    Inside front area of diner
    Indiasky B.

    We passed by this dinner on our way to pick up pastries. On our way back we stopped in. This location is easy to see and get to. They have plenty of parking. The decore is old medievalish look. We were motioned to sit in a back booth. Soon after came the waitress with menus and water. Then another waitress who wasn't personable came by to see what we would drink. She quickly brought our beverages and wanted our order but we weren't ready so she scurried off. We finally ordered eggs Benedict with turkey bacon substituted for Canadian bacon, home fries. My companion ordered western scramble and asked for cheddar cheese mixed in, side order of sausage and bacon. He said the coffee was weak. He also didn't get the scramble with cheese mixed in it was only broiled on top. The eggs were too dried out. My Benedict was cooked perfect!!!!! The hollandaise sauce was good but I like it a bit more lemony. Turkey bacon was beautifully crisp. I loved the seasoned home fries! I had some of my companion's toast but either the butter is margarine or the butter was not good quality because it wasn't melted on the toast. It just hung onto the toast instead of melting into it. As our waitress approached our table to drop off the bill she made a comment on her favorite food. It was surprising since she was so short before. We think she was trying to be nice for a good tip. Too little too late! NOT!!! We still tipped over 22% lol Reasonably priced. Good local place try it and add your review!

    Build your own omelette

    Not sure why this diner has only three stars! We stopped by after a stay in Tamaqua after the fall foliage festival in Jim Thorpe for Sunday breakfast. The diner is a classic with the old timey look and feel; it's been around forever. The food was very good -- I got the build your own omelette with hash browns and wheat toast. We also shared pumpkin pancakes for the table, which came out to be a huge stack of three, that was very good! One star off just because it took a while for the food to come out, but our sever was nice and took the time to answer any questions.

    Amazing French Toast (3 Golden Slices)

    Talk about an amazing, quintessential American diner focused on great food and welcoming service. Sunday breakfast was superb. The kids were happy and the parents were satisfied. Be certain to order the French Toast

Mountainhome Diner has been around for years and is your typical diner with all-day breakfast available. It's clean and the staff were exactly what you want in a diner with friendliness and hospitality. I went with a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant with some well done potatoes. My friend had the scrapple with some scrambled eggs. I also had an orange juice. The orange juice I did not care for. Definitely not fresh squeezed. But the sandwich was excellent along with the potatoes. My friend also loved his coffee and scrapple with egg. My meal came to $11 not including tip. We'd come back!

    Mountainhome Diner is a classic American diner restaurant that opened in Cresco, Pennsylvania in…read more1956. Over the decades, it has been operated by a number of different owners. The current owners since 2017 are husband and wife restaurateurs Ali and Etab Abullattif. The enormous menu features classic staples such as omelets, pancakes, eggs benedict, french toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast wraps, salads, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, seafood entrees, steakhouse entrees, and various Italian specialties too numerous to mention. My family and I visited Mountainhome Diner for lunch on a recent trip to the Poconos. It was actually are last morning on our trip and we were looking for a place to grab lunch before making the drive back to Connecticut. We had driven past the diner several times on previous visits to the area, but had never visited before. We decided to give them a try. It seemed like a classic American diner that you could find just about anywhere. There's no website, no social media accounts, just good old-fashioned diner staples. The staff were friendly and accommodating and they seated us at a booth. A go-to dish that my wife and I both like to get at classic diners is a Greek salad, and Mountainhome Diner's "Big Fat Greek Salad" (chopped iceberg lettuce, crumbled feta, olives, tomato, onions, peppers, grape leaves, house Greek vinegar) sounded like it was just what we were looking for. I ordered mine with gyro while my wife ordered hers with chicken. Those salads really hit the spot! For our sons, we looked to the Kids Menu. Our older son had the "Hot Dog with French fries" while our younger son had the "Chicken Fingers with French fries". They were both very happy with their dishes. We had a nice time at Mountainhome Diner and we're happy that we finally stopped in. We recommend them to anyone visiting the area!

I am a HUGE breakfast/brunch guy and so whenever I get the chance I hit a new grubbery. Well, this morning we hit WPD - a little diner on Penn Drive. It was my mom, my nephew and myself. There's plenty of parking. The place is clean. The prices are very reasonable. The service was very good!! The server was quick and polite and funny and didn't seem like she hated her job as you often see in many restaurant. The menu is simple - which ain't a bad thing. I will give a positive critique - the omelette's should be cooked a little softer. Mine was well done which isn't the best way to serve an omelette unless asked by the customer. I ordered the... All Meat Omelette and added provolone cheese. I The Pumpkin Pancakes - WOW!!! Yummy. The coffee is without a doubt THE BEST COFFEE I've had in any restaurant in a long time. And I want to add I am a huge coffee drinker as are my mother and my nephew. The ambience is very apropos. Everyone was nice and friendly. I think the cooks came out of the kitchen a few times. It would've been nice had they introduced themselves. We ordered hot links, bacon, hash browns, toast, and of course eggs - scrambled and over easy. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. This is a no frills kinda place so if you're looking for that in your "wow" - this ain't the place. But, if you're looking for a decent meal at a decent price with friendly service and a clean environment...THIS IS THE PLACE! Happy grubbing!

I was impressed with the cleanliness as I watched them flip and adjust the limited tables for various sizes of parties while remaining engaged with customers. I had the chicken & waffles with maple/habanero sauce and loved it. Highly recommend, I asked for extra sauce as it was delicious & a great compliment to the crisp yet tender chicken and the fresh sweet Belgian waffles. Hubs got the cinnamon toast which comes with a sweetened granola side. Both are delicious and neither need anything added. We enjoyed sides of potatoes as well as bacon. Hubs drank the pink lemonade and I get the s'mores hot chocolate. This was breakfast before beginning the drive home to Virginia, neither of us needed any food along the way. Of course you must be sure the appreciate the cute piggy decorations and art work both inside and outside the restaurant. It was cool to see the local artist at work updating images on the windows. They have a gift shop and we now have a cool T-shirt to help us remember our great experience. We are already contemplating our next visit to the Pocono area.
