My first visit to the Upland Diner was very positive. The waitress was very polite and I received my omlette, hash browns and toasts very promptly! Great food. The Manger , Jen, was also polite , and gave me a special entree discount card for my next visit! I will come back again for sure! TY ladies. Rgds, Pete read more

Overall this place is a nightmare. It was good before Covid but since late 2021 it's been below mediocre.. they don't take peoples orders seriously, they leave you on hold for as long as it takes you to hang up & call back then they pretend to be someone else who hasn't spoken with you yet. They are very nonchalant & unenthusiastic about working. I used to wake up happy to eat here but now I'd rather eat a bowl of cold cereal before wasting my time money or energy. read more

Stop there for dinner. Service was awesome. Waitress was very nice and the food is absolutely delicious. It is one of my favorite go to places for home-cooked meals. The soups are made fresh daily and very good. Definitely gotta try this place out. If you haven't I give it a five stars plus. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Ah Easter ... well we had no plans, which is never something to be happy about so it was take a family drive to see some art in Pennsylvania. Now, what ... we were hungry, and we wanted to feel the day was special and no, we did not want to pay the extra high Easter prices, so we looked and searched and discovered a very special place with lots of UP SIDE to it, the UPLAND DINER. The reviews were like a magnet, and it was on the way home so ... we walked into something good and satisfying from the very first step into this classic diner that is small enough to give special attention to each customer. We were looked after like family whether it was the woman who waited on us, the young lady who cleared the table at exactly the right moment or the others who checked in to see if all was well! HAPPY EASTER ... Their menu is a classic diner menu, which means it takes time to navigate through the options. The waitress said that some folks really like the liver and by my face she said, "I guess you don't want to try that." But, she said the salmon was excellent and made other helpful suggestions that led to our choices for our EASTER dinner. Ewwww who would ever think that liver is good. Being Easter, I couldn't help but notice how nicely decorated this diner is and how CLEAN it is. It is really clean and nicely decorated. Haunting on the one wall was a lovely chalk board touting their dessert selections. Mmm dessert ... yummy dessert ... oh I don't need dessert. My lobster bisque was silky and delicious (Ok, there were not huge chunks of lobster in the soup because ... lobster is rather expensive, but I didn't expect there to be any.). Satisfying and made me almost ready to ask for more. The others ordered a really great side salad with crisp lettuce, chilled plates and even swirls of beets to make the salad more than rushed casual overwhelmed diner fare. Our entrees all looked so inviting as they were placed before us. Our waitress had really pushed the scallop potatoes and they looked like eye candy on our plates (Neither of us had enjoyed scalloped potatoes in some time.). And, as is typical with diners ... there was plenty of food to be enjoyed. But ... alright this one is on me but since it involves the food that was served it is also on the kitchen. NEVER EVER EVER EVER order Brussels sprouts as your vegetable choice at a diner!!! Did I say NEVER EVER ... I did because I have never encountered nor witnessed a diner whose chef roasted those sprouts or creatively insured that they wouldn't be soggy little balls of green on the plate with little flavor enhancers. The Upland's Brussel sprouts while plentiful were a mushed heap of green and two out of the three of us made the mistake. So ... half star take away (it was our fault for even thinking of ordering them much less making the mistake but thank goodness those scalloped potatoes were flavorful and awesome and yummy that I almost ... but I didn't ... forget about the Brussels sprouts ... they deserve the Ewwww I gave the liver. Now as for the other half star lost in this review. Well, first the salmon special that one of the others chose was as she said DEEEE Lious! Perfectly prepared ... as was the other diner's turkey dinner, which she had been hungry for. As for mine ... the pork loin special stuffed with bacon in a pork gravy ... TASTY indeed ... but LUKE (not as in Skywalker) COLD not warm but still good tasting but boy oh boy it would have been so much better hot than LUKE COLD. And, no ... you may ask ... I didn't ask it to be returned to the kitchen. I was hungry. But, we weren't hungry after the dinner ... definitely not for one of those awesome sounding desserts on the board or that tiramisu ... oh tiramisu sounded so good and, on the way, out it looked so good in the dessert display case. Four stars ... and Upland is only 15 minutes from my home (Ok, I have to cross a toll bridge) so I am pretty sure we will be back but NO LIVER and NO BRUSSELS SPROUTS (I really should have known not to order them.). read more

