After more than 32 years, the diner in Westville is serving its last meals Sunday night. Owners said the property was being acquired by the state through eminent domain for a bridge project.
The South Jersey landmark for over 30 years served its last customers Sunday. It cited a bridge project and the state’s seizure of land related to its construction.
The diner property is located near Route 47 and a bridge over Big Timber Creek between Brooklawn and Westville — a span the New Jersey Department of Transportation plans to replace. The bridge, built in 1928, is “structurally deficient and functionally obsolete,” according to state records.He said the project is expected to begin later this year, NJ.com reported. Under New Jersey law, state and local governmentsfor property taken by eminent domain.
Longtime patron William Barnett, who’s been eating at the diner for decades, said the closing of the restaurant “is just wrong. It’s a New Jersey landmark. The state takes what it wants, but it’s wrong and this place will be missed.” It’s been their go-to spot every Sunday since their arrival, and they’re sad to see the place close its doors after so many memories. “The owners are great people,” Charles said. “It’s very sad and devastating to see it go.”
With tears in his eyes, Joseph Reiber looked back on his memories inside the diner. He’s eaten at the restaurant twice a week for the last 25 years. “It’s like family,” the longtime patron said. “I don’t know what other diner to go to.”
