Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
James P.

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!!

Cream beef

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.

Chicken fried steak, poached eggs, toast and fries

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??? :-)

I would say for an affordable meal you can't go wrong with Upland diner. 2 mins from my house so it's a go to for us. Will continue going as long as I'm living in the area, or they give me a reason to not come anymore haha.

Crazy fries

This is one of the only diners around that my family enjoys. The food is good and so is the service. They also have some unique things on the menu such as the crazy fries. They are delicious!!

My wife, brother-in-law, and I stopped in to enjoy some breakfast. We received quick service, they were attentive, and I enjoyed the pancakes. 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.

The Upland Breakfast
Steve S.

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.

Breakfast menu
Desi P.

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!

I'd tried to come here previously, and the wait was going to be around an hour (at noon on a…read moreSaturday), and we ultimately gave up. This time, we arrived at 11 on a Sunday, and the wait was expected to be about 30 minutes. We decided to stick it out this time. Lo and behold, after 30 minutes, we got the call--it was raining so we hung out under a nearby awning-- and away we went to sit at the window counter/bar, which afforded us a nice view of people going in and out as they joined the queue. I now understand why people line up for this place: they serve an outstanding brunch. I had one of the omelettes of the day, which in this case was artichoke, bacon and mozzarella. While that may seem like an odd combination--I can't remember ever having an omelette with artichoke in it--it totally worked. In fact, it was one of the best omelettes I've had in recent memory. It also came with a yummy biscuit (especially yummy if you ask them to bring you honey butter) and breakfast potatoes (I accessorized their ketchup with a bit of hot sauce and bingo). My dining companion also really enjoyed his spinach, feta and mushroom omelette. Service was friendly and efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Prices are reasonable, and there are a whole lot of things that looked yummy around us, especially the challah stuffed French toast--I definitely wouldn't mind splitting that with a friend on a future visit.

Perfect for lunch! Wait staff was the best we've seen in a while, the food was served hot, the…read moreingredients were fresh: Fresh mushrooms, and fresh spinach in my omelette.

The highlight for me is always the fact that I can get a fresh French press of various different coffees with my breakfast, often sharing these with my friend. When we originally started coming to Turning Point everything was outstanding and fresh and new which may have been part of why I feel there has been a decline in the quality of experience here, while I may just be wrong. However, I feel that over time and several management changes, the feeling of quality has dissipated from the restaurant compared to the first year that it was open. It feels much more chain restaurant-y now and the seasonal food offerings are as exciting and everything seems to be made with zero effort and no zest for cooking. Whereas before, everything was served very fresh, bright, and hot, it simply doesn't have that feeling any longer. The coffee is still great, and the food is still good, but it's lacking a certain something. Coming here for the first time was actually what started me on my French press journey, and I actually enjoy a small personal size French press coffee every morning at home now ever since. If you haven't tried Turning Point yet, I definitely think you should. In the scheme of places that are similar, like First Watch and Nudy's, in my opinion this is the best. But I would prefer to go to a small family-owned place. That said, I still LOVE the fireplace in the winter!

I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.
