Good food as usual! I had the beef burger on a Kaiser roll. It was good, but I've had better burgers, and I'm not a fan of Kaiser rolls--too much bread for me. My better half had the house-roasted roast beef on multigrain with lettuce and tomatoes and said it was delicious. We also got onion rings and deluxe chili to go. Can't wait for dinner! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The only negative was the bathroom--it really needs a remodel and could have been cleaner. read more

Hello Friends, that was how we were welcomed and addressed the whole time we were there. Cross Keys (Good Eats) is a very small, very local, very homey diner on Swamp Rd. With a full bar of spinners and dining area the waitstaff works together and before long your food is before you. Our plates looked appealing enough and the portions were generous. My eggs and bacon were basic with no surprises and his pancakes looked fluffy and light. While his eggs were perfectly cooked to order, the sausage was undercooked and still pink inside. The full dining room kept the staff busy and unable to check back in time for the issue to be remedied but we did end up swapping it out for bacon after our meal was finished. There is always room for bacon The place is dated and could use some sprucing up, pricing is slightly on the high end for basic breakfast and no specials that include coffee/tea - that coupled with the undercooked meat. Cross Keys earns three and a half stars with room for improvement. read more

Always a great experience when we go! We've been coming here for years and the food and service has always been very consistent! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh and delicious! They have daily specials which include tons of local produce and they always have something new and exciting. There is usually a bit of a wait to get seated, but it is always worth it! read more

TL/DR: the specials seem awesome, but apparently sell out fast A cute little space, with a lot of staff on hand, clearly a favorite of locals. There were some awesome specials that our somewhat harried server belatedly told us were sold out- after we'd ordered them, and she headed back to the kitchen to place our order. Uh....OK, so staying on top of things wasn't her key skill set, I guess. My SOS was good, though I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe the dried beef was Hormel quality (IFYKYK). It still hit the spot, and I'd come back again if I passed this way. read more

Cross Keys Diner - Creamed chipped beef - Diners Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Decent place! I got the white fish salad which was on special. Pretty good! My only criticism would be I was trying to pick the least salty thing on the menu and I could definitely tell the fish was very salty. If I weren't trying to watch my blood pressure I'd get that all day long. There is a little bakery in the back lot too. I wouldn't travel for it but if I was passing it I'd stop again. Hard to get in and out of with all the traffic along there. read more

Great service very kind staff. Only thing was they didn't explain how to pay.. now I know you have to go up to the attendant at the front of the diner! Would've liked to know where to pay so me and my friend didn't sit there for longer than needed! Amazing experience otherwise :) read more

Well I'm glad I decided to give it another go- I've now been coming semi regularly over the past year or two and have enjoyed it immensely. I particularly love that I can get a combo with eggs meat and French toast - the combo platter. The baked goods are also heavenly - had pumpkin bread pudding and a raspberry muffin both to die for. Their coffee is good too. They're definitely always busy which is great for them but the wait can sometimes be a little long. Sometimes the tables are a tight squeeze and they run out of specials - but this is all just a testament to how good they are. Last time we put our name and were told it was be a 20 minute wait, we came back maybe 12 minutes later and they had given our table away so we had to wait longer - but then they offered to text another group after us. That's been the only real problem I've had but overall exceptional. Oh and I like the potatoes the old way - but that's just me. However you can ask for them with onions which I never knew until I asked. They make the best eggs - hands down. read more

I could have bought the same hash browns at McDonald's and a nasty waitress said "no fruit" was available for the top of my Belgian waffle?????? Over $90 (with tip) for 4 ... Definitely not worth the hype (or the long wait) read more

Love this place. Food's.outstanding and the staff is quick to get to know you. It can be busy on weekend, but that's never stopped us. It's worth it. Ambiance is like you'd expect for diner, but it's clean and super-organized. We try to get there at least once a week for breakfast (usually) or lunch . Also, the best milkshakes in the area. read more

Stay away....Tried two times. First time. Forgot about my order. Waitress said " oops ' Second time was worse. I met my dad there and i was embarrassed. I wrote this review on their site and they said good... Don't come back. I won't go back. However I read some of the other reviews. Instead of being nasty, with your responses. maybe just maybe take our comments seriously. We work hard. Certainly DO NOT want to pay for bad food AND bad service. then a rude comment from the owner. Terrible. I will tell everyone I know Not to go there. read more

