Dave's Diner Manlius Reviews
We love coming to Dave’s Diner for breakfast and lunch! The servers are so friendly and the food is delicious, classic diner food.
Busy day, a bit of a line but things moved right along. Service and food were good.
Surprisingly impressed and loved!! Thought this was a greasy spoon kind of place and was in every way wrong. The blueberry pancakes!!! French toast with fresh strawberries!! What!?! Fresh Maple syrup?!?!?! Delicious. Western omelette with home fries that had veggies in it!! They make a homemade chai latte. Fabulous! The cold crew rich dark chocolate taste! Just order anything and everything here. It was all amazing.
I love this diner! Every time I visit, I make a point to eat here. The food is so fresh, delicious, served in a traditional diner atmosphere. It is clear it is a local hangout as everyone said good morning to each other as they enter. I recommend sitting at the counter to get an authentic experience. The coffee is served steaming hot, and was always topped off. $15 for coffee, two eggs, two pancakes, two sausage links, two bacon slices…a good value for a filling breakfast!
My wife and I try a lot of diners. This is our favorite. They are very consistent. Everything on the plate is delicious every time. There's never a time when we say things like "these parts were good, but this part was OK." Every time we've been, every part of the meal has been great. They are also pretty fast regardless of how busy they are. Waitresses are always friendly. It has a real old-school diner vibe, with great food and service. If you're on the fence between this place and the daily diner, try here first.
This is my husband and mine go to place for breakfast! Food is great, quick and always hot! Basic breakfast food made wonderfully.
If you are looking for a classic diner, go to Dave's! I love a simple eggs, bacon, homefries, and toast for breakfast and Dave's never let's me down. Love the waitresses who have been there forever!! The food is very affordable and service is fast!
Standard diner food. Pancakes don't taste like a homemade batter, probably a basic instant mix, also no real maple. Eggs Benny were good (according to my son). Standard toasts, eggs etc. Quick service, always a decent crowd even weekdays. Reasonable portions- not overloaded. Everything came out hot and correct!
Visited this diner on a Sunday around 11 am. There was a short wait. Service was quick, considering how busy they were, and the service was friendly. I got the eggs Benny with spinach. Very good. I asked for my potatoes to be crispy, but they weren't any different than the other potatoes coming out. Oh, well. Coffee was hot and plentiful.
Small diner so most likely you will have to wait. Wait time however wasnt to bad id say 15-20 minutes for a 2 top. Our order was modified by us and server became irritated. Once food was delivered we felt ignored n after stacking plates she dropped check n just continued with attitude towards us. I felt like we did something to offend her, she was the most unwarming server ive encountered in a long time! But the food tasted good, smaller portions but right amount to fill us up! Overall id still give it a second chance just pray i dont get the same server lol
Food was good. The waitress was great. The greeter was not very nice. There was a wait and she sat people out of list order. She claimed she called names, but she was never more than 6 feet away. It was obvious that she sat whom she wanted. It is okay. The next time I will not leave the Daily Diner, where the wait was longer, just to go to Dave's for unfair treatment. Good food isn't everything. Thank God for the good waitress we had
