Gracious owners , excellent service, and just really good food. The servers all help each other and that indicates a great place to work, anytime workers get along it means the owners must do a great job of hiring, training, and retaining staff. read more

We stopped at Hickory Valley Farm Restaurant for breakfast and tried a couple of different dishes. I ordered the special Eggs Benedict with Canadian ham. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. It was okay overall, but the sauce had a slight bitterness that took away from the dish for me. We also ordered the French toast with bacon. Eggs and home fries, adding onions and green peppers to the potatoes. This was definitely the better choice. The French toast was good, and the bacon and home fries made it a hearty breakfast. The onions and green peppers were a great addition. I'd give this meal 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, it was a solid breakfast. Nothing was terrible, but based on what we tried, I'd order the French toast again before the Eggs Benedict. Eggs Benedict with Canadian ham: French toast, bacon and home fries: read more

I love diners. but this one really upset my stomach, and I think the sausage gravy gave us food poisoning both me, and the person that i was with. The food wasn't the tastiest. It was a great idea to put the food in a pan & the amount of food they gave us were great portions but the taste of the pork was terrible and then we both got sick afterwards so I don't recommend this place. read more

Alright, there are really only five things you need to keep in mind here: 1. Cash only - yes there is an ATM next to the register up front 2. On face value, the prices are a bit on the steep side 3. They are not shy at all about portion sizes which ties into point #2 4. The menu is also on the larger side 5. Breakfast and lunch only every day from 8-2:45 Past that, what else matters? This place isn't reinventing the epicurean wheel but what they do offer is excellently fast service and straight ahead non-pretentious basics. All things considered (past having a few too many flies inside) exactly what you expect from a place like this. Perfect. read more

When one is partaking in winter sports in the Poconos, one needs to fuel up on calories prior to ascending the mountain, and I can think of no better place to do so than this quaint little time capsule that probably has not changed since its inception in 1949. Here one will not find Eggs Benedict or the latest vegetable hash or a gourmet version of French toast, but will instead be treated to the classic diner version in its most stripped down form like biscuits and gravy, house made corned beef hash, chipped beef, and overstuffed omelettes served in an iron skillet pan often served alongside home fries and the humble triangular sliced and buttered toast. Inside the rustic and old school interior, there is a quirky decor with a strong pig themed motif, appropriately so since they feature several breakfast combinations with smoked ham, sausage links, bacon, and two distinct types of kielbasa all made in house. The kielbasa is the standout with a nice snap and smoky flavor. The place is often at full capacity but the turnover is fast, and service is homey as though you're at grandma's house. Prices are modestly adjusted post Covid, and they accept cash only with ATM on the premises. Kid friendly, large portions, being addressed as "honey", what can I say, I'm a sucker for the classics and simpler times. read more

I was in the area for the weekend with my son and some of his friends. I had zero familiarity with the local restaurants. I saw this place on Yelp and took a shot. Total homerun. Three of us got the Rueben and the waitress said "good choice". She said the owner makes his own corned beef and smokes his own meats. Best Rueben I've had since I left New York 20 years ago. The meat was tender and flavorful, the sauerkraut was soft and tasty, and the bread was outstanding. It was also perfectly prepared. Nice crust on the grilled rye. The owner told me they got the bread from NYC every day. If you're in the area, this is the spot for breakfast/lunch. read more

The inside of this place was very cute! They had so many collections of pig figures in every corner/side of the store which made me having fun looking at them while waiting for the food. We ordered the breakfast combo, omelette, pork sausage with homemade gravy. Home fries were bland (but you eat it with ketchup anyways) but other than that everything tasted good. Homemade gravy was something that I could only found from here and it is definitely a must-try. The server lady was nice as well, she offered to substitute and adjust our order when we were having a hard time compromising the orders. I was just visiting this area but if I get a chance to go back, I will be glad to eat here again. read more

Hickory Valley Farm Restaurant - wrap and omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Swiftwater, Pennsylvania

