Food is good. Service unreliable but better at breakfast than dinner. Something often missing or wrong on order. No substitutions. Bill often wrong with double charges and up charges that are higher then posted but they will fix it if you catch it. Seems mistakes on bill happen a bit too often to be "an honest mistake" to me. Anyone else catch this? read more

Great food, fast service! Come here all the time for breakfast. It's inexpensive but really good breakfast food. Nothing fancy just good food. The eggs benedict is great. Amazing French toast. Only down side is there is no booze but it's great for a hangover meal! You can get a bunch of food. There typically is a wait on the weekends but it goes fast! Deff a good spot for a no frills, diner! read more

It's a solid 3.5. Doesn't blow you away or anything but it's good for a local diner. We each got a different omelette and homefries - both were relatively mediocre but better than Bob's Diner down the street. The coffee was probably the worst part of the meal. Tasted awful - not sure if it was a fluke but we barely sipped them. It's really inexpensive if you need a quick bite. read more

Located near Roxborough High School I stumbled upon this gem upon while wating it out while my son took a Saturday SAT Subject Test. The restaurant is clean. The atmosphere is a traditional country style diner. Service was fast and friendly. Dion and the Belmonts on the speaker. When I ordered a banana pancake I asked if the fruit would be on top or inside. The waitress replied "Any way you like it." Pancakes, Canadian bacon, nova omelette, coffee, and hash browns and wheat toast were all served hot and delicious! Will be back again when my son takes the ACT exam in the fall! read more

I arrived at Daiva's for a late breakfast. When I entered I noticed that the waiter was sweeping the floor. Okay - no one sitting on that side (parking lot side) However, after I began eating on the Germantown Avenue side, (the food was OK). one of the waiters moved the tables that were to my right and he and the waitress BEGAN TO SWEEP THE FLOOR!!! Dust was flying and I asked why they could not wait until the customers (total 9) were finished eating. His response was that the owner insisted that they do it two to three times per day. read more

One of my favorite spots. Try the fish and grits or the Daiva's burger with crabmeat. Both are delicious !!

Just don't. Ordered french fries with my meal, got home fries. Never got a bagel or toast ( which was supposed to come with an omelette ) even after reminding the server THREE times for them, waiting about 15 minutes in total which never showed up. My coffee and water were never filled once. But the server had plenty of time to show the OWNER a lot of cool stuff on her phone. If you like not getting what you ordered and less than tentative serving staff, this place is made for you. read more

Efficient service and exquisite food! Family friendly as well. This is the best breakfast spot in all of Roxborough/Manayunk!

Recently gave this place another try after a long time and I absolutely loved it! The food was delicious for all at my table and the service was the best I've had in a while. The server made sure we were enjoying our breakfast out and kept the coffee refills coming. Honestly wish I didn't wait so long to try it again. read more

Oh man. Just left this joint and boy am I disappointed and only comfortably full, not stuffed. When we walked in there was already a wait. Which Im fine with, I actually like to see that at diners and such. wait was only about 10-14 minutes. Our food took quite a bit to come out. Maybe 20 min. In that time was able to observe how efficient the busser amd hostess were but also noticed how our waitress spilled the pitcher of water on the table next to us. She was filling someones water straight onto the table and I guess it all came pouring out onto the table and some on his plate of food. I ordered the breakfast combo, with side creamed chip beef. My friend ordered breakfast combo as well. When our food finally came out, I couldn't believe my eggs looked the way they did. I wanted scrambled eggs but got old yellow rubber on my plate. So that was a bust. There was probably 1/2 potato on my plate. The French Toast wasnt bad, either was the creamed chip beef. It was very basic, hard to go wrong on that. My friends pancakes were nice size. But that didn't make up for the lack of potatoes and eggs on my plate. The waitress didnt seem very aware. My experience here probably wont bring me back. Came here because we were in the area, but i would rather drive a little further to go somewhere else. read more

