I'm in the middle with this diner. I prefer their lunch and dinner menu over breakfast. Super affordable but super basic. My first experience service was a little eh and our waitress wasn't attentive. We went back for lunch and service was great! It can get busy for breakfast! Overall, a good basic diner. read more

After 15 years away, we decided to stop by for breakfast before heading to the local farmers markets. Our booth and table were sanitized and wiped down, the breakfast menu is a 2 sided page for easy reading, and our waitress, Erica, was so sweet in her demeanor, hustling, smiling, in a good mood. The pernil omelette was bursting with pulled pork, ham, cheeses, topped with tomatoes; substantial offering accompanied with 2 slices of rye toast and home fried potatoes, $13.95. The breakfast feast plate included a combination of 2 eggs, home fries, 2 fluffy pancakes and side of meat. $13.95. Everything we needed was brought to the table, syrup, butter, napkins, extras and didn't even have to ask for it! Signs of a seasoned waitress. Loved the whole experience. read more

Fantastic, great service, great food and no heart burn. Highly recommended. Waitresswas great and prices were pre Trump era. read more

I enjoyed the pernil omelette it was very delicious great job. I didnt have my sazon and adobo with me. But I still enjoyed my food.

Stopped here for lunch while heading out from a little ways down the road for a trip to the Poconos. Typical diner atmosphere. Simple offerings, but hearty servings. My chicken salad sandwich was tasty and had enough chicken salad in it for four sandwiches!! I don't remember what my husband had, but he enjoyed it very much. Service was pleasant, but nothing special. Would definitely stop again for a casual breakfast or lunch. read more

The wait staff is still one of the best in the area, but the kitchen is starting to take short cuts and is getting careless. 1.Omelets missing ingredients (no chorizo in the fully loaded Mexican). 2.Eggs are not much bigger than what you get from a Quail (order the Avocado Toast and you'll see). 3. Nachos Supreme with less than a tablespoon of chili, and banana peppers instead of the stated jalapenos. 4. Frequently running out of rye bread (there's a large chain supermarket 5 minutes away that has plenty) read more

Adequate is the term, food was okay not awful but not good enough that I want to come back. Flavorless and bland. If you use a credit card beware they up charge you without telling you ahead of time. It's clean so it's got that going for it. Bacon and Canadian bacon were over killed, my pork loving hubs left both sit. read more

It is hard to find a good diner, with real diner food and service which seems like you are talking to an old friend. The Hellertown Diner is a real gem at the end of town. Parking is adequate...a tad scattered, however you are not far from the entrance. I was greeted and seated promptly. The interior is nothing special but comfortable/ modern but not overbearing which is exactly what you want. A young gal took care of my service needs nicely. I had a bona fide patty melt and fries and that was just great. And of course, you need a slice of pie and coffee to finish things up. Price was fair for the food quality and I was told by some locals its a well established spot. Good to hear. I look forward to visiting another time...by the way, don't change a thing! read more

I've been coming to the Hellertown diner for many years. I've had a few little problems where they've left off the chicken on my salad and I drove all the way home only to discover I was charged and it wasn't on the salad. That's one thing. What I experienced on Monday was a whole new level. I was eating my Greek salad and I tasted something absolutely disgusting and bitter. I spit out my bite and there was a green stink bug in it. I ran to the kitchen to rinse my mouth out and came back to find the bug scurrying across the table. I called the restaurant to tell them that they need to actually *wash* the lettuce because there was a pretty big bug in my salad and there was no apology, no offer to comp the salad, nothing. I don't think their "regular" customers mean anything to them. I go there twice a week and I don't think I will ever trust them again. Deeply disappointed. read more

We have been many times since it's under new ownership for approximately the last year. So much better than it was. I do recommend sticking to breakfast or sandwiches which is what they do best. The service has also been great and very attentive. It's a traditional diner feel. read more

This is a beautiful diner. Grateful for waitress bringing food right away while still hot. Short stack pumpkin pancakes were good, just looked so different from each other. Didn't like powdered sugar on pancakes; brushed a lot of it off. Coffee was good and it was smooth, not bitter like many of the coffees I've tried at restaurants over the years. read more

