    Lumberjack
    Chelsea A.

    Miss Johnstown Diner was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, with huge portions. The people inside were friendly and seemed like a close bunch, it was a wholesome ambiance. I got the lumberjack, which included pancakes. These are by far the best pancakes I've ever had yet! They were fluffy, golden brown, tasty and didn't need syrup. That's how you know it's a good pancake! Again, everyone was so friendly it was such a welcoming experience, all the photos and the waitresses personality made this breakfast memorable. Worth checking out and I strongly recommend trying the pancakes and bacon. Those were my personal favorites .

    A gem and then some! You know me, I'm the traveling entertainer and I like a good diner. The Miss Johnstown Diner hit all the marks: well-worn, with a limited but classic menu, the whole experience was a bit ramshackle but with a HUGE heart. Most of that heart is generated by the welcoming, tattooed waitress (who doubled as the short order cook). Unfortunately I didn't ask her name but it's probably Miss Johnstown. A close second in a cast of characters was the amiable Reverend/Priest (with quick-release clerical collar!) who floated about helping Miss Johnstown. The ambiance was hyper-local. A nice mix of old-school and new. The decor was deeply "diner" with funny signs and bric a brac. I took a seat at counter as the place is TINY and I didn't want to take up a table. A guy at the counter with a pirate smile and a baseball cap slid a place cover over to me with a "heya." Miss Johnstown took my order with kind words and a smattering of "darling" and "baby" thrown in. One remarkable thing was that a running trivia game was underway as I sat down. It was being led by a bearded man at counter. He had a full breakfast sitting before him while he presented the trivia questions and a hand drawn contestant sheet he kept tally on. I found it all extremely charming and entertaining and I was welcomed to join with the moniker "Counter Guy." The game was engaging, low-pressure and a verifiable treat in this age of isolation and eating with one's nose down in a device. As for why I came- the food! The coffee was excellent and I had corned beef hash and eggs. I asked for the corned beef hash to be well done (I hate the standard soggy loaf you usually see) and my plate was piled high with a generous portion of flavorful, crispy and tender goodness. To top it off the prices were also a welcome bonus which took me back to the 1970s (perhaps when they last raised their prices?). All in all not only a tasty meal but one full of heart, friendly people and a deeply honest and relaxing experience. Thank you Miss Johnstown Diner.

    This place was definitely dingy and small, but also charming. The food was extremely cheap, and good to boot! Service was also attentive and kind. It doesn't look like much but we enjoyed our visit :)

    Had a great experience in this hometown little diner. Great menu with unique sandwiches. The portions will not disappoint at reasonable prices. A 'Not to Miss' if in the area. Oh, and did I mention.....Open 24 hours a day!

    Great price for the food and the service was excellent. Philly Cheesesteaks are really good and the cherry pie is yummy. Owner is very nice. Very neat and clean. Stop by n try the food they have a wide variety of choices on the menu. Eat in at the Diner or take it to go.

    In town for 50th HS Reunion. My husband's father used to bring him here for breakfast. Cheeseburgers are great, not a fan of the fries. Homemade pie is outstanding!

The restaurant manager was quick to remove our meal charge and went as far to comp our drinks with nothing but an apology. Food.....our fries were cold and my burger was missing add ons. The explanation was they were working with a new chef who was in training. My response to that is, no excuse for cold food and apparently nobody is double checking the food being put out.

Not great, but manageable. Then it took another 15 minutes before we even met our waiter. Drinks? Those took another 10 minutes to arrive. One of us ordered one of the specialty drinks that was supposed to come with a temporary tattoo (apparently part of a promotion), but unfortunately they were out of the tattoo -- which felt like a pretty fitting metaphor for the whole evening: promising idea, missing execution. After that we waited another 30 minutes with no food in sight. At that point we decided it was time to call it. I asked for the check so we could wrap things up... and that was the exact moment our entrees AND appetizers came out together like they had just remembered we existed. We politely declined the food, left $20 for the drinks, and went to Wendy's where we were actually able to eat. I get that restaurants get busy, but communication and pacing would have made a huge difference here.
