I love Mexican food, so when I heard that California Tortilla was coming to the area, I was…read moreexcited. Unlike most places downtown, they have a parking lot, so it's easy access too. Since they opened, I've eaten there at least 15 times, never having a bad experience... until last night. Since this is a college town, I generally try to avoid downtown restaurants during the semester because of the crowds. This week, being Thanksgiving, meant that all the restaurants were much less crowded, so I thought California Tortilla would be a good choice for dinner. I went in, noticed there wasn't a single other customer, ate in almost complete silence with nobody around, then left to give blood. My plan was to come back and eat more, but when I came back about 2 hours later, my car was gone. Apparently, they hire a company to monitor their lot and tow cars when they feel like it. The woman apparently went into the restaurant, saw nobody, waited a few minutes, then towed my car. When I got back, I saw my car was gone, and went in to ask. The manager said that the lady outside had towed it, but he didn't know where it was, or what company it was, or who to call. He said nobody from the restaurant called to have it towed, and since there still was only one other car in the lot, he readily remembered that I had been there. I went out to speak with the woman, and she was one of the rudest people I've ever met. She didn't care that I had eaten there, or that I planned to eat there again. She said that as soon as I walked off the premises, the car was in violation and she could tow it. She gave me no information, and when I asked where my car was, she gave me the street address, but no company name or phone number. As soon as I turned around, she drove away. I went back inside and had to Google the street address to find the company and phone number, and called. In the end, I had to pay $7 for my meal, and $190 to get my car back. Absolutely miserable experience.

This review is for take-out as I was TAPPED out after freshman orientation and the heat. Let's…read morestart with why it is 5 stars when I'm going to make some critical comments....the reason? The burger was that good. Because I want to end on a positive, let me start with negatives: the fries were okay. Normally these are a side dish not worth mentioning but this restaurant makes them a star with a fry menu. ( I humbling suggest they try frying in beef tallow to make it a whole other fry experience). The other critical comment is my French onion soup (on take out) was really cold and we weren't late nor (but for the fries) anything else cold. To give you reference, I microwaved for 1 minute and was still cold and did another 1:30. But it was delicious. Now, why 5 stars? The burgers. My son and I both got the Lancaster burger with horseradish mayo on the side and substituting wagyu. It was heaven. It was perfection. We still think and talk about that burger and any food that makes you miss is worth 5 stars!

I wasn't in the mood for going to a sit down restaurant, so fast food it was. Yes, before I get further into this review, this is the infamous McDonald's that so many people wrote (and it appears to be that they are still doing so) bad reviews. So if you see a review with reference to pest control or cleanliness of the restaurant, bypass them. Most of those reviews are from people that are from out of state, probably never been to Pennsylvania, and most certainly have never been to Altoona. Not a dis, just a fact. When we got here, I have to say that the parking lot was really confusing. Even though this sits on the main drag through the area, it abuts a residential neighborhood. I was trying to circle around the lot to head back to the front (it is one-way) I didn't think you could because only looked like the drive thru was the only lane. Not to worry, there is a road, more of the size of an alley, that you can make your way back up around. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine inside. Ordering wise, I chose the kiosk, tapped away at the screen, got a table number and then headed to find a seat. Dining room was decently clean even though it was busy with people. Another note on the dining area, there is a lot of space taken up for things that shouldn't be there. There is one small alcove that has two tables, but not for customers, they have a bunch of stuff there for people to apply to work there, and possible they do job interviews there. Then there is the area towards the bathrooms, large enough to accommodate several people and great enough if you want to be antisocial. However, this area was kind of off limits. You know, the area where said incident took place. The staff seem to have taken up roots here. At the end of my meal I did head back here to use the restroom and almost every table had something on it. Laptops, paperwork, general nonsense items. That way no one could sit in this area. I understand, but if it is a busy and full dining room, customers should come first. As far as the food, the order was almost correct. The prepared items were definitely right, but when our food was brought to the table there were no drinks. When we brought that up the employee asked if we ordered from the kiosk. Obviously we did, why else were you delivering the food to the table, with the table number on it? Also, that shouldn't matter if we ordered at the kiosk or not, either fill the cups in the back and at the least give us our cups. When I did go fill our cups after finally getting them, that was a hassle. We both wanted sweet tea, but the two containers were both nearly empty. It was like I was standing there waiting for the tea to be freshly brewed. For the remainder of the meal, nothing special, it's McDonald's. I still am not the biggest fan, but will make do. I am also fairly sure this location does not warrant the low, fake reviews it currently has.

