This is the absolute worst place I have ever eaten at. My husband and I stayed at one of the hotels near by and thought to try them out. The only good thing about the diner was our waitress and the salad. The food had no flavor, and tasted old. You are better off going elsewhere and save your stomachs...we were sick after eating here. Then there were flies, now I understand sometimes you'll see flies on occasion but these were flies as in multiple flies...not good. It's too bad the food was horrible, the staff seemed nice and we did get good service. I would not recommend them. But if you go, I tried to warn you. read more

Had lunch with friends. Wonderful service. Two people had the pot pie which they said was wonderful. I had moussaka (the portion was huge 4x4x3). It was good but a little bland. Rice pudding for dessert... OMG... so good!!! The restaurant is bright and clean, just a nice experience. read more

We were on our way home and looking for a place to eat. We whipped around to come here and it was worth it! All homemade food! I had a chicken wrap and my husband had the spanakopita with a greek salad. Loved it. Lots of choices. We will definitely come here again. read more

I ordered eggs and bacon, I requested fresh bacon not the bacon that was cooked hours before and sitting under the warmer. The menu advertised toast and jelly, got the toast but no jelly to be found. Back to the bacon when it came it was not fresh but they did go to the trouble of putting it on it's own plate to give it the "fresh" look. kinda like putting lipstick on a pig. Needless to say but I will we will not be back here too many other decent places to get good food! read more

Omg! We had the best waitress, named dawn . !!!I'm a picky eat and I like this but not that and she got it right first time around. I made up my breakfast : fr toast , meat and sunny side up and toast done twice . She nailed it. A keeper read more

Finally! A great diner! Make your meal even more enjoyable by asking for Maureen. She is spot on every time. We all know how many times we dont get what we order, right? No cheese. No onions, etc. Well, Maureen won't disappoint. Great menu, great food, awesome service. Thor read more

I had Marisa as my server, she was fantastic. Got my order perfect. Definitely will be back, hopefully I can get Marisa again. She's great!!! read more

The food, is great. I enjoyed it. 1 star.. for 2 things.. 1) there is no social distancing. Its nerve wrecking. 2) they charge for refills of sodas. It's not written anywhere. The poor waitress is like I have to do what the head guy says. And they fill the cups full of ice. After asking, the mngr said buy 1, get 1. Um... no. And the coffee is free refils, but it does not say thay either. not coming back. Luckys is much better, as well as goobers. read more

The food was great. I got the beef tips special that came with the salad and a dessert, and it was delightful. My girlfriend got the Texas burger, which she said was delicious, and the fries that came with it were the perfect consistency. The restaurant itself looks great; they played great music and it was really clean and looked almost brand new. But perhaps the best part was our waiter, Dominic. He was quick, helpful, attentive, and full of life and personality. Easily one of the best waiters I've ever had; this guy clearly loves his job and makes sure all of the guests are properly taken care of. read more

Fast service and tasty food in a comfortable and friendly setting. We got French Dip and fries and it was delicious. Our waiter, Randy, was super attentive. Finished up with Cherry Pie. It was really good and not too sweet. read more

I'm vegan, so I don't expect to get a lot of entree choices when I go to a diner, but it was worse than pathetic here. I ordered the veggie burger deluxe, which was an extremely overcooked generic, reheated from frozen, piece of cardboard. It came with two, right from a frozen food bag and refried onion rings. worst diner food ever. My daughter had their beef stroganoff, which was a special. There was nothing special about it. Disgusting, overcooked big hunks of beef on a bed of noodles. save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Plenty to eat! Huge portions of food. Pricing is fair and good customer service. I'd recommend it!

