This place has an extensive menu of all the classic diner/family restaurant fare you can imagine. They have sandwiches, steaks, gyros, wraps, burgers, and that's just lunch. I've been here twice so far in the last week and has the Gyro wrap (very tasty) and the deluxe cheesesteak (needed salt). It's a diner, so definitely don't forget the pie. They have a great Dutch Apple. You won't break the bank for a fine meal here. Definitely worth a visit! read more

My wife and I were here recently for dinner. My soup was lukewarm while my wife's soup was piping hot. Salmon croquettes- nothing special. I got an omelette and hash browns- I liked it. My wife's cheesesteak omelette had no detectable cheese or flavor, for that matter. Hash browns not cooked as long as mine, so they didn't look as appealing IMO. Server not friendly- mercurial, even. We're gonna hit pause. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. I go here very often with my friend who enjoys their breakfast as well. There a simple diner that has been around for decades. The staff is also very experienced, and they are welcoming and courteous and also take your order seriously. Breakfast can be a delicate dish to make. So I am also a delicate practitioner of eating breakfast. So when I order, I want my order to be correct. They do their best to make sure that my order is correct every time, the first time. However, sometimes it's not always correct. And I need to send it back. So I give this place for stars because of that. read more

Happy 4th! Walked in 20 minutes before their advertised close time and was turned away because they decided to pack it in early. Looked like it was probably decent but will never know. How long does it take to serve two people fried eggs and toast? read more

Ordered the eggs Benedict and it was great! Hash Browns were nice and crispy. Our server was friendly and attentive. The place was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but we did not have to wait. Prices are really fair and on point with Diner food. I would return again if I am in the area! read more

Trivet - Emmaus - eggs benedict and hash browns - Diners Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

I will be dining anywhere but the Trivet Diner from now on. We were there for breakfast today, I ordered a breakfast wrap with hashbrowns crispy. The wife ordered pancakes with bacon. The bacon never came, the hashbrowns were raw potato's with grease all over them. I told the waitress I did not get what I ordered, she said "Well the kitchen staff is overwhelmed". then walked away. We called over the Owner/Manager, and when we told him, his answer was not anything you would expect. HE SAID: "Well what do you want me to do, if I talk to the waitress or the cook they will quit. SERIOUSLY? So the CUSTOMERS, the ones PAYING THE CASH should shut up and take what they get, because he can't run or manage his Restaurant and Staff? I have a better solution, We will eat elsewhere, and tell the world how terrible people are treated. Pay attention folks. WALK OUT. The ONLY PEOPLE They should care about are the CUSTOMERS, the people PAYING TO EAT THERE. #BusinessGoingDown. read more

I had always wanted to try this place because me and my partner love diner food. I ordered the breaded shrimp and he ordered the lasagna. Disappointment. My salad was an upside down quarter of a head of lettuce. The onions in the salad were cut in quarters the long way. I was given a packet of salad dressing. I had mashed potatoes with my meal. There were water and tasted like potato flakes. The gravy tasted like potato flakes. I wanted to go in the kitchen and teach the cook how to cook. My partner's food was just bland. Never again. read more

I was here today . I ordered French Toast thick with soft bacon , a different server brought my plate and it was thin French Toast with soft bacon . I know it's not a big deal but it's everytime I go in there . I go only once and a while . But each time something is not wright . No more I'm done . I'll try EastPenn Diner read more

I wish I didnt have to choose one star. Not deserved at all. Walked in with high hopes. Blonde woman with a ponytail behind the "bar" continued a whole conversation with a patron while we waited to be seated. She rolled her eyes with no rhyme or reason and we immediately felt awkward. We literally watched her see us...then proceed to keep talking. It wasn't until her (clearly much needed) conversation was done that she came over our way, walked passed us and went to go and take a payment from someone who was leaving, who got up AFTER we came in. That person had to literally tell her to help us before helping him so we could be seated. We got seated then decided to leave and go to a place where we can be treated like humans. This was last weekend, Sunday October 2oth. Shame on that woman. read more

