This is your classic diner. The atmosphere along with the solid breakfast menu made this a favorite stop in route to our next destination. Service exceptional and friendly! Ham and cheese omelet was served with perfectly cooked fries. The Short stack with home fries came out fresh and hot!!! This beats IHOP any day and prices are comparable!!! Clean and well maintained. read more

This was so awful. The chicken tenders were dry asf and unseasoned and is the same color as a 2x4. The only good thing was the service, the fries also tasted like a dead raccoon. Ts was below mid and we paid 35 dollars for the worst food we've ever had. Why am I paying 4 dollars for watered down orange juice?? Will not be returning EVER read more

I think I found my 'Cheers' of Salisbury, tucked right off S Salisbury Blvd. The signage blends in with all the other signage so if you blink, you'll miss it but you don't want to. Trust me... IYKYK Upon entering, we were greeted by Mary. An absolute spitfire! Her energy and obvious experience truly make her an asset to Sage Diner. She knows the menu inside & out and made excellent recommendations. Mary's effervescence truly makes the Sage Diner feel like you're at Mary's home. She welcomes you, ribs you a little and chats with you. VERY indispensable employee to have. We opted for: 1) Navy bean soup: It had just the right hint of old bay. Freshly made, in house. A fantastic start to a hearty meal. I only wish the serving size was larger. Had I known the Navy Bean soup was so good initially, I would have gotten a bowl as my meal. Yum!!! SCORE! 2) My buddy opted for the: Salmon burger w/ lettuce, tomato, Cole slaw, pickle, fries. He truly seemed to love his meal. He hardly spoke as he devoured his dish. 3) Turkey bacon club w/ Swiss cheese. I haven't had a club sandwich in years but was quite happy I chose to revisit a club sandwich here. The bacon was plentiful (generous serving), the tomato was just the right amount and the cheese was the perfect accent. Prepared in-house. Delicious. SCORE!!! **Special Shout Out: I don't know who was in the back making the Cole Slaw but it was so incredibly good. It reminded me of how Cole Slaw used to taste back when I was a kid. DEEEE-LICIOUS!! SCORE!! While dining, an Older Couple joined our conversation and the four of us had an amazing time chatting, eating and joking with one another. I loved it! This may be a staple for when I'm in town. read more

I came here for lunch one day and I have to just keep coming back. The diner is not like any Diner I've been to , it is beautiful, extremely clean and well taken care of for any place I've eaten. The people are great and prices are just as great. I am happy every time I come here. I have always been here alone and it is so peaceful and relaxing with light music on and very quiet. Can't say enough about this place, just great food and environment. Please try them out, you won't be disappointed !​ read more

Went out for lunch to Sage. Sage is a comfortable diner on the S Salisbury Boulevard strip. My friend noticed today's special when we entered it was the Salmon Burger which came with fries, a pickle, and cokeslaw. Mary our spunky host made it sound delicious and so I ordered it. Food: As salmon burgers go it was delicious. The fries are average fries but as our waitress Rose explained everything is made fresh here aside from the pickles. I ordered coffee which had free refills and was delicious. My friend ordered the turkey club sandwich which looked amazing. The navy bean soup was delicious too and was seasoned with a hint of old bay and was tomato based was delicious with nice chunks if celery. A very homemade feel! Service: Both Rose our Bolivian American waitress who served us with a smile, and Mary who's energy makes her seem as energetic as any teen who has been serving for 25 years were as delightful as the food definitely coming back. read more

The best breakfast for the morning after the Sea Gull Century! Everything breakfast you could want.

Cute little diner in Salisbury on the main drag. The sage has a menu comparable to other diners, but still looks appetizing. We were seated immediately on a Friday evening, about an hour before closing, and were waited upon promptly. The food is typical diner fare and is of good quality. The staff seems to be a bit quirky, and it adds to the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. I've been back since, and have continued to get food service and quality comfort food. read more

It's time someone tells the truth. I'm a local customer and have been here several times. Today, my wife and I had breakfast...let's just say...they can do way better than this. We arrived a little afternoon. They advertise breakfast all day. It was mediocre at best. I ordered three scrambled eggs, with bacon and a side of bacon with a side of pancakes. The eggs were not fully cooked, the pancakes were not made to order, nor was the bacon or potatoes. If you are going to serve leftovers, then make sure to heat them up well. We both agreed we would not be going back. This is why we drive an hour to Rehoboth, DE to get a decent breakfast. The owner or manager even asked how it was. I said ok, but the food should have been hotter. He just hung his head and walked away. This is why your food comes out underwhelming...this is the kind of attitude that oversees it all. There is no accountability and cannot accept constructive criticism. Eat at your own risk!!! Side note: Our server Rosa was great! read more

Found this just driving to Assateague in search of breakfast. Standard diner w great service and good food. Huge portions for price. No frills setting and country home cookin. Tried scrapple for the first time and loved it. Hearty and meaty, great crunch on the outside, soft and juicy in the crnter. If you like liverwurst and pate, you'll love scrapple. Add some mustard and egg and it's a gourmet deli tastexpeience. Would recommend world return. read more

