On a few of my videos I had a bunch of people continually suggesting to stop in and check out a "pork roll" (I don't care what you call it) egg and cheese sandwich from Darto's in Bethlehem. Today I did just that, and I'm happy I did. The girl who helped me was very friendly and helpful. It was almost like a house inside, dark wood all throughout and the kitchen nearly looked like a residential kitchen. This was $4.70 and had 2 big slices of the Jersey meat on it with egg and plenty of cheese on a pretty solid Kaiser. I was shocked at the cost for such large slices of meat on there, and the roll makes or breaks the sandwich for me and this passed the test. Video is going out tonight, but it definitely Didn't Suck read more

Went during Musikfest. We were staying at the hotel across the street and missed the hotel's breakfast. So glad we did. This is a family run business and you can tell by the excellent staff and friendly atmosphere the moment you walk in. We actually ended up talking to a former local who said he used to come here all the time and another local at the counter who was very friendly and funny. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, potato, onion, and cheese on a roll and a side of has homefries with onions. The sandwich was big and delicious. The homefries looked like typical homefries I've gotten elsewhere, but for some reason these were soooo good. One of the best tasting breakfasts I've had. read more

The locals told me about this place for breakfast, and it was a real find. Small family run place you would not even notice at first. Interior is...typical of an Eastern PA bar. However the draw is the breakfast food and sure enough my meal was just great and a really good value. Service was friendly with several folks who check on you to see if everything is OK. Parking is on the street but not an issue and my observation was their had plenty of regulars. Next time I'm back, I'm going to become a regular too so get the coffee on. read more

Veg egg white omelet was served hot. Omelet was too oily, contained more tomato than I care for, green pepper not cooked enough, home fries not browned enough. Oiliness was biggest issue. A neighborhood breakfast place serving the needs of many in the area. read more

I was here about a year ago and just realized i had not left a review. Great food. Excellent staff. The potatoes were tender and cooked perfectly. Bacon was crisp and tasty. The family that runs this restaurant is very friendly and welcoming. I hear that the S.O.S. and sandwiches are great. Will have to return and try some other dishes. read more

The best. Great breakfast served piping hot and delicious by a friendly and competent staff. They always make you feel welcomed. Don't miss stopping by this gem. read more

This is a Mom and Pop place you simply cannot miss if you are passing through Bethlehem PA. Such a homey feeling with great service , but the best part is the food. This is by far one of the best Breakfast places I have ever been to. There home fries are spot delicious, eggs perfectly made to order. The prices are very affordable. The place would be a 5 star but it lacks on plates, silverware, and presentation. read more

Darto's is a perfect little restaurant with consistently great food. Best breakfast sandwiches in the Lehigh Valley.

I don't know why I even went here for the 3rd time. The food is compatible to that at Denny's , and the wait staff is not the least bit friendly and seem to walk around aimlessly. And SLOOOOOWWW. The cooks are way under trained and slow as ^#@! And the quality of food isn't worth the long wait. Theres a ton of other places to eat downtown and you will enjoy you visit there 100% read more

Our airline puts us at the Hyatt across the street from this restaurant, so it's a very convenient place to go before a morning flight. The has that home cooked look/taste and the staff are wonderful. Kills me to have a Sunday morning departure when they're not open. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great breakfast spot. Fresh, tasty simple breakfasts at a great price point. Small but clean with super pleasant and friendly server and cook. Good coffee, good eggs, fresh toasted bread and perfectly fried bacon and scrapple resulted in a great breakfast. Only a ceramic mug instead of a plastic one could have made it better. We'll be back to try their pancakes, omelets and french toast. read more

Good food, significant portions, friendly service, bad coffee. That just about describes what you need to know for breakfast service. Just make sure you get your jolt of caffeine before you come here and you will be just fine. read more

Excellent! We came here on a Saturday morning so we had to wait for about a half hour. Apparently they only serve breakfast on weekends but the wait is well worth it. The ambiance of this place is kinda romantic. Its almost like walking into an Irish bar. Friendly service, affordable prices, and good food. read more

THEY SERVE SCRAPPLE!!!!! Automatically they earn 3stars... Quite possibly the cheapest place to grab a full meal in a sit-down establishement. I am a self-proclaimed coffee snob and Darto's coffee is very good for a cheap diner. Very mild tasting, but not overly watered down. Super smooth. For the health consicious, Darto's is not the place to go. Every breakfast meal I've seen served is ontop a puddle of oil/butter. Homefries are crispy, just how I like 'em. This place fills up quick so come early, I'm talking 8am on a Saturday morning. Parking on North street can be tough given that homes/apts don't have off street parking available to them, but Darto's will validate up to one free hour of parking at the North Street garage. Food comes out rather quickly, thanks to a great short-order cook. Decor is circa early 1989s and hasnt been updated since it's inception. I can see the kids from Stranger Things eating here with their parents. read more