My wife, friends, and I wanted to get some late breakfast after our conference and based on your Yelp reviews, Cross Keys Diner was our choice. We made a very good one. There's nothing really fancy about what I think is a converted house into a diner; just the boisterous crowd (ourselves included), great coffee and better food. We all didn't eat breakfast, so we were famished when he got in a bit after 11am. I checked in and they have signage that you will not be seated until everyone in your party is present. Once this was the case, we only waited maybe five minutes before being seated at the no frills table and chairs. The menu is a typical diner menu with a little bit of everything. We all wanted breakfast. My one friend had the French toast, my other had a French Toast "sandwich" which had eggs and home fries, and my wife and I had omelettes. Mine had hot sausage, peppers, fresh greens, and mozzarella to go with the three eggs. The home fries were nice and crispy. All of the comfort food put us into comfort comas. The coffee was nice and hot, and we wolfed the food down quickly. Service was friendly and fast. Parking is free off to the side in their own lot. Seems like a lot of regulars come here. Prices were reasonable. $80 including a hefty tip for four meals and three coffees. read more

Cross Keys Diner - Vegetable and cheese egg white omelette, potatoes whole wheat toast, and a side of buttermilk pancakes - Diners Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Great breakfast! Service a bit disappointing (had to find server to get her attention on an item added to my bill - when we ordered, told my companion she could substitute cole slaw for potatatoes, but it ended up being a $4.50 up charge after a 50 cent "credit" for "no potatoes" - much less than the side order price if ordered a-la-cart). Wish she would have been up front about when a substitution requires an upcharge when we ordered. read more

My last visit to Crosskeys.... Sure, they can be creative but inconsistent. They are busy, often rude. If you complain about a poorly made dish, you are dismissed with a shrug. Today's experience is unacceptable. We left an electronic cell phone accessory on the table. Returning a few minutes later staff said can't find it. Then a dishwasher discovered the device and its 4 inch by 3 inch box was now in the dishwasher. Returned soaked and broken, the response was it's not our responsibility. If they are that careless in the kitchen what happens to your food. BTW I pointed out there were no bananas in my banana pancakes and blueberries thrown on top. I was told that's how it's done and my objection was ignored. If you want careless, rude, rushed service with no interest in customer satisfaction, this is the place to go. read more

Today was my first and certainly not my last visit to the Cross Keys Diner. Ordered a short stack of cornmeal buttermilk pancakes which were the full size of the plate, fluffy tender and delicious. My compliments to the chef who prepared my omelet. The eggs were perfectly cooked (not a speck of brown) and filled with a creative combination of cheese, shitake mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, leeks and ham. Looking forward to tasting other interesting options in the future. read more

I went here around 8:30 on a Sunday. It was half full when I arrived, but full when I left. Another review said there isn't much seating -- I think they were at the wrong restaurant. There are around 15 tables and at least 12 seats at the counter. I wasn't impressed with the menu or the food. Menu was super basic -- eggs, meat and toast in various combinations. Frustrated at the lack of creativity, I ordered the eggs any style, where you choose the number of eggs and it comes with home fries and toast. I chose wheat toast and it was the best part of the meal. The eggs were not seasoned, so I had to add salt and pepper myself. The potatoes were salty they were almost inedible. I would just order the toast if I ever came back here. read more

Always a good meal, always friendly and they have the best pancakes I've ever eaten. Service is always fast,friendly.

Love it here! The pancakes and French toast are amazing. The service is always friendly. Lots of regulars and locals who will chat with you if you show up alone. I usually bring my guests from out of town in for breakfast at least once and it always goes over well. They're fast and efficient and friendly. Sometimes I order a breakfast combo with a side of chili so I can smother my eggs and hashbrowns and I'd highly recommend that. Imagine telling a diner their food is greasy, or carby. lol. No one is forcing you to order anything. They have plenty of protein options. I guess you're mad that pigs are fat? Idk. read more

