Great service and fantastic breakfast! The eggs were piping hot when served and the homemade blueberry muffins were delicious. The portions were large and the prices were low. I think we found a great spot at Hazel’s.

This is the best breakfast in town, and it has been for decades. The food is delicious, with generous portions and fair pricing. The staff is friendly and efficient. Whether stopping in for a quick bite or staying longer to visit with loved ones, locals know this is the spot to go

Always friendly! Always fresh! Great pricing! Their Apple dumplings are the best I’ve ever had!

Paid $36 for 3 breakfasts which is about the same as everywhere else, I remember 15 years ago when it was $5-$6 for one breakfast, good times. They used to always be cheaper than everywhere else and now their the same I’d say. But service has always been good, it’s still nostalgic. I see they’ve upgraded their dishes from the brown color.

First time visiting, came for breakfast on a Wednesday. They weren’t too busy, so we sat down right away. My first impression is that it’s stinky, like smoke and old building.
They offer a nice variety of breakfast options. We ordered bagel sandwiches and home fries. The food was good but nothing I would go out of my way for.
Our server was pleasant, but did not explain to us that we were supposed to bring the check up front to pay. We had to ask another sever about it.

This is my absolute favorite place to eat. They have top-notch service and quality. The pricing is good and the portions are perfect. I am a chef certified trained with a degree in culinary arts. High praise, fellas! Keep up the good work! Everybody support this place. It’s amazing

New Castle is a mecca for gorgeous architecture and rich history, but we do live in the land of chain-smoking and fast food spots, with ambiance being the equivalent to the waiting room while getting an oil change, when it comes to restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
It is what it is, and it’s still home.
That being said… I feel like the 1 star reviews for Hazel’s are maybe way too harsh and not factoring in the inevitable stated above, but rather just a bunch of obnoxious complainers with unrealistic expectations.
The neighborhood does the best it can with what it’s got. Hazel’s does that and quite sufficiently, in my opinion, and today I had a perfectly fine breakfast with great service. Even the coffee was nice.
I’m a fairly recent transplant who has lived in over a dozen cities across the states . I’m very health conscious, I’m a home/hobby chef, I had to give up the ol’ gluten thanks to getting old & having an uncooperative body- and now I live in New Castle, PA. Do I miss easy, nearby access to 24 hr diners, restaurants with GF & organic options, salad spots, health food stores, a wider variety of ethnic restaurants, and expertly drawn espresso drinks in cozy cafes with sofas and books? YEP. All the time.
But- life goes on, and I love sitting down on a weekday morning to a good diner style breakfast and a good book. I also love hole in the wall, mom & pop type spots. So I tried Hazel’s and Hazel’s IS that nice little hole in the wall for a solid breakfast!
It doesn’t “stink” like one patron claimed, and I’m very sensitive to smoke and mold. I had no issue with smelling either, so I’m glad I ignored that reviewer’s comments.
My waitress was also very nice and super attentive. Perhaps “rude” waitstaff is often a reflection of rude patrons? Just food for thought, folks. ♀️ (They’re people just like anyone else, not servants obligated to absorb other people’s bad moods like emotional punching bags.)
If you can’t appreciate the blue collar, Steel Belt charm of a no frills, timeworn local restaurant… don’t go to Hazel’s…or to New Castle, lol. Just go be a snob somewhere else. But if you want to be amongst real people and soak up the experience of a working class neighborhood breaking bread together- come try it out!
As for the food… give an old girl some grace, will ya? It won’t kill you, I promise. It may take a meal or two to dial in how you want it cooked but it’ll get there. “Extra-EXTRA crispy” might just be “slightly crispy” to them, and so you’ll get to experiment and learn the right code for how you actually like your food depending on who’s in the kitchen- and that’s the beauty of a local spot. It’s not hard to learn how to customize your preferences and it’s not the end of the world to eat a meal or two you didn’t love on an off day during that learning curve- it’s still a meal…which means you’re fortunate enough to be fed and far luckier than way too many souls out there, so get over yourselves and find a way to be grateful even when there was room for some culinary improvement.
And maybe don’t expect Michelin star gormet food from a local diner, lol. ♀️
A little trial and error never killed anyone- and a little grace & patience is always a way to make everyone’s day brighter- even your own. Maybe strike up a convo with a nearby table? Or learn the name of your waitress/waiter and enjoy knowing it?
Embrace the humanity of the imperfect world we live in and just surf those little bumps in the road with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure. You might be surprised by what it brings you.
It could be a really wonderful meal and time shared with good people at Hazel’s! ✨️

I dunno, this place came highly recommended. I’m pretty confused because the food was not good at all. All the eggs were burnt and brown. They don’t taste good so no one ate those. The one omelet had artifical cheese in it, litterally the single packet type. The pancakes are okay but you can tell that it’s box mix. We had hoped to get a nice breakfast for the family but everyone barely ate. I keep seeing other reviews and pictures. Our breakfast didn’t look anywhere near that which is sad. Pretty much a waste for the money. Don’t think we’ll try again

Home style breakfast. Loud, crowded, surprisingly busy and unfriendly staff. Food is decent. They do accept credit cards ($5.00 min), have online takeout and offer military discount. Limited street parking
