I stop by for some really delicious comfort food a couple of times a month. They even have a frequent diner program to earn discounts. Here is a hearty pork and sauerkraut dinner. I also love their pastrami reubens and their ham salad sandwiches. Breakfasts are also very good. They have tasty shoe fly pie and fantastic rice pudding. Friendly and courteous staff read more

On the way to Stroudsburg today, we decided to stop for soup and sandwich. The Italian wedding soup with small cuts of beef instead of the usual sausage, $4.25 a bowl, was hot and the fried fish sandwich on hamburger bun, lettuce, tomato and onion for $6.50 filled my endless craving for something fishy. The tuna salad on a hard roll was great, $5. Really nice server, fast and on pointe. read more

Stopped in to Beseckers today to continue my tour of "the best omelet in the Poconos". This was bittersweet for me right out of the gate because I used to come here often with my father before he passed away. I haven't been here in over 15 years...it was my first time in without him. My server was very friendly and good at her job. The place honestly looked exactly as I remember it looking a decade and a half ago. I ordered a western omelet with cheese, home fries, and rye toast. Trying to keep my order nearly the same everywhere I go so I can rate accurately. There were onions available for the home fries so I opted in for those. I love me some onions. The Omelet was cooked well, probably the best I've had so far as far as the cook on the eggs goes. Very light spots of brown here and there but pretty much spot on. The ham dice was a bit larger than ideal so some bites were a bit tough, like large pieces of ham can be. Otherwise this was excellent. The home fries were cooked well and the onion flavor was awesome. The toast was toast. The coffee was good, not great. This cost a little more than other spots but home fries were an add on, and the onion was also an add on. Typically these spots have home fries come automatically with the omelet so I was surprised by that, but perhaps because the clientele is primarily senior citizens I guess maybe they don't eat as much and it made more sense this way. If that was the case though, the omelet could have been another couple dollars less. All in all it was a solid breakfast and I'm happy I came.

Well well well. Been coming to Beseckers for a long time and every time I step in here the atmosphere is what you expect when you here the word diner. Service has always been super friendly. To be honest, I only ever get the corn beef hash and eggs which they ran out of! Couldn't believe it haha. This stuffed French Toast was - not my first or second choice but we'll give the extra star for Nostalgia. :-) I'll be back again and again. read more

Besecker's Diner - Cream cheese stuffed french toast (half order). - Diners Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Food is good, but they run out of the specials and soup, all the time. Other than that, everything else is great there.

I only ate here once, but I was very satisfied. It was a clean and comfortable place to eat. The waitress was friendly. The service might have been a tiny bit slow. But the food was quite good. And I was quite surprised by how inexpensive the food turned out to be. read more

Gross food ..... reminded me of a high school cafeteria. I couldn't even finish eating it.

My first time here and looking forward to coming back. I ordered a chocolate milk, big meat omelete with swiss cheese, side of home fries and a side of scrapple. Everything was cooked perfect, delicious, filled me up, fair prices and the service was great too! read more

I have never had any issues with the service or the food. My major gripe is that they close way too early. 7PM weekdays and 2PM on Sunday is way too early to close go a dining establishmen. read more

I have loved coming here for food and also grabbing some take out food also. Everything has always been so good. The employees here are always welcoming and so nice. It's a great place to enjoy eating and having fun with friends or loved ones. Prices are good and portions are great. read more

An old style diner in the Poconos where the locals flock to. If this is your cup of tea, you'll love it here. Have only been there for breakfast but got less than $10 you can get 2 eggs with home fries, bacon and sausage and either toast or pancakes. And they don't scrimp on the size and it tastes great. read more

Omg the worst breakfast ever! I requested turkey sausage well done was raw . Home Frite did not eat them extremely oily . Save your money, the worst . The plastic drinking glasses they give you all chipped on top like someone chewed on it . read more

Did you ever hear of a BLT with one piece of dried out bacon cut in thirds on each half. Definitely worth driving the 2 miles more to Muller's or Triplets. Both far exceed Besecker's which I just scratched off my preferred diner list!!!! read more

