Open-faced Reuben with onion rings.
William P.

East Penn is accommodating and clean with excellent service and great food. My girlfriend and I usually go there on Sundays. Whether we order breakfast or lunch, the food is consistently wonderful and the staff has been stellar. And their coffee has been the best I have had in a diner in some time.

Dutch Benedict.  Home fries with onions.  Perfectly crisp corned beef hash.

I was very impressed with East Penn Diner this morning. I have lived across the street for awhile now and finally got over there for breakfast. This is Dutch Benedict: English muffin, scrapple, poached egg & holidaise sauce. Crisp home fries laced with sensational fried onions. Corned beef hash that was perfectly crisp on the outside. The cook who poached these eggs is a master of his craft. The scrapple was crisp and well executed. This was one of the best diner breakfasts I have had in a long while! I can't believe it was right under my nose. The service was warm and friendly. The place was packed and my party sat at the breakfast bar. The coffee was decent. The dessert case was right in front of me and it all looked tremendous. #rushieeats

A wonderful diner experience. The service staff is kind and attentive. This is a locals feel welcome atmosphere and do by default so did we. The food was prompt & plentiful. The coffee was hot and delicious. The gorgeous glass mugs a plus. We had breakfast. In and out quickly but no one rushed us. Packed at 11am because it's well worth the visit. The way they treat their customers with care & attention is wholesome. The place was clean with plenty of seating. 10/10 would visit again.

I was gobsmacked to see "Liver and Onion," which was the bane of my childhood. Yuck! I asked whether people actually ordered it, and apparently it's quite popular. Amazing. There are NO gluten-free bread, pasta, or baked dessert items. So I ordered a Monterey Chicken Sandwich with no bread, and a side of fruit salad, to go. Got back to the hotel, and there was a very thin piece of chicken breast topped with a huge piece of ham and melted cheese, accompanied by naked lettuce, tomato, and a slice of onion. Sigh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. And there was no fruit salad. I called them and said that I didn't get it, and could I please pick it up in the morning? They very graciously said yes. Looked at my receipt, and no side was listed. That's why I didn't get it--he didn't note the order. I didn't want fries because I had some at lunch. This is a real middle-America diner. Nothing fancy, except the desserts, which looked incredibly delicious and made me sad. The salad bar was kind of scary. Lots of goopy things drenched in white stuff. Not a lot of healthy raw veggies, although there were empty bins that may have held them earlier. It's a nicely-decorated place, and they have GNOMES!! I didn't go in the lounge area, since I just got takeout and went back to the hotel. Service was very nice, polite, and friendly.

Mountainhome Diner has been around for years and is your typical diner with all-day breakfast available. It's clean and the staff were exactly what you want in a diner with friendliness and hospitality. I went with a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant with some well done potatoes. My friend had the scrapple with some scrambled eggs. I also had an orange juice. The orange juice I did not care for. Definitely not fresh squeezed. But the sandwich was excellent along with the potatoes. My friend also loved his coffee and scrapple with egg. My meal came to $11 not including tip. We'd come back!

The current owners since 2017 are husband and wife restaurateurs Ali and Etab Abullattif. The enormous menu features classic staples such as omelets, pancakes, eggs benedict, french toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast wraps, salads, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, seafood entrees, steakhouse entrees, and various Italian specialties too numerous to mention. My family and I visited Mountainhome Diner for lunch on a recent trip to the Poconos. It was actually are last morning on our trip and we were looking for a place to grab lunch before making the drive back to Connecticut. We had driven past the diner several times on previous visits to the area, but had never visited before. We decided to give them a try. It seemed like a classic American diner that you could find just about anywhere. There's no website, no social media accounts, just good old-fashioned diner staples. The staff were friendly and accommodating and they seated us at a booth. A go-to dish that my wife and I both like to get at classic diners is a Greek salad, and Mountainhome Diner's "Big Fat Greek Salad" (chopped iceberg lettuce, crumbled feta, olives, tomato, onions, peppers, grape leaves, house Greek vinegar) sounded like it was just what we were looking for. I ordered mine with gyro while my wife ordered hers with chicken. Those salads really hit the spot! For our sons, we looked to the Kids Menu. Our older son had the "Hot Dog with French fries" while our younger son had the "Chicken Fingers with French fries". They were both very happy with their dishes. We had a nice time at Mountainhome Diner and we're happy that we finally stopped in. We recommend them to anyone visiting the area!
