Everything here is amazing. It’s a classic diner – we lingered in our booth over breakfast for hours and the staff was as chill as could be. Fluffy, delicious biscuits and gravy. Short stack with eggs and bacon done to perfection.
This New Jersey boy knows a good diner. This is one of the best!

Ok, so I’ve driven by this place for a long time. It’s always packed, so I’m assuming it must be great. The reviews seem good, so I take the plunge and go for it.
I was seated very promptly and greeted very friendly.
Now to the food.
According to the breakfast menu the French toast is their specialty dish. The picture looked like a delicious meal. The young lady that took my order was very polite and there was no wait. Within minutes my meal was served. Looked good but NOTHING like the menu photo, so this leads me to believe they used stock photos. Ok. I’ll cut them a break, no big deal.
The syrup bottles could have been warm, but ok, the bacon not crispy but it was nice and fresh. So I take the first bite out of the French Toast and I’m not impressed, so I cut into it for another bite and to my disappointment, there was barely any egg batter whatsoever. A nice French Toast is soaked in batter then cooked. The only thing that was close to French if anything was the French bread they used. It was just a sliced bread did a quick drive-by, by the egg batter. No much flavor but butter and that was it. Talking about butter (or margarine here) there was enough for the entire row of people near me.
I brought this to their attention and the lady was extremely apologetic and offered me if I wanted to order something else. I politely declined as this was their specialty item and it was so disappointing, didn’t want to imagine the average dish quality. I offered to pay for the bacon (I ate a strip while waiting) and the beverage. She refused to charge me even after I insisted so I could include a tip as I told her I had no cash. She thanked me for stopping by, while also apologized for dish.
There is no way that the amount of people that it’s always at the establishment like bad food or maybe a local thing as there aren’t that many options.
I really appreciate their customer service skills. That alone is hard to find nowadays.

My sister and I were visiting Harper’s Ferry from Delaware, and stopped here for breakfast yesterday. When we walked in, we were very warmly greeted by the hostess, who led us to our table. The waitress we had was very kind, her friendliness and mood made the experience all the better. She was very patient and understanding when it came to us taking a long time to decide. The food came out quickly, and was very tasty — we both got Eggs Benedict, her with avocado and me with smoked salmon, both reasonably priced and very tasty. We also got the silver dollar pancakes (banana pecan), and were pleasantly surprised by the size of them. I would highly recommend this diner to anyone in-state and out-of-state! Great way to meet locals, too.
NOTE: Bring your check to the front counter, don’t wait for the waiter/waitress to collect your card, they don’t seem to do payments at the tables.
The only negative was the smell when we walked in — it smells musty and old. However, we didn’t smell it anymore after a few minutes. Not a deal breaker by far.
There are other reviews that tell you not to trust the 4-star reviews, and that this place is horrible; I say trust the 4-star reviews. Unless you’re going in expecting perfectly plated dishes with top of the line ingredients, this place is fantastic with great diner food and a large selection.

This was my first time going to Mountain View Diner. The food was regular American food. It felt like sitting at your mama’s table. The diner was clean and neat. But the best of all was the staff. They were friendly, quick, made you smile, & talked to you like you were their neighbor. We will be coming back.

TERRIBLE AND OVERPRICED extremely!!! $60 for two terrible, below average dishes, all tastes not fresh whatsoever, and we left half of it on the table because it was too nasty to finish. And we waited 20 min to just get a seat- we should’ve walked out when others said it wasn’t worth the wait.
My hubs ordered one of the highest end dishes, the NY Steak Chesapeake, it was very thin steak with a ton of fat topped with crab and cheddar cheese- an odd and disgusting combo. The crab was not fresh either. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, definitely came straight out of a freezer. Strangely, I think the frozen rectangular mozz sticks were the most solid part of the entire meal…. Same with the fries. Tasteless and bland. I ordered a plain bacon burger. The beef was bland, without seasoning, and nasty. Bacon was fatty. The worst meal we’ve ever had; super sad to experience that on vacation. The menu is also 6 pages, completely all over the place and inconsistent.

Went there today, Saturday morning with the family and had a great experience. Home cook country style. We enjoy the simple dining experience. They’re short on staff but the servers are at their best to accommodate everyone. Thanks to them and I can’t complain. The portions are more than great. Eggs are real, not boxed. Abundance of coffee and our server checking on us if we need anything. Thanks! Will go there again.

I was very pleased with the huge variety of things to eat and the very friendly service and the wonderful environment. The only thing that I wasn’t so satisfied or pleased about was the prices of the food on the menu but I was figuring out they were that price because it was right across from Hollywood Casino and race track where people probably have a lot of money to spend.

This place was great. My wife and I were looking for a good breakfast experience before our trip home on a Sunday morning and ended up here. This place was absolutely packed. It’s easy to tell that this is a favorite with the locals as well as travelers.
It may have been extremely busy, but we were seated immediately and service throughout was great. We had the usual eggs and bacon and had the house specificialty French toast, all was great.

I love this diner! I was so impressed, everyone who stops in Charles Town should make this their part of their visit. First, I’m going to give high praise to our waitress, Dani.
She was so kind, polite and attentive. She was sweet, patient and fun to chat with. The staff is hospitable, and work together to get hot food out to the tables, even if it’s not their table. The floor manager kept things moving and got her hands dirty, too. Now let me share about the 8 page menu! There is an expansive selection for dinner, something for every taste, and a modest Greek menu. They have an appetizer, breakfast and lunch menu, as well. Finally, dessert! Save room for the bountiful selection of cakes and pies. Homemade cheesecakes, decadent layered cakes and fresh pies. There is outdoor and indoor seating. I’ll try the patio next time, and enjoy the beautiful view. Go to this wonderful spot during your stay in Charles Town. I have no luck with gambling, but I hit the jackpot at this diner.
