Leesport Diner

Reviewed By bonitab234

I got the soup and salad bar; so fresh and yummy. Soup was hot; peel shrimp was very good. Hubby got a blue plate lunch special; turkey and the fixings. He enjoyed that! This restaurant is super clean. Alexis was our server; she was super conscientious, pleasant and attentive! Highly recommend the Leesport Diner!! Will return the next time we are in the area.

I first became aware of the Station House Grill while attending the Leesport Farmer's Market BBQ Smoke Fest over the summer. We enjoyed the samples that day and I made a mental note to be sure to visit their restaurant. I was not disappointed when I finally got around to visiting the restaurant! The facility is simple and clean. One of the owners was there when I visited and she was very helpful, friendly and provided quick service. I was looking for a quick lunch and chose their chili and two of the pulled pork tacos. Excellent choices! The chili was not too spicy and had nice chunks of meat in it. There were hot sauces available to heat things up if you wanted to. I really liked the flavor of the chili. The pulled pork tacos were equally impressive. At fist glance they look small but they were filling, tasty and priced reasonably. The pork is topped with their srirachi cole slaw which added a nice bite to the already delicious pulled pork.The menu is unique and had many very good sounding options including chicken, beef and pork.I will be back with my family in the near future! This would also be a great takeout restaurant for those evenings when you just don't want to cook:)

Route 61 Diner

Reviewed By Virginia Y

We stopped here because we were hungry and in the area. We actually were looking for another diner in a different part of Route 61. We almost left because we didn't think they could handle our party of 10 including 4 children. They put tables together so we managed. There were no crayons or any other child amenities, and the wait was extremely long for our food which made it difficult with four young children. The menu is large so everyone found something to their liking. Our waitress was pleasant and got almost everything correct. I would recommend the Monte Crisco sandwich. It was delicious. The other food was very good and the portions were generous, especially for the prices. We were happy we stayed.

Shirley's Cafe & Tequila Bar

Reviewed By Kathryn M

Great service, knowledgeable staff, tasty food, extensive menu. This was our first visit on a recommendation from a friend and we loved it! They were crowded on a Weds evening, good idea to make a reservation. They have specials each night of the week and lots of regular items to select from. Our waitress, Amy, did a fantastic job explaining the various tequila flights and selections to the novices in our group.

We visited the diner on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. There is plenty of parking available. I had a crock of French onion soup and the open face roast beef sandwich. My wife had breakfast, the country eggs (eggs, potatoes, peppers and onions mixed together). All the food was good, as was the service. We also ordered a piece of cake to go.

Crossroads Family Restaurant

Reviewed By Sue53677

We had dinner at Crossroads this evening. The prime rib was large and excellent, made to perfection. The shepherd's pie was delicious and the portion more than ample. Everything was served hot, the meal included a wonderful salad bar with homemade bread and 3 soups. Everything was absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly and pleasant and the surroundings are lovely and very, very clean.

Temple Family Restaurant

Reviewed By 336debg

This place seems to cater to senior citizens (I think we were the youngest people dining there). Great variety of food and reasonably priced. Greek salad was fresh and had delicious home made dressing. The meatloaf also tasted home made and was not full of fillers. And free dessert if you’re old enough to order from the senior menu!

Pizza Como USA

Reviewed By luvroma2

It has been many years since I have been to Pizza Como since I no longer live close by. I happened to be in the neighborhood recently and stopped for a sandwich. It was as good as I remembered. They make their own rolls which is a big plus. Most of the area sandwich shops use ATV rolls - which are awful. I got the #3 which had capicola, proscitino (that is what they called it - looked like pepper ham to me), provolone, tomato (2 skimpy anemic pieces unfortunately) and somel small bits of shredded lettuce and onions. I liked that the meat was very thinly sliced but I would have liked a bit more tomato, lettuce and onion. I will definitely get another sandwich if I am in Temple again.

5th Street Diner

Reviewed By Wendy S

Overall, this is a really nice diner. Traditional diner décor, including portable jukebox units in the booths. Ordered the meatloaf special, which included PA Dutch potato filling. I was able to substitute lettuce with hot bacon dressing for the soup that usually comes with the especial. Food was very good - warm, adequately portioned, and the butter pecan ice cream excellent.
