No greeting and was confused to either seat my self or be seated. Great coffee great food. Saturday morning is pretty busy would recommend coming in earlier if your with a group. I had the grand slam but I looked next to me and their amazing omelette seemed to be the better choice. Food still tasted good. Looking forward to going often and trying the lunch. Free coffee refills. read more

Nothing in the grift deserves five stars, but this is the best there is here. Portions and prices are big, and low, big food, low prices, breakfasts are great so are the sandwiches, I am a reuben fan, and theres are good, don't order seperate fries, share one order, unless you are Jennifer Bothel, and can eat like a hog who doesn't care about their waste line. The only bone I have is with their home fries, they are basically big chunks of potatoes, reheated, not really small enough and never get really browned and crispy, they need to be smaller cubes, and fried more, flipped more, to get a nice crispy finish. All in all, the place I recommend to folks looking for a good breakfast, or lunch here, dinner, maybe, but, you aren't going to find a really great assortment of entrees. read more

Horrible service. We got our coffee and waited 30 minutes to get our order taken. That's a bit ridicules. And deep fried bacon is gross. Very bad experience. read more

I really like this place. I am only giving 4 stars because I feel I don't have enough menu knowledge to give it 5. I have only been there 3 times but everything was either good or great! My husband absolutely loved the Vanderburger. I tend to order more traditional things like the turkey sandwich or the hot roast beef sandwich. I'm looking forward to my next trip there. It's a small place and somewhat crowded but the atmosphere is good, the booths are a nice size, and it doesn't make me feel claustrophobic. The service is quick and friendly and they don't mind making minor changes to their recipes. The prices are good. I would recommend this place to friends. read more

Service and food is always great!!! Their specials are always top notch and very affordable. My son always gets 2 orders of the cheese balls cuz he says he can't get enough of them. Keep up the good work. read more

My wife and I have had decent meals in the past. However my wife and I arrived an hour or so before she went to work. I ordered the fish and fries and she ordered the turkey , mashed potatoes with gravy on both. It was a busy Thursday afternoon . When we were served we had to eat quickly so my wife could go to work. When my wife cut into her turkey on bread she said it tasted like mush. It was extremely soggy. Decent Garvey does not do that. Extremely watery gravy does. I walked over to the waitress with the plate and watched her cut into it and observe the gravy was watery. She apologized and I ordered fish as a replacement. She reported the situation to the owner/ manager. He pulled the gravy pot and viewed /acknowledged it was like water. The waitress said we will push your fish through quickly. After 15 minutes, I told the waitress we need her meal packed to go. We waited 25 minutes for her replacement dinner. We understand problems happen in kitchens. However it's how the problem was resolved. We got no discount ( we were not looking for one) just a 10 minute turn around for her dinner - not 25 minutes! We still tipped the waitress as she had nothing to do with the problem. The problem was the manager did not oversee my wife's meal being expedited to resolve a problem. We will never return! read more

Michaels Carrot Cake is as good as it gets. Better than the OB!

I love this place. My girlfriend and I love the Vanderburger! My kids love the chicken strips! Great meatloaf too. They really do give you the best product for your money (large portions) with great service and very reasonable prices. read more

I give g and gs 4 and a half stars. This diner is awesome! I love their food especially their burgers, salads are pretty good as well! A small side of cheese fries are a mus (they can feed about 3 people). The only missing half star is it can take a little to get your food since it gets pretty busy. Other than that spectacular! read more

So my best friend and I were in Vandergrift looking at the set of Banshee that was filming there. We had decided to find somewhere in the area to get lunch but didn't realize how few options we'd have. Since G&G seemed to be the only place in town, we went in and were quite suprised. First of all, it was 2pm on a week day and it was packed. Our waitress was very nice and I got a hot turkey sandwich. The sandwich wasn't plain ol' lunch meat but was actual turkey breast. Great food and good service. The price was right too! read more

Way better than we are expecting. And I mean that as a compliment. I've been to 8000 diners, and not all of them take the time to get the food right, and hold out for quality of the way this one does. Well worth the trip. Friendly, delicious, great prices. Love it. Have breakfast here SOON read more

We came in with a party of 7 and were seated right away and helped as if we were the only people in the house. All the lunches were very good and more than some could eat. So a lot of people took boxes home. The prices were very reasonable and we will definitely be back. read more

Wow! Vandergrift. It's worth traveling a distance for brunch. Enlightened menu but true to it's small town mill roots. I'm very impressed. Food quality excellent. Service is great. Portions large (you will need a doggy bag). Music good and not loud. read more

Fantastic omelets. My goal is to try each one on the list. Reasonably priced, friendly service...what more could want?

Excellent breakfast. Huge portions and very tasty. Pancakes rival Pamela's. We will be back very soon!!!

The best French toast I've EVER had. My boyfriend and I ate here 6 months ago and are still talking about it. It's that good.

