Breakfast Burrito with grilled vegetables and home fries.
Tracy B.

Food was good, the environment was unique, and the team was friendly. Typical diner food serving breakfast and lunch. Will be back.

Social hour

Setting aside the fact this is a family small business that deserves patronage. I don't see how anyone rates this beyond a one. It's charming sure but full of workers who are bowed in morning prayer (glued to their cellphones). No one looks up. Paper bowl and plastic? The server literally dumped my bowl and wordlessly shuffled off. They were all so engaged in chitchat I had to get up and ask for things. This is a regular priced restaurant with CHEAPLY executed average quality food and no service. Today there are six workers in a chat circle behind the counter. I just don't see why anyone would come back twice. I'm going /

Steak and cheese omelette
mia k.

Cute little diner, delicious food, friendly atmosphere and great service. Came to check out this breakfast spot with a friend, and we were not disappointed! They have custom coffee cups and serve local coffee (gotta look up the name, but I checked out the coffee shop day before coming here), how awesome is that?!!! We both got the steak omelette and it was delicious! The only downside is that they use paper plates and plastic utensils, but I think that may be due to covid? Next time I'm visiting this will be on the list of breakfast spots for sure!

Grandma's Diner is a wonderful place to get breakfast in the morning in Charles Town WV. If you're looking for a more local feel and good food. It's a little cramped in the restaurant but the owners have been responsive to The CDC's Covid 19 guidelines and so they limit the number of customers in the restaurant. There is no outdoor seating but they do delivery though Grub Hub. I had the steak and cheese omelet with hash browns and rye toast. I thought it was delicious. When you arrive, you will see that's it's a family restaurant and the owners are extremely friendly. I found the prices are fair and reasonable. I would recommend stoping by to try it if you are in the area or are passing though Charles Town, West Virginia.

This is an amazing diner located in downtown Charles Town that serves breakfast and lunch. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and the prices are very cheap! I highly recommend this local diner if you are in the area.

I really think supporting local small businesses is important these days but I should have gone to McDonald's (same quality) . Went in, sat down, no acknowledge. The group of 4 that came in after me were. Few minutes later the waitress came to take my order, ordered my coffee and coke and my breakfast. My breakfast came out in literally 5 minutes but I didn't have my drinks. The girl just acted like I wasn't even there and continued to serve the other table their food and drinks. I waved her down and asked for my drinks. Then nothing after that, Coke went empty and nothing was asked about how my food was. Anyway, I hate when staff acts like it's a hassle to deal with customers who are paying for service and good food. Bacon-flabby sausage-ok eggs-broken yolk homefries-tasteless and undercooked PAPERPLATES??? Saved the best for last, if you want to get sick, this is the place to go. I went to pay, the waitress was putting some food together and wiped her bare hands on her pants before touching the computer and my debit card. GROSS! The cook lady had no gloves on and had a slab of bacon out putting it on the griddle and touching the spatchula WITHOUT washing her hands.... You can make people sick by these actions. At least if your kitchen is visible to customers, practice cleanliness please. In the end, I had to find a bathroom immediately after I got into my car to leave. Basically paid $20 to take a crap... I will not return here at all nor recommend to anyone.

If I order Jalapeños on my sandwich, and you bring me fresh peppers rather than canned peppers, you have a loyal customer in me.... I love this former 'White Castle' diner in charming downtown Charlestown WV... The food is good, the prices are quite reasonable, and the staff is extra friendly. What more could you want??

Having breakfast!

Serviceable diner, food. I did ask for my eggs over easy and they came well done. And the paper plates and plastic ware were not optimal.

David and his crew are always on top of it, and the food is amazing. An old school, small town diner with friendly staff and patrons.

came here for dinner twice while staying at the Inn for a little getaway. everything was very tasty…read moreand well made. they have unique dishes on the menu which makes for an interesting dining experience. service was excellent too. the tables are in the main house of the Inn which is a really old and quaint building. the decor is so beautiful. our first night our table was in front of a wood burning fireplace which was lit and tended to by our waitress. this place is completely off the beaten path and in the middle of nowhere. if we were ever in the area again, we would definitely stop by. also, the restaurant serves a fantastic breakfast which is only open to guests at the Inn.

We stayed at the Inn for 3 nights, during which time we had 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner here. The…read morebreakfasts were included with our stay, and were very nice - 2 courses each with juice and coffee. We agreed they were definitely worth the $30ish tab for 2 they would have been if we weren't guests of the inn. The dinner we had was good, but not amazing. There was only one choice available for the first two courses, and two for the main course. We don't eat pork so we both had scallops for dinner. The first two courses (a gazpacho and shrimp+grits kind of deal) were both good, but it was really the scallops that won us over; they were delicious. The cheese plate for dessert had 1 kind of cheese, and we were disappointed there were no dessert options involving chocolate. Overall, we had a nice meal, but didn't really think it warranted the $250 we spent.

Food was excellent! Except when service wasn't…read more. The server was excellent on the greeting! She was sweet, formidable and charismatic! She took the food order for the kids.... The food came excellent! Thank you to the kitchen!! We placed the order and the tuna steak came out excellent! However the burger was stupid raw!!!! I asked to not get another since our children had eaten their food already and they enjoyed it! Thank you once again to the kitchen!! The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was as quaint as you would expect!! The tuna was cooked PERFECT! Thank you to the kitchen staff!!! I asked for the check and paid it ....(despite the fact that the waiter disappeared for over 15 mins and I had to walk to the bar to ask for it!!) Left a tip and then proceeded to leave the restaurant and head to our car since both kids hadn't slept and it was past 8 pm (when I overheard the following...) Once again the server was kind and charismatic despite ignoring us in an empty restaurant where she had 3 tables when we arrived and two when we left. As we were walking out of the restaurant, the server, had the stones to show my signed check, with a 10% tip, as was warranted after ignoring us, serving me raw food and not coming back for along time.... (Sorry kitchen but the raw burger was on you for this one!) And she, had the gall to brag to another table of patrons, showing the receipt in my wife's face, that were taking away from her money, when she provided poor service!! I wouldn't dream of having her fired, hence the reason I'll never name her. " she might have had a bad day!", BUT I want her to learn a lesson about treating every customer with respect! My wife and kids didn't deserve a poor experience for our first time in your restaurant! Be kind. Be loving and understanding! Everyone can have hardships in life, as we all do, but if you're in this industry, be kind, be watchful and give a care about your job!! You never know the negative impact you can leave for fellow strangers, especially little children that enjoyed Harper's Ferry for the first time! Overall, the restaurant is excellent, food is excellent and the vibe is 8/10!

Drove into Charlestown and thought Irish sounded good…read more Was seated and took more than 20 minutes for someone to take our orders. We almost left before someone not covering that section came and helped us. I got corned beef and cabbage. The cabbage had no flavor and the carrots that came with was mush. The corned beef tasted okay if not a little fatty. We will pass next time.
