We love this restaurant. A very large menu to pick from and the prices are very reasonable for the portions they serve. Most dinners include the salad bar which has a great selection to choose from and includes soup. Specials end at 10 pm which is great for those who work late. Sometimes there can be a wait for a table and service gets backed up a little bit. Parking lot gets full quickly and can get a little tight.
This place was really good, stopped here on the way back home late at night and it was really good. You get good sized portions for the prices. There was only one server on so it was slow service but she got our large parties orders all right and brought us our food in a timely manner
It was okay. I was expecting more but it was simply breakfast. They have watered syrup. Fairly dim inside the place itself. Wasnt the most welcoming. The food was alright. Again nothing special. Probably wouldnt go back.
The waitresses were wonderful! (Felt like we were being spoiled by family.)Food was great! Generous portions!(Someone does need to check the cleanliness of plates at the salad bar, however....)
Love this place. You can get your food quickly and enjoy it. The workers are genuinely nice and talkative.
Waited an incredibly long time for drinks and food. Friend asked for medium rare steak, it arrived more than well done. Portion sizes were huge. Found it odd that soup and salad bar came with just about everything. We arrived for late nite munchies but didnt need a huge meal so paid extra for things I didnt even need or want. Waitress was not very attentive or even personable. The rest of our food was ok. Not really worth the hour wait for it.
I love this diner! I took my daughters here for a late dinner after boating and the food, atmosphere, and service was perfect! Heather, our server, was fun and personable. She made us feel welcome with some smiles, compliments, and great advice on the specials for the day. I had a delicious wrap while the kids had burgers. She even made a fun lemonade cocktail for the girls to make them feel special. This is a great place to eat and share some smiles! This will be our new stop on the way back from the lake for now on!
Great atmosphere terrific service all-you-can-eat salad bar and soup the best. Food is amazing
Really good food! My waiter Keith was exactly what restaurants need! My other half and daughter will tell me if they don’t like a place and service, not a peep from neither!We recommend this restaurant with 5 stars across the board.
We had a great server, food came out quickly and it was delicious 👍🏻
The food was good. Our bartender/ waiter(gentleman) was very good just overwhelmed. Sirloin cooked perfect. Coconut shrimp yummy. I know its hard getting help nowadays. Hang in there guys.
Food was good and cooked as requested. Lots of servers but very slow on service. Evidently chatting with coworkers was more important.
When I say I had a great experience I mean I had a really excellent time at the Exeter Family Resaurant. We were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server Blanca was absolutely AMAZING!!! She was so friendly and bubbly with a big personality. I love that in someone. She provided excellence in customer service all the way. Our food came fairly quickly which was great because we were starving. The amount of food we received for $22 was pretty enormous! The food was good and the service was the best Ive had. You now have a customer for life. Blanca works Sunday mornings make sure you go see her.😉 Thanks for the great experience.
The eggs were perfectly cooked not dry.
Amazing! Prices are kind if high for a diner but worth it!! Best soup and salad bar EVER! Great staff.
Its an all-around decent spot with good hour coverage, meaning its one of the few diners you can still enjoy late into the night. Some meals get very pricey, however. The quality of the food is about what youd expect.
Yummy breakfast for a good price. Lots of options!
I meet people here on a regular basis. Im always very satisfied with my food and service. The quality to price is always in the customers favor. Beer, wine, and liquor available which is rare in a Diner. Clean dining room, and food comes at an expected time considering they are always busy! (A Testament to how awesome they are)
Great food, friendly and charming staff, really love the salad and soup bar! Best 24 hr restaurant in the area.
The food was great and the service was wonderful had a great time well definitely return.
Great for breakfast. Wife and I had eggs Benedict. What a treat.
Food is average at best. The senior special menu is expensive compared to others in the area. Dont understand the high ratings here-the veggie of the day is your only choice. Most places give you st least three. But i guess thats the price you pay for eating in such a high class area of the county.
Wonderful old fashioned diner, with classic wait staff! A great place, you should go there if you are nearby!!
Waitress was amazing as usual. Food was hot and delicious and it came out quick. Got the donut French toast it was scrumptious.
Food was great and extremely well priced! I would try the donut french toast if you get a chance. Staff also extremely friendly and accurate with wait times.
Service was great. The food was not so good. I ended up getting sick from the food that day into the next day. That was one of my first times having breakfast there. Not sure I’ll be back.
