Came in for breakfast, and our food was incredibly yummy! Our server was also attentive and kind. I recommend eating here:)

From all appearances the Scotrun Diner is your typical hometown diner. Locally owned and operated in a great location for tourists and regulars. As always diners are a big hit or miss so I am going in hopeful. I was promptly seated as there was a good bit of customers and still plenty of open tables. Ordered a hot chocolate as I am a fiend for it. Although I dislike hot chocolates that are made with a water base, this was surprisingly tasteful. Placed an order for the 222 special, a pierogi appetizer, and chipped beef on toast. Took roughly 25 minutes to come out so not the best nor the worst. At first glance everything looked very bland, but I was always told looks can be deceiving so let's keep our hopes up. Nope, looks were spot on. Pierogis were more than likely Mrs. T's store bought and popped in the oven. So not terrible but not exactly desirable. My girlfriend enjoyed her 222 special but I'd say the eggs were more along the lines of 1 to 1.5 eggs max. And as for the chipped beef; it was severely lacking any kind of flavor. On top of that, rather underneath, the bread was not toasted and became a soft soggy mess from the gravy. Home fries were decent. All in all, the service was decent at best, and the food we ordered was also very mundane and bland. The saving grace for Scotrun's Diner has to be the omelets and desserts that I did not get to try. I did see and smell some go by and they looked sublime. Would try again and order something else. 2.5/5 read more

Scotrun Diner - Top to bottom: 222 special (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 choice of meat) Pierogis Chipped beef on white toast - Diners Near Me - Scotrun, Pennsylvania

After a long trip I stopped here for what I was hoping to be a good ol down home place filled with flavors unique to the area. I had about another 40 minute drive and I gotta tell you my ride home was full of regret. I was really disappointed with me and my companies meals. I had the pizza burger which had some flavor to it and kinda large but it was more like a cafeteria mass produced burger instead of what I was hoping for at a local diner. Even with the pizza cheese on it, it tasted pretty much bland. I should of knew this place wasn't gonna be delightful when I had to order a Sprite instead of the water I normally drink. The reason being is that there was some pink, what looked like sprinkles on the bottom of my water. To top it all off when the bill came for us it was $30! We could have ate so many other places with better food at that cost. If the bill came back $20 I would have gave this place a two star instead on the one star I'm giving it now. It just sucked here. Maybe it was just a bad night for the workers here but il probably not go back. Goo read more

The diner itself feels outdated but there's pretty limited options around. It's either pay resort prices or travel out to this little gem for breakfast. We stopped on the way in and again on the way back home. Breakfast is much cheaper than NY. The waitresses were very nice and attentive to the 8 of us. They never fussed when we asked for 4 different things each run around. The food came out quick, all the orders were correct and we all left very full and happy. The chicken and waffles was accompanied by a gravy that was really delicious. Idk what it was about the chicken but it was coated in a sweet batter. I have had crunchier chicken but wasn't complaining. They served an abundance of chicken for a single Belgium waffle. The breakfast burrito was egg, sausage and cheese that melted to the bottom of the wrap so hold it upside down a bit while it cools. The hash browns were really good! Deff a perfect match. My bf got French toast that's was nice and fluffy. We've all had better bacon but it wasn't fatty so I was happy. Coffee cups are super tiny. Time for a revamp. read more

Excellent breakfast spot! Food was delicious, hot and fast. Our server, Heather, was amazing! Very appreciative of the hard work she and her fellow servers were putting in. Place was busy and they didn't skip a beat. Highly recommend! read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was amazing. Came with party of 8 and each item we ordered was made perfectly. French toast is a must get !!! Cheeseburger perfectly cooked and juicy. French fries to die for!!!! Crispy fluffy inside. Pancakes light and simple no syrup needed. Out door dining a major plus! Also staff inside restaurant are friendly and helpful. Food prices are cheap breakfast platters less then $10. Authentic diner food. Glad we stop here before going home read more

Was quick (even though they were very busy! Staff was very nice. Great comfort breakfast food.

After reading the reviews I decided to try this diner. As soon as I stepped in I knew I made the right choice, we were greeted right away and given a booth by the window. Our waitress Brenda came over right away and took our drink order she was more then pleasant and had a great personality. I had a vegetable omelette with home fries and toast it was delicious. I would definitely recommend and return here . read more

Scotrun Diner - Diners Near Me - Scotrun, Pennsylvania

Delicious food, large portions and the friendliest service and owner! This will definitely be our new go-to for a great local diner.

