Service was exceptional!  Waitress was VERY nice and was 2 steps ahead of you each time.  Large portions, food was delicious!  They should probably invest in some improvements,  specifically the benches in the booths.  Other than that, would return. read more

Second time here. I arrived close to closing time, but everyone was pleasant. I had a burger, onion rings and chicken livers. All was very good, and enough livers for four people. I'm stopping back just for the livers read more

Really cute lil diner Best darn chicken livers in almost anywhere We drove 75 miles just to have a plate full. The mashed potatoes are homemade and quite the way to round out the meal. Applesauce on the side. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Overall it's the awesome experience we have enjoyed with our trucking students for over 5 years. Tradition!! The pic has Richard's favorite, extra gravy on the livers read more

You can't beat the food cooked to order! Friendly wait staff. Famous Chef Salads with either pulled Ham or Chicken with their House dressing! Large proportions and reasonable prices! You can order anything on the menu at any time of the day! I have been a customer here since I can remember! My dad would often take me out to eat there for a Pizzaburger or a Bacon Cheeseburger and fresh cut fries. Quantity and quality is always experienced with every order and if you dine in the back, the walls are covered in Coca Cola memorabilia and the front of the restaurant allows for you the customer to experience watching them cook your order on their flat grill that makes everything taste better! If you have never tried this little diner that's been a staple in this community for as long as I can remember, you need to go there and see for yourself! read more

Well I return to see if service was much better. Well the Chicken & Waffles for $10. You got to be kidding. This Diner is a complete joke. What is Chicken & Waffles ever have shredded chicken. I Do Not Recommend this place. If I could rate you A Negative I would 2 months ago Well the best word i have to say is friendly staff. Great menu and Prices The food was undesirable. It was executed all wrong. Salad was just lettuce and thin tomatoes slices. The Veal was so gross it stayed No take home for this Place... I would not recommend. read more

This is a cool old fashion diner. Service is great from long time friendly employees. Place is not fancy and food is good with reasonable prices. Breakfast is always great with old fashion grill home fries. Place is Coke inspired, so don't ask for Pepsi. Smile. read more

Cleanenss is not that great here. If anything it could be a little scary. I loved how they had it decorated. It was a little dated and worn. But it was still neet. I really didn't enjoy what i ordered. The prices on value were overall affordable. If i come back it would be on value. Service was average. Nothing bad to say about it. read more

Red's Diner - Inside area - Diners Near Me - Lewistown, Pennsylvania

A nice little hole in the wall. The food is good. Old fashion breakfast. Prices are good. read more

Ate there 6 months ago and told waitress food was spoiled. She couldn't have cared less. Was sick all day. Now I see there was a food inspection with 15 safety violations. Live and learn I guess.​ read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! We didn't even make it passed the front counter. At first glance you could tell it was a greasy spoon type restaurant--don't get me wrong--I've eaten in my share and they are usually GREAT!! This place looked disgustingly dirty. And as soon as we walked in, the guy behind the counter pointed to our masks--and said "you don't need them in here!" Looking around, not one of the employees had a mask on. REALLY?!?!?! What don't these idiots understand about a mask mandate?!? DO NOT stop at this grimy, germ infested, COVID cafe--you just may be sorry!!! read more

I had breakfast and my husband had a club sandwich with fries. Our food was good... not great, but good. Our waitress was attentive and nice. The place looks like it could use a good thorough cleaning though. Typical roadside diner so you shouldn't expect too much. read more

Great little hole in the wall diner. Food is fresh & served piping hot. Portions are generous, prices are fantastic. Only passing through on our way home from a vacation. But the next time I'm out this way I will definitely stop in again read more

Truly awful food. Everything looks like it came out of 40 year old cans that were cheap even back then. Their gravy resembles vomit in texture and appearance. The chicken was shredded, and came with whatever goo was in the can it came from. I sent back the chicken and waffles, and asked for a burger instead. Naively I thought "how could they screw up a burger?" I was shown how. The buns were probably the cheapest they could find from whatever gas station was closest, the patty was cold (but still cooked, which means they cook em ahead of time), the ketchup was mostly water, and the tomato tried to choke me out. I had to stab it with a plastic spork so I could get away. read more

If you ever wanted to taste an undercooked fart, Definitely a go to spot. Food, regardless of the number of times we've gone back is undercooked. read more

Locally famous for onion rings and fried chicken which, to Red's credit, are actually quite good. Bring lots of hand sanitizer and expect to leave smelling of smoke and grease. This place puts the grease in "greasy spoon." read more