Again the Sage Diner has failed. I had tea. He had the seafood combo. His scallops were like rubber, the fish was so mushy it couldn't be eaten, and the crab cake was all filler and didn't even taste like crab. When he told the manager he was basically scolded. No discount, no meal taken off the bill. We paid full price for a meal that was left on the plate. That was the second bad experience. We will not return. Diners beware! read more

Just a solid 4 star experience all the way around. The cheesesteak omlette was perfectly cooked! I substituted provolone for American cheese and it was a good move. The cheese was smooth, buttery and creamy with the steak having a good level of moisture and the eggs cooked perfectly. The personal touch of stockings hung with each of their employees' names added a down home feel. While the mopping and cleaning the floors may be necessary it probably is less necessary right beside me while I eat. I had enough of the bleach smell while visiting the hospital recently and didn't need it next to my meal. I guess I am picky like that! The employees need to learn to go to the side to have conversations about who is doing what or who needs to do whatever. I don't need to be in the know I swear! All around pleasant inexpensive diner. If you come here expecting Panera Bread you will be disappointed. Come on in, relax and enjoy some decent cookin'! read more

I have not ate at Sage on South Blvd for 12 years. They use to be a good choice for breakfast. Today my husband and I had breakfast at Sage. The service was slow and it was the worst food I have ever ate in my life. My husband's breakfast was also horrible. The waitress did apologize that she forgot us and did bring us new home fries but they were also tasteless. The eggs were so dry that they had no taste. My home fries and my husband's were dry with no taste. The potatoes tasted like they had an old rotten taste. The omelette my husband had was also tasteless. If you are just getting out of prison and have only had prison food for a few years then this is the place to go. My husband and I decided that the devil was just testing us to see if we could handle the bad decision of eating at this restaurant. This was money wasted but we decided this was a lesson learned that we would never go back in this lifetime. read more

Have been going to Sage Diner for years and have noticed the food quality deteriorate over time. This last time had pancakes and the syrup was a no name watery concoction. The prices have jumped now a single waffle is $6.99 and at check out you're slapped with a 2.99% upcharge if you use a credit card. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. While Sage could make some improvements to their exterior, it's in the interior where the magic happens. Sage brings to the table a true home feel. Most of the menu is home made and feels very fresh. Both the breakfast and lunch menus contain decent variety, lots of options to choose from. Prices are great, a real bang for your buck. Quality of the food is above average for me. MOST of the menu items are delicious while few stand out as pretty poor. The sausage for breakfast is pretty raw, cold, and bland. The steak is definitely frozen yet I still think the country fried steak is one of the best items on the menu. The juices are pricey for juice and no free refills on them. Other than those minor issues, sage is a nice small family eatery with plenty of options and great prices. read more

Walked in with low expectations... visiting the area. The food was generally poor... I went for a biscuit and gravy... not quite up to par. The sausage in the gravy may have been sausage powder. The gravy was pretty coldz I'm general I wouldn't recommend. read more

The Sage Diner was recommended to me by a local I trust. OOPS! It was a one of a kind place where many of the waitresses had tattoos and missing teeth. That's OK if the food is good, but this wasn't that kind of place. My "blueberry pancakes" came not with blueberries inside, but rather with a scoop of blueberry goo (like pie filling) on top. The scrambled eggs tasted like the butter-substitute they used on the grill. The service was slow, and got far slower after the church crowd arrived (I'm glad I didn't have to wait through that). You'd do better going to the major national 24-hour chain famous for it's breakfast ... and believe me, I'm not a fan of that place either. read more

Clean, appealing decor. Great food. Family had French toast, waffles. Chocolate chip pancakes, western omelette, Taylor pork roll and hash browns. All were well cooked & prepared. Server was very friendly and sweet. Did not give 5 stars because I rarely do, and because it was hard to get a 2nd cup of coffee. Would come back! read more

We came here to get breakfast. They have a lot of choices on their menu, a big breakfast menu and also a large lunch menu. We came during the transition of breakfast to lunch and looked at both menus. I liked that fries, soup, a pickle, and coleslaw came with the sandwiches especially for the price. Our server was an older woman, she came off very very rude.. but I don't think she meant to be rude so I didn't really mind it, I thought it was funny. She got overwhelmed very easily despite the fact that there were only a couple tables seated, I think she had one table other than ours. We asked her for a refill on coffee and for extra cream and sugar and she said "Ok slow down... I can't do everything at once". Lmao what. And then after my husband ordered, I was ordering, and as I was listing what I wanted on my sandwich, my husband remembered he forgot to add mayo to his, so he said that to her, and she put her finger up and said let me finish her order first. Lol. I got the chicken noodle soup, which tasted like it had come out of a can, it wasn't that good. I never got my fries, so I had to ask for it. I also never got the coleslaw or pickle, but I was full by the time my server came back anyway so I didn't bother asking. Overall, I liked my food and the menu. The service could be improved because most people aren't as patient as I am when it comes to a server's slowness and rudeness. It's a nice place though. read more

Sage has yummy food and wonderful, friendly staff! always a good stop for a bite to eat on the way to/from the beach!

