Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Not some place you would typically think to stop at if you didn't grow up in the area or have someone recommend to you. Food is as good as your grandma would make, and brings that same home-style comfort your entire meal. Prices are great compared to other spots in the area. Absolutely a must stop place whether you're just passing through, or are local to the area! read more

A little slice of Americana If you're looking for a small town diner vibe this is your spot. They have a large menu of breakfast and lunch items. If you ask a local they'll tell you to try the Garbage plate which despite the name is delicious! My most recent visit for breakfast I was with a party of five. The service was quick and friendly. The food felt homemade. My kids had French toast, waffles, and bacon which was a hit. The other meals in the party were good as well. There is a large parking area so you can always find a spot. Would I recommend Ed's to others? Yes I would read more

The food was wonderful, just like home! The service was top notch and Ed Jr. the most welcoming host ever.

So, been here many times in the past but the owner raised his prices 'due to egg prices' apparently (which are now down). We ordered oatmeal with toast and extra toast, two coffees, a western omelet ($15) and a piece of pie. Our bill was $36! For breakfast. Won't be back. The food and service was great but priced WAY too high now! read more

Never got the chance to eat. After being told to sit anywhere, I sat at a visible booth. They're apparently short-staffed since they have help wanted signs up for a waitress. However as myself (and a person at another table were waiting for initial service) with no waitresses in sight, a large party of 8 walked in and sat down. As they were seating themselves, two waitresses emerged to ask that party what they'd like to drink. It's unacceptable how long it took for any waitresses to appear and then for both to run to this party, ignoring the rest of the patrons in the restaurant. I wanted to give it a chance, since I prefer to support small businesses. It has that typical small, family-owned diner look with booths around the edge and tables in the middle. It's tucked behind a motel. However, I refuse to spend money at a place where I'm ignored. I understand being short-staffed and busy on a Saturday morning, but 15 minutes waiting is unacceptable, especially when the waitresses ran to the large party. Meanwhile I drove a mile down the road to Valley Dairy and was seated, had coffee and my food in the time I sat waiting at Ed's Diner. Can't recommend. read more

I love their food it's AMAZING like always , the service there is always so NICE ,I love the place, when I go inside it's like my fav place.

If you're looking for a local diner with a personal feel - huge portions and very reasonable prices - this is your place. Huge selection for breakfast is an understatement. No you won't find your avocado chickpea toast w/ kale & salmon bacon here... this is breakfast counter / all-american omelets, potatoes, sausage, hash, hot coffee & OJ! Traveling through? Great spot. Working local early in the morning? Great spot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

This former decent diner is sadly going in the wrong direction. While the staff and service is still good and friendly. There's a lot left to be desired in the food. Barely any flavor and not satisfying. I hope it improves quickly. read more

This establishment is tucked back from the highway. It was a great breakfast find with excellent service and enormous portions. There is lots of seating and the crowd is formed by lots of locals. Great find and we'll definitely be back!! read more

In spite of traveling Route 119 south frequently, Husband and I had no idea this place was here. It sits next door and behind a motel. It looks as if it was built to go along with the motel back in the 1960s. We were taking an older family member out for the day and he knew about it and wanted to have breakfast here. The morning we stopped in, it was very busy with a lot of local patrons. Parking lot was full Typical hearty diner food served by friendly waitresses. There were specials listed and pricing was very reasonable. Portions were generous. We were happy with our food and will most likely return, now that we are aware Ed's Diner exists. read more

This is a local hole in the wall place. The food is excellent. They only serve breakfast and lunch. Meals are large so if you don't eat a lot order a half of your meal. Wait staff are friendly and orders come out quickly. Double check their hours before you go. Yes its the building back the dirt road by the melody motor lodge. read more

Had been enjoying breakfast at Ed's for years, off-and-on, but the pandemic kept us away for a long time. Finally returned this past week and were disturbed to find Trump posters & pictures adorning the walls. If you're not a deplorable, you, like us, will lose your appetite at a diner that caters to political radicals and excludes regular working folks like us. P.S. the garbage plate is still awesome. read more

Love this Diner. The food & service are fantastic. Love the old Diner atmosphere! Great place to meet & eat with friends/family read more

Ed's Diner - a man holding a cell phone - Diners Near Me - Connellsville, Pennsylvania

We found this gem of a restaurant on our way to see Kentuk Knob. This place is the definition of a typical diner. They have a counter with stools, a check out area with the clear plexiglass counter and a floor packed with tables that are full of local advertisements. We were there on a Sunday morning and it was PACKED. Even though every single table was full, the service was speedy and efficient. The menu is huge for such a small place. A crazy amount of options were available for breakfast alone. It was almost overwhelming because there were so many choices. I went with the garbage plate and my husband had biscuits and gravy. Portion sizes were large and everything was tasty. We both ate for under $20. A great value! The downsides are that they are cash only and when they are super packed, it is extremely loud and it can take a while to get things like refills on coffee or water. If I'm in the area again, I will likely stop for another meal. read more

