I love this diner! I took my daughters here for a late dinner after boating and the food, atmosphere, and service was perfect! Heather, our server, was fun and personable. She made us feel welcome with some smiles, compliments, and great advice on the specials for the day. I had a delicious wrap while the kids had burgers. She even made a fun lemonade cocktail for the girls to make them feel special. This is a great place to eat and share some smiles! This will be our new stop on the way back from the lake for now on!
I ordered online for curbside pickup, It was a complete nightmare of an ordering system, and didnt inform you they were out of things until I tired to finish, but its not the end of the world.I showed up and there was no curbside pickup, I had to go in.I entered five minutes after the order said it would be ready. It took ten minutes to get help, and the food wasnt ready, but they said it would be out in two or three minutes.My food came out 40 minutes after the scheduled pick up time.I should have checked the order but I was frustrated and wanted to go home.When I got home, my homes fries and scrapple were missing. My eggs were covered in marina which was not included on the order. My panini wasnt a panini, it was a hamburger bun, and had coleslaw on it. It was missing the cheese.With exception of the side of mac and cheese (which was fantastic) everything was awful.Avoid this dump.
The food was good. Our bartender/ waiter(gentleman) was very good just overwhelmed. Sirloin cooked perfect. Coconut shrimp yummy. I know its hard getting help nowadays. Hang in there guys.
Really good food! My waiter Keith was exactly what restaurants need! My other half and daughter will tell me if they don’t like a place and service, not a peep from neither!We recommend this restaurant with 5 stars across the board.
Amazing! Prices are kind if high for a diner but worth it!! Best soup and salad bar EVER! Great staff.
When I say I had a great experience I mean I had a really excellent time at the Exeter Family Resaurant. We were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server Blanca was absolutely AMAZING!!! She was so friendly and bubbly with a big personality. I love that in someone. She provided excellence in customer service all the way. Our food came fairly quickly which was great because we were starving. The amount of food we received for $22 was pretty enormous! The food was good and the service was the best Ive had. You now have a customer for life. Blanca works Sunday mornings make sure you go see her.😉 Thanks for the great experience.
Its an all-around decent spot with good hour coverage, meaning its one of the few diners you can still enjoy late into the night. Some meals get very pricey, however. The quality of the food is about what youd expect.
Food is average at best. The senior special menu is expensive compared to others in the area. Dont understand the high ratings here-the veggie of the day is your only choice. Most places give you st least three. But i guess thats the price you pay for eating in such a high class area of the county.
I meet people here on a regular basis. Im always very satisfied with my food and service. The quality to price is always in the customers favor. Beer, wine, and liquor available which is rare in a Diner. Clean dining room, and food comes at an expected time considering they are always busy! (A Testament to how awesome they are)
Food was great and extremely well priced! I would try the donut french toast if you get a chance. Staff also extremely friendly and accurate with wait times.
Service was great. The food was not so good. I ended up getting sick from the food that day into the next day. That was one of my first times having breakfast there. Not sure I’ll be back.
Waitress was amazing as usual. Food was hot and delicious and it came out quick. Got the donut French toast it was scrumptious.
Excellent food. Great portions for the price. Service was excellent as well. Overall nice old fashioned diner experience!!!!
Always the best, food was awesome, service was phenomenal.
Been coming here for some time, originally dine in and now take out due to COVID. Their food is almost always great (dont order the turkey club).However, its the wait for check out that is the most painful. One guy or girl on the register for the entire place. I was happy when the bar could check out for take out orders, as when youve got hot food ready to take home, the last thing that you need is to stand in a line 12 tables deep just to pay for the food thats in your hand.Get a better way to manage checking out. One register just aint doing it.
Service was amazing and despite being busy I got my delicious food in a timely manner
Have had better service in years past. It seems as if socializing was more important for staff with one another and attitudes over heard from the younger staff can be improved.Food was not as good as pre-pandemic times. Waitress forgot to bring jellies for the breakfasts that were ordered, the hollandaise sauce was seperated and lad a layer of oil on top, and the toast was stale prior to being toasted.
Local eatery, friendly workers, family owned, nice salad bar. Good place to take the family for breakfast or brunch on the weekends. Always clean and mindful of restrictions, warmer weather they offer outside tables. One of the few places Ive taken my family to eat throughout the pandemic.
Soup and salad bar was clean and the offering were fresh. Our waitress was very kind. Food was very tasty, especially for the price. Would indeed recommend this to anyone looking for good food. These kinds of places are hard to come by nowadays.
My experience is poor, from the cook thinking that that a fried egg was the same as scrambled to the man ringing people up at the register more interested in taking the register apart to fix it then moving to the bar register to ring up customers. (He finally did after about 10 minutes). I wont be going back!