I ordered online for curbside pickup, It was a complete nightmare of an ordering system, and didnt inform you they were out of things until I tired to finish, but its not the end of the world.I showed up and there was no curbside pickup, I had to go in.I entered five minutes after the order said it would be ready. It took ten minutes to get help, and the food wasnt ready, but they said it would be out in two or three minutes.My food came out 40 minutes after the scheduled pick up time.I should have checked the order but I was frustrated and wanted to go home.When I got home, my homes fries and scrapple were missing. My eggs were covered in marina which was not included on the order. My panini wasnt a panini, it was a hamburger bun, and had coleslaw on it. It was missing the cheese.With exception of the side of mac and cheese (which was fantastic) everything was awful.Avoid this dump.
Been coming here for some time, originally dine in and now take out due to COVID. Their food is almost always great (dont order the turkey club).However, its the wait for check out that is the most painful. One guy or girl on the register for the entire place. I was happy when the bar could check out for take out orders, as when youve got hot food ready to take home, the last thing that you need is to stand in a line 12 tables deep just to pay for the food thats in your hand.Get a better way to manage checking out. One register just aint doing it.
Excellent food. Great portions for the price. Service was excellent as well. Overall nice old fashioned diner experience!!!!
Local eatery, friendly workers, family owned, nice salad bar. Good place to take the family for breakfast or brunch on the weekends. Always clean and mindful of restrictions, warmer weather they offer outside tables. One of the few places Ive taken my family to eat throughout the pandemic.
My experience is poor, from the cook thinking that that a fried egg was the same as scrambled to the man ringing people up at the register more interested in taking the register apart to fix it then moving to the bar register to ring up customers. (He finally did after about 10 minutes). I wont be going back!
Love this place. Best salad bar in the area
Have had better service in years past. It seems as if socializing was more important for staff with one another and attitudes over heard from the younger staff can be improved.Food was not as good as pre-pandemic times. Waitress forgot to bring jellies for the breakfasts that were ordered, the hollandaise sauce was seperated and lad a layer of oil on top, and the toast was stale prior to being toasted.
Service was amazing and despite being busy I got my delicious food in a timely manner
Soup and salad bar was clean and the offering were fresh. Our waitress was very kind. Food was very tasty, especially for the price. Would indeed recommend this to anyone looking for good food. These kinds of places are hard to come by nowadays.
The waitress we had was amazing she made you feel like part of the family. Food was delicious and the salad bar was well stocked well be back lee Sallade
Terrific diner located just outside of a Reading. Good sized portions, great service. Very tasty french onion soup.
Always fast and friendly service. The food is always on point. The salad bar has a great selection!
Amazing bus staff and sandras service is outstanding.
Usually it is very good. Tonight not so good. Meal was dry and potatoes under cooked. Out take out order was over charged they forgot the desert and drink
Food is ok, nothing special. Prices are good.
We love this spot. Food is awesome and the service is on point. My wife and I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here.
Asked for a cold turkey wrap. This is my 3rd try. Got shredded warm turkey that was soggy and tasted horrible. How hard is it to get a turkey wrap?! Its just a turkey club in a wrap instead of bread! It was disgusting. Doesnt even deserve 1 star but it wouldnt let me put negative 5 stars!
Visiting PA from NJ my neice suggested this place and she was spot on. Delicious breakfast and very fresh oj and coffee. Food was served quick and we were party of 8. Only issue floor was slippery felt like ice skating ring but next time in PA will make it a point to return
We moved to the area and wanted to try a new place. It was so disappointing. Pork chops were burned and it was extremely expensive for what we got. Would not recommend at all.
I went to Exeter Family Restaurant today with my family and I was having a really bad day. So glad we had Keith as our server today because he helped turn this day around for me and my family. I have been to E-Fam multiple times in the past however today was the best experience I have had there. The food came out quickly and it was amazing the rib-eye was cooked perfectly, it was juicy, tender and very well seasoned. Shot out to the chef who was cooking June 19th 2021 at dinner time!!!
Excellent food and very good service.I have zero complaints and we do go here quite often.
First time ever going there and it was AMAZING!!!Our waiter was named George and he was so sweet. Thanks for the best experience :)
Great service on a busy day! Excellent food! Thank you Yvonne!
Good food only 1 server so kinda slow but what do you want at 330 am on a Saturday
A group of us ate breakfast here. The food was really good, large portions at a reasonable price and they have a great variety!
Always packed on a Sunday but the staff all hustle n the food is always good..
Five stars because food and waitress were excellent but the host if he smiled his face would Crack. Je needs to smile when greeting guests.
The best diner in the Reading area by far. Ive always had great food and service every time Ive come here.
It was awesome. Very reasonable prices. Very welcoming and great waitresses.Their menu has something for everyone. with generous portions. They offer a very impressive build your own omelet. I added avocado to mine it was delicious. Next time I go Im getting the avocado toast.I felt covid safe, it is very clean you can see they take no short cuts when it comes to the safety of everyone.You will not be disappointed .
Good food an very reasonably priced.
