Could definitely use some cleaning and refurbishing, which was particularly obvious when I went to use the men's room. Why are two single-use bathrooms gendered, anyway? A good place to go for the late munchies. I went with two others on a Saturday night around 9:30. Two of us ordered veggie omelets, while a third had a seafood soup of some kind, and a grilled cheese with fries. The food was pretty good, nice portions, and served fast. 3.5 stars. read more

Excellent diner. For decades it's held up in decor and taste. The breakfast is always delicious! I got the hungry lady, by far too much food for me. The French toast was thick crisp and sweet, perfectly cooked. I wish they had actual maple syrup instead of smuckers, but the whipped butter made it. Eggs over medium, perfectly cooked and came with white toast; that's already buttered for you. The home fries were great, real slices of potatoes with butter and fried edges, but the star of the show was the giant slab of scrapple! It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, spiced and delicious. A must get. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, she put in the work. If you've never been, you should. If you're passing through Philly suburbs, it's a great place to visit at anytime of the day or night. read more

Llanerch Diner - Boul of soup and salad - Diners Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

Likely defeating the purpose of working out -- we just came from the gym -- I said, "Let's go for breakfast!" This is a quick update: returning to Llanerch, I told our server that I wanted a chicken salad sandwich, but last time they skimped on the chicken salad. "Got ya!" she said. And I ended up with my idea of a perfect sandwich. Lesson learned: speak up! read more

Llanerch Diner - Worlds Fair Waffle - Diners Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

I'm not really sure why I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. I've never had anything to eat from here that is any good, and I've been several times at this point (don't judge me - it is near my house). I think the reason I'm giving it two instead of one is because it LOOKS like an old school diner. Everything I've ever eaten from here has been bland. I got some disco fries recently and they somehow made the cheese and gravy have absolutely no flavor. Not even sure how that's possible, tbh. People are friendly. I suppose it has that going for it. Parking lot is a bit of a nightmare to get in and out of. I'd absolutely drive a couple miles out of the way to go to a different diner, if I insisted on having diner food. read more

Waitress great. Food not so much. Soup served cold. Waffles and pancakes not enjoyed by children who declared they were not hot. Gravy for meatloaf lumpy. Went there for a sentimental visit. Next time I go back to the old neighborhood we will go to Cawleys where food is served hot. read more

Pros: Love the look Friendly staff Good French onion soup and Reuben melt Enjoyable coffee I'm a sucker for Silver Linings Playbook Cons: Meh chicken noodle soup Old honey mustard and pickles Cubano let down Subpar fries Would come again but only if I was really itching for some diner food read more

Food was pretty good and came out quick. We've ordered here a few times as well and haven't had a bad experience. the staff is absolutely amazing. read more

Wow! A diamond in the rough. It's you've been around long enough, then you have a special local diner in your own hometown that you've been going to since you were a small child. Me too. Llanerch Diner reminds me of my hometown old school diner. No frills. Just quick, friendly service with personality combined with a menu large enough to support tastes of all sorts. I've only been here twice (in 1 trip), but I know this is a place where everything just tastes great. For me it was the mushroom cheesesteak plate w fries. Both times! And did I mention the (real) ice cream shake to wash all that goodness down? And did I mention that they never close? 24-7 Llanerch is here to serve locals and visitors alike. If you haven't made it a point to route your navigation to Llanerch Diner, do it now. And, like me, I'm sure you'll be a fan for life! read more

One of the best diners in the area. The interior/exterior is a total vintage lovers dream. Their breakfast is always really good. read more

Llanerch Diner - the sign for the diner - Diners Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

Cute little diner - lots of local history - food was good ; service was good. Plus it's famous for the movie " silver linings playbook "

The waiters were so nice and the food was amazing! I loved my experience there and I recommend it to people in the area.

Very good. Came on a early Sunday morning and the place was not crowded at all. It's a great place inside (probably why they filmed a recent movie scene in here). The food tasted very good, delivered quickly and well prepared. I've learned to expect overly greased hash browns and these were not! Definitely a good stop. read more

Good diner food for a good price, friendly staff and clean environment. Great place overall!

