If you want bad food, slow service and depressing decor, then go here.My wife and I went there one Saturday morning, it was about 8:30 and we walked up to the the front door, the sidewalk was covered with dried puke that had obviously been there for several hours. After tip toeing around it we went to the cashier to tell her what was out there. She looked at us like we were crazy but went into the kitchen to say something to someone. It was taken careof but by then so was my appetite. Needless to say I haven't been back. read more

I've been here a number of times over the past three years. There is always a pretty decent breakfast crowd, but the waitstaff is capable and friendly and the food is good. However, I have to say that it's been getting worse lately. They say they deliver, but I've called twice for delivery and have been told both times that they weren't delivering at the moment. Even though it was during normal meal times. Last time I was there was a couple of weeks ago for dinner, around 7:15PM. I ordered a BLT and my husband had a cheesesteak. We were there for almost two hours, even though the place was practically empty. The waitress that was taking care of us was pulled aside by the rude foreign woman who I assume is the current owner and was being questioned about some register discrepancy ...within earshot of customers! This went on for a while before one of the other waiters noticed that we were not being helped and ran to get our food from the kitchen. The rest of the time we were there, he was our waiter, but not very attentive... he obviously kept forgetting about us and was chatting with some friends of his that came in (can't really blame him... we weren't his table and the angry owner was still berating our original waitress behind the counter). It took at least twenty minutes after we were finished eating to get the check. The owner, seeing us getting up and ready to leave (as we were at the table immediately next to the register) started closing out the register and told us that it would be ten minutes before we could pay by credit card! Unbelieveable! It was already after 9:00 and we just wanted to get out of there, so we emptied our pockets and paid cash. She, of course, couldn't give us change. I'm not sure what's going on with this place... but whatever they're doing is NOT working! read more

You must be drunk to eat here! I know this is a diner and one night against my better judgement I ordered non-breakfast fare from here. We wound up spending 42 bucks and it was the biggest waste of money ...I might as well have just put my money through a shredder. Our food was completely inedible. We got Mushroom caps and oddly enough it was more "crab imperial" than mushroom. The shrooms were black and shriveled...not a good sign, these were not porcini's. The imperial tasted like chicken parm...bleh. We also ordered the potato skins, these were a grey brown color and they were large russets, something you'd use for a baked potato instead. Another plate the hot open faced turkey...which btw any self respecting diner should have aced had a funky taste to the gravy...something i really can't describe...the turkey had more fat than a rib eye. The rice pilaf I got with the open faced turkey was honestly the best thing about my meal and it was obviously from a frozen bag. Also got the french onion soup that was ALMOST edible but it had WAAAAAYYYY too much onion powder in it. I wasn't even going to write a review, in all honesty i only review places after I've eaten there a few times but now I have a nauseous stomach and bad gas and I'm PRETTY SURE it was from this garbage. STAY AWAY!! read more

Honestly the food is good BUT the service is the worse no one even greets you when you walk in and takes forever to get water at the table or to do anything. I wouldn't recommend coming here. It seems like since the movie was shot here they let their services just drop to no one cares. read more

I had been asking my fiancé to take me because of the movie. He didn't want to because he said it was disgusting, but I went anyways. He was right. The food was all over cooked, we weren't offered refills, it took 15 minutes for someone to take our order and no one even apologized for the slow pace. It was Christmas Eve so we didn't say anything and still left a 20% tip, but I definitely don't recommend going. read more

I used to come to this diner years ago when I was in high school. It was ok...not good but ok. Came here for the first time a few weeks back for a little late night after drinking meal. No more blue haired 80 year old chronic tabacco user waitresses ( kind of missed them a little). However the staff was efficient and funny to boot. Look, some may say unprofessional but at 2 in the morning ,with a little buzz on it was entertaining and they made me chuckle a few times. The food? Not bad....not great but somewhat enjoyable. Look, it's 2am diner food. It was much better than the horrible experience at another diner (see Melrose review). I dont understand people who give 5 stars to mediocre diners though. Your standards are way too low. read more

