Now THIS is a Scranton area diner (Moosic, specifically) that I really loved!!!! Very much a pleasure to have breakfast here. Not the prettiest location, across from a car dealership, but please don't hold that against them. It was quiet inside on an early weekend morning, not quite bustling, but it did pick up as we were leaving. The food and service are what a local diner should be about. We were seated quickly and the food came out hot and fast with a simple but delicious home made flair. We enjoyed a Vegetable lovers omelette and a simple side of potato pancakes and of course, some fresh coffee. The menu had a wide selection of options that would make the fussiest eater happy. Will gladly return when I am back in the Moosic area. read more

The service was terrible. We waited 20 minutes before anyone came to our table. The diner was not busy at this time. Our waitress brought an appetizer and no plates. The food was terrible and we then waited another 15 minutes or more to get the check. The beef stew had maybe 1 piece of beef. A customer with take out brought his takeout back and wanted a refund. Another table was overheard complaining about service also and the food not being what it used to be. Very disappointing read more

Had the Veggie panini with a side of onion rings, and my wife had the Veggie Pesto panini. Both were perfect. My wife has had their liver and onions, and I usually go for the pot roast when we're in town. Terry's is our "must visit" any time we go back "home" to Scranton! By the way, if you love Notre Dame, this is a MUST SEE. Great memorabilia, articles, clippings. read more

This is my first time at Terry's and our breakfast was really good! All the food for the price, can't beat it. We'll definitely be coming back for lunch or dinner, it's a big menu! read more

We were out for an adventure and when we got hungry we happened upon this wonderfully unique piece of nostalgia. It wasn't just the excellent jukebox, the pictures of cars from the '50s and other memorabilia, though that was all delightful. The food was reasonably priced and plentiful and everything was served with two hand-sliced pieces of home made bread - including the best Irish soda bread I ever tasted, but we were further also appreciative of the server we drew. She could not have been better. Unobtrusive yet she never missed a beat. Great place. read more

I grew up in the diner capital of the world. I have high standards. I ended up at Terry's on a Sunday morning, pretty early, for breakfast. I immediately loved the old school diner feel and the vibe that the place has been around forever. We were seated in a booth in the back dining room and immediately got coffee, which was pretty good. I had a classic two egg breakfast with ham and extra crispy hash browns, and white toast. My eggs were scrambled medium. It was all exactly as expected. Our server was super friendly. She came around often with coffee reheats and water refills. read more

A very friendly experience at this 1950's diner in Moosic, PA. Food was very good, serving sizes were generous, and the staff was very friendly. read more

I truly don't know how to rate this place. I come here often. However, the menu is too big for the cooks to actually divulge their skills into your order. I recently had a burger from here and it was Dry, tasteless and about 1/5 of the diameter that it should have been. I choked it down only because I didn't want my spouse to complain. Overall, for something quick I would say, sure stop here. But for a quality dinner (after many times of coming here) I would unfortunately have to say go somewhere else. read more

Excellent first the staff is awesome and we felt very welcomed we stopped there before going to the movies what a great place we ate in the back dining area. Our waitress was great we got the Italian hero the reuben hero. The chicken Creole wrap and the chicken Parm hero we were very happy with everything the portions are great and the food is excellent read more

Cannot pass up on a good old classic stainless steel dinner. Our server, Helene, was a gem. She was pleasant and attentive to these two visitors from the NJ/NY area. The menu was quite big and took a while to make a decision. My wife went with the classic beer battered cod with pickled beets, mashed potatoes and a wedding soup. I had pot roast, which was super tender with pickled beets (I actually like these things), fries (a big, crisp portion too), and vegetable soup. Complimentary Irish soda bread slices and ice tea made it a great meal. Definitely worth the stop, if you are near Moosic PA. read more

Really good diner. Lots of choices and quick service. You can tell they've been doing this for a while. Really have there act together. If you like diners, you'll love this place. read more

Wow. I actually worked here as a young teen. The original owners would likely roll over in their graves if they saw how things have gone downhill. Of particular concern, a group of us ladies went for lunch after a day out. We were met by a large, very senior, very grumpy woman. She directed us to a booth, grumpily saying - "by the window!!" Then she brought over menus and napkins and silverware that was wrapped in plastic. She LITERALLY threw it at the table. I am guessing she is so immobile that it is hard for her to bend, but she had to be the absolute most unpleasant restaurant employee I have come across. She also checked us out, and once again, was just miserable and not very efficient, having made mistakes on two of our checks. All of our lunch dishes were acceptable, but boy, with "hostessing' like this, she sure made people feel about as unwelcome as possible. read more

