    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!

    Coming here again after a while was a good experience. My friend and I wanted to change things up…read morethis past week so instead of the usual Folcroft Diner we cane here for a change. Right away we were sat down. It was at this visit I had the vegetarian omlette which came with some hash browns. The portion size was a little smaller than what I was used to at the other diner but that didn't make this not delicious! The service was great as I found the server gracious and kind and it had a quieter atmosphere which was welcoming for me. Hopefully we will once in a while come here again. It was a diner I almost forgot about but wondered why I dared to do so. Gateway Diner is worth the trip!

The house fries where just mashed fried Patatos, they where bland but after adding salt and pepper and mixed in my eggs it was good. The turkey bacon was kinda burnt but also chewy. And the toast was perfect! The service was fast and simple very nice. The inside was nice, and a good amount of people eating there. I went around 1 on a Sunday. They only have two bathrooms. I did enjoy my food but it was not the best and but not bad this is dinner food keep that in mind. I don't think I would personally pick this place again but if a friend or family member asked to go I would not put up a fight.

Today was no exception. Their grilled chicken sandwich was not what I hoped for. On the plus side, it was a generous portion of chicken, most of which I took home. As a negative -- at least for me -- I like a flat filet, with grill marks. This was "chunky," rendering it clumsy to eat. It simply didn't taste grilled at all. And the chicken was dry. T ordered a country omelet that was filled with breakfast meats, cheddar and peppers. Though not my thing, I agreed it was pretty good. His grits were creamy, buttery and delicious. Coffee is strong and served in the old-fashioned heavy mugs that I favor. Our server was friendly. ("Where are you from?" she asked, picking up on my Brooklyn accent.) I asked if Greek lemon soup is ever on the menu. She said that the owners are Turkish, then gave me a rundown of their specialties, all of which sound delish. (Alas, no avgolemono.) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Folcroft. The menu is diverse, the restaurant is clean -- as pointed out by another Yelper AND our waitress. If you order the right thing, you'll no doubt be pleased.

With a full bar of spinners and dining area the waitstaff works together and before long your food is before you. Our plates looked appealing enough and the portions were generous. My eggs and bacon were basic with no surprises and his pancakes looked fluffy and light. While his eggs were perfectly cooked to order, the sausage was undercooked and still pink inside. The full dining room kept the staff busy and unable to check back in time for the issue to be remedied but we did end up swapping it out for bacon after our meal was finished. There is always room for bacon The place is dated and could use some sprucing up, pricing is slightly on the high end for basic breakfast and no specials that include coffee/tea - that coupled with the undercooked meat. Cross Keys earns three and a half stars with room for improvement.