Darto's Restaurant - Western Omelette (ham, onions, green onions, mushrooms per request) with Monterey Jack Cheese. Served with a puddle of butter/oil. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Place doesn't look like much from the outside, inside feels tight, but Wow, service was welcoming and food was delicious and served very quickly. Wish we had gone here instead of the expensive restaurant the day before that was not worth the price. But this one, this one we will go to again if we're ever in the area. read more

Perfect egg sandwich just like I want it. Toast well done instead Of limp. Well done ! Fast too

If you're looking to spend a decent amount to be wowed by unique food and service than Darto's is NOT for you. If you're looking for down-to-earth Americana breakfast with no frizzle or glamour for about the amount it costs to park downtown for a few hours... then you found your place. Darto's is a quaint secret for locals but not a destination drive for the whole Lehigh Valley. Better than most diner food, I will be back when I'm in the area... and I might just leave my wallet at home and use loose change in my car. read more

Did a take out order for lunch - turkey club and perogies. The bill was $7.00+tip (what a bargain) for a huge sandwich and 3 perogies. The service was immediate and the food came up fast and right! This is a great lunch place and breakfast too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

If I could give it 4.5, I would. This is a great place to eat! Service is excellent and prices are inexpensive. We went on a Saturday around 10:00 a.m. (they close at 11 on Saturday and are closed Sunday- just for reference). There was little wait for a table and drinks and the waitress was very kind and prompt. A two-egg breakfast with potatoes and with a choice of meat and toast is 5 bucks! My hubby got scrapple and I got sausage patties. Both our eggs were cooked over-easy to perfection. The sausage seemed fresh and a mixture possibly of pork and beef. The potatoes were sliced thin and had a nice crust on them. My only reason for not giving five stars is because everything was a tad too greasy. Don't get me wrong, I love me some butter and greasy, but the eggs were soaked and the inside of the potatoes were oily. The flavor of everything was delicious and the portions were generous for the price. I would definitely got back and it made good hangover food. read more

My father, brother, and I had a pretty nice experience last Saturday at this hole in wall near historic, colonial North & New Street intersections! We arrived on a weekend morning, Darto's busiest hours. Took us about 10 minutes to get our seat, but once we sat down we had a great brunch. Server moved quickly. Darto's sprinkles numerous Bethlehem and North BoHo Arts culture throughout its atmosphere, reliquing images of the historic city, steel industry, and locale. read more

Great place for a great American breakfast. No frills, no nonsense, just an amazing breakfast sandwich for the common man. The weekend hours are somewhat unusual I've rolled up excited to eat a breakfast sandwich only to find out they're closed. Great place regardless. read more

It's with mixed emotions that I write this review. Darto's is definitely one of those hidden treasures you kinda wanna keep hidden. Not because there's anything bad. Au contraire, it's an old breakfast nook you really don't want many people to know about purely for your own selfish motives. I like everything here. It's simple, hearty, quick and damn cheap. I have no idea how they can afford to charge so little for the amount of food you get, but I can't complain and am certainly not about to either. Nothing in particular stands out here but it all works somehow; the food, service, atmosphere, prices -- the whole shebang. Lines form tremendously fast here, esp in the early mornings. Darto's is not generally well known in the valley but it's VERY well known among locals. Come early and get out fast is the ticket here. Now forget you read this and go elsewhere. :-) read more

Sometimes I don't want a fancy expensive breakfast at my local Bagel shop or Panera Bread or wherever.... sometimes I want a good homestyle breakfast just like mom and dad used to make it. If good ol fashioned scrambled eggs on toast with hashbrowns is your idea of breakfast then Darto's is the place for you. Thier is nothing fancy about the place. And the doesn't need to be. The food speaks for itself... Flavorful, plentyful, greasy deliciousness!! The prices... super cheap. I can eat and have a morning cup of coffee for under 5$. Simply cannot be beat!! So for those that'll skip the over-priced gourmet breakfast sandwiches on artisan bagels, and just want a simple breakfast at a low price, Darto's is the absolute Restaurant of choice.... read more

