Ok, let me start by saying this: I grew up in Philadelphia. My family was from South Philly. I now spend most of my time in the Georgia, but come back to Philadelphia just about every week. Philadelphia is not the Philadelphia. I grew up in. It's nasty and angry and ugly and it seems that nobody cares about doing a good job or providing a good service. The exception to my recent experiences in Philadelphia is the Oregon Diner. From the gentleman who seated us, our lovely and friendly waitress, the spotless dining room, delicious meal, and prices that are more than fair, everything in the Oregon diner was wonderful. To help make my point, I have never in my life, eaten a side dish of spinach that was more tasty. Spinach. Who puts that much effort into a side of spinach? The Oregon Diner Chef, that's who. The French Onion Soup and burger were tops too. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It brought me back to the South Philly I remember from my childhood. Thank you for restoring my faith that there is some good still left in Philadelphia. God bless you! Go here next time you are looking for someplace to eat. You will not be disappointed. read more

From the moment we walked in and got to our booth we met Mary Beth our server and she was fantastic!! The place looks very spotless clean and everything looks wiped down. The menu is plentiful with many different choices. Everybody seems they really be enjoying themselves and there's a nice of conversation, but it's not overly stimulating and loud to the point where you can't hear yourself think We just placed our order and I look forward to trying the menu items that we ordered. We're gonna split a stack of blueberry pancakes and we're both getting an omelette and I'm really excited for the flavors and the delicious meal that we are about to enjoy. Fast forward to getting our reasonably priced bill and having a perfectly Full belly. Everything was perfect and I cannot wait to return with my husband who is a foodie. . It's been a minute since we had a Perfect breakfast/ Brunch! See you soon, MaryBeth read more

Haven't been here in ages and decided to stop by while dog sitting in the area. Close by with a nice big parking lot, plenty of seating and menu options. I was immediately greeted when I walked in by the cashier and hostess. The hostess then lead me to the seating area and asked where I'd like to sit, which is always nice. My server came promptly and took my drink order, and came back quickly to take my food order. She was efficient and knew the menu well, but was rather curt. I was planning on ordering some pancakes after my entree but she never came back after dropping off the food, except to bring the check, which was the only negative on my visit. Went with a western with American, it was fantastic. Nice chunks of fresh veggies, perfect hash browns, and rye toast on the side. Delicious diner food, highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Oregon Diner - Western with American cheese. - Diners Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Returned here after probably at least a year away, since moving to the next county... but revisited for an anniversary. It looked as if they did some renovations, though was way less packed than I remember... and on a Saturday. May have been because there were a lot of events going on in the city or because of the new buffet that opened up nearby, but I was impressed that their prices remained affordable and didn't go up like some other places with the current economy. read more

Everything was great. The diner was very busy and had that local place feeling. We had zero complaints with our food. Everything came out fast and tasted great. They even let us store our bags at the front while we ate. Everyone was friendly and it was a great experience overall. There's a ton of seating options with booths and tables. It's cafe style so you pay as you leave. read more

Hands down one of the best diners in Philly! Clean, cool, and very well maintained! Seating and service was prompt. We had to take our dishes to go because the portions are so big! Food tasted fresh. I'm usually a wordy person, but because I had such a positive experience, I feel I don't need to go into too much detail. Definitely coming back, and if you haven't yet been, put this diner at the top of your list! read more

How on earth could you not love a true city diner? It is almost always busy, has fantastic service, quick delivery of food, plenty of options, and wild portions. The only reason I note 4 stars vs. 5 is 1) Price. These are not diner prices - they are restaurant prices and 2) They recently renovated and the booths are WAY too small read more

Food was great and the service was wonderful!! I would definitely recommend great for families, friends or couples.

