My manager suggested this diner for lunch and it was definitely a good choice for lunch. They offer plenty of options and the portions are very good. I ordered a turkey sandwich and chips. The sandwich was really good and pretty big for me. I was able to save half of it and it at another time. They offer different sides and I got the homemade chips. The chips were perfect cut and salted. I would definitely recommend them and order from them again when I'm in the area. read more

I'm visiting some friends in Philly and found Classic Diner on maps looking for a brunch spot. The three of us tried it together for the first time this morning, and loved it! It's a little crowded but comfortable and clean. I was able to get gluten free nutella stuffed french toast which was sooo good. My friends got (non gf) stuffed french toasts, and one side each, plus we got two cappuccinos and a chai with almond milk. The total including tip was $80 which is really not bad for the quality. read more

On advice of our Airbnb host we went to Classic Diner to start our Thanksgiving week vacation. It was a great suggestion! We were quickly seated in the charming country home decor. Team servers were all friendly and attentive. Food came out very quickly. I had scrambled eggs with apple sausage. The hint of apple in the sausage was uniquely delicious. The everything bagel sub for toast was...everything. Plenty of food and great service at a reasonable cost gives Classic Diner 5 stars! read more

The outdoor seating area is amazing. Inside seemed crowded and loud. But come on a sunny day, you won't regret it. The omelette was excellent but the ingredients are à la carte so can get pricey quick. Well worth it. The thick cut bacon is a delight. Finally, I'm more of a hash browns lover than a home fries guy. But the seasoning on these home fries is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have had breakfast here twice in June. My dog is being treated for sarcoma at nearby Blue Pearl Malvern PA. Atmosphere is cozy. Servers are always friendly and super efficient. My dining partner said her breakfast was the best she has ever had. The coffee is good. I ordered both times an omelette with spinach, white cheddar, herbs, and portobellos and homefries no toast. My dining partner ordered lump crab eggs benedict. We shared one slice of french toast on the side. It was very good. read more

The food is excellent. I had the maple sausage which was bursting with flavor & hotcakes that tasted very good. They were not light & fluffy but they were good. I did not care for the potatoes which were a little bit on the dry side. My friend loved the bacon & pancakes. The service was great. It was fast paced & the Servers were helpful, welcoming and professional. The restaurant itself is like a narrow winding maze which is in need of expansion & The parking left a lot to be desired because there is a small lot that is very tight & does not hold enough vehicles. read more

My first time here was not a disappointment. Wait staff was courteous and polite, no rush at all in ordering. I often try dishes I enjoy at other diners, this time was the classic Eggs Benedict. Told them I might be here a bit (my wife had a doctor appointment locally) and they said no problem at all. Ambiance is not what you expect from a diner, rather, it felt like a welcoming Bistro environment. Would definitely recommend whenever you're in Malvern! read more

Classic Diner - Classic Eggs Benedict! - Diners Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

All the food was delicious at very reasonable prices! In the portobello sandwich the roasted peppers were amazing but the mushroom was too thick. The french toast was fantastic however there were a lot of bananas. The prosciutto sandwich was delicious, the bread was crunchy, the pesto was great, and the mozzarella was super moist but there was too much prosciutto I couldn't eat it all. The corned beef and pulled pork sandwiches were good, no complaints but nothing spectacular either. The service was a little bit slow but it was very busy during lunch time which speaks to the quality of the restaurant. Overall the word is abundance, but I will say that's better than not enough! read more

Working in the area and someone recommended I go to the Classic Diner for breakfast, and it was a great experience. Food was awesome, I prefer hash browns over home fries, but they were still very good. Caroline was awesome, she was in top of things without just hanging around too, she's a great server. The feel of this diner was very north easterny feeling, it was a very enjoyable experience! read more

The food was good to great!! BUT the restaurant is NOT handicap friendly at ALL! Many steps to go in, step down to another level, step up to go the the bathroom I guess as a customer that needs a little help, I'd think twice to return, SAD! read more

