Sage Diner

What a great little gem I found outside of Marcus Hook in Boothwyn Pennsylvania near Chester. Super…read moreeasy to order online the staff inside couldn't be nicer very clean and the hoagie was outstanding and fresh. It's a small Italian deli with other specialty Italian foods inside if you're in the area it's a must try and reasonably priced.

I just found this place recently and I've only been here 3 times. This place has been busy all…read morethree times and I went at differents time of the day. My first two were excellent, the third not so much. I've had an old world Italian hoagie and a roast beef hoagie, had the mini size and both were jam packed with delicious ingredients. There was a time I could have eaten the largest size, which is 3 times the size of the mini, but as an old man the mini was perfect. My most recent visit I ordered a regular size kielbasa with sauerkraut, which for most of the sandwiches would be like the medium size, for the kielbasa is was the smallest they offered. Well, I should have asked for the kraut on the side because when I got home the nice Aversa's roll was soggy, my fault there. On the other hand the kielbasa tased like Hillshire Farm mass produced crap. When the guy got it from the refrigerated cooler where they keep the deli meats he carried it with both hands in a manner as to hide the package it was in, I thought it was odd at the time but didn't think any more about it, until I got home and realized why. While waiting for my sandwich, I saw what looked like 'real' kielbasa in with the deli meats so I was very disappointed when I went to enjoy the sandwich only to have the taste and texture to like be a glorified hot dog. Overall I like the place, the prices and hoagies are great. But, I now know not to order anything but the hoagies here.

Crust wasn't especially crispy, cheese wasn't especially plentiful, sauce was garlic powder heavy as many places are. With so much competition in the area, many of whom have thinner crisper crusts at the same cost, we likely won't return. Dining room was unremarkable but we got takeout. Staff was polite enough.

The…read morefood came hot out of the oven and the driver was very nice - it arrived quickly - but my large pizza was massively burnt on the bottom. Totally blackened crust that ruined the rest of the pie. Now, I used to work in a pizzeria , one with a convection oven that timed the food, so I never burned anything. I'm guessing this is a place that uses a pizza deck oven, or whatever, one where you have to monitor it before it gets overcooked. I'm just asking you to keep a better eye on your products, because I like you guys, that's all.

It had that welcoming, hometown vibe where everyone seemed comfortable, and you could tell the staff genuinely cared about the food and the people they were serving. I've had Italian subs all over the country and this one is honestly the best I've ever had. Fresh bread, quality meats, crisp toppings, and everything perfectly balanced. Nothing flashy, just an incredible sandwich made the right way. The biggest compliment I can give is that before heading to the airport to fly back to California, I made sure to stop here one more time. I knew I'd regret leaving without one last Italian sub and I even bought a shirt as a souvenir. If you're anywhere nearby, don't overthink it. This is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype. Great food, great people, and the kind of hometown atmosphere that makes you feel like you've been coming here for years!

. I agree it is not your average diner and not in a good way . They treat most of the women there terrible. The one owner they are Turkish states he hates all women and their are all pathetic losers and many other degrading things to these poor women who are just doing their job , literally so mean to make women cry on the job but they stay because the customer relationships they have built. I have experienced first hand and know many women who are still dealing with this . And as a women no man should treat a women in this matter especially in a work environment.It's very toxic and a lot of mental abuse going on there that most people don't see because he does it behind closed doors where customers won't see. I also would not recommend eating the strawberry short cake even when the strawberries go moldy he will remove and serve this cake to customers. He also smokes cigarettes behind the line while cooking your food . So yes Sage diner is not your average diner. read more

I reached for the water glass - covered in filth. Not fingerprints, filth. I checked the other glass, same. I said something to the waitress. "Just grab one from the other table." Proves the saying you can't pay someone to care about their job. I looked at the glasses on the adjacent table to my right. Same. I looked at the glasses on the table to my left. Same. "We don't wear gloves when we set the table, they're just fingerprints." No, they were covered in muck from whatever was on the person's hands (who was too lazy to wash them) when they set the table. And having worked in restaurants, trust me. If that's what the front of the house looks like, the kitchen is 10 times worse. Got up, told the waitress this was disgusting and left.
