Stopped in for a quick meal because it looked like a nice place. Waitress was friendly, and we were seated promptly. When our food arrived, I was surprised because even though it said my grilled chicken salad came with fries, I wasn’t expecting them to be on top of the salad! The portions were very large, and we were not even able to finish it all! Nice quiet friendly place to eat.

On a trip to Lake Erie, we were looking for a place that served breakfast all day to enjoy an unrushed morning. Butch’s Diner in North East, PA seemed to fit the bill and had decent reviews. I really wanted to like the place. The kindest thing I can say is that it seems like a local favorite a bit beyond its best days. The staff did not seem like a happy bunch. One server was friendly and energetic, but not ours. I was super impressed with the size of the coffee mugs filled with piping hot coffee until I tasted it, it tasted like the coffee was made with dirty dishwater, no amount of sugar and cream, which we waited forever to receive, helped. I ordered the standard diner breakfast of bacon, eggs & home fries. Eggs were cooked as ordered, bacon was see through thin, but at least crispy. Home fries were canned cubed potatoes that barely touched the grill… slimy and blah. Hubby enjoyed his meal a bit more than me after he got the extra egg they tried to cheat on. Fun decor, but needs some cleaning. It was a popular spot but I can’t recommend it.

We arrived at 11:30 AM and already knew we wanted breakfast but did not have an opportunity to speak before the “spot on server” read us the lunch specials. I wanted to say whoah save your voice -we just want breakfast. She brought our coffee immediately, ordered our breakfast and we were paying our bill by 1230 pm. She was extremely efficient, only more friendly with the regulars. The omelets were not the most flavorful and had a taste that reminded us like when an egg tastes old / skillet flavor. Very clean place and restrooms. Cool vintage atmosphere

I don’t know how they are doing it but the portions are still big even after inflation !!! Also I noticed I seen nothing about the french toast (glaze). People you gotta try it if you like french toast and then a glaze donut to go with it in one bite it’s a delicious sugar treat for sure. Good people good food and the kicker at the end is it is also CHEAP.

Enjoyed a great breakfast here. Steak and eggs. Very reasonably priced for the portion. They have good size mugs for their coffee cups, on the larger side. The waitresses were all very friendly and efficient.

Cute diner. Love the vinyls on the wall as decor. Prices were a little higher than I anticipated for a diner tho plus a few unexpected higher up charges than I’d prefer too. $6.25 for BLT sandwich includes chips but a $3.75 French fry upcharge which is very high for most places ($2 standard). Also, server gave our choice of breads from white, wheat, Texas to sourdough,… I picked sourdough and she didn’t let me know there’s a .50 cent upcharge for sourdough bread. It’s not about the money, but as a server myself you should always let a customer know of any upcharge. Only one tomato on BLT when should be two. Overall it tasted good and good portion of fries and slaw. Just a few things like the upcharges I don’t like. Still gave 4 stars cause I like to support local restaurants and especially pieces of local history.

We came by on the recommendation of the girl from the winery. Husband had the Smith dog with Greek sauce and cheese and onions and I had breakfast, and we tried the fried banana peppers. It was all delicious, and we’re so glad we came. Servers were very attentive and sweet, nice.

We recently discovered Butchs Diner while on a trip thru wine country. This is a nice low key diner. We stopped for breakfast and was very pleased with our food, and the prices. The service was also excellent.

A fine establishment worth seeking out. I found this Diner online great reviews and well worth it. The food was top notch and I’m extremely glad we stopped. The service was great. I tried to stop on my way back from Toronto but it was a Monday and they were closed. A great American Diner experience

I judge a breakfast based on their home fries. Let me tell you they don’t got it. Home fries were watery and a little too raw on more than one occasion. Eggs had no love. Bland is all I can say. I would give this a pass.