Been here 4 times for breakfast. Service is wonderful. The meals are fresh and hearty. Home fries are crisp and u can add fried onions for about 30 cents. The coffee is great and they always keep u full. Don't pass it up due to low stars on the overall rating. I can only speak for the breakfast, and it's terrific. I think I've always been the youngest person in here at 8:00, and I'm 40. Mushroom and cheese omelette was great. Scrapple great. Creamer chipped beef (SOS) great. Traditional corned beef has and eggs great, but weekends only. For my dollar it's great. read more

First time trying this place and while the atmosphere and food met expectations, the server did not and was extremely rude. We were unable to really stop and take notice of the specials board as we walked in--we have two kids and I was more concerned about getting them to our table. When Heather came to take our drink orders, I asked her if she could run over the specials for us. Shockingly, she replied with a firm "no". She said the items listed on the board we're on the regular menu anyway and then walked away. My husband and I looked at each other in complete amazement. Never in my life have I received such a rude response to a simple question. I got up from the table and snapped a picture of the specials so that my husband and I could take a look without being in the way of the busy hallway. Were the items listed on the menu? Nope. Heather, it's your job to answer questions about the food. Get another job if you don't like the one you have. We will never be back. read more

Most times food is priced well for what you get and well made. sometimes a bit crowded and small wait times. coupons not always properly applied on observances NOT holidays read more

Solid B+!!!! Very good diner fare. Beautiful diner asthetic. Fast, friendly, efficient service. Reasonable prices. Would definitely come back again. read more

The atmosphere is pretty good. The food is similar to the diner across the street, except cold, slow and more expensive. We waited a little less than an hour for the food. Jackies breakfast was screaming hot, while mine was cold and dry. The taste wasn't bad...but the portions were small. The service wasn't rude...just not friendly at all. Even using PA standards, the restaurant was eh to ugh read more

Went for breakfast there today and while tbe service was good i ordered eggs benedict and it was the worst I ever had anywhere. The muffin was not toasted...the canadian bacon was stingy if it was even canadian bacon and there was hardly any hollandaise sauce on it. I am pretty sure it got me sick as i did not feel good not soon after i ate it. I will not go back there again. read more

Three stars because the food was average. Nothing worth noting. However, it was a clean restaurant with friendly and quick service.

This is one of my favorite diners in the Lehigh Valley and trust me we have a lot. It has all the typical diner fair in addition to Pennsylvania Dutch food such as Scrapple. The food is good, cheap, and the portions are huge. Breakfast is the highlight of the place and the home fries are amazing. The service is average and the food comes out quick. They have homemade pies which are also quite good and always have a lot of specials. Overall A Good Diner which also is one of the few to serve Pennsylvania Dutch food read more

Nice people, but quality of hot turkey sandwich has seriously declined. Used to be nice thick slices. Now it's a few little paper thin slices of tasteless deli meat. Blech. I wonder if the Tilghman Street location cheaped out with this classic, too. read more

My family loves it here! I think we have met the owner, of so he is so nice! They treated us like family even though we aren't regulars and they wouldn't know us. So nice to my kids as well. Delicious food. Thanks so much! read more

Because they made us sit next to other people and their weren't 6ft a part and a lady was took to long to get our drinks

I can tell you that my husband and I used to come in here almost every day however, got tired of the hostess Reagan. She is totally unprofessional and walks around talking crap to the customers. She also treats the waitresses with no respect, is she their boss? Says things in front of customers that should be said in private. Now we are lucky we come in once a week. When people go out for breakfast they shouldn't have to hear so much drama. Also prices are out of control, we can go to the palace for more food and way less money. read more

Try and find a better place in the area. If nothing else is convenient, then it will be ok. The different dishes that we ordered: salads, club sandwich, cheesesteak, we're at best just average. The service was also just ok. Never asked if we needed anything or refills. read more

Awesome Food My Husband Noticed His Cousins Picture hanging on the Wall (Beverly) Will Be Back

This place doesn't include home fries with their breakfast entrees. That's why I don't go here. Get with the program and either up the prices to include the home fries or stop having them as a la carte read more

Awful service. I was not brought my tea. I was given attitude. I was brought my check immediately before I had a chance to order addition items. I purchased the additional meals down the road at another diner. This was not the cute shitty diner service. This was just bad service. The food was the low standard of diners. The trivet in Allentown was great. I don't know why they let this place go to hell. The interior is dark and run down and needs upgrades all over. I don't know how this place stays in service. Avoid. There is a great diner down the road. read more