What can I say about this place. IT'S A TRUCK STOP. I got a hot dog and a burger. My high school lunch was little better then this. There was no chili for the dogs and burger was subpar compare to McDonald's burger. But I tried. Next time, I will get something home made instead of standard food. read more

While this is the epitome of the Greasy Spoon I cannot think of any meal that was not good. Their Hot sandwiches are some of the best around locally not to mention the gravy fries. Make me hungry just writing about it. The cons that hold this back from being one of the best in the area is the cleanliness. If the owners invest the money to clean up the decor they would probably see it returned three fold in business increase. The other thing that makes me cringe at times is the lack of pride of the staff. Wait staff's uniform and uniform cleanliness should be top priority. It would also be advisable for the cooks to stay out of the dinning area. While this applies to almost all restaurants the owners here should demand it or have a tougher appearance rules. read more

Chef salads are good. Very nice portion size too. The place could use a good cleaning though

Appearance: Greasy spoon is the best way to describe the diner. Staff: Sometimes ok and sometimes aloof and oblivious to the fact that they are indeed there to wait tables. Food: I must preface this with the fact that I am not from Central Pa. Where I come from "pot pit" is actually a pie with chicken or another meat with gravy and various vegetables (hence the name). I warned that person that I went with that in CenPenn pot pie is different from what we are used to. What came out was an amalgamous mess of potatoes and some gelatinous substance that I assume was supposed to be the noodles and gravy. I ordered the big country breakfast which was good. The hash browns were greasy. In the past I have had chicken fingers and fries, they were ok. I have had cream chip beef on two separate occasions. The first time I ordered it it was good which warranted me to order it again. The second time it was overly salty. Don't expect much and you will be happy. read more

Going to Reds Diner its always aesthetically pleasing, but the food is garbage, either cold, you get the wrong order, or hair in your food. If you ask for the correct order it's followed by attitude. Not worth it. If you're feeling to lazy to go there's plenty of other places it town to eat from. read more

Red's is another Mifflin County legend. It's not terrible...but it's not exactly four star cuisine, either. The salads and "messes" are always amazing, though, especially their chef salads with house dressing. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends after the bars close. It's super greasy, though...so be extra prepared. read more

This place has a typical diner environment. The food is great and the service is fast. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a quick, cheap breakfast. read more

If you're a clean freak, don't go to Reds. But if you want a hot meal at reasonable prices, with friendly service - Reds is the place to go. If you enjoy garlic, the house salad is really tasty. read more

Good coffee, fast service, best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. Also clean restrooms.

The dirty restaurant. Bathroom is disgusting so dirty. All the food is soaked in grease and I ask the waitress is the grease they are using old and she just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. I do believe only way they know how to cook is to fry in old grease. Will not go there again been to a lot of dinner 's but this is the worst one. I would rather spend a little more money and have better food not dripping with grease. read more

Quite disgusting food. Ordered a cheeseburger and fries, and watched as my sandwich sat on the window for 10 minutes before the fries were done... and the fries were horrible, tasted like they were fried 2 or 3 times. My cup was dirty too. read more

Definitely a greasy spoon diner. If you're not concerned with cleanliness, quality of the food or service, this is the place for you. My wife would insist on coming here occasionally and then regret it afterwards. read more

we used to go to red;s quite often. It has changed and on the last visit we could hardly eat the meals..The waitresses have changed to and are no where like before. I don't know if I will ever go back. You will need to change clothes when you go home.. you will smell like grease/ read more

I've been to Red's Diner occasionally for the past 25 years. Back in the day, Red's food was out of this world and the atmosphere was unparalleled. I just had a meal there about a week ago, and besides not being impressed, I was actually turned off. The staff is so unprofessional it's ridiculous. The kitchen staff was out front talking and flirting with the waitresses. The waitresses were constantly criticizing their boss and the rules they have to follow and weren't even trying to be quiet about it. Then came the food. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which has always been favorite meal there. The waffles tasted burnt, and the gravy made me wonder how many days it had been sitting in the kitchen prior to that day. Disgusting. Also, it was apparent that the staff very much disliked their jobs, so it wasn't surprising that most of them appeared to have slept in their uniforms. No pride whatsoever. The biggest turnoff of all was the owner. He kept flirting with the waitresses and hitting on them as though the customers customers weren't able to hear him. It's obvious that Red's is soon going to be bankrupt and the owner doesn't care, or else his actions would've been different. This is one diner I won't be going back to. read more

This place has been open since time eternal food is cheap fair quality Real greasy spoon. Famous for its fried chicken but the chicken I had tasted like used motor oil. Perhaps I as there at the wrong time. The place sure could use a real cleaning read more
