Good portions. Flavorful and healthy. Everything was very clean including entrance.

Quality meals at reasonable prices. Has that home town diner feel with great friendly service.

This is first time since new owners and I was very happy I gave it a try. This is a cozy spot off of RT 23 in Delaware, looks like an old diner car. I ordered breakfast biscuits covered with hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and cheese. Bacon on top. This is enough for 2 people! Very good. My husband ordered the bacon cheese burger with onion rings. He said it was great! The prices are low and good quick services. The waitress and staff were very friendly! read more

New place, service was average, salad was decent and the fried green tomatoes was my favorite. Crispy outside was so good contrasted with the green tomatoes! Ranch that was there for them was a little sour. I think they pre portion them so maybe ours was not refrigerated? read more

Great food, friendly waitress, clean table/booth. I got bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns- all delicious! My husband got their breakfast burrito, it came out piping hot and fresh. So good! I also tried their pumpkin pancakes, which were so delicious and had a crispy edge. We will definitely be back! read more

The Delaware Diner - Eggs & bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

The food would have been good if they could have read the request for no powdered sugar. I added it to the the order. I had to end up making my food at home after all. Maybe don't offer a section to request modifications to menu items if you won't look at them. I couldn't eat the meal because it came with heavy powdered sugar. read more

Delaware Diner is now back OPEN AGAIN!, under new management! They opened back in June 2025 and have been in about five months. Alright, Let's go!.... The good the bad and the ugly! GOOD: with a traditional Americana menu everything you want for breakfast is gonna be here, but unlike the past Diner, there are no interesting oddities like the smoked salmon themed menu item that tried to make it stay with the past Owner. Today, I tried the yop breakfast item in price, steak and eggs, and received a quarter inch ribeye cut with a respectable cap, after slicing it in long 1/4's. I guess they are CUTTING EXPENSES! The steak, which could've been thicker, was cooked Medium Rare Push salted/blackened; not really a steakhouse-- I overplayed the order. It was indeed good enough to eat, to get some protein & the two eggs over medium cook correctly the FIRST TIME, and I would've gone for rye toast, but it was marbled rye, without seeds, which I prefer, so I just went with the biscuit..... which was good and steam me on the inside, which I split, open, and deposited too cold open yourself butters on the inside and let them melt. I would've added honey to make breakfast bottle, which I do it other places like BobEvans in a pinch, but there is no honey on the table. I did not request it I added on ala carte single waffle, when typically an order comes with two, so I appreciate him pouring one on the side. I got something that was doing a little bit interesting, definitely artistic and presentation, dripped into the waffle mold, and came out in an artistic shape, other than a full circle with a 3 inch radius. ---It was more like the size of your fist if you put it on the table, but it was! Delicious, ---with chunks of maby brownsugar surprising you in every bite, as though brown sugar chunks had been left in the batter unmixed to completeness- nice!. The heat of the waffle melted the salty butter, and the pockets captured the cold syrup that wasn't warmed, but as I came back to the waffle towards at the end of the meal, after some simmering, it all melted together, and started soaking into the top and was an excellent end to a tasty breakfast. All in, i was full but the portions were light enough to leave room for this very surprising breakfast dessert waffle add-on. MAKE SURE TO try at least one waffle on the side! BAD: as mentioned before, the steak was about a quarter inch thick, and visually not impressive, but for $14.99 you probably can't give away too much meat. I still feel like it was a #GreatValue and my final bill ended up being $28 even with a coffee and large orange juice. UGLY: I didn't make a trip to the bathrooms on this visit, but usually that's where the ugly shows up. I'd have to give them two thumbs up for now as it was very clean and they've taken down the dividers from Covid, which mainly fuel before with the old owner like you had privacy, but that you had walked in a private cell ; and now the restaurant is visually open as you can see across the entire room. So! not really much UGLE to report here today, and I would recommend giving this location your ONGOING SUPPORT, because we need to keep this place open for spontaneous 23 drives, --it's a great place to pop off and get breakfast. Or, If you need to get up in the morning and get out of the house from too much working at home, this is a nice 25 minute drive for breakfast. read more

The food is really tasty! I have had the Country Breakfast Bowl, the Meat Lovers Omelet and Biscuits and gravy. All meals were really good. As was the chicken noodle soup and Bologna sandwich. Service is good. I've had a few different servers and not all of them have given me drink refills. The diner is well lit and the air conditioner is fixed and it's cool inside. read more

The food just missed perfection. French toast Was good just a little soggy in middle. Eggs Benedict was good, tomato on one was not ripe enough to eat. Love the real diner ambiance and service was very attentive read more

We tried out the new Delaware Diner on Rt. 23 on a busy Sunday morning. We did have to wait for about 10-15 minutes but wow it was worth the wait. The staff were so very sweet and friendly. Although they were very busy running around making sure to accommodate everyone, not one staff member seemed out of sorts. All of them had smiles on their faces and continued to greet and talk to anyone and everyone they came in contact with. Both my husband and I had wonderful dishes. The sausage and gravy is spot on. We will be back to try out some more delicious options. read more

The Delaware Diner - Breakfast Bowl! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

Very nice veggie omelet and whole wheat toast. My friend enjoyed her corn beef hash. Service was customer friendly----and it much better with the new management. It is a nice place to have a conversation. Lunch business draws locals and trades people for lunch. read more

I had a medical procedure & I preparing for it, I wasn't able to eat. We used Yelp to find this gem for my breakfast. My husband had eaten breakfast so he only had water. The waitress was superior! She took fantastic care of us &. My meal came out quickly. I had the country bowl. I am not a biscuit fan but theirs were really fluffy & good. The hash browns were crispy as I requested, the scrambled eggs well done as I requested, and bacon was crispy. The sausage gravy over the bowl & cheddar cheese were also good! My hubby tasted and agreed with me! I will definitely be back! The place is clean and fun ! read more

The food was good and the staff friendly. My issues are with the fact they barely accommodated my wheelchair and would not allow my service dog in. read more

Have been in for breakfast and dinner and both meals were terrific! Love the Latin fusion menu; their homemade chorizo is the best I've ever had. Both the Mexi-omelet and the Burrito Grande were excellent meals and I can't wait to return! Service is friendly and wait time is short. What's not to like?! read more

Chicken breast with mushrooms onions and cheese was spot on. Great portion and flavor. Diner was eclectic and very clean. Service was spot on. I will be back for dinner again. Breakfasts are a definite. read more

From what I have had the past couple times, the food is not bad to pretty good. Country Fried Steak I would give a 6-6.5. Sausage gravy was good. Order that on the side. Eggs Benny was just alright. Doesn't come with potatoes which would have been good to know. I ordered them after I received the food and they didn't arrive until I was done eating. Timing is their biggest issue. First time, my food came when my guest was half done. Second time was the potatoes. read more

Classic dinner feel. Not huge but the tables had plenty of space. Really busy but we were seated and served quickly. Plenty of staff and they were nice and efficient. They had a very broad menu and our food - Reuben and breakfast tacos were great! We especially loved the fries! I was a little nervous about getting to the restaurant itself because of location but it actually wasn't bad. read more

Everything is fantastic here. The food and the service is great. The staff is amazing as well.
