If you want a good home cooked meal, this is the place to go. You can get breakfast all day. The food is very generous and nice and hot. I always get so much food, I take home enough for another meal. The employees are always upbeat and the view while eating is great because this is where police officers and firefighters come to eat. Defiantly one of my usual places to go. read more

We are in town for a baseball tournament and Hazels was a recommended spot for breakfast. It did not disappoint. It was very crowded with wha looked like a local crowd. Breakfast was hot and delicious. Potatoes could have been crispier and the coffee was a bit weak. Otherwise, it was a very warm and friendly place. read more

Hazel's Restaurant - Menu - Diners Near Me - New Castle, Pennsylvania

We were quickly greeted and seated. (We found a parking spot right out front.) Our server was very kind and brought us drinks soon after we sat down. My cousin ordered a cheeseburger and fries. I had breakfast. My husband ordered a hot sausage sandwich. Our food was good. The restaurant was clean. Our server was attentive. I paid up front at the hostess desk, and noted that if you use a credit card you get an up charge which is very common nowadays. read more

Great service, really good breakfast, we will definitely come back. You know it's a good sign when the parking is full!

If you're looking for a high class dining experience, this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a friendly local eatery with smiling faces. This is for you. The food was cooked to perfection. The service, impeccable. Our group of 8 patrons all very much enjoyed our meals ranging from breakfast to fish to chicken. Great Job Hazel's!!!! read more

Looks modest from the outside, but...we're glad we read the great reviews. Service was immediate and Gyros were the BEST we've ever had!

Yes, old school great service and delicious breakfast food does exist. Simple seating and counter service. read more

Hazels is the place to go for a home cooked meal. I always get their meat skillet breakfast. The sausage gravy is yummy. The service is amazing. read more

Great food at very reasonable prices, quaint interior reminds me of where my dad and his friends would meet up back in New Castle's heyday Valentine's restaurant . Service was great, thanks Ashley. Always a stop when I'm in town, read more

Best breakfasts in town and very reasonably priced. A true hidden gem. Family atmosphere, great food and service.

I found Hazel's service to be wonderful, the food however fell flat. Can no one make corned beef hash anymore? (Not that garbage from a can either) But they don't even offer the dog food. (hash from a can) Prices and portions were good but quality just wasn't there for us. As for the restaurant itself? It's an old school diner. Just like you'd expect. However you can still smell that lingering cigarette smell and the lighting was almost disturbing. Sorry Hazel's. read more

The best breakfasts in town! Always fresh, hot and delicious! So reasonably priced and quick service. Great variety! I visit once a month. I get the Greek omelette that is huge. Enough for 2 more breakfasts! Love Hazels read more

Solid restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is really good. Their breakfast is delicious especially the French toast. Their burgers are yummy and the salads are huge although I think there could be more veggie choices for them, like cucumber, but the ranch makes up for it. I also think the broccoli cheddar soup was surprisingly flavorful maybe a pinch salty for my taste but worth a try. All in all this is a staple to new castle and for good reason. read more

Some of the best breakfast food I've ever had, it was out to us in less than 10 minutes with not one thing wrong with any of it!! Some of the best coffee, with the best service. I'm pretty set in my ways when It comes to having a favorite restaurant (thank you seas waffle house) but Hazels has taken it to the next level. read more

Was one of the best restaurants in New Castle, but over the last year the food has gotten worse, servers are great (especially Peg).

A good old fashion restaurant with great breakfast. Even the coffee was good, which is a rarity these days. The service was quick and the waitresses friendly. The prices are very reasonable. I'll return and try their lunch and update this review. read more

The best breakfast ever. no one can match the quality, price and choices of items. always fresh and hot! love you Hazel

Always the recommended breakfast spot if you grew up here! Awesome food, service and you'll always see a familiar face!

