Court Diner

My dad and I stopped here one night for dinner on the way home from Springfield. I always drive past here and see it on my way through Media so thought, why not let's try it. Things we liked - My dad got eggplant rollatini and thought it was ok. Things we didn't like - The wait time with our server. She would disappear for large portions of time, meanwhile other tables with other servers were in and out before us. The calamari looked like onion rings. They were huge rings that were breaded and fried to almost a burnt crisp and the marinara sauce was plain and tasteless. I had a turkey panini that didn't have any type of toothpick or holder. When you picked it up, the sandwich immediately fell part with all the ingredients sliding out and being a huge mess. The fries were bland, overly cooked and not appealing at all. Our server may have been new, but she asked about our food after we ate it and when we shrugged, she said "she would never order it from here herself."It's not a diner I would try again.

The service was great. Our waitress was sweet and funny and took good care of us. The diner was clean and fairly quiet. The food was mediocre, though. Unfortunately. It was bland. We ordered the Reuben, and there was no dressing on it and barely any saurkraut, which, if you know what kind of sandwich that is, those are main components! The homemade perogies were potato and cheese. They, too, weren't seasoned. We also ordered the shrimp pasta, which, again, bland. I ended up bringing it home and fixing it up. The Mac and cheese was also from a box. Overall, the service was outstanding, but the food just wasn't worth it.

The food was fresh and delicious. Japeno spread on a juicy beef burger with avocado and onions.Jen is the most high energy, accurate waitress. A wonderful smile, and fast on her feet.The bloody Mary, made by the hostess to die for.A real flavor bomb.I'm happy we chose court diner for lunch!Dr. C. Collins

Great food and service! Highly recommended if your in the area. Great value and atmosphere for a diner!

Serviceable diner.Unexceptional, but gets the job done.Hours could be expanded, not much direct competition in the area.

Court Diner was the fist restaurant we visited indoors at the lull of the pandemic. We did go in there with significant trepidation; only one of us was fully vaccinated, awaiting the minimum time between shots. But what we saw, gave us comfort and a sense of safety.The Court Diner has been a timeless dining icon in Media foe generations. And it survives because of the same tradition that it has made it a generational venue.. No frills, excellent food, comfortable chairs, fast and efficient service, and a friendly attitude from the staff.We were seated within minutes of arriving there for brunch. There was an ambiance of safety, with staff masked appropriately. Food was superb as always. I had the Chorizo omelet which was finger-licking awesome. My spouse had the eggs Benedict and that was also memorable.Having moved away to Northern New England, I look forward to coming here when we're visiting family. It is definitely an institution.

Turn off Newsmax in dining room please - put on sports - weather anything but right ( or left ) politics. I do not want to watch mr pillow while eating my breakfast pillows Decades long customer. Excellent food /service good value.

I would like to see them open longer hours (diner hours) but they do take cards instead of only cash which is convenient for a diner. I've eaten breakfast there twice and recommend one of the omelets with homefries. I've had both the western and chorizo ones and both tasted very good. The Court Diner is a cozy little Delco diner and definitely caters to the locals which is nice these days. The wait staff seem like that's been their trade for many years which is also rare and nice to have these days. Go for breakfast or brunch!

Sorry to give a negative review because this place is a much loved family restaurant in Media. I used to love it, but this time, I was afraid we would all get food poisoning. Each dish was disgusting in its own way. My salmon was overbroiled and the asparagus stringy, unflavored and inedible. My son's meatballs were grey, and he said they were too disgusting to eat. My youngest's breakfast for dinner came with a few specks of scrambled egg and ungenerous bacon, plus a side of oldish, brownish strawberries we ordered on the side. My son got the wrong soup; I tried the Italian wedding and the meatballs had a rotten aftertaste. Next day we aren't noticeably sick, but what is going on?! The service was friendly, but missed many things. It also took well over half an hour to get our food and I had to remind her to bring our soup, which she finally did, with the entrees. A disappointing dinner. At least, on the plus side, they are friendly and the prices haven't kept up with inflation. I cannot see wanting to eat here again anytime soon and I'm wishing the health department would look into it.

I usually come here for breakfast and order the French toast special with scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. It's always delicious, I can't go wrong there. However one time I ordered a waffle instead and it came out cool, not warm at all and a little hard. Please serve your waffles hot and spongy, thank you.
