⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Catherine Dougherty
They have the best pancakes hand down. Crispy on the edges. Fluffy in the middle. The BEST scrapple egg & cheese hoagie. No one does it like Guilday’s. A true Delaware staple for sure!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Linda Halsey
Not fancy, down home, but the food is really good love their breakfast - and hot roast beef sandwiches can't be beat. Real mashed potatoes. $9.99 for either 2 pancakes or French toast, 2 eggs, bacon or sausage or double bacon, double sausage.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Eleanor Zgheib
Good food. Friendly staff. Very clean. The price was incredible for the food they gave you. We tried the breakfast specials and included coffee. Don't turn away if you see the place looks packed outside, Everyone parks upfront, but you'll find parking in the back. If not parked by Walgreens, it's only a few steps away. You have to try this gem with your friends and family.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Bruce W Athy Jr
First time visiting and service was really good. Food very tasty. If I have anything I wasn't pleased with it would be the home fries. I prefer mine sliced thin. But that's there preference so no problem.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Alyssa Feist
Was very shocked about the pricing being so low, and the food is great! They have a great deal for breakfast that includes drinks! The pancake was so fluffy and not too sugary, the bacon was crispy and very tasty, and I am normally an iced coffee person but I enjoyed a nice cup of hot coffee. Signal wise, there isn’t much to any. But honestly, it pushes you to talk to those around you and put the phone down. Connected with loads of people during breakfast. Very a home feel environment with home cooked food.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Cynthia Miller
It was my first time at this place. You seat yourself. The service was a little slow. I ordered a 3 egg omelet with ham, cheese, and mushrooms. Very nice portions. The food was good for the price. Good value. I would definitely go back and hope I get better service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Moe The Mexican
