Upgrade from the chips to the fries - they are crunchy and delicious. For dessert, we tried the brownie peppermint cheesecake. The portion was HUGE, def enough for multiple people.

I LOVE this place…read more I came here all the time for their various bowls. This place looks like a typical diner, but it is actually one of the most innovative restaurants in the Lewisburg area. It gets really crowded around lunch on the weekends so there can be a wait of up to an hour. Get here early around 11-11:30 to beat the wait. There is no dinner service and it closes early in the afternoon. Service is very good for a diner and they always check on customers and refill water regularly. There are so many options of food from traditional breakfast dishes, lunch bowls with interesting twists, and a lot of smoothie and juice options. I have tried nearly all their bowls, and I love their Korean and carne asada bowls. Milkshakes are also solid here. I had the cannoli once and it was massive. This can be a treat on its own.

I veered off the interstate a few miles into the town of Lock Haven, thinking it was the town in that Daniel Clowes book, driving around in my delirium trying to find that huge rock. But no, that's Ice Haven, and this is Pennsylvania. Why is this place called Texas? Is there a sister restaurant in Texas called Pennsylvania Lunch? They have something here called "The Growler"-- or is that just my stomach? Prices and service right out of a 1950s Amish Archies comic book. If there is/was such a thing. I need to get some sleep. Since 1918, they say. Was this the only thing in Lock Haven in 1918, and they built the town around it? Maybe the early settlers thought that THIS was Texas, the way they thought the USA was India, without GPS's and all. There's got to be a story here, but Ohio is on the horizon.

My family has roots in the area going back decades (even centuries) and this restaurant is part of that history. I understand it's been around for ~100 years, and many of my older family members, mostly relatives who have since passed away, have enjoyed meals here over the years (think 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s...) My parents remembered eating here more than 20 years ago for the famous hot dogs and burger dogs, so we knew we had to make a pit stop. We ordered three hot dogs, a burger dog, onion rings, and a soda. Everything was good, filling, and ~ perhaps most impressively ~ incredibly affordable. There was something really special about sitting there and knowing my family had done the same thing generations before me. :) It brought back a lot of good memories and gave the meal a feeling that you just can't recreate at a newer restaurant or even in a hustling and bustling city. The location right in the middle of downtown Lock Haven is great, and we had no trouble finding parking even during a busy 12:00 Friday lunch hour. Our service wasn't necessarily the friendliest (not rude or anything - just straight and to the point), but honestly, there was something about that that almost made the experience better. It felt like a true old-school diner experience. Hah! I can only imagine the stories these walls could tell. A great little piece of local Lock Haven history, and I'm so glad we stopped in. PS - They prefer cash, and the restrooms are very small/probably hard to navigate for someone with serious motor issues and maybe not feasible if in a wheelchair

Wow pretty spectacularly terrible. The waitress asks if i wanted toast with the meal. The toast came out totally burned, she had no problem serving it. Took good 5 minutes for fresh toasts, this time, barely toasted at all. Salmon was dry, skillet was warm at best. Terrible serving. And last grace i received was that she still managed to charge for the toast. Omg lol read more

After…read moremissing an exit on the highway that led to what appeared to be a neat little mom-n-pop restaurant, we settled for the quirky and bucolic Buckhorn Family Restaurant. Situated inside the Milesburg, PA Travel Center of America (the trucker's Wal-Mart). I have to wonder if Buckhorn is a chain in itself for the food certainly had that quality. Regrettably passing on their Father's Day special of BBQ Ribs (their head chef's signature dish), I went for their Tex Mex Philly Quesadillas, and was slightly put off by the overcooked, grey meat, the unmelted, shredded cheddar, and limp steak fries. A sort of "frisco sauce" (a chipotle aioli?) livened them up somewhat, however, as did a dill pickle. Kay's fatty, crisped to a T, and therefore perfect fried chicken had me lamenting my poor choice. Had I gone with the fried chicken myself, I might have bumped up Buckhorn to a rock solid 4. Our server mentioned that their apple cobbler is the only dessert they make in-house, and did it ever taste that way. Crumbly, fruity, volcanic, the cobbler was served a la mode in a crock, and had me nearly singing the National Anthem due to its sheer scrumptiousness and magnanimous portion. The service was very friendly and on target. Refills came without asking. Our dishes arrived before we had time to become impatient. Eh, I shoulda ordered those ribs, though. Damn it. P.S. We ate so well at Buckhorn, we needed no further sustenance until the following morn. That must count for something. Consider my rating a high 3. If I ever return, I will try those ribs or that chicken.

This was, by far, some of the worst food I have ever eaten. I still gag just thinking about it…read more We were up looking at properties in the State College area and were STARVING by the time dinner rolled around. We decided to skip fast food and eat at the truck stop restaurant because they're usually decent and fast. We were wrong. I ordered a chopped steak with grilled onions and broccoli. I ordered it medium rare. It took forever to come to the table. The inside of the meat was cold. Which I might overlook because I did order it on the rare side. HOWEVER, when your meat is undercooked it is usually pink on the inside. This steak was mushy and gray. Which means the uncooked meat was gray, not pink, and was probably well past it's prime. My husband's steak was also cold (but at least it was pink on the inside). I ended up eating the broccoli (which was watery) and the onions. They offered to cook my meat longer, but it obviously was just stuffed in a microwave and after three trips for more cooking I was the proud owner of a very over cooked, microwaved piece of chopped beef. Barf. The kids also hated their food. She ordered spaghetti and he ordered chicken nuggets. He would only eat them after I peeled the coating off (it was nasty, hard, and tasted bad). She ate the spaghetti but didn't like the meatballs which happened to look like little round brown sponges that resembled dog poops when you cut the meatballs in half. These are kids that grew up in an orphanage on the other side of the world. They are not picky eaters. When they don't eat something you know that something is horribly wrong. At least they took my meat off the bill (I only ate about 5 bites - most of which I took to taste the temperature when they brought it back from the microwave). Ugh . . . Ugh . . . Ugh!
