Ponzios Story Winner Announced!!

Cherry Hill, NJ… When Nina Yorker of Mt. Laurel, NJ learned that Ponzio’s – the Cherry Hill landmark diner and restaurant – was running a contest asking people to submit their favorite diner memory, she believed she had a great tale to tell. She was right. Her father-daughter prize winning story won her the “Ponzio’s People” eat-free-for-a-year gift card.

Yorker’s winning entry related the day she and her two gal pals skipped morning classes at Cherry Hill High School East in 1974 for a quick Ponzio’s stop for their favorite toasted cinnamon bun. The waitress informed them that their tab was being paid by the “man in the booth.” The man was Yorker’s father who promptly told her and her friends “to get their butts back to school.” That evening Yorker’s dad gave her a Ponzio’s credit card with one requirement οΎ– she and her friends have breakfast before school. And just to make sure, dad joined them. “To this day whenever I go to Ponzio’s with my own kids, I am flooded with great memories of my dad,” said Yorker.

For Yorker, the Ponzio’s gift card is also timely. She and her husband are currently unemployed. The gift card of $2,600 provides for a $50 dinner for two once a week for a year.

“We received hundreds of stories from our customers recalling first dates in the 1960’s to their children’s bridal shower to their grandchildren’s christenings here at Ponzio’s,” said Ponzio’s Partner, Chris D. Fifis, “Nina’s story resonates with a lot of people for whom Ponzio’s has been and continues to be tradition,” said Fifis.

Ponzio’s abides, through good times and bad

Beyond the chain restaurants and fancy lights of the consumer mecca that is Cherry Hill sits a diner on Route 70 that has managed to stay relevant and delicious even in complicated times.

Packed for every meal, during every day, Ponzio’s is one of the few eateries where families, seniors and power brokers feel comfortable booth to booth for a meal.

This family-owned diner started in the 1960s, and has been a community icon ever since. Recently, it upgraded its look and menu, so I had some qualms that something would be lost. But its classic character remained omnipresent when I returned this week. And the sweets display is still candy for the eyes.

A colleague and I sat down at the height of lunch, 12:30 p.m., to find great service from a fiery waiter with a sense of humor. Drinks were served within a few minutes, followed by bread and salad. Everything was clean and comfortable, even during the lunch rush.

We ordered one splurge item because it looked too good on the menu — crabcake sliders. At $8.99 we were pleased. Three crispy cakes with chunks of crab sat before us on toasted buns with a tasty sauce and a roasted red pepper on each mini-sandwich concoction. The presentation was a fusion of new world and old, and unexpected for a 40-year-old dining institution.

I ordered a classic hot open-faced turkey sandwich with fries and broccoli, while my colleague had the buffalo chicken salad. Both portions, as typical for American diners, were huge.

My only minimal complaint is that my fries and broccoli were slightly overdone, but still within the tasty boundaries. My turkey was satisfying, too. Not priced out of this world, at $11.99, on a cold and rainy day, it put me in the right spirits. Considering the proportions are enough for most people to take leftovers, it’s worth the money.

My colleague’s salad, at $9.99, was also good, and the buffalo chicken had just enough kick to be spicy, but not overwhelm the mouth.

Here’s to hoping Ponzio’s has 40 more years to come.
