I eat breakfast at The Brandywine fairly often and find the meal pretty decent. I always walk by the desert counter and everything looks amazing. I recently decided to purchase a couple of deserts to go. Well, I found out that they are not as good as they appear. They look perfect in the display but when I got home and started to eat them, I found out that they were dry and hard when they should have been light & flakey. I had to used a steak knife to cut through the pastry. I won't buy any more deserts from there again. read more

This was a pleasant surprise and a needed addition to the route 202 corridor. When you walk in you are immediately met by the large baked goods case on display. I should have requested a seat right there. First impression was a clean, bright and airy reminiscent of the classic Jersey diner. Entrees were burgers, tuna sandwich and I get pancakes and eggs. Everyone liked their sandwiches very much. The pancakes were just okay. Not as light as I like. Service was very friendly and very efficient. Prices made this a good value for what you get. Will return for sure. read more

We LOVED!!!!! the food we ordered. It was seasoned just right, great portion size. Our server was wonderfully efficient and attentive, but not oppressive. We ordered: Biscuits and gravy (came with home fries) waffle sundae California omelette Hot tea Hot cocoa All our food arrived in a timely fashion and looked delicious! It was well-presented, and about slightly lower than the average price and a good value. We have been traveling to different states in most states we try the biscuits and gravy. Our #1 used to be from 25Main in St. george, Utah back in 2017. This is our new #1! read more

It took a lot of guts and wisdom to open in the midst of a country wide lock down on so many restaurants, and open they did. Fitting right in with the times this bright, big, sparkly well lit diner offers take out, curbside pick up and indoor seating. Seriously speaking I don't know if I've ever seen a menu with so many selections to satisfy any appetite. Oversized portions that will leave most walking out with leftovers for later or the next day. After navigating through their sanitized menu ( I saw them cleaning them after every use). I decided on Veal Piccata with a couple of sides and a cup of Chicken Florentine to start. My guest kept it very traditional with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies and lotsa gravy. Sorry no room for dessert but the pics tell it all. Located right across from the Concord mall so if you're hungry after shopping try-'em. read more

Brandywine Diner is associated with Springfield Diner in Delaware County, PA. It's got that classic diner feel, space, and selection (which is about everything you can imagine). I didn't feel like they had much regard for social distancing as tables were very close together and they looked like they were at near capacity seating. If you're concerned about that, this is not the place to go. As for the menu, I'm sure there's a lot we have to explore. However, the dishes we ordered were not them. My wife got the chicken kabobs. Not great. My son got a spaghetti kids meal. Too watery. I got one of the specials, prime rib. It wasn't very good. Too tough. Not the best cut of beef. Big portion, though. The sides I had were hit (fries) or miss (zucchini). I'd be okay with trying it again, but my wife was not happy with the experience. read more

The service was good and reassuring in our current troubling times. The food was great and provided a great value. I had the chopped steak and eggs and was surprised at the large portion. It is definitely a repeat location. The staff checked in regularly and was quick with refills. I am looking forward to try out their lunches and dinners at this establishment. read more

Very good diner. You would think that you are in Jersey! Yesterday we had lunch and it was delicious. I had the Turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes. Amazing!! The gravy was excellent!! The Turkey was moist!! So happy with this dish!! My wife had the macaroni and cheese with crab cake.... crab cake?! It was a crab loaf!! HUGE CRABCAKE!! We are having breakfast this morning. I had the #1 special. My wife had the French toast special. The specials come with juice and coffee or tea. Great value! The foos was very good. However I asked for my eggs over medium and they were not medium. Very runny. A little concerned. This is someplace I will be eating at frequently! read more

Our server, Maddie, was great, very attentive, prompt and pleasant. However the food was mediocre and the 3 people in my party agreed we would not return. My burger was edible, but the fries were good. The other two had chicken sandwiches & were unimpressed. The ambiance was fine, classic diner. read more

