Where. To. Begin.
Call me a jerk, but I don't get the hype. On very few occasions have I been led astray by Yelpers, but this was one of them. This was the kind of place that looked clean, but felt dirty.
We landed here after being at Ashcombe's and well there are very limited options for dining in the area and we were starving. After reading all the positive Yelp reviews we actually left the bar area at TJ Rockwells to come here. Big mistake.
I guess I was expecting was "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." You know...awesome food even if it isn't prettiest place. What I got was 80s TV dinner.
After stewing over the menu of comfort food dinners, we both opted for the turkey dinner with "homemade" mashed potatoes, filling/stuffing and a veggie. This is not something I would eat on any other day of the year than Thanksgiving, but it felt right given the setting and choices.
The meal came out. I tried to remain positive despite becomingly increasingly unsettled by my choice of place and meal. The gravy was practically fluorescent yellow and there was a pool of it on top of the relatively dry turkey. The popular "homemade" mashed potatoes tasted like they were "homemade" from a box. And the stuffing!! It was literally torn up pieces of white bread (that I'm certain were never baked) with a few shakes a dried parsley doused with the glowing gravy. Green beans...they were from a can. As we choked down our food we saw another couple come in and look around warily before they scurried out the door.
Sure the service was fast. The waitress was nice-ish. That's about all I can say.
I'm really perplexed by all the positive reviews. I would not go back.
Pleasantly surprised with this little diner. I personally only dine at diners when no other options are available, but the atmosphere here was such a throwback! I don't think it's been updated since the 50s.
Normal diner breakfast items and such, big portions and cheap prices. If you like a good diner, check out Wolfes!
Love this diner, and hope it continues to thrive as the world around it grows up. Great feel and food, a throwback to an era of simple food and friendship. This was a regular stop on my travels to and from college, and I do my best to visit every time I pass through the area. I only wish they were open on Sundays because most of my trips north these days have a return on Sunday, and I'd like to be able to look forward to dinner at Wolf's before the final run to DC. Keep it up!
Review Source:We may a pit stop at this retro diner on the way to visit my brother. Chicken and Waffles Dinner w/ 2 sides and a dinner role for under $8.00. The kids split a Burger Royal w/ fries and we also had a small ham & bean soup.
Chicken was moist and tender. Waffles and gravy just right. Peas were army green, but kind of expected it with the whole diner throw-back thing going on.
Service was attentive. Desserts looked good, but we didn't get any as we were in a hurry to get back on the road.
Loved the sign that says "$5.00 charge for Whining"
Jukeboxes provide atmosphere, but they are "out of order".
The total bill came to $13.65 before tip.
Rachel Ray would be proud...!
If you like diners and homemade food at diners, try this place. Â This is my go-to place for Turkey Clubs. Â The turkey they used is carved turkey (the same stuff they use for the turkey dinner) and it's all fresh. Â
My husband loves the pancakes (I hate pancakes). Â Fluffy and huge. Â I'm a fan of the breakfast special. They cook eggs properly. Â The service is good. Â The Saints R. review seems completely off to me. Â I find the service pleasant, helpful, and kind. Â I haven't seen anything I'd consider unsanitary. Â This place really is clean!!!
This place is great! Â Fast, friendly, authentic diner service. Â The food was good, the price was right, and there are some superb food options here. Â Ask what's home made (most of it) and what they recommend. Â The prices for all of the lunch specials just can't be beat.
I got a staple menu item which was the Wolf Burger....1/4 lb. cheese burger with onion rings for $3.50. Â That's a good deal. Â Next time I'll add bacon to it, though.
Also had some of their home made soup (chicken and rice) which was very good. Â Can't beat a bowl of home made soup from a diner and as I already said, the service was extremely fast.
Keep patronizing these places or we'll continue to get overrun by fast food chains. Â Wolfes Diner is a classic! Â This is a local place where they know everybody's name and the regulars don't have to look at the menu.
CASH ONLY, though, so stop at an ATM first.
This is a truly authentic diner. It is owned by a wonderful Greek family who will treat you as one of their own if you are kind, but if you are rude, will not take your guff, nor should they!
The food is fresh and mostly homemade, the regulars in there are like one big happy family, and you will be hard-pressed to find such amazing value for money ANYWHERE!
Try it on a Friday night around 7:30 for the best service and full experience, and DO NOT MISS the homemade tztasiki (garlic yogurt) sauce. To die for!
What can I say, I'm a sucker for the traditional stainless steel clad diner.
After a business meeting in Harridburg, driving back to DC on Route 15. Â Shiny, diner...gotta stop.
Had a hot chicken sandwick with mash under a proportionate server of vibrant yellow gravey and pickled beets on the side. All I can say is yum. Â Not overly complicated, but everything as it should be, chicken from one cooked right there, not out of a box.
And my gosh the coffee, I forgot how much I love the diner coffee. Â Tyr it here and you will understand why firefighters and cops can drink 6 cups a day. Â SMOOTH and just the right amount of bite. I darnk three cups with lunch, free refills arriving without asking.
The waitress was prompt and attentive, pointed out that the waffles for chicken and waffels weren't homemade, ditto the pies and kept us on the right track.
A wonderful quick stop for lunch and worth supporting if you are passing through central PA.