Home of the Silver Linings Playbook booth. When you enter at 11:30pm and your server tells you she just put on a fresh pot of decaf,you know your in good hands. The place is a long standing go to diner in Delco. They are open late and have a standard diner menu. The seat of my booth is duct taped together. If you need fancy don't bother coming. If you need quiet stay home. This place is hopping and the food is hot and tasty. The place is clean and the staff knows their stuff. Yeah some dishes aren't perfect, but the fries are good, breakfast foods and soups work and desserts are delish. read more

Great spot for any time of day. They have a wide variety of options and the food is always fresh! Loved the French onion soup. Grace is such a nice and attentive waitress. read more

This place is amazing and filled with so many memories. My partner and I come here all the time and at all times of the day. We work in theatre, so long hours and late nights are fueled by their amazing coffee and meals, and supported by their incredible and kind staff. They're always excited to see us, and we love talking to them, hearing their stories and sharing our own. No matter who you see, the ambiance is friendly and warm - it's a place that always feels like home. Thank you so much for being here for us!!! read more

Incredible diner, incredible food, incredible staff, food was fresh yet brought out timely. Been this way for decades.

I took my wife to see the Llanerch Diner that was in the " Silver Linings Playbook " movie for a Sunday Brunch ! I'm a Upper Darby HS graduate in 1958! A delightful experience, bought a mug . Our waitress was in the movie ,,stating the movie crew was fantastic! They took over for 3 days , installed a new sign , painted and cleaned up the dining area ! The owners very happy ! read more

I'm a Jersey girl who recently relocated the area, and I think this diner is one of my favorite places. It feels like, and looks like, being back at home in one of the Jersey diners I grew up with. There is a great breakfast menu, and the prices are reasonable. The servers are attentive. There is a nice bustle around Sunday breakfast, but it's very relaxed other times. read more

I ordered a veggie omelet, which came with home fries and toast. The quality was pretty standard for a diner - the veggies were a mixture of fresh and probably frozen. However, I appreciated that they were offered. A lot of places with veggie omelets have green peppers and onions, and that's about it - but this one had broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, and bits of asparagus. The home fries had no seasoning, but were cooked fine. These are all very typical for diners so that's why I'm giving Llanerch a 3/5: A-OK. I'm thinking the ambiance of a diner versus takout would have added more to the experience, so maybe I'll try again if the pandemic ever ends. (Please :gestures to no one and everyone: let it end!) read more

Llanerch Diner - Veggie omelet and home fries - Diners Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews on here. Place was nice. Food was cooked, and hot. My server, I believe her name is Stevie, was attentive and thoughtful, despite a pretty decent amount of people in the diner, and just her and one other person serving. Prices were good, about $15 for one person (plus a dessert), as was the food itself good. Fries reminded me a bit of Curly's in Wildwood for some odd reason. I also got a little bit of cake as a little treat for myself. It was so yummy! Atmosphere reminded me of that genuine 50's type diner. As for dessert, cake was nice and fluffy and icing wonderfully decadent. Ice cream was thick and creamy. Additionally, I love how it's all day breakfast. Will definitely keep that in mind for next time I find myself here. I see myself hankering for some pancakes. read more

It was a cold rainy evening with nasty weather forecasted so even though I was concerned there was only one car in the lot when I arrived, I gave it a shot. There were a few issues: * had to ask for silverware. * then had to ask for a napkin * my milk wasn't really cold and only 3/4 full. * my soup wasn't hot nor really warm- just lukewarm. All of that aside, the meal was called a mini meal and it was a great value at $9.99. Soup, roll with butter, entree with a huge side of pasta. Brought the pasta home for another meal. It was a run of the mill diner meal that was comforting on this nasty weather night. * Final issue was having to wait for my check while my server with her back to me finished her dinner seated at the counter 3 feet from me. I Consider this an issue because 3 other servers were standing around, facing me with my plate pushed away and no one volunteered to deliver a check to someone who was obviously done. Cmon folks there were only 2 other customers !!! This place is no way as good as the LLANERCH of old, Pre 2010 but it's ok and I'll try it again sometime And hopefully be able to add more stars. read more

Totally shocked by the appearance of the food honestly everything was perfect besides the fact that my turkey bacon tasted a tad bit like pork may have been cooked before it it's somewhat fine I'll accept it but everything else was perfect food was great taking to go boxes as we speak and I'm gonna finish in the morning because it's 3:30 am lol service was great read more

Amazing dinner after a long night out. I got the hungry man and enjoyed it. Would recommend this dinner to anyone.

