We stopped here on a whim on the way home from the airport, and I'm so glad we did. We had a spinach roll and calzone, both huge and delicious, and our server was very attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

My teenagers love this diner. Good basic food cooked well. We like their Reubens and kids like the burgers.

What an awesome little hometown joint! The Oakdale diner is certainly full of surprises! Go in, take a seat, and order what you want. From breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, to American cuisine, to Chinese cuisine for lunch. They have everything, including some delicious pastries when you walk in. I've been to the diner for lunch before, and today I decided to try their breakfast. I know breakfast isn't really anything to rave about. But I did have a good meat lovers omelette and rye toast. Full of flavor and was a nice fill to start the day. You can order take out and they do offer catering services. They recently just launched an app so you can redeem rewards like a free breakfast and appetizers. I am happy to see this little mom and pop try new things! Oh, and the waitresses are always fun and friendly! read more

My husband and I go there for date night a lot. It's really great and we are locals.. and we always get something different to try every time we go there read more

It was always a running gag between us and the rest of our friends when we drove by to see that their special for the day was "club sandwich" or something equally as generic. My girlfriend and I finally walked into the establishment one summer day to bite the bullet and try the infamous diner. The food wasn't BAD but it was just average. The thing that really got me was how expensive it somehow all was. The other troubling thing was the fact that our waitress looked like she was 13 and had literally at least 7 piercings around her face. I really can only fault the price but the whole place was just weird. Everyone in the diner felt like an extra from Men in Black where you try and guess if they're an alien in disguise. It's kind of intriguing in its simplicity and ambiguity but once you get in there you realize it isn't doing it on purpose. It's just horribly mismanaged. read more

The Oakdale Diner has reopened under new management as of 4/2011. I found the food and service (wonderful baked goods as well) to be great, the prices comparable to pancake houses, and the atmosphere a retro trip to the '50's-very fun! read more

Small town diner feel with great meals. I've been here several times for both breakfast and lunch and have never been disappointed.

The cole slaw was just iceberg lettuce with coleslaw sauce. Cole slaw is supposed to be cabbage not lettuce. But the customer service was great read more

The Oakdale Diner is a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Breakfast is a given, they do a great job, portions are huge and everything is amazing. Be sure to check out the pastry case first because some of their stuff will melt your brain. SO YUMMY! I am picky about my eggs over medium and they make them so well every time. The Diner is a favorite spot for Chinese food. Yes, they have a seasonal Chinese Food menu and it is better than every little take out place for miles around. Why the Diner has such good Chinese food, I do not know. We also go to the diner for Italian food, my wife especially loves the meatless stuffed shells. Huge portions, great prices, and their sauce is just perfect. Again, why a diner has such great Italian food I don't know, but when I want Chicken Parm I go to the Oakdale Diner instead of a pure Italian restaurant. read more

Ordered on Slice app. A meatball hoagie and Buffalo fries. Got to the location for pickup and waiting until they said it was ready to go in. Went in to pick it up since they said it was ready, it's been 30 minutes and they keep telling me 5 more minutes. The manager only cares for patrons that come in to sit down so they get their food before you. read more

Awesome pizza !!!! Blows away every pizza shop in the area . They also serve Chinese food that is decent with huge portions and reasonably priced . I've had breakfast here also and I would say it is average at best but reasonably priced & decent portions read more

Ok, this place would have gotten 4 stars had the place been a little nicer, but, hey, it's a diner. Very happy with food, large portions, enjoyed the chili. If you like no-frills good diner food, you'll like this place. Will definitely be back. read more

This place used to be fantastic. A real gem for Oakdale and it's residents. We live close by and used to love going here weekly instead of the hustle and bustle of going to Robinson. However something happened in the past 6-months to a year and it's terrible now. The food quality changes each time we are there. They are always running out of simplr stuff like creamer for your coffee. Except for a few great waitresses, Olivia and Brenda everyone else just runs around ignoring their tables so they can go out back and smoke. The last straw was when I had to request a new coffee because the inside of my coffee cup had what looked like chewed up food inside the mug stuck to the side. Stay away until some real changes happen. read more

This is an awesome place to eat! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is great! Good home style cooking in a small restaurant that will take you back in time. If you're in the area, try this place. read more

