Recently, the Red Lion Diner, a cherished local establishment that had been serving its community for half a century, delighted its patrons with daily specials ranging from Manhattan clam chowder to blackened tilapia and the BBQ pulled pork melt. However, the diner abruptly announced its permanent closure.
The Red Lion Diner, situated in Southampton, Burlington County, has been sold and, regrettably, will not be reopening, as confirmed by its ownership on Friday.
In a heartfelt message on Facebook, the ownership expressed gratitude for the unwavering support and patronage received over the years. They emphasized that while the decision was a challenging one, it was made in the best interest of their families.
To ensure that their loyal customers aren’t left with unused gift cards, the Red Lion Diner has taken the initiative to offer full refunds. Those with outstanding gift cards are instructed to contact them at info@rldnj.com, providing their gift card number, name, and address. In response, the Red Lion Diner will promptly issue a refund check, ensuring that this chapter concludes on a positive note.
The Red Lion Diner, a beloved local institution, initially opened its doors in 1973 and had been a fixture at the Red Lion Circle, an intersection where Routes 206 and 70 converge.
It’s important to note that the Red Lion Inn, a similarly named establishment further down the road, recently clarified that it remains open for business, dispelling any rumors or confusion. The Red Lion Inn is also an integral part of the Southampton community.