Came here on a whim, because Hickory Valley Farm had a pipe burst (head there at least once during ur trip for bfast). Well, this place sat us promptly and had a solid selection for breakfast items. I ordered the pancakes and eggs, which was pretty good. Pancakes were pretty good, definitely my favorite part of the meal. The service was very fast, and the coffee was nice and strong which I always appreciate. I would avoid the steak and eggs, my hubby got it and the steak was super bland. Normally even just plain salt and pepper goes a long way with steak, but not even that was on it. Food was a decent price and considering the fast service, it makes this a solid option for breakfast. read more

This review is for the diner, only. My husband and I were on our way out of the Ponocos and needed somewhere to grab breakfast. Unfortunately for us there was construction on the main drag where we had seen several breakfast joints on the way in, and this was basically the last option before getting onto the highway. The only thing I can really say about this place is that it's a typical diner. The decor is dated, you feel like there's a thin layer of grime on everything, and there is only one toilet per gender (which means that you'll have to wait in line, awkwardly). The food did arrive quickly and our eggs were perfectly fine, so the Scotrun Diner met the need that we needed it to. read more

Second time visiting this place to escape the (ridiculous) pricing of Great Wolf Lodge. This diner has a reasonable priced menu, good fries and a great, blast from the past, vibe. Food is 'OK', it's depending on what you order (of course) how fresh it is but the cluck-cluck parmesan was kinda bland, my order, gyros with fries was good, kid's order of pasta, was bland. So, a 4-star if I had just eaten my meal, but now.... read more

Scotrun Diner - The innerts... - Diners Near Me - Scotrun, Pennsylvania

Okay so we had breakfast here with my husband's parents. We wanted to go somewhere else but they are diner people so off we went. The beautiful picture is the cup my lukewarm tea water came in..... yum! My food was wrong (sausages on top of my pancakes) vegetarians don't like it when sausage sits on pancakes :) My father in laws eggs were cold both of these issues were resolved by the very sweet waitress. The food was mediocre but the staff made up for it. The dessert list seemed great.... maybe if I am really hungry I will go back and give them a try but I sure as heck won't be ordering any hot drinks after seeing that cup!! Maybe I will try lunch since breakfast was a bust! There was a woman who was busing tables. She was super nice and spoke Spanish and called my son "senior" which got him all excited that she was speaking another language to him!! :) We even gave her a tip along with the waitress because she was working hard and being friendly. read more

Me and my fiancé are staying at wolf lodge hotel, the food there is so expensive so we wanted to look for a inexpensive place to have brunch this place fed us both for about 24$! The customer service was amazing as well it honestly has us considering moving here.. if a diner can convince you to move to a whole other state you know it's good!! read more

We stayed a few nights at Great Wolf Lodge, as we were leaving we were hoping to find a diner to have some breakfast at. We found Scotrun diner and we hit the mini jackpot. Super clean, very friendly staff, and good food. Bathrooms were spotless, and I can't say enough about the staff. Our kids actually ate breakfast, that in itself is amazing. The food is also very reasonably priced. Definitely will make this a regular stop on our Great Wolf trips. read more

Well established diner I've eaten at many times over many decades. On our most recent visit I had a hot open faced roast beef sandwich with fries and a cup of beef barley soup as a starter. All food served quickly served hot and fresh. Waitress was very friendly, well organized and efficient. We preferred to dine outdoors and they had a great set up of socially distanced tables covered with a large tent. I look forward to returning soon. read more

Omg!!! Horrible food!! Nice service. Came here when coming to the water park looking for cheap diner food. It was definitely cheap. Would never come back read more

Just what we were looking for. Friendly, seated right away, full breakfast selection with no arbitrary rules, and the food was good, solid diner food. Our waitress was great. The bacon was crispy, the home fries were perfectly browned, crispy and delicious. I had an omelet and my wife had French toast. The omelet was cooked and seasoned just right. It's a hit or miss world. Glad we followed the reviews to this place, after being informed that the previous place we tried only served breakfast on Sundays, which is ridiculous, to say the least. read more

My family stops in every fall on my sister's birthday trip, and it's at the top of our list if we find ourselves in the area any other time of year. Nothing fancy or over-the-top, just friendly, people and tasty food -- exactly what we're looking for. Our server, Jennifer, was incredible. She is kind, funny, and great to chat with, as well as accommodating of our large party and order modifications. Not to mention the food was great and reasonably priced, and our vegetarian friend was able to find a meal she enjoyed. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. We have been on a 3 month work assignment and was finding it very difficult to find a place to eat other than pizza or deli in the Poconos. The Scotrun Diner is the place that makes you feel like home. Friendly atmosphere, quick service, home cooked meals, very reasonable cost, huge helpings, homemade desserts and lots of selections. This is the meatloaf dinner. Enough to have leftovers to take home for a great price and very tasty. This is the lunch I had today and plenty to take home for later. read more

Scotrun Diner - Diners Near Me - Scotrun, Pennsylvania

After 2 disappointing attempts at having a good dinner in Tannersville, brunch at the diner was the best meal, and also the cheapest, who would've thought? Now, it's truly unfortunate that the town this diner is named after is so close to another word that isn't safe for this review, but it certainly made me laugh. The service was good, the food was what you expect out of a diner, not bad, not great, but certainly worthy of its price. I had the salsa omelette and while it came off as just an omelette with a can of salsa from the fridge dumped on it, it hit the spot. The cheese in the omelette also was a nice touch. The potatoes were cooked well, and a good helping on the side. Everyone else was decently satisfied with their food, ranging from pancakes to eggs to mozzarella sticks. Honestly, it's a diner in rural Pennsylvania. You'll get alright food for alright prices, and if that's what you want, that is what you'll find. Also, it has that classic diner look and decor, much appreciated. Overall, Scotrun (hehe) Diner was better than two, much more expensive/high end restaurants that I went to, and that should tell you something about the food choices in the area. Maybe stick to cooking your own food on your stay in the Poconos. read more