Went Brandywine Diner, N. Wilm. at 1pm lunch on Grand-Parents Day, Sun. 9/10/23 2 sets grand-parents and 2 grand-daughters 9 & 11. They were very busy. Got sat pretty quickly at a large round table, which was nice. Us adults had not seen each other in several months so trying to say our hellos & grands hello kisses for all 6 of us. Server arrived at our table quickly for drink orders. When drink delivered server asked if we had selected our meals. Told him we had been just sat. Needed more time to look menu over. He came back in reasonable time & we ordered. Meals came out pretty quickly. I ordered Avacado Toast. Toast was not hot or warm. Cold. My husband's home fries were not very warm, but he said tasted okay. Server did come & check on us for some time When he did come to check on us he was gracious & did coffee, hot chocolates, tea refills. Noticed bus employees were hanging around looking to see if we were finished eating. After table was cleared, server came back with our bill. One friend did say we had not seen each other & not ready to leave. Server was okay with that. Like I said, they were very busy and we felt a little rushed. Possibly they did not have enough servers, runners, bussing people, so maybe they were feeling rushed also. Still a issue with not enough help. All in all food was good. Their dessert glass counter looked wonderful. . I would go back. read more

The staff at Brandywine Diner were more than willing to accommodate our large party (20+) with such short notice. The vast menu allowed our guests to select something to their liking and the staff was very friendly as well as attentive. Thank you! read more

Best in the area. They do a great breakfast, a lot of the entrees are typical diner fair, nothing special. Fortunately, breakfast is offered all day. Never had poor service. read more

I had dinner last night at The Brandywine Diner. The food was great, but the server, Dominick made the meal a superb experience. He was high energy, engaging, funny and went above and beyond to make our experience second to none. We enjoyed his bantering with us mixed with his professional knowledge of the menu made it a great evening. Do yourself a favor ask for Dominick to be your server, he will not let you down. I really felt the need to write this...a great meal because of Dominick! read more

Seated quickly. Huge menu, have tried several items. We like 2 servers, so we always ask for them, a husband/wife team. The food is very good. Have tried their Lentil soup& chicken noodle soup. Also their shrimp & chicken salad are excellent! read more

Lunch on Wednesday we were seated immediately with very fast service glad we stopped here instead of the TGI Fridays if ever back in Wilmington area would return their cakes & dessert look amazing read more

At the diner on 3-1 for dinner arrived at 7:30. The manager at the cash register is aloof and playing on his phone. Meanwhile, the staff are gathering in small clusters having private conversations. One patron left disgusted because 10 minutes after being seated they hadn't even seen a wait person. We waited 30 minutes for our food and so did another table. Food was luke warm when it arrived. Somebody had better start caring about the quality of food and service because this was our favorite diner. But after tonight, I doubt we ever return. What a shame. As we were getting ready to leave we overhear the guy at the register saying his cousin owns the diner. Well the cousin better wake the &&""@ up and fire some folks before his entire investment is washed down the Brandywine. Someone has a ton of money tied up in a sinking ship. read more

Dawn was so attentive and took great care of our large table. Food was delicious and inexpensive for the generous portions.

Dawn was wonderful. Very attentive with her service! She is sweet and when my daughter wanted to change her food she didn't bat an eye and just said no problem! read more

Food was great. I really like the breakfasts. Dawn our server was the best. We had a big group & Dawn was very agreeable & got our order just right!! We will definitely be back. read more

We had breakfast here on our way out of town. My French toast was OMG! Napoleon French toast with bananas, strawberries and walnuts. It was so good. I ate it before I thought to take a photo. And all you need to do is look at the dessert case to know this is a great place! read more

I went to Brandywine Diner for the first time I'm from Philadelphia and we have diners everywhere that being said this diner is good I had the banana pancakes they're pretty good and the prices was reasonable read more

We were craving some old-fashioned comfort food and we were not disappointed. What made it extra was the amazing service we received from Dawn, our server. She was so friendly, kind, attentive, and enthusiastic - she made our meal such an enjoyable experience. She clearly cares about her customers' experience (so refreshing these days!) Her service is what will make us go back. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. And the deserts were very good looking although i was full so i didnt try them. Great diner and spot to eat. Keep it up. read more

This diner has great food!!! It's very large, bright and clean with a pleasing atmosphere. It is typical large menu and generous portions and fairly reasonable prices for a diner. Service is also very good. I had something new for me the first time there, authentic Greek Moussaka(I hope I spelled that correctly), which was a very delicious meal, though quite heavy and filling. Definitely leftovers taken home!!! Second time I tried their beef pot roast. Excellent! The gravy was so tasty! Anxious to go again and take my husband! read more

Great food. Fantastic service. Clean! I've enjoyed everything each time I have visited.

