I'm writing this as my family and I have waited over an hour waiting for our food. I was hopefully this place was gonna be good as we saw a lot of locals here. I was just about to ask for the check for our drinks when the waitress comes out with a tray of food. The manager came out and said he would give us half off for the long wait. Food was ok, I guess we were hungry. As tourist stay clear of this place. read more

PG's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE & ROACHES!!! Was not greeted when we walked in. The restaurant was filthy, the waiters clearly did not want to work here. Ordered 4 meals for 4 people, 2 meals came out, waited an extra 15 mins for the other 2 meals. Waffle burnt and waiter tried arguing that it was not burnt. She proceeded to talk about us to the kitchen and they made a huge deal out of it. Brought out burnt toast, so bad it was black. Then proceeded to talk about us in front of the restaurant. Absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for. One dad/son said, "we don't think our food will ever come out." They waited another 30 mins for their food to come out. Found out after we ate that this place is infested with ROACHES...DONT GO HERE!!! read more

PG's Diner - ROACHES - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

In town for a baseball tournament. There was no wait on a Saturday morning and our waitress Olivia was awesome. She answered all our questions and made suggestions of food to try. I got the battered steak and eggs with pancakes and hash browns. It was really good. This was a neat little diner and we hope to come back soon. Everything was great and the place was clean! read more

See all

Really cute place to eat with good breakfast food!!...the service was pleasant and the food came out pretty quickly and hot!! read more

PG's Diner - Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Just moved to the area and decided to try this diner. Everything started great I wanted coffee with flavored creamer, the waitress brought out her personal stash "mounds almond joy" which I hadn't tried and the creamer was great and I was impressed at the waitress extra special service. Then we sat for over 20 min with no waitress or acknowledgment, the place wasn't that busy and seem to have plenty of staff. We waited another 9 min and then paid for the cup of coffee and left. It appeared as we leaving that our waitress an another were taking a smoking break outside. We always enjoy trying new places ... but we've checked this one off our list. read more

Pretty good and fast! We went at about 930 on Saturday morning and sat and served quickly. My hubby had the breakfast pile and he loved it! Biscuits and gravy were awesome too! Edit: Second time we went it was bad. Took almost 1 1/2 hours to get our food. YEAH that long. read more

This is a terrible place to choose for breakfast. They are rude and my silverware had stains and leftover food.

Standard diner breakfast fare with a Louisiana twist. Breakfast po'boy was good but could've had more sausage. Grits were above average. Good service, friendly wait staff, fair prices. read more

great burger. best bun ever. small, floor could be cleaner, ceiling is damp and mildewed from ac condensation. read more

Service was lousy, dining room was gross, and the eggs benedict I ordered had eggs cooked over-hard instead of poached. Plus, the English muffin wasn't even toasted so it was extremely chewy and difficult to cut, and the hollandaise sauce was lumpy for some reason. At least the price isn't bad for the amount of food you get. If you don't have high standards for your breakfast food (or probably any other meal) then this is the place for you! read more

PG's Diner - "Eggs Benedict" available only in weekends - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Great little diner. Service was great the food was diner great. I got exactly what I was expecting. And left full and content. I'll go to a diner over an IHOP or Denny's any day. read more

Food was good, I got biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Our waitress was polite. The only bad part was the ceiling was leaking and falling apart. But overall pretty good. read more

- Robert, my husband and I visited for breakfast. I had the pecan waffle, bacon and shared the crispy hashbrowns. My better half had the short stack, the pan sausage (which was almost the size of a hamburger patty- which blew us away), and the other portion of the browns. It was yummy! We had been traveling along IH10 and took a detour to get to PG's. My husband who is not quick to compliment a restaurant said how glad he was we had taken the loop to eat with you all. We will definitely be back! I wish I could bring y'all back to Texas with us! read more

Solid breakfast food, good price, cheerful & polite service. The only problem was technical. I ordered the breakfast pile and added cheese & gravy. Apparently their system has trouble with adds to orders, so they didn't add the cheese & gravy. They fixed the plate, but they didn't fix the system. Sunday Feb 28. read more

Great diner just off the loop . Grilled the open face biscuits with gravy. Very clean and great service

Stumbled on this place by accident! One of the Best Burgers I have ever had!! Omg!! Def will be coming back next time in town!!

