Came here for our final breakfast before heading back home from Boy's Pocono Weekend 2025. Nice place. Mountainhome Diner has been around for years and is your typical diner with all-day breakfast available. It's clean and the staff were exactly what you want in a diner with friendliness and hospitality. I went with a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant with some well done potatoes. My friend had the scrapple with some scrambled eggs. I also had an orange juice. The orange juice I did not care for. Definitely not fresh squeezed. But the sandwich was excellent along with the potatoes. My friend also loved his coffee and scrapple with egg. My meal came to $11 not including tip. We'd come back! read more

Mountainhome Diner - Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a toasted croissant with some well-done potatoes. Loved it. 11/9/2025. With the OJ, $12 without tip. - Diners Near Me - Mountainhome, Pennsylvania

Mountainhome Diner is a classic American diner restaurant that opened in Cresco, Pennsylvania in 1956. Over the decades, it has been operated by a number of different owners. The current owners since 2017 are husband and wife restaurateurs Ali and Etab Abullattif. The enormous menu features classic staples such as omelets, pancakes, eggs benedict, french toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast wraps, salads, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, seafood entrees, steakhouse entrees, and various Italian specialties too numerous to mention. My family and I visited Mountainhome Diner for lunch on a recent trip to the Poconos. It was actually are last morning on our trip and we were looking for a place to grab lunch before making the drive back to Connecticut. We had driven past the diner several times on previous visits to the area, but had never visited before. We decided to give them a try. It seemed like a classic American diner that you could find just about anywhere. There's no website, no social media accounts, just good old-fashioned diner staples. The staff were friendly and accommodating and they seated us at a booth. A go-to dish that my wife and I both like to get at classic diners is a Greek salad, and Mountainhome Diner's "Big Fat Greek Salad" (chopped iceberg lettuce, crumbled feta, olives, tomato, onions, peppers, grape leaves, house Greek vinegar) sounded like it was just what we were looking for. I ordered mine with gyro while my wife ordered hers with chicken. Those salads really hit the spot! For our sons, we looked to the Kids Menu. Our older son had the "Hot Dog with French fries" while our younger son had the "Chicken Fingers with French fries". They were both very happy with their dishes. We had a nice time at Mountainhome Diner and we're happy that we finally stopped in. We recommend them to anyone visiting the area! read more

Horrible service. DO NOT come here. I was with six friends and the waitress brought over only one drink and did not take our food order. The waitress was rude and forceful. I'll have you know I'm a popular tour guide in the Poconos and I take pride in where I take my friends. read more

Mountainhome Diner - Belgian waffle and sausage patties - Diners Near Me - Mountainhome, Pennsylvania

Good service, clean and decent food. Stopped there on the way to my brothers. They have the usual diner menu. Good burger.

Food and service always good and can't be faulted for diner fare. The reason for the one star is due to the unprofessional behavior of one employee who was there on Sat 9/6. We were there early for breakfast and our server was friendly and competent. But who the hell was the other staff member who spent the time we were there hanging over the counter speaking loudly to her buddies sitting up from us. Do we really give a shit about your upcoming vacation and what your passport looks like! You want to talk personal topics, do it in your living room and not in front of customers trying to enjoy breakfast. Totally oblivious to the needs of diners whilst continuing to discuss matters we really don't want to hear. Take it out back if you must. This behavior ruined an otherwise nice morning. She needs to go. Yes we are locals before anyone comments. This is what is wrong with towns like this. Subpar employees who do not understand boundaries and workplace etiquette. Owners take note. Think about who you hire. Won't be back. We can only hope our server got her tip and it wasn't pocketed by a certain someone. read more

I'm local and whenever I go out I go here, they have amazing food and always have good service, especially love their seating they have a good amount of seating and have a nice atmosphere around the bar. And I love their burgers and their fries. read more

Cannot say enough about how our experience was. From the service to the quality of the food, we both left with smiles on our faces, wishing we could go back if we weren't there as tourists. They seemed to have some Greek options (big Greek Diner energy) that we didn't try but looked amazing on adjacent tables. read more

Enjoyed my brunch at this place during our Pocono visit. Awesome omelette, great service. Special shout-out to the French Onion Soup which was fantastic as well! read more

Mountainhome Diner - Omelette - Diners Near Me - Mountainhome, Pennsylvania

Avoid this place like the plague! Cockroaches running up the walls (a friend saw this) ... shutting down even at the hint of snow and today was the final straw. We had a power outage (one town away) nd I went there to get coffee. 2 large cups of black coffee was $6.50 .. I mean are we SERIOUS? $3.25 a cup for coffee when everyone else in town is under $2. These people don't know what they are doing and they are 'trying to saves their asses' by overcharging people for stuff like coffee. Will NEVER g o back there again, they need to sell this to someone that knows what the hellk they are doing read more

Came here for breakfast with a large group. The restaurant was very accommodating however we had to ask for a high chair a couple of times and eventually gave up waiting and got our own. The food was very affordable! With 10 people and the bill came in under $100! Granted three of us didnt get a full meal bit still everything was very cheap! The food was very average. Not the worse or best we've ever had. Hubby however did love his gyro breakfast. The pancakes were just okay and the sausage patties were on the salty side. read more

Mountainhome Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Mountainhome, Pennsylvania

I have been a customer of the Mountainhome Diner over the past 50 years. I have many good memories, good food, service and fair prices.

