This off the beaten path eatery serves up a good breakfast and has many options to choose from. A neat place with very comfortable booth space and a super friendly waitress named Britney. The ambiance is "old school" and it's been serving the community for decades. Don't be fooled by the exterior. Inside you'll find tasty good breakfast and hot coffee but you won't find ice tea (my husband's drink of choice) ;-). Its location is just outside the Jim Thorpe Rail Station about 2-3 miles away so you'll need to drive there but the parking is easy. I recommend this place for all the above reasons but do wish they had unsweetened ice tea.

Danny's Mess, I was more than happy to clean up

A restuarant out of their home, the family pulls themselves out of bed early in the morning to bring their customers high quality diner breakfast food. Our waitress was in her pjs, reading the morning paper. Sure it took her a minute to slowly bring us menus and coffee but once I had my food all my second guesses about this place went away. I ordered Danny's Mess (corned beef, potatoes, scrambled egg bowl) and a side of blueberry pancakes. My hubby got the breakfast platter and a bagel egg bacon sandwich. Their food tastes pure homemade with love, like grandma made it to fatten you up haha The bowl of 'mess' was filled with toppings. The pancakes were buttery, with crispy edges, and soft middle. A very delicious breakfast. Easy street parking, multiple bathrooms, and a decent number of tables.

Definitely a classic little spot. Solid prices, solid food and amazing portions. They fill your plate. It has a small town feel to it. The workers are friendly and there's regulars coming in and out that give a homey feel. They are cash only, but there's an atm right down the block. Cute spot in the town across the bridge from the bustling, Jim Thorpe. I would make a point to go back.

I would definitely recommend carefully reading all the reviews of this place before going - especially this on ;). I found that my experience in Jim Thorpe was heightened by listening to locals and going to the places they recommend. This came as the #1 breakfast spot to check while in the area. While it is a little outside of town and basically in someone's converted ground floor, it definitely has the home cooked feel you don't get, even in diners anywhere else. Yes, the service wasn't super, but I think that's a general consensus and I have to agree with all other people who are more generous with their feedback on this point. This is as mom and pop of an eatery as it gets, and this family owns, operates and runs a heck of a lot of business and the food is really worth it. Outstanding breakfast food with huge portions for extremely cheap is about as good as it gets. Make sure to bring cash and an appetite and some patience, and you will certainly have a great time at this cozy spot!

My family and I came to Jim Thorpe because someone recommended it to us. The location was interesting because it's in the middle of the neighborhood. The service was amazing! The young lady was very kind. The food was delicious & tasted homemade. I would definitely come back with my family. The portion was big & the prices are fair. The place feels like home which made sense since it was a family owned restaurant.

Danny's mess

So this place is in the middle of the neighborhood and was quite busy. Seems like the locals come here so quite different for a group of guys from the NYC area. It's a cute spot and the staff is a bit rough around the edges but otherwise nice. Ordered the danny's mess which had a nice texture but needed salt&pepper. They're in short supply of hollandaise sauce lol. Also this place only takes cash. Was in the area for the weekend but believe there are better places in the centre of town.

the art work.

Super quaint breakfast diner vibe. The food was reasonably priced and tasted amazing! The waitress and her young helper were prompt, friendly and we loved listening to their hysterical banter.

Staff is attentive, the beer that was recommended was right up my alley, thank u.

Established in 1830 and connected to the iconic…read moreHotel Switzerland, Molly Maguires combines great food, friendly service, and plenty of local charm. The pub embraces the rich coal-region history that inspired its name, making it a perfect stop while exploring this beautiful mountain town. One of the highlights is their large covered outdoor deck, which is ideal for summer dining. Even better, they're prepared for every season--they can enclose the deck during rainy weather and have a heating system in place to keep guests comfortable during the colder months. The day we visited happened to be Trivia Day, which made for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. It's easy to see why both locals and visitors enjoy spending time here. The pub has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that's perfect whether you're stopping in for a meal, drinks with friends, or just taking a break from exploring town. We started with the Tater Kegs--oversized tater tots stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, served with zesty horseradish sauce and sour cream. They arrived piping hot, perfectly crispy, and absolutely delicious. A great appetizer to share. For entrées, I couldn't resist the Shepherd's Pie. Ground beef, onions, carrots, and peas are simmered in a rich gravy and topped with beautifully piped mashed potatoes baked until golden brown. It was hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Molly Maguire Burger loaded with peppers, mushrooms, onions, and bacon. I added pepper jack cheese, and it was definitely the right choice. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. A special shoutout to our server, Abbey, who was outstanding from start to finish. Not only was she attentive with drink refills and checking on us throughout the meal, but she also took the time to recommend other sights and attractions around Jim Thorpe. Her friendly personality and local knowledge made our visit even more enjoyable. Between the delicious food, fun atmosphere, historic setting, and exceptional service, Molly Maguires delivered a memorable experience. If you're visiting Jim Thorpe, do yourself a favor and stop in. And if you're lucky enough to have Abbey as your server, you're in for an even better experience!

Three of us ordered Thai chicken and my wife ordered the Bangkok bowl. The ingredients were fresh and carefully selected, as the dish had a slightly sweet curry sauce on it. The chicken thigh was on top of a bed of short grain brown rice appropietly cooked for the dish. Veggies such as broccoli and eggplant were around the edges. The Bangkok bowl was slightly different as the samosas had a fair amount of heat to them. The waiter recommended mixing them with the rice and fried chickpeas, which worked well. For dessert, the rose and cardamom coffee glee had little rose flavor. I asked and they said it was infused as well as the garnish on top, but I failed to taste it. Ditto for the chocolate orange ganache, in which I could not taste the orange flavor. No points lost, the deserts were still better than average, not too sweet. Service was very good, the waiter loved to inform us of what to expect. Also, it was a good place for four of us to sit at a table and enjoy a conversation.

The murder mystery itself was the highlight, the storyline was engaging, and the actors were clearly well-trained in improv and very kind. Murder Mystery: 8/10 The room was fairly standard, what you'd expect in an old-timey house. No TV or modern extras, but there were plenty of charging outlets, which was appreciated. Room: 7/10 The food during the stay was incredibly disappointing. Most of it felt like reheated microwave meals. Breakfast included eggs, bacon (very thin, broken pieces), cubed potatoes that were oddly watery, ham slices, stale danishes, cereal cups, and a parfait option that had run out by our 9am time slot. Dinner was similar in quality. I chose the cheese ravioli, but despite being second in line, it was cold. The same watery potatoes from breakfast were served again, along with green beans. The only highlight was the coffee, which was good. Food: 2/10 Unfortunately, the parking situation is very poor. There are only 5-6 spots directly outside and a few more up the hill behind the carriage house. I was dropped off at check-in and informed staff that my boyfriend would be arriving late. I was assured there would be parking available and that staff would be present 24/7 to assist him. However, I woke up to a call from him saying he couldn't find parking. I went downstairs to get help, but no staff could be found. Not wanting to disturb other guests, I eventually gave up, and he had to park on the street in the neighborhood on top of the hill overnight. At breakfast, we were briefly told about additional parking behind the carriage house, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue from the night before, nor any attempt to make it right. Parking: 1/10 The staff overall seemed inexperienced and, at times, unprofessional. While I empathize with younger staff members, there were several uncomfortable moments--such as hearing an employee joke about "killing" another staff member over a small mistake, and staff walking away mid-conversation while we were trying to ask follow-up questions. Staff: 4/10 Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the murder mystery, but the experience didn't quite match the price point. With a few key improvements, this could be a much more worthwhile stay.