Been here since 730 am 3/2/18, my breakfast came at 750, not many customers. Couldn't cut my meat cooked to hard. I didn't complain, the waitress noticed and offered to sent it back. It's 806 I'm sitting here waiting for my breakfast. Finally I got my breakfast. read more

This place is GREAT! Local diner with with fabulous home cooked southern food. Had breakfast...eggs, sausage, bacon, 2 pancakes all for $7.99. Ask for Michelle...sweetest waitress ever! read more

The food is good as I've eaten here a few times for breakfast and dinner. Pancakes are delicious! Try the western omelette, and hamburger steak if you're a fan. prices are more than fair. Very friendly staff. But Watch out for roaches!! They may crawl in your plate right under your nose! Due to seeing them in my table the last three trips, I will not eat here again. read more

I've only had breakfast here and wholeheartedly recommend it for your early morning food needs. It's a decent diner and the food is good and good portions. Try it sometime if you get a chance. read more

Stopped here for breakfast with a group of 4 while in Lake Charles. All of our meals were very good with nice size portions. Staff was great. Would definitely eat here again! read more

Was turned off by the reviews but tried it anyway. Was pleasantly surprised. Our server Amanda was very nice and spot on with the coffee refills. She was slammed but we were in no hurry so if the food came slow we didn't notice....we had the weekly special breakfast and they were way cheap and delicious. Also the portions we perfect...I didn't waste a bite. Great place that I will return too when in Lake Charles again. read more

PG's Diner - Just the view of a busy restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

My favorite simple American breakfast joint in LC. Prices are consistent with similar restaurants. Plenty of food.

Good food at a good price!!!! I had the country breakfast...our waitress was friendly and took care of our requests, and checked in with us various times. If you are driving through, stop for a quick, good meal! read more

Just like we like it. Great food, great service. A throw back to the quality of our youth. Will definitely return every time I'm in town.

This is completely garbage I'd rather eat from the trash the burger bun was black and they didn't put anything on the burger the waitress was so rude she rolled her eyes at me and called me fat read more

A nice gem of a place! I tried the southern pile with a side of corned beef hash. It did surprised me about how fresh and tasty all the food was. The wife had the number 10 and enjoyed it thoroughly. Worth the visit! read more

I'm giving this place one star. Serve was very slow. We were here 35 mins before we got our food. When we got it my son and I had the poboys and the bread was molded. At first the girl was like it's just off the grill and we said no you can clearly see the mold hairs. All we got was a I'm sorry. No discount or only thing. Will not be returning. read more

Quaint little diner.. Yummy breakfast. If your looking for a good hearty breakfast I recommend this place. Had the country pile and it was delicious! read more

The breakfast food here is delicious and some of the other stuff is good, too. The hamburger are "eh,"though. PG's does stand for "Pitt Grill's," but they are not open 24 hours like Pitt Grill. read more

We went to Lake Charles to gamble but we also didn't want to stay in the casinos to eat the whole time we were there so my boyfriend and I decided to venture out. This is one of the first things that came up for breakfast so we gave it a try. When we arrived it didn't seem like anything special, just an old dinner. But once we looked at the menu we were very glad we chose this place. The menu was decent size (not to big to be overwhelmed and had a good variety). The items are also very reasonable. We are typically used to $10-$15 per person for breakfast in Austin so this seemed like a steal. If we go to Lake Charles again we will definitely hit this place up. It is a short drive from L'auburge. read more

Good place to eat they have a awesome sourdough burger .....if you been their you know what I'm talking about great place good atmosphere

I have been back there since and the food has improved. It is still not any amazing restaurant but it is way better than any of the fast food places. read more

Pretty good diner environment, service and good food.

Compared to the Pitt Grill restaurant in Prien Lake, PG's Diner is way better. In terms of service and food. My husband and I are very satisfied after the horrible experience we had from the other Pitt Grill Restaurant in Prien Lake. read more

I would have given 5 stars, but I wiped down my own table. As far as food, pecan waffle was good and bacon was amazing! Coffee could be stronger but overall I was satisfied. read more

I have been going to PG's for many years now. The staff is friendly, customer service is fantastic, and food is really good. They have what may be the best hamburger in Lake Charles. And don't forget the amazing onion rings. Will continue to be a regular! read more
