Went today with friends for lunch. Got the turkey club. Comes with fries pickle and cole slaw. Great club, fries were tasty too. Combine with an excellent waitress and it was well worth the trip. Highly recommended if you are in the area read more

Met family for Sun Breakfast. Good diner food, clean, and average service. We will most likely return. Sister restaurant if Sungate Diner in Marcus Hook read more

Milkshakes and fries always fire here. Especially when it's 4am and you can't sleep you get the thought for something salty savory and sweet stargate comes to mind, yes they're open and yes them fries are hot, the shakes are chilled and ready for your tastes buds. Enjoy! They also DoorDash for when you just feel like a bum XD read more

Enjoyed the food. Excellent service. Warm atmosphere. Nice to know there is a place opened 24 hours to get a bite to eat.

This food is so good. And not too expensive either. Nice little local place where everyone knows each other. The shrimp Alfredo was good. And my husband had the Gyro wrap which was good. I want to make room for the cake that looks so good but we will see read more

I asked the waitress not to spray use the very strong scented cleaning agent near me in order to avoid an asthma attack. She ignored me, sprayed 3 tables anyway. Then she walked away-came back to wipe the tables farthest from me & argued with me. I did have an asthma attack because of her. I wasn't going to hang around for my meal because of my allergic reaction. I've eaten there for 13 years, now, but I'll never go back. She refused to get me the manager or tell me her name. The service has consistently gone downhill the entire time I've eaten here. read more

This used to be my go to diner on a daily basis until the other week when the got new menus. New menu usually means raising prices. Well my eggs went from 4.99 to 7.99 a $3.00 increase. Do you think this is acceptable ? I definitely don't and I don't plan on going back. It is unfortunate because the staff is nice but that is by no means a reflection of the greedy owners. This is the only 24hour diner in the area so why not take advantage of the locals!!! read more

Stopped here on the way back from the airport and was pleasantly surprised. We got the excellent French dip sandwich, a burger and the broiled flounder. The food was fresh and tasty. The service by Jessica was excellent. She really took care of us with a great attitude and attention to detail. She made our visit. The prices are reasonable and it will become our new post airport dinner stop read more

This place doesn't look like much. But being a diner ain't about winning beauty contests. it's about finding a good enough meal at a decent enough price. Check on both accounts. Most importantly, they passed my Diner French Toast Test... with flying colors I might add. Thick, enough egg batter for consistency, sprinkled sugar and cinnamon, perfect mix... check. Also... waitresses at the counter who will chat about current events with you, check. Old guys in a corner arguing politics... check. I've been comparing prices lately on this particular breakfast. The meal of 3 slices of French Toast, 2 eggs, and breakfast meat comes to about $9.50 here. Coffee not included. I've had it from 9 bucks with coffee included to as high as 11 bucks with no coffee in local diners in the past month or two. But the quality here was better than the cheap diner so it's a win. read more

Service slow and food quality has slipped. Waited a long time to get served and the food was nothing to write home about. read more

We were looking for a place for breakfast yesterday while in the area and came across the Stargate Diner. After quickly reading the reviews, I must admit I was a bit worried but the parking lot was pretty much packed (not bad for a Monday mid-morning!) so I figured how bad could it be!?! Our party of five was seated right away and coffee was served quickly. Once we placed our orders, our food came out within about ten minutes and with the exception of having to ask for the bacon we had ordered and one order of toast being missing, everything was hot and fresh and just as we ordered. I had no complaints about my Western Omelet and my daughter and my mom both enjoyed the Spanish Omelet. My stepdad had the Country Omelet (I think that's what it was called) and my husband had a platter with eggs, home fries, pancakes, sausage and bacon. We had no problems whatsoever with the food - it was right up to par with other diners/breakfast joints. I didn't see any other customers complaining about anything - everyone seemed perfectly content - so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. read more

I was charged almost $16 for frozen chicken tenders. The portion was small, and they were cold and soggy, not crispy. Very disappointing.

Me and my buddies eat there every Friday night... You can't beat it !!!! Andy who works there takes care of all of us sometimes 6 sometimes 8 even as many as 10 people he is the man read more

I came in a little inebriated it thinking I was going to find out greasy spoon but this is just horrible not worth it stop keep it moving read more

Stargate Diner - I had to three eggs turkey sausage was quite disgusted - Diners Near Me - Ridley Park, Pennsylvania

I recently landed upon the Stargate Diner while looking for a midpoint to meet a colleague, and I was pleasantly surprised all around with the Stargate. From the outside and inside you can easily tell the building is a converted Burger King. The decor is sparse, and there isn't much too look at out the big windows- but most importantly, the place is clean. The staff was friendly and super attentive; coffees and waters constantly refilled and all requests quickly met. The food was delicious. I got my go to diner breakfast: fried egg sandwich with bacon and a side of home fries. The sandwich was one of the best I've had. If in the area, I would stop at the Stargate again. read more