Food was good if it was hot!! Waitress was worst I have ever had. Told us we could not order lunch then let the table behind us order lunch. After that she left our food sitting on the serving area for 6 minutes. Never came back to ask for more drinks or anything. Every time I go here the service continues to get worse and worse. Along with raw or uncooked home fries in the morning. Not impressed. Would for sure go to Gab N Eat or Casciolas. read more

Very old timey local place in downtown Oakdale. Very ample portions. And easy take home. Wait staff busy and efficient. Was busy steadily yesterday. Pricing fine. Only a couple of places in Oakdale to eat. We chose this because of its location. read more

Used to love this place then the past year or two they've been very hit or miss with the food. Went in to pick up food today and walked back out because of the state of the place. Only one employee was wearing a mask on their face and it was a face shield. Another employee had a mask on her chin and the others that were preparing the food didn't have one on at all. Customers came in ahead of me with no mask to order food to go. Very disappointing and definitely won't be back for a long time. I understand it's difficult to work and wear a mask but when you're handling food you definitely should wear one and wear it properly. Unsafe and irresponsible. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to. It's a diner with gourmet food. I had salmon with apple salsa and my brother had eggplant parmigiana with Granny Smith apples. Absolutely delicious and inexpensive!! Another diner got a Stromboli that was thick and the size of a loaf of bread. We will definitely return to this surprising restaurant!! read more

Went here on a Tuesday night at 7. Not busy. Always walk past the desserts as soon as you go in. They are look so delicious but didn't get anything. Stuck with a spinach and feta pizza. The best part of the meal. Their traditional pizza is great with lots of cheese and fluffy crust. Tried a veggie wedgie as well. It was HUGE. Although not sure how I feel about the cold veggies on it. Filled with mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, lettuce tomatoes. Hardly any cheese. I'd probably try one of the other choices next time. Also got the french fries which were super crispy, great dipped in gravy. Overall, get the pizza. Won't disappoint. read more

Simply put I love this place. Need more? Well then: The Diner in Oakdale is by far one of my favorite places to grab a bite. The small local diner is welcoming the moment you step in the door, the only challenge is finding a table since it is self-seating. The staff are all friendly and the menu has plenty to satisfy a variety of preferences. From breakfast to dinner if you are hungry the Diner will not disappoint. read more

It's a shame the service is running your business. The food is good but this is the second time everyone at my table finished their food before my food was brought out! They never offered to at least cover my meal. Once they completely forgot we were even there! Terrible, terrible service. You need to hire more help and a new manager! read more

Absolutely the worst tasting prime rib I ever had. Don't waste your time going there on Saturday's for prime rib night. Instead try Roland's in Washington, PA on Saturday's (must reserve in advance cause they sell out). On the other hand, the Oreo Cookie pie was fantastic! A prefect place to go if you have a craving for a dessert. Still need to try this place for breakfast. Haven't written them off yet. read more

One of the best places I've had the pleasure of dining at. The food has been great and the help have been pleasant. Have eaten there a few times now and have not been disappointed. read more

I would like to start by saying that this place is a 2.5. I was always a little skeptical of this place since they are called "The Diner" and also have Chinese food. (I love Chinese food, but would prefer it from a Chinese restaurant.) My husband and I came here for breakfast last Sunday and it looked like a great place with home-style cooking. There were no issues with parking and we did not have to wait to be seated. The inside also had that "diner feel" and I regretted not coming here sooner. Immediately upon being seated, I started to question my regrets. There was a giant dying moth on our sticky table and I understand that it could happen anywhere- it just had me feeling a bit uneasy. There was a very small selection of breakfast choices; yet, 1/3 of the entire menu was Chinese food. The prices of breakfast options were average and we did have a coupon, which was excepted without an issue. My husband and I got the "Diner Two's" meal, which was two pancakes or french toast, two pieces of meat, and two eggs. Ultimately, everything was just OK. Not bad, but really nothing special. The eggs could have used some salt and pepper, the sausage could have been cooked a little more and my husband was unhappy because his french toast did not include cinnamon and powdered sugar as it said on the menu. To give the place some credit, the service and bacon were good. read more

The Diner - Diner Two's meal - Pizza Near Me - Oakdale, Pennsylvania

Pleasantly surprised by the food. We got an Italian hoagie, fries, and fried mushrooms. All the food was really good, although the fries were nothing special. The hoagie was perfect. Toasted just enough to melt the cheese, but the bread was still soft. Service could have been a little quicker at the beginning, but once we were greeted, no complaints. They also bake on-site. 6 donuts to go. They're fluffy and delicious, messy, but not too sweet. A total win. read more

Good home cooking! Robust menu with plenty of options for everyone for breakfast lunch and dinner. The fried chicken dinner is amazing and worth trying. Good friendly service as well. Did I mention the Mac and cheese is delicious? read more

Great food at great prices! Our "go to" choice for a casual family meal.