Don't come here if you have a big party. I called Hickory Valley and asked if they can accommodate 13 adults and 7 children. The lovely lady on the line said as of now it seems ok but it is first come first serve and you may have to wait but we can accommodate. I said no worries I understand and thats fine. Braving the rain with all the kiddies from 4 months to 8 years old we arrive at the restaurant to put our name down. The owner a older gentleman off the bat was displeased to hear we have such a large group and said you'll have to wait. We said no worries and understood. For the next 15 minutes or so we patiently sat at the counter while the owner came back periodically asking if our party was all there. I said no they are a few minutes away due to the rain. Eventually he said to me in front of my kids your party is too big and we won't be able to accommodate your table. I politely said we are willing to wait but the owner refused to accommodate us. I said the lovely lady said she will work to accommodate us and he said that is my wife but don't have room for you all. The staff and the owner's wife was lovely during the whole ordeal but I will never go back to the restaurant given such a horrible attitude and service before I even get seated to eat especially since we called in and was told they will accommodate to telling us to wait for seating only to be turned away afterwards. We left the restaurant and drove to Fork street restaurant and although they did not have seats for us but moved tables around and got us seated within minutes. If you are a big party with kids, I highly recommend skipping Hickory Valley and going to fork street. read more

Save money from these resorts & come have a delicious like home breakfast. Loved all the pig decor all over it was cute. I was surprised by how big it was inside, plenty of room for all of us "out of towners." We ordered OJ, chocolate milk, kids silver dollar pancakes (the kids split and they still didn't eat all of them!!), egg sandwich, pancakes. I could have probably actually split the silver dollar pancakes with the kids to be totally honest lol. Lots of food, very good and the price was great. Our server was friendly and fast. My goodness she was running. I would definitely come back here. We all enjoyed our breakfast. read more

You don't want to miss the chance to eat at Hickory Valley Farm. Their breakfast and lunch menu leaves nothing to be desired. They have everything you could want for breakfast and although they won't make modifications, they do their best to accommodate. The service was hands down some of the best I've ever received. I did not get our waitress' name, but she was absolutely lovely and added pancakes on at the last minute and got them out to us expedited. They are CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM. Ambiance is quaint. You feel like you're in a southern old school breakfast joint. It reminded me a lot of a good old Mississippi breakfast. We'll be back!! read more

It's a chance to visit a famous old-Poconos restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Great food served in frying pans, exceptional meats,. Photos of movie stars on the wall. One feels transported to a mid 20th century experience.

Went here the second time because the food was delicious and the waitress Andre very nice. However, the second time, when we are leaving, I was asking the waitress a hot cup for to go and this guy supposed to be the owner of this place asked me to go step aside. And I told him I'm sorry I didn't know if you're going left or right. I'm getting my cup and I'll leave. Then the old guys said, good, I told him are you the owner of this place and he said yes. I told him that he's very rude to customers and I will leave and not come back. The owner said good don't come back, we don't need you anyway. Our. Waitress apologized to us but this owner told her to go to the kitchen. The owner does not value his customers. He is very rude and without his customers he's nothing. read more

I'd say this place was a 4 out of five. Only reason I gave it a 4 is because seating arrangement was bad and chairs were uncomfortable. Other then that are waitress was amazing and so fast. Food was so delicious. I got the 3 little piggies and none of them made it home. read more

Beware of overcharging on the bill which happened to both us and other customers in the restaurant. We had high expectations for this restaurant given the high reviews on both yelp and Google but it is way, way over hyped. We went to a different diner in the area yesterday and it was literally half the price ($115 vs less than $60 for the same exact meal) with higher quality and larger portions. The steak (cooked medium) was literally the toughest meat I've ever tasted. Hubby gave me a piece and in trying to chew it I literally hit my fork against the table and it really pulled at my teeth. And then I gave the piece back to him! The potatoes and pancakes and sausage links were all significantly worse than the other diner in the area. The sausages were about one third the size. Smaller, no whipped cream or sauce or anything. The orange juice was terrible and definitely store bought. I don't know why they added farm to their name. The add on strawberries were not fresh but rather like old, preserved tiny shriveled things in slightly watery jam. This place is definitely a tourist trap full of families and little kids from out of town. Review the bill carefully. read more