Walked in and was greeted by an angry lady that did not liked her job at all. I'd rather eat shitty food from Wawa then this place. Until the lady cools down read more

I've had to downgrade this place. Although the breakfast food is still acceptable, my tastes have expanded and I've been wooed by local, small, hipster venues! The difference is night and day. Fresh products as opposed to canned and frozen. One in Ridley Park, Woodlyn, Wallingford, then on to Media and the poor diner is lost. Time marches on and people want to eat healthier food. Que sera, Stargate! You still attract many boomers! read more

This is the Best Dinner around as far as I'm concerned. Everything on the menu is Great. The people are Great. Open 24 Hrs a day. Andy was the best Host! read more

I ordered a cheese steak wrap and received a cheese steak instead. Also I'm disabled and stay in the rear of the house and I requested my delivery brought there but they left it on the front steps which I have no way to get it. My grandson happened to stop by and that's how I got my food. It will be a while before I order again, they have to learn the difference between a wrap and a steak sandwich and they need to have people that can read and follow directions. If UPS can deliver to the back they should be able to do so also. read more

Good food, LARGE portions. Tasty, but nothing spectacular. Stop in, eat some solid food, head out. Simple the way I like it

The Stargate Diner has been one of my favorite spots to go for years, as it's so close to my home and open 24 hours, I go 2-3 times a week. I always have great service here and would recommend eating at this diner. The staff is friendly and it's a real family environment. They really listen to concerns and keep regulars and customers input in mind. If you ask me for food recommendations I would recommend getting anything from from the first 2 pages in the menu and to stop at the quesadilla section on the 3rd page, I would also tell you to get anything from the back page breakfast section (served all day). The dinner section is hit or miss but recently I have seen great improvements here. If you are looking for a new go to spot then look no further! read more

I love diners, and this place is a true, old-fashioned, great-food diner. My significant other and his Mom and Mom-Mom have been going here for years and continue to love it, for both the memories and the food. Each meal I've had has been delicious; however I've only ever ordered breakfast food. I'm one of those people who goes to a diner SPECIFICALLY to have breakfast for dinner, and this place has yet to disappoint. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I was told not to eat here during the summer. Both my BF and his friend have eaten here in the summer multiple times and have gotten food poisoning. It was from eating a meal with chicken in it, and their theory is that the due to the heat, the meat may be left out for too long and subsequently go bad, making them sick. Unfortunately, this wasn't just a one time thing, it happened to each of them a few times during the summer, so we reserve our visits to this diner for the cooler seasons. I personally have never gotten sick nor have I ever had a bad meal, but knowing that information, I felt that it warranted a star less as well as a warning to the owners to make sure the meat is being properly chilled during the hotter weather. I haven't let this stop me from eating my breakfast-for-dinner, and I don't plan on it stopping me either :) read more

Very solid Delaware County diner, on par with some of the better diners in the area. It's also one of the few places to eat late in the area (that isn't fast food). This morning was the first time I've been there for breakfast, I usually go after work for late night dining. There was a line at the door to get in, but we were seated in 2 minutes. Waitress service was fast. I got french toast with eggs, my date got the Big Pig sandwich (also an excellent choice). Thank you Steve S. for your review of the french toast, it was some of the best french toast I've ever had. I'm so glad I ordered it. The Big Pig sandwich is a HUGE double portion of pulled pork, covered in bacon and smothered in cheddar cheese, topped with a fresh onion ring. It was enough sandwich for two people. read more

Just got take out and they didn't include pickles or cole slaw with my or my husband's food. Come ON!! Ughhhhhhh.

I had an absolute GREAT experience!! Great Portions...Friendly waitstaff and Host...Food was DELICIOUS!!!!! Iam a certified chef and current in school for Restaurant management, Its so comforting to know that when I dont feel up preparing my own meals, I have a great comfort food spot less then a mile away!!! Great job guys!!! read more

So good! What a cool restaurant! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with scrambled eggs, homefries, and sausage gravy. It was so good!! The steak was great and the eggs were good!! Loved it so much!! Will be back soon read more

