Never disappointed at Wagner. Great fish dinner on Friday from 4-7, but hard to choose between some of the other specials like stuffed pork chops or stuffed peppers; my favorites. The waitresses are delightful and serve promptly. read more

Small town diner, yes please! A local friend recommended coming her for a end of a girls weekend breakfast. We grabbed a table and a server immediately greet us and took our drink order. Sundays they stick to a breakfast menu, all the normal homemade items are on here. I went with 2 eggs over easy, home fries, rye toast and a side of corned hash. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach. So much food! It was delicious. Friends got a stuffed French toast... looked interesting, sausage Garvey and this sweet breakfast roll... yum. read more

See all

Been a long time customer/lover of the Wagner! We used to come every Sunday morning in college, and though we haven't been back in awhile, they maintain their quality of the best diner ever. This diner is a hometown, full of love vibe. We were very glad to pop in this morning, be seated quickly, and receive efficient and friendly service. Our favorite thing to get is the Hungry-man Combo, which fills your every need and fuels you for the day. Something new I tried today was their hot chocolate! You can't skip this- it's homemade whipped cream and so chocolatey in the best way. Thanks for the best breakfast ever!! read more

Wagner Restaurant - Hot Chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Penn Yan, New York

Everyone was super friendly. I ordered sides of the full hash, with was so crispy and delicious, home fries and a scrambled egg. It was a very delicious breakfast. My fiance ordered an omelet with toast and enjoyed his meal. Everyone was so friendly there as well. This is a great place to stop to get a wonderful meal. They do not have gf items. read more

The Pen Yann Diner burned down a few months ago, so we ventured into the Wagner (right across the street from the Diner). Service was fun and professional; food was delicious! read more

I've been a customer for many years and the only time they disappointed was when they removed sweet potato pancakes from their menu. My only wish is that they would bring them back as a once and a while special menu item... great atmosphere, good portions, and the staff are all awesome. read more

Enjoyed an egg salad sandwich on whole wheat toast with crisp ruffled potato chips. My husband enjoyed his tuna salad sandwich with potato salad. The potato salad is sweet and sour and yummy; I will order that next time as my side. Friendly and very fast service; I couldn't believe how fast our order came out of the kitchen. Affordable prices. Convenient parking in the lot directly adjacent to the restaurant. Can't wait to return and try other menu items. read more

Had the Friday fish fry. Excellent! Large portions, cooked perfectly. Moist flakey fish, cooked to crisp perfection. Same for the fries. Homemade Mac n cheese, and coleslaw, all excellent. If you're looking for a fancy restaurant, this isn't it. If you're looking for good food, good prices, large portions, then this is it. read more

We always have breakfast here when we are in town. The food is always great and the service is efficient and quick. I ordered the sampler with 1 egg, toast, hashbrowns and 1 pancake/french toast. It was lots of food, as the pancake was the size of a dinner plate! Service was great as usual. read more

Good breakfast and service. Good local place. good breakfast basic selections really enjoyed it.

This place is special because I feel like it's become famous for it being here all these years and serving a wonderful breakfast. I can't appreciate it as much because I'm not from here, and I didn't grow up here and I can't share years worth of memories. It certainly has that sort of old diner type of feel. The inside is a bit dark and dated, and you have those coffee mugs that are always refilled, which is cool. It's a sweet place to visit. We enjoyed our breakfast, and then were on our way to explore the lovely Penn Yan. read more

Awesome food. Place was packed and they served us with a smile. Food was fresh and hot. Was thrilled to hear they had mimosa!! Honestly I don't know if it was fresh orange juice or a local Prosecco, but it was absolutely delicious. Owner was there bussing tables and was very nice read more

Nice service. I went for breakfast with my friends before leaving the area around 6am. The lady serving us was all smiles & personable. Our breakfast was delicious, our coffee was constantly topped off. Fresh, friendly, looks like the have alot of room to accommodate crowds, I have no doubt this is a local go-to hotspot read more