The French toast options are fun and reasonable prices but the build your own omelet is $$$ prices. 3 toppings and our omelet was easily $20. The pancake and waffle toppings are à la cart and 3.25 each fruit so my kids two topping pancakes were $$. We haven't been here in a while but I def don't recall it being this expensive last time. I understand prices have gone up but we haven't been to a lot of the breakfast places in this area and have not been as shocked at the prices at other places. Most places the pancakes include toppings as do the omelets. You can get a 3 topping omelet for 12-15 at most other breakfast places. read more

Service is always top-notch at the Classic Diner. With it's homey interior and close knit seating you have that sense of community, coupled with the servers always knowing your name and stopping by to check on or just to say hello if you are not in their section. Not that will prevent them from seeing to whatever needs or requests you may have. Unfortunately I do not have any photos, but I will say the portions are generous and the food is always well seasoned. We have never had cause to complain or not want to return! read more

Food was WONDERFUL! The portion was huge and everything was FRESH! The service was great and the ambiance was cozy. I will definitely return for brunch... all the plates on everyone's tables looked amazing. read more

*Indoor dining review* I've heard about "The Classic Diner" for quite awhile now, finally got a chance to try it. For the most part, everything's really good apart from couple minor issues. Restaurant: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Parking: Free parking lot (Limited Parking) ~Restaurant~ Restaurant itself looked small from the outside, but they have good seating arrangement, you don't feel cramped once you're sitting down inside. Alternatively they have couple tables outdoor (covered) for anyone that wants to nice weather outside. I would also suggest going early, so the wait isn't too long. We went around 9:30AM and were seated right away. ~Service~ Staff are friendly and somewhat attentive. ~Food~ All the food we ordered are pretty good. What we ordered: -Omelette with avocado, salsa, sun dried tomatoes and pepper jack cheese. (Eggs and most of the fillings are cooked nicely and very flavorful, bread is nicely toasted and buttered. But the cheese was not melted properly, so it turns into just a glob of cheese, I would most likely skip on the cheese next time. The potatoes are slightly overcooked, a bit tough. -Bacon (Can't go wrong with bacon, cooked nicely) -Belgian waffle with Berries. (It is good, apart from Waffle is a little dense) -Belgian waffle with Banana and Walnut. (Same story. After having some delicious light and fluffy Belgian waffles from another breakfast/brunch restaurant, I think we were expecting the same) In conclusion, I would go again, since the food is pretty good for the most part, service is good. Although I might modify my order a bit next time around. read more

We tried out the classic diner yesterday for brunch/lunch before leaving Malvern - ordered chicken tenders, crab cake sandwich, and a tuna melt. I was eyeing one of the ahi tuna sandwiches (the BLT sounded great) but opted for the crab cake instead. We got everything to-go, but our hotel was very close and we ate everything almost immediately. Tuna melt is the winner here and really pulls the weight for the review - best I've ever had. Tuna salad was fresh tasting and a little on the dry side (without tons if mayo, but that's how I prefer it) and was SMOTHERED in melty, cheesy goodness and topped with tomatoes. Open faced, and one side of the sandwich is enough for one person. I'm going to dream about this tuna melt and need to find one close to me in Western PA. Crab cake was big, but overall a little disappointing. It was very soft and the crab was very finely ground. On the sandwich, it just kinda tasted like you were eating mush. The sauce was delicious though. For almost $19 for the sandwich, I was left wanting more. Tenders were ok- they're homemade and panko crusted and fried which was the draw for me. They were a little dry but good. I subbed ranch instead of bbq and wasn't a big fan of the ranch- it was fluffy and seemed to be very heavy on the sour cream but light on the seasoning. Staff was very friendly and food was done quick despite the restaurant being busy at lunch time. Would go back for the tuna melt in a heartbeat next time i'm in Malvern, but I'll be skipping the crab cake and tenders. read more

Classic Diner is our go-to for breakfast. Coffee is brewed fresh and is delicious. Food is tasty - obviously prepared with freshest ingredients- is served with little wait time, and portions are generous. Staff is friendly, attentive, and ensures cleanliness. It is nice to have a local place that feels homey but upscale at the same time. read more