This place hits a few key notes that deem it to be awesome, 1st, the restaurant has been opened since 1949, any restaurant opened for this long should be visited, any restaurant that only serves breakfast and lastly any restaurant that serves all it's food on skillets. I really loved the look and feel of the restaurant, it felt like a old inn and to add to our experience, our waitress was sweetheart. The food: 2 Little Piggys- 2 Scrambled eggs, one pancake, one French Toast, Kielbasa, home fries and toast- Overall, I thought this was a pretty awesome breakfast. My two favorite items on the plate were the Kielbasa and their pancake. The Kielbasa was a recommendation from the waitress and it was a delish, the pancakes were made really well, it had good texture and it was nice and moist, I could eat it with syrup. The eggs were standard, the French Toast was just OK, I feel it needed a little more flavor and it was a little firm for my liking. The home fries were average, I feel that could have used some butter and seasoning. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GGlhZu3D-lq1P2q9UocZhw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Homemade Corned Beef Hash & Eggs- I thought their hash was pretty awesome, it was delicious and you could really tell it was homemade. read more

So we have been here for breakfast. A lot of delicious food in a frying pan. Hot and delicious. We decided to try them for lunch. Greeted nicely and coffee was hot and fresh. Husband got a chicken wrap and I got a chicken sandwich. Both were served with fries and coleslaw in frying pans. The sandwiches were huge! Grilled chicken in both was so moist and plentiful. Mine had bacon and it really was too much! (Who ever said that?) I could only eat half and heated it up for another meal!! read more

So, my nephew has been talking about this place for months! He and I are HUGE breakfast foodies so I decided to give it a try. It was Father's Day and so It was my treat - and it was worth the trip! When we walked in we were immediately greeted. There was no wait - so we got to sit and order quickly. The server was super friendly. The owner was there and actually sat with us a bit to talk about the food and how proud he was of his son - the cook. (With good reason!) The menu is rather lengthy - 8 pages - but, if the cook prepares everything as well as my plate was prepared - the whole menu has to rock! My elderly mother truly enjoyed her breakfast - a suggestion from the server. Me and my nephew ordered a side of kielbasa (?) which is split in half and cooked to crispy ( ) I ordered over easy eggs - PERFECT!! BTW not as easy as you might think and rarely cooked correctly. I added the onions and peppers to the Hash browns (a note follows) The bacon was delicious as was the sausage. Here are a few...buts... I think the bread should be revisited as the "whole grain" wheat bread isn't good. It's a slightly brown version of white bread and so if you enjoy true whole grain bread - you will be let down. I ordered the hash browns "well done" and they came out as they did for everyone. That was a bit of a bummer. Now, I am being super-picky - because trust me I ate EVERYTHING and used the "wheat" bread to sop up the remnants left on my plate. Maybe consider offering a HOT LINK to the menu? The coffee was okay. Expected. I'm guessing Farmer Brothers? I enjoy a deep rich dark roast. This place is CASH ONLY - but, you don't need to bring it as they have an ATM machine right next to the cash register. (Very smart) They offer dinner counter service if you're alone. There's plenty of parking. The bathrooms were clean. The atmosphere is inviting. So, all-in-all this is a GREAT PLACE TO GRUB!! I will be retiring Amy times as I want to experience most of the menu! KUDOS TO HVFR!! Thanks for the great meal! See you soon. PS - take a pic with the HOT PINK PIG! read more

Felt like grandma's kitchen inside, family friendly atmosphere. We came for breakfast. The food was delightful and the staff was friendly. Food served in the pan was charming. The pancakes were made with vanilla, which I appreciate. The coffee was pretty smooth too. My potatoes were a little cold but that is the only negative I could find. I grabbed some local honey and gator jam on the way out the door. Definitely worth trying. read more
