Looks like an everyday normal diner from the outside, but food is actually higher quality than what you would think this diner would offer. Friendly servers, not-watered down coffee, and clean plates.

I have eaten here over 10 times and all were for breakfast. I complain a lot about my food but never have I complained while eating here. I always get a waffle with bacon and a side scrambled egg and I am not only full when I leave but satisfied. Their waffles are the best! So light and airy!

This place was very clean and service was good. We had lunch, originally was supposed to breakfast but changed our minds. We the nearly the best potato skins we've ever had, it loaded with bacon and topped with cheese. I had the steak quesadilla. I thought the portions were big and there fries are delicious. My girlfriend had a grilled chicken club which she says was good. I will be going back for those tater skins.

Someone told me that Daiva's food was delicious and that I should check it out. I tried it for dinner and the food was good but I don't think it met the hype that I was expecting. The food was good that is true but I think that it was overpriced for just average diner food and the service was very slow. Our server was friendly and got our order right but it took a very long time to get glasses of water and our bill. However, the food came out within only ten minutes of ordering so the kitchen is fast! I ordered a chicken cheese steak and french fries. I was charged and extra $1.00 for american cheese on the steak. Strange because if I didn't ask for cheese I would have just got chicken in a roll. It was also $1.75 for fries instead of chips. I recommend the french fries because they were great! My boyfriend got a buffalo chicken wrap and it was very good. If you are in the mood for typical diner food this is your spot.

This diner is clean and the food is good. You can't go wrong with eggs, bacon, and home fries. Their crab cakes are excellent as is the Roasted Scallop Salad (which has disappeared from the menu but I am hoping for it to make a comeback). Some changes they need to make include putting the crab cake sandwich on a better roll, not overcooking the tasty calamari, and bringing back that awesome balsamic vinaigrette. Also, they need to be sure they have a variety of pies on hand at all times...not cakes...pies...as every diner should.

On 10/31/13 a comment was posted by an irate costumer claiming allegations that are far from the truth. Allen Arnold, yes a regular that has been coming to this restaurant since the opening, is the one Nikle and diming the facility for anything he can get for free. Since he first stepped foot in the door he has been sucking things out of the generous owner of the establishment who was nice enough to treat him with the upmost respect even though it was not returned. It comes to a point when enough is enough, for example he constantly complains for more home fries, 10% off, constant refills without charge I could go on for days about this. This man is down right rude treating the staff no more than merger animals as he sits on his imaginary pedistool. On his comment he neglected to mention how he was screaming curse words and thoughing a fit similar to a five year old girl who didn't get the poney for her birthday. We need to bring to light how this man actually is so people are not brainwashed by his manuiplating words. Cheap, disrespectful, rude, manipulating and a downright pig him never coming back makes me want to jump in the air for joy. The lies pouring out of his mouth make me sick to my stomach. I love this restaurant, I love the staff, and I love Daiva. I hope Allen Arnold reads this.

I like this place a lot. Really good food, reasonable prices. Ive never waited or a table here for longer than about 5 minutes either. The staff is great, and I feel welcome every time I eat there. Give it a shot.

Daiva's has an elaborate fence and wheel chair ramp on the side facing Ridge Ave. The only problem is that there is no gate to get in!! Me and a few men waiting for the bus kept on pushing at it to see if it was hidden. Nope. Entrance was around back. What a waste of time. I do not think that the owner wants frustrated customers, or worse yet, customers who walk away without going around back. They need a sign. I went there around 5:15ish and the place was pretty much empty. I didn't see any early bird specials in the menu. No, I am not a senior, but that would have the place full, at least. Ordered a lemonade, french onion soup and an omlette with crab meat, home fries and toast. The soup was very good, but I did notice that all the bread in the crock was a uniform cube, like it came out of a crouton box. When I got the soup, waitress asked me if I wanted another lemonade or water (which was provided in the first place). I ordered one. Now to the omlette...it came out flat as a crepe. I asked the waitress why it wasn't fluffy (i.e like an omlette). SHe said they made it natural with no milk. What? Seriously? I ordered crab, do I look like a vegetarian? Omlette was irritatingly flat and undersized. For the price, they could use more than 3 eggs. It was undersized with some gloppy hollandaise plastic sauce they only added moisture to the dry egg, and no flavor. The man behind me, with a different server said he didn't want onions in his has browns. Server said they didn't add anything to the hash browns cause they were served natural. My hash browns could have used some dag-gon fried onions. All this natural stuff just seems like the owner doesn't want to spend money on product. How much does an onion cost, and egg? Waitress disappeared most of the time. Now for the lovely hand-written bill I got. It was scribbled all over and things were not labeled. Oh, EXCEPT the fact they charge for each serving of lemonade I refilled. I was like, you have got to be kidding. Then the hostess pulled out the menu, and in small print it says this. I hadn't even had the chance to look at a menu before ordering the lemonade. If there is an up-charge, they NEED to tell people! The food is overpriced for the neighborhood and by diner standards. There is also a lovely freezer unit in the dining room across from me that squealed every 5 minutes when staff opened and closed it. Get some WD-40. It was really annoying. The only good thing besides the soup, I found was the male waiter. Of course, he wasn't MY waiter. He knew the menu, was friendly with the guests and seemed like an asset any restaurant would love. Not this place.