Besecker's is local to me, and I find myself going there several times a week when I can. Most of the time I'm in the mood for breakfast, which they serve all day long, and I usually get a ham and cheese omelette, with their home fries, which are always the same, very consistent, and taste great. I add salt and pepper to taste, I haven't gotten it with onions yet, but after reading one of the reviews, I'm going to try it. The waitresses are very friendly, and are starting to know me by name, which is nice. They do offer a reward card type thing and it's tied to your credit card or your cell phone number so after about $100 or so you get a five dollar credit which is just nice. The coffee is wonderful, but since I'm a diabetic and I like sugar, I keep it to just 2 cups otherwise well, I could overdose on the coffee! They do have specials for lunch, and I'll pick one occasionally and they usually very very good. I don't have any complaints, it's clean, friendly, nice people, they'll sit me in a booth where possible, but I'll make myself accommodating and sit at the counter if they're very crowded. All in all, I highly recommend them. Oh, and they also have free Wi-Fi. read more

Excellent Diner. Great service, enthusiastic. Food is classic diner fair. Clearly popular with the locals, always a good sign. Affordable. Good fresh coffee. Very clean. The cashier came over to me to get my check which is kind of fun. Read the specials carefully, different deals, different days. Thought my breakfast included coffee but I didn't read the fine print. read more

Excellent!!! The food and service were top notch! The decor was nice and VERY clean; it was a diner! I had liver & onions with mashed potatoes and gravy! It might have been the best I've tried! The pirogies sautéed with butter & onions on the side were great! My husband had vegetable soup, about which he raved! He also had a grilled cheese with Turkey and tomato on it. It was superb and neither of us could believe how much Turkey was on it! Our server was impressive; she came around the perfect amount of times. The prices were incredibly low. Definitely worth stopping there! read more

Easily the best breakfast diner in the Stroudsburg area, the food is great, and so is the menu, fantastic omelettes, I especially recommend the cheese burger omelette, delicious! read more

The waitress was rude to my nieces. Because of a incident that happened in the parking lot. Yelling some harassing remarks to her in front of customers. And management let this happen. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 30 years and for the management to allow this kind of behavior out of an employee to a regular customer is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! read more

Excellent food, never had a BD meal, and excellent service by very attentive and pleasant waitresses. We go there at least once a week

Wowza! This diner is the bomb diggity! Came here for brunch with a bachelorette party, we were able to sit all around the counter top. This place is legit. No bells and whistles, no crazy decor, just a cozy feel of an authentic diner. The menu sports classic and beloved diner staples - eggs, pancakes, bagels, hot drinks, and the most amazing French toast. Half of our group got stuffed French toast and not one bite was left on our plates. We also tried the pancakes, farmhouse eggs, hash browns, and home fries. Everything was smack and tasted like love. The pancakes melted in your mouth and tasted like a perfect fluff of butter. Home fries had a perfect crisp! They had glass bottles of hienz ketchup, as I said this is a legit diner. Guy Fieri needs to come here to hype up this deserving dine. And that's the truth . read more