My garage was so full of tools I couldn't get any work done as I couldn't get to any of them! The trailer I needed was on location but needed ladder racks. First I dealt with the owner first hand. He told me when the racks would arrive 4 days later with great precision. Only he couldn't tell me if they would arrive in the morning or evening of that day. He knew I was pressed to get the trailer and the racks were arriving on a Friday. Unfortunately the racks arrived an hour before close that Friday. The owner called me immediately and said they had arrived. I had an hour and 30 min drive to York. The owner said he would wait up for me to arrive. Now, that is service!!! Not only did he wait up delaying his holiday weekend, but he was as kind as could be when I got there. Service with a smile! Werner Bros comes highly recommended!

It's no secret that at this point I basically belong to the unofficial Hollabaugh Bros. fan club…read more I've reviewed every festival of theirs I've attended this year, and I certainly wasn't about to break the streak for the 36th Annual Peach Festival! Especially because, candidly, it had been a few weeks since my last Hollabaugh festival and I was starting to miss them. This year's Central PA peach crop took a hit from the weather, but Hollabaugh held their annual Peach Festival anyway, complete with peach desserts, samples, live music, vendors, food trucks, wagon rides, games and plenty more. The festival was free to attend with a $5 parking fee benefiting the organizations providing volunteers. I arrived around 1:00 p.m. Saturday and, as usual, everything was incredibly well organized. Helpful parking attendants got me situated quickly, and shuttles were available for anyone who needed some help getting from the parking area to the festival. I weirdly LOVE that Hollabaugh keeps the same general festival layout every time. The creature of habit in me appreciates knowing exactly where I'm going. I know where the samples are. I know where the baked goods are. I know where important business needs to happen. I started in the sample room, where a spicy peach BBQ sauce convinced me it needed to come home for a future dinner. Then it was time for my traditional baked goods counter visit, where I learned that apparently I have officially become a regular. I've developed a habit of buying three festival-themed sugar cakes at every Hollabaugh festival. They normally package six together, but the staff have always kindly split a package for me. This time, one of the women behind the counter RECOGNIZED ME and asked if I was there for my three peach sugar cakes. Umm...YES! I don't know whether to be proud or concerned that I've reached "the bakery staff knows my sugar cake order" status, but I'm choosing proud. While she packaged them, I also grabbed two of the largest carrots I've ever seen for that night's dinner and then headed outside for dessert. Normally, I get the festival-themed milkshake, but this time peach pie à la mode caught my attention. They offered vanilla or peach ice cream on top, but we're at the PEACH FESTIVAL. There was only one correct answer. PEACH ON PEACH. The peach ice cream was TREMENDOUS! Sometimes peach ice cream tastes vaguely fruity and you're supposed to trust everyone involved that peach was the intended flavor. Not this stuff. This tasted like PEACH. The pie underneath was equally fantastic, and I demonstrated impressive personal growth by NOT going back inside and buying an entire one. Please clap for my restraint. Of course, I still had to break into one of my peach sugar cakes. Fluffy, sweet and packed with chunks of peaches. Exactly what I hoped it would be. Tradition successfully maintained! I spent about an hour at the festival, but you could easily make an afternoon of the live music, vendors, food trucks and activities. That's one of the things Hollabaugh does so well. Come for an hour or settle in for the afternoon. Either way, there's plenty to see, eat and enjoy. And I'm realizing there are four things I can apparently count on every single time I come to a Hollabaugh festival. The staff are friendly. Always. The parking and event organization are easy. Always. The property is beautiful. Always. And at some point, I will put something in my mouth that makes me say, "OH MY GOD, THIS IS GOOD!" ALWAYS. Thank you, Hollabaugh Bros., for another fantastic festival and for continuing to create events that are about so much more than selling peaches, apples or baked goods. These festivals give people a reason to gather, support local businesses, try something new, enjoy some great food and spend an afternoon together on a beautiful Adams County farm. I'll obviously be back. At this point, somebody behind the bakery counter is probably already preparing my three sugar cakes.
