This place was amazing! The construction on the bridge sucked but honestly it was worth the wait! Never been to this area and my SO and I were winging it with GPS. Once we got there we were greeted right away and said to sit where we want. It was like a history adventure in there. You could tell it's a spot the regulars love. It seemed they knew all the customers. They had a jute box, people's names carved into the wooden booths (which have plenty of room) , stools with a foot bench and very clean bathrooms. The food was very tasty and fast. The prices are amazing! It's been a long time since we've seen such good prices. My SO had the I believe it was called the grouch can? It had potatoes, sausage & gravy, bacon, peppers, eggs etc I got bacon, eggs, fluffy wheat toast (I liked that they let you apply your own amount of butter) and home fries. We will definitely be back. read more

This business has gone downhill as it has went through Three owners, the food/cooking is horrible. If only they could find a good cook then they'd be back on top but half the time they can't even keep Coca-Cola for their vanilla Coke. They're famous vanilla cokes there and I'm not happy That they took out the Coke dispenser and put in a Pepsi one and uses cans of Coke now cause it makes a big difference in taste. I always have to get vanilla Pepsi. read more

I gave it a five because there ain't many places like this left and they should be supported. It's very minimal. Menu is limited and the service was kind of lacking. My omelette was ok. That said, it's in a really interesting part of town that's kind of run down and dilapidated. In that sense, it's kind of hipster. Check it out next time you're near Brownsville. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. in addition to the sewage smell, the breakfast meal was a total grease fest. I didn't eat any of it. yuck!

Enjoyed breakfast of 2 eggs, hash browns & sausage patty; good service; really appreciated no charge on coffee. Most restaurants overcharge for coffee. Will go again! read more

Fiddles Diner - Eggs, sausage & hash browns; other is eggs, ham & home fries - American Near Me - Brownsville, Pennsylvania

The service at this restaurant is terrible.There were six of us and everyone got hot dogs except one person got an omelet.The place was not busy and it took over an hour to get our order and when it came one person was missing a hot dog and onion rings.The omelet was to come with an English muffin and she had to ask twice for it after her omelet was served.When she finally got it, it was cold and not toasted.Unless they start to do better, I will never return here.Do not recommend.I told the cook this was ridiculous and she said she's doing the best she can.She needed to say she'll do better next time instead of making excuses. read more

There are lots of things I regret to not have done while in college and visiting Fiddle's is one of them. Honestly while at Cal U visiting Brownsville to eat a meal was never on my radar, nor should it have been. Some of you people, from far and wide, may actually recognize this place. When Hollywood comes to the Pittsburgh area both movie and television productions seem to love this place. If you have seen 'Abduction' with Taylor Lautner or the Netflix show 'I Am Not Okay With This' then you have seen the inside of this restaurant. It's got that old, gritty, worn interior that screams we are here to last. Visit their Facebook page and it tells you they are celebrating 100 years of business, and for good reason. I must make you aware that their hours are not long during the day. With that I will move forward. Not knowing that they had the wonky hours that cover mostly breakfast and lunch I showed up closer to closing time than I wanted. But they did not turn me away, which was great. In fact I ran into one of the workers outside prior to entering and she greeted me even before I got close to the front door. Once inside you can tell why Hollywood has a love affair with this place. It has been able to withstand recessions, a pandemic, and the toughest of all, Brownsville's slow decline. If you can basically outlast the town you have your business in, you are doing something right. I chose to sit at the counter, I feel it allows for a more personal experience inside. I could have chose a booth, but I thought it would have been better to not make the servers run around to get to me. Their menu is currently available via QR code, so you can browse at your leisure. Being at a diner, one known for hot dogs, I went with that. I got myself two hot dogs and a order of fries. Once I place my order all my attention went into my surroundings. This place marveled me. Looking around outside of the initial entry area you notice just how ornate this place is. You also become aware of how old this place really is. Everything is dark wood and it is all carved. If you choose to partake in a booth it will have this darker, warmer feel to it. I also decided to strike up a conversation with the workers in here. First thing out of my mouth was, "Wasn't this used in a movie?" That opened the floodgates of information for me. I love everything that has to do with pop culture. She answered and informed of a few things that have taped on location here. She pointed around at things that were prominently featured in any given movie or television show. There is one particular window in the front of the store that has Fiddle's painted on it. For a movie it was to be shot out, Fiddle's supposedly has a supply of those windows on site from the production team of that movie. I assume to use in further movies or just in case they have to replace anything in the future. I was also informed that one Hollywood star wanted to purchase one of the booths within, but the owner denied that actor the chance. You can't give up a piece with that much history attached to it. I guess I showed mention the food. This is a place that you will see a majority of your food prepared in front of you. Especially if you go the hot dog route. They more rather quickly behind the counter, all while chatting with one another or interacting with the customers. You get to watch your fries drop in the fryer, your hot dog being turned on the griddle. Every action when it comes to food is in total view. The hot dogs were amazing. I wanted their most sought after dog, but they were out of chili for the day. So I went with what was suggested, onions and yellow mustard. The combo was perfect for a fresh hot dog. It cooled it down enough to make it able to be eaten. The fries, fresh from the fryer were in need of some ketchup. All in all, two hot dogs and an order fries filled me up here. It also filled my need for pop culture for the day. read more

