Went here with brunch with the in-laws this past weekend, and it was super-tasty. I understand that the place underwent a massive renovation recently; alas, it's still a greek diner, but now with marble countertops in the ladies room. The good news is that the restaurant is immaculate and unpretentious, and still has room for the regulars. When we were there this past weekend, the prices were incredibly reasonable. I got a french dip for 5 bucks and change; other sandwiches were in the $3-4.50 range. My pal said her milkshake was especially good, and I was happy with the coffee. I had fun playing with my unintentionally magnetized silverware; I am easily amused. Name that alloy! [Quick Update: They aren't a 24 hour diner anymore. They close at 10 on weeknights and midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.] read more

If you aren't a regular, apparently, you will just get marginalized at this fine establishment. My family and I are new to the area and decided to give this place a shot. We were a party of five and watched as a group of 5 and 6 walked in after us, were warmly greeted by the hostess, and ushered right in. The first time I questioned about the group of 5 being seated I was told that it was a group of 4 when I clearly saw the seater come out, mention a table for five was ready, another family pointed at us, but the later arrivals were simply ushered on in. The group of 6 were practically seated immediately upon entry, which meant a 6-top was open the whole time. Apparently, my family wasn't good enough to sit at it. When we complained a second time...well, suddenly there was a table. Come on now. Never again. Shame on this place. read more

I love pie. This place has a large array of delicious, tasty pies. Especially the blueberry crumb pie. The food is not bad but not great either. It's still diner food. The service is either awesome or blah. When they hire constantly good servers I will visit more often. read more

A restaurant with an identity crisis. The Superior used to be a diner, then morphed into a "fine dining-diner" with great diner breakfasts and sandwiches. Recently renovated inside and out, the Superior offers good-sounding breakfast fare and great lunch specials. I ate dinner there and that's where the experience turns Inferior. That lavender gloop on my goat cheese & artichoke stuffed chicken breast was not on the menu, and ruined my otherwise juicy, cheesy chicken. Its color and consistency - and even taste - resembled that goo that dentists use to make impressions. We figured out it was supposed to be some kind of blueberry sauce. The flavors on my plate were all over the place, very messy. The service and quality say diner, but the prices and atmosphere are confused, as am I. read more

It's all in the name: Superior. This is my first experience here. I've driven past it many times and figured I'd give it a try. The order: Caesar salad with shrimp added. French toast with cream of hash and scrambled eggs. Pros: Very well done decor Portions were very good. Shrimp was large and well seasoned Salad wasn't drenched in dressing. French toast was burnt. (Best I've had in a very long time) Corn beef hash was not under cooked. Apple juice was a full sized glass and not munchkin shot glass. Cons: Took a little longer than expected. Sat near a smoker exit Summary: Will definitely return and recommend to others. read more

Was in and out in 20 minutes with great food, service, and ambience. Place is gorgeous belongs in magazine. read more

We went here for the first time and would never go back. While the place is clean with a good atmosphere, the food is just terrible. I ordered breakfast and the toast was stale, tasteless, and covered in some sort of oil. The eggs were bland, the homefries were undercooked and oily, the scrapple tasted like a burnt piece of oil waste, and the pancakes were undercooked with batter in the middle. The food seemed artificial. The best thing was the clear water in a glass. My friend had dinner and it was tasteless and off-flavor read more

This must be the nicest looking diner in the Valley...they did a great job with renovations! We had a very late lunch/very early dinner here on a Saturday (around 4 o'clock). The host was very friendly & got us seated quickly, and our waitress was over within about 30 seconds to get our drink orders. She came back with the drinks so quickly that we had to ask for a few minutes to peruse the menu! Now, it's diner food. Nothing crazy. Come here for breakfast or sandwiches and your life will probably be very good. I don't tend to trust diners for food that's much showier than those. My cold roast turkey sandwich was fairly solid - but served dry. Weird. But it did have two slices of tomato, so that's an upgrade (most diners in the area do them with lettuce & mayo). So I just asked for a bit of mayo and I was a happy camper. The turkey was a bit on the dry side so the mayo was needed. My husband had a tuna melt & was very happy with it. Standard crinkly chips & pickle (I skipped the coleslaw - hubs said it was so so) and it was a tasty meal. Everyone was friendly. Food came out within 10 minutes. Our bill was around $10. I think that's a hit in my book. I'm not sure I'd get the roasted turkey again but I'll definitely come back to try something else. read more