Eggs Benedict the hollandaise sauce was broken...kinda greasy, but ok. Hash browns were like small Arbys potato cakes; only get 2. Not horrible but I expected real hash browns.
We had to wait for utensils, there was nothing washed. The food was just plain, not really a taste, and very dry. I felt bad that the waitress had two parties of 12 ppl and couldnt keep up. However she held it together and was super nice.
Sat for almost 10 min n noone even got our drink order 3 girls looked at us multiple times n not even a hello
Good food and great service. Very pleasant place to eat!!!
Good food for a dinner. Very clean and nice service.
Love this diner! Salad bar is fantastic, soups are good. Cant beat the nostalgia and the food is awesome. Prices are borderline cheap!
The wait staff are great and the food has been consistently delicious. The coffee is always fresh no matter what time I come in to dine.
Was still truly open 24hrs. Food was served fast and was great. Tired 2 other establishments closer to home first that said they were 24 hours but were closed at 4:45am. So Exeter Dinner will always be my go to early breakfast spot from hear on out even tho it’s a little further. Staff was friendly and always checking to make sure I had everything I needed.
Horrible customer service. Older lady comes to take our order my girlfriend orders first then I order finish my order and my girlfriend tries to tell the waitress she would also like a Shirley temple and before she could even finish the waitress was very rude in her comment. So we got up I offered to pay for the drinks and headed to chili’s.
Got the Rancher Omellete, coffee, and loose cannon ipa it was really good! Beer is ice cold, better than most bars and Ive been to a few! Do yourself a favor and stoo by!
Felt bad for server, they were short staffed!! Food was good and server kept her smile on!!
Love this place. Variety of food, staff was excellent, courteous. Great customer service
Service was great food ok.
The service was great. My meal was excellent. I will definitely go back.
Best salad bar around. Senior citizen prices a bit steep
Always good. Go to dinner. Be going bnb there for years.
One of my favorites! Love the Mac & cheese! But everything is good!
Havent been here in many years but it was still filled with really friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious
Our favorite diner. Great food, great salad bar. Just after it reopened from Covid, I saw several patrons without masks, mostly sitting at the counter or picking up food, and that kept us away for awhile. I saw on their website that they are now certified in following CDC guidelines, so we tried it again. They now have signs up requiring masks, and everyone followed the rules. Well definitely be back.
Decent food, but they definitely need more staff
Always the best, food was awesome, service was phenomenal.
The service and waitress was great and the meal was delicious.
The breakfast was so very good. The eggs tasted so fresh. I loved it!!!!
We like this restaurant for comfort food and their breakfastsUsually the s err device is fastToday however it wasnt as fast even tho it was not crowdedThe food is always goodHopefully when this covid issue is gone the salad and soup bar will reopenAs they have a great choice if salad fixingsAnd choice of two excellent soups and a few slice your self leaves if bread
I highly recommend this family owned business! It is so so important to support them now more than ever. I had some serious pregnancy cravings and called to order - although all my interaction was via phone I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming and hospitable the lady I spoke to was. I felt like family. Thank you for the great experience! We will definitely be back!
Large menu! Great food, great atmosphere! We eat here often. Open 24 hrs! Theyre keeping the diner experience alive in PA!
This has been a regular breakfast meeting place for me and friends I used to work withIt was so good to see it open again even if it was just with picnic tables outside.Everybody seemed happy to be working again. Beautiful day.Update:.. The food is still great but we have found another place to meet for breakfast. Every time we go in there MSNBC or the Crazy Nancy Network is on. I would never have them on in my home so Im not going to sit by them in a restaurant. There was a fight in there one day over news stations. I wish they would put on neutral stations such as Home and garden. Going from five down to three stars.
Very welcoming family. Clean place, friendlyEmployees. Food is great!!!!! Being coming for year always the same serve. Top #1
You should change your hours online since you are not open 24 hours and your sign says on your sign at the restaurant toCall in orders and no one even answers the phone !!!
I had moldy bread and asked for french toast, my waiter gave me pancakes and blamed the situation rudely on me she never checked in on me and my fiancé and we were 1 of 4 people there (which by the way she waited on them perfectly always asking how they were and filling their cups we never had our cups filled and when we asked she never gave it) I ordered stir fry IT TASTED HORRIBLE and I only had one bite and asked her to take it off my receipt and she said she couldnt do that which is a lie then because I have had other waiters take things off my bill before and after a horrible experience im not tipping because she was rude and barely waited on us she gives herself a gratuity tip im so beyond angry!!!! I feel disrespected and im honestly disappointed.
Best sea food combo Ive found yet. Only been in the area for 7 months.Keep up the great work.
Very nice waitress. Food was excellent.
Good food, always packed!
Lunch was very good. Waitress was prompt and very friendly.