Very disappointed at the service . Server did not checkup on me when I was sitting waiting for another cup of coffee .. she took forever to give me my check when I was leaving she said she was busy serving other people and I had to wait for the check . I ordered with my pancakes 1 egg no toast and she charged me for 2 eggs 4.25 and she only took off 0.95 for one egg she needed to take off $2.12 for the egg . Which when I told her she said no .95 only I said I refuse to pay that and I went to a manager who finally took it off and told me not to come back again !! I was shocked is that how u treat a customer. I will never come back . How dare she . Paid for what I ate no tip !! UPDATE. Don't wait a month to reply and then lie and invent your own version of the facts. I wasn't rude from the start. Your waitress was rude from the start. Being EXTREMELY busy is no excuse use for poor attitude or to tell your existing customer you're busy and they will have to wait for their check. It's no excuse to make them wait 10 minutes to fill an empty coffee cup when a diner has pots of coffee at the ready all day long. Don't try to slander me by making it sound like I didn't pay for my bill or tried to skate on it. All I wanted was a fair bill and not to get raped for one egg on the side that I ordered with my pancakes, and it was you who made it unnecessarily a problem, not me. You don't charge a customer $4.25 for two eggs and toast when all they ordered was one egg on the side, and then tell them that for your mistake you will only take off 95 cents and still charge them $3.30 for that one egg on the side. It doesn't cost $3.30 for a single egg on the side at any diner in this area. For your information, I am very happy with another diner...your competitor...Triplets!!!! Where I always have a great experience and they know how to treat their customers and they don't try to rob them blind. How offensive and rude is it by the way to make that statement about how it's not your problem when a customer cannot read what is right in front of them? How do you know what your customers can and cannot read? How do you know I don't have a disability? How dare you make a statement like that. How about you make it clearer in your menu what you charge for a single egg on the side because I couldn't find that anywhere in your menu that day. I sure as hell wouldn't have ordered it if I saw it said it was $3.30 for one damn egg. "All of the eggs that were taken off the bill" amounted to you removing the $4.25 charge I was never responsible for in the first place because I never ordered two eggs and toast and I didn't receive two eggs and toast or consume two eggs and toast. All I received was the one egg on the side, which I ate, along with my pancakes. All I asked was for you to fix it the right way. If you are gonna erroneously charge me $4.25 for two eggs and toast, and least refund me half that money since I only ordered and received one egg. That's the only fair thing to do. It should have been a $2.12 deduction. I should not have been charged any more than $2.12 for my single egg on the side and that is all I was asking for. It was a reasonable request. You unreasonably denied it and insisted that 95 cents was all the computer was taking off so that was all I was getting. You were extremely rude about it to me. That is why I was mad and expressed my anger about the situation and said I wouldn't pay the bill until the eggs were corrected. I never said I wouldn't pay for what I ate. I never demanded you take the eggs off altogether. I asked to speak with your manager to get the half credit adjustment on the eggs. I asked only for $2.12 to be removed and had every intention to pay for my single egg that I consumed. Your manager rudely decided not to come out and speak with me face to face but to send you back telling me you took the entire eggs off the bill and to never come back again. It was you and the manager who decided to remove the entire eggs from the bill, not me. I paid my bill. Don't call me a thief. read more

Food sucked, service sucked even more! We went in there for breakfast this morning sat & waited, waited, waited....they weren't even busy. The waitress took care of others that came in after us. The only person that made us feel welcomed was the hostess. The hostess got a nice tip from us because she deserved it, the waitress got $0.00. Food was bland & unseasoned & the food came out lukewarm.1st & last time here. I'm going to presume like many in this area our server doesn't understand that whether she likes it or not, there are interracial couples out there & their money spends just like everyone else's. Been dealing with people like her kind for 34 years, ignorance at its finest. read more

Great affordable place to stop at when I'm in town. Usually go for the Turkey melt and fries after having mozzarella sticks but, today I tried the Italian wedding soup. This housemade hearty soup is flavorful and awesome during any season. I also had dessert for the first time. Ordered the triple layer strawberry cake. Really enjoyed it. I do recommended a glass of water with their sweets. My best friend is a huge fan of their beef noodle soup and comes highly recommend. Trust me she's a local. Thumbs up! read more

This diner has been in business for decades. They can be very busy at times. Earlier this year, I took my mom there for breakfast and their parking lot was nearly full. This proves they must have a great many satisfied customers. If you are in the poconos for any reason, tis diner is worth going to. read more

Great atmosphere, nice staff, cheap food, a great old-school diner. Definitely worth a stop and I recommend sitting in the back section. Nice find in the Poconos. read more

