Holy crap. If you want to have to listen to people blindly discuss right wing politics come here. Food was ok, not great. If you're on a budget and can stomach a bunch of right wing bullshit then definitely hit this place up! read more

We just happened to notice the diner after we jumped off the turnpike to grab a bite to eat - our main goal, not to eat service plaza food. As soon as we entered, we were told to grab an open table....we found one that was free of dirty plates. We sat down and were excited to order - I especially couldn't wait to try a slice of pie. We waited for 10 min....no server. I noticed another couple had been waiting just as long...actually longer and had also not been greeted/placed a drink order. My husband pointed out that the server was helping a lady, who couldn't decide, buy a slice of pie. After about 20 min, we left. Not that anyone working there noticed the lost business. We were traveling with our infant daughter and the wait just wasn't worth it - we were already on borrowed time. Disappointing - we were excited to try something new. However....lesson learned. Stick to the service plazas or big name restaurants while traveling and in a time pinch. The food may be disappointing but someone is sure to serve you in a timely manner. read more

I'm fairly undiscriminating when it comes to diners, but even by those standards this place was just average. The breakfast food was mediocre and the portions not large. read more

We were excited to try it after reading reviews from other yelpers. Love to support local restaurants but unfortunately, we thought it was just okay. Atmosphere is typical cute diner with very friendly wait staff. Our food is the the part that was disappointing. The home fries and roast beef were highly recommended... The roast beef was stringy and tough and the home fries had potential but needed to be seasoned a little more. The food network will be featuring their gob cake so we really wanted to try it.... Extremely disappointed, all 6 of us tried it and no one liked it at all... and we are sweet lovers. It was dry, tasted like the refrigerator... No one finished it, couldn't. Hamburgers were good, fries were fresh cut which is always good. The lemon meringue pie tasted fake, if that's possible, we couldn't finish that either. Sorry summit diner we really wanted to like you but just didn't... read more

HORRABLE, GOT THE BREAKFAST SPECIAL AND THE sausage tasted like worn out shoe leather. waited (once we got in) almost an hour and a quarter. Waitress was rude (Believe she was the owner) would seem that would be the only person to get away with it without being fired. Way too long a wait between when the drink order was placed then served and when the menu order was placed then served. I reliaze it was a busy Sunday morning but waiting well over an hour is completly unacceptable. Next time Eat n Park, Crazy Alices or Kings. read more

This place is not veggie-friendly and especially not vegan-friendly. They have a veggie burger on the menu but no longer actually have/serve them. Is it so difficult to keep some veggie burgers in the freezer? We had to resort to grilled cheese. read more

You just can't go to Somerset and not have breakfast at the Summit Diner. The eggs are done correctly and the bacon is excellent. Service is friendly and very good. read more

pretty good place its a Diner its not a 4 Star place I ordered Breakfast (for lunch) all in all pretty tasty my other 2 traveling companions seemed to enjoy their burgers read more

Typical diner fare. Tasty and inexpensive. Wide selection of delicious pies. Would return if in area again.

Someone put a lot of love and care into making this place retro yet not run down. It's an adorable fifties diner with a pleasant staff. The syrup in the pancakes was great. They even sell it. I was stuffed after a short stack with two eggs. The coffee was nothing fancy, but I was at a diner and was expecting diner coffee anyway. They kept offering refills and I kept accepting. read more

wonderful lil establishment...food was delicious and i will frequent while in somerset

I found this diner while taking my family on a camping trip- WOW, food is wonderful. Good old fashioned cooking with a good variety. My wife's family owned a diner in greensburg back in the 80's were she worked and ate and I have to say that this place reminds me of home. If your ever in the area and want a place to eat with great food and affordable prices, this is it !!!! read more

Only had the graham cracker pie, but that alone was worth the trip. Great environment, with frequent classic car shows fittingly hosted behind this 50s era diner. read more

In our way from DC to Muncie IN. Stopped for lunch with the kids and had a great lunch and break! Highly recommended!

Everything we ate was delicious. Hamburger with pb&j, hot turkey sandwich, hotdog, spaghetti, home fries, mashed potatoes, coconut cream pie - ALL DELICIOUS!!!! Great service, great price. Will stop here again when we pass through PA. read more

Great food, Rueben tasted really good, tried roast beef, turkey & steak. All in all everything was good & home made.

