Best breakfast! I usually just have eggs, bacon, toast and home fries. Seems simple enough but The Diner has the best flavor. I rather have just simple bacon and eggs there than anywhere else.

The food was absolutely amazing, you get ALOT of food for the extremely reasonable prices, the staff, both behind the scenes, and the beauty of the faces that make the place,(the waitresses) were polite, courteous and very welcoming! The fact that you can get breakfast or lunch from the time they open until they close is awesome,if you like a little spice, they have the best buffalo chicken wrap Ive EVER had!!! I will deffinalty be making the trip from Mansfield, PA to the diner ALOT more often, and bringing people with me each time I visit!!

Best food around! Fast, and consistent. Wait staff is quick and friendly. The cooks also take the time to talk to patrons and even the owner himself (also a cook) greets you face to face! Awesome experience and atmosphere eating in an old time rail car. More places like this are needed in the world of processed fast food and corporate American chain restaurants.

Breakfast was great! I ordered the breakfast bowl and it was huge! I am a large fella and it took all I had to finish it! The owner took the time to talk to us and made us feel like home! Definitely can't wait to go back!

A train carriage converted into a Cafe in a town called Horsehead. I dropped in for brunch on my drive between NYC and Buffalo. The carriage contains a lot of original features, sliding carriage doors, small restroom, and wooden booths. The menu is good American breakfasts cooked fast and well. I sat at the bar and saw a stream of takeout happening. They are popular on a Sunday morning! They take credit cards and welcome strangers.

We were looking for an early breakfast and stumbled on this historic diner. The food was delicious, portions large, service outstanding and the atmosphere was fun and lively between the staff and locals. What a rare treat.

Food was delicious! Service was friendly and quick. Space is limited since it’s a small diner, but it’s worth the slight wait if there is one.

Boy did we luck out in the middle of a 6 Hour drive to stop at The Diner! Wonderful atmosphere aside (it’s not often you find a sweet old school diner like this anymore), our food was fantastic. I had the Cuban sandwich, made with roast pork ham and pickles on sourdough, and kicked in a little extra to get the tater tots. Excellent. Staff was lovely and friendly and it made me wish that I lived a lot closer.

Stopped in after Hockey with my son and family. Its about 10min from downtown Elmira. Amazing food, all made from scratch in front of us on the griddle. Though it is a small diner, wait! It's worth it. Staff and food were top notch. I wish I had prepared better, we would have featured this on our YT Channel.

Outstanding, my go to spot for breakfast, every chance I get! After leaving NY in 85 to join the Army, and moving around for the past 38 years, I decided to retire last October and moved back to Horseheads. Promising myself to spend my money only on local restaurants, I picked the Diner. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and now I have a favorite place to eat it. Already have planned to start my 100th birthday celebration there. Of course not there yet. Great job Nick and your Diner family! You give me something to look forward to during my retirement.

Wow! Where to start?! This is THE quintessential Anericana diner, and one that affords a bounty of both uncompromising quality and unapologetic antiquated ambience. We were treated extremely graciously by our waitress, and food was served piping hot and expediently. The meal selection caters to the faithful diner standby meal(s) selection, with emphasis on breakfast and lunch (served anytime between 5 am-2 pm). The customers were friendly and the diner had an incredibly wholesome sensibility. It stands as a gorgeous and delicious relic of the halcyon years when once upon a time, diners were ubiquitously dotting the American landscape, circa 1950’s. I want to thank The Diner for their personable attentiveness and service, alongside outstanding food! A truly great visit and highly recommended!

This was a quintessential diner with wonderful service, took a some bit of time as they were packed. But we had an incredible medium rare hamburger (frequently overdone) and a high stacked BLT that was just wonderful. The homemade fried chips were excellent - order them over the fries that were good but not excellent.

Man this place is awesome. Great food and came out fast. They cook everything right in front of you. Very clean. Everyone who is cooking wears gloves. Prices were great.
