At first, we had a waitress who ignored us. For a long time. Then our actual waitress came and took care of us. The food was good. The diner-y decorations are very well done. If we hadn't been left to cool our heels for 15 minutes, I would have rated higher. read more

We recently moved into the Oakdale area and were looking for a diner to have breakfast at on the weekend. The Diner is right down the hill from us and it is everything we were looking for! The staff was so nice and friendly to us and were so quick with everything. The Diner has the old school diner vibe, which I loved. The food was delicious for breakfast and the price was super reasonable. We are so excited to come back for lunch or dinner to try out the rest of the menu! read more

Had not been here for quite a while but decided to give it a try since I heard they are new owners. Was pleasantly surprised to see Leslie back again! We had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes-delicious as ever! We started with the cauliflower appetizer and WOW so good and you get plenty with a nice amount of ranch to dip. They were DELICIOUS! Our daughter and her fiancé had the steak salads and they were BIG and DELICIOUS as well! The owner was very friendly and this was a great experience once again. We always loved this place and we go way back many years. It's like going home! Best wishes for a prosperous business-you're on the right track!!! We'll be back again and again! read more

Surprised how delicious the prime rib was, with a tasty beefy jus for dipping. We asked and they had fresh grated horseradish. With scratch made mashed potatoes and gravy and we ordered green beans side. Perfect to split with my guy, so we had enough room to start with the creamy potato soup and finish with a hot tart and sweet cherry pie slice with cold ice cream on top. Great service, comfy booths, each seat by a window. read more

I got the spinach salad, the Sicilian pizza and the chicken parm. The spinach salad was delicious. The chicken was really flavorful...I could've eaten it on its own...and they put gorgeous thick cut bacon on it and an entire boiled egg. If you don't like onions maybe ask them to hold them. The pizza was pretty damn good. The crispy bottom and fluffy dough was excellent. It could've used more sauce but that's just my preference. I like it saucy. I'm saving the chicken parm for tomorrow. They use quality ingredients, which is a plus but I'll go back because they were so nice!! I ordered through Grub Hub and the restaurant called me as soon as they got their order because they were out of something and suggested an alternative. He was so sweet and when we were hanging up, he said we appreciate you!! Well, I appreciate him. I will go back again. read more

After biking along the Panhandle Trail, this is the perfect place to stop for breakfast. My boyfriend and I have been here twice now and thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts. He got the Italian scramble both times with a side of marinara sauce. The first time I got the breakfast sandwich and the second time I got the veggie omelet + add bacon. The omelet was better than the sandwich so I would go for that if you are deciding between the two. I look forward to continuing trying new things there. The servers work hard and the place is usually busy but we haven't had to wait in line yet to be seated. The desserts and ice cream flavors are also enticing but I have yet to try. Give this place a chance if you want to experience what I call a genuine and authentic diner. read more

this relatively true diner is an informal and inexpensive place and has a combination of booths and a long sit down counter with basic good ambiance. The wait staff is friendly and welcoming with good service. The homemade sauce pizza(pepperoni, green pepper&mushroom) is fantastic! The fried fish looked huge and appetizing, although the burger was a lot smaller than advertised and the salads are made of iceberg lettuce. Most dishes are homemade, but others are not. I do want to return to try the other selections on the menu. read more

A recent delivery order: Delivery time was very good. I had 2 over easy eggs that were cooked perfectly as was the bacon. The home fries could improve with some onions and peppers, but were good. The sausage gravy and biscuits need improved. The biscuits were in the same packaging as the gravy which resulted in soggy biscuits.

Just your typical diner in a small town. They have very quick service which I love but the quality of food wasn't anything special. They do have a pretty big menu and I do like how they serve breakfast pretty late in the day. The portions are big too. Almost everyone in the restaurant was taking home a to-go box. It's definitely a good place to go if you're looking for greasy food for cheap but I wouldn't suggest coming here for a nice date or anything. read more

A classic diner experience. Wanted to try a different spot today. Had the meat lovers omelette and it was packed with ham, bacon, and sausage. It was delicious!! Couldn't finish it all. They serve Mancini's bread which is a plus. They also have great looking pies and donuts in their case. Our waitress was a little rough but in a diner type of way; she made me chuckle. She had no problem giving the cook a hard time when something was missing. Lol. The owner came around to each booth to see how everything was. Thought that was nice. They have an open kitchen too. We will be back. read more

My family went to the Oakdale diner this past Friday and I was very disappointed. They were out of lettuce for side salads (they were "saving" lettuce for the "big" salads) steak for salads and sandwiches, and tartar sauce for the fish sandwich. They food we did order was definitely not was it used to be. The worst part of the meal was by far the dessert. The cherry pie had MOLD on the inside!! We discovered the MOLD after my daughter took a bite. . The manager took the pie off of our bill, but demanded that we pay the rest. Will NEVER go back. read more

