I'd been meaning to stop at the Creekside Diner in Kennett Square for a while, but I never did until yesterday. One long single counter or a few small tables, take your pick. It's a very typical style diner. When I said I was after some biscuits and gravy and some bacon and eggs, I was picturing the serving being half of what I got. Those biscuits will slap your momma they were so good. Eggs and bacon perfect. I barely touched the potatoes read more

See all

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!!! They do not abide by their menu prices. We were charged at least 10% over prices on the menu. $3.79 for an extra egg with my meal. Outrageous. The food was overpriced at menu prices, but insane at their "new" prices. Unbelievable. Food was meh. Service was meh. Tables were soooooo small. Should've abided by the reviews and steered clear. Save your money and go somewhere else. Don't let them rip you off too. read more

Just keep driving to next place. Had western omelette with cheese, pleasant enough. Rye toast, ok. Breakfast potatoes, cold. Not hot, closer to cold. Now for the complaint. $15! Come on, was barely a $10 meal. And the chatty wait staff, keep your whining to the kitchen, got so bad I walked out leaving my plate half full because I couldn't take it any longer. read more

The customer service in this establishment was awful! We came in with a large party and the menu said very clearly that parties above 6 automatically get a tip included in the bill. We were more than willing to give a generous tip since we arrived with no reservation or warning. The tip wasn't clear on the bill, but once again, it was written very clearly on the menu that a charge would be automatically added. This confusion could have been cleared up very civilly once we were told there was no tip added from us. Instead, we were chased to our cars, screamed at, cursed at, and felt very threatened. We processed to give a nearly 30% tip and apologized many many times, we always tip. Even after that, we were harassed inside of the restaurant while giving the tip, and screamed at by the manager. Very unprofessional, disgusting behavior. Do not eat here!!! Also, 4 out of our 9 orders were incorrect and there were no complaints from us! read more

I grew up in Kennett and had many meals with previous owners. My favorite was always breakfast. So when I came back to town with my wife from Georgia, she wanted to experience my hometown. Despite a different owner the food took me right back to Jacks Dinner. The wife actually tried scrapple for the first time, and said it was ok. For me the chipped beef and home fries - right on the money. The staff - awesome. Checked on us, quick on refills and additional stories from the past. read more

Sixteen dollars and some change plus tip for an overcooked grilled cheese with bacon and undercooked French fries. One star for good service, will not be back. read more

I use Door Dash to order from this breakfast gem! The Monster Medley hoagie has all the best foods of breakfast overflowing a yummy roll. The scrapple and bacon are perfectly cooked and the home fries are seasoned perfectly. I haven't been able to dine in the restaurant yet, but it is a goal. Highly recommend the food for a comforting breakfast. They serve lunch also. read more

Creek Side Diner - Half Monster Medley breakfast hoagie, half Breakfast Hoagie with scrapple, side of bacon - Diners Near Me - Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

Ate breakfast there many times, always good. Only downside is when it's very busy service can be a little slow.

We ordered from here for breakfast. Our food was not good which was shocking since we read reviews before trying. We will not order here as it was disappointing to say the least. read more

Great place people are very nice people food wow enjoy it people let's support our restaurants and our people You don't see anymore those beautiful kind restaurants read more

Good little greasy Diner cheesesteak. Good extras; cheese, mushrooms and fried onions. The roll had a little toast on it. What I didn't like was the $9.49. I was hoping to avoid the Kennett Square surcharge. Next time I will get the $3.49 breakfast special. Very nice hard working people. Good overall experience. read more

The worst breakfast EVER!!! The potato tastes like they were two days old and reheated the breakfast sausage had no flavor the scrambled eggs were extremely dry the toast was barely toasted and soggy read more

A real throw-back. Good breakfasts - haven't had lunch yet. Try the Big Traveler. Thanks Hon.