The waitress we had was amazing she made you feel like part of the family. Food was delicious and the salad bar was well stocked well be back lee Sallade
Always fast and friendly service. The food is always on point. The salad bar has a great selection!
Terrific diner located just outside of a Reading. Good sized portions, great service. Very tasty french onion soup.
We love this spot. Food is awesome and the service is on point. My wife and I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here.
Visiting PA from NJ my neice suggested this place and she was spot on. Delicious breakfast and very fresh oj and coffee. Food was served quick and we were party of 8. Only issue floor was slippery felt like ice skating ring but next time in PA will make it a point to return
Asked for a cold turkey wrap. This is my 3rd try. Got shredded warm turkey that was soggy and tasted horrible. How hard is it to get a turkey wrap?! Its just a turkey club in a wrap instead of bread! It was disgusting. Doesnt even deserve 1 star but it wouldnt let me put negative 5 stars!
Usually it is very good. Tonight not so good. Meal was dry and potatoes under cooked. Out take out order was over charged they forgot the desert and drink
We moved to the area and wanted to try a new place. It was so disappointing. Pork chops were burned and it was extremely expensive for what we got. Would not recommend at all.
Great service on a busy day! Excellent food! Thank you Yvonne!
Good food only 1 server so kinda slow but what do you want at 330 am on a Saturday
Always packed on a Sunday but the staff all hustle n the food is always good..
I went to Exeter Family Restaurant today with my family and I was having a really bad day. So glad we had Keith as our server today because he helped turn this day around for me and my family. I have been to E-Fam multiple times in the past however today was the best experience I have had there. The food came out quickly and it was amazing the rib-eye was cooked perfectly, it was juicy, tender and very well seasoned. Shot out to the chef who was cooking June 19th 2021 at dinner time!!!
Excellent food and very good service.I have zero complaints and we do go here quite often.
Five stars because food and waitress were excellent but the host if he smiled his face would Crack. Je needs to smile when greeting guests.
First time ever going there and it was AMAZING!!!Our waiter was named George and he was so sweet. Thanks for the best experience :)
Eggs Benedict the hollandaise sauce was broken...kinda greasy, but ok. Hash browns were like small Arbys potato cakes; only get 2. Not horrible but I expected real hash browns.
Good food and great service. Very pleasant place to eat!!!
Good food for a dinner. Very clean and nice service.
Got the Rancher Omellete, coffee, and loose cannon ipa it was really good! Beer is ice cold, better than most bars and Ive been to a few! Do yourself a favor and stoo by!
A group of us ate breakfast here. The food was really good, large portions at a reasonable price and they have a great variety!
Horrible customer service. Older lady comes to take our order my girlfriend orders first then I order finish my order and my girlfriend tries to tell the waitress she would also like a Shirley temple and before she could even finish the waitress was very rude in her comment. So we got up I offered to pay for the drinks and headed to chili’s.
The best diner in the Reading area by far. Ive always had great food and service every time Ive come here.
Was still truly open 24hrs. Food was served fast and was great. Tired 2 other establishments closer to home first that said they were 24 hours but were closed at 4:45am. So Exeter Dinner will always be my go to early breakfast spot from hear on out even tho it’s a little further. Staff was friendly and always checking to make sure I had everything I needed.
It was awesome. Very reasonable prices. Very welcoming and great waitresses.Their menu has something for everyone. with generous portions. They offer a very impressive build your own omelet. I added avocado to mine it was delicious. Next time I go Im getting the avocado toast.I felt covid safe, it is very clean you can see they take no short cuts when it comes to the safety of everyone.You will not be disappointed .
The service was great. My meal was excellent. I will definitely go back.
We had to wait for utensils, there was nothing washed. The food was just plain, not really a taste, and very dry. I felt bad that the waitress had two parties of 12 ppl and couldnt keep up. However she held it together and was super nice.
The wait staff are great and the food has been consistently delicious. The coffee is always fresh no matter what time I come in to dine.
Love this diner! Salad bar is fantastic, soups are good. Cant beat the nostalgia and the food is awesome. Prices are borderline cheap!
Love this place. Variety of food, staff was excellent, courteous. Great customer service
The service and waitress was great and the meal was delicious.
Best salad bar around. Senior citizen prices a bit steep
The breakfast was so very good. The eggs tasted so fresh. I loved it!!!!
We like this restaurant for comfort food and their breakfastsUsually the s err device is fastToday however it wasnt as fast even tho it was not crowdedThe food is always goodHopefully when this covid issue is gone the salad and soup bar will reopenAs they have a great choice if salad fixingsAnd choice of two excellent soups and a few slice your self leaves if bread
Always good. Go to dinner. Be going bnb there for years.
