Old school!

Being from NJ, my wife and I have seen a lot of diners. Stopping here at the Downingtown Diner though was a fun time! After all, who wouldn't love a diner where in 1958, they filmed the movie, "The Blob", with Steve McQueen. The diner is so retro, it just brings you back in time. I love the milkshake maker! Well not only was the place cool, but the food was delicious and the service super friendly. My blueberry pancakes were fantastic! From what I've read, this diner had been closed for a while and just reopened with new owners over the past couple of years. Good thing it did because this place is a classic!

Closer look at my breakfast burrito I ordered.

Great little diner nestle in Downingtown, this was my first time trying this diner, I always heard good things about this place and knowing it's history I wanted to try it and it sure didn't disappoint, friendly waitresses and great food. Will be back soon!

First time visiting this diner. Full parking lot so it looked promising. We parked around back where there were more spaces. Typical small town diner with typical diner food menu. I had the chicken croquettes with mashed potatoes and the portion size was very generous. I was only able to finish 1/2 and took the other 1/2 home. I also got a side (I chose applesauce) and a side salad. The croquettes appear to be handmade as well. My grandmother got marinated chicken and mushrooms with rice and was happy with her order. My sister had an omelette with a side of fruit and bacon and the fruit cup looked very fresh. Our server was new so she was shadowed by a more experienced coworker. The coworker was super nice and drew fun pics on our takeout containers.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD (Taste & Execution) [Rating: 4.5/5] The lowdown: Solid breakfast with very good service on a gloomy damp Thursday morning. 2.

The food is excellent. I had the maple sausage which was bursting with flavor & hotcakes that…read moretasted 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.

Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal. I had the open‑face Turkey Reuben and the portion was definitely shareable and very good. My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.
