Since the buffet went down hill I did order the shrimp pasta and soooo glad I did!! Definitely the best food I have had there including at Helens.

A Hidden Gem Worth Leaving the Turnpike For! After making…read morethe drive between Northern Virginia and Ohio for more than 20 years, we couldn't believe we had never discovered Out of the Fire Café before. Anyone who regularly travels the Pennsylvania Turnpike knows how hard it is to find a truly memorable place to eat. This one is absolutely worth the short detour. The atmosphere is charming, the view is beautiful, and the food exceeded every expectation. We had to try their famous mushroom soup, and even though I'm not normally a mushroom fan, it was hands-down one of the best cups of soup I've ever had. The smoked salmon salad was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon Sandwich special, and every bite was packed with incredible flavor. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home and added to what was already a wonderful dining experience. We finished with the Bananas Foster. While it wasn't the tableside flaming presentation you'd find at a fine-dining restaurant, the flavor was outstanding and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be making Out of the Fire Café a tradition on our future trips. If you're traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike, do yourself a favor and make the stop--you won't regret it!

Even the waitress seemed surprised by how quickly it arrived. I cut into the burger and it was bright red. Complete opposite of well done. I showed the waitress and she took it back. The next burger did not take long to arrive and was well done. It was also burnt with bacon on it (I had requested no bacon). My husband described his burger just as gross and could only eat half (mac n cheese burger). The pot stickers were okay. The sauce was basically soy sauce with crushed red pepper in it. Our waitress was nice and attentive. She did remove the charge for my burger. I definitely will not be back.

I spent a long day tooling around the Laurel Highlands and wanted to get back to Pittsburgh before…read moredark. However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago. What a nice surprise to have such a delicious square meal in a place called Indian Head.

I will say, the crab bisque was delicious and I see why that particular starter is a hit. I also ordered their Pinot Grigio which was tasty. Considering we've ordered similar menu items at comparable restaurants in major cities and paid notably less, we were underwhelmed. Final note that the food quality had nothing to do with the competence of our servers, every staff member and our waiter were very pleasant and personable. The atmosphere is cozy, classy, and historic as could be expected. Just definitely something off with the food and those prices. If you're looking into dinner here because you think the $$$ is a reflection of quality, I would say maybe reconsider!

Staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The food was good, flavorful; but some of my dinner was overcooked and served not as hot as it should have been. At $60+ per entree, I expect perfect. I would go back as the overall experience was good.

A friend and I golfed in Somerset and in returning back to the Pittsburgh area were looking for something to eat. I suggested HillBilly's as I stated previously, has been something I wanted to try. It has a fun vibe with ceramic characters and animals throughout. The entrance included a gift shop with fun Hillbilly merch, the bottom floor that was more of a standard dining area, the second floor includes a bar and a decent stage area, as well as a decent deck/outside patio area. When we visited karaoke was going on. We ordered drinks and as for food, my friend ordered the pot roast, which he really liked. I got the meatloaf sandwich, which I liked as well. It was meatloaf smothered with pimento between two slices of Texas toast Service was fine. They were busy and it was loud, but we were well taken care of.

The music is great, the ambiance is like a log cabin, and the draft beer is delicious. It's exactly what you'd want in an apres ski spot. The only negative is that it's (for good reason) quite popular & they don't have enough seating for the crowds. Positives: ambiance, beer, good music, walk-ins Negatives: limited seating, too crowded Must order: draft beer (shock top!)

No trip to Seven Springs is complete without a stop at Summit Diner. It creates the eternal…read moredilemma: hit the slopes for first chair or settle in for a Summit breakfast? If you follow my reviews, you know I'm a fan of old-school diners, the classics, and honest home-cooked food. Summit hits all three marks, serving straightforward and delicious American standards since the 1960s. The three-egg omelet loaded with veggies and sausage was exactly the pre-ski power-up I needed. My son stuck with his go-to breakfast burrito, and my daughter went with the classic two eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was spot on. The staff has just the right level of "WWA"--Waitresses With Attitude. They are perfectly polite, but they hold the line on proper behavior and will quickly put anyone in their place if they step out of line. It keeps the environment grounded and authentic. A few tips for your visit: * Seating: Expect to wait for a table in the lobby or outside during peak hours. * Payment: Bring your wallet--this is a cash-only establishment.

They staff is fast and friendly and the food doesn't disappoint. It's such a rare thing in this day and age to see an old diner so we love to go when we are visiting Somerset. We typically go for breakfast. The next time you're in the area it's definitely a must stop place to go. Give them a try and you may have to wait to be seated they also only accept cash as their only form of payment so come prepared, they do have a ATM in the waiting area.
