Nothing better than a good diner! We love the Pine Cone. Great menu that has something for everyone.
We came in around 2pm and it was pretty much quiet which was good. We were greeted by Robin who was AMAZING!! Great portion and great service! Definitely coming back. Food was great also!
The Pine Cone Cafe holds a lot of old memories. It was sad when it closed a few years ago, but we were happy when it reopened. It is largely unchanged through the decades. The wait staff does an excellent job of keeping up with the throngs of people who have returned to their old stomping grounds. Coffee clubs, men's prayer groups, Chamber of Commerce members, church members from University Place Presbyterian Church (just a block away across the street). The coffee is bitter, but it is served with a loving attitude and refills flow continuously. The menu is broken up into several sections, but the irony (to me) is that the ENTIRE MENU is served ALL-DAY, EVERY DAY. There's something for everyone! NY Steak & Eggs, Chicken-Fried Steak, Stuffed French Toast, Chicken & Waffle, Reuben Sandwich, Spaghetti, Hamburgers; sandwiches include a BLT, a Reuben, and Burgers, plus Cobb Salad, Chef's Salad, all kinds of salads! And a pie and pastry case that is loaded with tantalizing desserts including Peach Pie! There's an actual lunch counter in addition to booths along with tables and chairs. The parking lot is ample, but likely to be packed during any of the hours they're open, which are: Monday 7am-3pm Tuesday-Friday 7am-8pm Saturday Sunday 8am-3pm 2912 27th Avenue West, University Place, WA Enjoy a trip back in time at the Pine Cone Cafe!
Located right next to old town delights and south sound janitorial is a hidden Jim, the food was wonderful, and the weight staff was delightful, our waitress was Aaliyah a cancer just like my friend was with me! I had the Montecristo and it tasted like heaven (am I in Disneyland)??? my pal had the corn corn beef hash, she loved it, and looked pretty happy while she was eating it! We started out our brunch like any other normal people with fried pickles, drinks looks nice too! If you're looking for a spot to enjoy the ambience and amazing service as well as All-Star company, head on down to the Pinecone Café!! -Bon voyage
Great service and good food!! Stepping into the Pine Cone feels like you're stepping backing into the 50's. Old school dive diner feel. The food doesn't disappoint and the restaurant stayed busy, which is always a good sign! We had the chilaquile scramble, apple cinnamon French toast, croque Madame and no fall breakfast is complete without pumpkin pancakes!! It was all delicious but when I go back I will have the chilaquile scramble for sure and the seasonal pancakes they have on the menu. Those two items were amazing!!!