This diner is clean and the food is good. You can't go wrong with eggs, bacon, and home fries. Their crab cakes are excellent as is the Roasted Scallop Salad (which has disappeared from the menu but I am hoping for it to make a comeback). Some changes they need to make include putting the crab cake sandwich on a better roll, not overcooking the tasty calamari, and bringing back that awesome balsamic vinaigrette. Also, they need to be sure they have a variety of pies on hand at all times...not cakes...pies...as every diner should. read more

This review is for BREAKFAST ONLY - frankly not a big fan of lunch here, never been for dinner, but BREAKFAST is great! This restaurant, in a former Pizza Hut, is the only really good spot on Ridge Avenue for breakfast. It is always clean, large enough that you will not have to wait long or outside, has efficient staff, is priced fairly, and has a menu varied enough to please anyone. Again, this is breakfast only! Food highlights for me center around the omelettes. now they have the traditional bacon-cheese or western, and those are good, but the Maryland Crab, the Philly Cheesesteak, and the Lox and Onion stand out as excellent. Ask for your potatoes well-done though, as occasionally they can be not quite cooked all the way. Other excellent options include the horrifically named Cholesterol Builder (creamed chip beef with toast, eggs, potatoes) and the croissant sandwich. You cannot go wrong with the pancakes either - not too heavy, not too sweet...but packaged syrup? Bring your own. The only failure on the breakfast menu is the Corned Beef Casserole. It's straight from the can and tastes like it. If you cannot do corn beef hash right, please don't do it at all...but please do it Daiva! Prices are a touch on the high side, but not outrageous. More attention could be paid to the coffee cups for us caffeine addicts, but the servers are all awesome, the pace is fast (you won't waste your morning waiting for breakfast), and anything not up to par is quickly fixed. BEST BREAKFAST ON RIDGE AVENUE! read more

Best breakfast place on Ridge Avenue in Roxborough currently. Better than Bob's Diner and Taylor's Cafe. I had the Breakfast Combo a number of times. It is very good. I can only speak for breakfast, not for lunch or dinner. The interior is what it is, it is a former Pizza Hut, I can live with that... Open at 6am on weekends, 7am during the week. Recommended. read more

Daiva's Grille - Diners Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I went here for breakfast with my boyfriend the other weekend and it was pretty good. The place is well laid out, has a decent sized parking lot, and is very clean. The menu seemed kinda boring to me compared to other fancier, breakfast places. But, they had the basics. I got french toast and it was good. I would never come to a diner for anything besides breakfast food because that's usually what they're best at. The prices were pretty reasonable here. It was about $20 for both of us. The service here was definitely above average for a diner. Our waitress was great. Overall, I enjoyed it here and I will probably end up coming back for breakfast sometime. read more

Me and my friends come here every time we're in town. This diner has the best coffee to sit and talk over. The food is always fresh & hot and the waitstaff is one of the best around. read more

Daiva's Grille - Eggs Classic under $5. I get it every time! - Diners Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food not good, service not great. Will not be coming back. Still searching for a good diner in the are.

Someone told me that Daiva's food was delicious and that I should check it out. I tried it for dinner and the food was good but I don't think it met the hype that I was expecting. The food was good that is true but I think that it was overpriced for just average diner food and the service was very slow. Our server was friendly and got our order right but it took a very long time to get glasses of water and our bill. However, the food came out within only ten minutes of ordering so the kitchen is fast! I ordered a chicken cheese steak and french fries. I was charged and extra $1.00 for american cheese on the steak. Strange because if I didn't ask for cheese I would have just got chicken in a roll. It was also $1.75 for fries instead of chips. I recommend the french fries because they were great! My boyfriend got a buffalo chicken wrap and it was very good. If you are in the mood for typical diner food this is your spot. read more

Poor customer service. Waitress decided to take orders and put other patrons ahead of us. After about 15 minutes of waiting at my table and talking to no one , I decided to walk out. Very unprofessional. I was really looking forward to this place, because I live close by. Too bad. read more

