From GoErie.com:
“Crossroads Dinor, 101 W. Plum St., Edinboro. (Old food residue, dishes or utensils found in hand-washing sink at bar; soap not available at hand-washing sink at bar; no single-use towels at hand-washing sink at bar; raw chicken stored above container of pickles in basement cooler; black residue and pink slime found on interior of ice-machine bin; food debris built up on blade of can opener.) Also 9 noncritical violations. Wednesday.”
First off:
- “Black residue” and “pink slime” are the most technical terms health inspectors could come up with for the disgusting goo that the Dinor keeps your food in.
Secondly:
- 9 Other non-critical violations. What the hell is going on there?
Wasn’t the Dinor supposed to be half-decent now that new owners took it over? What is going on here?

I thought it was supposed to be “a champion” like the idiot ex-coach owner said in the spectator
god bless
Yikes. Hopefully those health inspectors stay away from the beer taps at the bars in town, or you’re going to hear about some more slimy shit.
You mean slimy shit *within* the beer taps or *sitting-next-to* the beer taps?
Ba ha ha. Well played, sir. Well played indeed.
What a shame. The Dinor used to be THE restaurant in Edinboro. I’ve heard generations of alumni talk about meeting their parents at the Dinor for a great fast and cheap meal (like a diner should be) and their trademark pie. However, even the previous owners made the Dinor suck. Food was/is overpriced and bland, the menu is basic, the prices aren’t great, service is terrible, and people leave dissatisfied. The pie isn’t even their own!
These people probably have never eaten at Perkins before to realize for the same price, you can have a meal in less time and it tastes great. I’d rather have the Dinor than another franchise restaurant, but a local restaurant has to be unparalleled to survive anywhere! Get a clue or give up so someone else can come in and buy it and make it what it used to be.
At Kings you can get a very filling and tasty meal for a good 5.90 or so. Much better than Perkins, too. I’d rather see any chain restaurant go into the dinor’s location if the Dinor is just going to keep producing terrible service and shit food
the place definitely took a nose dive. I used to work there a while back before they closed. The place still has the same owner, Jim Sims, the guy with the shrine at the bar. Any way after the place closed up they did not bring back the cornerstone of the establishment, a mexican american named Chuy Lomelin. The man ran the show for 30+ years making all of the soups from scratch along with the weekly dinner specials. Now that he isn’t there the place is falling apart and serving shit. Granted the equipment in the place is way out of date and deteriorating much like the rest of the kitchen. In my honest opinion, unless there is someone who is willing to virtually rebuild the place inside and out, the place will be shut down again. I just hope that Mr. Sims looses it to the bank and a wholesome human being with at least half a brain takes it on. Glad I don’t have to work in that hell hole again, let alone try to eat something that oozes onto your plate.
Yeah, we were aware that Sims was still the owner, but it is being operated by new people. They don’t seem to be doing a very good job of it. Thanks for the comment!
