Nice family feeling
Debra R.

We've had the same waitress the couple other times we were there. Despite their closing at 2:00 they were still very nice at 1:30. I had a BLT and they had a gf bagel. My husband had pork chops and they were great. We really love it here.

Greek wrap. Egg, feta, Kalamata olives & tomato

The food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. Had a Greek breakfast wrap, with fresh, homemade home fries! Hubby had Spanish omelet. Coffee, the best around!

My wrap i ordered- Greek wrap
Kaye L.

The food is more expensive than most diners I've been to, and there were eggshells in my wrap!!! That's a huge sensory ICK for me, and I really don't want to pay for my wrap now. Sucks that I have to. Because I can't even finish the wrap as intended. Also the food Took a long time, about 30 minutes which is a long time compared to past diner experiences. The only really nice thing about it was the waitress. She gave my daughter a little cup of jelly beans, which was much appreciated.

Look for the sign, next to Sunoco!
Laura R.

We haven't stopped here in years, so glad they are still open! It's much brighter inside than I remember - vivid paint colors - with booths and tables, high chairs if you need them too. The entrance is a steep ramp but doable for a walker or wheelchair (maybe with assistance). Bathrooms are gender-specific, but one at a time so really either could be used if there is a line. We were seated promptly, staff brought drinks, and the team was quickly cleaning up tables and checking the bathrooms while we were there. It was not crowded for a rainy Saturday lunchtime, but that was okay because aisle our food came out very quickly after we ordered. Kim took good care of us and checked on us twice. We had tea which came with an extra pot of hot water, and Kim still offered us more hot water! My Greek omelette was fluffy and delicious. Lots of feta and tomato inside! Hubby eggs were over medium (instead of easy) but still good. Lots of potatoes for each of us and neither of us finished them or the toast (choice of white, wheat, rye & sourdough). We will definitely remember to stop back when in the area!

Blueberry waffle

The Scarlet Vetter says.....we were in Corning for a driving event on a Saturday and stayed over so we looked for a good brunch option near by. Found this place in Yelp and decided to give it a whirl. Cute atmosphere. Expansive menu. Pleasant service. Breakfast was excellent. I would definitely encourage anyone to check this place out!

Scrambled eggs, home fries and turkey sausage are gluten free options.

Wonderful, friendly service. Some gluten-free options. Staff explained which menu items can be GF. They don't have GF bread. The breakfast was delicious!

Happened to be passing through the area on a road trip with 5 friends on a Tuesday afternoon. Of course, we could always stop at a McDonald's any day, but how often do you get to try a local, quirky spot? We were greeted warmly, sat quickly, and our food and drinks came shortly after. We had a fairly large group and the waitress was more than patient with us taking our time and looking over the menu. The food was classic diner comfort foods, and everything came out exactly as ordered. Fries were crisp and delicious, clubs were a good size, and everyone was pretty happy with their meals. It's no Michelin star restaurant, but this is Painted Post, NY we're talking about. The food is solid and affordable. Definitely worth a try if you're passing through, and always nice to support a family owned business with good people!

Menu

Great for breakfast or lunch. Huge portions - pancakes are full plate size (about 10") so 2 were plenty. Can add on sides (e.g , bacon etc) to main entrees for less than the a la carte cost. I had 2 pancakes and 2 eggs with a side of bacon. One pancake was slightly overcooked on one side but that was the only dowside. Sandwiches we saw at other tables were huge. Can be busy but wait was short. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. We're in town for the Wineglass marathon and they had a sign welcoming runners - and the large portions fit the bill

Irish Benny Breakfast
Mike C.

Definite banger of a restaurant in the surrounding Corning area. Crowded when we arrived however we were sat within ten minutes from arriving. I went with an item I never had before the Irish Benny. This item is poached eggs, cheddar cheese melted, corned beef, on an English muffin. Really was spectacular in flavor and very fulling. The girlfriend went with the sausage, egg, and cheese which was accompanied with a side of Pico De Gallo. There was a lot of I want to say garlic flavoring throughout the sandwich. Perhaps a little too much flavoring, maybe this was a one off or the pico was overly seasoned. The service was exceptional and the food hit the spot. Affordable and quick. I recommend trying it out if you are in the area. As always people SYOY!!!

Breakfast!
Brian P.

