Came here for lunch on Wednesday and had the buffalo chicken wrap. It had a more sweet flavor then what I am used to with buffalo chicken but it was still so delicious and good. I got it with ranch on the inside instead of blue cheese. And I got fries as well. Very impressed and I would recommend and come back another time.

Great food, reasonable prices, friendly and attentive wait staff. Ample parking. Had breakfast there twice while visiting on a long weekend.

The Wagner is a local favorite for a reason! The service is always quick and friendly, with very attentive wait staff. The food comes quickly with generous portions and you'll likely be offered a drink refill before you've even had a chance to empty your cup. This is my go to for breakfast and I've never been disappointed!

Good breakfast and good service. Popular place.

Great location for breakfast. Service was really good. Food was great! Open early. I would definitely recommend this place.

A nice small down diner! Good coffee, great cinnamon rounds . Good mexican omelet. Friendly waiter! Visiting from out of town.

Best diner in Penn Yan. Good food. Nice people. Quick service. Great price

Old school worn-floor diner with generous portions and good service. Got breakfast here and it filled us up nicely. Talking real diner food and not haute cuisine.
