Being in western PA, the salad had to have french fries on it, obviously, the buffalo sauce was just hot enough to make my nose a little, but not too hot to overshadow the flavor of the other parts of the salad. The one thing I didn't like, and it's a pet pet of mine, others may not have a problem with it, is that they serve the dressing in cups and put the plastic cups in the salad. I've never been a fan of that even if it does make it easier for the server to carry - just put the cups on the side of the salad for me please. Again I realize that's a personal preference and not indicative of the quality of the food. I definitely will come back

Food: A+ Service: A+ (shoutout to Paige!)…read more This is easily the best diner I've been to--no exaggeration. The staff actually seem happy to be there, which makes a big difference, and the food portions are huge. Paige, our waitress, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Best part? Big portions don't mean big prices. $50 for a family of four and you leave full. Be prepared to take home leftovers! You have to try the three stacked pancakes--they're literally the size of a plate. Highly recommend supporting this small business. We'll definitely be back.

I go to try their fish sandwich, French toast, Syrian toast, Shankleesh, and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Everything was great, but most items were pretty simple. Bacon egg and cheese came in a solid portion for the price, and although the bacon was somewhat limp, it was still pretty tasty. The fish sandwich came with 2 fish Pattie's which were well coated but not that flavorful. No dipping sauce sadly, and the bread was just standard. But again great portion. The French toast was an amazing deal. So, so many pieces and a big side of syrup. High quality for the price too. That was super good. The Syrian toast I thought was interesting but not really my thing, as it seemed to be buttered up decently and was a tad stale. But, the Shankleesh (this sort of spicy cheese) was very cool, small cup but super flavorful and salty. All in all, very nice historic place. Good relaxed vibe and a nice menu with good portions and prices.

Five Stars: Breakfast Bliss at Freedom Square Diner!…read more Listen up, breakfast lovers of the Greater Pittsburgh area - if you haven't made the pilgrimage to Freedom Square Diner in Natrona Heights, you're doing brunch wrong. This place is the real deal, and I'm about to tell you why you need to go (but maybe get there early) The Good News: Pretty much everything on the menu slaps. The Bad News: Everyone else knows this too, so prepare to wait. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? Let's talk about my current obsession: the Steak Benedict with cottage fries. First of all, cottage fries = deep-fried seasoned home fries, which is basically the most beautiful thing I can imagine. But the star of the show? That perfectly cooked steak, those just-right poached eggs, and the toast underneath that's absolutely swimming in steak juice and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise is chef's kiss - not too thick, not too runny, just absolute perfection. This dish is a religious experience on a plate. The French toast is another winner. It used to be thicker (maybe Italian bread?), and while it's a bit thinner these days, it's still absolutely delicious. Sometimes change is okay, folks. My wife is a creature of habit and always orders the Farmer's Breakfast - four eggs (yes, FOUR), her beloved ham slice (she could get two different meats but she knows what she wants), and home fries loaded with peppers and onions. Pro tip: you're going to need extra toast for this beast of a meal. It's hearty, it's filling, and it's everything a breakfast should be. Dad's go-to is the create-your-own omelette, and he's never been disappointed. Honestly, we've tried a ton of different things here over multiple visits, and we have yet to find anything on the menu that misses the mark. The portions are generous and the prices are more than fair - you're getting serious bang for your buck here. Now, let me tell you about the X-factor that made our most recent visit absolutely stellar: Diane. This legend came in on her day off and served us like we were family. She was funny, kind, attentive, and just made the whole experience that much better. Service like hers is what turns a great meal into a great memory. Diane, if you're reading this, you're a rockstar! One tiny caveat: For the love of all that is holy, do NOT order water. I'm pretty sure they're pulling it straight from the tap while the fountain drinks taste great. The water is... not good, y'all. Please, Freedom Square, invest in a filter for the water! Your food is too good for your customers to be choking down questionable H2O. Bottom Line: This is our go-to breakfast spot, and it should be yours too. Yes, you'll wait. Yes, it's packed. But it's packed for a reason - the food is consistently excellent, the portions are huge, the prices are right, and when you get a server like Diane, it's the whole package. Just maybe bring a water bottle from home. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back (as soon as we work off this food baby).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Examples of menu items are salads, bagels, crepes, pancakes, French toasts, waffles, omelettes, croissants, paninis and other sandwiches, and coffees. My husband and I ate one breakfast here on a Saturday morning. An employee immediately and courteously greeted us and seated us at a clean and spacious table. Soon she took our order and brought out our drinks and foods. At the end of the meal, she promptly processed our payment and thanked us. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate: Turkish Plate - 4.5 stars - I think that Gino might be Turkish, and this entree was one of the few Turkish menu items. It consisted of scrambled eggs, black olives, two cheeses, sliced tomato and cucumber, French fries, toasted bread, jelly, honey, and butter. Fruit Tea Waffle - 5 stars - A waffle was topped with Nutella, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. The fruits were very fresh, abundant, and sweet. On the side was whipped cream. Egg-bacon Omelet - 4 stars - My husband ate this omelet, and he thought that it tasted good. It was a good size, and it contained bacon, onions, and mozzarella cheese. On the side were three plain pancakes. Orange juice - 4.5 stars - This orange juice contained some purple and tasted fresh.