These guys deserve a BIG FAT ZERO. I moved to Drexel Hill recently. As a contractor, I selected the Llanerch Diner as a nice spot to have those breakfast and lunch meetings with manufacturers' reps and such. My first experience was good, the waitress was good, and reminded me of Pat Benatar too. The food was what I'd expect from a diner. It was about 8:30am. My next trip a few weeks later, this time arriving at 9:30 am, having ordered what I thought was a 'safe', scrambled light, potatoes and bacon... My friend's mushroom omelet came out 30 minutes later piping hot, in an almost empty diner along with my cold, hard lump of mashed eggs, with cold potatoes, and warm bacon. The waitress was ignorant enough to nonchalantly say they must have sat while the cook made the omelet. I counted 5 customers in the place. She brought back "new" eggs within a minute, also able to be bounced like Flubber - which were actually my original eggs, pepper scraped, a little hashed - not even well, still a lump - and microwaved. I complained they were the same eggs. She stuck to her story, they were fresh cooked - "Look, [my] pepper [was] gone." Sheesh! I said I am not hungry, I don't want the meal. She said she'd send the owner. I said, "Please don't. I don't care." (I had my coffee, which is good.) Deep into business discussion with my colleague, the "owner" comes to the table, and butts right in and talks over us, and says, 'what is the problem with the eggs." I said, excuse me? Can you not see we are talking, I do not care about the eggs? He says, "You want to be rude?!" in classic foreigner fashion. I asked him to please leave. He left saying he was charging for the meal, and did. I literally had one disgusting bite of rewarmed, cold, hard scrambled eggs, and complained. These guys get an F for no class, and chintzy attitudes. Too bad, I like the general atmosphere. read more

Finally great food over night stopped by after work. Monday night ordered breakfast. Fresh home fries perfect omelette service was good. Last time I ate there about eight months ago. I left the server a nickel the food was terrible. Thank you keep it up. Now i know i can bring my dates out to eat and not be embarrassed. read more

This place is disgusting , I heard that the cooks smoke while they make your food & they leave the back kitchen door open & allow cats to run in . The food was horrible & our waitress had an attitude . Save yourself a trip and don't come here . read more

Service here is friendly (for a diner)! I visited late with some friends because we had been on the road for hours and just needed some sustenance. Half of the party got breakfast food and the other two got salads. We all got the homemade chicken pastini soup. Overall, this diner gets an A for effort--I loved the chicken noodle soup. It was really well-seasoned and everyone at the table liked it. The pancakes were super-fluffy and the Monte Cristo had the biggest piece of French toast that I have ever seen. The salads really are sumptuous. The caesar salad had the good kind of croutons--firm, but not break your teeth hard, with a nice fluffy center. I ordered the house salad because I wasn't very hungry and I was expecting a dinky excuse of a salad (because I always feel like that kind of salad is an excuse to slack off), but I was completely surprised at the size and amount of stuff that was thrown into the salad--onion, tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, and olives. The dressing was pretty good, though wayyyyyy too oily for me. There was also a bad tomato in my salad, but it was small. I was the only one at the table who couldn't finish my meal, because I completely underestimated the size. read more

I'd be lying if I said I didn't come here solely because it was featured in the movie Silver Linings Playbook, but I was working SO close by so I couldn't resist. Food was decent, I had the beef gyro platter and I had no complaints. I dined with 2 other co-workers and overall we had nothing negative to say. Is the diner exploiting its appearance in the movie? Sure - but if it works then who am I to judge? Did I have the opportunity to sit in the 'famous' Silver Linings Playbook' booth? Nah, but that didn't effect my rating. Overall I'd come back if I was in the neighborhood and looking for a quick diner meal. read more

Only get the egg cheese sandwich. That is about the best deal on the menu ($6). Food is very simplistic and a bit overpriced. The milkshake took 20 min to make - were they milking the cow behind the restaurant? But it is a fun place to go as a group. read more

Nice little 24 hr place. Pretty cool, and better than average food, with some interesting twists. I think its a Greek slant to everything. THe waffles with ice cream was funny to see late night, one time i was there. My wife got the vegetarian phily steak another time, her mistake, and was sorely disappointed. Frozen veggies with cheese in a sub roll, I was cracking up but her, not so much. Good hearty diner fare, but nothing stood out above the rest. A solid standby in times of need for late night nourishment. read more

