“ An excellent local diner staffed with wonderful friendly staff. The food is like what you would expect from your grandmother. The homemade pies and ice cream are to die for. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended. ”
“ Stop in on our way to State College for a concert. The food was homemade and fantastic! The staff was very friendly. The prices were very fair considering the quality of the food. Paying cash is cheaper than card. Will definitely stop again if in the area. Open face turkey was fantastic and well portioned. ”
“ I was traveling and went here for dinner. The lady was so friendly and the food was amazing. It has the homely environment. ”
“ Great food, generous portions and good service. The waitress was friendly even though we were dining pretty late. On time with everything. It’s always a good sign when you walk in and see a big fella chatting with the waitress like he’s a regular. Then the food came out hot and delicious and I had enough for lunch the next day. The owners even took a few minutes to chat with us. Turns out a local farm family owns this place. How cool is that! Definitely recommend this place to everyone. Good location too-walking distance from a pilot truck stop and right near interstate 80. Let’s support this awesome family owned restaurant! ”
“ This is my favorite waffle. The berry sauce is the same as when I had it last time in Japan. It's not too sweet. It was very delicious. We will definitely come back to this restaurant again. Thank you. ”