Food is delicious!! If I want blueberry pancakes for breakfast this is the place I go. Service is normally excellent. Very friendly staff. Sometimes the staff it's overwhelmed and although they do the best they can, the customer sometimes get snippy. Nice quiet restaurant. Well maintained. Excellent food would highly recommend Prices are your average corner diner restaurant. Parking alongside the restaurant is adequate. There's a parking area behind the restaurant. The diner is on a corner so people sometimes miss the side road and cut through the parking lot. So I would advise caution when pulling out of a parking spot. read more

Neeeeee the food is good and plenty of it. The waitresses are friendly and will talk and joke with you. The people around you are very nice but some need a hand bone. Neeeeee read more

Got breakfast there before hiking and sat outside at one of 3 picnic tables that are outside because we had our dog. The staff were really helpful. The chocolate chip and Oreo pancakes were really good, the Eggs Benedict were good (though my hubby said it could've used a bit more hollandaise.) I got cream chipped beef on toast which was average and we shared a side of corned beef hash which was ok but pretty small for the price. read more

This diner is very cute and cozy. Prices are amazing (compared to where I'm from) - you get so much food for the price. The food tasted great, exactly what you expect from a s hometown diner. The chocolate chip pancakes were HUGE, soft, and sweet. Love that you can pick single (1), short (2), or regular (3) stack. Our waitress was very kind and sweet as well. Overall, would love to come back here for brunch and would definitely recommend! read more

Very good breakfast in a friendly atmosphere! Our server couldn't be nicer. Sat in a booth near a group of early morning regulars, probably before work. Recommend this place. read more

Not sure if this is a mom and pop shop but its a diner... as the name indicates. We went during breakfast rushhour so service obviously was gonna be lacking... place got packed... but food came out in time. Food is breakfast food, i didnt find anything spectacular or anything underwhelming... the pankcakes and waffles were good but again nothing to brag about. Ambiance... well its a diner... your typical restaurant set up If you are in the area for kalahari or other waterparks... not a bad option. read more

Amazing food and service! Always welcomed with a smile ...family owned and operated ! The owners are always responsive and accommodating

Still love this place! Breakfast is great and prices are decent. Our waitress was so friendly! read more

This was a great find while on our little Pocono vacation. A top tier diner amongst the mountains. We enjoyed our dinner so much we might go back again before we leave. I had the chicken salad triple decker and it hit the spot hard. Great toast. Fresh lettuce and tomato. A perfect little sandwich served with the crispest French fries on the mountain. I highly recommend. read more

My friends and I had a lovely experience here. The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. Pricing is reasonable. I personally recommend the Chicken Salad with Bacon Club with fries! read more

The service was excellent and my pancakes were delicious! Perfect breakfast and lunch spot in the Pocono area.

The food and service was very good. The restaurant decor is nice, but the bathrooms are nasty. They certainly need a renovation.

Nice little local diner. Perfect for a quick bite to eat. Got the pancakes and breakfast wrap which were both good. Pancakes were perfectly cooked and tasty. The breakfast wrap was huge and tasted good. Just wasn't a huge fan of the breakfast potatoes which were just big slices of potato seasoned. The staff was very friendly and the coffee was on point. read more

The mountain home diner has homemade food. It's a great atmosphere very nice people working here. Me and my wife eat here all the time. If you're up in the Pocono Mountain, you should give it a shot. Highly recommend. read more

We were staying locally and searched for good breakfast spots. This place got very good ratings so we gave it a try. It is a nostalgic diner with very good service. Our breakfast was very good. I got the Alpine omelet which was very good. My man got the he man breakfast that included pancakes. They were very good. Really, the best part was the incredibly kind service. The hostess actually almost ran out the door after us apologizing that she hadn't asked how everything was on our way out. Btw, she did tell us to have a nice day in our way out but felt bad she hadn't asked how everything was so she came out of the diner to ask us. Lovely people working hard to make a nice breakfast experience for their customers. That's a rare quality these days. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have a modern updated look and feel. Otherwise great! read more

Great food with that classic diner feel. Ordered a egg white omelette and the napoleon french toast, both were delish!

The food here is absolutely amazing, the pancakes are the best I've had in my life 10/10

Great food - fantastic friendly service. Seems like a local favorite. Our waitress was great

I rarely give restaurants 5 stars but this one definitely deserves it! I came here with a group of 10 people and we were seated immediately. The service was very fast; the waitresses were super attentive and they always checked in on how we were doing! No one's order got messed up even though there were so many people. The menu had so many options (healthy ones too) and the prices were surprisingly cheap. I got an egg white omelette, home fries and a bagel all for under $10! read more

The food isn't great and I think it's because their menu is so large HOWEVER the service is really wonderful and they were very kind to us as rowdy college kids on spring break. read more

Great diner food- everything we had was delicious. The lady at the front/on the phone was extremely friendly and answered all the questions we had for our takeout order. read more

Big surprise being so far from home. So friendly, super clean, greeted, seated and served with smiles and with understanding. Ran through a couple of questions then placed our order. Best part, Christine never said no once to our inquiries. We shared their pesto omelet, they did use egg whites with one full egg as requested, no toast, no home fries and they did give me a slide of sliced bananas. My wife had a short stack of pancakes with Strawberries mixed in the batter. Both dishes very good. Even the coffee and I am very particular about my java. All in all, very good breakfast find in the PA mountains read more