Since changing ownership, the prices have definitely increased. Spent $46 today on a mediocre lunch for two. The split pea soup, which came with my lunch, was not very tasty and had some undercooked pieces of split peas in it. My husband's cup of chili was overly sweet. His chicken wings were decent. I had the fish tacos that came with 4 slices of avocado on it, not mentioned in the description on the menu. I have a terrible food sensitivity to avocado. I never thought to ask if it was going to be on fish tacos. The fish was over fried and hard. The slaw that was on top was drenched in a thousand island type dressing. Strange and not good! Our waitress was sweet and attentive. The breakfasts are decent however the price point is definitely high for a diner. read more

Great Salad. Dressing has a little kick. Greens were fresh and crispy with at least a half of Avocado. Def get it again read more

We tried takeout from the Hellertown diner after it's been under new ownership and we were not impressed. First, their prices are a little steep. We can go to the coop in Coopersburg for better quality and cheaper prices. Second, I ordered the chicken avocado wrap and it was $14 and said it came with fries or soup, coleslaw and a pickle. I upgraded to French onion soup to go but there was no coleslaw or pickle with the wrap. The soup was okay... I don't expect it to be amazing since it's something that's doesn't usually travel well but the flavor was just okay... My husband got the patty melt who also got soup instead of fries but no coleslaw or pickle with his meal either. He had the seafood bisque and that was really really good! The patty melt was dry unfortunately. The wrap was okay. Not something I would order again. Not the best for our first time trying after new ownership, but hoping they have a better breakfast... read more

WON"T BE BACK !!! Service was great, food mediocre diner fare (order your 2 eggs and meat from the regular menu since it is $1 cheaper than the same item on the Specials menu) . BUT then came the check ---- "operating fee of $1.60" and a "discounted cash total" which translates to me paying their credit card service charge. Gimmicks all aimed at their customer base -- Well like I said WON'T BE BACK !!!!! read more

What a great local diner. The service was fast and server was super friendly. Had an omelet and enjoyed it.

Not impressed 1st warning sign - The diner is empty at breakfast hour- there were few other diners (2 couples and a man) at 9AM. 2nd warning sign - Waitress did not appear pleased to see us. Certainly not welcoming - I looked at my spouse and asked - Should we stay or go elsewhere? response was "Let's just try it...We're here already" 3rd warning sign - The menus were plastic coated and were stuck to the paper place mats on the table. I pulled them up and they were sticky on both sides and stuck together. My fingers were sticky after that. Food - - The home fries were like mashed potatoes that had been browned on one side. They were not home fries that I was ever familiar with such as sliced/cubed and fried - The butter on the toast was cold and "gooey". It didn't look like butter - It had a mayonnaise-like consistency. Enough so that I decided to forego eating my toast. And I love toast. - Sausage gravy - incredibly bland. Very few sausage bits, no pepper and no flavor whatsoever. It's like the recipe for a serving called for 1/4 cup of flour and someone added 3 cups of flour to make it last for more than 1 serving. - Otherwise the eggs were great , the coffee hot and juice cold and sweet (Juice glass was tiny) My recommendation - Not a place we would return to and spend ~$40 on a couple of breakfasts. We left realizing we could have simply visited McDonalds across the street and gotten a simple breakfast sandwich and a friendly smile for much, much less. read more

Menu is large, food is pretty average in my opinion. Nothing stood out as amazing, but nothing was bad either. I got the French onion soup and cheesesteak and was happy with my meal. Service was excellent. read more

Hellertown Diner - Crock of French Onion Soup - Diners Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

