Cozy little old school dinner. Perfect place for old favorites and older friends. Definitely order 1 pancake for the table

Food was delicious, the service was prompt and friendly. The vibe of the restaurant made me feel like I was in my hometown again. Those pancakes are big (and delicious) be ready to share. read more

Sharon's Place - Egg cheese and hot sausage on a hard roll and a single banana pancake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

The staff here was friendly and welcoming, making it a popular spot for locals. The pancakes were enormous and delicious, but unfortunately, the hash browns fell short. They were simply cubed potatoes with no seasoning, peppers or onions--just bland and barely browned, as the pictures show. The eggs were decent, as you can't go wrong there, and the bacon was good. However, the sausage was unexpected; it was regular Italian sausage offered in hot or sweet, which felt out of place for a breakfast spot. When you order eggs with sausage you expect breakfast sausage especially on a Sunday morning at 10:45 am! My biggest concern was the wait time. Despite the busy atmosphere, it took nearly an hour and a half for our meals to arrive. That's quite unacceptable for a small establishment unless there's a valid reason. After reading several other reviews, it seems this is a recurring issue. Unfortunately, I don't plan on returning. The two stars are for the large pancake and the friendly waitress. By the way, CASH ONLY!! read more

Eat where the locals eat and you can never go wrong. Super nice people and a place like "Cheers" where if you are a local everyone knows your name... probably what you like to drink and eat as well. For us out of town'ers this was a great breakfast stop. As soon as one of our guests ordered two pancakes they gave a warning on just how big they were. Throwing caution to the wind they ordered two anyway. As soon as they arrived everyone near us looked on as if a food challenge had just started. Some joked that a shirt should be given if they were finished. Indeed they became lunch and dinner too. No frills and definitely inflation busting prices but we liked the homemade feel and real sausage served with our breakfast. On the weekend it was certainly busy but that's expected. read more

The slowest diner I've ever been to, and maybe even the slowest restaurant. Unbelievably bad service for subpar food. Go literally anywhere else. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The place had a hometown feel with regulars all around. The waitstaff was helpful and happy. Cash only, with an ATM inside. Would absolutely stop again or make a special stop to eat here! That Cinnabon pancake was incredible!!! read more

Nice staff. Small place feel with lots of locals. Food was hot but a bit basic. It's a good place if you like the standard breakfast fair.

Never got my order. 44 mins & 3 coffee refills. If I could give it no stars I would. Do not come here. Shame.

I'm revising my previous good review because of awful treatment we received today, Sunday, March 9, 2025, When we arrived it was busy, so we waited patiently for our order to be taken. Gradually the restaurant emptied out, but our order was not served to us. We were never offered coffee refills while waiting. No one stopped by our table at all. After more than 40 minutes of waiting, with most tables empty and close to closing time, servers were ignoring us, and a young couple that arrived more than ten minutes after we did received their food. There was no sign of any food being prepared on the flat-top for us. We never received our order before leaving. We stayed quiet and did not complain. I believe that the servers disliked us for some reason and decided that we would not receive our food. I can't put in writing what possible reasons are, but I do not recommend this place for anyone but locals. read more

Great old school breakfast place. Prices amazing especially in these days of the egg shortage. I had a delicious western omelette, while my friend managed to get through half of one of their gigantic blueberry pancakes. She said they were delicious with multiple blueberries in each bite. Service was top notch especially considering how busy they were. read more

Never a bad meal or price! Great off the beaten path breakfast spot. This little greasy spoon delivers great huge pancakes, french toast, omelettes, egg sandwiches, and other breakfast delights. Brunch items, burgers etc. great service. Worth the wait if there is a line. read more

Food is great but don't be hungry as you wait wait wait. The ambiance is of a luncheonette back in the day. Stools at the counter

Simply put Sharon's is great for breakfast as the omelettes, eggs and bacon are perfectly done. The staff is very nice and attentive. The location is also awesome and has nice views outside big windows looking on to Washington Ave. I need to come back for lunch! read more

It's a diner. Pancakes the size of the plate looked delicious. The omelettes had lots of stuffing. I had the mushroom and cheese and my mother had the vege. I will say the homefries were terrible. Cold and bland. Zero seasoning. Neither of us liked them. I thought the fact the place was a diner, they would be tasty but they were disappointing. Prices were good for breakfast. read more

