The Westmont Diner has survived – even thrived – during the global pandemic for a myriad of reasons.
It’s a place people have loved for many years that offers quality food and service. The owners know they must continue to offer what people have come to expect from the Haddon Avenue family restaurant.
At the same time, surviving a year-long pandemic and ever-changing COVID-19 restrictions has meant they, like other restaurants who have kept their doors open, also needed to be creative and think outside the box.
During the pandemic, that meant buying the former Crystal Lake Diner on Cuthbert Boulevard, which they initially envisioned as a second location. The thought was to keep the original location, at the corner of Haddon and Maple avenues, mainly for takeout.