I am giving 1 star only for the hours posted. We didn't get to eat here tonight. All signs say that they are open from 8am to 8pm. We got there this evening looking for some great comfort food only to find a hand written note (under the posted hours of 8 to 8) on the door that the kitchen closes at 7:30pm. We were there at 7:20 and were told we would not be served. If your kitchen closes at 7:30 and you are a restaurant then you are closed at 7:30!!!! Very disappointed!!! read more

Hey, it's a diner! The front is classic railroad car design, with a couple of cute rooms added on. I went there during Peach Festival, so there was an extra breakfast rush between the locals and festival attendees. They were busy but kept up with the crowd. Prices are reasonable, and the freshly ground coffee is good. The first morning They gave me extra-crispy bacon. The second time I went the bacon was just exactly perfect. If you're choosing between a diner and Waffle House, choose Terry's. read more

Terry’s Diner - You don't see too many of these around. - Diners Near Me - Moosic, Pennsylvania

Ordered takeout on a rainy day through Grubhub. Went for the french toast and plain omlette. Both were reasonably priced and I liked reading through some great reviews. Food arrived cold but it could have been Grubhub's fault as well. Taste-wise, it was good except with no salt. I wish they keep that in mind the next time. read more

I love this place, Everytime my boyfriend comes in we come here many times during his visits. Breakfast is amazing and is served all day along with some good coffee, which is never ever half empty. The Spanish omelette is especially delicious. Lunch and dinner is good too, many items to choose from as well. Service is always so friendly and welcoming, definitely one of my favorite places to eat at. Has it's own charm that a lot of other American diners struggle to achieve sometimes. Highly recommend! read more

There are not quite a lot of establishments in today's world which have rich history and been around for a while serving customers, Terry's diner does fall into those one of a kind places because of it's rich history. It's an authentic 1950's diner which serves authentic diner food in great ambiance(with stainless steel, terrazzo floor, and juke box). The space at Terry's is divided into 3 sections mainly the counter top seating , casual dining section, and another elegant dining section mainly for parties and banquets. In the true tradition of diners, the menu is very extensive listing over 200 items - from breakfast (served anytime) to sandwiches, wraps, subs, salads, and full course dinners. We came here twice during our recent stay in the area. We tried a couple of things like house special soup, grilled chesse, chocolate chip pancakes & fish entree. The food is good but not awesome though the service is really good. read more

Don't go there. Service was bad. Food was bad. It took over a an hour to be served all our food. We waited for the main course 20 minutes between the soup and bread course until the main dish was served. the bread was stale. And the piggies were cold and tasteless. The staff was more interested in getting orders out than waiting customers. Not even a Hello when you entered nor any apology why the food was so late. Don't go there last time I was there was over a year and I thought it would change but it hasn't good luck go somewhere else. read more

we walked in about 2 minutes after they opened on Sunday morning. The staff was friendly, all social distance guidelines/restrictions were posted and followed. it is a real classic dinng car! the story on menu cover was engaging and everything was delicious. By the time we left (maybe 45mins later?) the place was full with reservations being made. I cant wait to go back. Terri read more

The food is good. Standard diner fair. Service was adequate. I would try them again in the future.

Food was ok. Stopped after nightshift to try their breakfast out this the second time around. Bunch of people walking in though the handicap entrance at 7:50 but they don't open until 8. So I walked to the front entrance to get in and it was locked and the staff just looked at me like an idiot while they let the old timer regulars in the side. If you aren't a regular they don't care about your business. read more

Terry's might not be fancy, but the food is tasty, the service is friendly and attentive, the menu is large, and breakfast is served all day. Bob had the hot hamburger sandwich, fries, and applesauce. I wasn't feeling my best so I kept to just a BEC panini. Bob's sandwich was massive and was only outsized by the steak fries, which easily would have been enough for 3 people. My panini was tasty and uncomplicated, and is sitting well on my queasy stomach. If you're looking for diner classics with some updated options, you won't go wrong here. There were at least three customers there who gave the impression that they were there at least several times a week. While the decor and tables and booths were old, they were relatively well maintained and more importantly they were very clean. Neither of us visited the bathroom so I can't speak for that. read more