I posted this on my Facebook page : Todays adventure: I had breakfast in Scranton, PA at a little diner called Sharon's Place. To get there I drove through potholed streets and neighborhoods that looked like both homes and businesses needed a little TLC. Sharon's place is a small storefront diner that looks like it has been there for a very long time (like most of Scranton). I was a bit apprehensive at first, but it was highly recommended on Yelp, the tiny parking lot was full, I was hungry and I had some time to kill before the next stop I wanted to make (insert drumroll) the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour! Inside the diner was a counter and several tables with the cook busy at a griddle against the wall right behind the counter ...no back kitchen. Scanning the options, I sat at a table in the back and noticed that, like myself, most of the patrons there were older folks. I had to smile at the 70's rock music being played, and the group of 6 or 7 old guys gathered together at the counter having a good time together. They looked like old buddies that meet at the diner regularly....I hoped it was because of the food. The 1 waitress (Pamela) was super friendly, and keep coming back to my table to chat with me, eventually even introducing me to others at a nearby table as "her friend Anne", her new friend from Florida. She was so excited about my plans to visit the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour ..she has lived in Scranton most of her life and recommended the tour along with a few other highlights. One old guy at the counter said, "I thought the tour was only open on the weekends?" I told him the website shows it open as of April 1, with tours operating every hour. Some folks were surprised at my interest in their little gem, but who wouldn't want to descend 300 feet below the earths surface to learn about the fascinating history of coal mining? I said goodbye to my new diner friends and headed about 2 miles away to the park where the coal mine tour was located. Sadly, when I got there it looked like the guy in the diner was right, everything was closed up and I was the lone car in the parking lot. I got a few pictures outside just to say I was there! I have no regrets, my breakfast in Scranton was fun and I met some really nice people. If you ever find yourself in this area, check out Sharon's Place, and as a bonus, if you go on a weekend you can do the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour - I would love to know how it is! read more

Perfectly crispy bacon in a very welcoming environment. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

We were looking for a local breakfast place instead of yet another hotel breakfast - Sharon's was wonderful. we arrived in the midst of their breakfast rush, and they still got to us quickly. Real home fries, real bacon, good food, reasonable prices, generous portions, good service. Definitely recommended, we'll be back when we're in the area again! Restaurant sign is only on the building and parking can be interesting when they're busy. Cash only - not a problem for us. read more

Awesome spot! Great food even greater prices and I enjoyed every bite. The breakfast sandwich was yummy on a national roll and I came in when they had the pumpkin pancakes so I ate that up :) can't go wrong stopping in for a bite just be warned the dining area is on the smaller side so it can get busy. read more

I've been here many times since opening in 2008-09. Never have had a bad meal. Always fair prices, excellent food. This trip on July 6 2023 was no different. Well made omelette and timely. Blueberry pancakes to go huge and bigger than the takeout container. Staff has mostly been the same since opening and the cook is military precise. Everything you want in a neighborhood diner! read more

Sharon's was a local eatery we found on Yelp near our hotel. Looks like an old 7-11 building, but don't let that stop you. Food was excellent as we were there for breakfast and the staff friendly. My wife ordered a pancake (huge by the way), son ordered Strawberry stuffed French toast, I ordered breakfast platter. I did not give them 5 Stars because they only take cash. read more

Awesome little diner - people were packed in when my son and I stopped by at the end of breakfast rush and so we were seated pretty quickly. This is not a higher-end, clean-and-neat restaurant to satisfy upscale tastes or a desire for inventive flair. No, it is simple, really good diner food at a fair price in a no-frills place. Know what you are getting -- here, it is just very good grub, served pretty quickly. read more

Fantastic dinner-plate sized pancakes! We were warned by a fellow diner to only order one when we were talking about getting a short stack. I was only able to finish half!! Eggs, bacon, home fries are good and steady staples. Looks like a place frequented with regulars, and the service is friendly! Can't wait to come back and try their omelettes! Definitely a hidden treasure. read more

I was in town for wedding and we wanted a quick, filling breakfast before we started our long drive home and that is exactly what we got! Sharon's while small is mighty and so are the portions! The pancakes were huge, but delicious. They were hearty, fluffy, and filled with fresh blueberries. The homefries were flavorful and crispy. The service was friendly and engaging. Sharon's seems like the place to be on a Sunday morning. A lot of nearby restaurants were closed so we were excited to find this gem. The food was served quickly, hot, and for a great price. Next time I'm passing through Scranton, I will definitely be making a stop here! read more

Nice people, food was bland. Scranton does not have many elite great spoons any more, and I was hoping this one. Maybe a bad day

What a great local restaurant for breakfast! Forget the suit and tie, dress for comfort and try to get a table. If the tables are full, screw up your courage and grab a seat at the counter. Everyone knows everyone, and if you are a visitor, you will too if you care to chat. Great food, especially the pancakes (the size of a dinner plate) and the omelets are superb. Think "Cheers" but for breakfast and without the booze. We loved it. read more

The food was ok. Small place, that a lot of locals visit. They have 6 tables that seat 4 people and 2 tables near the window that sit 2 people. There is counter space to sit. The prices were good. Our bill was under $20 for two people. You have to ask for the home fries well done. The reviews on here about the "plate cake" are true. This is a cash only place. read more

We found thus place here in Yelp while visiting to see a SWB baseball game. Looking for a good but inexpensive breakfast to feed a man and 2 teen boys. We found a fantastic place. The neighborhood is a bit industrial so that could give someone pause, but the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. My youngest had the pancake and raved over it. The only "problem" was that he couldn't finish it! My older was pretty happy about that because he did and loved it too. The egg sandwiches were HUGE. Totally filling and delicious. I asked for my home fries well done and they came owefect My youngest liked it so much he gave an extra tip to the waitress! This place is a must go to in town! read more
