The Pierogie Burger


Schnecksville Family Diner
Route 309 - Schnecksville, PA
We found this place a couple of years ago on the way home from Weil's Antiques and thought it might make a nice place to meet our friends for dinner on Saturday evening before the horror double feature at Shankweiler's Drive-In Theater.


The menu referred to the name of this restaurant as The New Schnecksville Family Diner.  I'm not sure if it changed ownership since we last visited in 2023 or if they went by that name the last time we were there and I just didn't notice.  In either case, I didn't really notice a difference.  It's a pleasant little diner that reminds me of the kind of places that I would go out to eat with my family when I was a kid.  When you walk in, there's a lunch counter and booths on the left hand side of the cash register, and a nice dining room on the right hand side just past the dessert case that has more booths and tables for larger groups.


The PA Burger jumped off of the menu as soon as I saw it.  It's an 8 oz cheeseburger topped with pierogies and sauteed onions.  I never would have thought to make a burger with pierogies, but the combination works because it was delicious.
