Was there on Saturday night, took my date there. We loved it. The staff was super friendly and the food was good. With lots of it. We ordered breakfast for dinner and a lot of it and got out of there for like 30 bucks which was great. Definitely recommend. We'll be back. read more

Glider Diner - Diners Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Great food, but the service is terrible. when splitting a check, the server charged our credit cards and after we left placed $6 tips (on each card) on $12 bills, when a cash tip was already left. If going here, make sure you have CASH ONLY! read more

Food was mediocre but the atmosphere is great. Real old timey diner feels. Staff was nice as well

Food was terrible, services was okay to say the least. Cheesesteak tasted like rubber

Our server was friendly, but not very attentive. It wasn't very busy. I think because they were closing at 9 pm the staff was more focused on getting everything cleaned up then cooking food. We got our food almost a hour after we got there. The sandwich I ordered was good the fries were cold. In the future I will only go during lunch hours. The Glider use to be so good on service and food I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully my next visit will be a better experience. read more

Went for breakfast with family a few weeks ago. I ordered eggs Benedict. The "poached" eggs were almost soft to hard boiled consistency and the hollandaise was curdled looking. Did not enjoy my breakfast at all. Other family members had pancakes which they enjoyed which is why I'm giving it a 2 and not 1 star. I have eaten at the Glider for breakfast and lunch before and loved it. Not sure why the meal was not as good as usual, but I don't think I will go back. read more

A cute little diner. The best thing I had was the grilled Reuben. Also had the fries with cheese and bacon. Not good. Never had cheese fries that were actually awful, but these were. Tried the onion rings. Also awful. I think they are bought frozen, soaked in oil for about a week, fried, and served once they reach room temperature. Okay wait staff that was not particularly welcoming but not specifically rude. read more

Loved it! This place has all you want in a diner including a side that has the typical diner area with booths and a sitting bar, while they had a dining room area in the back. I got the roast beef (sirloin tips) entree that came with fresh green beans, potatoes (french fries), and 3-4 small rolls. The reason I went to this diner was that I heard the gravy was delicious and I found those rumors to be true. That was the gravy my grandmother from the midwest use to make. OMG! Even better is that on your potatoes, you can get cheese, chili, and/or gravy. I got all 3 and the waitress never had that ordered in all the years she worked there. My suggestion would be to show her there are others who want to stop their heart for a couple of heartbeats. Glider is great if you want a cheap meal, though service is in no rush to get you in and out. read more

Ordered a veggie burger. It came out after everyone had finished their meals, looked liked vomit, far too much salt and lettuce was unwashed. See picture. The waitress was kind and the gravy fries were delicious. read more

Went there on a Saturday morning. The waitress took our order brought us drinks and then waited an hour to get our food. French toast was tough couldn't cut it with a knife. One set of eggs was over cooked the other eggs we got were under cooked. Table had two pepper shakers. The table wobbled and spilled our coffee everywhere. Waitress was excellent though. would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Wow ! What a flashback! I came here as a kid and not much has changed some remodeling I guess but the food is the same DELICIOUS! Hot roast beef sandwich gravy fries side of Cole slaw. Life is good! read more

This place won't go down in history for the most memorable diner food ever. The Reuben was pretty bland. Service was good though and the front of the diner together with the bar stools at the counter is the best part. Real old school. I wish this place served better food. read more

Great home style breakfast. Eggs, ham, toast and coffee... Only $3.25 I am going to try one of their homemade muffins. Clean diner atmosphere. Only downside was the mediocre coffee. read more

Just sat at the counter and was ignored and watched the waitress serve two other customers who came in after me. Funny things is I know the owner and have been coming here on and off over the years. Place is way past its prime. They also charge 3% if you use a credit card. How they have a 4 star rating is beyond me. read more

I came here for breakfast when I was in town for work and this place killed it. The French toast was great. Too many places use sugar in the egg dip. This place does not, nor do they soak the bread. I could eat this all day. They use high quality butter too. The prices are also half of what id end up paying at home. Overall win. Very glad I came. read more