The best diner available to suburbanites of the Main Line... and though not saying much (the only other option is the near-clone Manella's) it is still a great place to go, anytime of nice, for consistently decent (read: average) food. The standout amongst the plethora of items they serve has to be their breakfast menu-- available all times of day obviously-- and the tastiest and most enjoyable items you can get at 3am... which I find is the best time to visit Llanerch. read more

Fast friendly staff that know their stuff. Big menu with lots to choose from. You are going to find something you like and have enough for leftovers too. Prices are great, very comfortable and good eats diner. Check it out read more

Llanerch is an OK diner best known for appearing in Silver Linings Playbook. The food is great when you're drunk (open 24/7). Otherwise hit or miss. Sweet potato pancakes are good. Ask for homefries well done or extra crispy read more

I stopped in for a quick breakfast at 10am on a Wednesday. I got a nice tattooed lady. I told her I was on the way to a funeral and I just wanted a quick short stack, bacon and water and hot chocolate before I actually sat down. She came back quickly with the hot chocolate. The diner has a real earthy old city diner feel to it. The staff is nice but tough Philly. I get a kick out of it. It adds to the ambiance. She came back with my meal but didn't bring my water. Two waitresses chatted to each other. My waitress was MIA. I asked one waitress for ice water. She came right away. Original waitress gave me my bill and I left. In and out in 30 minutes or less. Not bad. Food was typical diner food. Good but not excellent. It hit the spot. That's what I wanted. read more

This place is excellent! Many menu options but the key west salad is sent from heaven! Portions are very generous. My salad served as lunch and dinner. Reasonable prices and good services. This place is a gem. read more

Hands down the best breakfast in the area. I have been here multiple times and have always ordered breakfast, it's so delicious I don't want anything else! Prices are decent and you get a lot of food. It can get very crowded sometimes but it is well worth the wait. And speaking of wait, the wait staff is sub-par, a lot of times they have a lot of tables and just cover the basics as in taking your order. I've had to flag down my waitress/waiter a few times but that's perfectly fine with me because the food is phenomenal. read more

Typical diner fare and diner prep: tons of menu items, none exceptionally good. It gets 3 stars because my husband LOVES the blueberry pancakes and is thrilled that they're available 24 hours/day. Me? I like my fries, hash browns and grilled cheeses sandwiches crunchy and well-done. Each and every time they're limp and soggy. And, until I stopped ordering food, I became sick after each visit. I'd give it zero stars. Now, I sip tea and watch Husband excitedly devour his pancakes. read more

Best place to go after the bar closes, you're a little drunk and craving some late night breakfast.

We checked this diner out because the best scene in THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK was filmed here. While the place is not fancy... it serves some incredible meals. This is definitely quality diner food!!!! The service was also clean and professional. I will definitely be going back. read more

Do not recommend this place at all. The salad that we ordered wasn't eatible, rotten lettuce. We had to send it back. The pasta was gross and our sandwiches were terrible. The pickles looked like they were about 10 years old, just awful. We will NEVER go back. read more

My daughter loves their MAC & CHEESE. Thanks Llanerch!

The food is, on average, what you would expect from a diner. Some items like the French toast or cheesesteaks are good. The pancakes are always dry, though. IE. They dehydrate you and syrup or butter will not help. I always go after midnight and have not had this problem but have seen the servers ignore customers for long periods of time after they are seated. All in all, it's a fine diner to unwind with friends but not my first choice. read more

Been here millions of times! Definitely a great place to relax with friends - make sure you're there when Marcus is working - he is the best! Watch what time and day you go though - too late on a Friday night and it's full of drunk people all taking "selfies" in the "booth from that movie." read more

This place is the best! We had a large party with 5 very boisterous kids. They were so accommodating and friendly. The food was excellent. I had a cheese burger that was cooked to perfection. I'm coming back again!!! read more

Had the espanola omelet and it was great. It was a little warm Ace the waitress turned the heat of for us, which was really nice. Service was great. Definitely coming back. read more