Great local diner with comfortable feel! Awesome place to go for breakfast on the weekend. Really good comfort food and of course great coffee. In particular I enjoyed the chipped beef and pancake breakfast combos. Exactly what I needed the morning after a night out in Manayunk. Atmosphere is a bit dated but comfortable. I love that it's clearly an old Pizza Hut that has been turned into a diner. Gives it some character. read more

Looks like an everyday normal diner from the outside, but food is actually higher quality than what you would think this diner would offer. Friendly servers, not-watered down coffee, and clean plates. read more

The food is typical diner food, nothing spectacular. I did however enjoy the chipped beef which had long slices of beef in it. Just recently moved to the area so haven't been able to compare with other places yet, but this will most likely be my go to diner for a while. read more

Pretty good diner. We went here for breakfast. Coffee is bottomless and diner quality. The food and service were both fast which is great on the weekends! Especially liked the breakfast potatoes but that might have just been my hangover. Only bad part was that our server was the sweatiest man in the world! He kept wiping his forehead and touching our drinks. Kinda gross.... read more

The food is good but sometimes inconsistent. The servers are always friendly. The hours can be a little odd so check before you go. Overall it's a clean diner and my family is always satisfied. read more

This is our go to weekend stop. Comfortable. friendly faces. clean. great menu. lots of choices. love the waffles and omelets, and cooked to your preference. take is available, not a huge place but nice. read more

I been to this place for breakfast around Christmas time last year and my experience was a very good one. The wait time wasn't long at all. The customer service was great,the atmosphere was pleasant with a diverse crowd of people and I really enjoyed the food. Although I didn't have lunch there.I would definitely recommend Daiva's Grille as a place to visit for breakfast. I only gave it four stars becasue I didn't try the lunch there. read more

Daiva charges extra for turkey products and does not allow substitutions. Very odd seeing as though the menu items are very basic and should be customizable like every other establishment. read more

Last time here. They can never handle the volume of people. Eggs and bagels how hard is it? No coffee refills, practically forgotten about.

My new favorite breakfast spot! Very affordable and great service. Great menu and food!

The quality of the service was quick and courteous. My friend and I went on a Sunday for lunch and it was packed but we were seated promptly. We got our food ordered and the wait was about 20-25 minutes. The food was great and the price was inexpensive. We both got a burger which costs $6 and it was delicious. The fries were hot and crispy with the perfect amount of salt and the burger was juicy with a soft, nicely toasted bun. I'm very happy with my experience at Daiva's. I will definitely be returning in the future. The parking outside was a little bit challenging to maneuver but the food was worth it. read more

MY first time there 05/04/13 for lunch and had the fish and chips, it was very good the F,F were exceptional they had been cooked in clean Oil ; The fish wedges were I,Q F. prepared in a batter for the price that was OK. would like to have fresh fish on Friday and house breading or batter, were offered Soup but had salad instead and that was a mistake for the greens were Ice burg lettuce and that's not worth paying for when it comes to Salad as to my taste . the place seems to be very clean, the flat wear was clean. the Service was very good . my server was Mona and she was on the Ball,the Hostess was also very attentive to my needs, Thank you I will return . CHEF retired La's Vegas . read more

Fiancés breakfast was good according to her (French toast, bacon and eggs). My chicken parm sandwich on the other hand was terrible. Straight to the trash can after the second bite. Either the sauce or the chicken had gone bad. Hard pass on this place in the future. read more

Very disappointed! Arrived an hour before they closed and was told all they would serve is sandwiches. And yet, on their menu it clearly states all day breakfast! Epic fail! Walked out, never tried the food. Never going back again. Change your times if you are not prepared to do business. read more