I went to Upland diner with high expectations and we all know how that goes. It was morning so I got a cheesesteak and egg sandwich. They have a pick window. Order at the window and they will bring your food to your car. This was a fresh roll and I love it when I pick up a fresh roll. It was $12.29 after tax. As a cheesesteak with egg it was small. As an egg and cheesesteak sandwich I would have liked home fries. I didn't like the fried onions. It was a good sandwich and a very nice woman waited on me but it could have been better. Reese chocolate Chip pancakes caught my eye!! read more

Ate lunch here today with family. The place was chosen as my brother was driving north and we wanted to meet someplace that wouldn't take him too far off 95. The food and service were both very good. I had a BLT, and the bacon was nice and crispy, with a decent amount in the sandwich. I also had sweet potato fries and they were also crispy, as were my brother in law's fries. My brother had the Cobb salad in a taco shell. I'd never seen one served that way, but the shell was puffy, and my brother ate every bit. My only complaint was that a single stall for the women's restroom was not adequate when the place was crowded. I would eat here again if I had reason to be in the area. read more

Respectable breakfast food. I would come to this diner over Springfield diner for the food any day. Their hollandaise options hit the spot as well as the sticky bun toast. I tried the cream beef this time around with sour dough toast which was solid. The waitress was super nice too. She was the only one for the entire restaurant I believe. read more

Upland is a locally owned diner gem worth trying. Upland has The BEST New England clam chowder in any diner in the entire Delaware Valley. I know you're saying to yourself how can I make that outrageous claim. Well, I've probably tasted New England clam chowder in at least 50 places in the entire Delaware Valley and for the price,no other diner beats Upland Diner. It's the only one in these parts that makes it as a true old fashioned New England clam chowder. Including plentiful chunks of clams is a no-brainer but this place makes it the authentic New England Way with hunks of lean slab bacon, chopped smallish. The bacon gives it that hearty smoky flavor that clam chowder(Chowda) in New England typically tastes like. Then microscopically chopped celery onions and carrots. Yum! That's one of the keys for good clam chowder. The celery,onions and carrots have to be as I tiny as possible so they add flavor instead of competing with the clams, potato and broth. If you decide to stop by for anything make sure you try clam chowder. But this place is more than just that. It's a down-home diner serving all the diner stuff that we love. Burgers, entrées, some seafood,Comfort foods like meatloaf and turkey and fried chicken. They have all the pudding's and Jell-O's you could ask for and also ice cream. They also have a very tall glass case full of cakes and pies. I would say about 50% of their clientele are from the hospital across the street and the rest would be neighbors and old-timers who moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago who come back for a reasonably priced good meal. It makes this place feel homey and special. I've never had a bad meal here in 10 years and my service is always been very good. Breakfast lovers: the Upland breakfast has a variety of items including eggs and it's cheap at $7.19 For the Hearty eaters there's a breakfast called the Big Man's which is a bigger version at $8.49. Today I had the turkey entrée which came with two sides of mashed potatoes and coleslaw and a soup and dessert for $10.49. Can you guess which soup I chose??? :-) read more

Maybe I'm just spoiled or the ppl in the reviews just never had good food. The service was good. Nice waitresses , but I ordered pancakes and fries. Both taste like rubber. The fries were not good. Pancakes looked good but when I bit into them I could hardly get that piece off, it just stretched for awhile. Food not good in Chester Pa. read more

Great pot roast, Italian wedding soup and split pea soup. and great service. Staff took care of the whole family.

They also have an area designated for deliveries, I have picked up doordash from them without any problems. Def add it to the list of places to go in the area. read more

They have a HUGE menu that even my vegan friend had multiple options! I ended up with the hungry man'a breakfast which was so cheap for what they served! It's basically 2 meals for the price of 1! Their pancakes, sausage, and bacon were pretty standard which was fine with me because of how cheap it was! The house fries were a bit bland but add some salt and pepper and you'll be good to go! I also tried my friend's beets and they were good! The service there was great! Multiple people kept checking in with us to make sure we were served and happy! They're very nice and personable! read more