One and done for us. Took 10 minutes for our very unhappy waitress to take our drink order. Took another 30 minutes to get our meal. Told both the waitress and the young girl at the cash register that our dinner was not great, no one cared to ask for additional information. I got the chicken croquettes, zero flavor but the corn was delicious. Husband got the burger medium well, came out killed 3 times. He did love the pickles though. Will not be returning. read more

I was treated poorly by not only the head cashier, but also his girlfriend as well. After having been at Brandywine diner for so long, I just don't know how people can suddenly change; especially in the fashion that they do. read more

Three of us dined there last Friday and we each enjoyed our meal. Two got Omellettes and I go Vegetable LaSagna. The atmosphere is lovely. It is large and well designed. We had a lovely waitress named Dawn who was just delightful and accommodating. She made good suggestions and did much to make our time there absolutely delightful. read more

Really good. Diner food done well. I'm from the area but about 30 minutes away. I go here. Nothing like this near me. They wear masks and as safe as can be. read more

No. No. No. There is no reason to be disappointed. Old potatoes were on the griddle for a minimum of 1 hour before I plopped a foot on the floor. Bread was toasted before and cold and soggy. Chipped beef was mediocre at best. Never again. read more

Didn't like this at all. Toast was cold, potatoes burned and hard, Italian sausage was precooked and not fresh. Only thing decent was eggs but who can mess up eggs. Prefer Goobers Diner in Wilmington. All food was top quality. Won't be coming back. read more

Our waitress Carla was so nice and attentive. She checked in on us throughout our meal to make sure everything is okay. I loved that. Because some waiters/waitresses serve you and then disappear leaving you to hunt them down if you need anything extra. But she was never far. The food was great. Such a huge selection. I enjoyed the calamari and lasagna. The restaurant was very clean and well lit. The next time I go to Delaware I'm definitely heading back there! read more

This is a GREAT diner, and I'm from Long Island (the home of the diner! ;) There are a LOT of options, the food is always fresh, and the staff is polite. We have always ordered take out, but the restaurant is clean, and the staff abides by COVID cleanliness policies. I have never had a bad meal here, and my diner standards are exceptionally high. Hoping to see the menu and the hours continue to grow!! read more

Had to make last minute plan for Christmas dinner due to a power outage. They were open and took good care of us. Kitchen was slower than usual only because they were making meals for the linemen restoring power. Happy to wait for them. Good food and our server Carla was terrific. Thanks Brandywine Diner and Carla. read more

Our family has been talking about coming here ever since it opened. We love the classic look of a stainless diner and this place looks spectacular from the outside. Once you get inside however the place seems quite boring like a firehouse banquet hall. None the less we looked over the extensive menu for something desirable. I'm a big fan of flounder stuffed with crab meat, which was probably the most expensive thing on the menu. Three of us actually order it at $24 each. What a waste of my $72. Dry, luke warm, tasteless and far less than fresh. The vegetables were terrible and the deserts that came with the meal were cheap and the cake was dry. Tapioca was good and so were the fries. We also got a burger and that wasn't good either. With so many decent restaurants in the area, this place will be off the radar for us. The food is nowhere near worth the visit or the price. read more

I'm pretty sure my steak was made out of horse and my crab meat was melted toe nails. Our server was nice and she was attentive but I would never get seafood, steak or any type of meat from this restaurant again. If I ever do come back it'll be for breakfast. read more
