A snippet of the dining area

I never expect much when pulling off the highway to grab lunch or dinner. Howe Restaurant is amazing! Angelo, the owner and chef, greeted us as we came in. He arrives at 2:30 am to get the soup going. It's a tomato soup with orzo and Greek spices - it's amazing. Try the soup!!!! Our server, P, gave us samples since we'd never heard of it. Our dinners were all fresh and delicious. Angelo said he makes everything from scratch. You can taste it. The meats and desserts are delivered from Chicago, he's very selective about his ingredients. Highly recommend stopping by the next time you're on interstate 80. Warning - it will NOT be a fast stop, Angelo is very talkative. But it's totally worth it!!

Small family restaurant. Clean and well maintained. Appears to have employees that care. Lunch , I started with a cup of chili. Good not great , could have been hotter. Then a large salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was cold , so not fresh . Salad was very good and a large portion.

a cup of water and a fork on a table

This is the PERFECT small town diner. We came off the toll road looking for breakfast and Howe Restaurant filled the bill. Table service was excellent and the food was very good. This is a small restaurant in a small town. I expect there's a wait on the weekends. Five stars.

Half cooked/half not

We have heard nothing but great reviews about this place & looked forward to trying them! My husband picked up a pizza on his way home one evening and upon opening the box (at home)- the pizza looked strange. Literally half was cooked & half was undercooked. Toppings separated from the pizza crust. Very unappetizing and neither of us could finish. We called and were told that when my husband came in for breakfast the next day with a group- he would be refunded. Angelo was there and honored the refund & told us that next time we should ask for him to specifically make it. Unfortunately, we had no desire for another. My husband had a large breakfast & thought it was decent. Typical diner food. Recently at a family dinner, 3 more pizzas were ordered from here. While the pizzas actually seemed evenly cooked this time- we still didn't like them! We ended up with stomach aches. We have no desire to go back.

Not good enough to finish. Lousy fries!

Packed and dangerous to pull out of the parking lot, and the food is mediocre. Sharp service, with a small town diner feel.

Dining in a private Amish home is an incredible experience that ought to be on everyone's bucket…read morelist. This place was recommended to us not by a tourist but by a friendly relative of the Amish owner, Brenda Slabaugh (everyone in this settlement is close-knit). Like other in-home dining venues, the spacious room also serves as a social gathering and worship place for the Amish. Nearly everything in the huge kitchen is prepared from scratch and served family-style. The fixed menu includes bread, salad, chicken, roast beef, noodles, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, and assorted pies. Everything we tasted was phenomenal. Homemade peanut butter and jam, spread on fresh-baked bread, were ethereal. The 'colorific' salad was colorful indeed and tossed in a savory vinaigrette. White meat chicken fingers and dark meat were breaded and baked (not fried) to perfection. The beef (pot roast, perhaps) was fork-tender and juicy. All of the side dishes and pies were just as wonderful. Brenda and family members who helped her prepare and serve the meal were friendly and attentive to our needs, and happy to answer questions about Amish lifestyle and customs. Of course, a 'modern' restroom is available. This business is aimed at large parties and tour groups, but it's available to smaller parties on Wednesday evenings. Advance reservations are required

Great homemade food from wonderful people! Amazing hospitality. Also bought bread to take home.read more

It was pretty busy but we got right in and was seated in the porch area even though it was fairly chilly outside. They had heaters that kept us pretty warm. We did not get appetizers but we all loved our meals. I got the Texas Toast and added a smashburger which I highly recommend. I wouldn't have liked it without as it would have only had bacon as the meat on it and it wouldn't have been enough. Fairly cheap sandwich even with the added burger and it was delicious! Pretty spicy with the jalepenos but great with the Texas toast. My son got the Tavern Burger and added the Yeye sauce. He said it was OK, but the sauce wasn't as special as he was hoping. He'd get something else next time my mom for the pork chop wktb Brussels and loved hers. My wife got smothered chicken... Without the mushrooms (who does that??) and liked hers. 3 of us got the Brussel sprouts as sides and they were on point! Definitely don't go here and not get them. On top of great meals, my mom mentioned that we were celebrating my bday and the server offered us a slice of heaven (Samoan Cheesecake) for free! Amazing. Great time and great place. Go there!
