We stopped in around noon on a Friday. The service was awesome! Our server was 5/5. I ordered the chorizo omelette and a side of bacon. The Mrs. had the Rueben sandwich. Both were good. My only issue is if you choose to not have potatoes with an omelette, you still have to pay for them. I found that as a kind of a weird diner policy. Many other diners take out the potato price. The place was clean and our server made up for that. read more

Sylvania Diner - Chorizo omelette and side of bacon. No potatoes. - New American Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

A real good breakfast spot with a Lebanese twist! I love a good breakfast spot but I LOVE different food to try. This place serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and has amazing and different dishes to try. I went with a basic breakfast since I was sharing with my little. The Hash-browns were great and the gravy on top was absolutely amazing! Lots of locals here which always means you're in a good place! The staff was so nice and knows all the regulars' orders. read more

Friendly diner that makes the best crispy bacon in town. Wish I would have taken a photo before I ate it all. Tiny portion of baklava though. Kind of a boomer hangout. read more

After living in the Sylvania area for 20 years, I decided to try the Sylvania Diner for the first time and my overall impression was "just ok". I went there on a Saturday morning for breakfast around 7:30 am. When I stepped in I was greeted by a weird and unpleasant smell. After taking a seat at a booth overlooking the parking lot, I noticed the table had an overall sticky feeling that is most likely a permanent feature. Though only 5 or 6 tables were occupied, the initial service was slow with only one waitress working. However she was quite pleasant and accommodating once she arrived. I ordered The Charlie with Ham, over medium and home fried potatoes. Portion size was good, typical for a Toledo area diner. Food quality was average and may have been better if I didn't have to endure that weird smell. Oh, and the glass of water had an off taste, at least to me. I was hoping to like it and go back for lunch sometime, but I'm not too sure that will happen anytime soon. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place. The Star Diner, Grumpy's or the Mayberry Diner would be much better choices if looking for a place in the Sylvania area. read more

Sylvania Diner - The Charlie with Eggs Over Medium, Ham, and Home Fry Potatoes covered with Sausage Gravy. - New American Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

Had a fabulous country skillet for breakfast. It has all the things, mushrooms, onion, sausage, cheese with two poached eggs and sausage gravy over everything. Was supposed to come with green pepper but I don't care for them so I subbed in spinach and that was a great choice...they gave me plenty and it really added to the dish. My grandson had the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes and a sausage patty. He loved it. They have kids meals but he's a big eater and he did almost finish the two huge pancakes that he got from the regular menu. Our server was nice and checked on us regularly. They have a small parking lot and it was full so I thought we would have a wait but no we sat right down...so don't be intimidated if there aren't any or many parking spots. read more

This would have been three stars except for the excellent service. The Hollandaise was okay. The eggs were slightly over cooked, but everything tasted fine, but not exceptional. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. I'll give them another try for lunch. read more

We stopped for breakfast after an appointment nearby, after reading some good reviews. I got the Greek omelet and it was delicious. Coffee was good as well. We got some baklava for later and I'm looking forward to trying . Our server was great and right on top of things. We asked for an adjustment on the order and she let us know right away there would be an up charge so we would t be surprised later. read more

BINGO! This morning was my first time eating here but certainly not my last. I had the meat lovers omelette....great, home fries.....great, pancakes....the Best I have ever had. Everything was exceptional. Very attentive staff, our waitress, Rana made our dining the best. Never waited for anything, she was just who you want when you out to eat. Great job to one and all at the Sylvania Diner. Definitely endorse this one. read more

As a night shift worker this is my go to spot for breakfast and a drink in the morning. Who doesn't love a 2.00$ margarita and a full menu at 7am? The staff are very friendly, the pricing is great. They have a nice mix of traditional american fare as well as middle eastern classics. You wouldn't expect a place that serves omelettes and burgers to have great hummus and gyros, but they do! If you've never stopped in I highly recommend it. They also do fast pick up if you work nearby and need a quick lunch option. I would give it 5 stars, but the hours are limited and at times some of my fav menu items have been unavailable. read more

Sylvania Diner - When you've had a shit night at work - New American Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

Eh. Burgers are not made to order....Because they are Soy burgers. Waitress Korie says 'yes we can cook to order'. What Diner can't make a burger cooked to order? THIS ONE. Not impressed at all. #lame. Won't be back. read more

Fast service in the morning, good portion, quiet atmosphere. Love coming here for breakfast with my mother in law.

