    The Herminie Diner turned out to be the perfect backdrop for a father-daughter breakfast that I didn't know I needed--but my 12 1/2-year-old daughter somehow did. These days, our quality time mostly consists of me asking her to put her phone down and her pretending not to hear me, so when she suggested breakfast on a Saturday morning, I threw myself into action like a guy late to a mid-life crisis yoga class. We landed at this charming little cash-only joint where the coffee flows freely, and the smiles are served as generously as the portions. I ordered the everything bagel sandwich loaded with sausage, egg, and cheese, which was so good I almost forgot I was still half-asleep. My daughter, meanwhile, ordered a pancake the size of a medium pizza, topped with strawberries and whipped cream. It was a sugary behemoth, a kind of breakfast Mount Everest that she nearly conquered in one sitting--an impressive feat given she had to dose for it like a breakfast chemist managing her type 1 diabetes. Watching her tackle that pancake made me prouder than I ever thought a flapjack could. The staff? Fantastic. The kind of cheery and attentive people who make you feel like they've been waiting their whole lives just to serve you breakfast. It's a rare skill these days. And let's talk about the price--it was shockingly reasonable. Compared to some other local breakfast spots where you have to take out a loan for bacon and eggs, Herminie Diner feels like an oasis of sanity. Just remember, they're cash-only, so unless you plan to barter pancakes for payment, come equipped with some greenbacks. Final verdict: The food was fantastic, the company even better, and if my daughter keeps choosing pancakes over Social Media, I'll be back every Saturday morning with bells on (and maybe a bigger wallet, just in case that pancake gets upgraded to "large pizza" size).

    After a quick detour we stumbled upon this gem of a diner. The family owner diner took me by surprise, as I set my expectations to a greasy spoon and boy was I wrong. I was first blown away by our wonderful waitress Penny, just an amazing woman full of cheer and a smile to spark your day! Our food arrived within minutes after ordering and piping hot freshly grilled potatoes, beautifully prepared Hollandaise sauce and poached perfection. The chef and owner Jerry is always available to his fan club (all the patrons) as he greats his regulars and the newbies. Great diner, great food and great people.... We even returned the next day to validate our experience by bringing more people and again awesome!! Thanks to Athena our waitress!! B

    This place is a gem in the Herminie area. The food is excellent and so is the service. The portions are large and everything is freshley made, as they should be in a rural type diner. I had two eggs over easy because I wanted to keep it light, but the homefries and large wheat bread had me stuffed. My wife had the veggie omlette, daughter had belgium waffles, and step son had bagel breakfast sandwich. All were very good. The pictures with this review do not lie! I live in the area and first went here when we moved here three years ago. We don't eat breakfast out much, so we don't frequent this place often. That is the only reason! If you are in the area, I would highly recommend the Herminie Diner. You won't be disappointed.

    I think i might have found one of the best diners i have ever been too...the pancake was perfect and as trump would say yuge.., seriously this was the size of a pizza!!! It was perfect had crisp edges, quality batter, it was just epically delicious, the omlette was fantastic, and the bacon was thick and cooked perfectly, the home fries were delish...i had great service and great food i have no negatives about the place, cute decor and a very nice owner(think it was the owner)... please note cash only but atm on site...100 percent the best diner outside the city and one of the best i ever been to!!! Bravo bravo

    A hidden gem! We stopped on the way home from a family vacation and we're so glad we went off the beaten path for this place! The pizza sized pancake should be landmark on the map! Delicious food and great service.

    This was our first visit, and overall it was a great experience…read more Grace, our server, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, polite, and all smiles throughout our visit. When an issue came up, she handled it quickly and professionally, which really stood out. We ordered the MegaBerry waffle, the sausage gravy waffle, and the loaded home fries. Unfortunately, the sausage gravy was broken, with oil separating and a grainy texture. Grace immediately apologized and removed it from our check without hesitation, which we greatly appreciated. Everything else was absolutely delicious. The loaded home fries were perfectly cooked, with great flavor and a fun mix of different potato types. The purple potatoes were our favorite. The waffles were light and fluffy, and the toppings on the MegaBerry waffle tasted fresh and vibrant. Despite the small hiccup, the service and the rest of the food more than made up for it. We would absolutely come back and look forward to trying more of the menu next time.

    2.5 stars overall. While the restaurant was fairly empty on a Saturday around noon, it took quite a…read morewhile to get seated. There were several groups, but the hostess never acknowledged us. Food running was also super slow with only a handful of tables, as there were about 8 plates under the warmer waiting to be ran to the table. Prices are steep for the area, which is on par with the rumors. For example glass of chocolate milk was $4... I could get a gallon for that. Bacon as a side was not very good. Possibly bad quality, definitely overcooked and for $4.50 for three pieces, I'd skip it. Ambiance was fine - the place was a bit messy and could have used a quick clean and refresh (e.g. chairs aligned and pushed in) and so could the bathroom.

