Daddypops Diner

Amazing dinner right around the street and popular with locals. Ordered flapjack and French toast with scrambled eggs. The portions were big and delicious. Attentive staff and waitresses and had. An overall friendly vibe. Its a small diner but very cozy and has a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting this place again when I'm in town.

DaddyPop’s is more than a diner—it feels like a blessing in our weekly routine. My mother-in-law and I have been coming every Friday for breakfast for about two years, and we’re always welcomed by name with genuine kindness. The servers and owners are incredibly sweet and make you feel like family. The food is consistently amazing—especially the stuffed French toast, which is absolutely heavenly. You can feel the love and care in everything they do. Grateful for this place and the people who make it so special. We’ll keep coming back every Friday! 🙏❤️

I am visiting the area from NC and was hoping to find a good mom and pop shop to enjoy local cooking. Daddypops did not disappoint. The building was unique and takes you back in time, and they had a functioning old timey jukebox. The waitresses were all friendly, even the ones not waiting on me, and the owner took the time to speak with everyone in there. The place was packed but didn't have to wait too long for a place to sit. It's definitely a good sign when a local spot is busy and packed because then you know the food is good and worth waiting on. And it was indeed! The fried potatoes with onions tasted like ones my grandparents used to make us and the bacon was real good and thick and had a good smoked flavor. Being from the south, I was nervous trying the grits, but they didn't disappoint either. Will be going back for breakfast tomorrow!

I’ve always wanted to stop by here for breakfast or lunch—it looks so inviting whenever I pass it on my way to the office. I finally visited on a Saturday morning and was greeted and seated right away. The menu has a great selection, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted delicious. There was plenty to eat, and I’d definitely go back. The décor adds to the fun atmosphere, and I think anyone would enjoy their visit.

Dining in the vintage barber’s chair at Dappypop’s Diner in downtown Hatboro is the only dining experience where you legally have to sign a waiver acknowledging that you might accidentally spin 360 degrees while holding a hot cup of coffee. Hey just kidding. However I am serious about their exceptional service and extensive menu. I had a bowl of delicious chilli.

Loved this place! I went here for the first time today. Great staff. Friendly and charismatic. Its a small mom and pop place. The old school diner feel was magnetic. Hands down, the best Reuben I've had in years!

Love Daddypops! A hidden gem! It was the best kept secret. People from all over the world come to visit. Guy Fieri from DDD filmed a segment years ago and Bob Kelly from Kelly Drives filmed a few weeks ago. Danielle is a staple at the diner. Her personality and service is warm and inviting. The Daddypops Duo is my go to!. You get 2 of everything. A must try. I started going to Daddypops when the new owners bought the diner, what a major upgrade. The food to the service to the warm atmosphere is fantastic.

I’ve been coming to Daddypops Diner for almost 10 years, and somehow it gets better every time. The food is always great, the staff is friendly, and the loyal regulars make every visit feel like home—there’s always good conversation. They even helped my dog Frank win his costume contest! I can’t recommend Daddypops enough.

Daddypops is a cute little spot that has become the go to spot for me and my cousin. We love coming here for breakfast/brunch. It has a retro vibe and reminds me of diners from when I was a kid. The staff is very friendly, quick to greet you and excellent with coffee refills, which is extremely important and appreciated. One of the last times I was there I got the daddy pop breakfast duo. My cousin got breakfast with french toast and we each wanted to try the pancakes and French toast and shared them. We also shared breakfast potatoes and they came out perfect and crispy. Definitely make sure to check out daddypops. FYI- there is street parking (make sure to bring quarters) or park on a nearby side street.

