Di's Kornerstone Diner

For McKeesport, this diner is a hidden gem. For starters, the restroom is clean which is a great sign that they care about cleanliness. You can also see into the kitchen. Inside are red & white checkerboard table's and a hometown diner feel. The turkey club was delicious! Instead of being made with cheap deli sliced meat, it tasted like a home roasted breast that was then sliced. Generous amount of turkey. Fries were tasty. Service was fast.

First time here - nice size location and great parking. I had gotten a latte on the way - but outside drinks are not allowed (just FYI). At first I was thinking that was going to set the tone but boy was I wrong. Prices extremely reasonable and portions are huge!! I got their special / strawberry French toast bake. Goodness gracious it was amazing. I hear they make different flavors every week. I'll be back to try more!!! Service was very, very good. Very sweet - called me "honey". Just cute. Very casual place. If you're going on a Sunday be sure to get there before 10 or you will wait. It is worth it though!!

Good experience overall. Since this was my first visit, I am unable to provide an in depth review. Based on this meal, service was quick, and friendly. In fact, since this is a staple in the neighborhood one can truly catch onto the small town, warm, friendly atmosphere. Definitely a comfortable gathering place for community connections. Full menu featuring diner home style food. There were at least 4 different homemade soups featured. Hours of operation goes until 3pm.

I was just with my friend had breakfast.. our waitress was super nice. And our food was "OK." Not great. But there were 2 older gentleman sitting next too us asking this rude waitress about what he had ordered. Instead of just being the person in the wrong. The waitress began to argue and made the ol man upset... (not nice). I just said. Wonder why they are not busy anymore.. this waitress says something across the room with a loud voice.. making us feel right at home. (Sarcasm) The older gents said. This will be our last time. I was thinking the same.. but let it go. If that how they treat their customers. How sad..

Went for the first time with my brother. He loves this place. Very clean diner. Friendly and quick service. Had are food in no time. I ordered fried mushrooms and spaghetti dinner. Fried mushrooms were a batter breaded style. Enjoyed very much with the ranch dressing. Spaghetti was good just didn't care for the sauce. But was enjoyable. Will return.

We visited Di's with a larger group for brunch, and I was quite disappointed in the experience. This brunch was planned in advance, so there was fair warning for our group. We were seated in the back room which was semi-private and appropriate for us. There was some confusion as to if our group could order from the menu vs just get the buffet (communications prior gave varying answers), but it wound up just being buffet to make life easier (totally understand). Shortly after we sat, our waitress took our drink orders, but we were never given water (thought that was fairly standard?). A few of us requested water throughout the meal, though. She brought around our coffee, with one of the mugs having significant drippage as it arrived (and no cleanup). I requested milk instead of cream for my coffee, which was eventually brought over (after a second ask), but this also had a lot of drippage that soiled our table. No big deal, we cleaned both situations up. She seemed quite stressed, but our waitress was around for coffee refills when needed. For the buffet ... it was disappointing. The offerings were pretty standard - scrambled eggs (one plain, one with ham), hashbrowns, home fries, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and french toast. The one addition that was unique was the biscuits and gravy, which were easily the highlight of the fare. The biscuits were flaky and buttery and tasted homemade, and the gravy was flavorful, although probably could have included more meat for balance. I also tried the scrambled eggs which had very little flavor and were cold. Disappointing! I was also disappointed in the lack of healthier options - no offering of fruit or vegetables to round out the meal. I heard similar thoughts for the other buffet options from other guests, wishing for more variety and quality. I will say that Di's is a good price, but I would next time opt to order from the menu.

Well the food is pretty good but I will *NEVER* eat here again. The prices are OBSCENE. Just paid 50$ for two burgers and a kids pancake. They charged 1$ for a leaf of lettuce. 1$ for a tomato slice. $3.75 for 3 oz of gravy. 5$ for a small handful of fries. NEVER in my life paid 5$ to add a couple fries to a burger. Not even a lot. Like a McDonald's medium size. $2.75 for coffee, 3 for a glass of coke. I'm beside myself right now. Furious. I've eaten here many times and never ever ever had a check like this. They have literally started charging for everything. Be careful because they might be charging you to breathe their air the next time you go in. FURIOUS.

My husband and I decided to go out to lunch and we wanted somewhere new to go. We started looking up diners. That's when we found Di's. Their soups are amazing! All of their food will have you coming back for more. Great homemade dishes and reasonable prices. And I can't forget about the staff! Friendly and helpful. You will not be disappointed! Get away from the big chain restaurants. Go for the home cooking of Di's.

Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. Sometimes places lose grasp on that concept. I think Di's is hanging on by a thread. The Gang has been here twice in the past, and both times the food has just been...meh. Nothing spectacular. No "holy cats, that's awesome" or anything to blow me away. The service, however, has been short of expectations both times. Waitresses are more worried about their food at the computer and less worried about bringing people their food and creamer for their coffee. Di's does have a breakfast buffet, and that's kind of cool. I can't speak to its contents or it's quality, but considering Eat n Park is really the only place around that has that down, it's nice to see another business trying their hand. It's hit or miss here. To each their own. Happy Eating.

Terrible Food, and rude staff. If you want authentic BBQ, please don't go here, paid $57.00 & all I got was a stomach ache.