Hellertown is the last sizeable town on the way north from Bucks County to Bethlehem in Northampton. It was a logical breakfast stop during an early morning drive to the car dealer for repairs. The diner by that name I found on Yelp with reasonably decent reviews, so that was our stop. The facility sits at the north end of the Hellerstown Shopping Center, dressed in dark yellow adobe, with entre at the side of the building. It is somewhat dated with booths, tables and short counter in two rooms, yet clean and efficiently run. It seems to be a gathering spot for the social security crowd, with large menu and discounted specials. We chose the Greek Omelet (w home fries and rye toast) and Sunnyside Up Eggs (potatoes & wheat). Both were substantial, with mundane coffee as part of the plan. The omelet plate was interestingly presented with straight edges for the fries and egg mix, like the grill had sections with metal walls separating each order. Even the fried eggs came with some of the same square corners. Too, everything was unusually thin and flat as if compressed. This process didn't really change the taste of everything, but did reduce the amount of ingredients involved. Small mugs for the java with only one refill offered early in the meal when not much had been consumed. Modern credit card system with screen to select percentage tips starting at 18%. We left a cash gratuity on the table and skipped this annoyance. It was subtle, but this Hellerstown Diner displayed an ungenerous spirit which did not welcome a return by these travelers. read more

This evening I was extremely tired so I stopped at the Hellertown diner to get a cup of coffee. It took the cashier ten minutes to ring in the coffee! She literally pressed button after button after button. When she finally got done she stood there and looked at me. I said, "are you getting me my coffee?" The cashier said, "that's the servers job not mine." Me: "You're not doing anything you get me the coffee!" Then they were all out of coffee so they had to brew a fresh pot. It took me fifteen minutes to get a cup of coffee! The entire time I was so incredibly tired and I was about ready to keel over on my feet. Worst customer service experience ever! I will never set foot in there again. I could have driven to Guatemala and stomped the beans myself and it would have been faster! read more

This is your typical Americana diner in everyway possible. * Large menu * Refrigerated dessert case upfront as soon as you walk in * Overall prompt service * Prices which are a little on the high side but overall not too bad Overall most of the reviews are right on with a few of the criticisms. Number one would be that the portions are huge but the food is indeed very, very bland. I've only ever come for breakfast but the eggs taste like nothing, the big ass slab of homefries that you're given with a lot of the entree choices are completely unseasoned to the point that sucking on a raw potato would taste the same and the bacon is usually limp and soggy even when you ask for it to be crisp. I've learned to stick with less "technical" things like the pancakes or the french toast. The place is usually packed even on weekdays but as others have also mentioned I don't think that necessarily is indicative of what they're rendering as much as the lack of options in the immediate area. I mean what are your nearby choices? This and the McD's across the street. After that it's either three or four miles to the nearest option which is a Waffle House and then you're going a few more miles into Bethlehem so they know they have a captive audience. Also as a word to the wise, I wouldn't try to skip out on the bill or complain about anything. If you do, the owner might choose to go Dirty Harry on you. patch.com/pennsylvania/hellertown/diner-owner-tells-npr-why-he-openly-carries-a-gun read more

Breakfast tacos with pulled pork were delightful. Very large portions. Corned beef hash was delicate and tasty. Good coffee.

I am giving this diner three stars because it's usually a good experience but our last experience was not the best. On July 12 my mother in law and I came here for lunch. I ordered the chicken salad on a Kaiser roll with American cheese. As I was eating it, I bit down on something hard and here was a chicken bone in my chicken salad. I called the waitress over and told her. She offered to make me another sandwich and I declined because: 1. I was squicked out about finding a bone in my chicken salad 2. I'd eaten half of my sandwich. She told me she'd let the chef know and left the table. I ate the rest of my sandwich but I really didn't enjoy it. I took this picture. When we went to pay, my mother in law showed the hostess the picture because my phone was low on battery. She asked me if I was offered another sandwich and I said I was but I declined because of the above two reasons. She said well if it happens again just take another sandwich and that they make the chicken salad fresh. We weren't offered a discount or anything. The picture is the actual picture taken on the 12. As you can see the bone wasn't exactly small. I could have choked. We won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Hey. It's a diner and by diner standards. This place is great. At least breakfast is affordable in some places.

The food was very good, the service however was a bit slow. As far as the ambiance, it's a diner.

