THE BEST KEPT SECRET in Scranton. Great little diner that serves Greek food as well as traditional American food. (Hamburgs are large and delicious) Great salads and exceptional deserts. You must try the HOMEMADE rice pudding...you will think you are in grandma's kitchen! Things to love about this diner....the owner runs it meticulously. (For those who remember the Castle Restaurant run by Peter Kaldes... this little diner is run the same way, only on a smaller scale. Always clean, fast friendly service, caters to your needs, great homey atmosphere, efficient wait staff, great cooks. I guess the GREEKS are just darn good at running restaurants!) So if you just want a gyro or an authentic Greek dinner, homemade soups, Greek pastries or American fare, stop in and take a seat...the owner will great you with warm welcome! You won't be disappointed! read more

Boulevard Diner - Linda P. - New American Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I struggled with a 3 or 4, definitely at least 3.5. Clean dinner, very nice waitresses. Reasonable menu, diner standards with a Greek influence. I had chicken rice soup (a bit salty and lots of rice), and the grilled gyro sandwich. Gyro meat, swiss and tszaki on rye. It was the highlight of the meal. The fries were fine, but fresh cut fries would have definitely pushed them to a 4. I did eat every bite. read more

Had lunch while in town for a wedding. Nice little throwback diner that I remembered from my childhood. Don't have places like this where we live. Good food, good service. It was a bit warm inside due to the hot summer weather but we enjoyed our food. read more

Food was good for the price. I have to say it was very busy and we didn't see the waitress much. But they were nice just need to be more on the ball with drink refills. Never got our refills and waited 25ish minutes after food for check. Maybe I'll come back a different time but I don't know. read more

I love diners, and this one's special. Breakfast all day, friendly staff, great food.

Outstanding ! Best in Scranton! Friendly and you never feel rushed Best wait staff ever read more

For me this place is a hit or miss. I lived right around the corner and this was a quick (not so convenient) meal at times. Called in orders have often been incorrect. Idk who would order a 'bacon egg and cheese' with no egg? Anyhow, I have always gotten take out so I cannot speak to the dining service. read more

Great food! The owner Angel and staff are welcoming and accommodating. Such good breakfasts!

Good hearty food, not that salty, made fresh in-house. Homey atmosphere. Has its own parking lot. Lots of servers who pay attention to you.

No complaints. Best patty melt I've had in years. Wife had turkey club. Just a fast in n out quiet meal. Definitely good for a quick bite to eat. Jennifer was super nice ! read more

Tried this for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Food came out like warm. Waitress was pleasant but rest of staff had no personality, felt like it was a bother to be there. Probably will not return. Like anything else. May have just caught it on a bad day but first impressions mean a lot. read more

My wife and I eat here for breakfast when we are in town. Service is always quick and friendly. Most importantly, when my wife asks for crispy bacon, she gets crispy bacon. Simple menu, does the job for breakfast. read more

Excellent gyros and very friendly staff. Clean cozy cafe! Fun to drive though Scranton.

Stopped by for breakfast and I ordered steak and eggs. I asked for a medium steak and received a well done. It was hard cutting through and when I received my food. They piled everything into one small plate and I had to ask for another plate to just put the bread on. To top it off, the kitchen was banging on something that was very loud that irritated me while I was eating for 15-20 minutes. The ambience is mediocre and I probably won't come back. They need to be more respectful and courteous to the customers and do their loud cleaning out back. If you're looking for a quick and last desperate breakfast spot then maybe try this place but otherwise go elsewhere. read more

Nice little diner. This is right down the road from my work, Electric City Axe Throwing, so it's a good place for me to grab breakfast at. I had the Gyro omelette which was a first for me and it was really good. I like the Greek and American combination for a diner. It's a cool combo. read more

TERRIBLE coffee. Tasted more like I was drinking a cup of hot water with sugar and cream. (No kidding) And the pancakes and sausage were not good. The sausages were bland and the pancakes (obviously the "just add water" type tasted funny as if the water used was from a nearby stream. Never eating there again. read more

