Temple Family Restaurant

Great diner. Have been going there for years. Monday - Friday, Eggs,hashbrowns and coffee $1.99 can't beat it. It's the kind of diner where everyone knows eachother.
The dinner is pretty good too. There are 3 other diners within a 3 mile radius but this is the best.

The Temple Family Restaurant is one of those Berks County establishments that has been around for a while. In restaurant lingo I suppose the word "family" means diner. And that's pretty much what you get. Diner food, but good solid diner food. It's nice a place to go for breakfast or maybe for lunch or dinner if you you're not in the mood for something fancy.

This is the kind of diner where the waiters/waitresses know the locals' names. The patrons were mostly from the older crowd. The cheddar cheese omelet I ordered came out soft, not greasy at all, and just the right amount of cheddar cheese so it wasn't overflowing in cheese. The shredded potato side wasn't dry at all and the toast came buttered automatically (so if you don't want butter, speak up). The place was very clean, including the bathroom, and the prices were very reasonable (I may find most of these "southern" food joints cheap because I'm a New Yorker, where everything is more expensive. Overall, if you're coming through town and are hungry, this is a great option for breakfast food.
