Here is a photo of mine, of the Venus Diner, shortly before it was moved from Gibsonia, PA to Cleveland, Ohio by Steve Harwin of Diversified Diners. It is for sale on their website.
Here’s how it appears, more recently, awaiting restoration in Ohio.
Some more pictures of it, taken when it was open, can be found here.
Hope that the Venus Diner can be restored to its former glory. Remembered eating there on many occasions when it was in Gibsonia, PA.
i used to like going there with some of my friends. Can any one tell me when,why and where did they move it to ?
My friends used to go to the Venue Diner when we were in high school. Would love to re-visit the diner in OHIO. What is your current physical address? Can plug it into my GPS

They had some good pie when the Venus was in Gibsonia. Take care of her Cleveland.

Loved the Venus. Glad to know where it is these days. Good cheep meals and fantastic pies.
I liked going to the diner. When my parents would visit from Ohio we always when to the diner for lunch. Glad to see that it is being taken care of and may soon be serving a new generation of patrons.
Anyone know where the Venus Diner is today in 2011, almost 2012?
As far as I know, Diversified Diners still has it, and it’s still for sale.

Is the Venus still for sale?how much? Great times there with my Grandma and Grandpap:)
The diner is greatly missed. I especially enjoyed the homemade pies (the marange was the best).
I have many fond memories of being here with my family!! We were here at least once a week every week!!
Good food, I’m from RT 8 and a lot of people miss it.,Karen Osche,Whittenberger.
I am the new owner of the Venus Diner, it is being moved to Minneapolis and opening this Fall
So glad to know it will still be in business. I grew up in Gibsonia, PA. and spent many a night as a teen with my friends there back in the late 50s and 60s, Sure do hate seeing that empty spot where the VD used to sit when I go by.

James we would love to see how you restored the Venus Diner!
I’m glade to see its being used, but would have loved to see it back in Gibsonia PA though…the empty spot still remains in my heart 😦
Is it open now? So many good memories and would drive there just for breakfast.
Do you have an address for it’s location? Is it still called the Venus Diner? Glad to see it is going to be used. Are you open for business yet?

I’m also from Gibsonia and spent many of my teen years hanging out at the Venus Diner. It was moved to Cleveland, Ohio and then moved to Minneapolis. MN. Last I heard, it is at 4020 East Lake St and is due to open in March 2016 by the new owner.
Thank you Linda
Look forward in seeing the Venus diner back in PA – what they did w/ it in Minneapolis was terrible & the name change is a disgrace. (The Venus diner should have been marked as an historic landmark) – not disgraced and left behind only to be moved to Cleveland Ohio then bought up and moved to Minneapolis.
The Venus Diner deserves better, and will one day have that chance to continue business under its old name 🙂
