Great steak sandwich w/the works, cheese or not. Big portions. Great service. Buffalo chicken sandwich only fair, not enough sauce. Blueberry pie fantastic. Cash only so check your wallet! Limited sides choices.

We were hungry and wanted breakfast not from a fast food place so we saw signs and thought we try it out. The value and portion is insane! We order blueberry pancakes with 3 eggs, bacon, toast and potato ‘fries’ — all for only $ 12! The blueberry pancakes(3) were huge, round and fluffy. It was so good I had to save some left overs for the road. Everything else was quite decent and just found the value to be super generous compares to the price. It’s a cute little local diner that serves good meals.

Been there a bunch of times. I don’t know what’s better truth be told. The food or the people. It’s definitely gonna become a staple in my family.

My boyfriend and I recently visited Lake Wallenpaupack and wanted to check out a local breakfast spot. Spanky’s did not disappoint! The waitstaff was very friendly. On a crisp November day, stopping in for a nice cup of coffee and a fresh breakfast was perfect! The omelette was delicious as well as the chocolate chip pancake. Definitely a great place to visit!

Ever since we walked through the door, it felt like we were family. The server was very attentive and so nice to our toddler. Food was delicious and well seasoned! Very reasonable prices too! The cinnamon rolls were fantastic. If you are ever nearby, this spot is a must!

This local’s diner is very«authentic». Some old-timers and bikers at the counter, and it seemed like everyone knew everyone. The service was very good; however, when I got the bill, I noticed it wasn’t itemized– just showed the total. Who does that?! The total bill was over $ 46 when it should have been around $ 35. Since we were in a rush I didn’t make a big deal of it and just paid the bill. However, I couldn’t help but think the extra charge was for«out of towners».

Really enjoyed the license plate motif. The bathroom sign is a penna license plate that says«his». The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired, plain white plastic siding on all walls with conventional fixtures. Ugh, get a ‘hang in there ’ poster at the very least! There are some blood stains above the sink, which adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the whole place. There’s is tp stuck to the toilet bowl, but don’t worry, I didn’t use it ! There is a nice window to view the parking lot. I ripped a huge dump

Such a cozy spot! I had the breakfast sandwich on a English muffin with cheddar. Nothing crazy hard to make but it was exactly what I wanted. The waitress/owner(?) was sincerely pleasant and shared little stories with us about the history of the place. For instance, how the licence plate décor was happenstance. Very lovely lady!!!

Very cute little place. Name can be misinterpreted by outsiders but this place is something out of a quaint little town movie. Employees allot of the youth from the area which is nice to see. Food is good old mother’s recipes.

Ambiance/Décor/Atmosphere: Looks like a run down bed and breakfast inn from the outside, but there is some nice artwork on the glasses representing the establishment. The signage hanging is pretty cute too. Inside looks like a typical diner, but the seating could use major updating: paint is peeling off banquettes and chairs are a bit uncomfortable. Noise/sound level: It was pretty crowded this morning, but it’s a holiday weekend so expect places around these parts to be busy. It wasn’t very loud or distracting inside so your conversation will be fine. Menu: The menu is pretty small centered on breakfast and lunch. They serve minimal egg, pancake, french toast, and burger dishes. You’re not coming here for out of the ordinary, just a decent place to get breakfast. Service: The servers were pretty attentive, friendly, and informative, no complaints here. Food: Five of us had cinnamon french toast, which was found enjoyable, and I had biscuits and gravy. The food was decent, but could have been a little warmer and seasoned a bit stronger. Bar: None. Price: Pretty cheap overall; competitively priced. Overall: Cash only joint that serves okay food; would go again if in the area.

I like it. It’s a small town breakfast place. The portions are just about perfect. They do tend to overcook the bacon, though :( I wish they were BYOB, but early morning OJ and vodka drinking is «frowned upon» pretty often. Although I haven’t EXPRESSLY tried it here– yet! LOL

I stumbled upon Spanky’s on a motorcycle trip from Plano Texas to Rhode Island after camping overnight at Tobyhana State Park. It was a memorable breakfast of blueberry pancakes, bacon and coffee. The atmosphere felt like Cheers. Friendly staff and friendly patrons. The pancakes and bacon were yummy. A guy at the breakfast bar struck up a conversation and I learned about cabins and real estate in that area. Great find.

Great restaurant for families with small kids. We had a group of eight with two toddlers, the staff were extremely nice, and the service was fast. I recommend the Philly Cheesesteak with all of the toppings. For kids, the mouse pancakes were a big hit and come with blueberries. Please note they only accept cash.

I love this place. The breakfast tastes like the farmer’s wife just made it for you. I am really picky a about my over medium eggs, crispy bacon, home-fries, and dark wheat toast. I can’t even get it right most times when I fix it for myself. But the three times I have been to Spanky’s they have been perfect. The service is good and the prices are much lower than chain restaurants. This is the real deal and not a bunch of yuppies trying to run a country diner. So you won’t get any fancy fare here. Just outstanding country eats!