Went for breakfast the server was miserable. Definitely did not want to wait on people. I could not even get her attention to get a refill on coffee. Food was not good. The potatoes were the only edible item. read more

I'm a fan. I like this place it cozy and the service is good. Serves its purpose for a solid breakfast. Came here with kids a few weeks back and my daughter was quick to point out that it was "not beautiful", which was great and also kinda true. But! I like that about this place, it's a diner and they don't need to be beautiful. They ought to have good breakfast for a good price and they fit the bill for this. read more

This establishment has good food but the waitress who seems like she's been there the longest had the worst attitude. The silverware and dishes were filthy. They don't have any sign stating they charge extra for cards but applied an almost $2 fee. When I asked where the fee came from the waitress got an attitude. I would never go to this establishment again. read more

Sweet and cute local diner. We were in the area for the weekend and ate breakfast here two days in a row. The menu is straightforward not fancy breakfast and lunch. Service is fast and friendly, and the clientele is friendly locals. There is a retro counter with stools, and a separate dining room with tables. We sat in the dining room. Breakfast prices are pretty reasonable for this affluent area, and our eggs, turkey sausage and rye toast were done perfectly. The coffee was very good too, and our server was quick to refill our cups. You gotta love a good diner and this is a good diner. read more

Creek Side Diner - Eggs and turkey sausage! - Diners Near Me - Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

Its breakfast so its kinds tough to screw up. These guys didnt. Good coffee. Good service and good food. A touch pricey if you get one of the specialties. I got the sausage gravy and biscuits. In my estimation a good test of any breakfast place. It all has to be homemade or its bad news. Gravy was creamy, good sausage flavor and well seasoned. Biscuits were fluffy. It may not look like much but then again ssome of the best ones never do. read more

I had a cheese omelet here for breakfast a few weeks ago. Well cooked egg with kinda cheapish cheese. Home fries were very good toast was fine, coffee was weak but I like strong coffee... Service was fine, price was just under 10 bucks and a 2 buck tip. Nice homey place, not outstanding food but it's fine. read more

I feel this dinner is quite pricey. You decide: mushroom and cheese omelette, homefries, toast, coffee and OJ. $19.15. notice I did not have any type of meat. read more

Have I had better meatloaf? Yes. Were the mashed potatoes instant and not very hot? Yes. Did the mixed vegetables probably come from a giant, industrial-sized can? Probably. So why on Earth would I give Creekside Diner 4 stars? Because, for $6.99, I had myself a hearty, comforting lunch and cannot fathom a better value somewhere. This isn't gourmet cooking, it's comfort food at reasonable prices. I did start my lunch off today with a cup of delicious, made from scratch sausage and bean soup, and it was great. So much so, I got an extra "to go". read more

2 out of 2 stars for Food 1 out of 1 stars for Service 1 out of 1 stars for Cleanliness 1 out of 1 stars for Atmosphere Had the good fortune of eating breakfast here twice now. Was a little apprehensive the first time because of the shape of the building. This is a greasy-spoon diner, if you're looking for fine dining, keep driving. The waitstaff is exceptional, friendly and efficient. So far we have had Creamed Chipped Beef, pancakes and French toast. The French toast was a bit soft and plain, the pancakes are huge and fluffy. The sausage and scrapple are locally sourced and the sausage is incredible! For the two of us our bill has been about 26 dollars. That's for two meals with a side of potatoes or sausage as well, and two drinks. Oh, and the home fries are delicious too! read more

The only reason I put one star is because there was no option for zero. For starters the table was already dirty and the waitress was trying to put placemats on top of the mess. The coffee my dad ordered was not hot only cool. Once we got our food our order was messed up, on top of the horrendous wait. I asked for a bacon and cheese omelette and got mushrooms instead. I told the waitress that my order was wrong and she said sorry and got me a new order, and was wrong again. That was twice in a row and about that time I had enough. On top of that my father and I asked for white toast and instead got rye and wheat toast. Seems like this place could f*** up a flat piece of metal if you ask me. This will be our last time eating in this establishment and that's putting it nicely. read more

Riley good Food great Atmosohere great read more

It's a shame we didn't get to eat here. We went there on a Wednesday around 9:20am with the kids . There was a table of 4, a table of one and a man sitting at the breakfast bar. The server seemed pleasant enough, and stopped by several times to tell us she'd take our order. After 15 minutes and the fourth time she said she'd be back, I had had enough and decided to leave. As we were exiting the server hollered at us "you know I'm the only one here!" I'm sorry that she couldn't handle 6 people and take our order. My daughter has been there before and said the food was good. Oh well read more

Good portions but some breakfast items can be over cooked. And the coffee isn't very good. This place could use an extreme "diner" makeover.