Great breakfast spot and friendly staff. They accommodate for some larger parties and the food came out quick and hot. Great that they have some options for gluten free breakfast food as well. read more

Best Breakfast in Area! Fish Fry is one of my favs. Amazing service and never a wait. Great prices as well

This is a hole the wall. It looks like the front of a bowling ally. But great comfort food. Wait staff are all friendly and hard working to make you feel welcomed. Prices are right $$$. Lots of parking for campers. Family orientated. Could use a good cleaning. Floors, especially mens bathroom. Let's just say they get you out the door and on your way. Plenty of seating when the diner across the street is full. read more

Hotel suggested this place for lunch. service was ok. Rubens were good, Chicken sandwich was also good but needed mayo or a dressing. Requested honey mustard, was charged extra. Note: Sharing charges apply if sharing lunch. Prices are reasonable. Didn't partake, but Salad Bar is available. Nice local restaurant. read more

Food is delicious!!!! Penn yan is such a beautiful area!!! Omelette was the BEST I have ever eaten!!!

What a great breakfast stop! Food was fantastic, and the service was great. Everything seemed fresh and was delivered in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend a breakfast visit here! read more

Good food. Fast service. We were I n and out in 45 minutes. Food came out less than 10 minutes. They have French vanilla creamer's for coffee. That's a plus for me. Lots of things to choose from the menu. Great prices. They also have a bar on the other side and TVs. read more

Wagner Restaurant - Breakfast: veggie omelette with sweet potato pancake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Penn Yan, New York

Stopped here for breakfast based on yelp reviews and friends suggestions. We sat ourselves and were asked if we needed menus? Well yes that would be great thanks. They brought out 2 waters when there were 4 of us, so not sure if we were expected to share but we asked for 2 more and were given them. Coffee was watered down and tasteless. I ordered the western omelet and I mean why not just give me the whole pepper. None of the vegetables were sautéed and huge and the eggs were watery. I ate the toast and nothing else. Same with my husbands omelette. Our server asked if we enjoyed everything and I just laughed inside, yeah it was so good I decided to not eat it. I didn't complain, paid my bill and still left 20% tip since it's not his fault. Anyways we unfortunately won't be back to this establishment. read more

We've visited here several times in the last 10 years esp to order Buckwheat pancakes. Today, we ordered them for breakfast and they were very bland, sticky tasteless cakes. Perhaps the flou is old I reported to our waitress but she commented that nothing has changed. Ok, so ? Perhaps we've changed instead thus we'll eat breakfast. Elsewhere! read more

We recently moved to this area and having breakfast out for us is a must. We've tried many places in the area and were very dissapointed in in the other restaurants quality and cooking ability. Once we found Wagner's we were very pleased. Staff is friendly and efficient. Food comes out hot and is always cooked just the way the customer wants it. Soft eggs aren't a problem for them. Burgers rare and their fries are delicious. We often order the hash with poached eggs on top. Eggs are perfectly poached. Someone there knows how to cook. We are now regular customers. Bravo to the owner and staff. read more

The Wagner serves good, inexpensive diner fare in a no-frills setting.

Oh aren't you adorable! Was here for breakfast last week and was pleasantly suprised. The interior is very dated yet clean and functional. The service is very fast and pleasant. I LOVE any place I can get breakfast that isnt traditional breakfast - i.e. a BLT. YUM!!! It came with home fries which was a fun addition. Perfectly cooked and delicious. My nephew got a chocolate chip pancake bigger than his head and was in love. All traditional breakfast foods all around the table (how can you really screw up breakfast anyways?) The prices were super reasonable and the coffee refills were constant. I will be back when I am in town little Wagner! :-D read more

Typical small town breakfast place, quick service, great fresh eggs, grits, toast, etc. I was being good and had the oatmeal and fruit plate and to my surprise the oatmeal didn't really taste like instant oatmeal, possibly because of the brown sugar added :). The prices were cheap also so guaranteed not to bust your wallet for some pancakes, etc. I always have a love for little breakfast dives like this one. In my experience with little towns, places like this always provide a great hearty breakfast and do so with that small town politeness that you just can't find anywhere else. Wagner Motor Inn (strange name for a restaurant I know) is no exception! I'll be back for sure. read more

Wagner's on Sunday with no line. Woohooo. Super great food all the time. Friendly service.

