    Went there last Saturday and it was fully packed. The atmosphere itself is something to experience--I've never been to a diner that almost ran out of parking spot. Everything was good, from food to service!

    Breakfast Burger

    We haven't been to Minella's Diner in ages but we were in the area and decided on a late lunch early dinner. The place didn't disappoint. As old as it is in beautiful condition and the architecture is authentic and classy for an ageless diner. So on to the food, everything was excellent. The menu is endless and the food was delicious, well prepared and fresh. I had the breakfast burger delux and my wife had the open face turkey sandwich. Both were excellent. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Excellent experience

    The food is actually awful. I grew up here, I know it's a really classic spot, but the food is just awful. No complaints about the service, just the WORST food. If you are under the age of 75, go elsewhere. I got a Reuben, and it was the worst reuben I've ever eaten, no exaggeration, in my life. It wasn't even on rye, even though the menu said it would be. The meat was rubbery and lukewarm. My husband is REALLY easy to please, and even he said his burger was "really bad" and he "powered through" to get it down. My cousin got the Greek salad with chicken, and it looked decent enough. Nowhere near worth the price, but probably the best of our orders. But definitely not worth the price.

    My family and I have been coming here for many many years. The quality came down right after the pandemic, and now I feel the quality went back up again (thankfully). The service here always has been stellar with super friendly servers. The quantity of food they give you is always plenty. I can easily just eat half, and other half home, but I always end up eating everything The place looks full most of the time, but the space is pretty large so they always have tables for us. Just a side note: during Villanova University's school year (especially weekends) this place is very busy.

    French Toast, scrapple & eggs.

    Can't sit down until your entire party is there. Big menu with plenty of options. Very busy on weekends so be mindful of potential wait times but food comes out pretty quick. Pay at the front so it's convenient if you're in a rush during busy hours.

    2 eggs over easy.  Country potatoes.  White toast.

    Good comfort food cooked perfectly. Usually I ask for my corned beef hash BURNT, well done and crispy. I forgot, I was sleepy from taking the red eye from LAX. It was cooked perfectly! Eggs were eggactly how I love them. Potatoes were a little crispy and soft on the inside. I wanted sourdough but my only choices were white, wheat and rye. The toast was Texas toast little sister. Had a thickness to it but very light and fluffy. The server was very hospitable. Although I saw 3 people standing at the counter and I desperately wanted more water. It took a couple of minutes. Place was clean and well kept. Bathroom was very clean.

    Yummy tortellini Alfredo (with added green peas)

    Hosts weren't very friendly but our waitress was. Chicken noodle soup of the day was good and so was my tortellini Alfredo (which the waitress was ok with adding green peas to). Yummy rice pudding. Would definitely go back.

    This was my third time at Matines. The first two were wonderful, which is why I suggested it to a…read morefriend for brunch. This time was a completely different experience -- (1) no waitress to take your order, all walk up, (2) the avocado on my sandwich tasted bitter likely caused by it being past ripe, (3) we were sat but given no water (which we ended up retrieving our selves), we brought our own wine & had to request an ice bucket & glasses 3 times (our sandwiches came out before we had anything to drink), (4) tables were covered with used dishes & then the dish/trash retrieval cart was pushed around & left next to our table, & (5) every server seemed bummed, like they didn't want to be there & didn't know how to be a server. It was shocking & I kept apologizing to my friend for bringing her & suggesting the spot. We were hoping for a super fun girls brunch but the vibes were giving struggle bus. Hoping this place can get back to where it was, but I won't be back to see.

    Super cute cafe with very good food…read more Parking in the back is very easy. My husband got cold brew and I did the lavender yuzu mocktail, both were good. I ordered the Lafayette on a baguette and he ordered the Parisian. The sandwiches were massive and also came with salad, neither of us could finish. They were very very good. The bread was perfect. Service was slow but they were packed when we went. Everyone was very friendly. Would come again.

    White Dog Cafe is actually so so good! We went for brunch for my sister's birthday. It's pricey but…read moreeverything was extremely delicious. And the ambiance is really nice -- fancy farm to table with plush seating and pillows. If you're going to get an appetizer, I would highly recommend getting the snack board to share (unfortunately this was eaten before I got to take photos). It includes delicious biscuits paired with the most perfect sausage gravy, thick cut bacon, fruit, croissant, warm donut holes, deviled eggs, and dips/jams. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. The gravy is jaw-dropping and perfect with the texture of the biscuit -- trust me, you have to try it!!! The donut holes are fluffy and soft fritters. I also really loved the deviled eggs' flavor. For my entree, I got the breakfast pot pie (in the photo) which had the same incredible gravy and biscuit crust as the appetizer, topped with a crispy fried egg. My sister had the Challah French Toast (peach compote) which was also incredible -- perfect without being too sweet. Both were huge portions. Service was also excellent -- our waitress very kindly brought out our toddler nieces' kids' meals first along with our appetizers. She even brought out a little sorbet on the house for my sister's birthday (which also was very very good!)

    Had a lovely dinner with coworkers at the Wayne location. It was a Monday evening so fairly quiet…read moreand we arrived at 8:00 pm. Although we were one of their last tables, we never felt rushed by the restaurant team. Our group had eclectic food tastes, but everyone agreed that the whipped ricotta dish and bread basket were crowd pleasers. The portions are ideal for sharing, and everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. This restaurant has a charming atmosphere, with cozy, whimsical decor that makes it feel both inviting and unique. The terrace dining area is lovely and provides a relaxing setting for outdoor dining.