Best meal in the Poconos in all our trips! In fact, it was so good that we came back the following day with a group of 8! We were meeting our real estate agent down the street at the ReMax office and ran here for a quick lunch before looking at houses. Otherwise, we probably would not have found this place since it's not off Rt 209. It's a lot less busy here but even on a Friday at 11:30am, the parking lot of this place was packed. On our second visit, we came back that Saturday around 3pm and that's probably the better time if you have a larger group. The Tuna Melt was everything I could have asked for. The thickly sliced bread was crunchy. The tuna and cheese were oozy. The cole slaw on the side was delicious (I almost forced the rest of the table to get cole slaw the next day). The dinner rolls were warm and we asked for a second basket despite many at the table being on carb free diets. When we came back with friends, everyone all but licked their plates clean. We ordered everything from the Fish and Chip to the Hamburger Soup to the Steak. Everyone (all picky Manhattanites) finished their dishes. Prices are very reasonable. Dish sizes are on the large side (I had leftovers both days). Our waitstaff both days was phenomenal and we plan on being back often! read more

literally my favorite diner ever... i bring everyone i know here and i always get the same thing every time (steak n eggs with a short stack and hashbrowns [the real hashbrowns, NOT home fries!!]) and it's always so good. it's a very small-town vibes diner with a family-like staff. the pancakes are to die for, best pancakes in the area hands down. idk what they put in there but i am an addict. it can get very busy during the typical hours (breakfast and lunch). the diner isn't huge (compared to the pretty large parking lot) but the wait time is never that long either. one time i went for lunch on president's day and it only took like 10 minutes to get seated so, not bad. i'll never not love this place :-) read more

My friends and I went to this place for lunch, however the second we walked in we knew we wouldn't be welcome. Apparently, if you have too much melanin, you aren't welcome in this restaurant. The staff was racist, and was very cold to us. We got yelled at to close the door while we were waiting to be seated. Rather than subject ourselves to this kind of bigotry, we decided to leave. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This was a FANTASTIC diner experience! The food was served pipping hot, and there were a lot of interesting mixes from the traditional diner menu. It lost a star because the waitress recommended the rice pudding, and it wasn't so great. Kinda watery and no cinnamon. read more

Passing by, needed lunch around 3pm, found Besecker's on Yelp and with 4 star reviews...... Classic diner. Although I think the tile work may be as old as I am, (don't ask!), the service was fast and very friendly. Menu was typical diner, went for the liver and onions, (one of my faves), with a side of Italian wedding soup, and mashed with gravy. Soup was pretty darn good, although meatballs were just pieces of larger ones. Liver and onions (with BACON, of course!) done just right, and mashed and gravy standard diner, but good. Would have given it 3.5 but Yelp won't do it on my cell read more

My wife and I were on vacation and stopped here for lunch. It was built in the 50's and they've kept that retro look. The atmosphere is warm and casual, and the service from EVERYONE from hostess to servers to waitstaff was top-flight and friendly. (We returned twice again in the same week and had the same great experience.) The food was consistently good and their tuna melt is the best I've ever had! If you're looking for a good old-fashion diner with good food and good vibes, don't pass this place up. read more

Since living in the Stroud area I've also gravitated to this little nice diner. Every time I am in the area I have to stop whether to get something to eat in or take out. They never disappoint me, and always make it the way I ask. My favorite is their soups, haddock all the ways they make it, and those delicious desserts! YUM! read more

Just got back from there from dinner. Ordered a hot roast beef sandwich which came with strange-looking mashed potatoes, lumpy gravy and a very generous amount of the toughest beef I've ever had! My brothe-in-law got the special, spaghetti and meatballs which looked good and my husband got a stuffed pork chop which was baked so hard and was so dry, it was hard to get down. Service was good but doesn't make up for very lousy food, will never go back! read more

They have the absolute best desserts, let me put it out there off the bat. This has to be one of my favorite places to eat when I visit the area, the staff are all so nice and they have some really good food, I have tried a couple diner's in the area but this one stands out among them in terms of food, service, and cleanliness. I can't wait to eat here again read more

Not for out of Towner's or anyone looking for a good meal. Very limited dinner menu and out of most of the specials. If they ever had them in the first place. Limited drink menu to the short Pepsi products. As for those requiring a diet drink, your choices are diet Pepsi or local tap water. Both are horrible. As to food, brought out to fast and in the wrong order. salad after the dinner. Where were these people trained? A state run nursing home or the local jail. Quite pricey for what you get, an eight inch dinner plate. food micro waved at the very best. Completely horrible experience. , read more
