Restaurant Suggestion Needed

[njduchess]

Driving South tomorrow on the Turnpike. We'll probably want to stop around 5:30 for dinner and we should be in the neighborhood of Camden or Gloucester County.

Suggestions of restaurants in the vicinity would be most appreciated. We want good food but not fine dining (meaning lengthy). We would like to stay relatively close to the Turnpike. Any cuisine would be fine.

Thanks for your input.

Never been to that area but Barnsboro Inn, 699 Main St. Barnsboro received 2 stars from NJM 10/01. Camden isn't even listed in Zagat. Maybe you should plan on having a picnic.

I'd stop at a Roy Roger's but then again that's just me.

Avoid the Maryland House rest stop on 395 just over the border. Its rough and sub-par. Make a detour into Baltimore and have grilled branzino at Black Olive.

The Stern's Roadfood site suggests a place called Mastori's in Bordentown, NJ. Describes it as a bakery diner, huge, convenient to the Turnpike. Haven't there myself, but it seems to fit your basic parameters (near Camden, convenient to the Pike at exit 7).

Lowell's been to Mastori's in Bordentown and loved it. Seems like this place has a cult following. That would probably be your best bet.

I have written on an earlier thread about Le Me Toujours, a Franch/Vietnamese fusion resto in Marlton, about 1 mile off exit 4 on Route 73. (Easy Off/Easy On on the Turnpike) . A very reasonably priced place, very interesting food. Read more here

For basic stuff, Olga's Diner is another 1/2 mile down at the traffic circle.
