    Overcooked and watery pasta

    Very big luxurious portions but pasta was overcooked and watery. Reasonable prices and service good

    Two fresh eggs with Bacon and rye roasted and a side of hash browns - basic, simple and was just fine.

    Not the greatest diner in the world, but by far not even close to the worst! I recently stopped by for lunch. Plenty of parking can be found on their private lot. There was plenty of seating available and my server was nice. My order was simple two eggs, bacon and potatoes with rye toast. The menu was huge and I was tempted to go with one of their "porker" sandwiches, but it seemed like too much food, so maybe on another visit. I think the menu is the key here, it's massive on all fronts: the breakfast side, sandwich, salad and entrees. Whether the quantity matches the quality is the big question, but you could literally eat something different for a couple of months straight! While I was waiting for my food I took a look around. The inside looks like it was updated in the last ten or so years, but they have or had some ceiling leaks. Gotta replace those tiles guys! Other than that everything seemed to be pretty typical of a diner. They have a small bar seating area when you come in, a small dining area against the front window and then a main dining area consisting of booths and tables. They had a TV in the main dining area with the news at noon on. Food came out pretty quick and everything was just fine. They gave a generous portion of bacon. I'd return if I'm in the area.

    Appetizers, soups, salad, complete sandwiches menu

    I really appreciated the super sweet and attentive server #53. Very clean and pleasant diner. My food was filling and hit the spot. It was a welcome respite after driving through Philly streets.

    Coming here for 5 years and for some reason I checked the reviews for Stargate today. I was surprised that I saw a couple of Negative reviews. Come on people this is a suburban Diner not a five star Philly dining destination. It should be reviewed like a hometown diner. Consistently, the service is good, the place is clean and the food is good. I would also add that there is plenty of offstreet parking and as it's conveniently located on Chester Pike, just a stone's throw away from interstate 95, It's a good place to try if you're just looking for some casual food at very reasonable prices in a pleasant atmosphere. For commuters it is literally down the steps from the train station Today's meal: The BB (Baltimore Beau) had a Fried flounder sandwich and absolutely loved it. He said that the flounder was very fresh and the breading was light. I who am not a fan of fried or breaded food wasn't convinced unless I took a taste. I did and I agreed with him that it tasted very fresh. I had the Santa Fe salad. I was given the option to have it delivered as made or to have it chopped. I am so glad I picked the chopped option. My deep dish of salad greens was chopped in such a fashion that they were nicely bite-size and the Santa Fe seasoned chicken on top was plentiful. I ate a third of it and when full I brought leftovers home. At Stargate you'll be assured that portion sizes are generous. As for staff it always seems to be staffed by somebody in charge and it shows. The wait staff are pleasant, quick and accurate in delivery of items ordered. The boyfriend remarked that the place looked like it had recently been redone but I told him that it's been a few years and that it probably looks so good because they keep it so clean. Seating is also very comfortable. If you're in the middle of Delaware County and looking for a place to eat in a casual, relaxed atmosphere Stargate fits the bill

    closest - biscuit with sausage gravy & hash, French toast, eggs + scrapple, side of hash & side of bacon

    We have not been here since 2020 & this was our first time back since. If anyone is lazy & wants breakfast locally, I would suggest coming here to Stargate Diner. My husband ordered French toast, eggs over easy, scrapple with a side of hash & bacon. The French toast were nice crispy thick slices. Bacon was also nice & crispy. I could not help myself. I had to steal a slice of French toast, it was eyeing me the whole time. I ordered the biscuit sausage & gravy with hash. Biscuit was moist & the gravy was creamy. I could not finish my dish, husband had to help. We were satisfied, will for sure be back regularly.

    Very nice seating area!

    I had an amazing western omelette with home fries and rye toast. I also had a hot chocolate that was very sweet but delicious!! This is my favorite local diner!

    I was charged almost $16 for frozen chicken tenders. The portion was small, and they were cold and soggy, not crispy. Very disappointing.

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given.

I placed my order, got my silverware and table number and sat down to wait for them to bring it out, very efficient way to do things. When my food arrived, an omelet with mushrooms, onions, sweet Italian sausage, and cheddar cheese, my eyes grew wide. Before digging in I popped a stray mushroom that was sitting on top of omelette before taking the photo. Immediately noticed the amount of flavor of the mushroom alone, it prompted me to ask if they were marinated, the chef/owner came out after I was done and said she takes baby bella mushrooms, cuts them up and sautees them in salt pepper garlic, "no cans here' she said and you can tell. Upon digging into the omelette I found it to be loaded with the ingredients I had chosen, even distribution, I mean just look at that cross section! The potatoes were seasoned well and delightfully crispy. Prices were more than fair for the quality. They definitely care, they definitely put out excellent food, and I think they'll definitely succeed, even with being in a tough spot parking wise...I'm local to Norwood but I'll gladly pay the meter every time if it means I get to enjoy more of the Good Vibes Only!

The sandwich was a good medley of flavors - tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar -classic and delicious combo. The potato wedges were mouth-watering.

Once I opened the container in my car, I immediately noticed over easy eggs, not fried. There were no green onions in the dish. The potatos were undercooked and very firm. The brisket was tender but not super flavorful and the salsa verde didn't do much along the lines of lifting the taste. I only ate the brisket.

The owners keep a handful of rescued farm animals (pot-bellied pigs, mini ponies, goats), and it is clear they are well cared for. It is a busy place for big wedding events now, and so we like to stay during the week. It is very relaxing to walk around the grounds. We saw a giant heron in the pond and deer strolling. There are so many nice places to sit outside with a bottle of wine and a book or snacks. Rooms are very unique and comfortable. You have a lot of different personalities to choose from: lofts, cabins, barn spaces, etc. Many have jacuzzis which can provide your evening entertainment, lol. We have not eaten in the restaurant because our top restaurant on earth is very close by, but when it was closed, Josh gave us great recommendations. And he made a lovely tofu scramble for breakfast as a special request. One sweet touch: despite checking the room, we left without my spouse's expensive phone charger. Housekeeping found it and ran after us before we could drive off without it. She did not have to do that. Always tip your housekeeping staff.

The inn itself is an architectural delight, as well, so you are surrounded by beauty on all sides. Service was pleasant and forthcoming. I wouldn't say that this is the finest level of dining, of course, you're not expecting EMP in the middle of Bucks County, but this is a good attempt, and people are pleasant and quite dignified. The guests were all well attired and the crowd is polite and kind. Food is of the adventurous character, which I enjoy. A lot of different flavor combinations (they like to do salé and sucré), beautiful plating, interesting textures, and good cooking techniques. My favorites were the octopus appetizer (so buttery soft and tender, which is a rarity) and the pheasant special, which was a pleasant and apropos surprise in this outdoor, country setting. Finally, this is a BYOB restaurant with perfectly selected wine glasses, fine silverware, and other special touches such as a freshly starched linens, etc. which elevate the dining experience.