This is honestly my favorite restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door you feel like part of the family when you're greeted by the extremely friendly staff. The food is extraordinary! The breakfast is the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this small town restaurant for any meal of the day. You will not be disappointed! read more

Went there for breakfast during the week. Never had better french toast. Everything there is larger than life. The water had orange in it. Delightful. Why not 5 stars? The bizarre server. Way overly happy. Was told she was new by the manager - who was extremely helpful - when she said the prices in the menu weren't accurate and would have to confer with an iPad, that she couldn't use, to tell me the real price. Didn't ask appropriate questions when taking our order. She kept trying to refill our drinks that were full but wouldn't bring a check after asking for it 4 times. The excellent manager pulled through again. The most bizarre thing - I asked her if they had powdered sugar - she said yes and just stood there ever smiling - I had to ask if I could have some before she would get it. I'm sure I will eat there again and rate 5 if I have a different server. I'm sure she is a sweet girl, just a frustrating server. read more

The best restaurant. Great food and if you leave hungry there's something wrong with you. Be prepared you might have to wait but it's worth it. read more

Good food, friendly staff, homemade, hometown. Nothing fancy, just good food, large portions and comfortable environment.

Love, love, love! Their portion sizes are huge for how much money you pay! The food is delicious!!!!!!!!! Absolutely, delicious!!!!!!! Vanderburger and fries with a piece of pie is the best! read more

My mom and I tried this place after reading some very positive Yelp reviews. It was so good on Sunday that we went back on Monday! The pancakes are the best I've ever had -- and I've had Pamela's -- and the Reuben was delicious! We ordered the homemade potato chips ... fantastic but it's really a serving for 4 to 6. They have a large selection of pies...not made there, but wonderful nonetheless. We tried the coconut cream...YUM. It's not fancy and the decor won't win any awards, but the service is fast, attentive and very knowledgeable. The food is so incredible, I don't really care that the place isn't making it onto anyone's best dressed list. read more

Very large portions! Great service. Prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is very relaxed.

We had lunch here thanks to my daughter who took us for our birthday. Was a good experience for diner food. The hot turkey sandwich came out steaming and was very good. Wife and daughter had the gyro. Daughter gets that often and loves them here. read more

Went for breakfast and it was delicious. Service was excellent. Prices were right. Place was busy with customers coming and going.

Awesome food....huge portions for breakfast ,lunch or dinner. Prices are very reasonable. A must visit if you were never there

Dear Yelp: Curious about Vandergrift as the "first planned industrial city " in the US. The rounded corners and houses that are perfectly located. Sad ,as to industrial decline. However, this restaurant made the trip worthwhile. The plates were brimming with food and we took some home there was so much. The hot turkey sandwich was real turkey and the Vanderburger...WOW people should come here just for the Vanderburger. Waitresses and staff very friendly with a mid west kinda kindness you don't get everywhere! Staff showed us directions to local park! EAT HERE! read more

Great down home meals, and the same great service. My guy and me can split a delicious dinner or lunch for under ten bucks and be FULL! LOVE G & G!! read more

The one cook in the kitchen always leans out the window and yells at the waitresses. This is not the first time this has happened. I don't appreciate my dinner being interrupted by unnecessary yelling. Please take care of this problem. The fries are different now. They are all knubby and small verses how they used to be. What happened? read more

Stopped in this afternoon, hubby and i both got the gyro, it was delicious. Kids got chicken planks and fries which were yummy too. Our waiter was super helpful, really nice guy. Definitly going to stop back in sometime for breakfast. read more

VANDER-BURGER!!! That's it. That's the list. It's the best! It's a great value and a great burger!! Everything else is ok. Huge portions for almost everything. Breakfast is good, but more expensive than other similar breakfast spots. read more

I've really started taking a liking to G&G the past few months. My only complaints are that sometimes it takes awhile until someone comes up to cash you out at the register and the French fries are usually a mix of cooked right and way over cooked fries. read more

Id give these guys 10 stars if I could. They are great. Such down to earth people, and food is excellent. This is a true homestyle restaurant. It doesn't get any better than this folks! read more

when they invented diners this is what they had in mind. absolutely great homemade food. it just the wait is going to be long because they seem to be always packed. read more

Tried this place a week ago and had good food, friendly waitress and reasonable prices. Decided to go back today since we like to patronize local places. It's Sunday and the sign says open 'til 2 pm. But we were met at the door by a waitress who said we couldn't come in since the kitchen closes at 1:30 pm. - it was 1:31 pm! Hey G & G, if you don't let people in after 1:30, that means you actually close at 1:30. Very short-sighted on your part or the waitress. As a local place, I would think you would be a bit more flexible with your customers (especially since it was one minute passed 1:30!) and want to build some goodwill and loyalty. Apparently you don't feel that you need anymore business, so we've scratched your name off our list of good local places. read more

I have been here many times before but today my experience was tragic. For starters, the wait was about 20 minutes. I stood in the doorway with at least 15 other people being crowded into the tiny waiting area. Secondly, my scrambled eggs were dripping wet. I don't want to eat wet eggs, sorry. Finally, one single plain waffle was $6. No where on the menu (and I checked) was there a price for a single waffle so when I talked to a manager about it, he explained to me the price and was very nice about it. When checking out I said I did not enjoy my experience because I could only eat half of what I ordered and $6 for one plain waffle (that was not listed) is ridiculous to me. The woman at the front then got an attitude with me and started an argument. I know the food business and since being under new management, this place has gone downhill. I will no longer spend my money at this place! Very poor experience. Will no longer be recommending. read more
