Stopped in mid- morning on a Saturday of a holiday weekend. There was a pretty good crowd inside and a very large party in the side dining room. I was made aware of the breakfast buffet they over on weekends. Checked it out and decided to have a go of it. It featured, scrambled eggs, their country omelette ( very good) two styles of breakfast potatoes home fries and hash browns, sausage links (were yummy), bacon, scrapple, biscuits, sausage gravy, creamed chopped beef, pancakes, French toast and fresh fruit salad. Waitress also mentioned that if I wanted toast or eggs cooked differently to let her know. My breakfast companion had the country omelette off the menu based on what it looked like on the Buffet. It was very tasty with chopped bacon sausage, ham, green peppers, onions, tomatoes and cheese. She truly enjoyed it! Food on buffet table were all very hot and very often refilled. I enjoyed the country omelette scramble and the sausage links the most. The sausage gravy was tasty as well. Fruit was fresh and was very tasty as well. I was hungry so this was very satisfying I also had some French toast along with the sampler plate shown. Very good coffee which I had served over ice! One thing - do not order water! It was so foul tasting - not the fault of the establishment. Will hit up again when visiting the Farmers Market downtown. read more

Taste. Value. Specials. Variety. Service. That's my criteria for a diner. And that's what you get at the Lewes Diner for a very reasonable price, even in summer in a resort town. Takeout has always been accurate and well packaged. I am shocked this place isn't mobbed all the time. Frankly, I've only recently been visiting here lately while My sister's been in a local hospital so I may be coming at off hours. And there is something here you don't see all that often - a diner in Delaware with a full bar. You're not going to find top notch liquors here but their full bar is adequate to satisfy most people's needs. Plenty of parking! On Sundays, they have a breakfast buffet for $14.99. read more

Lewes Diner & Pizzeria - Grilled cheese with tomato and bacon lunch special. - Diners Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Very close to Beebe Medical Center. Has full bar. Wonderful staff. Food is delicious, plentiful, and not greasy. My favorite is green pepper and onion omelet...huge. Breakfast Buffet in weekends. Hubby loved that! Very popular and near the beach. read more

Pretty awful service. Our waitress dropped off our food and never came back. We sat around for about 30 minutes and she never came back. We eventually had to get up and find a random waitress to give us our check. Still never saw our waitress. Pretty disappointing since it was our first time there. Also the meal was pretty expensive. For a waffle and French toast and some sides it was $37 read more

One and done. I should have paid the tab and walked out. Nothing tasted like what they said it was. Each item had some "off" taste about it except the baked potato. Even the Mac & cheese which looked great tasted off. Save your money and go to The Nook. It's far better. read more

The menu isn't bad, and the fishbus fresh. The ambiance is 50's wood paneling. Wait staff is adequate. They have a bar, so I asked for a scotch on the rocks. SERVER: "We don't have any scotch, just scotch whiskey." ME: "That's fine. I'll have a scotch whiskey, on the rocks." ......shortly..... I received a nice glass of CANADIAN whiskey. 'Nuff said. read more

We wanted to eat at a diner while in Lewes so we tried the Lewes Diner and Pizzeria. The food was really good! The waitress was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Our service was excellent and the staff help each other so customers get plenty of attention. The food was plentiful but quality was below average for diner fare. Mashed potatoes, stuffing and Turkey gravy were tasteless and the tomatoes in my Greek salad were overripe. Turkey itself was good and well cooked. The shepherds pie was " blah". . The entree prices were good but our bar bill ($26 dollars for 4 bottles of domestic beer) seemed pricey for the place. read more

A treasure of a diner, Lynn Ash took good care of me. I wish I worked for Zagat haha From a Bethesda Md boy grew up with Tastee Diner has nothing on Lewes Diner Bar takes it over the top!! Enjoy this jewel Ray Geisler read more

Lewes Diner & Pizzeria - Breakfast Burrito with bacon, hash browns w onion Juice and coffee! Sever par none Lynn - Diners Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

10min to sit us down 20 min for the server to take our order She never came and asked how's everything! Even to get the bill she took forever The place was empty so there was no excuse. Food was very disappointing. read more

We did an order to go. It was fabulous. We did the chicken Parmesan and there was enough food for four people so we got a couple of meals out of it. Definitely recommend can't wait to go and eat in the restaurant. read more

Great food and service. Real nice folks. My go to place now. Consistently good with extensive menu selection.