We just visited the Oakdale Diner. I guess considering it had the word "diner" in its title I had higher expectations for our visit, especially considering it was for breakfast. I had the big breakfast with four sausage links, three eggs, frozen potatoes, and toast. My wife had french toast and bacon. The kids had Mickey chocolate chip pancakes. Overall I would compare the food to slightly above Kings Restaurant. In the breakfast hierarchy, Eat N Park is the worst, then Denny's, Kings, and then you venture to Bob Evans, with Cracker Barrel leading the chains. It wasn't a bad breakfast, I was just expecting more, because of the diner in the title. I wanted homemade potatoes, not frozen. In addition, I felt the meals were 1.00 or so a bit overpriced. Service was fantastic! I would eat here again, but need to hit Pamela's first! read more

Lots of Pittsburgh sports Pro and amateur) pictures are posted on the walls that provide that hometown feel. Service - the minute you enter the restaurant you are made to feel welcome and appreciated. The owners roam the room looking to help the servers with anything needed. Food - I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with fried potatoes and an English Muffin. The food was served hot and the English Muffin was toasted exactly as requested (which seldom happens). The omelet was large and tasted very good. Overall - if only I lived in the area, as I would be a regular customer. The restaurant tics all of the boxes for what you would want in a restaurant.

The food was fresh, made to order and the prices were what you might have found 10-15 years ago. The place is popular. It can be crowded so you may have to wait short minute. Locals say it's this way most of the time. Don't let that put you off. It has that hometown Pittsburgh feel with friendly, quick service. The coffee fresh, hot and never ending. I had the basic 2 eggs over easy, crispy bacon, home fries and thick Italian bread. Everything with the exception of the potatoes were perfect.

I ordered the avocado toast and it arrived quickly and looked awful. It tasted as awful as it looked. The avocados were old and bitter. I order this everywhere and there's usually some onions or tomatoes and lime juice mixed in. This was just old avocados. The server came by to check and I told her it was bad and to take it away. She never asked if I wanted something else or to try the toast again. The manager came by a little later asking if all was ok. Told him about the avocado and he was extremely interested in helping but I just didn't feel like eating anymore. They did take the toast off our check.

Recently moved into Oakdale and thought we'd try the Diner. We checked the online menu which had a nice variety of items. They offered daily specials and this being Saturday the special was Prime Rib priced at $17.99 for the Queen Cut and $19.99 for the King Cut. We both ordered the Kings with onion rings and salad. The salads were OK, then came the entrees. The onion rings were burnt, almost black and as for prime ribs the king must be midgets! OK, live and learn we shouldn't order fine dining at a diner. Then came the check WOW !!!!!!! The dinners were $25.99 each not 19.99. The chalkboard listed the specials without prices so we assumed the online prices were correct. The waitress said "Sorry for the mix-up but it's $25.99" Needless to say we won't be back and certainly will not recommend to any of our friends. read more

Where to start I called a bit after 8 placed a fairly simple order small fries provolone sticks and 2 two liters of Pepsi was told no problem and was told it would be there in half an hour. I start to watch kitchen nightmares like 2 episodes later my food still isn't there I get confused and give them a call well no one picked up because they actually closed for the night. Luckily I was going to pay cash so I didn't get charged but needless to say I will be taking my business elsewhere which, is sad because they are normally a solid staple of Oakdale food. read more

The staff was so friendly, we were welcomed and treated like family! The prices were more than reasonable considering what the chain restaurants are offering.

I came on a Sunday around 12:30, I'm assuming after most of the church crowd left because it wasn't very busy (less than 15 customers). The lady behind the bar said I could seat myself, so I chose an empty booth. It took awhile for someone to come over and get my drink order, and customers who came in after me got theirs before I got mine. HERE'S THE THING...I only saw two women working the whole place and I didn't flag anyone down or get huffy about it...I waited and they eventually got to me. It's not like I waited 20 minutes, plus I have patience - I am an adult. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with fries, coleslaw and pickles, plus iced tea. The food came out quickly and was really good. The entire menu seemed like typical diner fare. I'm sure it's all good. The fries were fantastic! They were extra crispy, almost like they were breaded. They really hit the spot! All of this was a little over $16. Worth it in my opinion. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture until I was halfway done. My bad.

We've become addicted to their Spaghetti sauce and their garlic bread, haha. There is something about it that is just addicting.

The Chicken Parm was okay, and I would get it again. Not the absolute best I have had, but that sauce sure makes up for that, haha. The soups, as always, are great.