I had lunch at this place (with several friends) for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed it. Good location, adequate parking, friendly employees, warmly greeted upon entering, clean, many menu choices, delicious tuna sandwich, decently clean men's restroom, and reasonably priced. read more

I love this place. The best kind of Greasy spoon Greek diner. Food is consistent (have only been for breakfast) and the wait staff are attentive even when it's packed to capacity, which is often and that's a good thing, I'm happy their thriving. read more

First thing to love about this place. A one page menu. I think most restaurants have taken choices to the level of confusion - not this place. 1 page menu double sided read more

Had a wonderful late breakfast/ lunch over 4th of July weekendZ Super friendly staff and great food

Perfect BLT, charming classic small diner feel, fab chocolate cake. Lovely staff. A new fave

The best Greek food in the area, fantastic breakfasts, and the nicest owners/chefs and wait staff anywhere! If you've never been here before you've got to go! They just added a second room also, which makes it a little more roomy, while still keeping its homey feel. I had one of the grand opening specials. Soup, spinach pie, braised lamb shank and delicious Greek dessert were all incredible. But like I said above, what really makes it stand out is the ownership and the wait staff. They always make you feel like you're at home and they are always professional at the same time. Don't miss it! read more

On Sunday July 26, we had breakfast at Boulevard Diner. It is a small restaurant, but does have a small parking lot in front with sufficient parking for a car for each table. They have a variety of omelettes available, as well as corned beef hash and Taylor ham (I presume this is pork roll, I did not ask). They also have a gyro omelette on the menu. Breakfast came with coffee and a small juice (a 4 or 6 oz orange, cranberry or tomato). The coffee was good and so was my spinach and feta omelette with home fries. My husband said that his corned beef and Swiss omelette was good (extra charge for cheese $1.00 for any omelettes in which it is not listed as and ingredient). We both thought the russet home fries were tasty (although I would have liked them even better if they were a little more crisp). Toast was included and my husband had the rye. We enjoyed the meal and the total was under $16.00 + tip for two of us. The service was very good and coffee refills were readily offered. With this said, if you are accustomed to the portion sizes at NJ diners and leave 1/3 of your breakfast behind, this will not likely be the case at Boulevard Diner. I almost never finish my home fries and my omelette, but today, I cleaned my plate. Overall it was a good meal and a good value. I would call me back if I am ever back in Scranton. read more

Good food Good price, service was ok. Nothing special just all around ok. Coffee good, kielbasa and eggs were tasty and worthwhile. We would go again. read more

On Monday February 8th, We had the pleasure of having lunch at the Boulevard Diner at 1800 Boulevard Street in Scranton. An authentic Greek Diner, Boulevard opened in 2011 and has a big menu offering dishes ranging from waffles to omelettes, Greek pastries to cheesecake, homemade soups to healthy salads, and triple deckers to the Hungry Man Special (a breakfast dish consisting of two pancakes, two eggs and meat, potato and toast for $7.95) among many other platters and side orders.They also have a Greek Corner on their menu that includes: Gyro sandwiches and platters, Spinach Pie, Moussaka, and Pistachio all served with Greek Salad, and Homemade Dolmades (stuffed Grape Leaves.) For lunch I ordered the Open Faced Turkey sandwich (it's my favorite meal to order at a diner) with a side of mashed potatoes from scratch, and green beans as well as a side salad. Holy Moly the size of the plate was huge! I was not let down.The waitress was impressed that I didn't leave one drop of gravy on my plate. How could I? I always take on plates like that as a challenge; I always win. The meal runs $9.95 and is big enough to feed two people. We also ordered a mushroom, cheddar, and tomato omelette that was also big as our plate which is always awesome. The service at Boulevard Diner is quick, and the staff comes out and visits each table, a true mom and pop diner that feels like home! Both lunches were prepared owner, operator,& chef Antonios 'Tony' Kalyvas and his son Apostolis. The Boulevard Diner also delivers with limited distance ($25 minimum outside of limits) which I think is very cool because I don't think I have ever heard of a diner that delivers before. Go visit and let us know what you think and let them know who sent you. If you are a regular, what is your favorite dish? Hours of Operation Monday-Saturday 8:00 am - 8:00 pm and Sundays 8:00 am - 2:00 pm. -Klines Korner NEPA FoodBlogger read more