I visited the diner Oct 19 , with my 2 teenage sons for dinner. The restaurant was very busy, but honestly ran like a well oiled machine. Everyone was extremely polite, and from the waitresses, the cooks , and management staff, very professional. Our meals, came in a timely manner, and our drinks were filled, regularly. The food was delicious, and comments of DAD I'M TOO FULL FOR DESSERT! !!, coming from my eating machine teenage boys, I knew my choice of restaurants, was a wise one. I will continue to visit the diner, as always, and hope that " hometown feel diner "will never change. .... read more

The food was good. Service was ok. Good for those nearby but nothing special to set this diner apart from others.

I've been here twice and I was really intrigued that they served pizza/hoagies as well as Chinese. The Chinese was surprisingly good, it was really fresh and they have a Chinese chef. It's great because my husband doesn't like Chinese food so we can go here . And he can get a calzone and I can have Chinese. The staff is also really friendly and the place is very clean. We'll go again! read more

Every time we are back visiting family my hubby, my sister, and I go out to The Diner with our grandfather. This is probably my husband's favorite part of the trip - he always breaks out into a huge smile thinking about the massive omelet stuffed with veggies that he is going to eat. I am a huge fan of their pepperoni rolls. At the last visit I got a breakfast sandwich, which hit the spot and was the perfect amount of food for me. Service has always been very friendly. read more

The Diner was great. I went on a Sunday morning with my wife and toddler. Our server was patient and the food was solid diner breakfast food, perfect. We'll be back. read more

Have frequented The Diner many times and loved it in the past, driving quite a distance. Stopped there 4PM, Sunday 4/15/18 and was quite disappointed! The entire place was empty and the two servers, one young lady, and one older lady let us sit there unapproached for almost 10 minutes. The older lady with short dyed brown hair was extremely loud and obnoxious, talking a mile a minute. Eventually we ordered food which was average, but also ordered an expensive supreme pizza to take home. We had to ask the waitress for the pizza, and also ordered two cupcakes to go, which they had NO box to fit them! This made this quite an expensive lunch, only to find that evening, that the box contained a plain cheese pizza, obviously intended for someone else. I called the next afternoon and asked to speak with a manager about our displeasure, and was told none was there. When asked when there would be, I was told they "had no idea" and they hung up! Not the place or the treatment we have received in past visits, but this experience will make us NEVER return. This small place that already went out of business once and sat empty, best wake up and get the fact that there are many BETTER choices, and a customer feel valued, goes a long way! read more

My husband and I happened upon this small town diner on the way to our nephew's championship football game at South Fayette High School. We both had the "Middle of the Road" breakfast, with our own slight variation. Everything was excellent. The breakfast potatoes were the best I've ever had, no seasoning or condiments needed. The service was fast and efficient. I hope I have the opportunity to visit for breakfast again! It's a bit of a journey from home, but well worth it. read more

I've had breakfast and dinner here at separate times of course. Each time the food has been very good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the fact it is was really cold inside the restaurant at both meals. I take everything into consideration when reviewing and you have to have heat in the winter months. I may have to wait to go back in the spring for another meal. But I will go back. The staff was friendly and accommodating. read more

Good old down home diner. Great food, low priced and a plate full. Only been there for breakfast and wish I could go back everyday for the rest of my life. Sausage gravy biscuits are to die for. Wait staff was very friendly along with the chef. It's definitely a locals joint but we're new to town and the waitress made us feel very welcome. The diner was clean, booths were comfortable and they also have an old bar to sit at. This place is truly a hidden gem! read more

Food is always good, service excellent as well. Glad they opened the ice cream on the side porch however it's not very inviting, more like a storage area. We stopped a week or so ago and the ice cream was excellent, very creamy and perfect consistency. My daughter was glad they changed their 'recipe' as she only agreed to go because other ice cream shops in the area were closed. Well apparently they went back to the old ice milk she remembered tonight ... Chocolate was too dark and the vanilla was off white and fast to melt. Hopefully they go back to the better flavor or we will be going a few miles further for ice cream in the future. read more
