    Deer Creek Diner is a local restaurant that is open for breakfast and lunch seven days per week. Breakfast foods include combos (with eggs, meats, home fries, and toast), several flavors of omelets (e.g., pierogi and Mexican), several flavors of huge pancakes (e.g., banana-walnut and peanut-butter-jelly), several flavors of French toast (e.g., pecan-banana and apple-butter), biscuit and gravy, breakfast burrito, etcetera. Lunch foods include several flavors of burgers (e.g., mushroom-Swiss and blue-cheese), several specialty sandwiches (e.g., reuben, chicken-parmesan, and fish), hotdog, meatloaf, pot roast, salads, wraps, quesadillas, etcetera. My husband and I ate one breakfast here. We could sit at a table of our own choosing. Our waitress served us promptly and politely. We enjoyed the old-school diner decor. A band played music outdoors. I ate half of a pizza-sized (huge!) triple-berry pancake, and my husband ate a Lorraine omelet (bacon, Swiss cheese, and onions) with home fries, toast, and chocolate milk. We very much enjoyed the flavors of everything.

    100% hidden gem! When the pancake was brought out to me I said 'that's as big as my steering wheel'. The waitress commented 'driving right in to nap time'. Unless you are up for the personal challenge not need to order a stack of pancakes! One is enough. Even if your are a football player! Omelette-Mexican was delish. The crème brûlée French toast was a game changer. Delish typical French Toast with the crunchy glaze that just made it taste 1000% better. Do go and go hungry! Also expect to bring a to go box home! It's a lovely little diner.

    I got the reuben and it was delicious, however i recommend getting fries instead of the chips because they were quite chewy and not chip like. Service was good although she didn't really check up on us too much. And the place on the outside is beautiful! Same with the inside it gives very much old diner vibes!

    I have been out this way many times over the past seven years but until this week never had the pleasure of dining here. I liked it so much for lunch on Wednesday, that I came back for breakfast on Thursday, and by today (Friday morning) I was basically a regular haha! The staff is super friendly and engaging, the atmosphere is great, and the food... well the food isn't only delicious, it's enough to feed a family. I was actually really apologetic that I couldn't finish yesterdays meal but I was told that food scraps ended up being used on a pig farm and not simply trashed. Whether or not that's true, it made me feel better. Now about today's meal... it was supposed to be 2 eggs, bacon, home fries and a small pancake. I don't have particularly small hands but I put one in the photo so you can see what their definition of "small" pancake is. Then the other photo is the biscuits and sausage gravy I had yesterday, which was also of a size that puts the cheesecake factory's famously large portions to shame. If you're in the area to fish or play disc golf, I can't help but give a huge recommendation to this small local business!

    Wexford Public is a local, family-owned restaurant that offers lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch for…read moredining in and takeout. They also offer catering. Examples of menu items are appetizers (e.g., shrimp cocktail and nachos), soups, salads, wings, burgers, flatbreads, entrees (e.g., pasta primavera, chicken, duck, pork chop, swordfish, and A-5 wagyu), desserts (e.g., limoncello and cheesecake), and drinks (e.g., mocktails, cocktails, wines, whiskeys, and beers). My husband and I have eaten here twice--once for lunch last year and once for dinner this year. Both times, we enjoyed the employees' service and the foods. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Passionfruit-Paloma Mocktail - 4 stars - sour. Spring Sangria - 4.5 stars - slightly fruity. Jumbo Pretzel - 5 stars - huge size with beer cheese and mustard sauce. French Onion Soup - 5 stars - This soup had a rich broth, onions, and cheese. Ybor Cuban sandwich - 4.5 stars - nicely crunchy toast with tasty pork, ham, and Swiss cheese and a side of crispy onion rings. Salmon - 5 stars - I ordered this entree both times. The salmon was perfectly cooked and came with flavorful farro grains, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus. Filet Mignon - 5 stars - This 8-ounce steak was cooked mid-rare as my husband prefers. It came with whipped potatoes and his choice of au poivre style (black pepper crusted with bourbon cream).

    Excellent Food in a Family-Owned Spot, But Transparency, Noise, and a Few Service Touches Need…read morePolishing (4/5 Overall)** I visited Wexford Public (12087 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA) recently for dinner with my family, drawn by its reputation as a locally owned, chef-driven American restaurant in the heart of Wexford. Owned by longtime locals John and Melanie Dober, it positions itself as a warm, community-focused spot blending upscale comfort food with a welcoming vibe--think handcrafted sandwiches, premium Black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, flatbreads, and daily specials, all with thoughtful wine and bourbon selections. We were excited for what promised to be a polished neighborhood gem, and in many ways, it delivered. The food was genuinely great and the clear highlight. Our dishes were flavorful, well-executed, and creative without being fussy--fresh ingredients shone through, portions were generous, and everything arrived hot and beautifully plated. It's easy to see why so many reviewers rave about the crab cakes, steaks, and chef specials; the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. This is elevated American fare that feels special yet approachable, and we'd happily return just for the meals. That said, a few aspects fell short and left us feeling the overall experience wasn't quite as seamless as the food deserved. First and foremost, the billing transparency issue was disappointing. They add a 3% bank/credit card processing fee to the check (which adds up quickly on a family dinner), but this isn't disclosed on the menu, at the table, or in any obvious way during the ordering process. There's only a small sign posted outside the restaurant. We only noticed it when the bill arrived, and it felt like an afterthought rather than a clear policy. In an era where many restaurants are upfront about surcharges (or absorb them), this lack of disclosure came across as sneaky and detracted from the otherwise positive value perception. The atmosphere was another mixed bag. The space itself is attractive--soft lighting, comfortable seating, and that friendly "upscale brew pub" energy the owners aim for. However, it was noticeably noisy during our evening visit. Conversations required raised voices, especially as the dining room filled up, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal fully. OpenTable rates the noise as "moderate," but on our night it tipped louder than that, possibly due to the layout or lack of sufficient sound absorption. A bit more attention to acoustics could make a big difference. Service was mostly attentive and efficient, but the management interaction stood out in a negative way. When we politely mentioned the surprise fee at the end of the meal, the response was an apology that felt scripted and insincere--like it had been delivered many times before without real follow-through or ownership. It didn't leave us feeling heard or valued as guests. On a brighter note, the owners John and Melanie genuinely come across as lovely people. The restaurant has that personal, homegrown touch you can sense even when they're not physically present, and locals speak highly of them. They were absent during our nighttime visit, though, which is understandable for owners juggling a busy operation--but their warmth is missed when the front-of-house team is handling everything solo. In summary, Wexford Public excels where it matters most: the food is consistently excellent and worth the trip on its own. The family-owned charm and diverse menu make it a strong neighborhood choice for special occasions, casual dinners, or even happy hour in the cocktail bar. However, clearer communication about the credit card fee (ideally on the menu or bill upfront), better noise management, and more authentic handling of guest concerns would elevate it from very good to outstanding. We'll likely go back for the cuisine, but with tempered expectations on the finer details. If you're in the Wexford area and prioritize great American plates, it's still a solid recommendation--just check the small print before you pay.

I'm generally easygoing, but when it comes to food, coffee, and cocktails...I'm a bit of a pain and particular. That said, I was absolutely blown away by this place. I love that they source their meat and veggies from local farms; the difference in quality is obvious. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtful.