We've enjoyed breakfast here twice in the recent past. Their menu offers a lot of variety and creative options, whether sweet or savory. The food is delicious, portions are ample, service is speedy and courteous. It's a diner; come in knowing that the decor isn't the most trendy. That's not why people eat at diners! read more

We pass the Trivet every day and finally decided to take our children there for dinner this evening. We won't do that again. Despite the restaurant being only 1/4 full, service was exceptionally slow. The meat on my taco salad was so heavily salted it was tough to get down. Lastly, the restaurant was freezing. A number of older customers were trying to bundle up with cardigans and our kids asked to go home. There is no reason a sit down restaurant needs to be kept at meat-locker temperature. read more

My favorite diner in the Emmaus/Macungie area. I've probably eaten there a dozen times and never had anything bad. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. Breakfast is always hot and fresh. Never so busy at dinner that your meal will take forever. Don't forget a slice of pie. I was surprised that they took credit cards. read more

Not that good. My cheesesteak had very little cheese and steak on the roll. The picture on the menu is deceiving. My buddy got the wrong order. Didn't hate it but prob won't come back with better diners in the area in driving distance read more

First time here. Wait staff were genuinely interested in their customers, knowing many on a first name basis. Food was above average for a diner. read more

Nice, quality diner food. The ambiance was very classic diner without being over-the-top cheesy or rundown. The food was good and the service wasn't bad, even though we went in at one of the busiest times of the week -- Saturday morning. We'll definitely be coming back again. read more

This place rocks for breakfast. They always accommodate our large groups. The scrapple smashed is a great touch on this classic breakfast side. The service is phenomenal, very hospitable, quick, on the ball and always there to refill your coffee. One of the few places that can actually cook an over medium egg (tougher than it looks). Hats off, this is my breakfast staple whenever I come back to visit. read more

Unfortunately I'm changing my opinion. Yes they have great prices and great breakfast but they now slap a almost raw patty that is from a frozen box on a bun and call it a burger. I gave this place a great review before because their prices are great compared to the other trivet but now are downsizing quality also. Very dissapointed :-( trivet on tilghman has delicious real burgers and I'd rather pay the extra three bucks for it . read more

This is now on our list of places to not go back too. Our waitress was wonderful, the food, not so much. We did go on a holiday so maybe the regular cook was off. Veal parm & spaghetti was barely eatable. Cheap tasting Veal, and spaghetti sauce was way too sweet. The salads were nice. Don't even bother with the chicken croquettes, it was the worst one I ever had! The restaurant had mold on the ceiling, both in the dining room and the bathroom, overall the place didn't look clean. I wonder are all Trivits like that or did we just pick the worst one? read more

My family and I have been eating here for many years. Most of those years because of no competition. Now the game has changed and there's another diner in town with better food and service. Breakfast and lunch is their specialty although it's basic no frills diner food. They've recently attempted to do a quick makeover at the Trivet but they should of saved the money. What they need is new cooks and waitresses in this place. Each waitress thinks they own the place and customers come 2nd! Loyalty is one thing but competition, better food and service is another. It's time to clean house and bring in new and improved help. Younger help that actually says good morning and how can I help you! read more

Clean, looks nice. Server was friendly. Standard diner, all that you need. Worthy of a trip

While yes I was expecting diner food, they could use better quality meat products. Felt as though my burger was made from the scraps that fell off after they make the good hamburgers. It's just a cheap frozen patty like others have said. Also missing a side and the waitress didn't notice. The kids menu is a joke. Since I didn't want soda or milk for my toddler they offered no substitute (water) and wasn't offered the pudding or jello that supposedly comes with it. Won't be back. read more

I enjoyed a very nice meal at the Trivet. I had the seafood au gratin [no side necessary as pasta was in the casserole] with a nice salad and an included desert. The serve staff is well trained and very courteous. The atmosphere is appealing. All this for a bit less than $ 10.00 read more

My fiancee and I had dinner there tonight. Food was pretty good. I had the open prime rib sandwich, he had the chicken pot pie. Waitress was nice but not the most attentive. Forgot straws, brought wrong salad dressing. She asked me if I wanted dessert but started walking away before asking my fiancee. The italian wedding soup was salty and had no meatballs in it. May try again. read more