Only gave them a one star because I couldn't do less. Food was cold, juice had a bug in it. We weren't even in our seat and the waitress walked over arms folded chomping on gum asking what we wanted to drink. When I asked for a minute she continued to talk about us to her co workers. I really could careless. The waitress we did end up with couldn't get our order right. Was over it. We picked through the food, mostly the French Toast. Manager came over at the end and said she took off the juice, why that's nice of you it had a damn big in it. And the bagel that it took her two times to get right. I couldn't imagine why on a Saturday morning it wasn't busy. Now I know! read more

Great time all around. Always a must stop after a long night of drinking! Food is always hot & taste good to me! Always see a familar face! Love Big L! read more

FIRST HAND DISCRIMINATION AT LLANERCH DINER against those with special needs. An intellectually disabled man who loves movies lives with me. He wanted to go to the Llanerch because a scene from the movie Silver Linings Playbook had been filmed there. Very excitedly, we went to the diner. Our waitress was friendly , if inattentive. Service, in general, was slow. I'll be the first to admit, my friend takes awhile to eat. After having been in the diner for 75 minutes, and although we were not finished our meal, we were asked BY THE OWNER to leave because we were taking too long and he wouldn't make any money if we continued to stay. Yet, there were empty tables around us! Who kicks a disabled person out of a restaurant? If you're fully functioning, have no special needs, eat quickly, don't mind slow service and "meh" food, this is definitely the place for you. I certainly won't be back and have told all of my friends about this situation as well. No silver lining at this dump! read more

It's pretty much your standard diner fare. The big problem is the discrepancy between the menu prices and what ends up on the check. Please be very careful with this place. Know that they will charge you more for your meal than what they advertise in the menu. For example; the $8.00 standard two egg breakfast ends up as $8.20. Their excuse is that it's different in the computer. Well, change the menu or change the computer. I know it's only 20 cents but how many customers per day are they sneaking 20 cents off of. read more

This review is solely based on the diner's delivery service; we've eaten in the diner previously and it was fine. When we found out they delivered we were excited since we live right down the road (a literal 2 minute drive). So, this morning, we decided to give their delivery service a go! We called in an order of the cheese blintzes and the township special at 9:30. We were on a bit of a time crunch but we were sure we had left enough time to eat and begin our day. We were so wrong. We didn't get our food until 11:00... yes, an hour and a half later! When we opened our terribly packaged food (the chocolate milk leaking out everywhere), we were met with cold food. Not room temperature food, not "oh, I can tell that this was once warm" food, but cold food. It had clearly sat for a long time and eggs over-easy are almost inedible cold. We were SO disappointed and had to now rush through a cold breakfast. NEVER ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS DINER. Absolutely terrible. read more

We live locally and have been to the Llanerch many times. However, the staff and service have taken a real dive in recent months. On our last visit we experienced VERY slow service, no refills offered on my drink, the waiter messed up one of our orders and forgot toast, which was hastily thrown at us near the end of the meal. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

I went here for breakfast on a crowded day. As a party of 2, we were seated within 20 minutes. The wait was much longer for parties greater than 2. Our meals were very good. I had the Hungry Man Special, which included big portions of pancakes, hash browns, bacon, eggs, and toast. While I understand we were there on an exceptionally busy day, one piece of advice I would have for management is to not allow people waiting for a table to stand in the restaurant and aisles. It was somewhat claustrophobic having so many people hovering over us and watching us eat. read more

i love this place. the food is always good and filling and also has great staff. it is usually never crowded. its your typical diner food, but it is very tasty. i go here for breakfast a lot and I've never been disappointed. it's one of the better diners around and for the price it's great because the portions are pretty big. read more

I grew up in this diner, every night my friends or and sister would always end our nights there. The food has gotten a lot better since my teen years but I will always hope that diner stays standing because I have only great memories at this diner. Very friendly there and are just down to earth good people. read more

Since the new owners took over, The place is soooo much better, the food is fantastic and the service was great! Breakfast anytime of the day or night. Love this place!!! read more

Best place to go on a late night! So fun and usually a good amount of people in there. Service is always prompt

Typical diner food. Busy on the weekends but we opted to sit at the counter rather than wait for a table . Pricing was slightly more than other diners in the area. Overall it was ok. read more
