Nestled in what seems like an unassuming spot, this diner, established on May 1st, 2025, immediately piqued my interest after a quick glance at its Google reviews. Seeking a hearty, classic American breakfast, we decided to give it a try. The menu is efficiently laid out, and the pricing is surprisingly nostalgic. I was particularly drawn to the remarkably affordable breakfast option: two scrambled eggs with cheese and two slices of uncut toast for a mere three dollars ! Opting for this incredible deal, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. While the eggs could have been fluffier, they possessed a delightful grilled texture that I appreciated. However, the true star of the plate was the toast. The perfect grill marks and the seamless spread of melted butter elevated it to an unexpected highlight of the meal. My OG chose the Mushroom Omelette, which also impressed with its perfectly cooked eggs, fresh mushrooms, and well-prepared home fries. The only minor drawback was the lack of seasoning on the home fries; a pre-emptive seasoning could enhance the overall flavor profile. Despite a slightly longer wait time of 15 to 20 minutes, understandable given the small number of orders and the pursuit of perfection, the diner's dedication to customer service and quality cuisine is evident. The waitresses were attentive and efficient, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The interior decor, however, could benefit from some refinement. The current trinkets and decorations, while perhaps intended to be charming, come off as somewhat childish and unappetizing. With a few minor renovations and a more cohesive aesthetic, this diner has the potential to become a true culinary destination. For now, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic, classic American breakfast at an...
Read moreI came here with my family several weeks ago and it's been on my mind to rate this location because we were quite disappointed. We were only in town for the weekend and had many things planned to do in the area, so we were looking to eat breakfast and then get on our way. When we walked in no one greeted us, and we ended up sitting down at a table, and proceeded to sit there for at least 45 minutes before anyone came over and took our order. They seemed like they were somewhat short-staffed, but there were at least 2 waitresses (including the owner) taking orders from those around us & serving them, and we were outrightly ignored. Not even a "we'll be right with you" or "sorry." People who arrived after us (possibly locals) were served before we were. It was just sad that we sat in this diner for a good portion of our morning when we had so many things we wanted to do with our day - we really should...
Read moreDecided to give this place a try instead of going to Altoona like I usually would. Came with my parents and we were all thoroughly impressed!
Food was fantastic. My omelette was loaded, the gravy was amazing, dad’s roast beef was awesome as was the gravy, and my mom’s BLT had lots of crispy bacon and was very delicious across the board.
Prices were also a nice surprise, I easily would have paid another 10 or so on the total cost for the three of us.
Being in Pittsburgh the last 8 years, this was a heart warming experience. I’d recommend Jamie’s Diner to anyone, and I hope on future Penn State home games that the travelers and commuters stop here! I...
