Been here many times but was disappointed today. Service here was never stellar but was especially off today. We did not get our soups. We had to ask for them. Arrived at 1:10…no food hit the table until 2:05. Chips were mere crumbs in an oversized bowl. The Sweet Hottie is my favorite sandwich….today it was underwhelming. Two little Carmelized onions on over-breaded chicken tenders with hot sauce…did not appear to be hot honey? Hoping holiday week is to blame and not a reflection of what to expect.

Really nice atmosphere. You walk in and can sit wherever you'd like. They have a small menu. I ordered the tuna melt (10/10)with truffle fries(5/10) and half a Cesar salad(10/10) and a mimosa. My husband ordered the sweet hottie on a baguette(8/10) with greens and the immunity juice.(10/10). Everything was delicious .. the truffle fries are the only thing that was underwhelming.. the cesar salad had a different taste that i loved. Idk if it was the dressing or the caramilized onions. My husband is also picky and he liked his sandwich.Will definitely be coming back

Wonderful service and food. They bent over backward to accommodate our large party. The avocado toast was great. We also all loved the OMG smoothie

The food was amazing. I had the caprese sandwich on multigrain, and it was out of this world. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice too. I felt very comfortable there while stuffing my face!

Once again food followers I am at a place in Pittston called Canteen Central. The last time I was at this establishment they were on Market Street in Kingston. Now I ordered the Canteen Classic Cheeseburger which comes with lettuce tomato pickle cheese and chipotle mayo. It was a nice size burger, hot and juicy. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about chipotle mayo but that turned out to be really good also enhancing the taste of the burger with the other toppings and ingredients. You have your choice of side salad (house) or chips. I took the salad. They make their own balsamic vinegar dressing. Me not liking salads this was good, maybe because I asked for extra dressing. I also ordered their truffle Parm fries, I don't know how to really describe this other then really good and interesting. They serve both breakfast and lunch all day. Until next review be blessed and stay safe.

Been here on 3 separate occasions, 2 eat in and 1 take out. The dine in experiences weren't bad, the most notable was the Thanksgiving day sammie back in Nov 2023. Most recently got the sweet hot chicken sandwich and fries. Pretty disappointing. Over breaded pre-made chicken strips with no flavor and precut krinkle fries that were cold and barely cooked.For a place that seems to pride itself on fresh made and such, seems to be hit or miss on the actual 'fresh'.

Charming and contemporary diner featuring a cozy breakfast bar and seating on one side, complemented by a dining area on the other. During our visit, the place had a consistent flow of patrons, and the staff was earnestly keeping pace. Though there was a bit of a wait as tables were being prepared, I’m confident they’ll smooth out the kinks.The diner boasts a delightful coffee and tea selection paired with a light breakfast offering, including omelets, avocado toast, and more. For lunch, they serve a variety of soups and sandwiches. Additionally, they have a range of smoothies and juices available.

EDIT - THE OWNER JUST CONTACTED ME AND THREATENED ME FOR WRITING THIS REVIEW! NONE OF WHICH WAS DISHONEST OR MALICIOUS. I AM TOTALLY FREAKED OUT AND I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!!! This place has really gone down hill. Used to be delicious and reliable! One of my favorites. Big fan, traveled for food to all 3 of their locations (Canteen 900, Canteen Park). But now it's too hard to order and you never know what is going to happen. They never answer the phone. The website has a lot of kinks that need to be adjusted to place orders online. The hours listed on the website are incorrect. And they sometimes do and sometimes do not accept delivery orders from DoorDash. Today I was unable to select items online. Then unable to pay for a pickup order AND unable to process delivery through DoorDash. Super disappointing experience. I hope they make the changes needed to stay open because they have lost a lifelong customer.

For my first impression this place has delicious and very well seasoned food. There are plenty of healthy and fresh options to choose from. I ordered the breakfast wrap and my husband ordered the acai bowl and the PB&J smoothie with an odd combination of blueberry, strawberry and banana. He was more impressed with the acai bowl than the smoothie. I have no complaints about the food. My only turnoffs from this place were the uncomfortable seats and the unfortunate location of seating next to the bathroom where you can see straight in and smell it. A partition wall would be great to place there since there's more than enough room to do so. People don't close the door when they leave. Otherwise, this place is a great alternative to the other restaurants nearby.

They have no idea what to do on Saturday’s when it is extremely busy. The girl who sat us asked if we wanted a booth or table, we said table and she goes “well there’s only that one” (pointing to table with 6 chairs) there was only two of us, so we asked if she wanted us to go there and she said “sure”. Then why give us the option if it’s a problem? We sat for about 30 minutes before we got a menu or someone even came over. Then after we got the menus we had to wait another 15 minutes for her to come back. This is due to the fact they have one waitress on for the busy restaurant, not her fault but definitely won’t return after the experience.
