    Any place that does Pittsburgh style salads is always a 5 star place in my book. Take a look at the chicken salad with fries and cheese. This is the full salad and it's massive! I was warned by the server by how much food this really is but it was worth taking this epic salad to the dome. The greens and veggies were fresh, the chicken was plentiful and cooked well, and the fries were crispy and delicious. Service was good and the food even better! It's hard to find a place that does a ham pot pie and feel like my group and I found this solid gem of a place that has massive portions, good prices, and a real home cooked vibe for any meal.

    Mushroom Swiss burger, no bun and the best broccoli ever

    Nice place to stop after a long day of driving. Nothing fancy, just casual good food in walking distance to our hotel. We had a very nice waitress and a good meal

    menu

    This place is what all small town restaurants wish they could be. Good food, good service, fair prices, and homey. So many reviews talking about the bathroom? Can't believe you're judging your food based on the only part of the restaurant you aren't supposed to eat in, lol. Is it a 5 star establishment with linen napkins, ambient lighting, and valet parking? No. But it doesn't have to be. Everything. Is good. At this place. Coconut cream pie? Yup. Chicken wings? Yup. Open-faced roast beef sandwich? Double yup. Portion sizes are huge, and the sweet tea is the perfect drink to help it go down. Fall in love with the "Lifetime movie" hometown diner, and get your heads out of the toilet. Cheers!

    This is the food we got total for both was abt $26

    Great food, great service the servicer was so nice! Great prices too, it has a homey feel

    Rusted stall from years of urine splatter

    This restaurant is too dirty to be safe. My applesauce was served with the waitress' thumb resting on it. The lock on the men's room stall was broken, and there was an entire swarm of flies living in there. The toilet seat was smeared with feces. Avoid this establishment at all costs.

    Wow Western!

    Well we parked our big truck over at the Arches and walked across the street..sweet! Reading the reviews thought this would be a great place to start our day. Right of 80 here. Although it looked like parking behind bldg but looks kinda uphill when backed in. Today is 5 th July and lots of travelers coming in. It seat your self and they have lots of garden vegis for sale. Zuchinni, squash, cukes yum. Too bad I'm not cooking in the truck lately. They look really good too. We got our drinks right away and ordered. Me a western omelet and rye toast. No potato's yeah!! And they have apple-butter my lucky day. I ordered it with American cheese cause PA Dutch usually has NO cheese. I like something to stick my vegis together. Omg they said in some reviews portions are large.. uh yup they are. But it looked to good and it was!!! Ham, onion, mushrooms, red , green and yellow peppers oh my. Nice n juicy and sweet with the onions and peppers in there. Bf ordered the large chef salad with 1000 natch. It truly was huge and he ate it all. He was joking.." How come when someone else makes it it's so much better than when I make it at Petro??" Huh??? It's the same stuff. Giggles. So all in all our waitress kept coming around with coffee and tea refills for us. We have no idea how many cups we drank... lol. Service great - food great- atmosphere great!! 5 stars all the way here. Do stop!

    Jacked that plate up like a looter in a riot.

    Road trip. Road trip. Road trip. Ok, I went overboard with that but this little place? Am I glad I skipped the golden arches for this place! Place is amazing! No hostess seating. So don't do what I did standing around for 4 minutes with bewildered look on my mug. But I was kindly told by the a nice young lady (I think she might be the Matriarch of Cottage (Family) Restaurant. Just on't quote me on it) you can seat where you like if the table is available. I spotted a corner booth and planted my hangry self ready to scarf some good food! Ordered well, you can see the pic. And the aftermath of my attack. Which only took 13 minutes. Food is freaking delicious! This lands this breakfast in top 3 of BEST breakfasts I've ever had. So, if you're traveling (please don't be a tourist, be a traveler) through these parts, and decide to stop in Lamar, Pa. Do yourself a favour, hit up this spot up! It is right across the overrated Golden Arches! Seating is where ever table is available, remember no hostess will walk you to your table with the menu, if you see a table that needs clearing, don't wait for it to be cleaned...they are limited staff FAMILY type place. Someone will come by super quick and make the table ready to go for you! No worries. Ok, gotta get the rest of the Christmas shopping done! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! And if I don't see you this year, I'll certainly see you next! So yeah, Happy New Year well in advance. Toodles,

    See all
