Peña's Place is a small restaurant that was located up the street from our cabin. It's situated…read moreright at the roundabout with a small parking lot. The inside is small and I was greeted with a warm welcome from the waitress. I placed a to go order and got a breakfast burrito and western omelette with ham. I chose home fries as a side for both and ordered 2 cups or orange juice. While the service was great, I wasn't impressed with the food. My omelette was on the dry side and the cheese wasn't melted nor on the entire omelette, it was off to one side. My husband said his burrito was ok and the salsa was good. The home fries were dry and not hot. The orange juice was also very watered down. It appears that it may be better to dine in here and try other dishes as some people rave about this eatery.

I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious. My daughters also ordered burgers and really enjoyed theirs. My son ordered fish (cod) and chips and thought it was decent. Hubby ordered an all meat scramble and enjoyed it though he didn't anticipate the sausage to be ground. A texture thing. My younger kiddos split a chicken strip plate and it was large enough. The waitress brought out an extra plate and that was appreciated. Me and my kiddos ordered juice and it was room temperature. Is that normal? Eh, I don't know. But we asked for a cup of ice on the side and they graciously brought it out to cool our beverages. You pay at the counter after the waiter brings you your receipt. Upon delivery of our receipt, the waitress informed us that the gratuity was not included. I found it a little tacky and like she was ensuring her tip. I always tip (even for poor service), so that put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. It was a nice hearty meal before our hike. I would eat here again and probably order the burger without juice lol. There seems to be a consistent line out the door, so plan to wait some. They close at 2 pm, as they're only open for breakfast and lunch, so plan accordingly.

I'd thought they were closed....For the past THREE Years!?! So I drove around to the back to see if…read morethe restaurant had burned down, or WHAT? They'd forgotten to turn the "OPEN" sign on!

Same plastic ware, same good food, same TV, and dog friendly deck.

It took 15 mins for the Spanish gentleman to package the lady in front of me's food bu picking things out of the other dinners snd putting in the lady's bag . I pay, go home no gravy on chicken fried steak, no roll, no salad, my wife's bbq plat ha no bread snd no beans. What a disappointment. . Go back 7/4 call in 2 handheld breakfast burritos bacon and green They charged my wife over $24.00 Added $7.00 for smothered green because it was green sauce instead of chopped green. You gotta be kidding me! Think i've spent enough money at that place for a while. New owners & new staff snd people on the register on Friday nite who don't speak english snd just throwing crap in a bag! There's alot of new places and old who care a whole lot more about customer service !