One of my favorites! Love the Mac & cheese! But everything is good!
Havent been here in many years but it was still filled with really friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious
Decent food, but they definitely need more staff
Our favorite diner. Great food, great salad bar. Just after it reopened from Covid, I saw several patrons without masks, mostly sitting at the counter or picking up food, and that kept us away for awhile. I saw on their website that they are now certified in following CDC guidelines, so we tried it again. They now have signs up requiring masks, and everyone followed the rules. Well definitely be back.
I highly recommend this family owned business! It is so so important to support them now more than ever. I had some serious pregnancy cravings and called to order - although all my interaction was via phone I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming and hospitable the lady I spoke to was. I felt like family. Thank you for the great experience! We will definitely be back!
I had moldy bread and asked for french toast, my waiter gave me pancakes and blamed the situation rudely on me she never checked in on me and my fiancé and we were 1 of 4 people there (which by the way she waited on them perfectly always asking how they were and filling their cups we never had our cups filled and when we asked she never gave it) I ordered stir fry IT TASTED HORRIBLE and I only had one bite and asked her to take it off my receipt and she said she couldnt do that which is a lie then because I have had other waiters take things off my bill before and after a horrible experience im not tipping because she was rude and barely waited on us she gives herself a gratuity tip im so beyond angry!!!! I feel disrespected and im honestly disappointed.
Very nice waitress. Food was excellent.
Large menu! Great food, great atmosphere! We eat here often. Open 24 hrs! Theyre keeping the diner experience alive in PA!
Very welcoming family. Clean place, friendlyEmployees. Food is great!!!!! Being coming for year always the same serve. Top #1
Cheap food, good food, fast service. What more can you ask for?
Food was good, the staff and food is slow though
Weve eaten here 5 or 6 times and really wanted to love it, but the food is consistently disappointing. Most recently I ordered the Aiden Panini, and it was just a sandwich on flatbread. It was not pressed, which is literally the definition of a Panini (and in the menu description). My husband ordered the Chicken Pot Pie which was on the specials menu, and it was sauce in a bowl with very little chicken and vegetables, and weird slabs of dough, which I guess are considered thick hand rolled noodles. One would expect a pastry top on Chicken Pot Pie but no. Previously, weve had the meatloaf and pulled pork which were both not great. The mac & cheese was good, the salad bar is nice and the staff has always been friendly, but there are too many restaurants in the area to keep being disappointed by mediocre food.
Best sea food combo Ive found yet. Only been in the area for 7 months.Keep up the great work.
This has been a regular breakfast meeting place for me and friends I used to work withIt was so good to see it open again even if it was just with picnic tables outside.Everybody seemed happy to be working again. Beautiful day.Update:.. The food is still great but we have found another place to meet for breakfast. Every time we go in there MSNBC or the Crazy Nancy Network is on. I would never have them on in my home so Im not going to sit by them in a restaurant. There was a fight in there one day over news stations. I wish they would put on neutral stations such as Home and garden. Going from five down to three stars.
Lunch was very good. Waitress was prompt and very friendly.
Great build your own Burger bar
Good diner to say the least, love it there. The staff are friendly, decisive in getting your order, and pleasant. Food is absolutely phenomenal.
The food was good but most of all we love the waitress and I would go back just to be her customer again her name was Sandy and reminded me of my sister-in-law we lost it years ago but that day was a beautiful day because I felt I was with her again!THANK YOU AGAIN Sandy......
Nice people work there the best diner in Exeter
Nice atmosphere, great waitress and excellent food.
Food is wonderful & the salad bar is great. U can order from the from the senior menu u can eat your salad there & take your hot meat home. All for $9.99 plus tax. Or order whatever you want still great food.
I love love Exeter dinner. Every time stop by is like stopping by a family member house. Always happy to meet the staff and always leaving with a full stomach
Excellent service and food. Top notch.
Absutly loved it only place my husband and I have been around where we lived that we WILLL RETUEN TO!!!
Went to lunch here with 2 friends. Everything was great!
Awesome diner, staff are very helpful. Food is great. They also have a variety of adult drinks/beers available
Good food andservice. Decent prices. Has a bar.
Great breakfast. Fast, hot food. Good service.
Big menu, very clean, delicious food and excellent service.
Food was great, but was very crowded. Still only waited 25 min, but they have a great process of taking numbers and texting when you can be seated.
Always a nice little dining experience here: even after covid restrictions and all. A definite must stop when wanting some decent family cooked food.
Enjoyed the shepards pie tonight
They give you plenty to eat. Great salad bar.
Great food. Great service and a very clean place.
Good food and great service.