Classic, but upscale, breakfast. I substituted Canadian bacon for pork roll which resulted in a perfect Eggs Benedict. A crowded restaurant space which is just fine by me. read more

11/24/22 Review of Catered Thanksgiving Only We decided to have Thanksgiving cooked for us. Last years debacle- Founding Farmers - I heard was horrendous, expensive and the food was awful- the turkey was tough and chewy from that restaurant. Classic Diner from what I know has catered meals at my company, they've done weddings and many events. This company came highly recommended to my mom from a friend. Classic Diner did not disappoint!! My mom picked up this massive meal from the warehouse in West Chester. The employees helped her load the car as well which was very much appreciated. I would recommend heating the food much longer than the directions say- especially if you order the 20 person meal. The turkey was carved, succulent and delicious, presented nicely browned with rosemary, cranberries and citrus. We ordered the cinnamon sweet potatoes that were so delicious and tasted great with nutmeg infused into the recipe. There may have been walnuts in those- great texture and taste! We ordered delicious whipped potatoes, the green beans with pearl onions (Al dente), the herbed stuffing was really splendid too and my dad's favorite part- the gravy was rich and delicious. I would highly recommend this as an option if you aren't up for cooking the whole Thanksgiving meal! No yucky carcass to pick through and leftovers galore! Excellent and high quality food! Don't hesitate but get your order in early. read more

Love this place, always crowded, always the best brunch or breakfast around. Love the coffee.

Stopped by for Sunday breakfast and had a good experience overall. The parking lot is small, but cars turned over fairly regularly. We probably waited about 5 min before we were able to get a spot around 10:30 on a Sunday morning. We subsequently waited another 30 min for a table for 4 --- they have a very small indoor space that serves as the entryway and the space for waiting, so we opted to sit in the car since it was a bit chilly outside. Their menu includes all of the classic breakfast options (egg platters, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches) with a "create your own" kind of vibe, though I think having a few featured combinations would have been nice to avoid overthinking and the countless upcharges for each added ingredient. I opted for an omelette with a mix of veggies and cheddar, which was stuffed with a large amount of veggies and served with a reasonable portion of well-seasoned breakfast potatoes. My accompanying multigrain toast was a little cold and not particularly well-buttered, so I didn't bother to finish this. Overall, a solid dish. Others at the table tried the smoked salmon scramble (had more salmon than egg if that's your thing!) and the breakfast sandwiches. The roasted pepper and pesto breakfast sandwich was more of an open-faced toast, but it was a large portion and looked delicious. We shared an order of the brioche French toast, which came with a delicious cinnamon butter --- the perfect sweet treat to round out the meal. Definitely a good, no-frills breakfast option. read more

I LOVE the food here! The menu is awesome and it's a cute little spot. Service is always really fast. They have the best chia seed pudding. I have tried to recreate it many times to no avail. They definitely bring the chia seed magic! read more

Going there since they opened 30 years ago. The food is fantastic but the service has been consistently pathetic for 30 years. They can't get the order right because they can't wait to get back to watching videos and talking and texting about anything but their work. The servers massively do a disservice to their great hard working cooks read more

We went to breakfast at Classic Diner this weekend and anticipated a wait but we only ended up waiting about 20 min - not bad for a Sunday. I had been looking forward to getting an omelette but could not justify the price of the add-ons! An omelette starts around $8 and then each add-on (cheese, veggies, meat) is anywhere from $1 to $4. Plus they are charging a surcharge for eggs. I would've ended up with a $15 to $20 omelette! That is crazy expensive, particularly for a diner. I ended up getting French toast instead, which was good but not what I had been looking forward to eating. Classic Diner needs to fix their prices! read more