I have made several visits to the Brandywine Diner while traveling to this area on business. The food is very good (with an exception to be called out later). The selection on the menu is wide-ranging. With an emphasis on Greek and Italian dishes. The exception to the quality of food was when I ordered biscuits and gravy. The accompanying home fries were hot, but the gravy was room temperature. I have been here a handful of times, and this has been the only disappointment thus far. I have to single out Sandy on the dining room staff for her wonderful attitude and sunny disposition. is friendly professional, and helpful. read more

While in the ATL perimeter mall area, this place is a must go. The place was packed on a Tuesday for lunch and once you go you will know why. High quality and great food is just the beginning. I loved the fried artichoke app and the lasagna read more

Very nice experience. California omelette was prepared well, with generous ingredients including tasty avocado. My wife ordered a breakfast wrap that she enjoyed. Plus: the restaurant was spotlessly clean and crisp. Minus: prices were about $2 above the general market. read more

Brandywine Diner - California omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

General Review: Food was very mid and was too pricy. Service was worse, and somehow the atmosphere was the even worse than the service. Do yourself a favor, go to every diner in the area but this one. 1 Star is generous. Specifics: Food came out quick, but wasn't good at all. But the worst part, I asked for a to go box, to go cup, and the check. THIRTY MINUTES LATER, i'm still sitting there, anxious as heck, waiting for the waiter (who shall remain nameless) to give me some to go boxes and the check so I can leave. 35 minutes later, STILL NOT CHECK OR TO GO BOXES. Finally, I think the manager? Comes near my table, I tell him I've been waiting 35 minutes for a check. He Tells ME to go to the front to pay for myself. At a SIT DOWN RESTAURANT. I pay $21 for terrible service and mid food. I should have walked out. But wait there is more... I leave the restaurant so upset, I walk back in and want to leave a in person review. The Manager, says "no need to be upset". When I clearly was not tended to with there full attention and care. He walks me out of the restaurant and says again, "no need to be upset" with his hands on Me. He completely ignored my request to leave a in person review. Bottom Line: DO NOT go to this "Diner". You will be disrespected and not treated with care. All Luv read more

the chicken was frozen and reheated. the server was that caring and took us 45 minutes to get our cold food. the bathrooms were dirty and the dessert was stale. read more

Saw there was a new diner in the area since last visit. Seemed like there was a good crowd. Decided to try it. Found out the attraction is the quantity of the food served. Obviously, it wasn't the quality. Crab cakes had the consistency of oatmeal...and... actually, the same flavor. French onion soup was the same as the Knox powdered French onion. Skip it Cheeseburger was okay but even a McDonalds is tastier. If you want a lot of food this is the place for you. If you want flavorful food cooked properly skip it. Our waitress was very nice. read more

We had Dawn as our server a md she was the best! Friendly, fast and accurate. My cherry cheese cake was delicious. Thanks

The food was great and so was the customer service. We always pick this place as our go to breakfast spot.

We are back again for a delicious breakfast after appointment. I tried the California Omelette (contains Avocado, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Green peppers, Onions and Cheese). Comes with toast of your choice and hash browns. My entree was perfect. My husband had Two eggs over medium with sausage and toast. I took away a star as he has had the same issue with his eggs every time. The eggs are almost soupy raw not Over Medium. Not sure how to correct this for the next time. read more

Visited: Monday July 12, 2021 @ 10:45AM I ordered one egg over easy with Italian sausage and unbuttered rye toast. No breakfast is complete without hot, black coffee. I received everything in timely order except the sausage. The server said that I'd receive it shortly. In less than two minutes I received a properly cooked Italian sausage. I shall return Note: this diner and the Springfield Diner in Springfield, Pa (Delaware county) are owned by the same family read more

This is diner like I am used to. They have an extensive menu including seafood, poultry, pasta, sandwiches, entrees, etc. The serving sizes are substantial. I had the steak house salad today. The greens were fresh and plentiful but the strips of steak were only ok. We were seated right away. Service was quick and courteous. The place was quiet and appeared clean. Parking is ample and there is an Olive Garden and TGI Friday's in the same plaza where this diner is located. I have to use a wheelchair when I'm out and about and the Brandywine Diner is easily accessible. I have eaten at this diner several times and the service and food is consistent. This is not a fancy or gourmet restaurant but the food is good, there is a wide variety available, and the prices are reasonable. read more

