Looking for a breakfast spot after an early appointment in Abington we decided to give Moonlight another try. Greeted and seated immediately we opted for a breakfast sandwich and French toast with sausage. Although the flavor was good the toast could have sat in the egg mixture longer as it was dry in the center. Egg sandwich tasty but scrapple on the thin side. A decent breakfast with friendly service. Bring cash as menu prices reflect a 4% discount imposing a fee for use of credit or debit. read more

Very friendly service, but very okay food. I got the eggs benedict and the eggs were overcooked. It has the classic diner ambiance which is nice, but I don't think my partner nor I were really blown away by anything we ate. Loved the people working there though. read more

I love coming to this diner. Service is always great. Food came out fast. Decaf coffee wasn't to acid and not thin. Even the owner was attentive to refill the coffee. I got western omelette. A lot of chopped ham and fresh green pepper. I substitute the fries with the fruit (99 cents extra). It also came with bread. I picked wheat bread. The dessert displayed at the entrance looked very enticing. The owner told me that all of them were homemade. The lemon meringue, had a tall fluffy meringue. I couldn't resist it so I gave it a try. ($5). It was was very sweet read more

May 18, 2023, 3 for breakfast - I worked in the area across the street in the early 1980s and went to this diner before its renovations. We were around the corner for my daughters graduation from Arcadia U. and moving her stuff out. Place is pretty clean and your typical diner fair. Parking was good. Service was very attentive, I of course hate having to go up to a counter and wait and then announce my gratuity to the cashier and also feel shamed for using a credit card , etc, etc, Price very good. My wife got the eggs over medium with English muffin, grits, and bacon. The eggs were flash fried with the 'grill brown halo of death edges' and were cooked overdone. The grits were good, albeit maybe a little undercooked and - firm beads/'grit'ty??? English muffin was good and bacon (2 strips) was nice. 5/10 My daughter got the eggs over 'easy' with sausage, white bread and home fried potatoes. The eggs were underdone by 'easy' standards, clearly cooked FAST (pock mark holes in the white) and yet the easy side was still snotty and uncooked if even for a second or two. The sausage was nicely cooked and a good product according to my daughter. The home fried potatoes looked great but she reported not much flavor and could have been cooked a little more or browned for more flavor?? 6/10 I ordered the traditional eggs benedict to compare to the now 30 breakfast spots we had gone to back in Florida since 2021. (see them elsewhere under my activity here on Yelp) I am an egg aficionado (my old chol and CAC score proves it? (grimace) ) even though I am now usually whole food plant based. The ham was good but small scraps. The muffin could have been crisper and was soft and mushy. The eggs (the flagship item) were undercooked and very snotty (Sal Manilla must have been on duty) - edible but not a great rendition. Must have been a rolling boil too quick process. The hollandaise sauce was tart and more saucy than flavorful and too much as it soaked the muffin and covered everything. My home fried potatoes like my daughter were plentiful but not that interesting or flavorful, a little undercooked. 5/10 Seems the cook need to slow down and pay a bit more attention. Simple stuff BUT the critical basics?? Great to be in the old neighborhood ...... 40 years later!!! read more

I ate breakfast here while on a trip. Food was excellent with a good size portion. I usually go for an omelet but got the burrito instead. Not too pricy. Waitress was courteous and hospitable. The restaurant itself was not gaudy and had an open air about the place even though the morning was a little cool. read more

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Very friendly food arise in a quick manner very nice ambient ambience, family friendly meal.

The owner is such a nice person. We arrived @ 2pm and the front doors were locked since it was a slow day, but he reopened them as we were heading back to the car. The food is also really good and you get great portions here too. The corn beef Reuben is excellent. My Mom enjoyed her turkey burger. We'll be back for breakfast later. :) read more

Food was fresh. Service ok, feel like your being rushed to eat, pay and go. Place was clean. Not going back, I observed the owner repeatedly offering the back corner seats to African American customers while he sits the white people in the front area. Crazy thing the owner looks middle Eastern. read more

