Wonderful service and a great homemade meal. Quaint setting with authentic old diner feel.

I wish I lived closer. Found this place on yelp while we were traveling through and it was literally the best breakfast we've ever had. The friendly people were so nice and we literally felt welcomed from start to finish. read more

Thank God for yelp! I searched for breakfast and found this quaint and very clean diner. One word - YUM!!! If I am ever back in the area, it will be my go to spot. read more

First time today as we just moved to Middletown and this is definitely going to be our new go-to! I got the Big Breakfast and it was all perfectly cooked. Over easy eggs at a diner can be iffy but these were *chef's kiss.* French toast was magical, bacon was superb, the actual toast was drenched in butter, the home fries tasted like they were cooked in butter, it was everything I wanted. Oh and I also almost cried watching one of the waitresses talk to a deaf older patron, she was so patient. I love this place. No question 5 stars and I will be back again and again! read more

Here in Harrisburg for a firefighter convention. And found this on yelp. It's a very retro cool place. The old style silver diner. Wasn't busy when walked in but got busy quickly. The food came out very quickly. And is solidly good diner breakfast food. They are known for their rope sausage so we ordered a side of this. It was good. Tastes like sweet Italian sausage. We ordered both big breakfast with pancakes on the side. I got scrapple which could have been cooked longer. Wasn't crispy but I heard someone else asking for theirs crispy. Overall a good experience read more

Great breakfast for the whole family. Good service, good food, cute spot. Would definitely come here again.

I visit this diner pretty much every time I visit my parents in central PA and we love it. The menu has your typical diner food but is always delicious and consistent. It's also super clean inside and the food comes out very quickly. What really set this spot apart from others is the service! The waitresses are so friendly and the kitchen staff always comes out to say hello. It also has the old school diner feel! Highly recommend! read more

It took an out-of-towner to tell me how good the food is at Highspire Diner and I live right around the corner. My husband had the Sideliner, and after I saw it I wished I had ordered it too. He said he could eat it all of the time. I had an Athenian omelet with home fries and rye toast. It was delicious. I love the diner itself as it is a piece of old Americana--a 50's interior with counter seats and booths. Imagine that it is right down the street! If you ever want to sell this diner, give me a call. read more

An original diner served the old way. I swear, I thought I was in an old episode of "Alice". We walked into this diner that claimed to have been open since it was delivered to the spot in 1952. Two of the local patrons backed that up with personal stories. The waitress was a "Flo" clone and had us rolling in the aisle. And, while there were 19 counter stools, we opted for a booth. About the only thing not original is that a full kitchen was added on in place of the behind the counter grill. But, that was a good thing. Julie ordered chocolate chip pancakes and I had the meat lovers omellete. Julie said the pancakes were tasty but a bit dry and needed extra syrup.....like that's a bad thing. My omellete came farm style with the fixin's mixed into the eggs. Real home fries (not those fake thing served in California) on the side and a cup of real Joe, not that green mermaid froo froo stuff. All in all, a great breakfast at a good price in a real diner. How cool is that? read more

Delicious breakfast! Everything was very good. Would definitely come back. I had the blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast & scrapple. Would recommend them all. About as good as a diner can get so warrants the 5 star. read more

This is my favorite place to eat. The owners are so kind and they come out to make sure the guests are enjoying their meal, they make it so personable. The servers are wonderful and make sure you have enough coffee and sodas. I definitely recommend eating here, the food is great and it won't break your bank account. Kim read more

Came in for breakfast after a funeral in the area and wasn't disappointed. It was quaint and clean and it had that down home feel. The server was very friendly and made us feel right At home. The prices are comparable to other breakfast places but I thought it would be cheaper due to the type of place and the location but it didn't break the bank. They seem to have a lot of home made specials. I'd definitely go back if I was in the area again! read more

Highspire Diner - Cream chipped beef and home fries with onions - Diners Near Me - Highspire, Pennsylvania

I will always have fond memories of this diner. Among other reasons, it was the very first wagon-style diner that I ever went to. I'll be honest - upon first arrival, I was less than impressed. It was dim, but it definitely has it's own quirky charm. The diner is small and out of the way for all but local traffic. Although I make it out only a few times per year, the staff always seems to remember me. The staff here feels less like waitstaff and more like family. The food is fairly standard diner fare with specials that change daily. They're great about making substitutions and accommodations. I've been there with people from ages six to thirty-five, and no one has ever complained. If you're in the area or even just vaguely interested in a trip out, I highly recommend the place. In my opinion it's well worth the drive. read more

