Decided to give Trails End another try since its under new management and its no better than before…read moresadly! Place is run down and drab! Ladies room so cramped that if someone is using the sink you can't get out of the stall. I ordered the seafood pasta which had very generous pieces of clams, large scallops and shrimp. At first glance it looked delicious but it was literally swimming in a buttery flavored oil, well over an full inch of this oil!!!! And very flavorless at that. I had coleslaw slaw which I think was at the point of "turning" sour. My husband had seafood cakes that were white looking and not very appealing. He had salad so piled high on a small plate that any attempt to cut it caused it to fly all over the table! Definitely needs larger salad plates. Food at first glance looks okay but after tasting not so much!!!!! Server was nice, but overall place needs to improve greatly if they want to charge in the $20 range for their dishes!!!! Won't be back or recommend, sorry!

UN BE LIEVABLE…read more The food, the service, the value, the staff! Hard to put into words how cool this night was at the bar as a solo dude here in PA on business. They had cheese, chicken and steak options on their quesadillas. I asked if they could do grilled shrimp instead. "YEP" It was the largest, chunkiest, tastiest quesadilla I've ever had! They tossed in sour cream, salsa and pico without batting an eye or adding cost to it. I asked the gal that emerged from the kitchen if she was the chef. She was indeed the saint who made my quesadilla, so I was able to let her know I had just consumed the nectar of the Tex/Mex gods in her offering. The bartender/my server was the nicest, most easy going person ever. He could be selling airplanes for Boeing but somehow he's here doing his craft. I've traveled the US and have gone to literally hundreds of sports bars/restaurants etc. It's hard to describe when you don't encounter a negative person or scene in any conversation or request. If I lived around here I'd sleep in the parking lot so I don't miss a meal or drink oppo. If there were 10 stars I'd give it. I've left some harsh reviews so I don't type the above lightly. To the owners of this patch of golden humanity..... THANK YOU! Why? For finding and hiring great people who care about their work, products and guests.

It's the closest full-service grocery store to the trail, and let's face it folks, a cyclist who's also a type-1 diabetic absolutely must have food. We bought some nuts, some fresh fruit, and some dried fruits for the trip back. We didn't get a chance to check out the other areas of the store, but the produce department seems to be very good here. I suggest you stop in here before hitting the trail if you're going to bike the entire distance. There are absolutely no places to obtain food or beverages on the trail.

I was told it's a great place to eat if your in the area. Its located in one of the busiest parts of Elk Country, near Benezette PA. During leaf peeping time-this place was crazy busy but we took our chances. Being very loud... I pointed to the item on the menu, simple chicken tenders and a side salad. She asked what dressing I would like ect. I got 4 chicken nuggets and no salad. She said it would take a while for a side salad, and charged for the side of ranch dressing? My sister, another simple order, chicken tender dinner that came w fries. she asked to upgrade the fries to add chili, waitress say ok. She got her chili on a separate side of fries which she was charged for Next, a bowl of chili- he got a bowl of cream of Broccoli- The only thing that came out right was a cheeseburger!
