Absolutely phenomenal! The true definition of a greasy spoon. They absolutely crushed it. Breakfast was amazing and the chili dogs were on point. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend you stop in and try it. read more

Keystone Restaurant - Two egg breakfast with blueberry pancake. Chili dog meal. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Had their so-called Texas weiner today. If I could give it zero stars, I would. The dogs were low quality and boiled or steamed, not grilled. The buns were the absolute cheapest they could find. The chili was absolutely horrible and I had to use a magnifying glass to find the mustard. Honestly, a two year old could produce a better hot dog than this place. Quite frankly, they are disgusting and an insult to true Texas wieners everywhere read more

5/5 on how they can make home fries and sausage taste awful. This place used to be great... now well not so much

Not from the area do we went by the yelp reviews. This breakfast place was surprisingly ordinary considering the reviews. All 4 of us felt the same. It is a very friendly place. The service was friendly and fast. It was packed so we expected more. Seemed like a lot of regulars. The home made sausage patties that were recommended by the waitress tasted like a slider. I'm not sure there was any sausage in it. Stay away. The rest of our meals were mediocre at best read more

This spot is hidden gem, if you're visiting...if you're a local then you know about the great breakfast at Keystone Restaurant. This spot is a solid breakfast/lunch diner, nothing extra just places to sit and eat your meal. Service was spot on, to me it seems like they're trying to get you in and out, to get started with your day. Ambiance? None...it's a nice little family run spot that is serving up a great tasting breakfast. I had a breakfast sandwich with their home fries, the breakfast tasted homemade. ***Flight Attendant approved*** read more

Was downtown and decided to try out. Table had Western omelet and 2 French toast with eggs and bacon. Bacon was very tasty and the right consistency. French toast was very yummy with a good eggy flavor. Had tea and coffee also. Friendly service and diner ambiance (very clean). read more

Great place great owners. Food is great. Very friendly place and people. Food is cooked to order and cheap. Have the best breakfast around.

Great breakfast spot that gets packed with customers on the weekend, so be prepared to wait for a table and move fast to get one that's open. Or you can always sit at the counter if there's room. Standard offerings for breakfast and lunch. Nothing that's going to blow your mind other than how busy it gets and your food won't take that long to come out. These cooks are FAST! Waitresses, not as fast but there's only so much hey can do when it's as busy as this place. The amount of take-out orders they were fulfilling while handling a full restaurant was truly astounding. I'll be back to try again and see if I can get this review up to a 5 star. Stay tuned... read more

Drive by. I initially drove by because it looked a little janky but then I pulled over and read some reviews and decided to give it a try. First impression was correct. Definitely a place for locals which isn't necessarily bad. Staff look like they just rolled out of bed. Ordered short stack with two eggs over medium and pork sausage. I like runny yolk but not runny whites. Yep, you guessed it, the white was in a 100M race. Pancakes were firm, too firm, and the pork sausage was good. Maybe it's an acquired taste? I won't be acquiring it. read more

Great food and prices. Local favorite. Nice people! I've been there many times and never been disappointed.

Food was not good at all very basic and no flavor. Service was subpar, we sat down and waited for them to take our order and the lady seemed like she didn't want to be there. The ambiance was like eating at a low budget Waffle House. A lot of transients eat there it's cheap and you definitely get what you pay for. I cannot believe the star rating of this place. read more

My breakfast bagel is great every time , it's made in a timely manner ! The bacon egg and cheese bagel with jelly is my go to

But then what cops aren't these days amirite. Ohhhhhh. This is the best thing I've ever eaten in Harrisburg and one of my favourites and all of Pennsylvania. And if you need to use the bathroom here, it's the Peestone Diner. It's nothing fancy and nothing elaborate, but what they do have is excellent breakfast food and all kinds of homemade delights that put most diners to shame. Their prices are so dirt cheap that you're basically getting free food. I certainly will be back here for regular noms. Every time I'm in Harrisburg, in fact. Service as delightful as well. And if you prefer salty fast food fried chicken, go to KFCStone Restaurant. After eating a very disappointing hipster breakfast down the road, we came here and fell in love, and paid a third of the price for three times the amount of food, about 103 times as tasty. And that is the problem with the vast majority of hipster food. Give me this place 100% of the time, with the 100% tolerance and progressivism of the hipsters as a side. And if you're wondering who your Mother, your Sister, and your Girlfriend are secretly dating right now, I'm actually dating all Threestone Restaurant. read more

Keystone is a standard take on traditional American breakfast food. The eggs were decently executed but not lavish. I ordered turkey bacon but was given ham instead. Not a big deal, but an indication of sloppiness by the expeditor and servers. The textures and flavors were reliable and consistent to classic breakfast food, but not impressive. read more