We were on our way to Bucks County Biscotti and, after reading the reviews, decided to stop here for breakfast . Almost every table was occupied, but we got seated immediately. The restaurant is small, but is far from being cramped. All of the walls are white while the floor has a classic black-and-white-square pattern. The specials board is a large chalkboard that's situated against the back wall and that wall is also where counter seating can be found. There are a few tables at the front, but you'll most likely be sat in the back due to the back area having more tables. Daughter ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict Special, which two poached eggs, Canadian bacon, Hollandaise and toasted English muffin, and thought it was tasty and it was nicely done. There were so much potatoes left over that we had enough for breakfast the next day. Next, Hubs ordered the Combo platter, which is short stack of pancakes or French toast with two eggs any style and choice of ham, bacon, sausage, pork roll or scrapple. He ordered his eggs over easy with French toast and a side of scrapple. The eggs were ok. He liked dipping his eggs with French toast and thought it was nice. He's also a closet eater of scrapple, so he and daughter loved it. The weird thing about his order was that every item in his order were served on a different plate. I can't explain that. I ordered a short stack of buttermilk blueberry pancakes and thought it was pretty good. There were a lot of flies in the diner, to the point of annoyance. There's a big parking lot with plenty of parking space. Service was quick and friendly. Will probably return if I'm ever passing by to get some more biscottis. read more

We keep going back week after week, and Cross Keys Diner NEVER fails to disappoint! I finally had the discipline to take a picture of that truly amazing Benedict before diving into it head-first. And I reiterate the perfectly seasoned potatoes are on-point. The only hesitation I have in writing such a positive review is that it could cause more people to come here and hinder my ability to get a table! In the past few weeks, I've also enjoyed an omelette - let me tell you... FULLY packed with ingredients (bacon and Swiss in my case) all blanketed is the fluffiest eggs ever! I'm not exaggerating. Seven days a week, rotating daily specials... you have to visit Cross Keys Diner! The consistency is unrivaled. read more

Cross Keys Diner - Classic Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

My party of 5 walked in a couple minutes after 1pm and when we sat down we were immediately berated with "Are you ready to order?" about 6 times in 5 minutes. We understood that they do close at 2pm, but being rushed and rushed to pick something from a menu we had never seen before was an extremely stressful experience. Food arrived pretty quickly which was nice. My friend who ordered the chicken salad salad asked for no peppers, but it came with them anyway. My friend ended up picking the peppers out of her salad, and she said it was pretty bland. My friends who ordered omelettes really enjoyed their food and would come back again. Aaron described the french toast as acceptable: a little bit overcooked, one bite tasted off but acceptable. The eggs benedict was solid, I quite liked the hollandaise sauce. The poached eggs themselves were a tad overcooked but acceptable. My homefries were unevenly cooked, which made me a little sad. The waitress never returned to the table after dropping off food so we didn't have the opportunity to give feedback on the food and/or send it back. The last time we saw her she dropped off what we assumed was the check, but it was one of the most confusing pieces of paper we'd ever read. It was most likely the greasy paper the waitress wrote on to take our order? The numbers weren't related to the actual price of the entire meal. We were fine paying for the food we got, but it would be nice to see the total ahead of time. Didn't expect to use calculators in the car to see if we were ripped off or not when we went out to breakfast this morning. read more

OUT TO LUNCH with some friends last week, an enthusiastic recommendation was made for "Cross Keys Diner" in Doylestown. Well, not to be unfed for very long, we made our way out to the Diner in an older house off Route 313. After a brief wait, we were seated in a busy, well worn dining room. The restaurant is only open for breakfast & lunch, so the menu was full of omelette and egg plate suggestions along with a chalkboard list of daily specials. It all looked good, and I ordered a Veggie Omelette. It was well packed with fresh and sauteed vegetables, along with a side of nicely done home fries and choice of toast. They even offered fresh Pumpernickel! My wife had a Country Scramble, which featured a mix of ham, onions, and potatoes. Service was cordial, with a staff of young women & men who appeared to enjoy their work. An excellent meal in an enjoyable, kitschy environment. read more

Solid. Great omelets, that's for sure. Highly recommend. An institution of Doylestown.

Excellent breakfast with very friendly and attentive service. This is definitely a locals go to and I'm glad we found it. I had a great omelet which was perfectly cooked with nice crispy potatoes, rye toast, and coffee. Just what I needed this morning. I was dining with my 3 boys and they loved the pancakes (super fluffy) and hot chocolate with whipped cream. Tables were turning over quickly, all COVID protocols are being followed, and additional seating has been set up outside under a tent. Overall great experience! read more

We stumbled across this local gem by happenstance in the scenic way to the flea market in Quakertown. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table amidst the sounds of happy diners. It was early afternoon so we selected breakfast. I ordered Kathleen's Omelet and enjoyed every bite. My wife ordered the whitefish platter and was also pleased. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. It felt like the gold old days of great friendly diners. Nothing fancy, just good food well prepared and served by very nice folks. Very comfortable atmosphere. We might very well go out of our way to come back here again. read more