Today I visited Moonlight Diner for breakfast. Moonlight offers a decent amount of off street parking. Upon entering it had the Diner feeling: plenty of marble and granite, counter seating along with tables and booths as well as a display case for the desserts. I received a hearty welcome from a regular seated at the counter as well as the staff. The server poured my coffee and gave me time to look over the menu. I went with the Farmer's Omelette which consisted of three eggs, sausage, bacon, onions, mushrooms, tomato and American cheese. I opted for potatoes instead of grits and no toast. I enjoyed my coffee and the news on the television. My order came out quickly and I said my grace and got to work. It was a delicious breakfast. The potatoes had a nice crust on them and were cooked well. I enjoyed the balance of the ingredients in the omelette and it tasted yummy. The server checked on me several times to make sure my coffee was full and the meal was okay. Moonlight is a solid spot for breakfast I'll definitely be back to try some more of the menu. read more

So my friend and I ate here admittedly in a bit of a rush...on Sunday during peak brunch time, so I will concede that, but diners are known for their kind ambience and quick service. As we noted that people who entered before us were served before us, we kindly asked after waiting 30+ minutes for our food if it's coming out soon. The manager gave us a snarky attitude saying it's coming soon. Once the food finally arrived, my order was entirely wrong; the only thing they got correct was that I ordered an omelette; all requested toppings were incorrect or missing. They kindly comped the omelette for me, and I thanked them for doing so, but when I paid, I received the same snarky attitude from the manager I had received before my food came out. I understand a busy restaurant at their busiest time along with simple basic human error; we all make mistakes, and I'm empathetic to it, but I was kind and not pushy and I still received the snarky attitude. I am always willing to give a second chance, but when I saw the manager being cordial and smiling with other customers, I felt targeted, so I will likely not attend again. read more

Solid diner. Very friendly waiter. Cute interior and ample parking. Loaded omelette and decent coffee.

We didn't have to wait too for service, but the waitress didn't ask was it our first time here neither any specials. The onion soup tasted like they added too much flour or cornstarch. The corned beef sandwich was skimming on the meat and cheese. The club sandwich was made well except it lacked a good portion of meat. read more

This diner isn't much to look at on the outside, but the food, prices and service were all fantastic. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked. read more

Moonlight Diner - Breakfast! - Diners Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

I was visiting from out of town and as someone who lives in Brooklyn, I really miss a good diner. The people working are incredibly kind. The coffee is flowing, the food comes quick, the food is very reasonably priced, and it's delicious. They have omelets galore, and since it's PA, they have many forms of breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, scrapple, chipped beef, etc). It was a delicious and filling meal. Get the corned beef hash. You won't regret it. read more

Moonlight Diner - Grits - Diners Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

This old diner located at the intersection of Limekiln Pike and Mt. Carmel Avenue in Glenside, PA, is a miniature of today's full monte diner experience. The counter has only 6 spinners, and the main dining rooms together, less than a dozen tables. But, size does not tell the story of Moonlight Diner. This place has been running since the middle of the last century feeding this neighborhood with solid victuals and homemade desserts. That I was the only customer by the time I finished breakfast does not reflect on the quality of the experience. I sat on the last stool on the right overlooking the refrigerator full of juice and milk and the kitchen door. The friendly server approached with a menu and inquiry about drinks. Coffee with a small glass of milk arrived in front of me two minutes later. I order their Farmers Omelet (onion, tomato, mushroom, bacon, feta cheese extra with home fries folded in) and rye toast, and took a phone call as I waited. The platter was placed before me before the call ended. First bite alerted me to the need for a shake of black pepper and squirt of Frank's Hot Sauce, which I promptly applied. Those adjustments did the trick and it was smooth sailing from there. The taste and texture were excellent and it was a completely filling breakfast. Everything blended well together and seemed in perfect harmony. Coffee mug refills were forthcoming when required. Service was timely and cordial. They treated this stranger well. Much appreciated. read more

Moonlight Diner - a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, and hash browns - Diners Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