I was looking forward to a classic diner experience after rave reviews from a couple of friends. However, I was very disappointed. I ordered their blue cheese burger and was stunned when it arrived. It was a pre-formed frozen patty on a bun. It was over cooked and had absolutely no taste. The mini side of coleslaw (in a small plastic container that you would use for salad dressing for take out) was the only tasty part of the meal, which was about 2 forkfuls. I was expecting a juicy burger, but what I got was a hockey puck. Won't be going back! read more

Delicious breakfast at the Brandywine Diner for the last couple days! Menu is fairly comprehensive for both breakfast and lunch. They could stand to add some additional items that are gluten free. read more

Brandywine Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

This Diner was excellent when it first opened. Really brought me back to my days in NJ and our cherished diner scene. Specials, "complete" meals, huge salads, Greek additions etc. All awesome. Horribly downhill from there. Overall quality dive. The kitchen is really lacking execution. Zero attn to detail. My Greek salad came with only 2 of the 5+ toppings. No peppers, cukes, anchovies. Our tuna melt came as a grilled sandwich, not open faced, and horribly sloppy, almost nasty. The fries are the cheapest kind possibly sourced. Soggy and brown. Our side Greek salad was meant in place of the nasty fries, but was just lettuce, and tomato. Nothing Greek. Crazy thing was that all this food was dropped to us and WE had to speak up out the glaring issues with it. Only for the server, who ran the food, to seem lost and surprised. The customers next to us were furious with their situation as well. Must've been 3-4 floor mgmt personalities strolling around, not checking or asking customers anything. Servers visibly barehanded adding fries and pickles to plates from the open kitchen doors. Who's running things??? We paid in full and left almost laughing at what we'd experienced. Mgmt needs to full on retrain and buckle down on their staff. This is Concord Pike. Prepare to be busy! read more

Just left the Brandywine Diner. Could not believe the amount of delicious food we got for the price! Our server,Jillian was fast and friendly!

There are better dinners in the area, wouldn't personally recommend. Food was not great, service was subpar.

Ordered a French dip and the New Orleans style chicken. The portions are enormous and, nowhere on the menu does it say that bacon is a big part of the chicken sandwich. See photo. The sandwich arrived and it was smothered in bacon and cheese. The French dip was ok but like I said, unbelievably huge. read more

Brandywine Diner - Inaccurate menu description. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

I just tried to leave when I placed an order and they wouldn't simply let me get 1 side instead of two I didn't want. I stupidly agreed to stay but I was so turned off by the initial service that I didn't want my food. I ate a few bites and left still with a bad aftertaste in my mouth the food wasn't good at all. Don't be a sucker like me take your money somewhere else and get real food and service. If you are looking for a good meal and service this place should be last on your list complete dump read more