Sat Feb. 23rd 2019 was our first time to Ed's Diner. My wife took me there for my birthday breakfast. It was a great present. The place always looks busy when we go by and I have been wanting to try it. So glad we went there, as always they were busy. We walked in and were greeted and told to seat our selves where we could find a table. We sat at one of the smaller tables but the seats were not the most comfortable for us, so after we placed our order we moved to another table with chairs. Much better. All the staff was very attentive and friendly. Our waitress took the time to answer our questions and was very nice. Our coffee cups were kept full. The food was good, hot and tasty. I had the pancake omelet, my wife had the garbage plate. Will will definitely be returning here again. Highly recommended! read more

The food is good. Nice little out of the way diner. Seems to be loved by the locals. Granddaughter who hates everything loved the French Toast. read more

Ed's diner is easily one of the only places to get a good old fashioned breakfast in the area for a great price. Their menu is massive so you will defiantly find something you have always wanted to try or something simple or just comfort food. Wait staff is always friendly and accommodating. No worries about paying with cash anymore, they even accept NFC payments (Apple pay, Samsung pay, etc). read more

My never-ending quest for the ultimate diner experience in Fayette county appears to maybe actually be never-ending. We ate breakfast here on a Sunday and it took almost an hour and a half to get our food. The place was stuffed to the gills, but it was difficult to even get a coffee refill. Once the food came, it wasn't terrible, but it certainly was not worth the wait. The staff was friendly, but too disorganized to really pay much attention beyond taking our order and delivering our food an hour and a half later. My wife and I might have just hit this place on an off day, but we won't be giving them another chance. Another thing to note is the parking lot is in horrible condition; you may actually damage your car visiting Ed's. read more

Very good food. I had the Amish Plate, everything was hot and fresh more then plentiful. My son had the waffle with blueberries and it took up the whole plate. The only complaint I have was the staff, not very good. Had to ask for coffee and drink refills all the time for a table of 6 and after our food came the waitress was not seen again. Outside of that I'll go back but sit at the bar area where the waitress is stationed read more

The diner opens at 5:45 AM and has great food at great prices. The staff are very friendly. The portions were nice size. Highly recommend this place. read more

Little place behind a little motel. HUGE selection of food though. The service is great, the food is great and the selection is huge. I usually get the same thing, but that's only because if I didn't, I would spend half the day staring at a menu. The garbage plate is amazing.. I know it doesn't sound appealing, but how often are you really going to get a chance to eat at this place? Just give it a try, you won't regret it. Also -- EXTREMELY CHEAP read more

Cheap and surprisingly good no-frills small-town diner. Most of the negative comments seem to come from local Connellsville or nearby Uniontown customers. Not sure what the deal is there but complaining about the potholes in the parking, really? In any case as an out-of-towner you will happily stumble upon this diner. Great breakfast, good service, frequent refills and contrary to the motel next door they even have WiFi! read more

This place is horrible. We stayed at the hotel next door with some friends for a few days and went there for breakfast twice. The first time they served me a mushroom Swiss omelet that was oozing with grease and nothing inside. My wife's scrambled eggs were no different and it too the waitress 3 time to get me the right toast. Our friends food was just as bad. Second day I figure I get eggs sunny side up, how bad can that be, right? Wrong! The eggs were over cooked to the point the were no runny yolk was left. Bacon was charred stick and guess what, different waiters got our order wrong again. read more

My wife and I were looking for breakfast today near Connellsville and were lucky to find Ed's. I have driven past this place a 100 times and always thought I should stop in. Based on what I saw on Yelp we tried it this morning and it was very good. The food came out hot and done perfectly and the service was great. I'm looking forward to more breakfasts in the future. read more

If you enjoy hometown diners with good homemade food NOT average chain restaurants, this is the place for you. My wife and I travel from Morgantown to Greensburg on route 119 quite often. We travel past this diner and there are always lots of vehicles parked there. This is usually a good indication of a great location. My wife and I both ordered the garbage plate and were not disappointed. More food than we could eat. Both had breakfast and coffee and it came to less than $19.00. Everybody was friendly, staff and patrons, which made me want to come back many times. My wife and I are going to make this our new spot and can't wait to try many other breakfast and lunch items. read more

THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!!! My fiancé and I have a 20 minutes drive to Ed's and we go all the time. I have always gotten breakfast food but have never once had anything I don't like. All the staff is incredibly polite and they're constantly walking around with coffee so it's always topped off and hot! The items are relatively inexpensive and always tasty. The only "downfall" would be that they only serve breakfast and lunch so you have to get there before 2!! read more

This place is a gem, back off the road a little bit, friendly service, food came out quick, clean and the food met all our expectations, the staff always keep your coffee filled, recommend this place if you are ever in the area. read more

Everyone has their own opinion. I ate breakfast there this morning and received a cold breakfast that had to be sent back. The coffee was horrible! read more