First time here and I'm sure the manager or owner knew from when myself and my children walked in. He greeted us nicely. Awesome customer service. From the time we walked in until the time we left. They were busy but the wait wasn't long at all. Our server came right over and food was out within 10 minutes. Thank you guys so much read more

Excellent service in a nice little diner. First time eating back in a restaurant since all the badness started. We had breakfast that we all enjoyed. Good pancakes and good bread for toast. I usually like lunch type stuff for breakfast but was told they do not do lunch until 11am. They we're sticking to the new rules and everything was fine. Thanks for the good breakfast. read more

See all

This has become my new diner of choice. I love local spots where community happens and this checks all the right boxes. The food is solid, standard, diner fare with prompt, friendly service and great prices. If you go at the same time two days in a row, you'll likely enjoy your food with the exact same people. Not much else to say other than go in hungry, leave full, and it doesn't take long to go from one to the other. Recommend. read more

Wonderful stop on our trip. The food and staff was perfection! We love stopping at the local establishments as we drive through the towns on our journey. read more

Hazel's Restaurant - Eggs perfectly cooked, fried potatoes,bacon,blueberry muffin,toast & blueberry pancakes! - Diners Near Me - New Castle, Pennsylvania

Food and staff were amazing! Googled best place in New Castle for breakfast and went for it. Definitely happy!

Tl/dr: great breakfast and service at a real deal small town diner. I don't live in this town, but was driving through and needed breakfast. Staff were helpful and even offered to deliver our food to our car (This happened during the Pandemic). The food was ready in under ten minutes, was delicious, and affordable. If we ever come through town again I know where I am eating. read more

This is my weekend breakfast spot and they rarely disappoint. The food is good, the portions plentiful, and the service is always stellar. I have never stopped in for any of the other meals besides breakfast but I am hoping to when time permits. I also want to give the staff an extra shout-out for their attention-to-detail when it comes to instituting COVID preventive measures. This locally owned eatery has taken precautions most chain restaurants either haven't thought of or just don't want to be bothered with. I feel more comfortable/safe eating here than I do many of the other restaurants in the area. Hazels might be tucked away downtown, and it isn't the fanciest place in the area, but the food and service I have experienced so far have exceeded expectations. Other establishments could learn a few things from this place! read more

Hands down best potato soup around! I haven't been there in a while but when my grandma was alive we would get the soup all the time! All the other food is pretty tasty as well!! Definitely recommend stopping in! read more

Hazel's Restaurant - Amazing!!!!! - Diners Near Me - New Castle, Pennsylvania

You'll never be disappointed. Soups are homemade & delicious. All meals are very good. I've never had a bad meal there. City chicken is the best I've ever had!!! Only problem is I never have room for dessert. read more

With my husband on a business trip and happened into this place for lunch. I had probably the best vegetable omelet I have ever eaten. The peanut butter pie wasn't too bad either! read more

Perfect diner...breakfast served hot, great coffee...really great service. They also have Shenango China, which is amazing. They just don't make it like that anymore. read more

Super good diner food. Service was fast and friendly. Never see the bottom of my coffee cup. My husband claimed it was the best liver and onions he's ever had. My burger was huge and loaded with cheese. Would definitely recommend. read more

Classic eatery feel. Authentic home style cooking. Served on authentic Shenango Chine. This please is a throwback to a New Castle of old.

I feel like this place has gone down hill recently. I got a steak salad and I kid you not, every single piece had fat on it and I had to spit it out. We missed the lunch specials by 20 minutes, and they wouldn't give us the lunch special price and we were the only ones in there. The waitress was mediocre at best, pretty snippy. The decor is super outdated, but I kind of think that is what adds to the "charm". I will go back again because their breakfast is on point, but worst steak salads ever. read more

Great service and food!! Cindy was a doll! First time in New Castle and this was the highlight of our trip!! read more

Hazel's is a funny little restaurant in a funny part of the city but the food is anything but. You will be surprised by the volume and quality of their menu even though at times the place is a ghost town full of skeletons who once may have been quite attractive to the population of the city. None the less it appears to be a very warm family type place where you can be safe ordering just about anything, provided size doesn't matter. read more
