“ Senior rates were quite affordable. Menu options were varied. Prompt service. Diner was clean. manager came by to chat. ”
“ Great food, great prices, friendly and accurate service. Not big on decor, but the neighborhood feel makes up for it. We go there all the time and also bring home takeout sometimes. ”
“ In A Nutshell: -Route 3 Diner was a great find! -If you are looking for a traditional diner this is it. -Breakfast served all day? CHECK -Laminated menu w/ a huge selection of food? CHECK -I wanted to try "scrapple" to check it off the bucketlist. -It is like a hashbrown made of minced pork, crispy outside and moist inside. -It has a plain savory taste so I was advised by the lovely waitress and customer to try it w/ mustard, ketchup & syrup; all three condiments paired well w/ the scrapple. -I also tried it w/ Tabasco which was tasty too. Overall, this diner has plenty of seats & very friendly vibes. Thank you Delaware!! ”
“ Great food, great value, love this place. Ask for Jessica as your server, she is the best! ”
“ Great service, amazing prices, solid food, and nice atmosphere. The wife and I love this joint. The servers remember you and genuinely seem to care about the service they're giving. ”
“ I haven't physically been in this diner but I order from here, often. I have never been disappointed. The food is made fresh and has always been tasty! The prices are very reasonable but what's more is that the portions are so large that I can divide them and get two complete meals! The service is top notch as well. Once, I was delivered the wrong order and the owner himself delivered the correct order to my home! That's service that you NEVER see these days! I love this place. ”
“ Dined here for the first time today after a run at Bellevue State Park. The breakfast was good and crispy. This place is great and the ambiance was pleasant. I think a lot of the 1 star reviews are from many years ago, today this place is definitely nice. I would certainly return. ”
“ my absolute favorite local diner!! this area is filled with so many diners but the route 3 is consistent with very kind staff. best pancakes out of all the local diners ive been too and the wraps were huge! ”
