Food was great, service was great. Nice little family diner. Probably the best omelet I've eaten in a very long time. The French Toast was also delicious. I'll certainly be back. Thanks for an enjoyable breakfast.

Was taking a drive through Carbondale and stumbled across Pinky’s. What a diamond in the rough. Fast and friendly service. Great menu of lunch and breakfast. We had the stuffed French toast and blueberry pancake short stack with home fries. Delicious food and super reasonable price. Nice atmosphere.

I’ve only had breakfast here but they always nail it. Today they had a soppressata and red pepper omelette special which was incredible. Staff are always quick and friendly with a really nice atmosphere. You can even sit at the bar if you want that old timey diner feeling. Don’t let my picture fool you, I didn’t get a small portion of home fries I just started demolishing them before I remembered to take a picture. Great breakfast stop.

The food was really good and everyone was happy with it. Very reasonably priced with large portion sizes. Next time I'm going to checkout that cake cabinet, too. The server was very nice and people regularly come around to offer more coffee.
