They do a great job with that breakfast staple,and for that alone this place is worth a try .

This is a well-established diner - it's been around for over 50 years at this point. And since it's…read moreas old and well known as it is, that means it's popular. So the larger your group is, the harder it will be for you to get a table. Parking can get tricky too. My own gaggle of friends has learned to carpool, and we accept that we won't always be seated directly together. Like any good diner, Dog House's menu has plenty of breakfast options, along with burgers and sandwiches. The menu is simple but solid, and the prices are reasonable. The French toast is my bestie's favorite, and I can confirm that their burgers and Belgian waffle are also quite good. Most recently I ordered the Chicken & Waffles; it was tasty, but I admittedly wish it came with more syrup. Also wouldn't have been upset if it came with one more tender since they were on the smaller side. The staff are very nice and they clearly work as quickly as possible. Of course, their speed is always dependent on how busy the diner is overall. I'll echo other reviewers saying that if you go in expecting to eat at a small town diner, you won't be disappointed. And my recommendation is to order a breakfast item or a burger to get the whole small town diner experience!

My waitress Charged my credit card $1,200 for a tip instead of $12…read more This establishment seems to cater to a large amount of elderly who probably never catch this mishap that the owner states "happens often". *note that the response to my review is not the owner and is very defensive with not even an apology. My food/drink bill was $53. I paid credit card. Statement showed Food charged separate from $12 tip in two separate transactions on my card. I ate there at 2p. They close at 3 PM. I noticed at 11pm that night. When I called the next day at 12pm, the owner, Sam, stated "not possible bc the drawer balanced out the night before". I explained that was impossible. I have worked at many restaurants and a mistake that egregious shows up immediately. He stated the waitress accidentally typed in "a few extra zeros", noticed it, then cleared the mistake and retyped in the proper amount which was $12. Sam then stated that the $1200 must have been the amount to go through to the credit card instead of the corrected amount that she submitted. . Again that's impossible because if that was the case then my credit card would have charged the $1200 PLUS another charge for the corrected $12. I did not have that on my statement. He did not like my argument. In fact i had a $53 charge. And a separate $1200 charge with no $12 (tip) charged at all. He said very methodically, " oh don't worry this happens often at my restaurant" and then said , "but dont worry because it always remedies itself and the charge falls off of the credit card AND THEN the credit card replaces the dropped off incorrect amount with the proper amount". Yeah, I'm sure it does correct itself --the remedy comes in when the customer finds it then the manager fixes it. But if the customer DOESNT find it then it stays in the owner /employee pocket. there was no apology, no verbiage of how he would remedy it moving forward with other costumers. This is concerning. he was dismissive stating it was not a big deal. The bigger issue is that ....HAD I NOT LOOKED AT MY CREDIT CARD I WIULD HAVE EATEN THAT AMOUNT OF $1200. How many elderly are being scammed????? If you eat here, make sure to pay cash. As soon as I called out their scam , the next day the $1200 was removed from my credit card and so was the $53 charge. I then found a new charge of $65. I feel bad for the elderly that are in there and possibly getting scammed without knowing. TO ALL THE SENIORS WHO GO here -CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS OR PAY WITH CASH. . No one greets you. You seat yourself. The restaurant was filled with almost exclusively elderly people. Food was good. Potential loss of funds was horrid. Response even worse. Eek.

Easy to get to and find. Parking is on the street out front. Pretty easy. Menu is breakfast, lunch and dinner. Usual diner fare for all 3. We got the breakfast wrap which is eggs, choice of meat and veggies and cheese. You can pick the veggies. I got all the veggies. And a side of home fries. My partner got the big breakfast BLT with home fries. It took a bit so it's made to order. When it arrived it was hot off the grill. The wrap was grilled and it was melty and good. The home fries were chunky and crispy. Good!! Our server was very nice and attentive. No complaints. The be place is small but it can fit about 45 people. Menu variety is good. Prices aren't bad at all. If in the area it's definitely worth a try.

I was looking for a place that served buckwheat pancakes, which is something the community of…read moreKingwood, WV is very proud of. There's even a historical marker about it just a block away from the diner. The Down Home Diner has won some awards, including for their buckwheat cakes. It's basically your small-town diner where there are lots of seniors (most of whom I assume are regulars) and it is small. Which is fine! Service was great and, of course, I had the AYCE buckwheat cakes. This was my first time tasting such thing. They were all great that I walked out stuffed. Be sure to check the hours of the diner - the lady working there told me they used to have longer hours and they used to be open during suppertime, but they couldn't find reliable help. I hope that changes!