They're not ready yet!!! The Creekside Diner re-opened after the fire and some re-modeling and today was Day 2. New paint, new granite countertop and a new (to the diner, not EVERYWHERE else) computer system to put in orders. We waited 45 minutes for our order while we sat at the counter and watched the ONE cook (I will not call him a chef) who was at the grill when we arrived have to sit down while another griller took over. Had they BOTH been working, people may not have left, been forced to wait an untenable amount of time for their food, or ended up ending eating exasperated - like we did. That's no way to enjoy your meal. Except for one or two waitresses, the new computer system appeared painful to use for the others'. Why do I know this? Because we had 45 minutes to wait and watch the goings-on here. Most waitresses did not crack a smile and the poor young man in the kitchen was ostracized right and left by Mr. Griller. Really? We can see right into your kitchen. No wonder no one who works there could muster a smile on a Sunday morning. It is, after all, almost lunchtime now. I will try not to spend the rest of my day being angry at myself for not leaving. read more

We had the early bird special and the sausage gravy biscuits.. Wasnt please. Service was lacking but it seems like one server.. Pancakes were burnt sausge gravy with no flavor or sausage in it. It was our first and our last time. read more

Had a late breakfast on this past Sunday. I asked for fried eggs over hard. I specifically said " nothing runny!!" I only got to one bite before noticing a lot of runny egg. I would have had the waitress send them back but she never returned to see how our food was. I had to track her down to ask for some syrup for my pancakes. She was around the corner talking to another waitress about school and on her phone. Next, I ran out of coffee. Had the waitress stopped by, I would have asked for a refill. It didn't happen. I had to share my sons water. Again, I had to track down the waitress for my check. On the bright side, The pancakes were good. Not worth $28 for two people..... read more

This is one of the only diners around kennett, and after 3 years in the town, my friends and I decided to try it out. It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but the inside has so much character. The staff could be a little more nice, but damn the SOS was so good and the portions were HUGE! We are definitely coming back. read more

Best pancakes I have ever had. My husband's omelette was great and the corned beef hash was wonderful! We will be regulars.

Good food, reasonable prices and friendly service. The place is tiny and charming, but nothing fancy.

Looking for a little place in the Westchester area we went south on Route one and found the Creekside diner. Best breakfast ever. Best scrapple ever just like home. Everyone should come to the Creekside diner at least once in their life to experience the wonderfulness of the food, service, coffee spectacular coffee. I will be tweeting Donald Trump about the American decor and the spectacular Ness of the diner. read more

Best breakfast in town! Have ate here 3 times now and consistent quality and positive experiences! Great small mom and pop diner! Gets crowded so expect a few minutes for the food to cook! read more

Portions were ok. Asked for skim milk and they did not have it. Asked for egg whites and they said they couldn't. Food was good though.

There food is amazing and they have great costumer service. If I could go every weekend I would. Even when I call in they take no time to prepare my food and is still delicious. read more

It's ALL different. We've eaten here for more than a year some two or three times a month. Excellent diner breakfast! Home fries with crisp edges and soft centers, eggs exactly as requested, and biscuits like grandma never quite got this good! However, the last two times we went... about three weeks apart...a disaster! Everything swimming in cheap off-flavored oil, old potatoes, and eggs dead-on-arrival. Clearly they lost their very good cook and hired someone who only completed two lessons in how-to-cook. Better food in very bad Air Force mess halls. Do yourself a favor.... don't eat here. read more

Good simple breakfast. Great prices, especially before 8. 2 eggs, potatoes, toast, scrapple &coffee less than $6 including tax! 20th century prices for good home cooked food. I'll be back read more

CORN BEEF HASH! Awesome is all I have to say. cozy little spot with old school bar stools. don't sit on the broken one :)

I love this diner! Awesome food; always hot and tasty. Reasonably priced and the waitresses are THE BEST; cant do enough for you! Ask for Sherry and you will know what I'm talking about :) The owners are awesome, friendly folks, and always welcome you. read more
