“ A wonderful diner experience. The service staff is kind and attentive. This is a locals feel welcome atmosphere and do by default so did we. The food was prompt & plentiful. The coffee was hot and delicious. The gorgeous glass mugs a plus. We had breakfast. In and out quickly but no one rushed us. Packed at 11am because it's well worth the visit. The way they treat their customers with care & attention is wholesome. The place was clean with plenty of seating. 10/10 would visit again. ”
“ East Penn is accommodating and clean with excellent service and great food. My girlfriend and I usually go there on Sundays. Whether we order breakfast or lunch, the food is consistently wonderful and the staff has been stellar. And their coffee has been the best I have had in a diner in some time. ”
“ East Penn is a clean, popular diner in Emmaus. They have a salad bar and they make soups such as lemon chicken & rice, cauliflower and lobster bisque. Rochelle sandwich was good, french fries were very good. Stir fry with scallops & vegetables was a good, healthy meal. Roasted chicken breast with crabmeat was very good and came with side of pretty good mashed potatoes. We We also tried Texas meatloaf with BBQ sauce on the side and steamed broccoli. Granny Smith Apple pie was rich. They open early, close late and have something for everyone. ”
“ I was very impressed with East Penn Diner this morning. I have lived across the street for awhile now and finally got over there for breakfast. This is Dutch Benedict: English muffin, scrapple, poached egg & holidaise sauce. Crisp home fries laced with sensational fried onions. Corned beef hash that was perfectly crisp on the outside. The cook who poached these eggs is a master of his craft. The scrapple was crisp and well executed. This was one of the best diner breakfasts I have had in a long while! I can't believe it was right under my nose. The service was warm and friendly. The place was packed and my party sat at the breakfast bar. The coffee was decent. The dessert case was right in front of me and it all looked tremendous. #rushieeats ”
“ This diner has really upped their game. I've been many times. I was here yesterday morning. And the food was absolutely fantastic. The server was so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was good. It was very clean and tidy. I recommend the East Penn diner to anyone that wants a good breakfast or maybe lunch. They also have lunch items. I definitely recommend this diner. ”
“ Two things stood out: 1. A cheeseburger ordered medium rare was delivered 'dead solid perfect' medium rare. In my experience in the Valley this does not routinely happen even among fine dining establishments, let alone a diner. Next time I'm in the mood for a burger, I'm heading here. 2. Our server Manuela (I hope I spelled her name correctly) was about as professional and personable as one can be. She combined an effortless conviviality with a sense of humor and customer focus. Outstanding - and a tremendous asset to this organization. Might also mention that I was able to get a waffle, though it was well after what most people would define as breakfast hours. Based upon this and previous visits this 5 star rating is well-earned. Full disclosure: A healthy number of years ago I did own and operate a large diner in Philadelphia. It is not a business for the faint of heart. It is, as most people would guess, a demanding and notoriously fickle industry. When I see a diner/restaurant operating as smoothly as does East Penn, I am delighted to give them their due. ”
“ I certainly enjoy coming here. The Rueben 8 ounce burger is pretty awesome!! Will definitely have it again ina few trips here. ”
