    10/28/23 This diner is under new ownership...formerly Plain & Simple Diner. We stopped in for a late lunch. We waited about 35 minutes for a table as they were very busy. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich ($12) which came with one side. I chose onion rings. I skipped the soft drinks ($3.00) as I don't care for Coke products. My food was tasty. I would visit again but maybe not on a Saturday.

    Lives up to the name. Nice simple place with a hidden dining room. We ordered a few simple items and all were just as expected. We would return for the sweet potato fries with sweet butter...they were delicious. Chili was ok, kinda soupish. Salad was messed up but they replaced promptly. Server was friendly and kind. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick, simple bite to eat.

    The food is good, but nothing fancy. Everything was fresh, except the onion rings-definitelyfrozen. The burgers and fish are excellent. My wife loved the fried mushrooms. The service was great. The price was very reasonable. The decor is basic.

    Chili dog with onions and chili sauce was delicious!!

    What a great little diner. We stopped in to get some lunch while visiting Amish country, and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was fresh and really warm When it came to the table. The onion rings were delicious and crispy! The waitress was attentive and quickly refilled our drinks! I would recommend this sweet little diner to anyone!

    Came to spend a day in Berlin and ate in this diner. The service and food was excellent. I ordered the turkey club with potato wedges and was mouth watering. Prices are reasonable.

    The food was not that good, especially for the price. It didn't help that they charge the same price for a tap water as a fountain drink.

    Be aware that this is a cash only place but they have an ATM on site…read more Decide to try this place as it was close to our hotel and I am so glad we did. This is an old style diner with some counter seating and quite a few tables. They do not take names, so you just have to stand in line and wait your turn to be seated. This process was different for us but it went really well as we had probably 3-4 small groups ahead of us but were seated within less than 10 minutes. The service was very timely but not overbearing. We had drinks and our order taken probably with 5 minutes of being seated which was very nice. We got our food within probably 10-12 minutes of ordering which I thought was really good given how busy it was. As for the food, it was all very good. I had the biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, hash browns and a sausage patty all of which was very good. The sausage is their own recipe which was a little less seasoned than most but it was a very good patty. My wife had her usual eggs over easy, bacon and toast and she liked it all. The bacon was a thicker cut applewood smoked which was tremendous (she let me try it). We may try it for lunch or dinner if/when in the area again. I would definitely recommend this for breakfast if you are in the area.

This is a typical pub style place solid bar scene with tvs and a lot of space. We sat down for some beers and food. We ordered veggie egg rolls for an appetizer which were pretty good. The blackened chicken Alfredo was pretty good as well. Not overly cheesy like some store bought ones. Boneless chicken was normal. The fries were different. Think wedges but thin. They were crispy and seasoned. Can't complain. The flatbread was small but the flavor was there. I have to say the service wasn't good. We ordered apps. And she didn't ask if we were ever ready to order. I had to wave her down. The chicken was wrong but again still good. She didn't acknowledge it or us really. I had to literally get her attention if we wanted something. Maybe she could tell we were from out of town, but she could've made a lot more off of us if she touched base with us a couple of times. For instance. We ordered a mock tail for my daughter. She finished the drink before her food came. We wanted to order a sprite and she didn't come back until she was completely done eating. Kids don't eat very fast. I'll probably try somewhere else for food and maybe stop for a 6er on the way out of town if I come back.

I started with a salad from the salad bar, and was really happy that the lettuces, eggs, broccoli, everything, was chopped into really small pieces. I really like a well chopped salad, even if it's silly. For my hot dishes, I had the broasted chicken, mashed potatoes, noodles, and a couple of bits of other things. The chicken was really moist with nice skin, and I enjoyed the noodles over the potatoes with some gravy. They had a lot of chicken available, and the pieces were really generous. There was at least one beef dish, and I also saw macaroni and cheese, which is not my first choice, but is popular. The restaurant offers a discount on pie with the buffet, but none of us wanted any more food! Overall, a good experience, and everyone was happy when we left.

You can choose buffet or order off the menu. We chose menu. I got a bologna and Swiss sandwich on wheat with a side of noodles. The noodles were full of flavor. The Swiss is local from Guggisberg, which I appreciated. The bologna was thick and had great flavor. And the bread if homemade. So all in all, the quality is superb. I just felt like overall it was lacking. Needed some finesse, maybe some other topping offerings.

This is a rustic and relaxed style of restaurant, and the steaks are impeccably cooked and they are quite delicious as well as the side dishes.

The staff here are super friendly and often check back on their tables as would be expected.
