Sept 26-While on our way to Marlton we stopped at Harley Dawn diner for quick lunch at 2:30 The woman server sat us (an empty restaurant) at a booth almost next to the kitchen on back wall. When she heard how cold I was, She said you can move to the front booth of the restaurant.
We placed our order, goat cheese salad and a goat cheese burger. She explained it was a hamburger with goat cheese on top, That’s why it’s called goat cheese “hamburger”. I have ordered this at another establishment and I really didn’t need her to explain to me as if I was a child( I am over 60 years). Her tone of voice was loud & condescending. When our dishes arrived she slammed the plates down on the table. While my husband and I said thank you! He asked for more coffee; she did not look happy only a scowl. She had only 3 deuce tables in the restaurant for 45 minutes. The salads were fresh with homemade Greek dressing. My burger with spinach & onion ring topped with seared goat cheese was delicious! Upon asking for the bill, I told the server we didn’t appreciate her attitude and constant raising her voice. She apologized. She was lucky we gave her $5. Too bad but we will never return after 4 prior visits…2 out of 4 miserable server experiences, we are done!

After a long day we decided to stop here for a quick dinner. The service from our waitress was AMAZING. This other woman that just started was helping out (I think) and she was amazing as well. The food was devoured within 10-15 min…. SO SO GOOOD!!! Definitely recommend to anyone who’s thinking about coming here. When we’re back in the area we will definitely stop by again.

First time here. Coming from Wildwood to meet my besties! The drive was really easy. I most definitely would recommend the trip. The outside isn’t eye candy but the inside is cute & clean with clean bathrooms. What more could you ask for? Food, you say? Well, it was breakfast time, so we all had breakfast food. I myself had the usual Belgium waffle with a side of sausage. Not very adventurous but hey it’s breakfast! The waffle was cooked to perfection and served . My friends all had something different. Sorry, but the only thing I remember is the eggs Benedict. My friend raved about it. At my age, I can’t remember what everyone else had. Like I said worth a try! They also offer a parking lot.

I am currently driving through the United States, stopping in towns and small cities as I go, trying to get a better sense of the culture of the U.S. When I stumbled upon Harley Dawn Diner, it was exactly what I would think of when I think of the “modern diner”. The interior was clean, friendly, and brightly sunlit. There were two people working front of house when I arrived, but the service never felt slow or shallow. The smiles I got were genuine and the service was prompt.
While there, I got the Goat Cheese Egg Wrap and a scoop of Blood Orange ice cream. Let’s start with the wrap. What a spectacular breakfast burrito! The goat cheese gave a creamy, tangy bite while the avocado balanced out the tartness. The bacon contrasted with its salty, savory chew and the quinoa rounded the experience out with some needed balance. The wrap was $11 and I was full halfway through eating the meal (and I hadn’t even touched the home fries yet). And yet, I wasn’t struggling to finish it because every bite beckoned me to eat more. Then, when the wrap was done, the crispy, fluffy home fries finished the meal off with a chef’s kiss.
After such a wonderful breakfast, I was inspired to have some of their home made ice cream, even though it was only 11am and I was very full. I got a very generous scoop of blood orange ice cream for only $4.25. And wow, this ice cream was unlike most modern American ice cream in a good way. There was almost a chewy consistency which reminded me a bit of Turkish ice cream; and the bits of candied blood orange peel added a textural chew which popped with flavor. What a breath taking scoop of ice cream. And I don’t say that lightly as a professional ice cream reviewer.
Over all, this restaurant, which focuses on sustainability, local ingredients, and great service, lives up to everything it sets out to do, all in a clean, welcoming atmosphere. If I am in New Jersey again, I am stopping by. 11/10.

Ok. So … I eat a LOT of burgers. And I mean a LOT. All kinds, from diners and restaurants to fast casual and fast food. Lots and lots and lots of burgers. This Reuben Burger was AMAZING, probably one of my top five restaurant burgers anywhere. Why? IT’S A FREAKING RUBEN ON TOP OF A MASSIVE ANGUS BURGER PATTY. What’s not to like? Corned beef, sauerkraut, Russian Dressing, Swiss Cheese … as a TOPPING?!?!? Heck yeah!!! The patty itself was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful. The bun was not too overpowering. And the fries were EXCELLENT. I’ve driven past this place maybe 100 times over the years and never stopped by until this trip. Calling it a ‘Diner’ is something of a misnomer, and I wonder if people pass it by as a result. This place is a fabulous RESTAURANT with a great menu, amazing vibe, fast and courteous server staff, just an amazing place. We will be BACK!!! Recommended!!!

HDD is a clean diner with excellent service. My friend got a seafood platter that she absolutely loved. I wasn’t as enthusiastic about my choice of food, but it was acceptable diner food. The atmosphere was not a typical diner… kind of out of the way…. and enjoyable that way. There were windows all the way around, which gave it a very open space feeling. Reasonable prices and decent amounts… I would go back there again and order something different. What I got was breaded…and I just don’t like breaded food. However, there is plenty else to choose from next time.

Ended our vacation with a brunch stop yesterday at Harley Dawn Diner. Yummy Blueberry Mimosa, and Hubby said his Bloody Mary was good. I had the waffle topped with fresh blueberry puree and blueberries, and of course whipped cream. The side of bacon was standard, but cooked to a perfect crisp. My husband commented that his French Toast was thick and fluffy. They only offer standard “pancake syrup” ;we’d gladly pay an up charge for a real maple syrup option. I tried Hubby’s home fries which were crispier than they looked, and kind of wished I had ordered them after trying, lol, but my husband said he’s had better home fries. Cute place, great service, restroom could have used a tidying pass.

Great place to stop for a bite to eat. The indoor space is open and airy and modern. I’m vegan and there’s always at least one option for me. Yesterday I had a vegan breakfast wrap and my husband had the hangover hoagie. Both were delicious and the outdoor seating area was very nice. Love that they also have a liquor license so we can grab a drink too.