Our new favorite diner. Clean, friendly service and better than average diner food. Even the salmon was good.
(5)Julie C.
Great food, fast service, and our waitress was a sweetheart. A great new diner in the Manayunk area.

I've been there twice in the past month while visiting the area. It's hard to find a clean eat-in diner that is clean and the family feels comfortable in. Daiva's fits in real nice. The food is very good and has that home made touch (exception-fish and chips, the fish were like frozen battered from the grocery store) with new items on the menu. The staff were all very friendly and prices very affordable. Parking is easy in the back, which is a nice plus on Ridge Ave. If I ever get back to Philly I will most definitely revisit Daiva's.

Ok been awhile since I reviewed this place, have been there for breakfast, lunch and Dinner, the place is VERY GOOD with good service, portion size is slightly smaller than what you might get at some diners, but they don't skimp
(4)Matt R.
Went here for breakfast this past Sunday. Had been here before and knew it was a reliable option. Would love to have hit up Bob's diner next to my house but this is much more spread out and kid friendly. As far as breakfast it's the usual fare and the only thing I've eaten here. Pretty much have everything you can think of at really good prices. Quick service. Reliable. Seems to draw a good crowd.
(4)Rie C.
i have eaten breakfast here a few times and the food has always been good. However, this time I found some hairs in my food, which is a big turn-off. I can understand maybe one hair once in a grand while, but to find more than one was just too much for me to take. Perhaps hair nets would be in order? All I know is that it is going to be a very long time before I work up the courage to go back there again.

I went here for breakfast with my boyfriend the other weekend and it was pretty good. The place is well laid out, has a decent sized parking lot, and is very clean. The menu seemed kinda boring to me compared to other fancier, breakfast places. But, they had the basics. I got french toast and it was good. I would never come to a diner for anything besides breakfast food because that's usually what they're best at. The prices were pretty reasonable here. It was about $20 for both of us. The service here was definitely above average for a diner. Our waitress was great. Overall, I enjoyed it here and I will probably end up coming back for breakfast sometime.

Good quality food. Never feel rushed. Spacious inside. Good coffee. Private parking lot & price is good !!!
(5)Kelly C.
Today I ate here for the second time. It's pretty good, pretty reasonably priced diner food. It's your typical greasy spoon kinda place. It's not the best food, it's not the worst food. I definitely enjoyed my meal, and so did my wife, both times we went. We will definitely be back when we need a cheap, easy diner fix. The customer service leaves something to be desired. The staff looks tired and bored and just friendly enough. Our first visit, our waitress brought our check by before I had the chance to ask for a slice of cheesecake for dessert--I hate that! You house at least ask if we're completely finished before bringing the check. Then she saw we pour cash on the table... She walked by and asked if that was her tip! I said yeah and she took it. Also kinda weird to do. Then we saw she was cashing out her tips so obviously she was leaving, but I think there's a better way to do that. Today's visit was much better. Our waitress was kind and kept checking on us and brought us more drinks. She also said "I'll be right back with your check" which leaves the opportunity for us to say hang on I want something else, if we wanted to. All in all its a good place and Id recommend it. We only had breakfast food, but it was good!

One of the best restaurants I've been to. Byob and full of great service and food. It's well priced and the selection is exquisite!

This review is for BREAKFAST ONLY - frankly not a big fan of lunch here, never been for dinner, but BREAKFAST is great! This restaurant, in a former Pizza Hut, is the only really good spot on Ridge Avenue for breakfast. It is always clean, large enough that you will not have to wait long or outside, has efficient staff, is priced fairly, and has a menu varied enough to please anyone. Again, this is breakfast only! Food highlights for me center around the omelettes. now they have the traditional bacon-cheese or western, and those are good, but the Maryland Crab, the Philly Cheesesteak, and the Lox and Onion stand out as excellent. Ask for your potatoes well-done though, as occasionally they can be not quite cooked all the way. Other excellent options include the horrifically named Cholesterol Builder (creamed chip beef with toast, eggs, potatoes) and the croissant sandwich. You cannot go wrong with the pancakes either - not too heavy, not too sweet...but packaged syrup? Bring your own. The only failure on the breakfast menu is the Corned Beef Casserole. It's straight from the can and tastes like it. If you cannot do corn beef hash right, please don't do it at all...but please do it Daiva! Prices are a touch on the high side, but not outrageous. More attention could be paid to the coffee cups for us caffeine addicts, but the servers are all awesome, the pace is fast (you won't waste your morning waiting for breakfast), and anything not up to par is quickly fixed. BEST BREAKFAST ON RIDGE AVENUE!