This is a great breakfast spot but you have to time your visit to avoid the chaos. The staff here does handle the chaos with aplomb, but personally I am not a fan of super popular places that are full of patrons and have a long wait. That said, I did stick it out so I could try this place since I was in the area and made the trip to see it. I ordered the Split Decision (French Toast and pancakes), home fries, and scrapple. It was a huge breakfast of course, and I took about one quarter of it home with me. Everything was excellent and high quality. I can not say enough good things about the food. The scrapple was actually tender inside and not at all oily/greasy like at most places. The pancakes were huge and full of flavor. The hash browns I can legitimately describe as 'life-changing' and I don't say that lightly. They too, were not greasy or heavy. The servers seemed super overworked to me. There were only three of them for the whole restaurant. Yet I saw them hustling hard, running around, taking orders and delivering food super quickly. My waitress was Nicole and she had a smile on her face the whole time. Up on her feet and running around all morning, I don't know how she did it. Shout out to her (if management is reading this, get her a raise asap!) Pro tips: -They do charge more for credit cards, so bring cash if you want to save 4% -They have a few outdoor tables. Even though it was a nice day when I was there, I believe only one table was in use. Perhaps they don't get service when the restaurant is super busy.

Classic winter brunch today at Daddypops Not for the calorie counters but an insane indulgence in old school favorites made w love! Servers are knowledgeable and kind food is beyond exceptional and it has been a personal favorite of mine for over 15 years Come with an empty stomach and be prepared to travel back in time with nostalgia of simpler times and outstanding fresh home cooking! Previously featured on Diners DriveIn's And Dives on The Food Network!! Enjoy

Hockey player approved came between showcase games to refuel. super friendly staff, accommodated our group close to closing time. So good we're ready to move here from Maryland! We'll be back for sure any time we're in the area. Thank you ladies for being awesome!!

Classic diner vibes, unforgettable food! Daddypops is an absolute gem. Walking in feels like stepping into a timeless diner--warm, welcoming, and full of character. I ordered the steak and eggs, stuffed French toast, and an iced coffee--and every bite was on point. The steak was juicy and cooked just right, the eggs were perfect, and that stuffed French toast? Out of this world. Sweet, rich, and comforting. The iced coffee was fresh and hit the spot. Service was friendly and fast, and you can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. This place isn't just about great food--it's about the full experience. Highly recommend Daddypops if you're craving a hearty breakfast in a place that feels like home.

Researched as part of my annual summer food tour. Wanted to try scrapple and semi close to the history around Washington's crossing and Trenton. Diner style. Server was very polite. Food came out pretty quick. Ordered the brioche French toast which came with 2 eggs and a meat (chose scrapple). French toast was soft and delicious. Eggs were fine. Scrapple had a moderately neutral cornbread flavor with a salty note to brighten up its dense body. Glad I tried it and nice pretty straight forward diner stop!

Not our first time here, but disappointed on this visit. There was no heat and it was pretty cold sitting in there this morning. The veggie omelet was good and my husband's cheeseburger omelet was also tasty. They were both a nice size and fresh. The bill ended up being $50 for two omelets. I think that's a bit much for breakfast. I don't think we'll be returning.

Stopped by here for breakfast , there was one booth open that the waitress told me i could sit at , so i went to use the bathroom first and when i came out to sit there she had already sat a couple there no big deal so they just finished cleaning another table off and when I sat there, she came over and told me I couldn't sit there because that table is reserved for more than one person, but I could sit at bar if I wanted to I told her I would rather sit at the table. She said you can't you have to move I said never mind. I will go to McDonald's and eat so this place is on my never stop at list.

This is a great little diner. The service was fantastic but I didn't like that they were using very smelling cleaning products in the middle of lunch service to clean bathrooms. Additionally there was way too much "decor" everywhere that took away from the classic diner feel. We had in our party the French toast, a Turkey Ruben and an egg salad sandwich. All very tasty and a great value for the price!

Service was excellent and friendly, especially the hostess. Food was tasty. Would definitely go back.

This place is amazing! From the food to the service, i have absolutely no complaints. Not to mention the cool aesthetic this place has. The ambiance is great. Locals and regulars fill the place up with such amazing energy and the food is always amazing.