In pretty sure my pickles were either A) recycled from someone else's plate or B) they just decided to put dish soap on my pickles or C) they just got some crappy pickles.... moral of the story, don't f*ck with my pickles... read more

if you have 3 house to wast this is your place. service so slow sitting 1 hr and still no food people sitting around me no food this is a dinner right? wish I could review how good or bad the food is but guess what? still no food! read more

Went for breakfast recently and was disappointed. Menu did not have any of the classic combos. If you want to add meat to an egg dish it is like a side order. Therefore you pay more for breakfast than you should. Service was awful and there was no crowd. Finally the waitress gave me the wrong change. Not at all like the old days there read more

This place has good diner food and very nice staff. However, they do not currently have handicap parking. They opted to cover the handicap parking with an outdoor tent to accommodate additional tables. Three summers this tent has been in place with no handicap accommodations. Just wrong read more

This used to be a nice place. Went for dinner at 9pm last night, The food we got was cold and undercooked, how do you serve cold frys I don't know.Called the waitress 2 times was ignored because she was too busy talking too another worker who was sitting at the counter. I had too finnly yell for or waitress too come over Now I am upset told her the food was cold and left with the 2 waitress giving me dirty looks. Also seen the waitress wiping down milk and soda machines and counter with the same dirty rag. Seems they just wanted to close and head home. No one there supervising the place. Wont be going back and that's a shame because there are not many dinners left. read more

Yesterday we had lunch at the Glider with twelve other people; we met there from various locales in NY, PA & CT. I had a vegetarian omelet and they didn't even charge extra for egg whites. The omelet was just "fair" and it only had two eggs, but it came with delicious rye toast and it cost less than $5. I also got an order of sweet potato fries, which were *terrific* - and the portion was quite substantial for less than $3. My husband said his tuna melt sandwich was tasty, but the coffee was lousy. Our server was fairly pleasant and also humorous, although somewhat harried (and certainly it's rather difficult handling such a large group). They set up a large table for us in one of the back rooms (the diner is *much* larger than you'd ever guess from the front) and we sat there for more than two hours. Of course, we tipped very generously. :) read more

Stayed in Scranton on my way to the Finger Lakes the other weekend and we were looking for breakfast on our way out of town. I was trying to convince my brother and his GF that Perkins was the way to go, as the front desk at our hotel told me that it was on our way out of town and I used to love going to Perkins with my grandma when I visited her back in the day. My Brother would have none of it and solicited the advice of the parking lot attendant for a better spot. He directed us to Glider, and I'm glad he did. It was a cute little diner with tasty and insanely good priced food there. I had french toast for $2.50! The Juke Box, was pretty sweet too. The eggs were really good and the coffee was yums too. The bacon was fatty and soft, just like you would imagine it to be. I highly recommend this diner and wish it was sitting outside of my apartment so I could go there every day this weekend. read more

I don't know how Yelp new I wanted to rate this place when it suggested it, but I have been meaning to do so. I love the Glider Diner. I think so of the reviews don't give it its due. You need to compare apples to apples. The Glider is an old school diner. Nothing fancy, but its got great food at an affordable price. I have been there for dinner several times now and have yet to have a bad meal. The Glider has some of the best tasting "diner food" I have ever had. They have several specials and soups each night. Some of the specials I can endorse include chicken pot pie, chicken croquettes, and broiled cod. Sometimes fish at a diner can be questionable. At the Glider is was tremendous. They also have good vegetables which is surprising for a diner. In particular, their creamed spinach was the best I'd ever had. The prices are generally very reasonable. One thing to watch out for is that their drinks are a bit more expensive than most places. $2.25 for soda, tea or coffee. If you don't mind drinking water or plan on having refills that is the best way to get your bang for you buck. Also, the price difference between a cup and bowl of soup is negligible in price but sizable in quantity. So if you like soup, or are thinking about sharing, go with a bowl. I plan on trying to go to the Glider Diner at least once ever two weeks, so maybe I'll see you there. Also, the people that go there are ridiculously friendly. Great place to bring a family. read more

Food has got so bad here. I used to love coming here when I was younger but now the food is just crap. The hot roast beef is all fat and tastes like its old. read more