We're on our way to Wilkes Barre for a concert and stopped for brunch. Mixed emotions because of our now deceased married (practically 2nd) parents. This was "their" diner, that they frequented DAILY for breakfast! Some really kind staff came up to us with condolences and just to say hi. Very sweet and appreciated. Everything was wonderful- fresh "real" oj, eggs, breakfast sandwich and French toast. Their baked goods looked out of this world, but I passed, due to binkini season rapidly approaching! This is a Philly landmark and rightfully so! read more

Update: Always 5 stars,, wish I could give more. The walls are full of hoots of what makes Philly special. Alexandra was our server today. Mom had an asparagus omelette and I had a BLT. I ordered two fried eggs to do a DIY sandwich modification and Alexandra read my mind before I could say anything. I now have a new go to brunch comfort food. Thanks ! I highly recommend this place as most locals do, but if you're in town for a game or seeing the sights here in Philly, this is great food, great staff and definitely affordable prices. read more

I haven't been here in a very long time but a friend of mine wanted to go. It hasn't changed a bit in years. If you're looking for a peaceful meal, you're not going to get it here. Noisy and busy!! Other than that, the food is good, prices are good, staff is good, and parking lot is a plus. read more

The crab cake topped tilapia was delicious! Solid portions (took half home). Waitress Jessica was professional, polite and attentive. Nice dining atmosphere. New to the area, but this will be a regular stop for me, breakfast (love the cream chipped beef), lunch or dinner. read more

This was the worst food I ever received from the Oregon diner. My husband ordered a corn beef special and received a Rubin that was over cooked. The server did not get it right, and the cook did not get it right. I ordered a Monte cristo. I received that with lunch meat boiled ham. Instead of a piece of ham, the French toast tasted like it was cooked on a dirty grill. In my 50 years of going to the Oregon diner, that was the absolute worst meal I've ever had. It's sad to say as far as me and my husband are concerned. The Oregon diner has closed down. read more

Excellent service. Diner food at its best. Top quality and delicious. The ambiance is immaculate. Great ambience. Highly recommend.

Meh. It's a diner. I'm used to the fishtown diner, which is always dead. This place had a good crowd. French onion soup was good - burger was kinda bad. My wife's salad was pretty good, read more

I was craving some classic diner classics. We came here on a Saturday morning, staff were super friendly and quick. We got the usual, omelette, eggs, home fries, and pancakes.

Been going here since I was younger. Always wonderful customer service. Friendly waitresses. Great meals. Love their pastries and ice cream.

Always love this diner. Great breakfast spot, been going here since the 60's and never disappointed. Love the home fries and scrapple. Veal parm is fantastic, they use real veal unlike some places that use the patties which suck. Highly recommended. read more

A good diner. We were offered the worst table: by the door, which is next to an outside waiting area that smells extremely strongly of cigarettes - I felt like I smoked a pack just walking into the diner. We declined the table and were seated elsewhere. Got a sausage and spinach panini with fries, pancakes, over-easy eggs, scrapple, orange juice, and coffee. Coffee was not refilled, which seems like it should have been for it being a diner. The panini was okay. I thought the bread should have been sandwich bread, not a pita-type bread. The serving size was large. The fries were good. read more

Hard to believe it's been 10 years since I was last here. Got a sausage and egg platter with toast and hash browns for dinner on a Wednesday evening because I'm fancy like that. I was also in a cheap protein mood. It came out in 12 minutes. And everything was pretty good. The toast was a little burnt but I've had worse. It was straight up decent diner fare. I will also add that the guy near me at the counter got chicken pot pie that looked heavenly. And it came out in like 5 minutes. I kind of regretted my decision after seeing that. Now the menu said $7.55 for this platter. I should have known it was too good to be true because they wound up charging me over $9 at the counter before tax and tip. That's life nowadays I guess. It's still nice and cheap. read more

I was pretty disappointed with this diner and will not be coming back. A lot of the breakfast food and fries were cooked in very old oil that made the food have a bad taste. I had the broccoli and cheddar omelette and the eggs had a very bad oil taste. It was also just slopped onto the plate. Everyone else was pretty dissatisfied with their meals as well. read more