This place isn't a 5/5 it's a 10/10!! The food is amazing the prices are extremely fair but best of all is the beautiful, amazing, attentive wait staff that treats you like family! This is a must stop if passing by! read more

this is my favorite breakfast spot in this area. we ate here everyday and also had the same server. if it was open later, i would go here for dinner too. reasons's to go here... 1- great food 2-great prices 3-friendly staff 4-super clean restaurant i had a different meal everyday except for lima bean soup. i had that everyday. potato cake, buckwheat pancakes, fried steak/gravy and eggs over easy. bacon and ham were the best breakfast meats. and chocolate cake was delicious. i'm from philly which is a foody city and this is a must go for foodies out there. read more

Had the garbage plate. Delicious and huge. Coffee was middle of the road by thick so only four out of five but I would go back.

Ate breakfast here while riding the GAP trail. Truly a small town local establishment. Typical diner fare, I had pancakes and could hardly finish them. The service was good, I thought it was cool when one of the waitresses saw a couple old dudes pull up and she had their coffee ready on the table and their order in before they sat down. Overall a good experience. read more

One of those gem diners you come across all to rarely. If you're ever in the Connellsville, PA area in the morning & you're hungry, this is the place. Menu is fun, food is fantastic & you leave thinking that you committed a crime only paying what they ask. read more

AHHH this place is awesome... Buckwheat cakes old fashion buckwheat cakes thin and crispy... just like my Mommy makes ...I love this place found it by accident. I like them thin and crispy with bacon. Service is great. read more

Walking in, the place was packed. The norm seemed to be sitting at a table that still had plates on it from the last patrons. On top of being invited to sit at a dirty table, the menus were sticky which was also a turnoff. My coffee needed to be refilled for over 3 minutes and the service did seem disorganized. Our food took forever and it wasn't anything special. Personally I don't think my wife or myself will ever be attending this place again. read more

Deporal parking lot with alot of potholes that should get fixed Had to wait over 30 minutes for my food until it got served the strawbeeries tasted like onions I rather eat at rt 40 diner this is the last time I eat here. read more

ok, you have to be used to fayette county to really be able to appreciate ed's diner. if you've never been to a hometown-dive-diner before, you may be a little turned off... cash only, a blinding menu, and at times quite a long wait for a folding table that you have to share with strangers. but the food speaks for itself. let me elaborate. so when you walk into ed's (especially during breakfast/brunch time on the weekends) you're going to walk into one busy restaurant. it's all seat yourself, so when someone gets up, you jump on that table... don't wait for it to be cleaned off, or you'll be waiting a while. the tables are some booths, some long folding tables, so the long ones, you'll inevitably end up sitting on one end with strangers on the other. once you sit down, the servers are pretty quick to come by, clean off the table, and get your drink orders. so next, you open the menu. i'm pretty sure "ed" discovered how to highlight and change fonts in microsoft word and just went nuts. each item is a different color and there's virtually no spacing, so the menu is pretty hard to read. i've personally never gotten anything except the garbage plate, so i usually don't even bother reading it. (especially if i'm hungover.. it just gives me a headache.) but, did i mention the garbage plate? holy king of the breakfasts. there are a few versions of the garbage plate... original, chili, hot, etc. i've personally tried original and chili and prefer original but i'm sure they're all good. the garbage plate is basically an omelet/casserole with fried potatoes, cheese, meat, onions, and gravy. the plate is huge but i end up stuffing myself with it every time. it's the perfect hangover food too, by the way. the food does take a long time to come out, but the servers are attentive and quick, and trust me the wait is worth it. everything is pretty cheap, but like i said, cash only, and no there's no atm if you've forgotten your cash. oh and just one more tip, be careful pulling into the parking lot, it's needed repaved probably since before i was born and everyone just kind of parks where they want to, so just be cautious if you don't want a flat tire. ok i lied, one more one more tip. they do have free wifi, but last time someone asked for the password, none of the servers could remember it. so if you're pretty good with guessing passwords based on the clue they gave us ("something with the word hotdog, i think) maybe you can crack the code, otherwise, i wouldn't bother. read more

This is a small town diner that must pride itself on being low budget. The food was tasty, but average. The service was fine, but nothing outstanding. The biggest complaints I have are the dining atmosphere and parking. The parking lot is deplorable...gigantic holes and ruts everywhere. The building looks nice on the outside but feels cheap once you walk in (plastic movable tables) and small booths. The prices are reasonable for the food quality but don't think that, in the year 2012, you'll be able to use a debit card. Cash only for whatever backwards reason. I'm typing the review on a new-fangled contraption called an iPad...so I'd suggest at the very least, getting a debit card system/machine set up. read more

Ed's had amazing delicious food....tastes about as homemade as it gets! Prices are unbelievably cheap, plus you get a lot of food for your money. Definitely a Fayette County staple. The service isn't always the best, or else I'd have given 5 stars. read more

Ed dinner is a amazing place to eat there food is great the service is awesome it's probably one of the best dinners I love it
