Borderline - Bethlehem

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.

Stopped in a few weeks ago for breakfast and was promptly seated and served two scrambled eggs, crispy home fries, four savory sausage links, an English muffin and rye toast. If you're in for dinner, I recommend their club sandwich. Very good paired with their golden fries. Great spot for any meal no matter what time of day.

Mother's Day family gathering. Management very accommodating to group of 12. Food hot and tasty. Wide variety on the menu, well priced.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. I ordered breakfast and it was decent, neither great nor poor. I noticed other dishes being served and they looked appetizing. I would consider returning in the future.

My friend and I were dining at the restaurant and had a pleasant waitress. When she brought the check, we informed her that we would be staying a little longer to catch up. My friend had her newborn with her and was feeding him. Suddenly, an older waitress with grey hair approached our table and rudely told us to leave. Feeling uncomfortable, we began to pack up our things. When we went to pay, we asked to speak to the manager. A young man in sweatpants claimed to be the manager, but we doubted it. He showed no concern for the situation and had a bad attitude. He then brought the waitress who had asked us to leave, and she was smiling and laughing as if nothing had happened. The whole experience was unprofessional, and neither I nor my friends or family will ever return to that restaurant again.
