50's Diner Reviews

The 50s Diner in Moosic, PA, initially promises a nostalgic trip back in time with its decor and ambiance, perfectly capturing the essence of the 1950s. Unfortunately, that's where the charm ends. Upon arriving around 2 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon, the lack of other patrons should have been a red flag. Despite the emptiness, the wait staff was inattentive and borderline rude. Instead of serving customers, they were preoccupied with playing the gambling machines. This distraction meant that we were left waiting far too long for any service. The food, sadly, did not make up for the poor service. The burgers and chicken fingers were overcooked and bland, leaving much to be desired. The waitress delivered our food but never checked back for refills or to see if we needed anything else. Overall, it was a highly disappointing experience. There is no excuse for the poor service, especially with no other customers in the restaurant. Whoever owns this diner should consider hiring a new chef who can cook and wait staff who actually want to serve customers rather than spend their time gambling. In hindsight, we wish we had chosen to eat at Terry’s Diner instead. Though their ambiance might not be as charming, the food and service surely couldn’t have been worse.

Good food and great service at reasonable prices

Went in for breakfast, an hour later still didn’t have our food. We saw a table of 8 just getting their food, one person at a time, rather than the full table. We ended up leaving as we couldn’t wait any longer. We had appointments to get to. Eggs and coffee shouldn’t take that long. We left money on the table for the coffee.