Stopped here this morning on a whim, had not been in many years. Ambience was nice, service was friendly, food was fine. But...for one egg with cheese, scrapple, toast and coffee, they charged me $24! That is ridiculous. Feel like new owners are milking the name the previous owners built up over years. Not worth it, won't be back.

Came here and had their chicken tenders. Absolutely phenomenal. The honey mustard that they gave me was very succulent and the steak fries were wonderful to say the least. It used to be cash only, but as of recently they started accepting electronic payments. They have a classic jukebox which is something I really love; you can play 3 songs on it with one quarter. Sam and Claudia are two wonderful waitresses; Sam really likes trains and when I showed her my YouTube channel, she subscribed (at the time I went, the place was pretty much empty) and she and Claudia were in the process of putting up decorations for Halloween. If you like diners that scream 1950s, this is your place.

Just terrible. No greeting. No water. No coffee. No eye contact. No explanation. Nothing. Saturday morning at 7:35. The restaurant was not full. Three servers on duty - all aggressively ignored us as they chatted up their regulars while we sat waiting in plain view in a front booth. After fully 15 mins without a single acknowledgment, we left. This place used to be legendary, but unless you are a regular, I would encourage you go elsewhere for breakfast. Guaranteed we won't be back.

Wonderful breakfast. Fantastic service, great atmosphere, delicious food. Stuffed French toast was awesome. Beyond accommodating. Fabulous hands down! Will definitely be back often! A hidden gem!!!

Nice small place, friendly service, decor is eclectic. Food was made well but the price of the scrapple fries were grossly over priced. I have never paid $25. not including tip even in the most fancy restaurant for breakfast

I have no problem giving Daddypops 4 Stars. Most diners are 2 to 3 stars, but Daddypops serves up the same menu items with one huge difference, all fresh ingredients. Parking and wait time are the only drawbacks, but the experience is worth it.

Who's your Daddy???!!! LOL Daddypops for the win! How have I missed this perfectly basic (in the best way) diner for this long? Regular diner, regular food, regular coffee, actually perfect! Let's go over the perks: 1. Toast was buttered and butter was melted ( it's a pet peeve of mine when it's not) 2. Eggs executed properly 3. Potatoes were NOT dry (thank god!; pet peeve number 2) 4. Service and wait time were fast 5. Wasn't rushed to leave. I mean.... I want to finish my coffee people! 6. Best part: the group of regulars that kinda hung out, joking with the waitresses ( very Grumpy Old Men vibes, if you've seen the movie). Is Daddypops Cheers but for breakfast lovers? I want everyone to know my name Cons: Parking.... Look it's now Philly, it's just not great that's all. Bottom line, if that's the only con, I'll be going back, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

Everything was delicious! What a cool place and they open at 5:30. Service is beyond top level! Shout out to Danielle and Claudia

Great food and service was decent for a mid-day weekday brunch. Pricey for a diner but good food portions and tasty . Time was average for food..slower than a typical diner.

Service was terrible, the bus boy payed more attention to us than the waitress. The food was nothing special.

This place is an amazing diner, has amazing food, but absolutely no air flow whatsoever. Went during a heat wave and stuck to the vinyl seats through the whole meal. Coffee was hot, breakfast had every imaginable PA specialty including kielbasa, pork roll, and scrapple available. The home fries were good, and the poaching was spot on. No unhappy breakfast eaters here.

From the moment we drove up to Daddypops, we knew we were in for a treat. The vintage diner was decked out for the holidays and filled with an old school spirit. Staff were bustling and took a few minutes to get to us. That gave us time to look around and study the classic and simple menu. My partner had 2 eggs over-easy, flapjacks, bacon, and home fries. He reported the eggs and potatoes were great. The bacon was thick, which many like. The pancakes were also thick and not fluffy. (He's quick to point out everything tasted great, just personal preferences for texture.) I opted for brioche French toast, a fruit bowl, and special-order home fries with onions, mushrooms, and broccoli. Everything was fantastic! Frequent coffee refills and visits by staff, including the owner, to ensure we had what we needed. Great value for the price. We look forward to returning soon!

