By far one of the best places for affordability.Breakfast special is $9.95 for 2 pancakes or french toast, 2 sausagea, 2 bacon, & 2 eggs anyway! Servers are attentive & courteous. Very good Delmonico Steak anytime & cooked as requested! Casual dining setting. read more

Nice quiet diner even with a lot of people. Staff continuously walking around to make sure your coffee was full and full of pleasantries. I had the French Toast and my husband had the pancakes, both were made just right. Looks like homemade food and felt very homey. Open 6AM-2PM Mon-Sat and 7AM-2PM on Sun. Our bill was $25 for two meals with sides and beverages. More than reasonable, we will stop again later this week with our adult kids to get the weekday special. Seating had wooden booths, and tables with chairs. They accepted tap so my husband was happy. read more

Staff could be more attentive and efficient but the omelette was fantastic. I didn't like the potatoes, huge pieces leading to uneven cooking and no seasoning. read more

You can't go wrong with breakfast at Guilday's. Classic, consistent, quality, old school feel. Speedy service. All at a great value. And about that menu... while sometimes I enjoy reading through a six page diner menu, there's something to be said for a smallish menu - when a place sticks to the classics and does them right! I'll take quality over quantity all day long. Time for the bill... We had two coffees and two 2 egg breakfast platters for $17. A road trip breakfast at McDonald's has cost us that much! Add the perfectly cooked scrapple to the mix and that's a recipe for a great way to start any day! read more

Last Monday first time there plain down home look. The food was great tasting breakfast is served all day they close at 2:00pm great service will go back. read more

Truly a locals hangout and a hidden gem. Went with a large group, service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Food was delicious and very affordable. Loved the vibe. Check it out! There's a reason why the parking lot is full. read more

Food is mediocre, fairly ok. The interior environment needs a lot of upgrades. The service is nice but looks like everything is stuck decades ago read more

This a solid breakfast / lunch diner. I had corn beef hash with over easy eggs and rye toast. The hash was excellent- a large portion that was crispy and flavorful. The eggs were cooked correctly. This was my first visit, I will return to try one of their omelettes. read more

Love the creamed chipped beef. I'd recommend you go and taste it. All three of use had a great breakfast here. read more

This place was pretty good. We stopped in for a quick breakfast recently. I had an omelet as usual and I don't recall what my old man had. It was good typical diner style food. Seems to have been around a while - pretty sure it's popular with the local crowd. Service was good as well. We may stop by again sometime. read more

Customer Service is the worst! One of the owners spoke real rude and nasty before I could express my complaint. It's not my fault that you lost your kitchen staff and maybe it's because of your poor behavior. You still owe it to the customer to hear them out since they waited patiently for their food. You're paying customers should not have to endure your frustration because you can't run your establishment. read more

First time here. Very busy. Server was nice and informative. Affordable eats and simple breakfast options with decent portions. I'd come again read more

Food: I ordered breakfast. Scrapple, home fried, eggs and toast When the scrapple arrived it tasted like fish . I've never had a pig that spent it's time in fishing. Anyway, I called the waitress over (fortunately not my daughter-in-law) and let her know that my scrapple had been cooked in a deep fryer (don't places put scrapple on the griddle any more) and it tasted like fish so (1) the fish fryer is definitely past due for an oil change; and I would appreciate it if they could bring me a piece of scrapple cooked on the griddle. She walked by a couple minutes later slapped our bill on the table and poof she was gone. I won't be back read more

Love this place!! Old time feel and great breakfast! When I come to se family this is a must on my visit

The food was honestly delicious and place was clean. The only reason I'm deducting 2 stars is due to the service. My father and I have been here in the past and we always had great service. This time we went there and there were new people (new to us) as we haven't been here in so long and the waitress was bad. The main thing that was truly disgusting was when we asked for napkins she went off a dirty table and got what looked like to her 2 pieces of napkins. I had to ask the Spanish cleaning lady for fresh napkins. Why would you give us napkins from a table who left? We had to ask for refills, gave us dirty menus, we waited for her and when we needed the check she was no where to be found. We waited around and nothing we had to get up ask the cashier for our check, paid and left. Didn't get her name but truly miss the old waitresses that use to work there. read more

It's basic breakfast food. Great prices in these crazy times where meal prices have skyrocketed

AWESOME SAUCE the vibe there is so awesome. The menu has anything everything you could desire or want and walk away. Very very happy.

Popular breakfast spot, great food and service, diner type vibes-seat yourself but they attend to you quickly, only open for breakfast/lunch! read more

Really good breakfast place. The waffles are fluffy and delicious. Wish the side of fruit was local seasonal fruit. My dad got eggs with a side of hash and he said both were great. My friend that was with us had a great meal as well - he got a breakfast sandwich and also said the eggs in it were perfect. Will definitely be back. read more

Great for a quick, hot breakfast. Although they were short staffed, the service was quick and friendly!

One of my favorite places for breakfast. Service is good and breakfast comes out great every single time.