Awesome incredible pies and coffee. Jamie was an excellent waitress with amazing personality.

Good food typical for a diner. Except for the pies, which are about the best I have ever had. Service left something to desired, but good qualities outweigh that. read more

I loved the Summit Dinner. 6 bucks for liver and onions, home made pie, good soup. On the PA Turnpike it was always my destination stop, until last November. I eagerly pulled up but to my consternation there was a huuuge "Make America Great " banner across their front. Well, they can believe what they want and they can be as political as they want, but I got a really bad taste in my mouth from being there...and it lingers on. There are equally good pie joints all over, especially along The Lincoln Highway and they aren't making me have to make political decisions about how to spend my money. Too bad, so long. read more

Stopped here while passing through to MI. We enjoyed the food, good down home cooking. Friendly service. Would definitely come back.

Great friendly service good breakfast - soups are average

Learned about this from "Road Ahead". Stopped just off the interstate - very convenient. Great diner atmosphere. Started with the fried green beans, which were great, and I don't usually eat fried food. I had the turkey ruben. Very good. Real sliced turkey, not processed stuff. Hubby had the liver & onions, just to bother me. He ate every bite. Great service, until it was time for our bill. Had to start heading out the door in order to pay. read more

Summit Diner.. is a gem. A family owned diner. It has great home cook meals and extremely reasonable prices. Our meal consisted of: home made meat loaf with real mash potatoes, dinner roll and a salad. I had a big salad. A bed of lettuce..which had tricolored pasta, chicken, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Drinks were hot tea and soda. The bill was $20.26 w/tax. Were can you get great home cooked meals at that price! The only thing we were disappointed in was that we could not try one of their various high-piled pies for $2.49 a slice. They looked scrumptious...and so did their cakes! read more

If you love diner food, you'll be extremely happy at the Summit Diner... breakfast, lunch, dinner, all very solid. Service is great... everyone hustles. Leave room for desert. Great value as well. My family stops here on our way to and from Seven Springs. read more

Awesome food. Taste like good old home cooking. Great staff. Reasonable prices. Definitely a must stop if passing through town.

First time I have ever been here, it looked really cool and retro from the outside. Inside is the same oldies theme, and very clean. Service was great and the prices are very reasonable. I had their pancakes, and they were obviously homemade. They were delicious, and melted in my mouth. I totally recommend stopping here if you haven't already. read more

Excellent "diner" food. Had breakfast at 3:00 pm. Great coffee, great eggs, great home fries, just great. And fast, very friendly service. On long trip home planning to go to Cracker Barrel which was too crowded. We are so glad they were, because we found this diner that will be a permanent stop on this trip from now on. Right off Somerset exit if PA turnpike. read more

We were in town for a wedding on Friday and drove by this spot on the way to the venue. All four of us decided that this was where we were going to get breakfast before we headed back to Pittsburgh the next day. It was pretty busy (obviously; Saturday mornings are very busy especially for a cool diner like this one) and there were two other parties waiting in front of us to be seated. I did not see one smile on any of the waitresses faces and received very unfriendly glances from everybody working there (I'm not exaggerating - EVERYBODY working looked absolutely miserable). I mean, it was clearly packed and busy but really? Nobody could at least smile or say hello? Nobody greeted us or let us know how long the wait was and the only time ANYONE said anything to us was to tell us to close the door because the air was on. After that was said, one of the parties in front of us left either because the wait was too long or they were catching the unfriendly vibes from everybody working there as well. Either way, this meant we were one step closer to getting the awesome breakfast we had been anticipating from the night before. We waited about 10-15 minutes and some space at the counter finally cleared out. Four seats - it was as if they knew we were coming. We waited for somebody to clear the empty plates and waited to see if the party in front of us wanted to take the counter. Neither of those two things happened, and still nobody has said a word to us so we decided to just sit down. At this point, a woman by the name of Judy slapped her pad onto the counter (as if upset that we seat ourselves) and told us it would be a minute before she could even get to us to clear the plates. Judy was clearly flustered and in a terrible mood - just like everybody else working there. After our cheerful greeting, I glanced over to my friend and told him I had a bad feeling about having breakfast here. Not even 5 minutes later, another waitress approaches Judy to tell her that one of her guests was getting upset over how long she was taking with their check. She rolls her eyes, let's out an angry sigh and walks over to the other end of the counter where her guests were. I couldn't make out the entire conversation, but the guest was upset over the waitress "taking an hour" to give them the check. And instead of apologizing, Judy keeps saying very loudly, "YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU KNOW WHAT?!" while pulling things out of her apron and slamming them onto the counter until finally finding the check they had been waiting for. I was shocked. I've worked in the restaurant industry for a few brief summers in college and if I learned anything from that experience (or even learned from working with the public in general), REGARDLESS if they are wrong, you NEVER treat your guests that way. After that, we decided to leave. We had already spent over a half hour waiting to sit down and waiting to be acknowledged, we weren't in the mood to be treated as if we were a burden like the other customers. I would like to say that I'm pretty fair when it comes to my Yelp reviews; I never give a poor rating unless it's truly deserved. And in my opinion, this place deserves my one star. We didn't even get to eat here! They made us feel SO unwelcome. I hope the next group of people who have to decide between the free hotel breakfast and the "cool looking" diner chooses accordingly because we missed out on eating breakfast all together after that. read more