    We came for dinner one night while we were in the area visiting. We had a reservation and were…read moreseated quickly at a table next to the bar. I really enjoy that the pasta is fresh and the menu isn't 40 pages long. It's straight to the point and you know what you're getting based on what is listed under the pasta shape. My short rib ricotta gnocchi was good but I do wish it had a bit more salt to bring more of the flavor to the front. The gnocchi texture was perfect and pillowy. The short rib mixed in nicely with all of the pasta and the sauce. My spouse enjoyed the cannelloni, which was pretty much their lasagna but also wanted a bit more salt. Our server was very nice and walked us through the menu options as well as told us about the seafood special for the night. The bread came out first and was delicious. The salad was also good and I don't usually like arugula. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and I enjoy that they take the time to do that. The space is very cute and you can't really miss it even with it being in an executive building. It's a smaller area but it can seat a good amount of people. We noticed they had a pasta making class so maybe next time we're in town, we can do it. The red sangria had a great balance where it wasn't too sweet. We didn't do dessert but we did enjoy the digestif at the end with limoncello and my spouse ate the amaretti cookies as I couldn't.

The pasta shapes are unlike anything else you'll find in Western PA. They even offer complimentary limoncello and Amaretti cookies to end your meal, which is a really nice touch. They have family style options for groups who want to try a variety of dishes, but the menu is just as fitting for a date night. Bonus: the leftovers taste just as good the next day! The space can get a bit loud with high ceilings and a full house, but the lively energy reflects how much people are enjoying the experience. Service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. The owner even stopped by tables to check on guests. It's tucked inside an industrial park and may be a little tricky to find if you're unfamiliar with the area, but GPS and signage get you there without much trouble. Definitely worth the visit!

The portions here are huge and hearty! You get a lot of bang for your buck. What we ordered: -Stuffed Banana Peppers - these were HUGE and were really tasty! Definitely found a new fav appetizer -Fettucine du-Marie alfredo with jumbo tiger shrimp & scallops - I have to admit that I have not had an alfredo that is better than my homemade sauce, BUT this still hit the spot. The seafood portions were generous. -Side Caesar salad (comes with the pasta dish) - really big portion for a side salad which was nice! I liked that they added hard boiled eggs. Pretty good for a side salad. -Winter lemon drop cocktail - refreshing! Love a lemon drop -Complementary bread - yummy & loved that it was toasted -Pork chop & fried jumbo shrimp - my family's orders. I tried one of the fried shrimp and it was good! -Not pictured but my dad got the black angus strip - he ordered it rare but said it was a little overcooked. He said it was just good.

Let's start with the fried portobello mushrooms--they are absolutely out of this world. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Honestly, they're worth the trip alone. The portions at Rodney's are no joke either. The club sandwich is huge--stacked high, fresh, and exactly what a great club should be. And the Italian sandwich? Completely packed. Every bite is bold, hearty, and overflowing with classic Italian deli flavors. The atmosphere is a charming blend of an elevated restaurant and a cozy diner--comfortable, unpretentious, and welcoming in the best way. The staff is friendly and relaxed... maybe a bit too relaxed at times, but honestly, that's part of the charm. It never took away from the experience; if anything, it made the meal feel even more easygoing and enjoyable. Rodney's is one of those reliable hometown staples where you know you're going to get a great meal, generous portions, and a laid-back vibe. A true Irwin favorite.

    After an extremely long sixteen hour shift at work I knew I needed one thing before I headed home…read moreand slept for a majority of the day. That one day was a greasy, heavy breakfast. Something that would sit in my stomach and make me feel satisfied. Quick search on Yelp to find a diner like setting for such and this was the nearest to where I was at that point in my commute. Keystone Kitchen sits in a plaza off of Route 22 in New Alexandria, from the outside it doesn't look like much. Once you go inside it looks like a country cabin diner, if that makes sense. The sounds in here are those of a diner and the smells are that of a diner. However, what is different is the decor. Kind of like a hunting cabin with the wood decor that is everywhere. The tables and booths were well used, making me know that this place is well liked and frequented enough to make it a local staple. When I came in I was greeted right away and told I could sit wherever I wanted. Shortly after finding a seat I had a menu in hand and a drink order placed. I was left to look over the menu. At the time of the visit I got to look over the breakfast menu. I was especially craving biscuits and gravy. My mind just kept telling me that and I was going to just order a combo with that as a side. That is until I made myself look over the menu one more time. That's when I spot the number 5 combo breakfast meal. That combo would give me everything that I needed at that moment in time. The number five combo is two eggs cooked they way you like, choice of either breakfast potatoes or hash browns, and the biscuit and gravy I was craving. I went with two dippy eggs (that's sunny side up for you non-western Pennsylvanians) and hash browns to accompany my biscuit and gravy. When it showed up in front of me, I couldn't wait to dig into that plate. I didn't know it, but I was starving. The eggs were perfect, cut into them and the yolks started running all over the plate, that was perfect to me. The hash browns had that outer crust on them that gave you the crunch and the inner parts were that warm potato that just hits you. Best part about it is that you can mix them with either the runny egg yolk or the extra gravy that definitely spilled over from the biscuit. The biscuit and gravy, oh my god, amazing. The biscuit is made in house which means they are fresh and tasty. The gravy has this sweet and savory mix going for it. The pieces of sausage in the gravy are amazing little pops of flavor. Little bit of spice in there, but everything balances out. It really livens up the dryness of the biscuit. This meal was what I set out for, satisfying. The service here, way above the bar. I mean there is great service and then there is Keystone Kitchen. Very attentive, interacting with everyone in here, letting you know who the regulars are, and very on top of their game. I really enjoyed the meal, it hit the spot and definitely put me to sleep when I finally did home for morning.