Diners come a dime a dozen but this one is packed full for a reason. Upon entering the dinner I was immediately greeted with a wonderful small-town vibe. Everyone inside the diner seemed to know each other and the atmosphere was lively. My wife and I both had breakfast and coffee. Neither one of us had any complaints and recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Stopped in on 5/18/22 for lunch because being an old-style diner with stainless steel cladding on the outside made it look interesting in passing, and the hope was there that a good old fashioned value and quality meal would be had. Well, the old adage about not judging a book by its cover holds true. The diner is closely surrounded by ramshackle motel like structures, half of which are boarded up. The food was mediocre at best, and the description of the meals were deceiving. Example: One lunch special was a platter of 2 Texas Weiners with fries. I had to order that. Who can pass up Texas Weiners? What I received were two tiny hot dogs (literally the size of Vienna sausages) on half size buns with chili, onions, and mustard (all pretty bland). The steak fries were soggy with oil and undercooked. The expectation clearly was to get full size hot dogs, but alas, rip-off was the name of the game here. Pass it up. Don't fall for their nonsense. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Amazing service very nice staff place very unique and fast service I will be going again

As long as you are OK with indoor smoking at diners... and if you REALLY LIKE diners, Terry's is a great place--especially late at night in this area! If you don't like cigarette smoke, you probably shouldn't go to diners anyway, but if you like great diner food, grab a booth and get ready to eat. I am not from the area and have only been once, so there may be some who disagree with my opinion that Terry's is fantastic, the services is excellent, the prices can't be beat and they're open late! What more can anyone ask for? read more

Came here on a Friday night around 10 pm craving a patty melt. A sign on the door read that they close at 11:00 p.m. but stop serving food at 10:30 p.m. I felt a little bad going in so close to closing and I was the only one in there but I was greeted by a friendly waitress. And the food was spot on! read more

I'm a diner girl. I'd take a diner over a chain processed food restaurant any day. Terry's Diner doesn't disappoint. It's just real people making real food. It's not fancy or whatnot. It's food. And one place I'll let my toddler take a bit of my food bc it's real food. There have been times when the food wasn't totally great but everyone has an off day. read more

Very friendly staff. Plentiful servings of well prepared food. Large menu, something for every taste. We only had breakfast, but I have no reason to doubt it is just as good. read more

Terrible service and the waitresses were practically brain dead and rude. Food was okay. Would not recommend

Stopped in one morning for breakfast before a funeral. It had all of the charm of a typical New Jersey diner. Excellent food, excellent prices, fast service. Will return read more

Terry's has some of the quickest service around this area and also largest menu. I've never been disappointed going here. Since we're local we go at least once or twice a week. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner is great. The pot roast is my absolute favorite. Open faced turkey sandwich dinners are good. Paninis are good. Give this place a try... don't understand why they don't have a higher rating. read more

The folks at Terry's are the kindest and most helpful I've ever met. We were in Moosic for the first time and there was no delivery where we were. I went to Terry's and they offered me the take out menu and our diner was prompt and wonderful. I highly recommend them to any traveler. read more

Classic American diner food and really does not disappoint. Food is good, fairly priced and overall service is always good.

Wonderful diner for breakfast. Friendly staff, great food, never too busy. Their potato pancakes are phenomenal.

If you're a gambler, try it. Had breakfast here several times. It's truly hit or miss, either classic and pretty damn tasty diner fare, or not edible. Consistency with kitchen staff would go a long way and I would definitely stop in more often. I got tired of the 50/50. Unless you like it weak, skip the coffee. read more

Classic PA diner...simple but good. Food was average/good and priced decently. The Irish soda bread in the bread basket was freaking delicious. If I lived nearby I'd be in there all the time just for that bread. Our waitress was phenomenal. Probably one of the best servers we've ever had. Super attentive and so sweet with our daughters. We'll definitely eat here again when we're in the area. read more

Its a huge dinner divided in three sections. They offer more than 200 dishes including breakfast brunch nd dinner items. I tried couple of things including house special soup,grilled cheese sandwich, chocolate chip pan cake. I liked grilled cheese, that was crisp and fresh. Pan cakes were ok ok The food is good but its not awesome. read more

Excellent example of a hole-in-the-wall diner. Great breakfasts though not all that flexible on health options - for example sugar free syrup for pancakes, they do have a few gluten free options though. read more