This little Diner is very clean, friendly waiters and waitresses. The food is very good, and reasonably priced. I'd reccomend this diner to everyone who visits Someset. read more

I had posted a review in March and came back to read other reviews since getting back to Florida. My mistake, that I didn't complete the Yelp form by assigning the correct number of stars and my review didn't make the positive review list..... So sorry. Will be back later this year. My wife and I were passing through Somerset on the Turnpike on our way back to Florida. We got to the Summit Diner shortly after lunch and was surprised to see that there was still a good number of patrons still enjoying their meals. The person that greeted us was very friendly and pleasant. We were shown to our table and greeted by a older lady who was our waitress. Although she was busy, she took the time to ask where we were from and where we were headed and she did have a great sense of humor. The vegetable soup was the best we have had for some time. My wife had a turkey club sandwich and I had a Jakeanator hamburger with the jalapino's. The portions were more than ample and the meal came to us in a very shot time. I did make comment to the waitress that the turnaround time for the meal was astounding. We finished off the meal with some coconut cream pie that was simply delicious. We hope to be traveling back through this area later in the year and will make it a point to stop here again. We believe that if a business does a good job, they should be commended. And so we are.... read more

I am originally from Somerset PA and have grown up around this place under various managers. It has never been good, up to as recently as today when my mother convinced me to give it another shot after several years away. When I went in and asked for a booth, one of the servers rudely snapped, you're gonna have to wait. After they cleaned off the table and were seated, I ordered a shake but told her to bring it out whenever she had a chance (I waitressed for several years and know shakes are a huge time suck), to which she replied, yeah, that's gonna be a while, and stormed off. I ordered fries which were decent, but one in my party ordered the SOS and chocolate milk and after a bit was so sickened she actually threw up. Another also ordered the chocolate milk and became queasy so I'm wondering if it wasn't the milk that made them ill. There is nothing special about this place unless you want mediocre food served by surly waitresses who seem to think their patrons are huge inconveniences. I am still astonished at the complete lack of customer service. Some things never change, I guess! read more

I was just there today. Table D-5. Friday, July 26, 2013. It was a bad experience. As we walked into the restaurant, a waitress whisked at us and said, "Seat yourself." Nice. No touchy feely. No little town love. Worse than the town that I work in, Philadelphia. We sat down to the same fly's that we saw last year. Fly's!! Then we ordered. My wife specifically asked - make the eggs well down. Not runny. Guess what, runny as heck. Not well done. The waitress came to our table with 6 glasses in her hand. She proceeded to spill the orange juice on the table. Guess what? The waitress walked away from the table and did not clean up the mess. My wife did. Waitress just ignored us. Like we were bothering her. Terrible. Oh - good pancakes but imitation maple syrup. The waitress said so. Lastly, the cashier never once looked up at me while accepting the check. Head down. No eye contact. Bad place. I will never go again. read more