Tasty food. Reasonable prices. Very good service. Only one complaint is that the steak was not seasoned. But it was tender and I finished it. :) read more

Sat at the counter with a couple friends before I headed out of Delaware. Last time I ate at Guilday's, I got an omelette or something; this time, I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich off the specials menu. Priced at $4, I kept my expectations moderate. And since it was lunchtime, I ordered a Miller Lite. The bottle they gave me was dated 2013, and featured an outdated label. When I popped the cap, there was rust on the rim. Guess people don't order these too often, but it was two bucks so whatever. The BBQ pork sandwich wasn't great. It was loaded with meat, but that meat was average at best. The barbeque sauce was light and flavorless. My lunch companions enjoyed their meals, and I ate as much as I wanted. Overall, not too bad. Super cheap eats, comfort food, Southern blah blah blah. If you're eating here, you know what you're getting yourself in to. I'd recommend not straying too far from the breakfast offerings; they haven't quite mastered the pork sandwich yet. read more

I don't get over to that part of the county much but I wish I did. Loved this place for years... Prices right and the scrapple is always fried to perfection! The staff is prompt and friendly. read more

Was starving for breakfast and found this gem in Yelp. I knew I was close to Jersey when I saw the whole section on the menu for breakfast hoagies. I had to have one! I ordered it with bacon, cheese, and a medium egg. My friend had the polish sausage and egg. I had a small OJ and should have ordered a large. The place was really full and customers were all types of people. Truck drivers, travelers, elderly couples, friends meeting up, and cute kids. OMG!!! My egg hoagie was delicious. While eating it I told my friend, "don't talk to me now." Lol. With only four ingredients, every ingredient has to be perfect. And they were. The egg was cooked exactly medium and the yolk dripped out of the sandwich. The bacon was crispy and salty. The cheese was flavorful and melted into the hoagie. The "roll" was softer than I was expecting but complimented the other three ingredients perfectly. Wow. I am putting this place in my regular rotation when driving North. It is worth the short detour off I-95. read more

GF and I both ordered the same thing: the special with two eggs (prepared how you like), two strips of bacon, two sausage links, and two pancakes. The GF also got an order of home fries and beef hash. I also ordered a large milk. First of all, at least two other families came in after we did and received their food before we did and they didn't appear to be smaller orders than ours. When we finally DID receive our food it was cold. My milk had a few pieces of dust floating around on the surface that I opted to remove with a piece of napkin. The home fries and beef hash sucked. The pancakes were okay and so was the bacon and sausage. read more

Love it. Cheap and fast. Great customer service. Nice little family spot with great food and prices. Friendly customers as well

Extremely poor service unless you are a regular. I do not recommend for someone just stopping by. Keri was terrible. I order a meal and sat for over 30 minutes and my food never came out. Mean while the regulars who showed up after me placed their orders and got their meals. I eventually got up and left. Keri never came by after I placed my order to check on me. I will not be going back. FYI I was sitting at the counter. Hard to miss me. read more

Really quaint place. Basic breakfast at a really fair price. Employees very cordial and friendly.

Walked in. Floor dirty. Workers throwing stuff around playfully. No one spoke or tried to take my order. Someone in the kitchen was yelling need to cleanup. I would not recommend such an experience to an enemy. Save you money gas and time. read more

I've been to this diner a few times because it's very near my home. The food is quite good, especially creamed chipped beef, sandwiches, and breakfast platters. I only recommend it as a take out establishment because much of the clientele can make some customers feel unwelcome. read more

They do breakfest..A value gem amongst the pretenders. Don't think to go late as they close at 3pm. When it comes to a value packed great meal these guys are hard to beat. As about the breakfest special if you arrive before 10am read more

This fixture in the Delaware breakfast scene is truly a gem. In a world where brunch culture reigns supreme, Guilday's provides that classic diner feel and a menu to fit. You aren't going to find some crazy French toast or crazy breakfast burgers here, which is just fine by me. The service is exactly what's you expect from an establishment like this, a server who is motherly and loving. All in all if you want a no nonsense breakfast and you're around the area, stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

Had brunch here on Saturday. Saw some good reviews on yelp and decided to drive here and give it a try. There were many dining in but finding a seat was fairly easy. Things are cheap on the menu. Got the creamed chipped beef on toast and the waffle. The waffle was definitely a surprise. The saltiness in the mix was right on point and the texture was great. The creamed beef was good too. Not too salty but definitely stopped my hunger right away. The coffee was okay. Good price, friendly staff and was a very filling brunch. They have parking spots outside so that wasn't a problem. read more

I had breakfast here on a Wednesday and the food was great. I'm a fan of chipped beef gravy and theirs was excellent. Always a good sign to see retirees and work trucks and vans there for breakfast. Nothing fancy but good food. They have a counter and that is where I ate. Counters are great when you are eating alone. Nice service. I will come back here. read more

A small local place with a parking lot that is always packed. This is a down home dinner nothing fancy so do not expect it. Great French toast and breakfast fare. The hoagies are excellent too. They open early for breakfast and close after lunch. read more

Customer Service is nonexistent. I walked in with about 4 other tables to be seated and no one spoke to us. I had to ask the woman who was staring at her screen at the receptionist table and she seemed annoyed and said it was seat yourself. We finally found a spot at the counter and then noticed plates upon plates of food being stacked on top of each other at the serving pass. There were two waitresses at the counter and neither one even looked at us or acknowledged our presence. When I asked if we could get a menu she seemed too busy. Finally someone came over and I explained we were leaving. I will not give money to a business that does not want it. read more

One of the few remaining diner-like restaurants, this place has limited hours but a diverse menu. Best breakfasts available!

What's not to love?? It's exactly what I've been looking for: A diner that does breakfast perfectly and has a homey feel. Pros: -- Cheap, we had 2 eggs, 2 hotcakes, 2 sausage, 2 bacon for $5.75!!!! -- Diner like options -- Fantastic service -- Eggs over medium, done perfectly! -- DELICIOUS and LARGE pancakes Con: NONE! read more