Glider Diner - Amazing Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Perfect diner experience from the building to the wait staff to the food. We were passing by Scranton around breakfast time and found the Glider Diner on yelp. I had the breakfast sandwich on a roll and it was really good. My daughter had the full breakfast. She asked for crispy bacon and it was perfectly done. The hash browns were just right. The waffles were rated as really, really good. But, do NOT leave without trying the cinnamon roll. It is huge. They cut it in half and grilled it. It alone is worth the trip. I can't say enough about the friendly wait staff. One of the waitresses even went out front to take a picture for us. Definately if you're in the area don't miss this diner! read more

Yum yum. Definitely a diner but unique theme from aircraft. Our waitress was super knowledgable and helpful she made some suggestions from various parts of the large menu. We tried two: hot open face roast beef with fries and gravy and eggs Benedict. We were both very pleased with the meal. Great flavor, great portion size. Try them both! If we are in the area again we will stop in! Thanks for a wonderful dining experience. Oh we also took dessert to go. Looks yummy! read more

Cheap food at cheap prices. Coffee is pretty bad for a diner, pancakes tasted plain, and sausages were burnt horribly. My girlfriend and I were not at all impressed with our meal and will not be returning. Plus it's a major hipster hangout.... Like the tight jean, thick rim glasses hipsters. read more

Great environment, hot roast beef and fries with gravy were excellent. Delicious pie for dessert. Not expensive.

Eh, it's cheap and taste good. maybe i was really hungry and the food just satisfied my hunger to the point where i thought it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!?!??! no. it cheap and taste good. read more

I have loved the glider for as long as I can remember- great breakfasts and normally more food than you can possibly eat in one sitting. However, it would be nice to sit at a table that doesn't slant to one side or move while you are eating. read more

We had a tasty meal at the Glider with a group of people and were pleased with the service, food and vintage stainless steel diner. The bacon I had was some of the best I've had in a long time, and they even let our group stay a while longer to chat while they were closing up- sweet! http://retroroadmap.com/2010/11/22/glider-diner-scranton-pa-a-vintage-diner-with-room-for-all/ read more

Ah, glider diner.... I have been coming here since I was a child. I came here last Friday with my 8 month old and it didn't disappoint. We were there at about 8am and it was fairly empty so we found a table right away. We ordered pancakes w strawberries on the side, eggs, home fries and toast. Our food came out fast. The strawberries were super fresh, the eggs light and fluffy and the same for the pancakes. Not to mention the price. For this heaping pile of food I paid a whooping $9 (not including tip) how can you go wrong? read more

Went to the glider diner with my friend for some breakfast. When we walked in we were shortly greeted and asked what we wanted to drink. The waitress right off the bat was not very friendly at all. We got our drinks first and then our food shortly after. My friend found a short thick black hair in her French toast. Like it still had a root attached to it. We called over the waitress and she simply nodded took the plate away and 5 or 6 min later came back with another plate of French toast. No apology no nothing. We actually still had to pay for the French toast at the end! My food was good nothing out of this world. I was mostly disgusted at the customer service. When we left we both had terrible stomach pains and were just overall not impressed. Will never EVER go back again. read more

Well decided to give it another try . It will be the last . The ham and bean soup had no flavor . My son had the boneless wings. They were only a few to an order , they were so hard he couldn't even chew them . read more

Glider Diner - Boneless wings - Diners Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

This is by far one of the most inexpensive diners I've ever eaten at. Burgers are under $6 and come with fries! I ordered a bacon and cheese omlet with a side of sausage. I wouldn't have bothered with the fine-but-unimpressive sausage if I knew my omelet came with toast and home fries for under $7. Our table of four ate to our heart's content for only $44. There isn't too much to say about this place. The food is fine for the most part, the staff was unremarkable in a good way (prompt, friendly), and the price is right. They were unable to seat our group of 10, but I don't blame them on a Sunday afternoon, the place was pretty busy. We split into four at a table and the other six right next to us at the counter and we were all basically sitting together, a small price to pay. The parking lot was really cramped, and we had to circle before getting a spot, but it seems the turnover is pretty quick. read more