Was brought here by a friend in the area and really enjoyed my breakfast for so many levels. Other than the signage out front this place doesn't really stand out. Huge breakfasts for decent prices compared to the chains. Good coffee, refilled often and omlettes made to order in the style I love. Instead of the big whipped egg fluffy omlettes they use the whole grill to make a thin pancake of egg then it's wrapped around your choice of fillings. Will def be back when I am in the area to try some fo the lebanese goodies on the menu that I didn't get a chance to try. Very dive-y local kinda joint that yes, could use a serious make over but then I think you'd lose some of the charm places like this still have over the chain restaurant blandness many people have come to accept. PS: I love the blue sky panels over the recessed flourecesnt lighting read more

Horrible. Waitress less than friendly. Cod in the fish and chips so thin can't find the fish. Gyro meat burnt and crispy in the sandwich. Totally not impressed and will not return read more

"Happenstance" I started my day by going to get an oil change at Dave White Chevy. I didn't want to wait for an hour in the waiting room so I started walking up Sylvania Avenue towards the "Golden Arches" of McDonald's. Then, I caught the signage of the Sylvania Diner. I had previously seen Instagram photos of their corned beef hash and creamed beef. I had always assumed it was down Sylvania near Mancy's Steak House or White Tower. I finally walk in to a chorus of "Hellos"...Then, I was asked "for here or to go?" Everyone in the Diner stopped talking to hear my response. "Here please" Just to make simple, I order bacon, toast and eggs over medium. My food came out in less than 5 minutes. The toast was lightly toasted & buttered. Bacon was perfectly crispy and the eggs were exactly like I like them...crispy edges with the white part cooked! I ordered a glass of apple juice that was enough for two people for half the price I usually pay. The Aesthetics of the place could be tightened up a bit but I guess I shouldn't expect it to look like a place in Soho. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Sylvania Diner to anyone who needed a meal between errands or while waiting for an oil change. :) read more

Sylvania Diner - White toast, crispy bacon and eggs over medium - New American Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

I ordered the Greek omelet home friess and toast. My boyfriend ordered the meat omelet hash browns and toast. He said he his was good and a fair price for portion size. Big portions but a little bland. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Would like to go back for lunch or dinner and try the Lebanese fare. read more

Sylvania Diner - Greek Omelet, homefries, and toast - New American Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

I gave 2 stars because the other person in my partty has a decent 3 star breakfast. I had a Gyro Greek salad with crispy, old meat. It ranks as the worst Gyro Salad ever. Still think I might give them another shot. read more

Older diner in need of a serious make-over. Pretty good breakfast food, I am picky about both my eggs (over med well) and my bacon (well) and the majority of restaurants get both wrong...SD had no issues. The pancakes, however, were bland and had a hint of plastic taste, ick. The price was less than other spots in the area. Overall, we'll go back for a quickie, affordable breakfast. read more

The lentil soup was great but the vegetarian combo was marred by the fact that the olive oil used tasted like it was going rancid. Service was slow because they had only one waitress. read more

Super breakfast each and every time. I write this review to contrast the poor meal I was served at Grumpy's in Sylvania.

A basic diner -- middle of the road menu, with capable service and reasonable prices. It won't blow you away, but a straightforward place for breakfast or lunch in Sylvania. read more

Definitely don't recommend this restaurant, lots of Grease floating in your plate , I watched one of the cooks pretty gross .. EAT at your own risk! read more

Disgusting Please treat yourself to a better meal. Spend a couple of extra bucks and get better food like at idk Mcdonalds. Believe me it was that bad. read more

So I just want to start out with that the wait staff was very nice and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. Unfortunately that's where the good ends. Pretty much everything was sticky. My coffee mug was sticky despite me only drinking my coffee black, the table was sticky, and the bathrooms were atrocious. From there I ordered the 2 eggs, toast, and corned beef hash. The eggs were pretty standard and the toast was well buttered but there were a bunch of black flakes in my corned beef hash. Now you'd say "Well, they just cooked your corned beef a little longer so it was nice and crispy." To you I would say that my corned beef hash was barely warmed up and it wasn't even browned so this was due to a dirty griddle. The sad part was the restaurant was more than half empty so I'm not sure why they couldn't clean. All in all, might try again if the cleanliness improved. read more