Menus were awful. Duct taped seats. Food was gross, bland, and undercooked. Do not recommend.

This is a good diner and eating here gives you the diner experience. Oh yeah and it doesn't hurt that it was the location for one of the climatic scenes in the cool film 'Silver Linings Playbook' with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. A friend and I recently tested it out for a late lunch and we both felt positive about the experience. The food was very tasty from the different soups (a very delicious bean soup and flavorful chicken noodle soup) to the Greek Salad which came with our meals. My Greek assortment platter was huge with hefty portions of Moussaka, Pastichio, Spanakopita, and Dolmades. Half of it went home with me so it became two meals! My only question is - Why the tomato sauce and not the traditional béchamel sauce for the pastichio and moussaka? Service was friendly. And if you think greasy spoon' is a common adjective for a diner - think again. This diner was spotless clean! read more

Omelet was dry and overcooked. Men's room was very dirty. I would have left if I went before eating. One extra star for pleasant, quick service. I'm never returning. read more

Will wonders never cease! The lovely wife and I just stopped in for a late dinner and behold; this Havertown institution now has a beer and wine license. The refrigerated glass case that normally holds the cakes and pies now is half full of bottled beer. Now that's my kind of desert case! Our waiter said they've had their license about two weeks. It's just the basics and bottles only. Bud, Michelob, Heineken, and two or three others. They are offered for $3 and change depending upon the brand. This has the potential of changing the crowd here. It's going to be interesting to see how it develops. read more

Come here! It is so worth it! But don't come here at like 1-3am because I need a table lmao! It is so so good! Once I found this place I seriously don't go to any other diner and am here so frequent my wallet is mad at me! Gracie is always my server and she the sweetest queen ever and at this point knows exactly what I ordered every time! My recommendation that is fool proof: chicken tender with ranch (don't judge me) and Belgian waffles with ice cream. read more

Good diner food, friendly staff, somewhat reasonable prices, sunny dining room and counter service. With other local diners closing up shop in the last few years (Hot Spot, Manoa), other than chains like Perkins and iHop, Llanerch, which has been around for 70+ years and survived closing for a year after a fire during Covid has maintained its presence in the community. The diner scene from Silver Linings Playbook was filmed here and you can still sit on the same booth as Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. A solid place to have breakfast lunch or dinner. read more

we go here all the time, its the place to be. great late night vibes with gracie and will, some super friendly dope folks.

Great spot. Friendly staff. Good food. Highly recommend!! Came for some dessert so it was a shame the cake case wasn't working properly, I was really in the mood for some pie (sigh!) First time I've been to a diner with no pie selection. Can't wait to come back! Hopefully they'll have some pie:) read more

It's really sad how far this place has fallen! Highlights of tonight's visit: - No greeting - Bathroom filthy / pee on the floo - Sat at counter for 5 minutes, both servers Walked by me at least 5 times each, Was totally ignored - One server finally stops and asks me "What did you want?" Note: I don't even have a menu yet - I finally get something to drink Note: They "ran out" of Iced Tea (That's a 1st - never heard that before) - I sit there for another 5 minutes. Again Completely ignored I leave.... This used to be THE BEST diner around pre-2010. Now they can't can't even handle a half full dining room with 2 servers Pathetic! read more

False advertisement with business hours. Was 3:50am and arrived to a disappointing surprise of finding the business to be closed. With gas prices increased, not only was it expensive to travel there but it was also an inconvenience to discover the business to be closed when they advertise being open 24/7. read more

We go often for breakfast. Good service decent food at a respectable price. Quiet, clean.

The food was prepared fresh and it was tasty. This was our first visit. The exciting part of our dining experience is that we sat in the booth where they filmed 'Silver Linings Playbook' we will make another visit. read more
