Yum! First of all Danny was so accommodating and made the experience great but the food itself was delicious! The challah french toast was super fresh and light. And we had oatmeal with some fresh fruit on it. The place is cute! And it was almost filled the entire time we were there- this seems to be the spot to come! We had a light breakfast, but everything looked so good so we'll have to come back when we have more room in the belly read more

Waterside Cafe & Diner - Sandwiches Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Going through my drafts I stumbled upon Waterside. My apologies for not reviewing sooner. Waterside has been on our breakfast rotation for some time. Located within the Waterside community off of State Road in Bensalem. It is popular with the residents there. Open for breakfast and lunch they offer varied daily specials in addition to a pretty packed menu. Waterside may look like it's part of the Waterside community but it is open to the general public. Parking can be a struggle sometimes and it is very noisy but turns out a consistent breakfast. read more

Located just a couple blocks up from the river, this cute breakfast/lunch café was such a great find! I ordered the Florentine Benedict with home fries and added green pepper and onion (worth the $2 upcharge, in my opinion). I also liked that you get a choice of sides--hash browns, breakfast potatoes, or fruit cocktail--always a nice touch depending on what you're in the mood for. They serve fresh brewed iced tea, which is always a big plus for me. My Benedict was delicious--perfectly done--and the portion was generous. I only made it through half, so I'm already looking forward to enjoying the rest tomorrow. The service was great, and the vibe is super chill and relaxing. It honestly gave me "down the shore on vacation" kind of energy, which I loved. Definitely a spot I'd recommend read more

Food and service was great! Wasn't too crowded, very light and airy feel with all the windows. Omelette was just as I ordered it and the waffle was good and fluffy! Would come back for sure. read more

The wait to order was a little while, and the food was not worth it. The food looked like a 10 yr old made it. Plain and flavorless. The bacon was old and hard, potatoes were undercooked and dry, but surprisingly the pancakes were good. I'd rate it a 4, if that. read more

Small, little local place. Service was quick and friendly. Nice menu options for breakfast, brunch and lunch. The chicken fried steak was crispy and nicely seasoned. The gravy was thick and full of sausage. The chicken was also fried nicely with a good portion. The waffle had a nice taste to it but it came out at room temp. It would have been really good if it was hot. We will definitely go back to try some more menu items. read more

What a great little breakfast/lunch venue. The staff is very friendly, courteous, and pleasant. Very nice clean cozy modern look inside. Due to their delicious food, weekends it can get very busy. But I'll gladly wait at any restaurant if the food is well worth waiting for and it definitely is here! They are consistently good. One thing I really like is there Florentine Benedict. I was never a big fan of the Benedict but they have their own holidays sauce. That is absolutely delicious. Well worth the trip! You can find me here several times a week. read more

When we walked into Waterside Cafe we were greeted immediatly. The server greeted us and brought coffee and then it took her a long time to get back to us. We finally ordered and the food came out within 10/15 minutes. The food was okay. The potatos were incredibly undercooked. I would have let the server know but I didn't see her again until the meal was almost over. I wouldn't go back again. read more

When I was a kid this area of Bensalem was all truck stops and factories. The Penn Salt Manufacturing Co. that stood where Waterside housing is today was actually targeted by a 4-man team of Nazi saboteurs that were ordered to blow it up in June of 1942. You can read the article here https://buckscountyadventures.org/targeted-for-destruction/ for some history. It seemed strange to pull into this area, because all I can remember was a saw-toothed roofed chemical factory along the river with rail lines and tanker cars sitting out front. The housing there now is much nicer on the eyes! The Waterside Cafe takes up bottom floor retail space along State Road with a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. They offer breakfast, lunch, a kids menu and bakery items. The inside is an L shaped diner with bar seating, TV's and plenty of tables. The server was a very nice lady who was quick with service and wasn't bashful about giving menu recommendations. Her top choice was the Chorizo Burrito - Chorizo Sausage, Cheddar Cheese, Peppers, Onions, Scrambled Eggs in a Tortilla, Served with Sour Cream & Red Salsa, Home Fries, Breakfast Potatoes or Fruit Cocktail $13.49. I went with that. It needed some hot sauce to give it flavor, but overall it was nothing special, but nothing terrible. Their coffee is pretty darn good! It's a medium to darker roast with some body, not a thin and watery weak cup. I will return to explore more of the menu if I find myself back in this area of Bensalem. Thanks guys! read more

So the bride and I, along with our youngest son, went to lunch here on Friday, 4/24/26. We've been coming here for breakfast just about every weekend and it's always great! Lunch, was no different! I got chicken fingers to start, along with a cup of chicken noodle soup. The bride got French onion soup and my son had the seafood bisque soup. All of the soups were excellent, as were the chicken fingers! I also got a plain burger, my son got the "ponderosa burger", on the specials menu and the bride had the stuff peppers, also on the specials menu. All were very good! So far, Gus and his crew at the Waterside Cafe, have yet to disappoint!!! So if you're looking for a solid lunch spot, don't hesitate to give this place a shot! read more

