Route 40 Classic Diner

Very nice and clean, staff was very on top of their customers. I had a bowl of chili which was good. My buddy had the stuffed cabbage rolls and they were definitely homemade. Will stop back again some day!

Good food and great staff. Always clean and tidy. Their roast beef and turkey are the real deal and always fresh.

Expectations from the type of restaurants I frequent are pretty much middle of the road I guess. Half decent food, half decent prices and half decent service. If I rave it’s because I’ve beaten the odds and found something truly special. If I gripe it’s because it isn’t that hard to offer what I expect.
Three stars from me is middle of the road and that’s what this place is. I’ve never had a bad anything here, meal or service. I’ve also never been amazed and had one of those «wow» moments. Others I know go out of their way to come here so maybe I’m just being too fussy.
Another reviewer said the place has gone downhill. I won’t agree entirely with that but something does seem different and not in a good way. Sort of like they don’t care as much about the place as they used to.

We have tried this place several times and the food was not good at all. One time they served us a burnt breakfast with all the burnt sides facing down as if we would never notice.

Editing a previous review: My friend had a bad experience with a waitress being rude to him, and he didn’t feel the owner took it serious enough when he advised him of this, but to be fair, I wasn’t there and the time I did go there, the staff was very friendly. We ordered pizza for takeout and as we waited the staff gave us complimentary drinks.

Great place to eat. Typical 50s diner, classic tables and seats. The food was fantastic, the twist was playing from the jukebox, old style paper reciepts for the bill, fantastic waitress. What a perfect start to a perfect day.

Cute diner with nice waitstaff and fairly good food. A good place to go for a casual breakfast, but nothing fantastically special.

Frozen & fried is the name of the game. Nothing here is homemade, yes the décor is a cute throwback but I wish more emphasis would be put on the quality of food they are serving.
Don’t expect to see Rt. 40 Diner on Triple D.
Just throwing in my $ .02, but they should have put the money they spent on the diner into the drive-​in they are so desperately trying to save.

AMAZING diner! i would go here every day if i could. excellent décor, neon lights and polished stainless steel everywhere. friendly waitresses too. the food was great, i had the «garbage pile» breakfast (a mix of biscuits and gravy, eggs, home fries, bacon, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese) that was heart stoppingly good. I wish i could transplant it into my home town, but i’ll have to settle for visiting every time i go to the National Pike Machinery Show in Brownsville.

Loved this place. My family went here as part of an east coast diner tour. Ginny was our waitress. She was unbelievable. Attentive and kind with a great personality. All of the staff was kind. Restrooms were clean. Meatloaf was homemade and the milkshake were rich and full of strawberries (strawberry milkshake). The turkey dinner is a specialty too. Definitely stop here. Worth the trip.

Unless you really don’t have a kitchen or more than $ 2, don’t stop here. Its cute, 1950s dinner appeal is completely a front for food that is from a box and unappetizing.