We had a party of 12 for breakfast with out of town guests. All orders were not placed at the same time as to not overwhelm the kitchen. Sadly, the breakfast foods were unsatisfactory to inedible. Most of us left food. We had to ask for refills on the coffee and no plates were cleared before we left. No inquiry by the waitstaff if everything was ok. It was just the poorest service. I was embarrassed because it was my suggestion as friends and I had had a good breakfast there about a year ago. The plus side was the middle eastern dishes ordered were very good. read more

Just a typical diner with a breakfast special. They try to make up for lack of cooking skills with an over abundance of over cooked potatoes. The restaurant needs a good cleaning. To many places close by to go back. read more

Do no ever go here. The people are so rude and it smells like grease. We went for breakfast on Saturday and no one was there. There were 2 waitresses and neither acknowledged us. I would give them 0 stars if possible. read more

I would've missed the place, if my sis-in-law hadn't told me where to turn -- almost camouflaged in a mini-strip. There's an American-diner side of the menu, and a Lebanese side of the menu. Both good, from my experience. Friendly help, willing to answer questions of those not familiar with Lebanese food. Definitely a keeper! read more

I wish I could give negative stars- this place gives new meaning to the word "awful." Waited 15 minutes after sitting down just to be greeted and asked what we wanted to drink. Our waitress argued with another in front of our table over who would have to take us (table of two- not too much work). Service was so rude we were actually laughing about it. Food took over an hour to come out and was cold and just not good. Interior of diner should have been a warning sign when we walked in- pretty dumpy building. No redeeming qualities. Stay away! read more

It's just your average coney island style meals. I've already been there a few times. It's good food, but not something to brag about. More like a place for a quick get together or Sunday morning breakfast. read more

Went with a friend for breakfast. Service was OK. Asked for cottage cheese instead of potatoes (a normal sub in most places) Chef said No. Omelets were dry & bland. Toast coated with that pre- melted oleo. Bacon hard. Will not be going back. read more

Great little spot in Sylvania, Ohio. Food was solid and the wait staff was very nice. Had breakfast. The portion size was great for the price. 5 stars read more

Food is great. Love going here with my family. We always have Diane Hahn she is the best server you could ever have. She takes great care of you and will tell you if something is worth trying or not and makes everyone feel like family! If you go in ask for DIANE HAHN and tip accordingly because the server wage is only 4.75 a hour and they live off good tips!! read more

First time visiting and will not return. The service was good, in fact I felt bad even telling the waitress how terrible the food was. Had the Gyro Sandwich with a side of cheese fries. The gyro meat tasted old and hard. The worst gyro I have ever had. The pita was so thin and dried out I couldn't eat it. No wonder there was only two other people in the place at 1:00pm on a Saturday. read more

Not sure why there are bad reviews. There may be a new owner.I've been happy all the 4 times I've ate here. My favorite? The Chicken Kabob.Cooked fresh. This might not be the place to order gyro meat...a dish best bought from a high turnover establishment.....but the sampler platter was good as were the breakfasts we have bought. read more

Cute little spot with authentic Lebanese American food. Try the chili mac - it is what they are known for.

I had breakfast after I was looking for a place and I was told about this Diner. I found it and it isn't far from my house and I didn't even know of it. It is a nice descent sized place with a good amount of parking. They had a pretty extensive sized menu with a lot of different choices of food. I had eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and a BOWL of fresh fruit.There are very friendly and helpful waitresses and thank goodness because I had several questions. Everything was good, descent prices and prepared as I requested. I was very satisfied. I came back this week to try other things that looked so good on the menu that I like. I had a Belgian Waffle with cherries, the bowl of fresh fruit again, corned beef hash, homefries and everything was very good. I really liked the Belgian waffle, probably best I've had. Cherries and sauce were thick not runny. Good size portions and as you might guess, I had to take the homefries home. I eat a lot but too big of eyes I guess. I wanted to try different offerings they had. I enjoyed all that I had and I think I found a favorite restraunt. Next time I am going to try the Rueben sandwich and home made soup or one of their big salads. I can't believe I never knew this place was here. I would suggest this diner to anyone. I was very pleased. read more

I was in Toledo for a family event and stumbled upon The Sylvania Diner while we were running errands. I had breakfast and my friend ordered a Lebanese dish. Wait staff was cordial and the food was great. This is a great local spot if you are in the area. Could use a little updating, but for what it is it's nice. Great prices and large portions. It's worth checking out. read more
