I was on my way home from a road trip & wanted a meal and a break from driving. I found Rhonda's Emerald Diner here on Yelp. It was exactly the kind of place I like. Super cute train car theme that looked authentic. The menu had everything -- breakfast, lunch, nice dinners. I got one of their breakfasts -- eggs, bacon, French toast, and some of the best potatoes I've had. Simple but good. And the prices were extremely reasonable. This is a place where local people go. I think I was the only customer that the server didn't know! I wish I lived close by because I would become a regular, too. read more

Let me just say this is a great little find hidden in Hubbard. ( Not hidden right on Main Street in Hubbard). Finally decided to check this diner out tonight. Glad we did. Our waitress was Charlene and she was overly pleasant and gave us a few recommendations on what to get. She wasn't wrong with her suggestions. Thanks Charlene. We had beef tips and noodles and a chicken Philly with fries. Food was great and everyone in the restaurant wished us a Merry Xmas on the way out. Very welcoming friendly place. We will definitely return for breakfast since this place gets pretty busy on the weekends. It's close to home and we will definitely return. We also had a few drinks and an appetizer peppers and oil with warm fresh bread. Very tasty. We had a boozy pina colada shake ( delicious) I also asked for a pina/daquari (not on the menu but I asked if Charlene could mix the 2 and this drink was delicious). Give this place a try if you're in Hubbard Ohio. read more

Stopped here on the way to Kraynaks. The food was fabulous and our waitress was even better! We never had to ask for anything as she was on top of it. Even the little grandkids said how good it was We would drive the 2 hours to eat here again read more

Find this gem on a whim while staying in town. The place is so cool and the food is great. Small town feel, and great prices.

We sure love this place. A relaxed environment with a touch of nostalgia- and love the Boozy Shakes !! read more

This past Saturday, I finally had the opportunity to dine here, well visiting my adopted grandma. My mom and I were fans of diners in different areas we would visit, to support local, and not eating at chain restaurants. The diner itself had that classic feel, loved how the menu items were themed around 50's and 60s . As I quote, my mom would state " You know a restaurant and diner is good, if older people are there eating. She was correct, and I'm sure she would have enjoyed dining here as well. The service was fine, food was appetizing and the wait wasn't bad being earlier on a Saturday. The prices were reasonable, and the concept of boozy milkshakes, and alcoholic drinks were unique too see at a diner. The portion sizes were large, and I'm sure everything is great on the menu. read more

Horrible salty food, runny mash potatoes, salty bouillon gravy, Salisbury steak was ordered. Sister had turkey dinner, the same, to salty, runny lumpy potatoes and bouillon gravy. We couldn't believe a restaurant would serve such slop. First time there, will NEVER go back. The only thing good about it was we paid zero. What a shame, cute restaurant too. Waitress was very nice. Really deserved a -0 but #1 was all I could use to post this review. read more

What a pleasant surprise !! Clean, Inviting, and spacious. Ordered a diner classic. CheeseBurger and fries . So good and perfectly cooked! I will come here again to try another sandwich or a home cooked comfort meal. read more

This place is amazing. Being from NY I am used to that certain type of menu. This one is top notch. Wedding soup was all meatballs greens and chicken super full serving. I had the Chubbys chicken salad was amazing. My friends had A burger cooked to perfection and eggs potatoes and thick cut bacon. We shared the hot chips they were absolutely fresh. I messed up we were starving and I was not thinking about photos. They have adult milk shakes with many choices with boozy add ins. Quite a concept. The appetizer options were amazing. Waitress was super friendly and took great care of us. This is a diamond choice to go and eat here. I can't wait to come back. Everything was absolutely delicious. read more

Everything that we have had there including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Have. Been excellent.

We were not served! The Emerald F'n Diner. How crappy that it closes at 7pm as we got there 5 minutes before it closes. It must be nice Not to want to work for extra cash!!! I guess they don't need the business. read more

This could be an interesting diner, but the food was not very good. Tables needed cleaning. Music playing was not appropriate for the diner. The whole restaurant, inside and outside needs some tender loving care. read more

Just left..We came in, several empty tables. Every one of them was dirty. We finally decided on the least dirty one and wiped it down ourselves. No one stopped by, but we got an earful of the waitress griping about how busy she was and how she was going to walk out. This continued for a while, and then picked back up. No one came over or even said it'll be a minute. Eventually, we got tired of it and left. So, if you feel like cleaning for free, this is your spot. read more

I loved my stop here! Food was fantastic and the service was spot on. Boozy milkshakes were a hit. I look forward to coming back. read more

Great kitschy 50's diner feel. Had the Reuben sandwich and a Diet Coke. The meat was soft and tender, not noticeably chewy or tendony. Free refills on the soda was cool. Nice value meal. read more

When we pulled into the parking lot, it was packed. We had to walk around the whole restaurant before we could find a table. We had to wait 20 minutes before we could get service. Once we finally got our orders in we had to wait about another half hour before we got our food. But the food was good, classic and filling. It was very clean. I would recommend it for take out but not dine in. read more

I'm bummed we missed the pot roast.... But the sweet corn nuggets were awesome!! BLT & Philly steak were solid ;-)

This review is based on service and cleanliness. I was not only never served. My order was never taken despite waiting almost 30 minutes. We did get drinks. 1 of the four were wrong. 2 of the four adult drinks were child size. When someone asks for diet. Assume they are diabetic. I didn't get diet. That is dangerous. The tables around us were all dirty. Instead of cleaning them. They put a reserved sign on. Our server dropped off our drinks and we never saw her her again. When we did see her she was very obviously less than happy to see us. We waited 25 minutes. Me without a drink because mine wasn't diet as I ordered. Figured out we were never going to see a server again. Went to pay for our four drinks. Two of which were child sized though child sized not ordered. One of which was wrong. $9.43 for just the drinks. Zero stars would not recommend. I know that the new cool thing to do is offer subpar service and blame the pandemic and being short staffed due to extended unemployment benefits Went down to C's waffles and our order was taken within 3 minutes. I believe C's is probably functioning under the same conditions. Yet they are clean and friendly. read more

Saw this place on channel 8 news. 4 of us stopped there for breakfast. Place is really cool. Service top notch. Food was great.

Main Counter. Great place only half a mile south of 80. East to find. Clean and great food.

Stopped for lunch today, food was good, but service sucked, took forever to get waited on, and another forever to get our food, chop chop waitresses, gotta be quicker! read more

The food is good and I love to support local restaurants. It's a nice-looking, retro vibe. Like other reviews said, the service is slow. I get that it is tough to staff restaurants so I try to be patient and gracious. What bugs me is that they blast Fox News. It's a pretty small space and I'm usually next to a table full of Boomers complaining loudly about politics. That really messes up the vibe and makes the wait rough. read more

The food, service, owners and staff, in a word....EXCELLENT! This place and the owners deserve all the success!!!!

Hot or miss food. Never know what I'm going to get with this place. Sometimes the food is good and other times it's not. Very inconsistent. Noticed the last time my husband and I were there none of the employees were wearing masks. Seemed strange since every other restaurant in Hubbard has had their employees wearing them. Won't be back. read more

Doesn't matter what you order on the menu, everything is good . Waitress staff is excellent as well

love the old diner car and the oldies music! this place is soo clean and the prices and food cant be beat! they don't rush you, endless cup of coffee and great pie definitely go there, you wont be disappointed read more
