Viewmont Diner

The breakfast here is pretty good. Scrambled eggs were more like omelets. I always have to chop them up myself. Pancakes and waffles are great. A big breakfast for about $ 8.

Burgers are very good, but everything else is average or below. Remodel is nice, and prices aren’t too expensive. Greek is not worth buying. Service is bad.

Great place for a quick breakfast. Cheese omlets are fantastic. Prices aren’t too bad. The restaurant is clean and most of the staff are nice. They are also great for late night food, menu offers a lot. I like everything I had there except for the pancakes, they have a odd taste.

Gyro is awesome. Fast service. And very cheap prices. The desserts are awesome — a must if you go.

What was good:
–The French Fries
–The Soda
What was not good:
–The food that made us all feel sick
–The dirty silverware
–The old, bitter coffee
–The waitress becoming angry when corrected nicely
–The best the waitress can do for us is tell us, «I didn’t do it!»
–Being called miserable by the waitress

Love it here foods awesome staff is friendley n recently remodled a lil yall never will leave hungry here

Good coffee. Nice friendly service. Pancakes are delicious as are the fries and turkey burger.

Made a random pit stop for some food on a road trip and happened to stumble across this place. It said gyros in neon lights and it’s been awhile since I’ve had a good gyro so I gave it a go! Now, they had 2 options for the gyro, the regular kind and the «authentic» kind. I chose the authentic because why fake gyro, right? (Still confused why there’s even an option but o well).The diner itself is simple and casual. The staff was very hospitable and seemed quick with our orders.
Gyro: After a short wait time, it was the moment of judgement; if you put a neon sign that says «gyro» on an American diner, it must be pretty frickin’ awesome! I stared at it’s mass, this was a large gyro. Taking that first bite was … truly heavenly! The pita was warm, the meat was tender and juicy, crisp lettuce and a savory sauce. This was a well crafted gyro that I haven’t had in a long time! I’m sad that I live far away from here that I won’t be able to enjoy this beauty again in a long time! Locals, you are lucky this is here and should come for this gyro!
Fries: The fries were really delicious as well! Medium thickness and a crispy/​crunchy exterior; yes, the outside is somewhere in between crispy/​crunchy.
Chicken panini: Now, after I finished my wonderful gyro, I tried a bite of my brother’s sandwich since he was already full. I really wish I had not and left with the taste of gyro. The panini was very plain in flavor and highly disappointing. With grilled peppers, it tasted only like a pepper sandwich. No taste from the cheese or chicken… The bread was nice and toasted but if I came for bread, I would go to a bakery.
3-​stars because despite a phenomenal gyro, I tasted a very disappointing sandwich and it makes me question the rest of the food on the menu. Is the gyro really the only good thing they have? Is that why they specifically made a sign for it?
I would come back again if I could. I’d also want to taste and see if the rest of the menu is good or if they just have one amazing item.

Great service. the waiter was really nice and talked about her family too. I got the monte carlo pita with three fried perogies instead of French fries. It was really good. tons of chicken and bacon in my pita and mozzarella cheese. The coffee there is really rich in flavor. We even got one coffee to go!
The diner is right off the highway so it’s a real short stop from the highway. The stuffed burgers are really good too like the stuffed feta burger. The stuffed bacon cheese burger isn’t as good though.

For what it is, it is a pretty good place to eat. Their breakfast is always delicious. We have had a few different lunch/​dinner items as well and they are always good. The chicken and cheese panini is one of my favorite sandwiches I’ve ever had. Their gyros are very good, too. We love most of the staff, as well. They recently remodeled which only made it an even more pleasant experience.

Love their Viewmount burger it will definitely fill you up! This place is a 24-​hour spot great place to eat when your hungry at 4am

Very pleasant experience. So happy the diner is open 24 hours! We went around 11pm and had breakfast food. The waitress was funny and kind. The food was great with decent serving size. Service was very quick!

Huge menu, good food, pleasant, fast service and cheap! Can’t really go wrong as far as diners go.

Came here with the entire family for a lunch. Establishment is small and not really good for larger groups. There’s a heavy Greek influence on the menu and the sauté meals all come with a complimentary glass of wine. Which is very odd for a diner setting. The kids menu is very limited. Portions are significant however there wasn’t a lot of seasoning. Many of the items on my plate share the same flavor profile. Service was fast the day I went the establishment was very noisy. They seem to have a lot of homemade desserts.

First review and I wouldn’t use it on any other place.
While it is a diner and you aren’t going to be blown away with appearance or bells and whistles, it has good food-​plain and simple.
Breakfast is always great. Make sure you get your potatoes extra crispy.
In terms of appetizers, they have about 3 – 4 different soups daily and I have not had a bad one. Chicken dumpling is my top choice. The quesadillas are good too.
For lunch/​dinner, the burgers are very good as well. They have a large amount of combinations so you should be able to find something you like. Fries are always crispy and fresh too.
The open-​faced sandwiches are good choices as well. Turkey is my preference.
Lastly, their deserts are on display in the case when you walk in. They have top notch cakes and pies. The cookies and cream cake is fantastic.

Awesomely quintessential NEPA diner with gyros and pierogies that rock my world. Can get a little crowded during certain hours. Great for late-​night food a/​k/​a drunk after Parade Day.

Usually eat here by myself because it’s good, cheap and fast. Love their breakfasts. The Breakfast feast is good for long days. Recommend

Good food and they gave me more than I could possibly eat. Very friendly staff and quick.

While visiting a friend in ScrANton Viewmont Diner was one stop on the list.
My rating says it all. I’d stay with sandwiches and if you’re a carnivore try the burgers but the rest is frankly out of a frozen box (go figure).
The potatoes with the eggs were dry and undercooked, although they did have big chunks of onion in them (love that) but the onion was unfortunately not cooked enough (hate that).
My friend said we had to go to another place (tbd …later) that I shouldn’t rule out Scranton for good home style eats.
She had a dish sandwich and although she ate it, I wouldn’t have.
We ordered a slice of cheesecake and out came a super dense gob-​sticking slice.
I think if it was meant to be like that it would (perhaps) have been ok but my take was it was 2 days past it’s shelf life. One wouldn’t have gotten sick eating it but after 2 small bites my tongue was glued to the roof of my mouth.
My friend ate the rest of it. I think she may have been hungry…
Waitress was really sweet but a bit dizzy.
next!

Darn good diner! I stop by occasionally for breakfast or late night when friends are in town and don’t feel like cooking. It is owned by a Greek family and the Greek dishes are very good. Portions are massive and satisfying. The restaurant itself is a little grimey, but for a 24 hour diner, this is to be expected.
Late night waitstaff is awesome! They know you’ve probably been at a bar all night and they don’t mind if you’re a little loud and rowdy. Very funny to and truly seem to enjoy what they’re doing when most late night servers typically seem disgusted and annoyed.
Most importantly, don’t use the pictures on the menu as a decision maker. The lighting is horrible, colors are off and everything looks inedible. Whoever they hired to take these pictures should have their camera confiscated.