I've been coming to Oregon Diner for the better part of the last decade and honestly it's one of my favorite places for a quick brunch! You walk in and are always seated promptly, with a server coming to grab a drink order within minutes. The menu is huge and has all your favorite diner dishes! I alway go between a tuna salad sandwich on rye or a grilled cheese with tomato with their tasty fries! During my last visit I saw that they added an impossible burger to their brunch menu - love to see it! It can be a bit busy/loud on weekend mornings but that's expected! Be sure to check out the dessert case on your way out! read more

Yuck. Been here quite a few times. Kept hoping it would get better. Nope the creamed chipped beef had no beef. The had brown are grated disgusting potatoes. If you add undercooked onions and peppers to them it's an extra $2. Bleh. The avocado toast is barely a spread of horrible guacamole and fried eggs. Meaning hard fried. Awful. I ordered over medium eggs after the order came and I realized they came hard fried...an extra $3. Unreal. I'm done with this place. Waitress could have cared less read more

Get ready for giant portions and delicious food! Diners can be hit or miss but this place has fantastic food. The portions were much bigger then we were expect and had plenty of leftovers. The service was pretty good and we were well taken care of. The restaurant is pretty large so we had no wait and got a comfy booth. Their prices are a little high but for the portion sizes I think it's fair. We will definitely be going back! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! We used to come here every Saturday to eat. The food isn't that great at all, but it's close to our business and we enjoyed coming there to eat and talk shop. Today, however, my business partner was ASSAULTED. He is 85 years old and wears hearing aids. When the hostess went to seat us, she placed us in a section with a crying baby. My partner said, "Ma'am, do you mind if we sit in another seat so that we don't have to..." (word for word). She sat us in a different booth without issue. A moment later, another waitress stormed over to us and told my partner that he was rude and disrespectful for what he said. All of us thoroughly confused, he asked her to repeat herself. She again called him rude and began to raise her voice, drawing the attention of the staff and patrons. At that moment, we got up and decided to leave, citing our right to not be insulted. At that moment, another man (presumably the baby's father) approached and began to verbally assault my 85 year old business partner. He began yelling, cursing, and got into my partners face, claiming that if he ever said anything like that again he would put his hands on him. My business partner calmly replied, "okay then, do it", at which point the man became confused, then told him he wasn't worth it and stormed off. I have no idea what the waitress and the child's father thought that he said. The hostess never took issue, and she was standing less than 2 feet away when he spoke. What troubled me most is that the rest of the staff watched everything go down without any attempt to defuse, sort out, or otherwise mitigate the situation. They just stood there and stared along with the other patrons. No apology, no attempt to make anything right. No sense of responsibility to try and deescalate the situation. This speaks volumes about their character and potentially the way you may be treated if you go to this establishment. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

Today, Wednesday, March 26th, I had the apple walnut salad from the new spring specials menu for lunch. As always, Tiffany came right over to take my drink order with a warm smile. She is a joy to see and always brings a positive energy to my visits. I've been coming to the Oregon Diner for over 20 years, as I live nearby and visit often. In all that time, I've never had a bad experience--the food is consistently great, and the staff is always welcoming. Tiffany's cheerful demeanor never fails to brighten my day, making each visit even more enjoyable. read more

Was in Philly visiting and wanted diner food, this was one of the first places that popped up on Google. Service was okay. Nothing great or bad. Food looked like it had been sitting out and had little to no flavor. I ordered the Creamed Chipped Beef, which is my all time favorite meal, and it was so bland and tasteless. The hash browns were greasy with no flavor. The lady up front taking payments seemed like she didn't even want to be there. It was an ok experience, but won't go back. read more

A bit of a YIKES ! Typical diner fare. Cold toast. Waitresses loudly complaining about everything from how fat a couple customers are, to the generalities of a life in food service. Took awhile to get our check due to the fact that one of the staff had just returned from a vacation that they were all discussing. I'll stick with Penrose for diner breakfasts for now. read more