This is an updated review. What a difference a visit can make. Wow! Everyone was very friendly and the service was excellent. My wife and I went for breakfast. There were many omelet specials. I had the standard breakfast eggs over easy, potatoes, sausage and rye bread. All was very good. The coffee was good. My wife had poached eggs on toast. We were not disappointed with anything. There is a small parking lot but mostly off street parking. The restaurant is an old nostalgic restaurant. Small but cozy. We will go back. Recommend.

Good diner food, reasonably priced. Daddypops is a Hatboro institution and very popular. Seating is extremely limited, so expect a wait. That said, it's well worth it. Service is attentive without being pushy and food is tasty.

My wife and I went to DaddyPops for breakfast. I reviewed DaddyPops on my last visit and I did not give them a good review. This will be a very good review. The service was excellent. The waitress was great. The food was hot and fresh not like the last time I was there. My wife had Eggs Benedict and I had the traditional breakfast, eggs over easy, sausage, potatoes and coffee. The coffee was very good with plenty of refills. Prices are competitive. Parking is limited. Plenty of spots in front and across the street in front DaddyPops on York Road. I know it's getting colder out but they have an array of neat outside seating. There are two barber chairs at each end of the counter to sit in if you choose. This is a real neat older diner that been in Hatboro since I was a kid and that's a long time. Try it out I do not think you will be disappointed.

First time to Daddypops! Old school diner, small but the food and the service is outstanding. great breakfast menu! We will be visiting again.

I first went to Daddypops in 1992. Through the years, I would have breakfast there; never lunch. The original owners sold the establishment a couple of years ago. I have been there a few times since the new ownership. One of the owners is omnipresent and always says hi. I enjoy the atmosphere. My daughter and I now have coffee mugs there. They house the mugs there, which is nice, so you can use them when you go back. On to the rest. The wait to get your food has been a good while. Today, our server was very nice and attentive, but the food took a while to come out. My daughter's food was less than tepid. We told our waitress, and she took it back to heat it up. The bacon was ordered crisp and came out crisp, but was almost cold. After being reheated, it was still cold. My daughter said that the bacon's taste was okay, but the texture was close to tree bark. We won't be back for a while. The servers are nice, but it takes too long for the food to come out. We might try lunch at some point.

Went there once with a customer of mine ordered scrapple and eggs the scrapple was green and smelled bad I sent it back just ate eggs never went back there again I blame owners for hiring people who just should not be in the food business

Came for breakfast on a Friday morning. No one greeted us, even as a waitress blatantly ignored us and walked by without making eye contact. Then she went behind the bar to spark up a conversation with another customer, who even looked at us and pointed to us to note to her we were waiting. She then rudely yelled that we could seat ourselves. We sat and flagged our waitress down to order (funny bc the place is small so having to flag down our waitress was quite annoying and unnecessary). Food was actually good- French toast was excellent. Except I ordered a side of fruit for my toddler. The waitress forgot about it so I flagged her down. She went in the kitchen to get it and served my toddler wrinkled and shriveled blueberries. At that point if I was her I would've just said the fruit isn't good and not served it. Pic attached. That's the kind of "service" you get here. Again we had to flag the waitress down- to get our check. Surprisingly they charged for the fruit lmao. I showed her the blueberries and she took them off the check. She asked me what was wrong with them- as if you couldn't tell by looking at them hahaha. The only positive is she came and refilled our coffees (but the coffee was gross). Food isn't bad. Ambiance gives off old school diner vibes. Would maybe come back if the service was acceptable but clearly the staff is as run down as the place. If we're in the area again I'll opt for McDonalds breakfast.

We were delighted to be met by a poster of Guy Fieri (a restaurant reviewer of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives fame) and a welcome by a waitress leading us to a table next to an old timey cigarette machine. Like a flash, she was back presenting us with two cups of hot coffee. I loved hearing tunes from the 60s and being surrounded by momentos from that era. The menu included many delicious breakfast choices--I had read that the home fries with onions were sensational and that, with a veggie omelette and sour dough toast, suited me to a 't." The waitresses were on their toes, knew many of the customers by name, and made sure our coffee cups were always full. I smiled throughout my breakfast and look forward to returning to this old fashioned diner bursting with fun, fantastic service, and fabulous food.

