We randomly stopped in since we were in the area. The staff was very nice and our service was good. The food was delicious. Our pancakes were probably the best I have ever had. We also had breakfast basics and sweet potato fries....also very good. It can be more expensive since our chocolate chip pancakes were an add-on, along with my fries. We also had a chocolate cream cake and canolli. Very good. Definitely stop in for a bite.

Excellent! I went here just as an alternative because my favorite restaurant was closed and had a good experience! Very nicely done inside and outside! Exceptionally clean and well organized! A fantastic desert case display! The food and the service was excellent! A nice quiet environment where you can enjoy your meal and still hear yourself talking with your guest! Very friendly service! I will definitely be going back to this location again!

Stopped coming for a while. Stopped in today for some breakfast for lunch. I was very impressed. Super fast and friendly service which is usual but the food for some reason tasted 1000 times better. They also had a new menu which is also 1000 times better. Got the fresh squeezed orange juice and it was so amazing. The food was worth it. We’ll be back.

Update: stopped in again and had the Reese's peanut butter french toast. Very sweet but as always, yummy! Never had a bad experience. We have eaten here about 20 times over the past few years. It is out of the way from where we live but sometime just want a good quality breakfast so we travel past 8-10 breakfast restaurants to get here. The people are so nice. The portions are good. The prices are fair. And the food is so good. It doesn’t taste like dirty grill, It’s not drenched in grease. It’s really really good.

A nice diner with good food and good service. Great fluffy tasty pancakes, but served with artificial high-fructose “syrup”. Real maple syrup would be nice, without all the artificial stuff in it. We’ve been several times. At breakfast it can be pretty busy, but we’ve never had bad service. Prices are more expensive than other old school diners.

The Borderline was originally a Perkins but has been recast as a family run restaurant that offers up generous portions of home-style meals at a great price. One of my favorites places to go for breakfast in the Lehigh Valley. My go-to is the Greek Omelet (add tomatoes), home fries, and rye toast. They have added a group of new items to the menu such as the Grecian Quesadilla – Gyro meat, feta, tomato, and eggs inside a pressed pita. They offer a variety of pancakes- chocolate chip, blueberry, banana walnut – that are hot off the grill and delicious. There is a bakery case that has pies, cakes, and cookies to eat in the restaurant or to go. They have a spacious dining room and a small counter for seating. Place is usually very busy on Sunday mornings. Fast and friendly service from the wait staff and hosts.
