    I visited Great Valley diner / grille to have a quick breakfast at this location with my friend after a long tennis match. It was right on Lancaster Avenue that it was easy to locate, with plenty of parking. Inside the restaurant there were specials board, we were greeted and asked to sit anywhere we prefer, there were probably four tables occupied at that time. The ambiance of the restaurant inside is definitely good for a diner. As we were handed out the menu, we were asked about anything to drink, and we ordered coffee and orange juice. The menu looks very good with a wide range of breakfast and non breakfast items, and some of them had some Greek influence dishes as well. I ordered a stack of pancakes and house hash browns with onions and peppers. My friend ordered French toast with banana and walnuts. We got our coffee very quickly, and I ordered it with milk. However, the milk doesn't taste good, but the coffee was okay. When I got the pancakes the pancakes were cooked perfectly fine and hash browns was the highlight of the breakfast I enjoyed it thoroughly we were handed out the check, we paid and we walked out overall it was a a very good experience, I would have rated five stars if the coffee was provided with the right quality of milk. I will definitely visit this place again to try non breakfast menu items they looked very good . It's definitely worth the place. Try it,and you will definitely like it. It looks like a locally owned, and you should support it.

    They have only been open since this past Friday as of the time of this writing. I'll be gentle. Basically, they took what used to be the KFC/Taco Bell, and turned it into a diner. They have breakfast served all day, a complete sandwich menu for lunch, and entrees ranging from steaks to turkey to seafood to Italian. What they don't have yet are desserts, but I was told they're coming soon. So to compare them to local diners, I've lost track with what's going on with what used to be Paoli Diner up the street. This place won't have to do much to be better than that. The little Frazer Diner has some similar dishes at a much cheaper price but it's hit or miss and very cramped with limited hours. I can't really compare them to Classic Diner as that wouldn't be fair. They may have positioned themselves just right when it comes to local diners. Their competition might be more from some of the local pizza and sandwich shops such as Venice Pizza nearby which does a brisk lunch business. Also they're in a shopping center with several unique choices to eat nearby. It will be interesting to see how they fare in this atmosphere. I know what you're saying... Get to the food already! I picked a lunch special that I'm not sure they'll have every day. It was the Prime Rib Panini which came with Swiss cheese, spinach, red peppers and onions on it. The deal included fries and soup for $9.95. I went with the creamy turkey rice soup. The soup was excellent. I'd eat a bowl of that. The sandwich was quite good, although it could have used a little more meat in my mind. The fries were a bit unevenly cooked as I had some which were nice and crispy, some which were floppy and soggy, and at least one that was so hot in the middle that it burned on the way down forcing me to grab my ice water. They need to get the consistency right on those. For now, 3 stars is about right until I try a few more dishes from them to see if they deserve an upgrade. They're worth a shot.

    Great Valley Diner on Route 30 in Malvern, PA, sits in a former fast food structure, but aside from the general boxy nature of the space, it has escaped its past, and now looks something like what it is - a kitchen for three squares a day. It has a small counter with three or four spinners, and a dining room with a dozen or so booths and tables. The menu has all the usual suspects, especially breakfast, with a full list of egg/omelet, pancake/french toast possibilities and decent coffee served in red mugs. I went with their Italian Omelet, but subbed feta cheese for their regular provolone. No sweat. It was served less than ten minutes later and was quite good, with crispy home fries and rye toast. There were plenty of sweet sausage, onion and pepper in addition to the fresh feta. Service was provided by a family member, who was pleasant and attentive. My red mug was refilled twice without request. Adequate parking. Exiting from the connecting shopping plaza onto Route 30, a bit confusing. 3.5 STARS

    We were pleasantly surprised by the great valley grill. The food was fresh and came out quick. Everything was made correctly and the food was delicious. The atmosphere leaves much to be desired, but everything else makes a visit well worth your while. This place is a hidden gem.

    Really dry and greasy "grilled" chicken sandwich

    No stars would be a better depiction of my experience. My husband and I took our 3 kids out for lunch and could not agree on a place so I decided to try something new. This place was the former Kentucky fried chicken and I thought might be cute. It turns Out that this place was weird and beyond quirky. It was empty and still it took forever to order. Our food order was incorrect on 2 accounts But rapidly corrected. I had a bite or my sandwich that was both greasy and dry at the same time. The rye bread was soaked in a substance that was similar to butter but tasted like sub par margarine. I tried to doctor it up with the side of coleslaw of which they forgot to put on my plate but the slaw was old and unappetizing. Ugh... Everything was a basic disaster. I did not touch my food and the server did not question me. My kids even commented that the service was slow and not exactly bubblieee. On the ride home my husband quipped "at least he didn't point out the hair in our 6 year old daughters milk shake" .... Gagging... I feel badly panning this restaurant but it was really uncomfortable and all around horribly odd.

    Decent food, fries were ok...however ceiling repairs make you wonder about condition of kitchen.

    Oil should be changed in the fryer.. chicken philly was good; however way too many onions.

    Exterior. Looks kind of like an old Arby's or Wendy's

    A friend tipped me off just two days ago about how he had found an EPIC Philly Cheesesteak out in…read morethe suburbs (without driving to Downtown Philly to Angelo's or Uncle Gus'!) Right near the Exton Mall, I swung by yesterday after shopping at Boscov's for Christmas presents and opted for a slice of the ir Pizza for a light lunch. Yes, I saw several of their cheesesteaks carried by to other customers but tasting one will be on my next trip, but the thick , generous portion of rib eye steak, Coooer cheese, spilling out of a seeded roll for an astounding $15 looks like an incredible deal. But I digress- this family- run restaurant knows how to make astonishingly great pizza, and can do any of their offerings on GLUTEN-FREE crust. They use Imported Italian flours and cook up their crusts crispy, well done, and delicious that beats the mouth-feel of anything I have had in the area. The meats are of superior quality and flavor, and everything is available by the slice and displayed in a case of fresh slices in so great a variety you will have difficulty choosing just one! The slice named "The Charlie" called out to me, totally on visual appeal, and I learned secondarily that it sported classic pizza sauce, creamy Mozerella, pepperoni, finished with pecorino Romano, fresh Basil, and hot honey- It knocked my socks off! Whether you are in the mood for an amazing pizza, or a cheesesteak, you've gotta try this place. It is clean, well staffed, with a great vibe! Find it a coupla blocks from the mall, on Lancaster Ave across the street from the Sherwin Williams paint store.

    Had to bring two disbelievers (one thinks Jersey Mike's is the bomb, the other, a chef, had his…read moreonly cheesesteak ever from Geno's in Philly, enough said) the best cheesesteak I could without trekking to Roxborough or Old City. Ordered them both a standard cheesesteak wit. Unfortunately, mine had a nasty chunk of gristle, but was otherwise an 8.5. My companion was very happy with her usual chicken cheesesteak... Waiting for their feedback: don't let me down Gentili's. The feedback: the chef, very picky Italian chef, was blown away (his benchmark was Geno's, so). The Jersey Mike's fans were likewise impressed admitting Jersey Mike's is a bad facsimile... My mission to conquer mediocre and bad cheesesteaks, and uninformed/misinformed opinions, continues...