Excellent service. My friend and I went for breakfast and the food was delicious, fresh and homemade! (No frozen potatoes ). It's also a very comfortable place to go if you're eating alone. read more

First time there. Clean, authentic 1950s diner. The real deal! The food was perfect. I had a classic burger and fries. My better half had one of their hot sub sandwiches. The prices there belong in the 1950s. The staff was friendly and attentive. Will absolutely go here again! A lot of diners are cash only and this is no exception, never to fear however. They have an ATM if you need money. read more

Highspire Diner - Diners Near Me - Highspire, Pennsylvania

I love this place! The food is always well prepared and served quickly. Prices are cheap to reasonable. The diner itself is always immaculate and clean. It is an original stainless steel diner, how can you not love it? Tip: When I pick up friends or family from the West Coast flying overnight into HIA, I generally bring them here as it is just around the corner from the airport. They love the PA specific foods available. Apparently creamed chipped beef is not available in California! read more

Awesome food! Cool digs! Passing through town? This is a must stop, if you like home cooked meals in an original Deco style Diner, you gotta stop in this place. Tell Charlie I sent you! We stopped in on our way to Jersey. PS: good scrapple, waffles and the sideliner for those who like hash! And to top it off a Rita's Water Ice right across the street. (Try Cherry Gelato!). Life doesn't get much better! read more

very friendly staff!! small diner but great food.. definitely my go to place when i'm back in town.

1st time here and definitely won't be our last. From the rope of sausage and the Pipeliner to the coffee and the service in general...everything was top notch. My new favorite diner. Go Pens! read more

Great food, friendly people and awesome service. In town for a baseball tournament and stopped before our game. Don't have these kind of places in NOVA...so this was a treat! Must go! read more

Yelp failed me on this one! I definitely don't see where all the praise is coming from!!! Clam chowder was nasty and the waitress asked if something was wrong. When I told her I didn't like it all I got was a shrug. Chewy cheeseburger, too. And this place is not clean! Never again!! read more

Excellent service. I had a gyro which was very good. My Dad had their lunch special which was haddock and he said his was wonderful. We shared his potato fries which were excellent. Very cute diner. Light and very clean. Prices were really good. Will definitely go back and I'm sure will be a regular spot for us. read more

I am in LOVE with this place! Every single time we're here the food just gets better and better!! And the service is always great! Good food, good prices and supporting a local business- make sure you come see them! And they now accept credit/debit cards! read more

Love breakfast here. Link sausage is yummy. Close by to Steelton. Limited seating, but that's ok. Never a problem getting a seat. Great service. Homemade food. A little slow when busy, but expected for a small operation. Food quality And taste are worth it. read more

Such a cute little place in Highspire! The atmosphere definitely feels like you're back in the 50's. They play golden oldies while you're enjoying an amazing meal. The staff and the owners are super sweet as well. My meat lovers omelette and home fries were cooked to perfection! My family and I will definitely be back! read more

We were here on a trip to the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania. We noticed this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. It was AMAZING. My friend and I shared the big platter with pancakes eggs hash browns and bacon. It was really good. Our mothers really enjoyed their food as well. We will definitely be back here. My only complaint is that the seating area is tiny. There are about 6 tables and a cramped little bar type area. We were here in the middle of the day but I'm sure there are big lines out the door on a Sunday morning. Defiantly love this place and we will be sure to come back soon. read more

Excellent food, great service, cozy atmosphere! The kids were treated so nicely, too.

Best food and the friendliest waitresses any where. They have the best breakfast bare none. I would recommend to anybody looking for great food and the right price stop and meet these great people. I know this a short review but if you stop by, I guarantee you will be writing the next great review and telling your friends. read more

We were in from Idaho with grandkids. Good food good service kid friendly. Great old 50s atmosphere.

Food is typical diner fare. Very friendly staff and good service. I'll be back, but it's not in my favorites list.

What a great find! Real classic stainless steel diner with vintage music. I had two perfectly cooked huge pork chops with two sides. My husband had the "set-the-standard-meatloaf" and two sides. Everything thing was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Very clean and neat. It's clear these people really love what they do. read more

Nice quaint diner. Loved the atmosphere and ambiance. The prices are very reasonable. The food is OK. Good basics.

We found this gem of a restaurant by accident. The atmosphere and staff are only surpassed by the scrumptious food. Do not let this one pass you by. read more

Excellent breakfast was had by all three of us when we decided to stop off the PA Turnpike and eat a good meal. Classic small 1950's diner and the music to go with it! Great customer service too. We had the cheese omelet, grits, French toast, home fries, bacon and toast. Apple butter on the tables too. Everything was delicious! Worth going the extra 4 minutes off the highway. read more