I've been here many times over the years service is always good and the food is cooked right they pay attention and the pricing is also Fair. They also have alcohol here if that interests you read more

Found this place on our way to great wolf and decided to try it up since they was nothing else close by at the time.while at the diner I order chicken soup but when it came out it had a bug in the soup.was very disappointed because they seem to have good menu for me and my family but I left could not stay knowing that the kitchen might be dirty read more

Stopped in this family diner for brunch. My wife had the corned beef sandwich, son had pancakes and I had a western omelette. Great portion sizes and the food is fresh and delicious. Anyone complaining about this place should go back to NYC and eat their foo-foo vegan crap food. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. We'll definitely stop here again. read more

Such a cute diner. Decided to have breakfast here on our way back to NY. Such a welcoming place with friendly staff and patrons. Ordered the typical.. pancakes, western omelette and breakfast sandwich with coffee. Everything was yummy and affordable. Ample parking, clean establishment, great service= win win win. read more

Food was great! Waitress was very friendly! Everything was just what we ordered will return here

The worst experience ever. Starting with Handicap parking out by the garbage. A ramp door you have to ring a bell to be let in. Waited more than five minutes. Inside is dirty and in deplorable condition. The Waitress was rude and inattentive. We started with coffee, which ended our visit. Sour tasting with a peculiar odor. Coffee cups where not properly washed. Lipstick on the outside and inside of the cup. Prices are expensive for very small portions. As we noticed what was being brought to the brave patrons. Save your time and money. Not worth the trip, even if you were already there. Avoid at the cost of your pallette. read more

I've been coming to pa for 20 years and the food is consistent . Service is always friendly food Is hot when it's brought to the table . Just wish they Served real mashed potatoes and not instant . Boxed potatoes shouldn't be allowed at any restaurant jmo . Coffee cups could Be bigger because 3 sips and your looking for a refill . Thank you for a good meal read more

"If you could get your order in quickly that would be great" These are things you shouldn't say to your customers just because they are coming in an hour before you are supposed to close. -Garden Salad had brown shriveled pieces -hash browns are just frozen and heated up -doesn't seem as though anything is made fresh. Just prepackaged and generic food. On a positive note the owner gentleman was very nice and hospitable. read more

This simple dinner has the best food and is a great bargain in the land of Great Wolf Lodge. Instead of eating the very expensive buffet at Great Wolf Lodge we ventured out and found this diner. It was clean, warm and friendly. The food was just what we hoped for, great. They had many options for breakfast and were very accommodating to picky kids and toddlers. This is a great place for a family, Sunday Brunch or a quick bit for everyone. The staff was extremely receptive and accommodating and service was prompt and served with a big SMILE. We ate there 4 times while visiting GWL. I recommend this place for lunch and dinner if you are at the outlets too! read more

We stumbled on this place while visiting great wolf lodge and weren't disappointed for breakfast!!! The lodge has a buffet which is horrible and expensive.

While staying at Camelback, started googling for hearty but affordable diners nearby. Lucky to have found Scotrun Diner, not only was the food filling and yummy, but the service was great, courteous and professional. Place was also well kept and clean. Good job to the management of this place. Strongly recommend! Oh and the coffee tastes freshly brewed not like other stale diners read more

Only giving one star as 1/4 star is not available. Who puts raw onion in a grilled chicken wrap? The "grilled" chicken was boiled and slightly older than me. My mother-in-law almost broke her jaw trying to eat the pork chops. The dinner rolls were heavy like rocks , although a rock may be easier to chew. I will take the mashed potatoes in a to-go box: I need some mortar to repair my front steps. If you order the Greek salad, you will get a plate of feta plus a leaf of lettuce. $40 for three people plus the cost of dental surgery. As for the decor--think 1970's including the dark wood paneling. I would have included pictures but you know how you can't see a picture of vampires/the undead? The one good spot is that the staff is friendly; however, slightly depressed read more

Went looking for an alternative to the great wolf lodge food. We were all very happy. Eggs were cooked to perfection and veggie burger had a nice flavor. Pickle were fresh and french fries were excellent. My daughter loved the perigees and the staff was very friendly. We will visit again. read more

Excellent!! This place was spotless. The food was great. The service was awesome. Covid protocols were well managed. Highly recommend.

I came here for my mother's birthday. We were staying at Great Wolf Lodge and this diner is great! The food was good I ordered the everything Omelette which included mushrooms,cheese,I believe broccoli and more with toast. My family had a good time and my mom loved her slice of cake for her birthday. The waitress was amazing I don't remember but I will definitely be going again. read more