We enjoyed a very satisfying breakfast here. Everyone was welcoming, and the service was great. Loved the home fries, crispy bacon, and grilled cinnamon rounds. Be sure to try the biscuits and gravy! read more

Don't expect anything stellar. Order the basics...don't get too adventurous with the eggs Benedict or the steak and eggs. Order things that can't be messed up...fried eggs. Toast. And bring wipes. The tables are sticky. read more

This is a come in and sit yourself down kinda place. Honestly, there is nothing to brag about here. The food is not great at all. The coffee is not good, kinda on the "weak" side. Have ordered the belgian waffles with strawberries. The strawberries are not fresh but some kind of store bought preserves. The fries have an old oil after-taste. Its decor is outdated. The rug is yucky; the buffet food is like cafeteria food. There is a guy that comes out from the kitchen into the dining area with an apron and t-shirt that are simply disgustingly stained, grimy and filthy. Makes you kinda lose your appetite. The prices are "cheap", though, I'll give them that. But cheap prices, cheap food. Definitely do not go here anymore, and I'm a local. read more

The place Most of the reviews are pre flood so the place has been redone and is MUCH cleaner than before. This place was packed Sunday and we called ahead for reservations due to having a party of 12. They were super nice and had the table ready when we arrived. The waitress was very kind and attentive always there with refills for our coffee and even had flavored creamers! The Food I ordered an omelette which was really good my only complaint was the bacon was not cut up in the omelette something Ive never seen. No big deal just alittle different. It was solid nothing special. I also tried some of my wife's french toast which was pretty good. Normally for this I would give 3 stars but the prices were great one of the best values I have been to. Basically if you are in the area this is a great place for breakfast!!! read more

Great place to get breakfast in Penn Yan. Guests always request to come back here once they've been once. Sweet potato pancakes are particularly good, as are the home fries! They also have seasonal pumpkin pancakes which are delicious. Your food tends to come out super quickly, and everything is quite inexpensive, especially considering how delicious it is. You'll be full for a lot of the day after the Wagner. I've only been here once for lunch, but that was good too. read more

We had breakfast here this morning. Casual atmosphere, very friendly efficient service. I had the country boy omelette it was as delicious as it was gigantic! Served with toast I had cinnamon raisin for under 6.75 I think. An easy relaxing delicious filling inexpensive breakfast. read more

We stop in here for breakfast whenever we can, tons of seating, solid food, great value and big portions, I never leave hungry. The wait staff is really good, and food had always come out fast. Dinners and lunches are decent too, nothing fancy just good, the salad bar is a nice option too. read more

Good food. Big portions. Friendly. Not expensive. French Vanilla creamer. Why not?

I was told that I must come to this establishment for the amazing food and great service and sadly did not get either. Food was subpar. salad bar was ok to say the least. Service seem to be annoyed by my presence alone not to mention having to take my order and bring food to the table. read more

The waitress at Penn Yan Diner recommended we go here after realizing that our group of 8 wouldn't fit, and we are very glad she did. We got a big round table and were served quickly. The portions are huge and super affordable. The service was fast and friendly, and everyone was happy with what they ordered. I ordered the Hungry Man breakfast that had pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast for $6.95. The corned beef hash was delicious! All in all a great cheap option in the area. read more

Excellent Finger Lakes breakfast joint place for a late Sunday morning. Fast service, great omelets, buckwheat pancakes and endless coffee.
