Valentines Day Breakfast. Wow I can't remember if I have ever had better tasting food. I had the Stuffed Waffles/ blueberries &cream which were incredible and my husband had the Top O THE Hill a mound of biscuits, creamed beef, potatoes & eggs. Warm decaf coffee. We left smiling& satisfied with left overs. NOnly cost us $32.00 plus tip

I’ve been going past this place for years and we finally made the stop in before going to Hometown market. We wanted salty and sweet so we tried the Hometown Hero which comes with your choice of pancakes or French toast, two eggs, home fries or hash-browns, two bacon or sausage, toast and your choice of coffee or juice all for $15. We also tried the chorizo hash and French toast. All the food was hot and delicious and the server was very friendly. We would definitely like to come back and try lunch and dinner.

Place has that hometown feeling, where everyone knows each other. Service was good and the food exceeded expectations, this is not some fancy restaurant it’s basic American food with a little flair, they have more than the typical diner fare. If you are picky, may not be the place for you, but don’t “knock it till you try it” We enjoy our meals and the service provided.

Excellent! Everything was perfect. Fun little spot that popped up out of nowhere. When we got a menu I saw swordfish and Hawaiian breakfast platters. In the middle of PA. I got the Cuban Grinder that was amazing with the soft sub roll instead of the normal pressed bread of most Cubans. Mozzarella sticks were pretty good, great cheese pull. They would have been better if the oil was fresher. She had the Asian wrap “herb seasoned grilled chicken” clashed a bit with the other flavors, but was good. Rice pudding 10/10 Baklava 10/10 Would love to go back sometime and try the poutine.