We had brunch here on the weekend, had a choice of outside or inside so went inside, got a nice little section and banquette to ourselves. Nice atmosphere. The waitress was nice. Tried something new and local to the area - grapple (a/k/a Dutch grapple) which is basically a pork patty - interesting. Got breakfast plate steak and eggs. The home fries were same as NY version. The steak was a nice tasty cut. read more

If you are in the Lehigh Valley and you are looking for a clean diner, staffed with thoughtful individuals, and traditional breakfast favorites, then Superior is a great start. Overall the food follows the traditional diner mold. Personally, I have had breakfast there multiple times and I cannot say I was ever upset with the service or quality of the food. The prices are very reasonable, the service is attentive, and you are getting traditional breakfast foods quickly and made to order. The Superior is not like the trendy breakfast spot popping up across the Valley, but it is a classic that does a nice job creating quality breakfast foods. read more

We've been looking for a "go to" restaurant, and Superior is about as close as we've come so far. It's an eclectic mix. One side is a more traditional family restaurant. The other side more diner like. On weekends they've got a piano player who's probably been there as long as the restaurant. They've got daily specials. Many of which are repeated frequently. Prices run from downright cheap, to mostly inexpensive. There aren't many places left where you can get a meatloaf dinner or hot turkey sandwich for under ten dollars. Complete with soup or salad. I had a salmon dish with plum sauce that was absolutely delicious. I think it was $12.95. Chicken Paprikash was another tasty dish I've had more than once. I'd guess most of their clientele are 'regulars'. We're added to that list. read more

Very good food and service. Very nice decor. Quick service clean bathrooms.

Great portions and customer service. Food was tasty and came out fast.Prices were good.

Went here for breakfast. Great food. Coffee was fresh and strong. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Ham steak was delicious. Hostess greeted and sat us right away and the waitresses are attentive. I'm glad we stopped by this place. We will definitely be back if we're in the area. read more

Good food, the owners are very accommodating. Love the flat iron steak with mushrooms and onions. Im not the easiest person to please so keep up the good work. P read more

Don't. It is very inferior. So many diners around here...go down the street to Emmaus diner or drive a couple more miles to Sunrise. Or up cedar crest to Perkins. Or just go to McDonald's. Or go home and have cereal. Or go hungry until your next meal. You'll be okay :) read more

Just a quick lunch. Wife and I , excellent crab cakes with back fin meat. Very large small Greek salad entree. Fresh large cheese cake with choice of fruit dressing read more

Had the most amazing breakfast here spinach and feta cheese omelette Service was fantastic they really spoil you here read more

Went here for breakfast and had a good meal. Service was good. But no guest Wi-Fi !!! Diner had 5 networks but none available to guests.

Food was okay, nothing special, but not nearly as bad as the other reviews suggested. Our problem was with the unprofessional staff. The servers were conversing, loudly, with some of their regular customers. One server in particular was discussing her boyfriend being shot the day before. The other servers chimed in with their own, I got shot one time, stories. Lovely. Exactly what I want to hear about while I'm trying to eat breakfast. Some coaching on inappropriate conversations in the workplace and maintaining a professional environment seems to be in order. We won't be returning. read more

Beautiful place... BLECH food.... never again. I have eaten in diners my whole life. Friendly service, but really POOR food. Got a spinach and feta omlette. When I cut into it, it was so raw inside that a river of stringy albumin ran onto my plate... totally gross. Sent it back. The waffle was like a tasteless, limp dish rag... worst I've ever had. I order oatmeal everywhere. Here it was the worst ever... like a bowl of sticky, tasteless wallpaper paste... I couldn't even finish it... the first time I've ever left any oatmeal (I've eaten it almost daily for over 25 years). The bathrooms are beautiful. All the food I ordered was sub-par in every regard. read more

