I spent a long day tooling around the Laurel Highlands and wanted to get back to Pittsburgh before…read moredark. However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago. What a nice surprise to have such a delicious square meal in a place called Indian Head. FOOD - 5 stars..tasty, reasonably priced diner fare exceeded my expectations AMBIANCE - 4 stars...clean and spacious diner SERVICE - 5 stars...friendly server made a big difference TOTAL - 5 stars...if I'm ever in western Pennsylvania, I'd be back RELATED - Exploring the Pittsburgh area?

Despite being extremely busy, we were seated within three minutes of walking in the door. Coffee was really good but the positives really stop there. We ordered breakfast sandwiches made with croissants. What was delivered to us was a grease soaked, flat and browned croissant. It was obvious they assembled the sandwiches then put them on the griddle, smashing them down into the grease. I have never eaten a flat croissant before and I never will again. Other than that, service was prompt and friendly. Not an unhappy face amongst the staff. The noise consisted of mainly the other patrons. Handicap accessible but it might be a little cramped if they're very busy.

The interior space has a good bit of character, and the staff seem very friendly and helpful. In terms of the food, everything was good. The portobello mushroom salad was nicely presented. The Brussels sprouts were good and not over the top, but we forgot to ask the restaurant to hold the bacon. My partner ordered a small portion of meatloaf, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Even the side of green beans were nicely executed and somewhat crisp. In terms of options in Ligonier, this is pretty high on my list. It's not fantastic, but it's well worth a stop if you're looking for good food and maybe a beer.

The prices are a bit steep, but guess can charge more when only place in town. You order at the counter & they have 4-5 booths for dine-in. We ordered crispy chicken salads. They were out of unsweet tea and any diet dressing. Drinks are in cans or bottles. The service was good and staff is friendly. Salads come topped with a good portion of beer-battered fries. (To me it is odd to have fries on a salad, so I put them on the side.) The fries were nice and hot and tasted good. The salad has cucumbers, green peppers, onion, egg and tomato. Overall, very fresh and tasted good. The chicken was tender and melted in my mouth. The inside of building is small and appears to maybe had been an ice cream shop at one time.

After three days of biking the GAP, we arrived in Confluence ready for a great dinner, and River's…read moreEdge Cafe absolutely delivered. Before going, I had read a few isolated reviews mentioning poor service and food quality. Since our experience was the complete opposite, I think it's only fair to share it as some balance. We had made a dinner reservation for the patio overlooking the river. It was a beautiful, sunny (and HOT) day. When we arrived, the hostess let us choose our table. I picked a sunny spot, but our server, Amy, came over and suggested we move just one table back because the shade would reach us much sooner, and we would still have a great view of the river. She was right, and after a long day on our bikes, we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. And that was just the beginning. Amy immediately brought us water and took our drink order. I was craving a spicy margarita, which wasn't on the menu. She graciously told me that if they had jalapeños in the kitchen, she would make me a great one. A little while later, Amy appeared with my margarita in hand and apologized for the delay. Then she explained why it had taken a little longer: they didn't have any jalapeños in the kitchen, so a staff member had actually run to their nearby home to grab a fresh pepper FROM THEIR GARDEN for my drink! Seriously. Who does that?! And yes, it was one of the best spicy margaritas I've ever had. Dinner was just as impressive. I really wanted a Caesar salad with steak, which also wasn't a menu option. When I asked Amy about it, she immediately said she thought they could make it happen. And they did. The steak was cooked perfectly, the salad was well made, and it had exactly the right amount of dressing. After three days of biking the GAP, sitting beside the river with a delicious meal, refreshing drinks and that beautiful view was exactly what we needed. Huge props to Amy and the entire staff at River's Edge Cafe. From accommodating our off-menu requests to literally finding a fresh-from-the-garden jalapeño for my margarita, the service went far beyond what we expected. Our experience was absolutely wonderful, and River's Edge will definitely be on our list the next time we're in Confluence!

We sat inside that had two front rooms of table space and a homey feel to it. On the menu, it suggested ordering the soup as it was the chef's specialty. The food was overall fine.

Their wings looked large, and plenty of sauces - I tried the pepper pepperoni pizza, and the Buffalo chicken ranch pizza. Solid pizza - sauce on chicken was very spicy and had a nice kick.
