If you live outside of I-270, this diner will feel cozy and like home. If you live inside of 270, you'll feel transported into small town America cerca decades ago. Both feelings are delightful. Service was great and their famous Bacon Jam Burger was a star. The jam was not overrated on the least; it definitely adds a special sauce to the burger (and fries). The country omelette that my wife ordered couldn't compare to the burger, but it was fine if gravy is your thing. The prices are good too.

This is your quintessential small town diner. Exactly what we were looking for on a Saturday morning with the family. Polite and kind servers, good food and hot coffee. Delicious! Small venue, as most diners are so be aware that you may have to wait, but they turn tables really quickly for you. Enjoy!

Johnstown has a great restaurant for breakfast and this is it. You have to get there before 11am if you want breakfast. I enjoy their food and service. I recommend it.

Decided to check out the Dashing Diner in Johnstown for breakfast this morning. Ordered the Biscuits and Gravy, two eggs and home fried potatoes. The biscuits were nice and fresh. The gravy was a medium thick gravy, seasoned perfectly with plenty of crumbled sausage in it. The eggs were a perfect over medium. They have 3 types of potatoes. I chose the home fries, cooked perfectly. My waitress and cook was Ellie, she checked on me for refills periodically. This is decorated to be an OLD Fashioned Diner. Can't do anything but love it. Take a little time and check them out, pretty relaxing for sure.

Dashing Diner is everything you want if you're feeling a diner experience. It's small, it's retro, and the service and food are great. Their pancakes are out of this world! We live 30 minutes away, but plan to return to make our way through the rest of the menu. Parking is either on-street or in a public lot across the street. If it's a particularly busy day, you might have to park a ways down the street and walk. Also, if you have more than 4-6 people in your group, this may not be the place for you, because it is very small inside. If neither of those things are a problem for you, I highly recommend checking them out!

Pre-pandemic, my wife and I had lunch out every Wednesday with an emphasis on non-chain, locally owned restaurants, diners and pubs. After a 2 year hiatus due to the pandemic, we've resumed our Wednesday ritual of dining out at a locally owned establishment.We last visited the Dashing Diner Uptown in 2020 (just before the start of the pandemic) and this week we visited them again. This is a classic old diner with great food and service.Being a burger freak, I tried their All-American burger when I was here in 2020 and this time I tried their Bacon Jam Burger. Their menu claims that the baconn jam burger is famous and is their best seller. Well, time to give it a try. Even after enjoying the burger, I'm still not 100% sure what "bacon jam" is or how it's made but it was really good. The menu says the burger is "dripping with bacon jam" and that's a true statement. The burger came with a very ample portion of really good fries. I'd come back for the burger but I still want to try their Jalpeno burger and patty melt before having the same burger twice.The wife order a chef's salad which was exceptional. It was loaded with several kinds of greens, deli meat, tomatos, etc, You have a variety of dressings to choose from and she ordered hers with the blue cheese.When I was here in 2020, I was amazed at how fast the food was served once you placed your order. In 2023 - the food is still served incredibly fast.The waitress was excellent; service was great and the food exceptional. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try the jalpeno burger.

We went to the Dashing Diner for a quick lunch. The place is very small, very old and cluttered with stuff on the walls. It definitely could use a good cleaning. Our waiter was very friendly and took our order promptly. We had an unobstructed view of the 2 cooks behind the bar. Neither person wore gloves when preparing the food. We watched them handling raw bacon and eggs and then without washing their hands, open packages of buns, pull them out and start making sandwiches. Cross-contamination is a real thing people!! Our food arrived very hot but the hamburger was tasteless. The 5 very small frozen onion rings were also tasteless. I utilized 6 napkins to soak up the copious amount of grease dripping off of my burger. If you're hungry in Johnstown, steer clear of this diner! It's definitely a "one and done" place to eat! YUCK YUCK YUCK

Unfortunately, this place is going downhill. Food first, cold, entire meal with exception of the sausage patty. The toast was cold with no butter. (Specifically ordered butter) Ordered three over easy eggs and received cold scrambled eggs. (Still tasted good, but disappointed). French toast was cold, but tasted good.Now to service, poor to say the least. In the recent past there were young girls waiting tables who were delightful, happy and did a great job. Now they are gone and owner waits the tables. Service appears to be good if you are family, or friends. But if you are not, good luck. At first I chalked it up to an isolated incident, but unfortunately the last four times here, it was the same.Ambiance, the restaurant is a small town diner feel, just what I like. But the friendliness has left (unless you are family or friends). Maybe being the only shop in town has caused them to get complacent and tired of the mundane day to day routine? Don't know, but definitely going in the wrong direction.