Keystone Restaurant - Two eggs, Potatoes, and Ham - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time on a Tuesday morning around 9 am and the place was pretty busy. They also had a lot of people coming in for take-out orders. Good sign! It's a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch with table and counter seating. Looks like your typical greasy spoon, divey diner--which, in my experience, usually turns out to be the best kind!! It's a seat yourself establishment - so find your self a table or seat at the counter and the waitress will come over to you promptly. They are a family owned business with really friendly staff and the waitress told us they've been around for 60+ years. Another good sign! They have a decent menu serving eggs, French toast, pancakes, breakfast meats (including bacon, turkey bacon, beef sausage, scrapple (my FAVE) and ham)--your typical breakfast foods. They offer grits or homefries with each breakfast. I didn't try the grits but the homefries were great with a buttery flavor. I also enjoyed my eggs over easy (perfectly cooked) and scrapple. My boyfriend enjoyed the French toast (made with Texas toast), eggs w/cheese and beef sausage. The prices are extremely reasonable as well. This is a place I will definitely visit again--they have a way of making you feel like family/great friends from the time you walk in the door. Such a great find! Parking was on the street and with Park Mobile I paid $1.85 for an hour. They also DO accept credit cards. read more

Keystone Restaurant - Scrapple, eggs, homefries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Nothing to complain about here from this Jersey girl. Solid breakfast spot in downtown Harrisburg. Great service, experienced cooks who know how to handle a busy crowd. Food came out super quick and delicious. I tried scrapple for the first time. I let the waitress know and she was very sweet, and had it made the way she thinks a newbie would most like it. Extra crispy in the deep frier with maple syrup. It was a really tasty surprise. Biscuits and gravy were also delicious. Omelette was good. Solid breakfast spot with great prices. Only con I have is that it wasn't open the next day (Sunday) for us to go again, and had to resort to an awful breakfast experience somewhere else. I would for sure return if I was ever in the area again. read more

This restaurant is one of the most simple yet fast, efficient, and great customer service driven places I've been in quite some time! I located this location on Yelp and was very very impressed by everything I found and saw. This is a family-owned business and it's so apparent once you observe the workers! Their fluent chemistry is visably obvious. It was so peaceful, comfy and home like there. Mari was our table person who was very good w taking our orders, making recommendations and making sure we got everything we needed in a timely fashion. She was very kind and personable. I would definitely revisit this place if in the area again. read more

Appreciate the place for what it is! I love an over top brunch, but I also love eggs, bacon and home fries. That's this place! They have a small menu with simple items. They leave it simple and provide great service. Every waitress was attentive, kind and quick, and the guys on the line shouted thanks and flashed me a smile as I left. I kid you not I was served in less than 5 minutes. My food was perfect and all of it (two eggs, home fries, sausage and bacon) less than $10! Like I said, simple food, done right. If that's your jam, give this place a try read more

Nice little spot in the downtown section of the city. Seems to be family owned and very efficiently ran. We ordered breakfast which they serve all day, they do have dishes for lunch and dinner as well. Great customer service, food was done at a reasonable speed and it was delicious. No complaints here. Definitely got a dive kind of vibe read more

Less than a mile from the train station stopped by for a quick breakfast with a friend before she left to go back home. Good food, very reasonable prices, and it quickly became a busy place! Highly recommend! read more

The dining area is pretty small and bright. There were only 4 or 5 tables that fit up to 4people. The rest of the booths they had only accommodated 1-2 people. There were 3 of us and all of the bigger tables were full, so we sat at the bar area. Service was fast and friendly. It was neat watching the cooks cooking the food. I would say this is the closest to home cooked breakfast. Everything tasted good--especially the hot cakes. I am not a pancake person, but boy were they yummy. Im pretty sure it was the half stick of melted butter that was sitting on the side of the plate that was then smothered all over the pancakes. Mmmm butter....We also ordered eggs, sausage, toast, and home fries. The menu is pretty limited compared to other diners i've been to. My boyfriend was hoping they offered something with a little bit of everything (similar to denny's grand slam), but unfortunately they didn't. The portions were good, but my only complaint is that everything was greasy. My toast was soggy due to the amount of butter that was slabbed onto it. Maybe that's why everything tasted so good? ;) All in all, this is a nice, little, cozy mom and pop diner with home cooked food and great service. read more

The PERFECT diner. A diner that isn't trying to be a diner because it just is one. Friendly and efficient staff who can work a crowd flawlessly, generous portions of delicious food with prices that are very reasonable. This will be a staple anytime we are out this way. If you are hungry for a great breakfast or brunch I'm not sure why you are still reading this - go there and eat!!!! read more

