Elm Tree Diner

We rolled in here on motorcycles, a half hour before closing and we’re greeted with a smile, friendly atmosphere excellent food recommendations and a very affordable bill. The conversation I had with the waitress and the cook was great. I felt like we left there with friends and all of their baked goods are made in house and they keep food as fresh and local as possible and you can really tell the difference. We both had a prime cut of steak and it was a fantastic way to end our travel day.

Wonderful classic diner experience. The basic atmosphere is part of that trope. Quick service. Coffee was basic diner coffee, won't win any awards but was warming and plentiful. That omelette was monster though. Tremendous. The meats were flavorful and the veggies weren't clearly from some can. I appreciate that. Toast could have been better. I guess I like it buttered on arrival rather than spending minutes spreading my own. Tad dry too but acceptable. The home fries could have been chopped more finely but the sauteed onions really bumped them up. General lack of salt but I suppose avoiding putting our elderly population into an instant congestive heart failure exacerbation is generally a good idea. Yes, some objections but overall a great experience and I will return.

I've been three times now and each time I received good food and fast service. I like that they serve breakfast all day in case I get a hankering for afternoon waffles. Clean bathrooms, always a good sign of a well maintained establishment.

Lunch date with hubby. Very busy time, and the wait for the food was a bit long for what we ordered, but not terrible. Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Delicious! Fish was good but not great.

Friendly, quick service. Food was excellent with massive portions. Steak and cheese sub was better than a lot of places we’ve had in Philly!