Quite a busy place late Sunday morning. We came here because they offered gluten-free pancakes for my daughter who has celiac disease. She rated them 10 stars and said they were the best gluten-free pancakes. She's had outside of our home. My husband and I had a regular breakfast and it did not disappoint either. I recommend this place five stars. read more

I have never been more impressed by a first visit as I was with this place. I ordered the crab benedict and substitute the English muffin with a toasted croissant. Literally was a perfect dish for me. You can see everything was made with love. The homestyle potatoes were the best I ever had. I cleaned the plate! Kate was awesome! I will definitely be a regular now and come back soon! read more

Outstanding experience from start to finish with delicious food and excellent presentation. The welcoming staff and warm atmosphere made the evening feel truly special. read more

What a great spot! The servers are always so kind. The menu is extensive and wildly affordable. It's a great spot for breakfast and lunch.

My dining experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was fresh and flavorful. A big thank you to our server, Heidi, who truly made the experience special. She was friendly and very attentive. She made sure everything was perfect. It's hard to find great food, let alone great food and a great server. My family and I will definitely be back! read more

Went to Ashley furniture got a picture with Brandon graham. Have to waste 2 hours to go back and see if we win raffle. Went to my trusty ole Yelp and found waterside cafe and diner. Arrived and parking is tough but found a spot just down the street. Entered and was sat right away. Nice and clean with a big menu. Andrea ordered a cob salad and I ordered a Monti Cristo sandwich that comes with fries, slaw and a soup for $14.99 which is different for me. Andrea got the cream of chicken soup and I got the seafood bisque soup. Both were thick creamy and delicious. If I had to lean towards one, I would choose the cream of chicken soup. The seafood bisque and a small hint of spicy towards it. Now that is just me I'm not a spicy guy. However again it was delicious. Lunch came within 15 min. The cob salad was full of warm chicken and bacon. Very fresh. My sandwich came out and the French toast was done nicely and all meats inside were fresh. Now listen again with my taste buds was not a fan of a sandwich with French toast. But it was a good portion and fresh all the way around. Lunch for two with just waters was $32. Our waitress Heidi was very nice, attentive and professional. I will def return this place has more of a cafe feel then a diner feel. Really enjoyed it. read more

What a great place to eat. The food is always fresh and tasty, the staff is fast and friendly, and the soups are fantastic, especially the seafood bisque. Don't pass up this breakfast and lunch place,there is nothing to compare it to in the area. read more

Good was excellent. Server was pleasant and friendly with a great attitude. Prices weren't bad. Amount of food was ridiculous. I ordered a club sandwich and asked to exchange the fries and pay an up charge for the crock of onion soup. I ended up getting the french fries too. I normally don't eat too many fries because they're boring, but these fries were exceptional. The French onion soup was the best I've ever had. I did not know you could make French onion soup that good! The cheese just had a taste I never had before. You could tell it was quality. The onion soup had a flavor that was just to die for. The club was great. The mayonnaise was not too eggy. The server was a lovely woman. I can't remember her name, but she lives in my hometown of Bristol. She was delightful and we were Vibing. She is definitely one of those people that you will go to that restaurant just to see. They should never lose her. I hope they give her a raise. I also bought a package of Lacas coffee K cups! This visit made my entire week! read more

We had breakfast here with family. . Everyone loved their breakfast meals and the fresh coffee. Friendly, fast service. We're from Lancaster County and I saw they had homemade corned beef hash. So I had to get an order to go! I must say I order this dish out A-LOT and this was the best I ever had! I only wish they'd serve it in cardboard boxes instead of styrofoam to go boxes as it was freshly made, and when I got it back to our relatives home part of it had melted into the styrofoam. read more

More like a 4.5. Excellent diner coffee. Eggs Benedict came with runny whites: over a little too easy. Fruit cup was diced fruit, NOT from a can. Omelettes were well prepared. Service was good. They actually brought my dry wheat toast with butter on the side! Ambience is well executed diner, clean and well maintained. "Riverside" refers to the Delaware on the other side of a building complex. I'll come back when in the area. read more

Very nice restaurant in Waterside. Clean and modern interior with a friendly staff. Very extensive breakfast and lunch menu served all day. The breakfast bowl was very large with scrambled eggs with bacon, ham, peppers and onions. The Chicken potpie was easily enough for two people. It was fresh with big chunks of chicken breast/ the vegetables were slightly overcooked. The seafood bisque was full of seafood but was not very flavorful. A really nice establishment. read more

Gus, has the best food ! Great Breakfast and lunch place, Omletes or sandwiches, you can't go wrong ! Nice waitresses, small neighborhood place with affordable prices. read more

The food is delicious and the staff is so nice! My absolute favorite is the beef and barely soup.

Busy, busy, busy! The place is packed. The coffee is actually good and I recommend the French toast over the pancakes.

