Help Us Rebuild
After the devastating fire that closed the Penn Yan Diner in May 2024, the Penn Yan Diner team launched The Pancake Truck to raise money for rebuilding.
Serving all your Penn Yan Diner breakfast favorites, our mobile food truck is available for booking at locations around Yates County and the Village of Penn Yan. All profits from the truck go toward rebuilding our beloved Penn Yan Diner. You can also contribute to the rebuild through our GoFundMe
We are also looking for people willing to donate or discount construction services toward our rebuild. As of May 2025, we’ve received planning board sign-off for the rebuild, with construction permits pending. We hope to start construction in Summer 2025.
