John's Plain and Fancy Diner

Decent food at a reasonable, price 24 hours pretty much sums up the experience at John’s Plain and Fancy Diner. The salad bar is fresh but small, reasonably priced at $5 (discounted if added onto selected items). The dessert selection is extensive and baked on premises. I haven’t tried any of the baked goods but they all look tempting at the counter when you walk in. The menu overall is quite large, with breakfast served at any time and items ranging from Mexican to Italian along with the standard diner items.

From Morrisville, PA – Used to enjoy coming up to visit family and eating here (over an hour from where we live). We were there over the weekend for an early dinner with family. Salad bar was horrible – watered down dressing, fermented cole slaw and cranberry sauce, hard rolls right out of a supermarket bag and baked manicotti that was prepared in less than 5 minutes from ordering after the first meal ordered wasn’t available – Baked manicotti in less than five minutes is not possible – even nuked – it wasn’t hot or done. My husband had to walk out of the restaurant he was so frustrated. Used to love it – now I don’t know if we’ll ever go back – SHAME ON THEM. What happened to quality control? However, our waitress was great.

Stopped in for dinner from Pocono to Philly. A very large dining area, no wait for table. Everything looked nice and clean even the salad bar which was great. The bread and rolls are a great touch to the bar. Quick service and fair pricing, will definitely stop again.

I ordered a reuben that arrived at my table with a pile of chips. The sandwich looked and smelled delicious but when I tried to bite into it, the meat was so tough I had to cut it into bite sized pieces. Even the knife had trouble getting through the meat! Also, I ordered a kids meal at a little over $5.00. A bit pricey for what was offered. I’ll be skipping this place next time through Quakertown.