I love this place so much! The people here are very friendly, the food is wonderful, and the restaurant was featured in Never Have I Ever on Netflix. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling nearby. read more

It was a nice little place, we went because it was featured in a show we watched on Netflix called "I am not okay with this". That said, it was nice to sit in the same spot as "famous people" did, LoL. Apparently other films have shot at this diner in the past. The fries were yummy and the BLT was also very good. Staff was friendly but didn't seem excited as us that it was a set of a cool ass show about a girl with telekinesis, hahaha. read more

Food was great! Service was bad... waitress forgot multiple parts of our order. Did not check on us. I had to go find her ask remind her or ask for something. The sad part is the food was great but the poor service was enough not to go back. There was one other couple in there so they were not even busy. We were that girls only table. And she clearly was not new because she was training someone. Not a very good employee to train others. read more

Loved it and so did my 4 year old son. They looked up the chicken strips for him to make sure they didn't have egg or milk in it due to his allergies... he ate Soooo many ignoring the French fries (not his usual MO with FF). Ihadtheoatmealwith coffee. My fiancee had their double cheese burger and added bacon, onions, lettuce, and BBQ sauce. We had a great experience and the staff was friendly and helpful! read more

It was good the diner is a throw back to the 50s maybe 70s. Looks like Mels diner on TV and has been used in numerous movies. Not a lot of parking because it's under a bridge but if your in town it's worth stopping. read more

Fiddles Diner - American Near Me - Brownsville, Pennsylvania

One of the few places around that offers dine- in during the Covid-19 restrictions. We were so glad. My daughter and I seem to be drawn to Brownsville, and find every excuse to come to town to explore the history. We saw the diner in the Netflix show, and found out later that we sat in "The Booth"! The classic diner decor and atmosphere is unbeatable . The food is typical diner food, i had a burger and fries, my daughter had a hoagie. Both were good. Will definitely return! read more

Old time diner with limited hours - but make the time to get there! Their hot dogs are definitely the best and their breakfasts are large. Don't expect gourmet, this is diner food but there's something so comforting about the old decor, the history of the place and one of the only restaurants to survive Brownsville's decline - it's worth a stop. Cash only so don't count on their ATM machine to be working. Staff is always friendly and the regulars are as well. read more

Noted for it's hot dogs and fried stuff. I've spent many a wasted Friday night at this place in my drunken youth. I am nostalgic because my dad used to bring me hot dogs at midnight from this place when I was young. Not the greatest epicurean spot,but a social mecca in a town that has seen better days. read more

Yummy yummy yummy you will love this retro diner with charm and absolutely the best service and menu selection!

Best for breakfast! Love their pancakes & cole slaw! But not together. Plus my daughter loves that Taylor Lautner has been here & we sit where he sat while filming a movie! Good service,food. Quaint & quite place! Luv it read more

A nice little find, tucked away under the bridge. Good for breakfast and lunch. Still has old tables, complete with plenty of initials carved into them. Wait staff as friendly as your own family. Portion sizes just right, try the chili dogs. read more

Don't go hungry.... we waited one hour for breakfast. Not busy at all . Food was fine once we got it tho.

Wow! I been to Fiddle's on numerous occasions but i went back 08/06/2017 for breakfast and wow was i and just about everyone there disappointed. I have NEVER seen a waitress act that way towards EVERYONE. People didn't get much in the door when Mrs Attitude made them uncomfortable that they would leave. I wish i was so lucky. This waitress is in wrong profession. Telling people to shut up, ignoring customers, shaking her head at everyone that walked through the door. If i had never been here before i would never go back but i will go back and if the same disgruntled waitress is there i will promptly leave. read more

This restaurant is amazing! Anyone who hasn't been to Fiddles should go. Nice place, great food, very affordable and it's got to be the best service I've ever got. read more
