If you find yourself driving through the rustic roads of Southampton Township in New Jersey, you might just catch a whiff of something spectacular. If you follow your nose to the classic diner smell, you’ll find Vincentown Diner – a place where the aroma of home-cooked meals fills the air and the towering, mouth-watering Mile-High Meatloaf beckons food lovers from near and far.

The Vincentown Diner was revamped by the Milatos family after they realized their original space just couldn’t shoulder their ambition. They opened the doors to their dreams in 1973, and since then, the diner has been dishing out meals that make you feel right at home.

Guy Fieri couldn’t resist making a pit stop here to experience that down-home cooking you can only find at a classic diner. Upon his visit, the focal point of his food adventure was the famed Mile-High Meatloaf – a dish so grand in stature and flavor that it’s like “a reverse meatloaf sandwich.”

We’re not just talking about your average meatloaf here. This titan of a dish starts with a blend of ground beef, Italian sausage, cooked-down peppers, and onions, all mixed with breadcrumbs that have been lovingly infused with roasted garlic and milk. “When people put raw veggies in meatloaf, it drives me crazy,” Guy states, emphasizing the importance of the cooked vegetables in achieving the perfect texture and taste.

The meatloaf is then lovingly covered in a homemade sauce – a concoction of ketchup, maple syrup, steak sauce, hot sauce, and a sprinkle of Montreal Steak Seasoning – before being baked, glazed, and seared off on the flat top to achieve a caramelized perfection. To accompany this meaty marvel, the diner whips up a gravy using bone broth that’s been simmering away for hours, ensuring every drop is packed with depth and flavor.

All this is piled atop a generous serving of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, creating the Mile-High effect that’s sure to challenge even the hungriest of diners. “This is tender, this is juicy… I can’t stop eating it,” Guy remarked with a satisfied grin, praising the layering of flavors from the Italian sausage and the prime rib in the gravy.

But Vincentown Diner isn’t just about the meatloaf; it’s a place where creativity meets comfort. Take, for instance, their Apple Pie French Toast – a dish that blurs the line between breakfast and dessert. It begins with thick slices of locally sourced white bread soaked in a traditional French toast batter and cooked to golden perfection. Then, it’s layered with soft, cinnamon-infused apples and crowned with a heavenly drizzle of salted caramel and a dollop of whipped cream. Guy’s verdict on this indulgence? “It’s like a wedding cake,” he quipped, marveling at the spot-on textures and flavors that define comfort food.

Vincentown Diner is more than just a diner; it’s a family legacy and a testament to how a classic diner can serve up innovative twists on diner classics while still preserving that warm, family atmosphere.
