Liberty Bell Restaurant

My first trip here, and although it wasn't a good experience, I plan on returning and will update this review if needed.

Now about my trip. I went with a friend and we ordered the same thing. Omelet, home fries, biscuits and gravy. My omelet came out wrong, ingredients not close to what I ordered, but didn't send it back because I can usually eat whatever they put in it. Not this time. Sausage tasted unlike any I have tasted before. Cheese had no taste, and mushrooms tasted like they had been in a can too long. Add to that it was overcooked.
Home fries are not real home fries. Bagged potatoes that tasted like cheap French fries. I would be embarrassed to pass these off as home fries.
Biscuits were on the small side but okay. Gravy was just okay.

Now my biggest complaint. The bathroom had no soap other than a bottle of dishwashing liquid, which would have been fine except I couldn't rinse the stuff off my hands. I never got it completely off even after rinsing my hands for at least 5 minutes. Once I got back to the table my friend was stirring his fork in his glass of water. I asked him what he was doing and he said the silverware smelled funny, and sure enough it was the same stuff in the bathroom. The Lavender smell was so strong you could taste it on the fork. So needless to say the meal was pretty much a waste.
Had read quite a bit about the place but found it very disappointing.

Place was understaffed but, but the portion sizes you get for the price is outstanding. Food was great, got the monster 1 pound burger, and was perfect. Hadnt ate here in about 5 years and it's as good now as it was then

This was one of the best experiences of our mini-trip.

Part bar, part family restaurant, part pizza parlor, this place can't quite make up it's mind what it wants to be.

And, for the most part, it works.

We stopped in on Friday night for ice cream  (we're heard locals talk about their hand dipped, home made ice cream) and we weren't disappointed.  We both had sundaes, and the ice cream, while perhaps not spectacular, was well above average.

Friday also happens to be Karaoke night,  and since it's an all ages venue, it was fun to see kids singing Karaoke.  The servers were a bit harried, since there was a HUGE crowd there, but they did a capable job and treated everyone with a smile.

Sunday evening, we decided to stop here for a dinner on the way home, since they had several dishes on their menu that we wanted to try.

Holly had the fried chicken, and it was, simply, out of this world.  Nice, crisp breading and tender, moist chicken.  The flavor was wonderful, and the price certainly was right...2 piece chicken dinner with salad and potato for $4.99.  Yes, you read that right.  $4.99.  If this place was near where I live, I'd NEVER go to KFC again.

I had a Patty Melt, and it was quite good, also.  I thought it was just a bit smaller than most patty melts, but the meat was well above average and the skin on fries are really, REALLY good.  I added a side salad, and the side salad is a cut above most side salads, with a nice mix of greens.

Both times we visited there, they were a bit under staffed, so I'll knock off a star for that....but, other than that, it was a quite good experience, BOTH times.  We'll be back in the area, in October, and we surely will stop here for a meal!
