User Reviews

All the dishes we had were outstanding! The server was attentive as well. It's a retro diner as advertised and I thought it was well done and cozy. I would have taken a few pictures inside but it was a little too intrusive with all the patrons.

Got the Banana Crunch French Toast, food and service was excellent. There was a debate among the locals on what was better The Diner or The Wagner across the street, they’re both great but when I’m back out here the diner is my favorite!

Great food, and super friendly staff. Well worth the stop. The only downside is that this place is SMALL. A lot of side stepping and squeezing through to get to our table and the restroom. Don't let it turn you off, though. Great diner.

Food was top-notch, service was very, very good. Those that work here really care about your meal being the best. My wife ordered the Sausage Gravy Biscuits. I ordered the Grandpa Don. We shared the half order of the Sausage Gravy Biscuits. We were both pleasantly full when we were finished with our breakfast. Kudos to breakfast.

The food here is so good! We stopped by on our way out of the area after camping. There were 3 of us and we each ordered something different- everything was delicious. The food is worth the wait! They have vegan/vegetarian options as well.

One of the best diners I've ever been to. The atmosphere is as classic as it gets, the staff is attentive and friendly beyond compare and the food is to die for. An easy recommend for anyone in the area!

A wonderful bit of old fashioned Americana right smack in the middle of the computer age! It was Sunday morning, we went in, they took my cell number and texted me when we could be served. We waited about 20 minutes. We sat at the end of the counter where all the cooking action takes place. You use your phone camera to snap the QR code and your menu appears on your phone! Pancakes, buckwheats, waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, hot coffee and decaf too! Lunch items, French onion soup. You want it, they got it in a 1925 dining car. It's a meal and a show all at once. Great buckwheat pancakes. If I lived in Penn Yan, I'd eat there every weekend! Great food and lots of nostalgia and just plain FUN!

Stopped in for breakfast while passing through town, and this small diner was absolutely delightful. The kind of charm, quality of food and personal service that you can only get in a small town and in a privately owned business. I definitely will return the next time I’m in Penn Yan.