On my first trip, I discovered that they close at 3 - no dinner service. Went back for brunch and it was great. Near my home and close to shopping, I'm now a regular! I've tried the Waterside Omelet and the basic breakfast special. My partner likes the eggs benedict and the banana bread french toast. Not cheap, but the portions, quality and service make it a good value. Tons of choices, sufficient parking, warm service. read more

I was a little weary about trying this place after seeing many reviews about bad service, but it looks as though they have rectified and issues that might have existed. We experienced excellent service from the moment we entered until we left. The food was really good and they have many options on their breakfast menu. I would definitely recommend them if you're in the area looking for a good place to get breakfast. read more

Have attempted to eat at the Waterfront several times. I have a bad back & knees and can never find a parking spot close by. That was during the week after 9 AM .Heard they have great food. read more

Well I was talking to my team members at work, where is a great place to go for breakfast. They told me about Waterside cafe , how clean it was and the foot is the best , they give you a nice hardy portion . So on my day off from Home Depot my wife and I went ! So we got down there parked in the back and walked in we were greeted right away which was very nice! The customer service was top notch! We will definitely go back!!!! read more

Found this in a map search when we got hungry after touring a local attraction. Really good! I had delicious Nutella French toast - easily the largest slices I've ever had. Side of bacon perfectly cooked, too. Hubs had a French dip sandwich , which he inhaled. It came with sweet potato fries and a cup of soup, too. Seems popular for good reason. read more

Can you give zero stars? Walk in and stand next to the "Wait to be seated sign," which is located in front of the register and near exit of kitchen. No less than three servers pass without a word - in and out. Ringing up orders. Finally someone says "Be right there" as he continues walking by w/o breaking stride, only to then take care of several takeout orders. Walked out. Customer service is clearly not a priority. read more

The food is always top-notch! And the specials are usually worth trying. Service is always attentive and friendly and management is the best. They know what they are doing! Great place to eat, meet, and enjoy a great meal. read more

What a wonderful find. The food was fresh and the menu diverse. We both had the chicken parm special and loved it. It came with soup/salad, a huge amount of chicken and pasta (enough for two meals) and a scoop of ice cream. We don't know how they do it for the price. The service was excellent as well. If only they were open for dinner too! We'll be back. read more

Waterside cafe is our favorite lunch and breakfast spot near the Delaware River and River Road in lower bucks county. We went for lunch last weekend, 4 "girls". All of our food was very good, the service excellent. It was quite busy and thus a bit noisy, but very bright and cheerful. Handicapped parking closeby. I had open faced tuna with fries, both were excellent. Another dish was eggs with bacon and pancakes, all was good, especially the pancakes which were excellent which did not even need syrup, was soft, fluffy and sweet alone with butter. One person got a hamburger and fries which she said was very good. The other person had a reuben, she said the inside of the sandwich was good, but the bread appeared stale and without taste, overall good rating. We will return! Great server, new to restaurant. Very upbeat personality and very helpful. read more

It takes me a few minutes to walk to Waterside cafe, so as you can imagine I've been here quite a few times!! When I don't feel like cooking, I can just take a quick walk and pick up some tasty, consistent and quality food! They have a plethora of options for carnivores and vegetarians. I usually eat breakfast here, but I've had their lunch items too. Equally delicious! The staff are very friendly and happy to get you anything your heart desires. For example, I like to ask for a little more whipped cream on my Belgian waffles. :) Bensalem doesn't offer a lot of mom and pop food options like Waterside cafe, so this is definitely one of my go to spots. I never get sick of it, and I'm always thrilled when my husband asks if I want anything to go from the cafe! read more

Waterside Cafe & Diner sits in the street front building of the Waterside apartment complex in Bensalem, PA. There are only 5 parking spaces for customers who aren't disabled, so they must expect that most people eating there will live in that small neighborhood. The quality of their food suggests that they will soon outgrow their restrictive environment and need to expand their parking facilities to accommodate their anticipated success. The dining room offers about a dozen tables and a counter with six stools. I sat on one of them as a sole diner, facing the work area. A server walked over with menu and inquiry about something to drink. At that time of morning, coffee was the only thing on my mind. It was strong and bracing. The breakfast choices were extensive, and I selected the Veggie Omelet & Home Fries with Rye Toast. It was all quite good, with a load of fresh greens and melted cheddar. Including the half plate of potatoes and two slices of buttered bread, it was too much for me to consume, but a strong tasty breakfast all the way down. Service was first rate. While this stretch of Bensalem is off my beaten path, I look forward to the occasion that leads me back there so I can sample more morning suggestions @ Waterfront. read more

I already enjoy my first time experience here. Parking spaces might be a bit limited, but I was here for breakfast/brunch, so not much cars. I was greeted first thing when I walked in and seated right away. With a baby in the baby carseat, there were able to accommodate our needs. The menu was filled with many selections. I was debating between Waterside omelette or the Maryland Benedict, which at the end I ordered the seafood omelette because I can eat my omelette and also have jumbo crab meat. The food portion here is quite big. I wasnt able to finish everything myself. Too fulfilling. The food was good. I will definitely return and try out their egg Benedict and maybe their lunch menu as well. The waitress was very friendly and check on us a few times in case we need anything. Looking forward to my next visit. read more
