the Fast Break Diner is more intriguing than anything.  The outside is one large open window, and you can see everything inside of the Fast Break Diner.  The inside is a bright seashore blue.  It reminds me of a lot of the Papermoon Diner in Baltimore.  There are a lot of odds and ends trinkets around, but it fits the atmosphere of the Fast Break Diner.

Fast Break Diner Service: A
Our waiter at the Fast Break Diner was great.  He refilled our beverages, and our food was out within minutes.  Definitely one of the better services I’ve had at a diner.

Fast Break Diner Coffee: A
The coffee at the Fast Break Diner was brewed hot every time, and the waiter gave me a giant cup of whipped cream, so it’s hard to argue with that.

Fast Break Diner Food: B
The Fast Break Diner menu is more limited than most diners.  They have a few pancakes, omelets, sandwiches, and a few salads.  There wasn’t a lot of unique or exciting options minus the fried cheddar cheese balls.  Cyd and I opted to split them, which we quickly realized we ordered a lot of food.

At the time, I’m not exactly sure what I was craving.  We went at an off time, so they were also out of a lot more food items, including pumpkin pancakes.  Nothing on the Fast Break Diner menu spoke to me, so I decided to order a roasted red pepper and artichoke omelet and an Indian summer salad.

I ended up taking most of the omelet home.  It was great and had a lot of artichokes, roasted red pepper, as well as melted cheese.  It wasn’t greasy and one of the better diner omelets I’ve had.

I’ve never had an “Indian Summer Salad,” but it had lettuce, dried cranberries, pears, walnuts, and feta cheese.  It was a good diner salad, and I’ve had much worse.   Despite ordering a bit of everything, I was happy with my choice.

In all, my food was good, but I do wish they had a few more menu options.

Fast Break Diner Cost: $
For my salad, omelet, coffee and the fried cheese balls, the cost was $20, which isn’t bad considering I had almost an entire second meal.

Overall Summary/Would I come back to the Fast Break Diner (Toms River)?

I liked the Fast Break Diner and would go back.  I do wish the Fast Break Diner menu was bigger or had more of the specials in stock, but other than that, I have no complaints.