Darto's is the diner equivalent of a dive bar. That's not a bad thing. You probably were drinking too much at a dive bar last night (like Joe's Tavern http://www.yelp.com/biz/joes-tavern-bethlehem) and now you are craving some greasy spoon food to battle your intense hangover. Darto's is somewhat hidden and if you aren't looking for it you probably won't stumble upon it. I lived in Bethlehem for 4 years before even realizing it existed. It's located across from the Bethlehem Hyatt hotel, so if you are staying there tonight you should definitely eat at Darto's tomorrow. Darto's is definitely a no frills establishment that caters to a large demographic and though very blue-collar I've seen politicians and business types stopping in for breakfast. The dark interior looks like it hasn't been changed in a decade or more. You know just by looking around that Darto's is a part of the community of Bethlehem with some historic chotchkies and pictures lining the walls. There is a small 6-8 seat counter and a number of tables for larger groups. The staff is attentive and polite. The coffee cups are smaller than most diners but they are refilled often without having to ask. They have one TV, visible from only 4 seats at the counter, usually with news on. On to the food... I've only eaten breakfast here, but this is real diner breakfast. Unlike that "other diner" on Broad street, Darto's doesn't try to be gourmet. This is butter drenched artery clogging breakfast food served up in what seem like just a matter of minutes. My advice is skip the added cost of the omelet and home fries (and the stick of butter they are cooked in) and go for one of their breakfast rolls. My favorite one, the Darto roll, is sausage, egg and cheese on a kaiser roll. Actually, from what I can tell, two eggs, two pieces of sausage, two slices of cheese on a huge kaiser roll. I figure it's also about 700 calories but if you are going to eat at Darto's you better stop counting calories now. This is a breakfast that will keep you going until dinner. Oh, and It's less than $3.00. I highly recommend Darto's for those who live in downtown Bethlehem that would normally stop by Wawa for a breakfast sizzli on their way to work. Call ahead before leaving home and your to-go order will be ready in a matter of minutes. There a few parking options in front so literally you are in and out in a minute with your giant Darto roll in hand, ready to start your day. read more

I'm not sure what the big fuss is about this place. When I first moved to Bethlehem from Philly, EVERYONE in the Lehigh Valley mentioned Darto's and how they had the best breakfast. So I finally checked it out and the appeal still remains a mystery. It was dark and dingy and had kind of a diner feel. I'm not a diner-hater - I'm from New Jersey - I love them! But I will pass on this one in the future. The place was deserted when I went. I think there was one or two gentlemen at the bar. I had lunch and my girlfriend ordered breakfast. Everything was bland and tasteless. Absolutely nothing special about the food. I could make better food, and I am no chef. The service was no stand out, either. To be blunt, it was just crappy food for a good price. I won't be going back but apparently others enjoyed their food and service. I'm not sure what I'm missing ! read more

A GREAT breakfast nook that I love. Darto's is only open for breakfast and lunch, and the food comes out very quickly.....and I basically want to say ditto about every other review before me (especially the one about keeping it quiet so those of us who love it don't have to have more people showing up taking one of the few buit in booths). That being said however, try the potato, egg, onion and cheese sandwich or get anything with a slice of ham on it (it's not skimpy). I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because things here can have a tendency to be a bit greasy and some of my friends aren't fans like I am because of that. They would easily agree though how this place is light on the wallet, and heavy on the belly. See you there soon! read more

To be honest, this restaurant is overrated if you take the reviews here at face value. Cheap as cheap comes? The prices sure are low, but they're not any lower than the diners on Union Blvd. east of Airport Rd. And the food is good to be sure, but c'mon - if you're raving about Dartos because of REAL potatoes in the home fries - I've been to plenty of places that use real potatoes. But anyway to get down to the nitty gritty: Pros: good prices, good portions, good food, good location. Con: if you're not careful, those good prices can quickly add up (as with anywhere else). The hours kinda suck - 7 til 2 in the afternoon? Boo...... I haven't had a bad thing at Dartos yet. Their chili is an absolute bargain and is really good - only about $2.50 or so for a bowl. Their burgers will fill you up - though they're made from fresh ground beef, they can stand to be charred for a more flavor. But as I mentioned in the cons, it can all quickly add up, just like anywhere else. From the reviews I've read here, I expected to be full for only $5, but that's not the case at all - I've spent closer to $8-$9 each time I went. To be honest, I'm a big eater, so it's probably not a fair comparison to smaller eaters. So don't get me wrong - Darto's is great! It's just not the amber-of-the-gods great that many of these reviewers seem to be making it out to be - I'd say it's on par with a good diner. read more

Love Dartos. Best place for breakfast in downtown bethlehem and the prices cant be beat. the lunch specials are great as well during the week. its a very nice atmoshphere. its like the "Cheers" of breakfast spots. my only negatives would be the coffee and the size. its small and if you go at the wrong time on a saturday your waiting in a line that extends outside. it's good enough to wait in that line for a table. read more

Darto's ya know I love you BUT you have to do a better job of seating people. I recently walked in here with my parents who have been anxious to try the famous Darto's. Unfortunately there was no where to sit as no less than 4 sets of 2 people were sitting in all the 4 person booths while all the other 2 person booths were empty. We didn't want to sit at the bar so we left. This is just stupid! You lost customers bc of your lack of logistics. Please work on this! UPDATE: Have gone in TWICE since this last review and had the same experience with out of town guests. We will NOT be going back again with guests. Maybe on our own. read more