The Superior has always been a staple in Emmaus, though the building was completely overhauled and the owners changed a few years ago. Don't let the facade fool you, this is basic bland diner food that equals most in the area. I have found the service to be very good. Like most area diners, they do have refrigerated case of huge baked desserts. They also offer wine and beer. I like that the breakfast menu is served all day, like in most diners. Parking is a bit tight and not made for larger cars and trucks. read more

Beautiful place but the food is nothing more than diner food. We have tried it three times now since it renovations several years ago but today was our last. Service on our last three visits has ranged from nasty to passable. Neither the wait staff nor the host/hostess are pleasant or personable. There are so many great places to eat that it is easy to pass on this place. read more

Our photo club has been meeting here for over a few years. We tried a couple of other options but quickly return to Superior--by popular demand. Our group members love the personal service, the good food, attractive decor, comfortable seating, full bar, convenient location and reasonable prices. They are very accommodating to our needs and go the extra mile to make sure we have whatever WE need, not what THEY need. That old customer first thing. They work with us on menu items, separate checks when necessary, and table arrangement. Owners Mike & Steve and all of the waitresses work hard to make sure we're pleased. read more

Best mozzarella sticks I've ever had! And the cheesesteak quesadillas were excellent.

Just had dinner and Gisselle was one of the best waitresses ever. She was right there to take our order and stopped by frequently to make sure everything was good. She made our visit enjoyable. And the food was good too! read more

I can say we have been going here since before it was a "RESTAURANT". The last few times have been rough, as the menu changed again! The price for this quality food is unjustified. Seating is a typical diner. It is always clean. I am not sure what happened here but it went from a real good Diner to a POOR quality restaurant. It seems nothing is prepared fresh. Out of the box into the microwave or deep fryer, the quality of the food is terrible, and portions are a lot smaller. Someone said 'identity crisis", agreed. This food wasn't even close to the quality of Diner food they use to serve here. I am concerned for the future of this place. Overall, it lacks food quality & taste. Poor service, forgetful & not attentive. Bright spot is the deserts are still the same! WONDERFUL! I hope they work it out soon. I will give them 1 more chance. Appetizer, Calamari was OK, fried in old oil, slight aftertaste. Server forgot our soup & salads. Dinner 1. Chicken Mediterranean, by far it was the best meal, a canned sauce with some fresh feta & tomatoes added served over pasta. 2. Chicken Rollatini, frozen breaded stuffed chicken breasts deep fried then baked. Tasted like a seafood dish. 3. Ragin' Cajun Chicken BBQ. Flattened pressed chicken meat no Cajun flavor at all, tasted all BBQ sauce, hidden by some type of cheese. read more

My girlfriend and I had the displeasure of eating at this establishment on 4-14-2015. As you drive down State Road outside of downtown Emmaus, you may think, "Oh, look, that place looks nice". My advice: Get a speeding ticket and go as fast as you can past this place. As soon as we entered the place, our noses were immediately greeted with the fragrance of what smelled like 9 Lives cat food. It was enough to make you turn around, but our conscience got the best of us and we proceeded to sit at our table. Immediately, we were greeted by our waitress, who had multi-colored hair and smelled of Newports. We got our drinks, after much confusion of whether or not the restaurant carried Sierra Mist or Sprite. We then proceeded to order. My girlfriend ordered the London Broil and I ordered the Reuben. After we got our food, it turned into a complete and utter disgusting event that lasted no more than 10 minutes. London Broil was the quality of Alpo dog food. I would rather walk about 2 miles down the road and purchase Moist and Meaty from Weis Supermarket than eat that. The Reuben: I have never in my life eaten pastrami that tasted as bad as that. You may be asking yourselves... "what about the Russian dressing that usually accompanies a Reuben?" How was it? It tasted as if an elderly grandmother dipped her Estee Lauder soaked perfume finger into thousand island dressing. French fries are french fries so no medal to award here either. Overall, stay far, far away from this place. If there was an apocalypse and we miraculously survived, I would eat my own hand before eating at this place. There is nothing "Superior" about this place whatsoever. How in the world there are "banquets" held at this facility is beyond my greatest imagination. My girlfriend would agree to this 150%, but she is currently in the bathroom from the Superior dinner we unfortunately consumed. read more

