If you're passing through on I-80, you're not missing a local gem if you drive on by.
Usually a bad dinner experience is disappointing, but this was offensive.
Came in with a family of 7 after a long day of driving. Â We found a table, but got a dirty look from the staff as we made our way to the table. Â No idea what rule we were breaking or taboo we were violating to deserve the waitresses' nasty stare before we even said hi.
We sat at the table several minutes before the the table was bussed from the previous diner. Â The waitress, obviously irked, tossed down some new silverware without making eye contact or speaking a word. Â My wife tried to extend an olive branch with a polite "thank you so much," but the waitress turned her back and walked away.
Fifteen minutes after sitting down and trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, we still hadn't gotten menus or a word from our waitress. Â She made a point of visiting every table around us and at one point, took a table's menus, walked past us, and put them away. Â We stood up and left at this point.
On the way out, my father who was traveling with us and owns his own business, got the attention of a staff member at the register and shared why we were leaving. Â
The response: "ok, see ya.". Â
As a Midwesterner, I've never seen someone happy that I'm leaving their restaurant upset... Â Negative reviews probably won't affect this place's business much, as it seems to be busy with locals.
Cute place, stopped here for dinner with coworkers. The staff was very nice & personable - not what we've encountered in other restaurants in this area. While the Pot Pie wasn't what we expected, it seems the locals love it (it's Pennsylvania Dutch style, different from what we eat in the south). The pies are homemade & taste like it, so very good! We stopped in the next morning for their breakfast, much better than the breakfast served at the hotel. Â Great pancakes, eggs, and homemade hash browns.
Review Source:We got a lot of weird looks when we walked in, and the staff were friendly but did not seem to know what to do with us. Â It felt odd, since it is a restaurant right off the interstate. Â However, the food made up for it, and everyone warmed to us. Â The philly steak and cheese was very good, and they had healthier options that come with cottage cheese. Â They also serve breakfast all day, which is always a good option on long road trips. Â There seemed to be a lot of locals, there were state police there, and the prices were not hiked up. Â It definitely is not a tourist trap.
Review Source:Stopped here on a trip out to Cleveland, makes a good half way point from NYC. Â Had breakfast here and our waitress Karen was a very sweet lady. Pancakes were huge and tasty, eggs are eggs, ham was good, coffee hot. Â Good value for the money. Â Would go back on a future trip across PA.
Review Source:We love this little place for a rest stop when we're traveling across rt 80. Homecooking, no question about that. Recommend the roast pork special  with stuffing and mashed potatoes. It was cheap and great for the price! Also had the roast turkey open faced sandwich with mashed and gravy. The desserts and pies look  great but I've never had room to try any of the desserts. Â
I loved the "decor". Lots of tsotske all over the place! And it's all for sale, should you care to own any of it........
This is one odd place. Religious "cheer up" plaques on the walls, all of which you can purchase in the antiques/gift shop cafe that's part of the restaurant.
The menu is definitely country, with nothing special. I went for the fried chicken and sweet potatoes. My girlfriend went for chicken parmigiana. The fried chicken was delicious, crunchy and definitely homemade. The chicken was fine, but the pasta it came with were terribly overcooked and the tomato sauce was as blend as if they took it directly from a prego jar.
It was an interesting stop while wondering around Centre County, nothing more nothing less. Not worth going out of your way or anything.
Two words: meatball volcano.  It's a breadbowl filled with sauce & meatballs, covered with provolone, and surrounded by penne pasta.  It was worth the stop & the $8 pricetag. Overall, this is your typical   greasy-spoon diner. Good but not great, definitely better than the chains.
