Meeting for dinner around exit 3/4 turnpike

[meagan]

Any suggestions? We live in north Jersey and want to meet family from Delaware for a school night dinner. Nothing fancy...diner or Italian is fine. Just don't want it to be too complicated trying to find it in the dark (old eyes), so I would like it to be easy to get to from the TP or even 295.
Thank you everyone!

Right off exit 4 is the Sage Diner. Easy on and off for both of you. After exiting the turnpike, get onto 73 South (bear left after toll booth). Sage Diner is down about 3/4 mile on right side. Not the very best diner I've been to, but certainly easy on/off with decent food. If you do go, note that you should exit out the back entrance of the diner to make the u turn to get going again north towards the turnpike. There is also an On the Border and a Macaroni Grill just through the light at the Sage Diner. You can get back onto the turnpike in just minutes from any of these locations

A bit further south is a good Italian restaurant La Posata, also on Rt 73 (but on the northbound side) I'd say it's about 4 miles or so south of the turnpike entrance in the shopping center at Greentree Road and 73. This shopping center has a Whole Foods market and getting there does involve a jughandle. It's byob, but very good.

Thanks mschow. We went to the Phily Diner on the Black Horse Pike not far from Exit 3. Food was ok, service very nice, prices inexpensive.

You're welcome. I didn't suggest anything off of exit 3, as it gets extremely congested along the pike there, and it's only a 2 lane road to deal with all that traffic. Not very many good options off that exit either.
