Bloomsburg Diner

I’ve eaten here a few times. Pretty basic cash only establishment. Not wowed by the food. Cheap and fast though. This most recent time three of us attended for breakfast to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Jack, the owner or manager was genuinely rude to us and said if we didn’t like how he treated his customers to leave. So we did. We were honestly having kind interactions and were greeted by a smiling waitress and a rude boss. He made my wife cry. We will stick with Bloomin Bagels from now on…

Best breakfast in bloom hands down. Fast service and amazing toast. Get the pork roll, you won’t regret it.

When I saw it was an old Toddle House and not a NJ-​style diner, I had my doubts. But when you have to wait 20 minutes for a seat at a diner and it is full of college students, you know it is worth the wait and won’t break your budget.
I was there with seven other people after a dog show at the fairgrounds. It was a Saturday at noontime and there was no meter fees. We were all from outside the area.
It was Halloween and the waitress was dressed as a 50’s style waitress. Really cool!
I had the stuffed cabbage rolls, perogies, and a cup of their soup of the day. Since it was Halloween, that was split pea soup! Had to laugh at that choice!
The food was really good and fresh. Not huge portions, but good enough to get me through until dinner. Everything was homemade. I do think the perogies were also homemade. My friends had everything from taco salads, to omelets to gyros. Everyone liked their food.
One thing you must remember about this place… cash only.
Service and food were great. It’s unlike diners you find in the Philly-​NYC areas. It’s a good find.

Typical dinner, never had a bad breakfast there. Service is better then average.

Stopped for lunch on a whim. Building has a doppelgänger in Pottsville along route 61. They were Toddle House’s when they first opened.
Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and chips. A hand made patty, shut up !!! Had good flavor and was decent sized, I would guess ¹⁄₃ lb.
I can see myself going here more. Service was fast and food was good.
They only accept cash, but they conveniently have a ATM in the lobby with the $ 2.00 extortion fee.

The breakfast me and my family shared was good!
But other areas need attention.
Metered parking was not something I would expect at a restaurant of this caliber on site free parking would have been a plus.

Love love this place. My and my boyfriends favorite breakfast date place. Servings are huge, speedy and fantastic. Small town appeal, perfect for the college setting and college sized hungover stomachs!

Definitely a diner experience: Extremely greasy/​starchy food that provides your daily value of carbohydrates in one platter, but I was in the mood for just this. Thumbs up for filling grub after walking around Bloomsburg! The portions were generous, and the service was swift, kind, and casual. My only complaint is that the ‘crab patty’ that I ordered was mostly imitation crab meat, with a slight portion of blue crab mixed in. It definitely tasted like a serving of broiled imitation crab meat (which I know to be a fish called Pollock), but it was tasty, I admit :) I am just a little disappointed that they didn’t advertise this.

Best $ 2 breakfast in town. What more can one say? Quite a bit, as it turns out. But I’ll keep it short and sweet here. Actually they finally had to up it by $ 0.25, but it’s still an amazing value. One egg (any style), toast, and hashbrowns? Sign me up!
The omelets here are nothing to sneeze at either. The pancakes, while some may not be impressed, are among the best available to the sit-​down breakfast scene.
The lunch and dinner fare is fairly standard, and I’ve yet to find anything there that wows me, but for the early morning rush in downtown Bloomsburg there isn’t a better place year-​round.

Diner food fast and cheap and fairly tasty. I love a great diner. This is a good one. The menu is a bit limited compared to the menu books that could pass for novellas I’ve come to expect at a diner. The service was okay. The prices were great. All in all I can’t complain — but I can’t rave either.
Also, be aware — CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM on site.

Has all the feel of a classic greasy spoon diner, except the service takes forever.
I expect breakfast, eggs, etc., to be a quick order and service. Ours took over 45 minutes. While the quality was good, it is way to slow to consider if you are hungry. I usually go to a restaurant, especially breakfast, when I am hungry.
Unfortunately there is no other diner very close by.
If you are willing to travel to Berwick you will find better quality food, and practically instant breakfast service.
I think I will stay on 1 – 80 for a couple more miles next time.

Great stop on the drive from State College to NYC. Highly recommend this as a pit stop off I80, and stop into balzano’s for some pop rocks on the way out.

Whenever I am passing by this town on I-​80 I always drop by this diner to get breakfast. The food here is fantastic! I always get a plate of Virginia Ham, which serves a huge portion of incredible ham along with eggs, toast, hashed browns and coffee.
The diner is always cold here. Bring along a jacket even in the summer months!

a/​affordable prices
b/​good PA diner experience.

This place is fantastic. Great food, very cheap. 24hrs a day. Serves breakfast all day. Good sandwiches, good fries. I’m not usually a fan of potato salad, but I liked theirs. The cole slaw was not very special, but I did still enjoy it. I would highly recommend this place for inexpensive food and large portions. Two people could easily split something and eat for under 5 – 7 dollars.
Smoking is no longer an issue which the previous reviewer disliked.

It’s a diner and expect a diner experience. I can’t stand eating somewhere that allows smoking and that turned me off.
