I only wish I had enough room to try the pie!!! Stopped in driving through town. Dinnertime but we had to try the Manada Hill breakfast platter (x2). Let me tell you - this kitchen knows what it’s doing!! Eggs were cooked over medium perfectly. Sausage patty was large, sausage links were delish. Home fries were crispy and still soft - no onions yay! Tater tots were good too! Belgian waffle (well worth the $1 up charge) was perfection - malty, crispy, soft inside. The pancakes were cooked golden brown. The coffee was fresh, hot, and good - not bitter at all. Our server was friendly and quick. The dining room was clean and comfortable. Wish we lived closer!!

The food was so good. We ended up eating here for dinner for the two days we stayed here. Their portions are huge and definitely worth the money. It’s a bit more of an older crowd but they have good food for children too.

The food was awesome, great chicken noodle soup great flavor. The turkey dinner with filling just like Thanksgiving dinner. The food was very good. The only thing better was our service with our server Marian. MARIAN WAS A ROCK STAR!!!! Great smile, friendly greeting, knew the menu well and was so attentive and absolutely spectacular. The best service I’ve had in a restaurant in the last two years easily and I eat out a lot. MARIAN is a superstar. Thank you I would rate it 15 stars if I could for service.

My wife and I stopped into this restaurant on an overnight stay in the area. The service was amazing and the food was very good and the portions are huge. Only downside is my wife ordered chicken pot pie and they served chicken and dumplings… that was their version on pot pie . Both were the specials which came with 2 sides on top of the huge entree. Wife added the corn it did come that way.

Nice traditional diner. The food is better than most similar restaurants. Everyone in our party loved their food. I had probably the best chicken pot pie I can remember. All the ingredients for top-notch. Not the usual startchy, thick broth a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants serve. You could really taste all the individual ingredients and the white meat chicken was freshly roasted. I would definitely order that again!

This Diner is a Hidden Gem. I've been coming to the area for roughly 2 years now and I've never eaten here. It's kind of tucked away next to a hotel, so it's not very easy to see it. If you are a fan of scrapple and you know that it has to be done a certain way, this is your place! Everything I ate was delicious. The scrapple was on point. If you are visiting from another state and you don't know about Scrapple, it's a Pennsylvania Dutch delicacy, and my personal opinion it's delicious. Give it a try! The service was wonderful and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be coming again.

I ordered the Macaroni & Cheese. It was excellent. It came with two sides AND a salad. I didn’t take a photo of the salad but it was big for a side salad. Everything was great! Easy on and off the highway. Server was quiet but attentive. The prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend.

Five Star Rating all around... Service was excellent, our waitress was wonderful. She was super nice and friendly. The food was very good and the portion sizes were very reasonable for the prices. The establishment was well decorated and very clean. Easy to navigate to and from. Plenty of parking.