Daiva's has an elaborate fence and wheel chair ramp on the side facing Ridge Ave. The only problem is that there is no gate to get in!! Me and a few men waiting for the bus kept on pushing at it to see if it was hidden. Nope. Entrance was around back. What a waste of time. I do not think that the owner wants frustrated customers, or worse yet, customers who walk away without going around back. They need a sign. I went there around 5:15ish and the place was pretty much empty. I didn't see any early bird specials in the menu. No, I am not a senior, but that would have the place full, at least. Ordered a lemonade, french onion soup and an omlette with crab meat, home fries and toast. The soup was very good, but I did notice that all the bread in the crock was a uniform cube, like it came out of a crouton box. When I got the soup, waitress asked me if I wanted another lemonade or water (which was provided in the first place). I ordered one. Now to the omlette...it came out flat as a crepe. I asked the waitress why it wasn't fluffy (i.e like an omlette). SHe said they made it natural with no milk. What? Seriously? I ordered crab, do I look like a vegetarian? Omlette was irritatingly flat and undersized. For the price, they could use more than 3 eggs. It was undersized with some gloppy hollandaise plastic sauce they only added moisture to the dry egg, and no flavor. The man behind me, with a different server said he didn't want onions in his has browns. Server said they didn't add anything to the hash browns cause they were served natural. My hash browns could have used some dag-gon fried onions. All this natural stuff just seems like the owner doesn't want to spend money on product. How much does an onion cost, and egg? Waitress disappeared most of the time. Now for the lovely hand-written bill I got. It was scribbled all over and things were not labeled. Oh, EXCEPT the fact they charge for each serving of lemonade I refilled. I was like, you have got to be kidding. Then the hostess pulled out the menu, and in small print it says this. I hadn't even had the chance to look at a menu before ordering the lemonade. If there is an up-charge, they NEED to tell people! The food is overpriced for the neighborhood and by diner standards. There is also a lovely freezer unit in the dining room across from me that squealed every 5 minutes when staff opened and closed it. Get some WD-40. It was really annoying. The only good thing besides the soup, I found was the male waiter. Of course, he wasn't MY waiter. He knew the menu, was friendly with the guests and seemed like an asset any restaurant would love. Not this place. read more

This is my absolute favorite spot in NW philly to get breakfast. You don't need to decide between bacon and sausage when you order the breakfast combo, so extra points for that. read more

Breakfast Burrito is very good. I hardly ever like the homefries served at diners but i must say I enjoyed themhere. Also try the amazing french toast. Its a behemoth of flavors. The portions are ample. I would definitely go back to Daivas. read more

A very nice, clean diner with good food. The decor is up to date and everything is clean, which is sometimes hard to find in a diner. The food is nothing fancy, but it's good and the prices are good. The staff was attentive and nice, despite a huge crowd in the place. I wasn't a fan of the previous establishment in this location, but I'll go back to Daiva's again. read more

One of my wifes and I favorite places for breakfast and lunch, I used to like the chipped beef on toast, I ordered that last week, my wife ordered the same, after cutting up the toast and mixing it it with the chipped beef it was apparent we got much more toast then chipped beef, very disappointing!! read more

I meet a friend from where I used to work. Tonight we decided to go to Daiva's. It was awful. The server brought us half our meal. Then went to get our toast. My friend got an omelet so no toast was no big deal. I got eggs. I was waiting for the toast to eat my eggs. And waited & waited. For 12 minutes the 2 servers stood at the front. Still no toast. By the time the "toast " was brought to the table, it had never been toasted. Plus my eggs were cold. It seems like the last few times we've been in there it's gotten worse. It was not busy when we got there. They only have 3 other tables. Even when we left there were 6 tables. Not the way to stay in business read more

Service here is always very quick and friendly, and the breakfast is always the perfect weekend meal. The coffee here is what sets it over the edge; something about it is just SO incredible. Normally I'd never recommend a place on it's coffee alone, but this is better than anything I've had before. I wouldn't go anywhere else besides Bob's in roxborough for breakfast. read more

Excellent breakfast with great prices and good service! Must try the Belgian Waffles with strawberries and whip cream. The french toast is amazing too! Food is WAY BETTER THAN LeBus and it cost half the price. Oh and Breakfast is served all day! I can not wait to go back and try some of the dishes on their dinner menu. This is not your average diner! The food is fresh and leans toward being more upscale. I highly suggest you try Daiva's. The food is incredible and prices are even better. Oh and it beats dealing with the nonsense on Main St. read more