I've been here for breakfast a few times and now feel qualified to write a reasonably informed review (keeping in mind that it has only recently opened and that I have not yet been here for lunch or dinner). First-off ... the decor. This place initially caught my eye from the road during it's construction. My family is from the Jersey Shore and as the building started to take shape, I noticed the same gleaming aluminum siding, neon lighting, and scalloped accents reminiscent of so many of those '50's-style, old-school classic roadside New Jersey diners that dot their way along the coast. This same art deco retro styling continues to flow as one enters the restaurant throuhh the spacious, high-ceilinged atrium and into the dining room. Desserts are on display in a well-lit, glass-enclosed case under the front counter. There are three distinct main dining areas and a coffee counter, though the floorplan retains an open layout. Food ... Everything I have had off the breakfast menu has been excellent. The menu is huge and appears to offer something for everyone (although I doubt it is Halal or Kosher for people with those dietary needs). Although I don't personally love the particular restaurant plaza the diner is located in (just because of how busy parking and navigating in the lot can be), it is ideally situated along 202. Given the quality of the food, the portions, and the reasonable pricing, I think Brandywine Diner is going to present a serious competitive challenge for some of the other restaurants filling this particular niche in the area. Cleanliness ... At the times we've been there, even when busy, the restaurant has appeared spotless. Hours ... Right now, it looks like the Diner is open 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.. I don't know if they plan on operating late-night hours as COVID-19 restrictions lift or if their lease in this plaza prevents them from doing so. Alcohol ... I didn't see any there. Some diners have alcohol, some don't. Just mentioning it here in case that's important to any readers. Service ... So far, service has been excellent. The owners also have a restaurant in Springfield which is temporarily closed because of COVID-19 restrictions and it's my understanding that several of the employees from that location have temporarily come here so they could keep working. As the Pandemic situation eventually improves (and it WILL improve), and some of those employees return to the Springfield location, it is my sincere hope that the same level of service will be maintained. Gripes ... I have only one gripe so far. I recently did a takeout order for my family and when we unpacked everything, we were dismayed to find that we hadn't received some of the side accompaniments that were supposed to come with the order. (Strawberries & Cream, butter, forks etc.). Nothing major, but still, we didn't get everything we paid for. Granted, the diner was busy, the phone was ringing, etc. My family has owned restaurants the past and I know how easy it can be to forget to pack something for a takeout order since you just don't see everything laid-out in front of you like at a table. It would just be nice to see a little more care taken the next time. We'll definitely be back though! I'll provide an update on the place once we've tried other parts of the menu. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times and got the same thing both times - pancakes with strawberries. The pancakes themselves are delicious! Both times, though, the strawberries were in bad shape and I couldn't eat most of them. Bruised, bad spots, soft, etc. Also, the water doesn't taste good. Service is okay. First time I went we had to ask another server to find ours because she had been away for so long and we were ready for our checks. Second time was much better. read more

Tryed this diner again.. not a great amount of changes! Portions were ample but our fried seafood dinner saw signs of of needing a better chef to make sure the seafood was cooked completely while some of the fried flounder was over cooked! chicken parm was ok big serving.. we added a side of apple sauce which was crazy high dollar for the size and it looks like they hiked the price of drinks! Dessert case was really tempting so I took the chocolate napoleon to go for dessert! Big disappointment.. was dry and had to use a steak knife to cut thru the layers! Last but not least there is a sign posted by the cashier asking patrons to pay cash because their system was very slow! Did not experience any slow downs ! read more

My family and I go here almost every Sunday. It is, by far, the best diner in Delaware. The food and service is great. They get everything out very quickly but it is still great. I definitely recommend this diner! read more

For us it was a zero tonight. I honestly can not find one positive thing to write. This was our first time, service was poor at best. I ordered scrambled eggs with ham and onions and home fries. I received scrambled eggs only. I mentioned it to our waitress and she did nothing. My husband ordered the cheeseburger with bacon...he received a hockey puck with no bacon. We asked for ketchup twice both times received empty bottles. The presentation of the food is something you can do yourself. We probably will go back but not for a few months. Everyone wore masks and the busboy did clean the tables with some sort of cleaner. Definitely need to work the kinks out. read more

Coming back from the Air Show, the four of us were in the mood for breakfast for dinner. I'm a diner breakfast connoisseur, and my taste expectations are high. Not only was the place clean, the waitress was very attentive, and the food came out in record time. The food was exactly what I was craving. Great place, and if we are in the area again, we'll know where to go. Prices were on par for the quality. read more

We ate there today and maybe the worst meal I have ever had. I ordered fried shrimp which was over breaded and over fried. The salad that came with it had lettuce, one half of a tomato, 2 cucumbers and some red onion. Dressing was almost tasteless. The baked potato was cold and green beans were so watery they were inedible. One of our party had the fried fish platter and same treatment as the fried shrimp. Meat load entree looked like some kind of processed meat covered in gravy with cold mashed potatoes. Fourth diner ordered a roast beef wrap and sad to say it did not stay long in his stomach. We won't be going back there ever. The only nice thing I can say is the waiter was very pleasant. read more