Used to be a great place, until the recent rennovations. Food was reliably good to very good, service was friendly, prices were reasonable and portions were fairly generous. The past few months have seen some changes, though, after some fix-ups and improvements in the place, along with a new menu that's trying - and failing - to camoflage a basic hole-in-the-wall diner as if it were a real restaurant. They're trying to be a "real restaurant" instead of a neighborhood diner, and they're making mistakes. No doubt the rennovations were costly : new lighting, replacing the water-stained ceiling panels, new tile work, maybe a couple other less visible improvements. Some crackpot accountant must have told the owners to recover the costs by raising prices, reducing portions and skimping on service. And boy, did they fall for THAT bad advice. Prices are much higher with the "new" menu, now including way overpriced appetizers. The menu expanded a little, but it's all still basic diner food, and not substantially better (or worse) quality than it's been for years ... just 15%-20% more expensive than the old menu. Is a 10-inch hoagie that rates a 6 or 7 out of 10 worth $8 plus tip when you can get a bigger & better hoagie at the local deli or corner pizza shop for a similar price (or less) ? How good does a $7+ cheesburger have to be when you can get as good a sandwich at Mickey D's for almost half that ? Portion sizes are also down : smaller servings of veggies, about half the fries you used to get with many meals, and noticably more ice & less beverage. Soup's served in smaller bowls and the dessert portions are now thin enough to read a newspaper through. Service isn't what it used to be, either. Friendly, efficient wait staff has had more serious turnover than usual. Apparently, the hiring standards have dropped way down - no doubt along with the pay, I'd bet. If you're desperately hungry and don't mind overpriced, only-slightly-better than mediocre food and gum-snapping, slow wait staff, the Stargate Diner is worth a try. Otherwise, drive on and you're sure to find someplace better. read more

I've been here twice and it was like night and day. The first time, service was quick, my breakfast came exactly as I ordered and I went on my way. The next time? OMG. I ordered the exact same thing and the cook could not get my eggs right. I'm very specific about how I like my eggs and after three failed attempts, I said forget it. Eggs over medium well people. No runny whites or yolks and I like my yolk moist! (I know, I'm worse than most Starbucks Divas when it comes to my eggs). Surely am experienced breakfast chef can figure it out. The waitress was kind but slow. She tried but when the hashbrowns weren't crispy, as ordered, it was time to go. Hit or miss on your eggs. read more

This is a fantastic spot for breakfast. The food is always amazing no matter what time of day I come here it is always fresh, hot and of great quality. The staff is always polite and attentive. Creamed chipped beef is to die for!!! read more

Starlight Diner has the absolutely best breakfast I ever had. I'm glad it's within walking distance to where I live.

Experience good. Don't usually order pancakes but had a taste for them so got a short stack. Pancakes very good wasn't expecting pancake syrup to be in take out packets. Eggs cooked just as requested. Funny grew up going there and had some memorable feeling as this place was our favorite Burger King!!!! read more

Ok parking.. plenty of it establishment very clean service was excellent !! and food was delicious. I realize this is a short review but I have nothing bad to say. I would definitely come back here. read more

What a horrible little place. Never got the chance to try the food because we were made to wait for an inordinate amount of time at the door, even though clean tables were available. Staff even lied to us and told us no tables were available. I sure hope this experience had nothing to do with skin color. read more

Such a shame!! For year, this place was our go-to place for a yummy, quick, simple meal. Unfortunately, recent changes have really taken the place to a new-low. A few months ago the drop off was noticed. For instance, I ordered a piece of chocolate cake to finish off an "ok" meal (husband's dinner wasn't prepared correctly). The cake was clearly old- the entire side of it was hard. When I told the waitress the problem, she showed it to the manager who effectively told me there was nothing wrong with it. I told him to eat it but I'd not be paying for it- regardless of whether they'd take it off the bill (which the waitress did eventually). Hoping this was a one-off, we've returned several times since then and each time either the food isn't good, or the prices are inconsistent. Yesterday sealed the deal when we wound up being charged $4.50 for A SINGLE blueberry PANCAKE! (yes only 1!) ($3.25 for a single pancake is insane to start off with but then hit with an extra $1.25 for about 12 blueberries.) When I mentioned this to the person at the register, I got no response or acknowledgement of the issue at all. So, not only is the product inferior, the prices higher, but the management is choosing to do nothing to rectify issues with their (formerly) loyal clientele. There are other restaurants just down the street that will now get our business. Three strikes and your out Stargate. We will not be back. read more

5:43 am friday, not open, says 24 hours but again mislead by out of date information on yelp

This place rocks!!! Plenty of parking, plenty of seating and super clean! The staff is super helpful and the food is top notch. I put in a big order after work one night worth well over $200 and they did not bat an eye and was out of there within 15 minutes. The coffee is incredible too, it's not your average store brand. I believe it's a local brew? read more

Okay food, good prices, but you literally have to beg for a refill of coffee! And don't sit at the counter- they do their side work there and stack dirty dishes and spray bottles of detergent RIGHT NEXT TO YOU WHILE YOU EAT! Also- the staff spends all their time gossiping with each other about their baby's fathers, Wildwood, and tv shows while you sit there waiting for service! Also- the atmosphere is lousy. Feels like you're eating in a dentist office waiting room! read more

The food here was pretty good, I had an omelette and my friend had the French toast. Both of our dishes came out quite timely and looked good on the plate. The coffee wasn't bad and I have no complaints about the service. Inside had impeccable lighting and felt comfortable. Would recommend. read more

Good breakfast. Pretty standard and nothing outstanding. Meat portion was a bit lacking. Mostly empty each morning we went so not all that popular. Would return if in the area again. read more
