We eat there two or three times a month. Today, I was disappointed to see I was charged $1.50 extra when I asked for another sour cream and salsa for my quesadilla. You're given small containers of each for a quesadilla. I've never been charged when asking for more at any other eatery. I had not been told there would be an extra charge. read more

food was great but our waitress was a little but grouchy but who know what happened during her day so I will not complain. the food was delicious as always but the order was a little wrong. read more

I had an open turkey sandwich and soup and thought it was excellent. But I can't speak for other dishes. I just know mine was great.

Stopped in w best friend, "Fast Food". FD got great reviews on Yelp and Google. Deservedly so. My turkey club w ff was "dope". FF's open-faced turkey w mashed and brown gravy was also dope. He finished everything b4 I was halfway through (hence his nickname today). Exvellent food, great service, fair prices! 5 stars read more

I very rarely give one stars. Usually there is SOMETHING you can find that is redeemable about a restaurant. But not this one. Starting right off with the ambiance, we requested a booth. We were walked past numerous open booths and put in a corner where you had to squeeze past 2 other tables where people were seated to get to it. When those guests left, they started sweeping the floors and kicking up dirt while we were sitting there eating. They cleaned the tables (not the chairs) and then sat the chairs upside down on top of clean new place settings. I started with the salad bar (an extra $6.99 charge to my meal). The photos on the menu showed crispy chicken. I get up there and it's three (SMALL) 6"x12" pans with browning wilted lettuce, spinach, and spring mix. Nowhere was there chicken or any sort of special toppings that resembled what was shown in the photos. My main was the vegetarian Benedict. Avocado and tomato on a toasted muffin topped with eggs and hollandaise sauce. I asked for grits as my side which was a choice on the menu. I put my butter on the grits and it never melted. I noticed and touched them and they were cold. My hollandaise sauce had 0 flavor and was like one of those packets you get from the store where you just need to add water. Even the eggs were flavorless. The avocado was browning and had a weird texture. I had asked for a little extra hollandaise to try and offset. Later I found I was charged a fee of $2.06 for modifying the meal but nothing was brought up about an up-charge when I had made the request. My friend had gotten carrot cake and icecream. The menu had said add a scoop of icecream to any slice of pie or cake for $2.99. We were charged $3.99. Every item on the bill had an additional "fee" added to it. When asked, they said that was the price - but it did not reflect the menu prices. Save yourself the money and frustration, and go across the street to McDonald's or Wendy's. It's a cleaner atmosphere and you get what you pay for there. read more

Fairlane Diner - The Menu Face - Diners Near Me - Pottsville, Pennsylvania

This diner is just "okay". I'm not sure how they got a "best diner of the year" award from the Republican Herald. If the Manheim is open, you're better off going there. The service ranges depending on who you get, and the food also ranges depending on the cook. The pancakes are quite bland compared to the Manheim, sometimes they'll even taste like whatever was in the grill last! The omelettes can range from browned to uncooked on the inside. The only redeeming fact is the chocolate peanut butter cake in the display case. Save yourself, go to the Manheim. read more

Good was good, service good but when they started cleaning the floor with a Clorox detergent and started running a fan next to our table... it was time for takeout containers! Do not clean the floors or vacuum next to customers eating. Very annoyed read more

Fairlane Diner - Server cleaning floor, we are seated right behind the fan, that's where he started. - Diners Near Me - Pottsville, Pennsylvania

Went to this diner a few times. today didn't seem the same as before. We ordered chicken potpie. The potpie wasn't served in a pie dish,it was a flat oval dish with a handle and there was no pie crust. read more

Although this wasn't very good I will give the breakfast menu a try. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was clean. read more

Fairlane Diner - This is chicken parm with Alfredo noodles. The chicken had absolutely no flavor and was over cooked and the Alfredo watery and tasteless. - Diners Near Me - Pottsville, Pennsylvania

The steak panini was quite good and the portion was substantial. The shrimp basket came with a ton of fries and onion rings. The shrimp was decent but greasy. The quality of the ingredients on the salad/soup bar was mediocre at best. Our server (Skye) was in desperate need of better training OR a boot in the behind to do her job better OR an outright termination. The interior of the restaurant looks nice enough but it was VERY cold inside. All three of us were chilly and two of us were downright cold. Would I come back? Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't refuse to return AND I wouldn't be in any hurry to do so either. read more

Stopped by the diner to for a quick lunch, they have the most delicious chicken noodle soup and the service Amy provided was outstanding, she definitely is aware of all her tables and has a very friendly demeanor. definitely will come back again. read more

I absolutely love this place! Not only are they the only restaurant that is open AND delivers (via DoorDash) 24 hours most days of the week, but they have a thoroughly extensive menu with a lot of incredible options! read more

Fairlane Diner - Banana split waffle - Diners Near Me - Pottsville, Pennsylvania

I have eaten here twice, although why I came back the second time I cannot now say. The food is not bad, in the sense that it is not remotely satisfying or desirable, but did not give me food poisoning. Calling it food is a little generous; what they actually serve is such ultra-commoditized units of theoretical comestibility that it challenges to move beyond (that is, below) the parameters of Syscoslop. I have had better meals at hospital cafeterias. I have tried both fish and eggs benedict here and both were recognizable as those dishes only by visual metrics, the eggs benedict in particular being of exceeding strangeness, served at about 86 degrees with some kind of gritty, off-yellow paste gooped over slices of cardboard. The salad bar is tiny, with a selection of vegetables that is somehow both withered and soggy, but thankfully is so poorly stocked that you will not be able to put any on your plate anyway. My wife had a flavorless pie here that she was not entirely sure was not the display model. On the good side, the waitress was friendly and looked apologetic about having to serve food here. One hopes she is permitted to go elsewhere on her lunchbreak. read more

First and absolutely LAST time we will ever eat at the Fairlane Diner in Pottsville. We ordered the Turkey and Stuffing. It came with the soup / salad bar and one side. As soon as the waitress took our order, we went to the salad bar to get a cup of soup and salad to eat before our dinner would be ready. That took about three minutes. Literally, as soon as we brought our soup and salad back to our table, our turkey and stuffing was placed on our table by the waitress. We stated to our waitress we had not even had a chance to take a bite of our soup or salad. She replied they gave her our dinners and apologized for the meals coming out before we even tasted our soup or salad. There is NO WAY the meat was cut and the stuffing placed on our plates in three minutes ! That food had been sitting ready to serve on the plates far before being served to us. The gravy was not even hot ! The stuffing was LOADED with saffron and tasted disgusting. The rolls on the soup / salad bar were uncooked on the inside and smelled raw inside. This is NOT a place to eat unless you want to pay a lot for very, very lousy food. I doubt they will stay in business long with food like this. We will not return. Everything is overpriced, VERY poorly done and better food is readily available at other restaurants for less cost. read more

Stopped a few times since its opening when I am passing through and it was very good. Staff is super friendly. The other night was disappointing. Pasta salad smelled as if it was sour. Onion was very bitter. Rolls were ice cold. Fish platter was very small portion for price. Hopefully this was a one time disappointment because it previously was very good read more

Cheese steak had raw onion and raw green peppers. Roll was hard on ends. Gave us hash browns instead of home fries . got salad bar included with meal but don't eat salad. Wanted to get a small salad for someone at our table instead. Owner said no cant do that. Never going back. read more
