Went with 3 friends on a busy Friday morning. Waitress came right over to get drink orders and then took order. Everything came out as requested and the portions were large. The prices were like a blast from the past. I'm tired of paying an arm and a leg at other diners. Long time occasional customer, will be back more often. Plus the food was hot and delicious. read more

I've been going to Mt. Hope Diner for a few years now & the food & service was always good. We'll, yesterday I went for breakfast with my brother & 3 sisters. The coffee which has always been good, yesterday's coffee tasted week and old. We placed our orders, once we had our food, it was not even hot, it was cold. My siblings & I felt rushed for some reason. Once we left, we all talked about how different it felt than other times we've visited. Well, it was actually my brothers first time eating at Mt. Hope Diner & it will be his last. He ended up getting sick from the food. No more Mt Hope Diner for us. It's just not the same. read more

I occasionally drive by Mt. Hope Diner and think to myself, I should go in there sometime and try it. I like diner food - especially on an evening when the time has gotten away and you just want that homemade meal you have no energy to put together yourself. I grew up going to diners a lot. Mom worked in a number of them during her years as a waitress, and we went out a lot because after serving people all day, she liked to be waited on once in a while. Having the recent opportunity to join some yelpers, I was thrilled to finally get the chance to stop in. And I wasn't disappointed. My first impression came immediately after pulling into the parking lot. It's a relatively small lot, and there were some drivers battling it out vehemently. I literally watched a woman yell at an old man to move his car so she could get out of the parking lot from the space she was in. She actually had plenty of room to move and let him go around, but that's beside the point. What's the point - parking is at a premium and it was displayed in this entertaining vignette (all the while others are honking at me to move when I couldn't go anywhere with those two duking it out!) Despite the fact that the place was hoppin' at 10am on a Saturday, my mates had already snagged a table, and there was no one waiting in line. The man behind the register was super friendly, and made me feel really welcome. I found our party, and felt that we got drinks rather quickly. Our server was perky, engaging and managed to get all our orders right. I ordered the cornbeef hash special with a bagel. I hadn't had hash in a while, and it was a little bit of a nostalgic moment there. It could have been done a little more, but I didn't specify so I have no complaints. The eggs were cooked to my liking (over hard) and I got refills on my hot water for tea. Since I don't live in the immediate area, I wouldn't make this my regular diner experience, but the food was good, and if friends wanted to meet up on that side of town, I would definitely agree to this location! read more

After hearing years of great things about Mt. Hope Diner, I finally had the opportunity to check out it out when a co-worker suggested we visit. I ordered the Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. I was super impressed by the amount of whipped cream on my waffle. It was crazy, maybe a little over the top but still delicious. The waffle was great too! The letdown were the potatoes. They had absolutely no seasoning. Salt and pepper didn't due it justice. The best part of it all was how reasonably priced my meal was. The food here is good and affordable. read more

This place is just what I used to remember diners being like when I was growing up. A diverse cast of patrons, great food, and a worn in homey decor filled with Americana and local memorabilia adorning the walls. Stopping in on a weekday around 10 AM or so, there was a good crowd, but plenty of tables available. I had some great steak and eggs with hash browns and Italian toast, while my partner tried the Eggs Benedict with the same. Service was speedy with several coffee refills before we had to decline for fear of a caffeine overdose. read more

Subpar for me. I've tried many diners in Upstate, NY and this one was pretty basic. I got the usual pancakes, eggs, and home fries (something I get at every diner) with a side of coffee. The pancakes were somewhat dry and tasted like mix from a box. The home fries were pretty good. Eggs were nothing spectacular. With the food not wow-ing me this time around, I truly appreciated the customer service! The food came out in about 15 minutes for a table of 5, the waitress was friendly and didn't hesitate to engage in conversation, and our coffees were re-filled before we ever seen the bottom of the mug. read more

Funky diner in college town. If you haven't been there in a while, it is a far cry from the olden days when it used to be Pat N' Sandy's (anyone recall the old nickname? Props if you do). I've been here a few times to meet up with clients, and can say they deliver decent eats at a fair price. The last time we came here, however, the Duchess was not impressed with the way her Eggs Benedict came out... too lemony; however, I found my Sausage & Cheese omelet to be fairly tasty and the sourdough toast delivered warm & buttery. Coffee was on the weak side, however I did enjoy the "Nitro" coffee and found out later that my daughter also had the same reaction that I did. Over all, it's an average diner with good service. Can't beat that! read more

I've been to Mt. Hope Diner a few times now and can reasonably say, they have a system down. During the week, it's much quieter. During the weekend, the place is full, but with little to no wait time. Service is friendly and it's a pay at the counter spot. They have a number of specials on a TV screen, plus the breakfast-all-day classics on the menu, as well as sandwiches, wraps, and full entrees. I primarily come for my diner favorites - eggs, toast, and sausage or a turkey club sandwich. The deli meat makes it - fresh and sliced thick, it comes with chips (in a bag) and pickle rounds. The omelets are huge and hearty - every combo you could imagine, plus extras on the specials list. The sourdough toast is delish and always my go-to. Plus, everything is affordable and homemade (like the corned beef hash!). This is a great stop if you're looking for a new diner to try, one that's been around for years. Great for anyone in the Mt. Hope area and nearby hospitals. read more