Absolutely disgusting. The food sounded good but was terrible especially considering the fact the fries I ordered had hair in them. The waiter who took over and served our food was coughing everywhere. If you work with food and your sick you shouldn't come to work point blank period. My dad is now sick and tested positive for covid. New rules need to be established for the diner or they shouldn't be in business. read more

I believe this place needs a little more love. Just a little.... I hadn't been here in many years, but found myself in the area recently and wanted to see if it was still any good. It's been around long enough but doesn't seem to get enough Yelp attention. Let's change that now. The place is generally clean, it was pretty busy on a Friday morning at 10, and service was fast enough. You can't beat their specials. $2.25 gets you eggs, home fries, and toast during the week until 11am. I decided to upgrade a bit and went for the Upland Breakfast which gets you a short stack choice of pancakes or French Toast with eggs and your choice of meat for $5.60. That's definitely cheaper than a lot of places for this combination. French Toast, scrambled, and scrapple for me, please! I judge diner quality on how well they make French Toast. I call it my French Toast Test. Diners make this differently all over the place. So, I'll say that they passed the test. However if the best French Toast I ever had is an A+, I'll put the French Toast here in the B- category. It was fine, but not special. Not too much batter in the toast, browned just right, no powdered sugar on it which is a slight letdown. Couldn't taste much cinnamon or any flavoring. It was pretty basic. Perhaps they save the good stuff for the other French Toast dishes they have on the menu such as the stuffed toast. But I ate it and had no complaints. That sums up the meal I had overall. It was fine. I didn't feel like I had anything special. But I did feel like I got a good deal for the money and that's worth some praise. read more

Worth money and when you ask for extra they give you extra. Food taste good as well. I had their cream chip beef on toast

I do not recommend going here. Burger is very gross and chicken tenders definitely come frozen and are thrown in a fryer. This place really needs to pare down their menu and focus on doing things fresh and actually making food that taste good. Would not return. read more

ordered take out online since they put me on hold for 10 minutes waited at the restaurant for over 45 minutes!!! terrible service

Came in here and sat for 15 damn minutes and couldn't even order food....never had worst service in my life!!!!!!!!!

Nice place. Clean, staff is friendly. Burger cooked to order. I'll be back.

Breakfast food is my favorite food so the words "breakfast all day" make me very excited. Upland Diner is exactly what I needed after another long week or work. I stopped in for a Friday lunch with my friend Kenisha so we could catch up. One of the first things I do when I go somewhere is check in on the Yelp app. Great thing about this diner is that they have two deals - $5 off when you spend $15 and 10% off. It's always a plus seeing stuff like this. Now, the food. I'm trying really hard to be healthy and count marcos. As a vegetarian one of my main sources of lean protein is egg whites. I was definitely glad to see it was an option and added it to the Spanish Omelette (cheese, veggie, and salsa!). As a toast connoisseur, I was happy that my order came with a choice of white, wheat, or rye. I should mention that my toast arrived pre buttered, which I thought was weird, but I ate it anyway. The side potatoes are fried so if you are health conscious ask for them to be removed or only eat half of the large portion. On my way to the register to pay, I got a chance to eye up the desserts they had in the case. They had a strawberry shortcake that looked divine so I'll have to be back to try that. Another weird thing was that they woman making change did it completely wrong. The total was $8 something - I handed over $10 - and she tried to give me $2 and some change. I told her she was wrong but she refused so I just gave the extra as tip. Overall, I'll be back to have many more lunch dates like this with Kenisha. read more

A pleasant basic diner. Food was very good quality, nice fresh eggs, non-greasy sausages, tender home fries. Good size portions and very reasonable prices. Efficient, cheerful service. Busy with a good mix of college kids, neighborhood families and seniors, lots of take out.

I don't typically go to diners but Kenisha offered and I needed me some food, who could passion breakfast with her? I have to say all the prices were very fair, especially once we got our food and saw the serving sizes. I was between the breakfast burger and the turkey eggs benedict. Should've gone with the latter. The 6 oz burger is a frozen patty it came with hash browns that I didn't eat because I'm simply not a fan of those, but they looked cooked the way they should. The burger itself had an egg, cheddar, and Canadian bacon. The bacon made me very happy. I feel like with a fresh burger this could've been amazing, but with the quality it just seemed tremendously underwhelming. If I wanted a quick breakfast I'd still return, just go for that turkey instead. read more