Loved this little diner. We stopped on our way out of town and the food and service was good. We totally understood that due to Corona, the diner was short staffed so we didn't mind the wait. They offered indoor and outdoor dining but we preferred to be outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather. We were properly socially distant from the other diners. The portions were great. read more

I am visiting from NY and always looking for a good restaurant. This is a very good Diner! I know diners coming from Long Island and this is a very good diner, by NY standards. The owner is a very talented and a very experienced resauran owner. The food is excellent! The service is very good. Everyone in Northeast Pa. Must come here for breakfast or lunch and enjoy quality Greek and American comfort food The owner is very very nice, too which makes for a nice dining experiencce. read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside. Although when you walk in, your are greeted by friendly, fun staff and the aroma of great food coming from the kitchen. This place is definitely set apart from the other diners in the area as far as quality of food and options. You can get anything from homemade style Greek cuisine, to just about any American dish you can think of. Also, I've just noticed they serve some finer Italian dishes as well such as "chicken francese", but I haven't tried it yet. Do stop in here and get something.... You won't be disappointed! I suggest a gyro read more

In town for business, thought I'd stop by to grab a quick breakfast. I was itching for a diner style breakfast, so I saw this place on Yelp and I thought I'd give it a try. Small diner with some parking in the front. About 12 tables. Greek influenced, which generously produces some of the best diners. I decided on the chocolate chip and banana pancakes, with a side of bacon. Coffee and a small "shot glass" of juice is included. Unfortunately the juice is from a container keep in the front fridge, same with other juices. I guess I was expecting fresh orange juice, but that's ok! Free refills on the coffee too. Food came out hella fast! Almost too fast judging by the bacon, which tasted good but not crispy enough to me. I generally don't eat my chocolate chip pancakes with syrup because it's too rich, and I followed that tradition today as well since I felt the banana chunks would sweeten it up as well. I was right, they were mighty sweet enough. Pancakes were huge, couldn't finish all 3. It's your standard diner. If you're not looking to be blown away, and if you want to be in and out, go here with confidence. read more

We started going here 5 years ago on the way home from one of my husband's doctor appointments. The owner, Tony, is an absolute sweetheart and the wait & kitchen staff are friendly, hard-working people, too. We always order the Greek food & end up taking something home for another day- it's that good! The Dolmades are outstanding (covered in a yummy lemon sauce), Spanakopita reheats nicely in the toaster oven and the Pastichio (aka Greek lasagna) is great. Best home-made soups: the lentil is by far our favorite. Delicious Greek desserts and rice pudding. read more

Great little local diner.. hot open turkey with gravy, fresh baked turkey was great.... chicken sandwich with bacon lettuce tomato on a hard roll also very good! Son and I stopped by before we drove home. Loved it!! will be back! Our waitress Laura was a pleasure to talk to and made our lunch that much better.... read more

We ordered the Gyros, Dolmades, and Fries. The food was awesome, and so was the staff. Very friendly, and cozy!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!

What an enjoyable meal and GREAT service. The owner Tony tops off the meal by coming out to introduce himself. Food is awesome and I promise you won't leave hungry!! read more

It's a diner with some Greek dishes. The food is plentiful, if uninspired. I had lamb shank with orzo and lemon potatoes. The lemon potatoes were quite good. The lamb shank was old, dried out and not warmed up enough. The salad which came with the meal was iceberg lettuce, tasteless tomatoes, (the rule of winter, I know)with a tasteless balsamic vinaigrette. Hard to make tasteless vinaigrette, but they managed. Service was excellent and friendly. Food is cheap, so you get what you pay for. Not a gem in the rough. read more

Great Scranton diner (the locals are 'known' here so you know the food had to be good)! It was hot and the coffee was great too!

Good food staff very friendly. All breakfast entrees come with coffee & a small juice.