Very clean, reasonable lunch specials and it's fast! Service was so-so and I felt a little rushed. Other than that, I enjoyed a good quick meal which cost me about the same as a drive through meal. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for decades and have had mixed experiences. However, they have generally been positive. There are also a few "fail-safe" foods here. They include: the salad bar (excellent), soups (especially the lobster bisque), and breakfast. The menu is really extensive. Foods that have been less than average in my experience include: gyros, traditional dinner entrees (roast beef, roast turkey, etc.) The décor has been updated since the 1990s, when large terrariums stood in the alcoves and collected dust and olive pits. Now, the interior is really bright and fancy, as the diner was a "fine dining" restaurant for a little while before becoming an affordable diner again. Overall, it is a nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. read more

Food is decent. Service however, lacks to the extreme. Front counter is in no rush to seat you and quite unpleasant .. The servers are good at first but don't expect a second drink until your done with your meal. You also will sit and wait for your check for a good 20 minutes even if you're in a hurry. If your passing by, keep going. read more

BY FAR, My favorite dinner in the Lehigh Valley! I have tried lots of thing off the menu and have never been let down! Managers are awesome!!!! I have been to two wedding receptions there that ran really smooth and were really really nice. Highly Recommended! Only good things to say about it. Tip: MUST try a grilled blueberry muffin, I don't think its on the menu but it is to die for. read more

This place is really nice. Managers Frank and Mike are extremely cool and the staff is always friendly and provide great service. Cheesy prime rib hero (Yolo!), Italian wedding soup, homemade yogurt and berries, rib eye steak and crab cakes are my go to staples and are delicious. Try their clams casino. Highly recommend those little shells of scrumptousness. read more

Handsome restaurant with the grandest bathrooms in Emmaus, but no hot water in the bathrooms??? Maybe a flook, see for yourself. Anyway, the place is clean, the food fine and the prices reasonable. The service is a little slow at times but I continue to return. My wife cannot get over the lack of hot water in the bathrooms so she prefers to go elsewhere. read more

Everytime I eat here I feel sick. Same old shitty diner food just bland, stale and old food everything tastes like it has freezer burn. I always get sick after I eat here no matter what I order. It's all gross and tasteless. read more

We found ourselves in Emmaus while out antiquing and dropped in to the Superior Restaurant for lunch. The place is large, comfortable, and clean. Everyone was friendly and the service was good. The menu had so many choices that it was hard to decide. Since they serve breakfast all day I opted for a ham, cheese, and tomato omelette which came with home fries and toast. It was great and the portion was quite large. My brother had the southern chicken sandwich special but said it didn't have much taste. My sister-in-law enjoyed her crab cake sandwich. My partner had the mushroom omelette which was loaded with mushrooms and very good. We asked for separate checks and the server got one item mixed up but that was no big deal. All in all, I would recommend the restaurant. read more

Whenever we are looking for a place to go that we can get a good, quick & cheap meal we always go to Superior. We really enjoy that they serve breakfast 24 hours and also have a bar that you can order drinks from if you choose to do an entree for dinner. We have ordered all types of things from here such as breakfast, appetizers and even seafood special and have never been disappointed! read more

Great family owned restaurant! Good food and service. Great for dining in or events!

We love it here. The family that owns the restaurant is amazing and they truly care about their customers. It's nice to see business owners who really care about what they do and how they do it. Breakfast is a must here. read more

My family and I frequent Superior regularly and are always happy with their food and happy and pleasant staff. However their being open on Thanksgiving is going well above the call of duty. The staff is happy and welcoming. Thanks for giving us a place to go when you just don't want to cook. read more