This place was okay. Wasn't bad but wasn't anything to rave about aside from their reasonable prices. My husband and I ate there for $26 and we ordered the shrimp basket as an appetizer, I had the Greek salad with chicken and he had the breakfast burrito with sausage and shredded home fries. Everything tasted good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive as were the rest of the staff we interacted with. If you're hungry and are in the area looking for decent portions at a reasonable price, this place will do you good. The interior however is what made me give it a 3 out of 5. It's dated and a bit grungy. They definitely need to put some money into renovations and nothing crazy, just maybe take out the old carpet and update the bathrooms. They do have a full bar as well which isn't something you see every day at a family diner. It was different. They also have a breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays for $8.99 which might be pretty good. I heard a waitress telling another customer that if they wanted to try the buffet to come between 8am - 10am as it gets pretty crowded after that. I'm not sure how late the buffet runs until though. All in all the food and service was good but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. My husband and I happened to be in the area and decided to give it a try. Our bellies are full and so are our wallets so we aren't disappointed! read more

I'm happy we stopped here, and my son declared his lunch to be "the best meatball everrrrrrr"! I had the shrimp salad sandwich - simple and basic and just the way I like it. 10 out of 10. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs and gobbled it up. 10/10 My Mom had the BLT and said it was just right. Not fancy, no frills, just good simple food like it should be at a diner. Friendly service. 5 stars because it's exactly what it should be! read more

Wasn't the best diner food, but still good enough for me to return. I didn't feel like waiting at the Rehobeth diner so my two sons and myself gave it a shot. Nice service, quick, and clean. We'll be back. read more

Basic breakfast food & diner fare. And I LOVE their rice pudding. Wish they would offer some gluten free items & bread. read more

Lewes Diner & Pizzeria - today's "fresh fruit". Seriously? (Bruised/cracked grapes & canned pineapple tidbits). - Diners Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

It is located in the corner of a "B" class shopping center and quite honestly there food is "B" rated. The best thing on the menu is there breakfast. Their prices are low to reflect their menu. read more

The food is overpriced and low quality. Can't recommend. My meal was salty, gelatinous, and the soup was watery. Even for diner food, this was just inedible. read more

Food was terrible and I have been to some diners and this one is not good. Cheese for the fries was awful it's definitely canned cheese. The chicken tenders were cold still. Pancakes were decent compared to rest of the meal. Service was okay server was friendly-ish but didn't check in us much. Paid $50 for not that much of food. Could've gotten fast food the that price and it would've been way better. read more

New to area, love a good diner for breakfast. Waitress brings coffee... Husband "Coffee is not good" Me "tastes burnt" Waitress "Well, hasn't been sitting long, but I'll get new cups" Husband "Just bring water no ice" Waitress brings water with ice, followed by breakfast including lump of eggs resembling thick omelette. Husband "are these scrambled?" as he lifts the lump from the oil in which it is swimming Waitress "Yes, I can ask my husband (cook?) to scramble them more?" Husband "The butter isn't even melted on the toast" Waitress "Well i just took it out of the toaster" Husband "Never mind, my wife will just eat hers, looks ok" Me, after waitress leaves "can we just throw down $20 and leave?" Me, after tasting home fries swimming in oil "These taste like they were cooked in 6 month old oil, let's go" I am in my fifties-undoubtedly in my top 5 list of all time worst read more

Large portion breakfast is reasonable, server is quick and nice. Ample parking available, clean bathroom. If only they could shampoo their carpet..... read more

Lewes Diner & Pizzeria - Dining area/bar - Diners Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Ordered online at 5:05 called at 6:30 and told the driver is on the way. No food until 6:55 their food ok but don't offer delivery if it takes 2 hours from the time you order and your food is cold and you forget parts of the order although they did eventually bring it. It's not even season when you could blame it on traffic. We're 10 minutes from the restaurant. NEVER AGAIN. I'll support local restaurants that can handle delivery in a timely manner. read more

Very good breakfast. Crab omelet was delicious and a big portion. My mom and I had to share it. My girls ordered the Pancakes with fresh fruit. Everything was excellent. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. Definitely returning!! Highly recommend read more

Good breakfast. I have been there a couple of times. No wait time to sit down. Once the order was in, it didn't take long before the order arrived on my table. The prices were little high in proportion to the "B" atmosphere. Still, I definitely will go back there for breakfast. read more

Worst b'fast EVER! Service slow; server obviously not not happy to be there; food worse than awful. We both has Eggs Benedict. Sauce was terrible, eggs overcooked & ham had burnt spots. Both of us suffered "gastric distress " after eating. Should have realized it wasn't a good diner due to lack of cars in parking lot! Don't waste your time or money!! read more