Visiting family and happened upon this place for breakfast. DH said the food and service was exceptional, a very homelike feeling. He ordered the rye toast, 3 eggs scrambled, grits, scrapple, and bacon. 16 says the food came out quickly and was good. She ordered French toast with cheese eggs and sausage. 14 says everything seemed really fresh. He ordered the waffle topped with strawberries and blueberries, cheese eggs, and ham. I had the pancakes with cheese eggs and bacon, and we shared the home fries. I should have asked for them well done. The crispy bits were the best part. As we were eating, people entering were getting greeting by name by the family, which was comforting that they took the time to speak to everyone coming in the door. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends in the Philadelphia area. No pictures because we were hungry!!! read more

The waitress was very nice and made our dining enjoyable. The diner itself was fairly small by diner standards but comfortable. The food was okay. Not great, not bad just okay. But, we left full and happy. No complaints! read more

Food was amazing, the design of the diner is so cute. This diner is so nostalgic, me and my dad used to go here before he had a stroke. The service was excellent too, the waiter came right to us and took our orders right away. read more

Moonlight Diner - Sitting area - Diners Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

My fiancé and I stopped here for breakfast today. The waitress had customers sitting at every other table to promote social distancing. To start, the coffee was strong and hot, and both the waitress and another man stopped by to fill up our mugs throughout our meal. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my fiancé ordered some sort of combination platter of eggs, French toast, and bacon. We both enjoyed our meals. My eggs for the eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and your eggs are almost hard boiled. This was not the case here. We definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

Comfy little diner in Glenside. Price was right. For a little place in a small town, met expectations.

Owners tried to add their own tip and up charged on food items, as regulars we are offended because we tip everytime and they are claiming we don't. Never returning. read more

Came here late for dinner since I was not trying to cook after working out. This diner is close to our apartment and we haven't tried it and wanted to for so long. This place is somewhat big we were the only customers since it was about to close in 45 mins. We asked if they were still serving since it close to closing and they were nice enough to seat us. My husband ordered the chicken croquets and I ordered the quesadilla. The food came out super fast and tasted great we will definitely be back soon. We are so happy to have a diner in walking distance and we can't wait to try there other specials. read more

First of all the service was good. That said, the meat lovers omelette tasted like burned grease so I didn't eat it. Had a weird bitter taste that I think can only come from burned oil or a dirty grill. They took it back and did ask me if I wanted something else and I said no, but they left it all on my bill. Now in fairness I didn't demand them to take it off because it's not the wait staffs fault. I did eat the English muffin so now I can say I had an $11 English muffin. Best part was when I went to pay they asked me verbally in front of others how much I was going to tip? Not the percentage, the dollar amount?! That's new to me but not a surprise in the Philly area lol. If they would have even knocked a few dollars off my $11 omelet I might come back, but they didn't so I won't. read more

One of our favorites in Montgomery County. We eat here every week! Big menu and fast service.

Breakfast was good - we had Eggs Benedict and an omelet. The service was was on target and the coffee was good. This is a nice diner with newer tables but similar style to older diners. Good place to take the family. The bagel was lame but at least they don't upcharge for it, I'd get rye toast next time. read more

Maybe I was expecting too much because I heard good things? My waitress (who may have been an owner) was clueless. Didn't know the menu. I got the French Dip, it was okay so I added a side of onion rings- I asked "Are they batter-dipped or hand-breaded?" She looked at me like I asked her where the onions came out of the ground from. We went back and forth a bit and then she said they make them there after I tried to explain what breading was so I thought maybe they were hand-breaded....they weren't. I had a side of onion soup- the worst onion soup I ever had! If you didn't tell me it was onion soup I would not have guessed that it was. When looking over other reviews it looks like everyone loves their breakfast-what I received was well below the usual diner fare you can get in the area. Knowing that I could have gone to Michaels nearby- received better quality food, service, and value kind of makes me more mad. read more

Great food, generous portions, fair prices. Nicely decorated, friendly staff and good service.

Easy diner for lunch. Lunch specials, low prices for sandwiches, everything looked impressive. Omelettes and french toast came on huge plates, service was prompt and things came out as they were done! I got split pea soup, side salad, meatloaf and french fries. Was enough to split between two people for a light lunch, ended up around 10 bucks only. read more