Stopped for breakfast on Monday. Had the eggs and hash, great rye toast. Had trouble getting my decaf coffee cup filled, and only ever got 3 creamers. Food was good and came out pretty fast. They had to make another pot of decaf coffee so that took a while and only ever got two cups and three creamers. read more

I love this diner! Whether I'm with my husband and kids or with my girlfriends it's always a great atmosphere and food is delicious!

lowkey have a crush on one of the waitresses.. anyways, my family comes here when we eat out and they have the best salads ever i wont lie.

DO NOT GO HERE! Your hours say open till 10pm. My husband just went there with our 2 kids under 5 and stood out in the rain while your horrible staff told them through the glass that you were closed and when questioned on hours , your staff simply gave a dumb ignorant answer "our hours vary". well it does not say that online or anywhere else. It says on your website 10pm and social media also confirmed operating hours. My son was looking forward to eating there because they have been there countless times and have spent a lot of money at your restaurant only to be treated like beggars at the door from your staff tonight and turned away with such poor pathetic customer service. Best believe I will spread the word that this place could care less about their customers who support their local business. Thank you for reminding me why I will not be supporting your business anymore. read more

This was our first time here and probably wouldn't return. Staff was very friendly, but the food was mediocre for the prices. Breakfast for 2 ended up costing us $40 which in my opinion is pretty steep for 2 regular omelettes an extra pancake and 1 coffee. After paying the bill with cash the hostess indicated that they will discount the price because they have a "credit card fee" built in. Not exactly sure where they're "building" that in, but I can tell you after looking at the menu online the prices there differ $1-$2 for some of the menu. Take my opinion for what it's worth, but I found the bill transaction to be a little deceptive and is ultimately the reason we won't be back. read more

We ordered dinner through Grubhub- Hellertown Diner is local to us but I am on crutches and it's just easier. We know it's not the greatest diner in the Lehigh Valley but it's usually better than what we had tonight! I ended up throwing away 95% of the food, it was so disgusting. Start off with I ordered 2 pieces of cheesecake-- 1 Plain; 1 cherry. First phone call- They didn't have cherry... ok give me 2 pieces of plain. Next phone call. They only have 1 piece of plain.. fine. Give Me the one piece of plain and whatever else you have. Instead they sent 2 pieces of DISGUSTING Peanut butter pie-Crap. The only thing I hate more than peanut butter is liver... neither of us eat peanut butter-- into the trash can that goes... pure vomit material--- My friend ordered a cheeseburger. It was supposed to come with Lettuce; tomato etc. --nope-- it came as a dry- overcooked-cold- inedible piece of meat on a stale bun... with some overcooked cold potato wannabes... --into the garbage can went her dinner as well--- And I ordered French toast and bacon. Now seriously... how hard is it to screw up bacon and French toast??? Guess what... the person that call's themselves a cook at Hellertown Diner must not have paid attention when mommy made French toast.., cuz that crap was just nasty and the bacon was gross too. The entire meal was a waste of money ($48) Never again-- I'll drive past you to eat elsewhere!! Even Macdonald's has better quality food Total fail read more

sincerely digusting And so overpriced. Like 8 or $9 for a white bread grilled cheese and $17-18 dollars for a small bowl of spaghetti which was honestly the worst thing I've ever had. It made me sick. The food is always lukewarm or cold and looks like it was sitting around before they bring it out to you. I've really tried to give them a chance and ordered different items over several visits only because my young son is a picky eater and likes the grilled cheese, but every single thing we've ordered has been gross - undercooked, overcooked, mushy, soggy, cold, and stale. The burger buns are so stale they crumble. The spaghetti wasn't even spaghetti. It was over cooked noodles with sloppy brown gravy. So gross. Their chicken salad was gross and drowned in dressing. Their wings dry. They're chicken dry. Everything is horrid, and so unbelievably overpriced. I can't stress any of this enough. We were patrons for years but the service and food has gotten so bad we'll never go back again. read more

I've only been here once but I won't return. First my girlfriend and I were seated at a dirty table. After being seated the bus boy came by and cleaned our table by brushing all the crumbs from the table onto our laps with a soggy rag. The food was just ok. Then upon receiving the bill my girlfriend realized the price for one of our breakfasts didn't match the price on the menu (it was $2 more). Sub-par service, mediocre food and misleading prices. No thanks. read more
