Highspire Diner

This is a super legit diner with a photo of it from 1945 inside. The menu is pretty standard with typical breakfast fare. The interior is very clean. The service is fast and attentive. Overall, I recommend this place for a fast, cheap meal.

Best food and the friendliest waitresses any where. They have the best breakfast bare none. I would recommend to anybody looking for great food and the right price stop and meet these great people. I know this a short review but if you stop by, I guarantee you will be writing the next great review and telling your friends.

Excellent food, great service, cozy atmosphere! The kids were treated so nicely, too.

Loved this place. Great service and atmosphere and the food was amazing. If we ever come by here again we will be sure to come back! Waitress was SO nice to us and the kids. Really stellar.

Excellent breakfast was had by all three of us when we decided to stop off the PA Turnpike and eat a good meal. Classic small 1950’s diner and the music to go with it! Great customer service too. We had the cheese omelet, grits, French toast, home fries, bacon and toast. Apple butter on the tables too. Everything was delicious! Worth going the extra 4 minutes off the highway.

Came in for breakfast after a funeral in the area and wasn’t disappointed. It was quaint and clean and it had that down home feel. The server was very friendly and made us feel right At home. The prices are comparable to other breakfast places but I thought it would be cheaper due to the type of place and the location but it didn’t break the bank. They seem to have a lot of home made specials. I’d definitely go back if I was in the area again!

Best breakfast in the Highspire/​Middletown area. Great old school prices with great ice cream parlor type atmosphere.

Very clean. Local diner. Staff is mostly friendly. Food is pretty good. Standard breakfast fare. Bf loved the omelette and the grits. Fast service each time we went.
Happy with the authentic diner experience. Esp since its local and charming. Usually have oldies music playing. Six tables. 10 barstools. Open on sundays. Cash only. Parking in the back accessible by immed alley or nearest cross street.
Left feeling very satisfied. Would be a place i would be ok dining alone at. Check it out

First time there. Clean, authentic 1950s diner. The real deal! The food was perfect. I had a classic burger and fries. My better half had one of their hot sub sandwiches. The prices there belong in the 1950s. The staff was friendly and attentive. Will absolutely go here again! A lot of diners are cash only and this is no exception, never to fear however. They have an ATM if you need money.

Awesome place. Unique items on the menu. Great ambiance. Small, and cash only. Friendly statt.

Came across the Highspire Diner on our way to the airport — what a great find! Liked it so much, we had to return the following week when we came back into the Harrisburg Airport! Clean, clean, clean! The food was good and didn’t break the bank! We will visit again, next time we are coming through town!

It’s our first time there. The place has good atmosphere, good music with tasty food. The only thing we didn’t know is that it’s cash only-​but no biggie. It was still a very good experience!

Great food! Great service! This place is a little gem in Highspire! Definitely worth a stop.

I love this place! The food is always well prepared and served quickly. Prices are cheap to reasonable. The diner itself is always immaculate and clean. It is an original stainless steel diner, how can you not love it?
Tip: When I pick up friends or family from the West Coast flying overnight into HIA, I generally bring them here as it is just around the corner from the airport. They love the PA specific foods available. Apparently creamed chipped beef is not available in California!

I will always have fond memories of this diner. Among other reasons, it was the very first wagon-​style diner that I ever went to. I’ll be honest — upon first arrival, I was less than impressed. It was dim, but it definitely has it’s own quirky charm. The diner is small and out of the way for all but local traffic. Although I make it out only a few times per year, the staff always seems to remember me. The staff here feels less like waitstaff and more like family.
The food is fairly standard diner fare with specials that change daily. They’re great about making substitutions and accommodations. I’ve been there with people from ages six to thirty-​five, and no one has ever complained.
If you’re in the area or even just vaguely interested in a trip out, I highly recommend the place. In my opinion it’s well worth the drive.

Hands down, my favorite diner in the country.
The diner is an old wagon-​style diner — the real deal — and the staff have all been working here for upwards of fifteen years. After making our food, the owner came out to chat with us because we clearly weren’t from around those parts. Best of all, it was astoundingly cheap. I can’t wait to go back.