Ordered Uber Eats from here so this review will not cover what it is like to eat in here. I ordered a bacon and cheddar omelet along with bacon and sausage on the side. While the food itself was delicious and flavourful, I was disappointed to see how small the food portions were. For a diner, I was expecting more of a bigger portion size. I was still feeling somewhat hungry after finishing my food. I will say though that the prices are quite reasonable. Next time I'm in the Rochester area, while I won't necessarily avoid this place, if I find a better breakfast place, I think I'll go there over here. read more

I really used to like Mt Hope diner but the last couple of times I've gone I've been unimpressed. On Monday of Labor Day Weekend we got there (party of 2) and were told to sit anywhere open bc there was no line and a few open tables/booths. Aside from getting water pretty quickly,the service was EXTREMELY slow for a breakfast stop. It took awhile to place our order and when we finally did the wait was another 40 mins for 2 omelettes and one Belgian waffle! They did get busier during this time so I sympathize but by the time the food came my not so crispy "extra crispy" home fries were luke warm/on the cold side. It was disappointing but I doubt this will be my last visit bc I do love a diner breakfast and you can usually get a seat pretty easily in my experience. read more

Above average food. Below average prices. Regulars. A counter. Good service. Quick service. The Mediterranean frittata was wholesome and filling. The ingredients, fresh. It came with roast (up charge for raisin toast, but worth it!). The breakfast sandwich with shred, too, was perfectly proportioned; the crunch of the English muffin and the squish of the sausage balanced each other exactly equally, like Neo and Smith in that third Matrix movie. But the true hidden gem was the muffin. Cut in half and grilled. With sugar crystals! Not too big. Not too small. Not so sweet as to be dessert-like. Just perfectly sweet enough to make you not regret "going savory" by getting the frittata as your main course.

They have a set menu and a specials board that I think changes daily. There's 2 full pages of breakfast, and at least 2 pages of lunch, plus the board. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I had the same thing both visits - a cheese omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast. It was really cheesy, and I liked that it was a 2 egg omelet rather than 3, for me it was just the right size. We also split a piece of the rotating coffee cake, cinnamon walnut that day, and it was good - not too sweet, plenty of cinnamon. The guy had their 2-2-2 combo and was happy with that choice. For both of us, breakfast ran about $35, for 2 entrees and coffee, plus the cake.

Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences. We spent 2.5 hours total at the restaurant. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we watched two tables that arrived at least an hour after us receive their food first. When we politely asked if our ticket might have been missed, we were told those tables ordered before us, which simply wasn't true. We were then told the delay was because burgers take a long time but a nearly two-hour wait for a burger is pretty wild. It took about 25 minutes just for someone to take our drink order, and we were never asked if we wanted additional drinks. We had to flag staff down for everything. No ketchup, no hot sauce, nothing offered. The $30 mimosa flight served in tiny glasses also felt like a complete scam. When the food finally came, two people in our party were served 15-20 minutes before the other two, and the food was cold. One dish had completely raw eggs. When I let the server know I couldn't eat it, she came back and removed the meal from the bill, which was appreciated. However, the interaction itself felt tense and dismissive, which made an already frustrating experience worse. They did give us a round of breakfast shots to try to help pass the time which was appreciated. The food itself was disappointing overall. The breakfast burrito was basically all eggs with raw, bitter avocado, and my husband's burger was missing requested toppings. We also noticed food sitting in the service window while we continued waiting. The only person who was happy with their meal got the biggie fries an it was hot when it arrived. To make matters worse, the bathroom was unheated on an 18° day (feels like 2°) and not clean. We're a pretty chill, patient group and understand that kitchens get backed up but man, this experience completely missed the mark. Ironically, the cooks thanked us for our patience and servers said goodbye pleasantly on the way out. We honestly may have let a lot of this go if the service hadn't felt so dismissive when we calmly raised concerns.

I finally checked out this diner and had a great experience. It clearly has a loyal group of…read moreregulars, and the staff was very friendly. The inside is light and bright, with tables, booths, and counter seating. Another plus is the convenient parking both in the back and on the street. A definite plus! They offer all the diner favorites. I had the ham and eggs with toast and home fries. Everything was tasty, though I wish the home fries had been a little hotter, and the dish needed a bit of salt. The hollandaise sauce tasted fresh, and the coffee was quite good. My friend ordered the Eggs in a Basket, which came with eggs, cheese, bacon, hollandaise sauce, and home fries, and she said it was tasty. I'm sure this place gets quite busy on other days since it's down the street from Highland Park Diner, but when we visited on a Tuesday morning it was pretty chill. . Give it a try, I'll definitely be back.

I like their menu because they have interesting breakfast items like raspberry almond French toast and a pizza omelet in addition to more traditional items. The raspberry almond French toast came with a little container of raspberry sauce and the toast was filled with almonds. It was really good, I would get this again. There was enough left over to take some home for lunch. I got a side of grits which were good and not runny. The coffee was just okay and very hot. The staff is friendly, prices are reasonable. Bathrooms are down a flight of stairs. Great place for breakfast!