Like stepping back 65 years. The food was fabulous! Everybody was very happy. The ambiance was so much fun! The staff was warm and friendly. We'll definitely go back.

SOLID breakfast place. Service is off the charts. We arrived at 1:00pm and I still got 3 refills on very good coffee.... (Yes, not my finest moment, but had an early morning trial and had no coffee prior to District Court) Eggs: 5/5 Hash browns:5/5 Toast:5/5 French onion soup: 5/5.......steak for the 'Steak and Eggs' 1/5. Scrapple....for me? 1/5. But I am not a scrapple fan. Overall?? We would absolutely be be back!

Guy Fieri diners drive ins and dives lured us here and I doubt I would return. Daddy pops is indeed an episode worthy establishment, but their staff does not seem to care about anyone other than the regulars. Located in the heart of Hatboro the small diner sits on the corner of N York Rd and Summit Ave. parking is quite limited but street parking is available. When I tell you Daddy pops is small, I am seriously talking small. Possibly 10/12 tables at most with bar seating as well. Once the regulars were fully tended to a whirlwind of a blur swooped by and menus were on the table and the server was back into the kitchen before we could even say good morning. When we finally got to order and when it eventually hit our table we really felt ready to leave. We ate paid and left with mutual agreement there are far many other places to visit for breakfast.

If you sit at the counter you get better service from what I could see. If you say something took a long time you get yelled at.

Great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Staff is super friendly, I really enjoyed my Cheesesteak! Perfect diner style cheesesteak and great soups, thanks again!

Dadsypop's has been a staple in Hatboro since 1987. They serve good, quality breakfast and lunch, with great portions at a great price. They recently had a turnover in ownership and the new owners welcome you as if you're guests in their home. The decor has not changed, with its old school diner look that the regulars love. Service is great and although the place is small, they are quick and efficient, while never felling rushed.

I hate to give a low review because the waitresses and staff were very nice and friendly but the cleanliness and food were just not up to par. I saw an Instagram post that spoke very highly of this place so I decided to check it out and was very disappointed starting as soon as I sat down and there were ants crawling all over the booth and table , the food also was not very good especially for the prices.

This is an oldies but goodie! The burgers are fresh and home-fries just like making them at home. It's a small location but consistent with their food and prices are reasonable. This location was actually featured on Dinners, Drive-Ins & Dives, if you watch the food channel. Guy raved over it and rightly so, it's one of my favorite places that contributed to my weight gain; that's why I stopped going.

This place is a gem! You have to stop if passing through Hatboro. I had the chipped beef on toast with crispy home fries...did not disappoint! The coffee was the best diner coffee I have ever had!The waitress was super sweet and the service does make you feel relaxed...the general feel is a typical old style diner!

Bring cash!! There is an ATM in the entry, in case you forget. This classic diner fills up on the weekend, we had to wait about 10-15 for a table for 4. There's a bartop as well as a bunch of tables. Once we were seated, we got cups of coffee right away and placed our orders. The service was friendly and prompt. This place is an incredible value. For less than $8, I got two massive flapjacks, two eggs, two slices of bacon and two sausages. I couldn't finish all of it but I gave it my best try! Bottom line: great greasy spoon diner.

I've been here a few times, and the wait is worth it. The food is fresh and plentiful. You can add maple syrup instead of using Mrs. Butterworth's, but there is an up-charge.