Drive by this place all the time so finally decided to try it out! The service was great and the food was your typical diner food but was good!! The thing I really like was the the place was very clean! We will be back for sure!
(3)Kevin L.
The food is okay at best. The staff are nice however. I wouldnt order anything else besides breakfast as the dinners and lunches are just okay.
(2)Ryan D.
Went there because my car was getting an oil change next door. Had an awesome omelet and my gf had huge French toast! It is very good. For our food and drinks were 20 bucks. Great price for the good food. Order their Italian or cheese steak omelet. Service can be slow at times if the place is packed. Otherwise would be 5 stars
(4)Annabell C.
Oh man. Just left this joint and boy am I disappointed and only comfortably full, not stuffed. When we walked in there was already a wait. Which Im fine with, I actually like to see that at diners and such. wait was only about 10-14 minutes. Our food took quite a bit to come out. Maybe 20 min. In that time was able to observe how efficient the busser amd hostess were but also noticed how our waitress spilled the pitcher of water on the table next to us. She was filling someones water straight onto the table and I guess it all came pouring out onto the table and some on his plate of food. I ordered the breakfast combo, with side creamed chip beef. My girl ordered breakfast combo as well. When our food finally came out, I couldn't believe my eggs looked the way they did. I wanted scrambled eggs but got old yellow rubber on my plate. So that was a bust. There was probably 1/2 potato on my plate. The French Toast wasnt bad, either was the creamed chip beef. It was very basic, hard to go wrong on that. My girls pancakes were nice size. But thaf didnt make up for the lack of potatoes and eggs on my plate. The waitress didnt seem very aware. My experience here probably wont bring me back. Came here because we were in the area, but id rather drive a little further to go somewhere else.
(2)Katrina D.
A reliable neighborhood diner with decent food at decent prices. I've only gone for breakfast so far but I'd recommend it as a big step up from Bob's and the perfect alternative to the pricier brunch options in the Yunk. Nothing to rave about but also nothing to complain about.
(3)Joseph L.
Good is just ok, prices are ridiculous. Don't ask for anything extra. A little cya holindase sauce wad$1.50. Home fries small and flat against dish. Paid$15 for breakfast, did not inform me of any xtra charges. Bob's dinner had twice the food, tastes better and half the price.
(1)Heather H.
Pretty good diner. We went here for breakfast. Coffee is bottomless and diner quality. The food and service were both fast which is great on the weekends! Especially liked the breakfast potatoes but that might have just been my hangover. Only bad part was that our server was the sweatiest man in the world! He kept wiping his forehead and touching our drinks. Kinda gross....
(3)Lillian J.
My husband and I went to this restaurant yesterday. The place is clean and looked invitng but that is where it ends. Our waitress was grumpy and clearly didn't want to be there and appeared like she didn't want to wait on us. She slapped the menus on the table and left. About 10 minutes later she asked what we wanted to drink. We both ordered coffee. Another 10 minutes passed before the coffee arrived. In the meantime this elderly caucasian waitress totally ignored us. When we asked her a question ablout the breakfat menu she shouted out while walking "IT IS LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE MENU". We couldn't believe our ears. My husband and I had enough and decided to leave after paying for our coffee. That same waitress came to the register while we were waiting to pay for the coffee,, and more or less shooed us out the door saying never mind about paying for the coffee. No trying to apologize for the service or that we were leaving without ordering our food. The rudeness of this waitress is unexcusable and we will NEVER go back again.

