Have always wanted to give this place a try and now Im certain I wont be back. Stopped in for breakfast last Sunday, it was busy (as most diners are on a Sunday after church), man at hostess station was less than friendly when we put our name in for 2. We waited, and waited, and waited. I inquired as to where we were on the list and was told rather rudely by someone I presume to be his wife that we were called and obviously didnt hear (they dont use a PA system, they never ventured from the station and we were literally waiting 3 ft. from the podium). We were finally seated and were served by the bartender who disappeared immediately after taking our order. Our food took FOREVER!!! (pancakes and a burger). I asked the same woman at the podium if she could check on our food and if the kitchen was running slow to which I was told (again rather rudely) that "they have a whole other dining room in the back and they are very busy". When our food finally came out, my pancakes were raw and my sons burger was burned. They clearly dont care to have repeat business and they wont...from us.

Went there for the first time with my sister and nephews. My sister had been there before but not since the renovation. After we were seated, we waited for about 20 minutes for a server to at least take our drink order. I went to the hostess and let her know no one had come over. She apologized and I assumed went to let someone know. Still no one had come. My sister and I decided we had waited long enough, so we got up to leave. When we approached the front area of the restaurant, we spoke to what appeared to be a manager and explained what happened. Rather than apologize, she simply asked what section we were seated at. Working in customer service most of my life, the "manager" missed a lot of opportunities for service recovery. I guess business is good enough, so no extra effort needed to be made. Nevertheless, I will NEVER set foot in there and will definitely share this with EVERYONE I know and well see if business will still be "good enough".

Went there for the first time since the diner was revamped. We.heard some bad reviews but we wanted to check it our for ourselves. Went there for breakfast, got served our food, and we had to tell the server to bring us utensils. Sat there for five minutes waiting for utensils while our food was getting cold. Server brought utensils and ONE napkin for TWO people. Breakfast was nothing to write home about, food was bland, and my glass of skim milk was sour. Went to the checkout to pay the bill, and the girl asked us how our food was, and I told her I would NOT be coming back and told her all of the above. As we were exiting the lobby, she proceeded to yell to us very sarcastically, "Have a good day." Because I was so angry, I waited until I got home to call and speak with the manager. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else to eat.

I went here expecting diner food and got much higher quality food than I was expecting. There are a lot of good Pennsylvania foods on the menu and everything Ive ordered there tasted great. The price is fair for what you get, the only thing I could say negatively about the place was it took longer than a typical diner to receive my food after ordering it. My disappointment about the service time was completely erased when I realized why it was taking so long. Great food can seldom be cooked very quickly.

I was a little disappointed when we sat for a about 10-15 before someone came to our table to get our drinks. I have been coming to the diner from not to long after they first opened. Tom was always helpful with door prize donations for the car show we had in the summer it was a charity event for Camelot House for mentally challenged and fiscally disabled. Tom was always there for us. Our car club was The Classy Cruisers of Bethlehem Pa. I hope Tom hears or sees this review.

Went for breakfast. Food was nothing special. Service was so so. On a good point Everyone seemed nice. I ordered 2 eggs, homefries, and bacon with a hot tea. My bill was almost 12 dollars ( before the tip). I dont dont mind paying extra if the food is good and the portions a proportionate to the price but that was ridiculous. Definitely will never go again. Save your money. It is not worth the trip.

Recently renovated and expanded. The food is much better than I remember from my visits from years ago. Breakfasts were good, but dinner was very good. Crab cakes with real crab, their own make soups all of which were delicious, a vast improvement. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Very much a pleasant surprise!

When I a in Breingsville and hungry I go here. Food is very good, and diner is very clean. They are expanding the diner area currently and should have more seating soon. Only problem is you cannot get to the diner from 222 south bound, and need to do a u-turn farther up or turn down a side stream to get to the parking lot.

I went here for breakfast on fathers day 2017. I live out of town and dont get to see my family very often. The MANAGER refused to allow our party of 8 to all sit together, even though tables that allegedly were reserved and that could accommodate all of us were vacant the entire time we dined in the restaurant. Sad.

Much improved since a recent top-to-bottom renovation (spring 2016). Now in addition to a good place to get breakfast, they have added a bar area with TVs to watch sporting events as well as a private dining area. The management is very involved in the operations. When you come here expect to be personally greeted.

Good food and friendly service. Best fresh salad of any diner in the area. Although I do wish they had more items on the menu. The selection is somewhat limited in comparison to similar family restaurants/diners. But I definitely recommend. They have a great kids menu. Its my six year-olds favorite restaurant!

Love this restaurant. We travel out of our way to this place every once in a while. Excellent quality of food, the staff is pleasant, and the aesthetic is inviting. Definitely getting your bang for your buck. In my opinion, the "gold-standard" in diners for this particular area.

Stopped by for lunch while in the area as I frequently hear Becca and Malone say how great the wings are! And they were! Also enjoyed the pesto chicken sandwich and a large piece of Grace Cake. A chocolate lovers dream! When back in the area, we will visit again.

Stopped in for dinner. Warm and inviting atmosphere. I got French onion soup and it was the best I ever had. Also had meatloaf. It was a little dry but with gravy it was fine. The flavor was good. Overall a great meal for the price and we will definitely be back.