Came here for breakfast one weekend morning with my date. I wanted to try this diner ever since my sister had mentioned she had gone with her bf and they really loved the food. Plus I saw the Yelp reviews that all said this place was the place to try. Ended up going in the afternoon and it wasn't too bad as far as crowds. There were a few tables open. It was a bit confusing as to whether you had to seat yourself or not, so me and my date just stood at the door looking goofy as hell- waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Once the waitress was free, she told us to sit down at the only open booth they had. Once seated, we had a chance to look over the menu and I decided on the french toast and ordered blueberries to go with them. I thought maybe the blueberries would be on top, but it came with a side of hot blueberries. My date ended up getting the eggs with scrapple, the scrapple was huge! and looked very tasty. Although the food was great and the service was friendly and service with a smile, I didn't like the fact that they didn't take debit/credit cards. It was a inconvenience for me, even though they had an ATM outside in the waiting area of the restaurant. To get money out, I was charged about 3 dollars plus whatever my bank was going to charge me,just to pay for my $24 dollar check. They need to update this and get with the times.

We only had heard good things about this place. I guess we came at a bad time. It was around noon. Place was popping. We patiently waited to be sat. After being seated they let us know they're waiting on silverware, so I had to stir the cream and sugar for my coffee with my finger. Asked for them to top my coffee off a few times, because the first cup poured was cold and I waited a good 20 minutes before they actually did. The cheesesteak wrap was nothing special, I've had better other places. The meat tasted like it was reheated or it was just not good quality. The fries were whatever. My husband's broccoli and sausage omelette was on par. He never got his toast. Definitely should've gotten breakfast instead of a sandwich. The French onion soup was delicious. When we asked for the check, another 10-15 minutes went by. So we just walked up to the front to get it and pay. I know it was busy and the wait staff were doing their best to accommodate, but it seemed like other things were happening that prevented them from serving all their guests timely. The last thing I noticed was they charge a few extra cents to use your credit card, which I think is messed up especially if you made a decent purchase. Also they have a few signs hanging up that encourage "cash tips only". Well, I know you have to pay taxes on your tips regardless if it's received via cash or credit so I felt very indifferent about it. Kind of weird.

I used to like it better. My last experience wasn't the best. Poached eggs were ugly, never got my cranberry sauce, host-dude... c'mon, guy. I still love the retro vibe and the coffee cup display, the menu has good options. I'll give it another shot, maybe it was an off-hours fluke. Server was very nice, so that's cool.

This morning was our first time at this fun, friendly and bustling diner. Based on the scrumptious food, extraordinarily welcoming staff and happy atmosphere, this will not be our last visit. Give yourself a treat and stop in!

Brunch is always a great treat My wife loves eggs Benedict and thinks theirs are the best The thick cut bacon is amazing Love the pancakes ​and omelets

This is a local gem for breakfast. Any type of breakfast you want they have. The food is very good. Service is great. It's rather a small diner so there is usually a wait to get in but it's well worth it. Very nostalgic 50's diner. And who gave their approval from Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives? Your right! Guy Ferretti. His signed photo is on their wall. Give it a try!

My boyfriend has been trying to get me to come to the place for months, and I was not disappointed. DaddyPops's is the TINEST diner I've ever been in, with twenty booths squished into an old converted train car. What they lack in space they make up for in flavor and quirkiness. The chairs at the bar are an assortment of barber chairs and other cools sits, and the wall behind the counter is lined with different coffee mugs from regulars. We didn't wait too too long when we got there, but I can image the line could get out the door super quick (especially when old ladies like the ones we encountered while we were there who like to take up an entire 4 person table to themselves instead of sitting at the bar or waiting for a two top, like are you kidding me? How inconsiderate, but I digress) We got the "3 Flapjacks with two eggs and Scrapple" meal for, get this $8.25! Everything on the menu was scary cheap, so cheap that I honestly wondered about how good any of it was going to taste. The Pancakes tasted like they were made with the essence of fall (that good ole cinnamon) and were so fluffy they were basically pillows. Their homemade scrapple was great too. According to Triple D (with Guy Fieri) this joint goes through approximately 200 lbs of potatoes for their home fries and I can see why. Any place that actually asks you if you want them with or without onions, is golden in my book (I personally hate onions, and it's always nice not to be a pain to ask for them without).