One of my favorite places to grab breakfast in the extended Corning area. Always busy when we visit but the wait staff are very quick and attentive. They are quick to fill your coffee cup which is one of the things I look for. Breakfast and brunch are great options. We started with sharing a cinnamon roll warmed up with our coffee and chocolate milk. Pancakes, omelettes, frittatas are all represented. Today I decided on having some eggs over easy, toast, corn beef hash and home fries. I really like their home fries they have the right balance of crisp outside and tender warm inside. I would only add onion but that's a personal preference for me. Never a bad experience here!

Don't be deterred by physical appearance. While upon walking in, you might wonder if maybe it…read morewasn't a good idea. However, allow your eyes to wander and imagine what this place must have been like when Corning was just a factory town. University pennants, newspaper clippings, and English pub-esque booth seating are just samples of Antoinette's vintage-before-it-was-cool feel, but still simple with no frills. The owner is an older gentleman and the sole operator, so patience is vital. There is no formal menu, the options are what the owner has been tinkering around with lately. True delight and pride in his work shows through when he rattles off some of his favorite dishes. Count on sandwiches, veggie options (he loves to do up a salad), and big portion dinners. You very well may be the only patron for the duration of your visit. Food served on vintage Pyrex tableware (so cool) and glasses were chilled before drinks poured. Serving bottled beer, peep the vintage Rolling Rock advertisement behind the bar for a neat Corning salute! The owner was so sweet, and treated us like friends. Cash only, no online presence, and off the beaten path is hurting business, but this is classic Corning which isn't seen much anymore. A nice change from upscale eating and the usual drag; a humble eatery. Absolutely will be returning for both the food and the experience. Undoubtedly a hidden gem. Locals: aesthetic reminiscent of R&M and Bento

We considered the other yelp review and went in with our "eye's open"…read more Cash only... dated decor... we hoped for a 50's diner, it's a 50's pub. Great bones... but to put it in context... the ceiling hasn't been painted since the 50's either.... we're both mature and remember the days when cigarettes weren't banned in restaurants... Proprietor was friendly and as quick as a one man show can be. As others have said; three meal options. If we weren't tired from a day at the museum we would have been more chatty and I'm sure the stories would have been a delight. Go if you're up for that kind of experience. Lettuce was crazy fresh and delicious... it seemed that all the other dinner ingredients were pulled and cooked from the freezer as needed.

I've never been served such a massive, heaping bowl of mac 'n cheese before in my life... no wonder…read morethis chain (7 locations) has gotten featured by Food Network and is known as the home of the mac 'n cheese. Had a delightful experience at this Market Street location in Corning. Welcoming, playful atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. I had been craving chicken wings, so the boyfriend and I ordered a 10 count of gold bbq chicken wings. To be fair, this might have been a mistake given the ample size of the mac 'n cheeses that we had each ordered too...but c'est la vie. The gold bbq was delicious and we made it through 8 of the 10 wings before our mac 'n cheese bowls arrived. My Kenny Pow Supreme mac 'n cheese came with sausage, onion, green peppers, pepperoni, and bacon mixed in & was topped with cheddar cheese, as well as panko for some extra texture. Even after not having eaten anything else that day before the chicken wings, I could only make it through about 1/3 of the whole size mac 'n cheese before tapping out... but omg, was it tasty. TL;DR Love the vibe, delicious food, and great staff. Will definitely be back!

Well, at Mooney's in Corning NY, Mac & Cheese should be capitalized. Sure, you can get a regular flavor topped with panko crumbs. They also create more than 20 more varieties! with ingredients like lobster & mozzarella, taco beef, stuffed peppers, buffalo or bacon-ranch chicken, pepperoni & pizza-sauce, beef with pulled-pork or bacon, scampi or cajun shrimp, a BLT mac, a Philly cheesesteak mac, a rueben mac, even a good old beef on weck version! Plus a monthly-changing feature. What we had was generous and scrumptious: one named for their pal Kenny Pow: Sausage, onions, green peppers, pepperoni, and bacon, with cheddar and panko. Our favorite deluxe pizza in a mac & cheese! Our other one: a luscious spinach & tender sweet artichoke-heart mac & cheese. Oh my! We could eat mac & cheese here every day! I'd try their 30min 6-LB challenge if they let me try all of them :-)

Either way i went to TRY and enjoy my food it was 10000° inside of the place and just dirty in general, outside the tables were rocky and every time i grab something the table would rock and even caused my brothers drink to fall down. I have been coming here since i was a little lad, it had completely fallen down hill since the main guy hasn't been here that much. Come to think of it, i came here last year, my strawberry shake, was just more like hard icecream in a cup! My hotdog was also grey.