This place was the most horrific place I've been to. We ordered bacon and it was RAW like not even cooked! Everyone that worked there was either having a hangover or was high . They all didn't know how to waitress and wasn't to nice either. They all was arguing and the only one that was nice and was doing her job was the hostess. The French toast was soggy and everything was very bland and no flavor! read more

Lewes Diner & Pizzeria - bacon on a plate - Diners Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

What a disappointment. We were on our way out of town after a week long vacation and wanted to fill our belly's before we hit the road. All of the breakfast joints in town were packed with people having the same idea we did. We went off the grid just a bit to hit up a local joint, Lewes Diner. The place was empty, which in hindsight was more of a red flag than relief. The only reason i did not give this place a single star is because it totally had the small town southern charm customer service you want in a dive diner. As nice as everyone was though, they had no idea how to actually work at a diner. We got no silverware, food took forever, our simple orders were prepared wrong, bathrooms were disgusting, coffee tasted like cleaner, the food was bland and it was all way over priced! Stay far away read more

We've ordered twice from here. The first order was great but we next ordered pasta dishes. They were both swimming in a sea of cream. We took a few bites and were too grossed out to continue. Hoping I don't have to go to bed early, given how bad I feel right now... read more

The meal was terrible/ not fresh and it was cold/ (the waitress was not wearing a mask when she spoke to me..)she said :"the owner was off on mondays and that a dishwasher was cooking"..When i asked to speak to a manager or chef she said that "no one would speak to me.." AWFUL..and the place was filthy (no wonder why the place was practically EMPTY..) read more

Love the salads here . portions are great and the grilled chicken is tender !! And also can enjoy a cocktail with your dinner . Super nice employees always make you feel special . read more

I'll start by saying I'm a bit fussy. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger med rare, and it was cooked med well. It happens. Bacon was bacon bits, likely out if a jar. Very disappointing given the up-charge. Fries were excellent. Server worked hard, and due to Covid and few patrons I tipped 30%. The place needs a cleaning and remodel. I likely will never return. read more

Love the breakfast buffet, only thing they have to keep it stocked. Will definitely go back .

Only two other occupied tables on a Saturday night should have indicated to me to run away. Fried mushroom appetizer still frozen in the middle. Crab soup creamy with lumps of some kind of non crab tasting stuff. Tuna fish salad sandwich made with I suspect, nine lives tuna. They are fortunate that they are in a busy transient area because I can't imagine anyone making a return visit read more

I have had nothing but fabulous food from here. Their apps, Stromboli and pizza are awesome. Definitely recommend

I ordered roast turkey dinner, received kennel Ration Dog food, oh excuse me Mike, the owner said pulled. If I wanted pulled, I would have asked for it. You don't take liberties with what customers order, and change it to how you see fit. I see a Funeral Parlor , Pretty soon at this Location because your Business is dead read more

We were looking for a place to eat en route to the ferry. This place fit the bill. Reviews were good overall so we decided to give it a try. As other yelpers have stated, the decor is nothing special - but who cares? The menu was packed with choices and our food was very good, plentiful and very reasonably priced. I had a fried fish sandwich which was huge - I could only manage eating a portion of it. It was crispy, fresh and tasty. My husband had the meatloaf (after reading a review) and wasn't disappointed. The kids ordered a medium sized pizza which came out large but they still charged us for a medium. There was a ton of cheese on the pizza which my son enjoyed stretching. Everything was good. Really glad we stopped here instead of eating at the ferry cafe. Will definitely be back next time we take the ferry. read more

Stopped 1st time been here 5 years, my loss great breakfast and pleasant help and fare price . Definitely will stop again and again. Just good food. read more

Great breakfast buffet & super friendly staff! (P.S.: thanks for the stuffed animal for the kids!) read more

Dinner food. Patrick was our waiter and he was good. I got the fried chicken, I had to send my breast back cuz it was not cook through. No questions it was done quickly. And it was good when it came back. I'd go back. read more

Stopped to have lunch here and after ordering I took a good look at the place. Dead flies on the window ledge and food all over the carpet. Place was not clean at all. My turkey club was horrible and the turkey was grey and room temp. NOT a good sign. It was a HARD pass on this. I wasn't asked why I didn't eat it. Hummmm.... Must mean something... I only give this place 1 star because in order to post the comment you need to give it that much. Otherwise NO Stars... read more