Breakfast was really good! The service was great, the place was packed Price was awesome compared to NYC it was $25.00 for 3 people. We sat at the bar the food was served on time. One thing I would like to say is that the cooks should wear gloves when cooking but overall it's a family owned restaurant and the people are sweet and efficient. read more

I love this place, they have perfect the "hometown diner" aspect in every way. The servers are so friendly, once you come in a few times they already know your breakfast orders, plus service is extremely fast and friendly. They have a simple menu but that's all you need when it comes to a simple breakfast/lunch spot. My go to is eggs over lite, white toast, homefries, bacon and a side of tzatziki (for my homefries). Give it a try, they make their tzatziki in house and it is deliciously creamy. I have a slight pet peeve when it comes to broken egg yolks, and they've never brought me a broken egg! I don't get it when restaurants think its ok to serve an accidentally broken egg yolk. I've also been in for lunch a few times, the burgers and blt are so on point. This is a must stop if you're looking for a fast cheap breakfast or lunch!! read more

If you live in the area you know that the Keystone restaurant is a prime place to go for breakfast. If you're not from the area they're open until 2 PM every day of the week it is a Fantastic breakfast. It's very simple and very very cheap. I'm talking $5.95 for two eggs pancakes bacon and something to drink They cook right in front of you which is very convenient also because you know where your food is coming from. The place is not as nice as a normal breakfast spot but it's in the Midtown neighborhood district so you kind of get what you're paying for. read more

I had been traveling on the East Coast with my mother over the summer and Keystone Restaurant was close to where we were staying for a few days. Found this place through Yelp and it was absolutely outstanding. We ate at the restaurant on multiple mornings and the employees remembered us, asking what our tourist plans were for the coming day and stuff like that. Everyone was kind and outgoing, even though my mom and I weren't awake yet. While the breakfast food was yummy, my very picky mother had mentioned that the eggs were cooked exactly how she liked them. It was the only place on the East Coast that did it correctly, so I'd call the restaurant one of the very few "mom-approved" places. Eat here! You'll love it. read more

While visiting Harrisburg and looking for a good breakfast spot, found the Keystone on Yelp and what a find it was ,western omelette, home fries and a short stack all done to perfection.

Very cozy, great vibe place to eat. The owner/cook really cares about his customers, always laughing, joking and smiling with everyone who comes in contact with him.

Positives- Good place, simple menu, prompt and friendly service. Negatives - small and warm inside, took a while for a table to open up. Was in town for the morning and wanted a quick breakfast. I had the French toast, my better 2/3rds got pancakes. Both were good but not great, but that's the nice thing about the keystone, it was a great place for a quick bite. I wouldn't seek it out on my next visit, but was worth popping in for a quick meal. read more

Weekend breakfast staple for us. Fast, consistent, delicious, friendly and cheap. I always have the two eggs (cooked to order - over medium and perfect), wheat toast, 3 big pieces of perfect bacon and buttery hash browns. The staff seem mostly related from the same family and are all so friendly and efficient. At really a pleasure coming here. Perfect diner vibe. Tons of regulars that they know by name. My husband always gets the corned beef hash or biscuits and gravy, both of which he loves. They refill the coffee and soda regularly. Love this place. read more

I've been searching for some just flat out authentic breakfast options. I order the. Real fast deal of 2 eggs, 2 sides and coffee. My partner ordered a biscuit gravy. So delicious. I'm always anxious about grits, and I. Annoy recommend theirs more. As a tip- if in doubt about the sides- they will split them- like one side is 1/2 grits and 1/2 fried potatoes. Restaurant is on the smaller scale, but great service turns it a around quickly. Next time, we will bring our kids! Parking was easy on a Sunday morning. read more

The best early morning option. Great food and service throughout the day. Staff is friendly and attentive.

I found it when I arrived here 16 years ago. This is my go to place for fun, grits and flesh food. I know the folks now,; mom and dad are still involved. I get there a few times a week so I don't have to cook my grits but still enjoy it. John is the GRITS KING. How did he learn that? LOL Linda read more

Stop by this little restaurant while traveling through Harrisburg! If you want a hot quick breakfast this is where you want to go. Nice family run business. Seating is limited but the tables turn over quickly. I had one of the breakfast specials eggs bacon home fries and rye toast. Cooked eggs just like I asked and made the toast crispy like I wanted. Total bill for two full breakfast with 20% tip was under $20! Definitely will be back the next time we pass through. read more

Its everything you want in diner breakfast food. Right down to the bright yellow margarine used to butter the toast, grits, and pancakes!
