    House made into restaurant. Right on the Susquehanna River, open 0630-1500 (3pm), seven days a week. Sunday's are their busiest. Home cooked food, friendly service. If you sit at the "bar" you get to be part of the kitchen drama/action. These ladies are running crazy, keeping their customers happy & celebrating their 9 year business anniversary.

    Got off the highway at Exit 65 thinking that McDonalds was the only option that early in the day.

    Loved the old school vibe of the diner itself. Old unrestored diner that was made in Paterson NJ…read more Walk in and it was busy!! Counter in front of you with grill on the other side of it and booths against the front windows. Outside seating also. Waitress was excellent. Coffee cam quick and was good. Normal diner breakfast meaning not foofy. Normal eggs potatoes pancakes etc. However they make a great omelet called the Zito........ Omelet w corned beef hash, bacon, and American cheese inside! Never have I had CBH as an omelet filling and never combined w chopped bacon and cheese! It was incredibly good if you're a hash fan. Busy place w lots of action....... It's an d blue collar diner that time forgot that I'm glad I came across!! Waitesss was on point and nice!! Great place!!!!

    This is an old dining car that first opened in 1941 in Elmira and then was brought to Horseheads in…read more1974. Vintage sliding wooden door to enter the dining car. Either sit at the counter or in one of the booths or even at a few tables outside. A waitress brought our menus promptly and was friendly and prompt throughout. They serve breakfast and lunch until 2 p.m. We opted for breakfast. I had the cinnamon French toast and sausage. My friend had the 2 meat breakfast plate with eggs, toast, home fries, and sausage. Both were decent, and surprisingly the coffee was excellent. If you are in the area check this place out. The ambience alone is worth the visit.

    Had no idea where to stop on our 9 hour ride home from Canada. Thanks to YELP once again...we…read morestopped at "Jen's place" located in rural Nichols, NY just off the highway. The whole brunch was quite a heart warming experience. Salt of the earth people who were so very friendly and instantly love-able. Seven tables in the quaint little restaurant and two outside. All but one large table of 6 were taken. A local couple offered to have us share their table. It was such a sweet gesture. As it turned out a smaller table did open up and was quickly cleared. We sat there. The menu had breakfast and lunch options. Prices were like from the 70's. We opted for basic eggs, toast homefries, sausage and coffee. All was quickly served and coffee refilled. Jen (the owner) was present and as sweet as could be. She seemed to enjoy getting to know her customers. Other patrons were engaging and friendly as well. We were blown away how friendly everyone was. It certainly added to the charm of this little place and made our travels memorable. Not sure the people realize just how special they made us feel. This is truly a hidden gem.

    We are from Maryland and stayed in Nichols for 5 days. We came here for breakfast every morning…read more Jen is truly amazing and has great customer service. She is super friendly and gave us some amazing recommendations on places to check out around the areas. She knows almost everyone who comes into the diner. 10/10 recommend if ever in the area. We will 100% be back here in the future.
