What’s one of the first things that come to mind when you see a diner in Pennsylvania that’s been around for decades? Probably that there’s a good reason for it, right? The food, the atmosphere, the service. We have no shortage of diners to try throughout the state. For a scrumptious meal in a cozy atmosphere, plan a visit to Glider Diner.
The Glider Diner, in Scranton, has been serving delicious meals since 1945. Founded and run by friends and fellow veterans, Chappy LeStrange and the late Gene Cosgrove, Sr, the charming diner...
Became the star of the neighborhood, known for its scrumptious menu and friendly staff. Today, the old-school diner is still led by Chappy LeStrange, along with his son Charlie.
That first bite at the diner just might win you over, making Glider Diner your new go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you're stopping by for breakfast, try such popular meals as...
A stack of pancakes, French toast, waffles, or chicken fried steak. You can also piece together your favorite meal with sides. Home fries, Canadian bacon, and bagels are among your choices.
No matter what meal draws you to the diner, you're in for quite the conundrum of deciding what to order. You'll find, of course, all of the traditional diner fare on the menu - burgers, sandwiches, and...
Subs, for example. If you're really hungry, take a peek at the entrees - from the baked meatloaf and the liver and onions to the fresh ham and the chicken strips.
If you've brought the kiddos along, they've got plenty of choices, too, including such kid-approved favorites as spaghetti and meatballs, a hot dog and fries, and chicken fingers and fries.
Don't forget to save room for dessert (or grab it to go). You can't go wrong with a hearty helping of homemade rice pudding, a slice of pie, or a few scoops of ice cream.