I had driven someone to a graduation rehearsal at Immaculata University, and I needed a morning coffee. I also something to accompany that coffee. I followed recommendations and took a short drive to the Classic. The staff was quite friendly and efficient. The Lavazza was just what you'd expect with Lavazza: first-rate. The blueberry was huge. (I had to skip lunch later, as I was still full.) It was also quite tasty, arguably one of the best blueberry muffins I've ever had. It came on a plate with two types of butter and a spread of fresh blueberries festooning the plate. When the bill came, I was surprised at what a good value it was. (The muffin and its price were listed on the menu. My only quibble about the Classic is the size of the place. When I was making my way to the restroom, I had to dodge back and forth between tables and even had one minor collision with two servers because the space was too tight. (One of the servers taking plates back to the kitchen for cleaning ran into me, as the other backed up into me.) It's probably best to sit at one of the tables near the door and be highly cautious if you need to make a trek to the restrooms. read more

This Classic Diner is a go-to breakfast spot for me. The food is always consistently good, the orange juice so fresh and the service is great.

Adorable little diner with incredible food and quick service! I brought my mom here for Mother's Day (without a reservation). It was obviously packed, but we had the option to wait only 10 minutes for a table, or go sit at the little bar immediately, so we did that. Our waitress was very sweet, and the food came out super quick, and both the coffee and the food was amaaaazing. And to my surprise, for the both of us, was $35! I highly recommend trying this place out! read more

A great spot in Malvern. Went here on a Monday morning, it was pretty busy. Staff was friendly and service was quick. It's definitely a little cozy/tight in there (you will be sitting right next to other diners). Their menu is mostly a build your breakfast/a la carte type menu meaning you pick your base and everything else you add on is an additional cost. I had a pretty standard breakfast which was great. Prices are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend checking them out. read more

WOW! Came out to malvern for a haircut and wanted a bite to eat and came across maybe the best and biggest breakfast sandwich I've ever had. It was huge but delicious! First the location is right off the side on Lancaster ave. The parking is small though. I'm not sure if there is additional parking elsewhere. I only got takeout but the diner looks small but cozy and welcoming. I did see some outside seating as well. Second-the sandwich was incredible. Slab bacon and perfectly cooked eggs. Seriously you're getting your moneys worth here with this sandwich and I'm sure everything else looks amazing. Can't wait to come back and try it read more

One of the things that I miss most during this Quarantine is going out to brunch. Thank goodness for takeout from the classic diner! I love dining here and have been a customer for many years! It used to be my favorite spot to meet up with my friends in high school and it is always a place I come to when I'm home. I always have a great experience and their takeout during quarantine is no different! Last weekend, we got brunch here on Sunday. My latte was delicious! I also LOVE their Nutella strawberry French toast! It was just as good from takeout as it is when I dine in. It is my favorite French toast from any restaurant! Definitely a must try. I also had a side of home fries which are always a favorite of mine. My family enjoyed their meals as well! We will definitely be back for takeout during quarantine and for dine-in once it is safe to do so. Side note: they are still offering their full menu during the pandemic which is a definite plus! Check out my photo to see how much Kiki, my cat, loves when we get takeout from here! read more

Stopped in a few weeks ago for lunch after visiting an antique store across the street. The restaurant is beautiful and spotless. My friend and I both got chicken caesar salads with grilled chicken. Everything was super fresh. Lots of grilled chicken. She also wanted us to try a stuffed French toast, so she ordered that as well. Very good! They are only open for breakfast and lunch. They do serve breakfast all day. read more

The 5 of us had a 9 AM reservation last week for a team offsite occasion. The place is crammed but clean. Our table was seated in a separate room, so we practically had the place to ourselves. The menu is expansive and fairly priced. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese omelette, and the rest of the crew ordered what you can see from the pictures - bacon and cheese omelette, chocolate chip pancakes, avocado toast, eggs benedict, and a couple sides of bacon and sausage. The avocado toast could have used more avocado, but the rest of the dishes received high praise. We stayed for about 2 hours and they never kicked us out. I wanted to give this place a 3/5 because it only met my expectations, but considering everyone enjoyed their food, I'm giving a 3.5 (rounded up to a 4). I'll be back at some point in the future. read more
