Route 74 Restaurant

Without a doubt, this is one of the best family restaurants around. The staff is some of the most amazing and friendliest people. It feels very homey and comforting. This was our first time here, but it won't be the last!! The food was absolutely delicious. The meat lovers omelette was packed full and the french fries were super fresh. 10/10 recommending to everyone!

Staff here is great-- super friendly and accommodating. Walked in and we were able to seat ourselves. Unsure if they have high chairs-- I didn't ask because I had a portable chair for my daughter anyway. Everyone LOVED her though. You can tell the customers (bunch of old people) are definite regulars. Service was fast. They brought me a coffee and a water out right away. Glanced at the menu and decided to order the 2 eggs with toast, homefries, and bacon. My friend ordered some omlette. She is on the keto diet and was unaware that they came with homefries mixed inside. No matter, we actually traded breakfasts. Not exactly what I wanted, it came with peppers, onions, and ham inside, but enough hot sauce solved everything! Coffee was hot, but (I may be slightly snobby) left something to be desired. I drank it purely for the caffeine though, hahaha. This was my second visit-- it had been years since I had been back, as we live in a different state now. I suppose I would visit again and perhaps try the French toast or pancakes. All in all, service is worth the 4 star review and the food is more like a 3 for me!

Woke up to crummy weather at Gifford Pinchot so I checked Yelp for a local breakfast place. Huge portions, well cooked. Plenty of room inside even though it looks tiny. Service was very attentive.

A small dinner that is locally own. with young children running around in A.M hours. Reasonable priced menu that brings in a lot of regulars. Portions are good and service is fast and friendly. Food is decent. And what else i seen come out kitchen looked good. The place looked clean. Not sure if it is Covid Compliant. I will come back here. Maybe for dinner.

Excellent location for a good breakfast to start your day. All food is home cooked and the prices are affordable.

I was camping nearby for one night, so I decided to give this place a try after reading a few Yelp reviews, and not wanting to clean up the kitchen, in addition to packing up / hooking up the camper for travel home. I walked in, and was able to grab a seat at the small counter, did not wait for a coffee, and the food was out of the kitchen quick. My breakfast was very good. Route 74 is not a large restaurant. The staff there was great, service was personal. Some locals were there as well on a Sunday morning. If the friendly locals are there, you know it is a good place. I will be returning to Route 74 on my next trip to the area. Thank you.

I use to go to 74 diner at least twice a week for breakfast. Now that the new owner/owners took over I completely stop going. I gave this place two tries after it took new ownership, the first time it took forever to get a refill on my water and my crab cake sandwich was still frozen in the middle. They did replace the sandwich but I was given no apology and the waitress never checked back on us to see if we needed anything. The second time the food was good but very poor service. I now enjoy my breakfast at Dover Valley Restaurant.

This used to be a really good diner. I think every place has its little quirks but since this one was taken over by new ownership at the beginning of 2017, the food is delicious but the service is really lacking. Kelly, the owner, is a very personable person and we'll go out of her way to make things just the way you like them. On the other hand, her wait staff specifically Sabrina, is slow, distracted and generally not very nice to the customers. Unfortunately, I will not give them any more of my money. I hear them many times talking in the back room and even out front about the people who used to own the place and the people for whom they used to work and it's a lot of negativity in front of customers. It's not something that you want to hear when you just want to go for a pleasant breakfast in the morning.

My friend and I were headed to the Dover Antique Mall next door and decided to stop for breakfast. Both of us were sick within 2 hours of eating there. My French toast was not cooked on one side. Which, I didn't notice until after I took 2 bites. Spit the second one out. Loaded with margarine, luckily second batch had butter with it instead. Friends omelette wasn't an omelette it was friend eggs??Waitress was excellent. And, she apologized profusely. Wouldn't recommend nor eat there again.

Take out always available. Offers drive thru for people who don't feel comfortable coming inside to eat/ pick up food but must call order in first.
