Stopped in to Mama Doe's restaurant at the Shiloh Resort in Clarington, PA (SR 36) just south of…read moreCook Forest State Park. First of let me tell you it is tucked in of the road. We went for the breakfast buffet. The restaurant is in the center of The Shiloh Resort campground. When we arrived (Saturday @ 11:00 am) there was an empty parking lot and only one other table seated. Now I was a little worried. Mid July and only one other table, what gives? I am normally the one to try and support mom and pops but I was a little apprehensive. We decided to take a chance at $6.95 it was worth a shot. And I am so glad we did. Mama Doe greeted us immediately with a warm smile. Everyone was very attentive. I loved the fact that they didn't load up the buffet pans to let items sit. Everything came out fresh. The Buffet Scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs with peppers onion cheese and tomato (and a hint of curry if I'm not mistaken), those eggs were delicious. Next sliced potato home fries with onion, perfectly browned. Thin sliced bacon (I like mine thicker, but it was ok) and savory sausage links browned to perfection). Thick sliced French toast, this was sweet with a touch of nutmeg I believe. I hope I am not giving away Mama Doe's secrets. Pancakes were light and fluffy. The biscuits were fresh and warm. The sausage gravy was ok, I prefer crumbled sausage. After breakfast, we struck up a conversation with Ray and Doe and the other patrons. Ray & Doe told us about the history of the resort. Then offered a tour of the place. It is a beautiful campground with a chapel, restaurant, main lodge, cabins, and camping areas. Right between Cook Forest State Park and Clear Creek State Park. I know we will be visiting again.

Weird, I'm not a drinker. When I arrived, I asked for the drink coupons so that I could get a soda and they said they never said that. The room had such a moldy, musty smell and the beds are only queen sized. There is ONE bed in the room. Not two. The outdoor area is overrun with bugs. The parking lot is not paved, so dragging your luggage across the rocks and then carrying it up a flight of steps wasn't easy.

Servers in long pants and hoodies. Patrons who had sweaters had them on. Salad bar pretty typical. Hot food bar not open. Hot food bar open only on the weekends. My adult children recently ate at the hot food bar and said it was delicious. Our server was young and inexperienced and could use more trading. I ordered a cheesesteak and fries which was large and delicious. I didn't get my mayo and had to track down our server because she never checked on us after delivering our food. I asked for mayo and she brought me 1 packet for this humongous sandwich. Had to track her down for drink refills also. She was very nice and we still tipped her well, but like I said she could definitely use more training. It wasn't busy at all. Us and 2 other tables were filled. Other people started coming in while we were leaving. Hubby had country fried steak. All food was delicious. Had to ask for check to pay. We then sat on rocking chairs on porch laughing about restaurant Patrons coming out of restaurant to their cars to fetch sweaters and jackets. Then we walked around the corner and had soft serve ice cream with chocolate sprinkles which was delicious! Would go again and would recommend. Bring a sweater and check after server brings food thay you have everything you need before she walks away!

I wasn't sure if they did carry out and the contact us was an email. On a holiday weekend I really wasn't optimistic I'd hear anything. But in a few short minutes Jeremy responded and said they do carry out orders unless there is a line waiting, then they couldn't promise. He gave a number to call for ordering. Upon calling the staff was friendly and helpful and said they would wait to put our order in as we were 30 min out and wanted our food hot. It was ready on arrival and were also able to get carry out beer. She included plastic ware in case we needed it. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back if we were in the area again. Thanks for a great fast experience.

Keep it small and great. We both ordered burgers. I ordered a classic burger with blue cheese and bacon with fries and beer cheese. The other condiments came out in containers to put on yourself. This is what every brewery needs to do. My wife ordered the smokehouse burger with fries and beer cheese and loved it. I started off with their signature IPA which was solid. We ordered a flight to share that had a lager which was mid, a cider that I loved. The other two were very good. I know college is out of session and the town might be a little slow, and it was a Sunday but the town is adorable and the food here is fantastic. They also have a bar to the left past the restaurant which had sports and a really good vibe with the locals.

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!