Came into town early for a funeral, Sat A.M. packed, had to put napkins in my ears . Great service, Philly menu, never seen Taylor Pork Roll on menu since.... Got a waffle with the pork, wonder if they know how to cook scrapple! Wife on low carb, ordered broccoli omelette, was not offered tomatoes, cottage cheese, alt for rejected toast and home fries...... Mehh. Good Luck. read more

Quick service! Extensive menu items. We ordered breakfast and food was delicious. Are here 3 mornings in a row. Excellent food and value.

Amazing staff, amazing food! Our waiter always has the kindest smile on his face and treats us exceptionally. My friends and I love to come in after a late night and enjoy a wonderful breakfast. The pies are also to die for- recommend the coconut cream. read more

The place was packed on a Sunday afternoon, which let us know that this place was worth trying. Very large menu with typical dinner food and much more, including several Greek items. Wait staff could not be any friendlier. Food was very good. We got a Philly Cheese Steak, Clam Strips, Fish and Chips, a Greek Spinich Pie, as well as Greek Salads and chicken soup. Food was served in a timely manner. We did not have any complaints about the quality and the server checked on us several times. Portions were large and we had enough leftoevers for dinner that evening. Only negatives would be the decor is certainly dated and in need of some upgrades. There was also a leak in the ceiling that was dripping onto the floor behind us making the floor dangerously slick and unbenonsed to us had been dripping onto my jacket that was sitting behind our booth. We will certainly going back to this location when we are back in the area. read more

Went to go see Salisbury University with my sister and decided to have a quick bite. The parking lot was completely empty at lunch time. The food was alright; I ordered the calamari basket and got clam strips instead - wasn't in the mood to argue though. The price was right for what you got. And the service was good, as the waitress checked on us several times and refilled our water glasses regularly. read more

If you want a quick meal passing through, it's Kool spot. Cheap, clean & enough food.

Has vegan friendly options, you just need to tweak them a little. They also sell a veggie burger, but I didn't see that when I went in with family, so I couldn't ask. Sadly, they sell things like veal, but if you're dragged on an outing to a "family diner" this one HAS vegan options, so if you have any say, insist here. read more

$9.71 for breakfast including coffee and tip. Expectations are pretty low for this genre of dining: the "breakfast place". Truth be told, Sage Diner serves lunch and dinner but the parking lot is almost always full at breakfast time and less so otherwise. Booths, 4-top tables and a counter are available for seating. I always ask for a booth. Service is rushed so be ready to order when your white-haired waitress scoots by. Today I ordered the pancakes, scrapple and coffee. For those of you not from the mid-Atlantic region Scrapple is the low-rent cousin of Spam. The closest thing I have ever had to Scrapple is Haggis in Scotland. The three large hotcakes were presented hot as was the scrapple. Faux maple syrup and faux butter were served with the hot cakes. The coffee (endless cup) was hot but not as robust and bitter as I prefer. Sage Diner is pretty much your large serving, low priced diner-sort-of place. Do not come here if you are looking for fine dining as you'll be disappointed. If you are hungry and looking for a low-priced place to fill up on decently prepared food then you'll be glad you stopped in. read more

This place is great if you're short on cash, and starving first thing in the morning. They offer a $2.99 breakfast that always hits the spot. The only reason for the lack of stars is the service. If you're in a hurry, then avoid this place. However, I have good memories of outstanding conversation and a full tummy! I suggest you try it for yourself! read more

Eggs Benedict- hard boiled poached eggs, spam like Canadian bacon- tasteless hollandaise. Tacky ads on the tabletop. This place gives diners a bad name. Extra star for quick friendly waitress. read more

I wouldn't call this place a greasy spoon, or even a diner really. It has the feel of a small town family restaurant, complete with ads permanently on the tops of the tables. My husband and I went here for breakfast, and the entire experience was "meh". They do a great job at getting people in and out, the food came out fast, and the server was very attentive. That being said, the food was very bland. My home fries and eggs were under seasoned and didn't taste as though nary a grain of salt had touched them. Perhaps this is desirable to their sodium restricted elderly clientele, but left my breakfast lacking in taste. All in all, it was fine and more reasonable than going to one of the chain breakfast joints. We will probably try it again. read more

Great food that reminds me of home, always nice waiters and they're always soooo quick with bringing your food and it's cheap!!

I would give this zero stars if I could. I ordered roast beef which was some sort of square meat "block". It was grainy and tasteless. They said they would take it off my bill, which they did. But then they charged me for the salad that was supposed to come as part of the entree. I asked the waitress about it and she said the owner insisted that I be charged for something. I hope he enjoys that $3. Never going here again. read more