Man did Roxborough seriously need a diner. Technically we already have 3, but Main Street sucks (even with booze to sell), Taylor's might as well not exist, and Bob's is way past it's prime plus I've had too many skeevey experiences there to ever go back. Daiva's (pronounced like the "diva" in Godiva Chocolate, or so a waitress says...) fills a major void in my hangover remedy repertoire, and they may even be byob to boot (Lady Davia's old spot was an unofficial byob diner, so maybe if they aren't officially one, they still might look the other way). Daiva's is an average sized diner with good food for an reasonable price, but it scores extra points for bringing back something to this neighborhood that has been lacking for many years. As other's have said, the owner came from the Domino (and it looks like a lot of the wait staff did too), so let's hope this new spot can enjoy the longevity and success the old one did (during the Vlahos years, that is), and that it can avoid a fire like the one that did the Dom in, coincidentally striking after business went downhill. Filled with many window booths (likely holdovers from the location's Pizza Hut days) and even more tables, but with extra visibility inside because the old school window tint has finally been removed, the place and staff shine with that new penny luster that makes you feel safe eating here, a feeling lacking in the other borough diners. I'm all about eating my food a climate controlled environment with the added UV protection of a roof and walls, but, for you sun worshipers, there is also a fenced in patio with limited seating so that you can enjoy all the splendors of Ridge Avenue. I still thoroughly miss Pizza Hut, though technically speaking I am much more happy with the food available at Daiva's, but at least I will always have my memories (talkin' 'bout you, Pocahontas impersonating Hut waitress).
(4)Jimmy K.
The food is typical diner food, nothing spectacular. I did however enjoy the chipped beef which had long slices of beef in it. Just recently moved to the area so haven't been able to compare with other places yet, but this will most likely be my go to diner for a while.

I have been a "regular" for years at Daiva's, ever since she took over from the Turkish brothers who had it before. I ate there an average of 6 days each week. I would sit at the counter, usually the same seat, and order breakfast every day. I knew most everyone, customers, waitresses, cooks. When Daiva first opened, things were fine, but gradually the place slipped in quality, attitude and price. Some things you let slide, like variations in serving size, normal price increases, etc. But lately, there has been a noticable pattern of using the cheapest quality food and a lot of "nickel and dime" extra charges. For example, eliminating the senior discount on most meals, unreasonable extra charges for lemonade refills or adding charges for any variations to the menu. The last straw was today. I ordered a Spanish omelette. When it came out, it had only the smallest amount of "sauce" on it. I asked the waiter if he could put on just a little more sauce, just a small dollop. When he came out he says "It will cost an extra dollar". I laughed because I thought he was kidding. He was not. I protested and asked to speak to Daiva. She wasn't there. He tells me that Alex the manager ordered the extra charge. I said I wanted to speak to Alex. Alex refuses to come out of the kitchen and speak with me. I poke my head in the kitchen and ask Alex if he's serious? When he says yes, I tell him I come in here almost every day for years and that's not right. Alex, the manager says, and I quote "I don't give a shit." At that point I tell the waiter I'm leaving, don't eat or pay, and let them know I will not be back. What a stupid and disrespectful way to treat a customer! I spent an average of $250 dollars a month to eat there. Over the last two years, that's about $6000. I will tell this to my friends and recommend that they eat somewhere else. I hope Daiva reads this.

Excellent breakfast with great prices and good service! Must try the Belgian Waffles with strawberries and whip cream. The french toast is amazing too! Food is WAY BETTER THAN LeBus and it cost half the price. Oh and Breakfast is served all day! I can not wait to go back and try some of the dishes on their dinner menu. This is not your average diner! The food is fresh and leans toward being more upscale. I highly suggest you try Daiva's. The food is incredible and prices are even better. Oh and it beats dealing with the nonsense on Main St.
(5)Zack D.
Went for breakfast, good/fast service and very reasonable prices. Food was decent, will go back to try some other things off the menu.
(4)Angel R.
Breakfast Burrito is very good. I hardly ever like the homefries served at diners but i must say I enjoyed themhere. Also try the amazing french toast. Its a behemoth of flavors. The portions are ample. I would definitely go back to Daivas.
(3)KJ S.
A very nice, clean diner with good food. The decor is up to date and everything is clean, which is sometimes hard to find in a diner. The food is nothing fancy, but it's good and the prices are good. The staff was attentive and nice, despite a huge crowd in the place. I wasn't a fan of the previous establishment in this location, but I'll go back to Daiva's again.
(4)Joanna W.
My husband and I wanted to try something new. We had heard good things about Daiva's previous diner establishment. The diner was very clean and newly remodeled. It has parking in the back, which was convenient. I wasn't a huge fan of the super bright fluorescent lights that were in every light fixture. Anyways, the food is what's important. I ordered the ultima stuffed french toast. It was definitely ultimate. 3 huge slices, with bananas, strawberries, walnuts, sweet cream, and whipped cream. It was too sweet too eat the entire thing, and I only ate one slice. It was good, but I would've preferred it to be less sweet. My husband ordered eggs overeasy, toast, a bagel, and home fries (carbtastic, I know). Eggs were done perfectly which is something he often complains they are over cooked. The only thing missing was some flavor in the home fries. They were pretty bland. Service was good. Oh, the coffee was very good. We would definitely come back, but try a different meal next time.
