Fast treating and the hot beverage was dropped with moments of sitting, and the food followed writhing 20 minutes of entering the diner. For breakfast I had a a delightful cup of coffee and the chipped beef on a bed of home fries. The chipped beef and gravy was relatively bland and didn't carry much of a salty or savory flavors and the consistency was a gooey base. The home fries were sliced and cooked perfectly. Small town diners are always warm and welcoming. The wait staff always knows the locals and the locals always know the staff. The banter ensues and the long laughs break out!!

Today, a coworker and I visited and I had a cowboy burger -- pretty simple burger but it was amazing and I'm not sure what made it so tasty. Cowboy burger has an onion ring, two thick-sliced tomatoes, a piece of lettuce, and crispy bacon. I asked for the barbecue sauce on the side. Plenty of terrific fries came with my burger. My coworker had the turkey club and said it was delicious. Neighbors on our sides had cheesteaks that looked -- and they said tasted -- amazing. This is a popular spot at lunch and sometimes, like today, there's a slight wait for a table but it's worth it. The kitchen is small and there were at least five people in there whipping up basic but tremendous tasting food. I'll be back ... probably the year after next for another great meal.

We ordered our drinks and appetizers- cheesesteak egg rolls and fried Brussels sprouts. These were fabulous! My husband had one of the brewery beers, Fashionably Light. He loved it. Kept saying it was like his favorite beer, Michelob Ultra. The cocktails missed the mark with my son and his girlfriend. James switched to beer, but Anna ordered the orange crush cocktail and really loved it. Snitztoberfest has started so I tried the Winer schnitzel. It did not transport me back to Germany. I was a bit disappointed, it was just ok. My son and husband enjoyed their burgers and Anna's chicken tacos were good (although she commented that she didn't expect them to be cold).

I had GF blueberry pancakes with a side order of scrambled eggs (to avoid a carb coma) and they were delicious! My friends got the Farmer's Skillet and the (gluten-full) pancakes and said both were incredibly good as well. Our servers were great and they kept us posted on our orders which were slightly delayed due to a very large party whose orders had gone in before ours. Fortunately they kept us stocked with coffee and tea and we chatted away until our orders came up. If you are in the area (or reasonably close) definitely check them out!

This place feels familiar, welcoming, and comforting in the best way. My go-to orders are either the breakfast quesadilla (which is huge and packed with veggies) or the mushroom omelette, both consistently delicious and filling. The food is always good, always hot, and somehow comes out crazy fast usually within 10 minutes of ordering. The service is what really sets this place apart. We always ask for Charla, and she is hands down the best. She remembers our order every time and often meets us at the table with coffee already poured. She knows her regulars, treats everyone like family, and makes every visit feel personal. A quick honest note: right now, some of the booths and tables are a little run down, but they're actively working on opening new building right next door, so it's clear they're building toward something bigger and brighter. It's absolutely not a deal breaker the heart of the place, the food, and the people are what matter, and those are solid. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is classic hometown diner. If you want fast, reliable breakfast with genuine care behind it, Cedar Grill is it.

Let me tell you that Quentin Tavern, You've outdone yourself Stopped by Quentin Tavern in Lebanon, PA (81 W Main St), and let me just say - the Sweet BBQ Baby Back Rib Dinner was out of this world. These ribs were marinated in a rich, sweet BBQ sauce and slow-cooked to perfection - fall-off-the-bone tender and bursting with flavor in every bite. Served up with crispy golden french fries and creamy coleslaw, this meal hit every comfort food craving. Also ordered their "Soup of the day," which was Country chicken soup. This soup wasn't just good -it was next level. Packed with tender chunks of chicken, flavorful rice, and just the right amount of spice, every spoonful felt like a warm hug. Rich, savory broth with a homemade taste that hits the soul. Perfectly hearty, deeply satisfying, and totally crave-worthy. lf you're anywhere near Lebanon, do ourself a favor and stop t by.

A real…read morefire crackled in the stone fireplace in the lounge, and we were ushered into a charming stone dining room that felt like stepping back in time. The building itself clearly carries history -- I actually had to duck slightly to pass through the low stone archway leading to our table. It added to the character and intimacy of the space. We started with the tuna tartare, which was a standout. I'm "that aunt" in the family -- the one who encourages the kids to try new things -- and this dinner was my monthly outing with my nephew. So yes, raw tuna hit the table. It turned out to be the perfect introduction. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and approachable, it made trying something new feel effortless. A total win. He ordered chicken nuggets, and while that might sound simple, they were clearly house-made, fresh-cut, and thoughtfully prepared. For chicken nuggets, they were excellent. My scallops, unfortunately, didn't quite land for me. The accompanying preparation felt overly complex and ended up overpowering the natural delicacy of the scallops. That said, the menu offers plenty of other intriguing options, and I'd absolutely return to explore more. Service throughout the evening was kind, attentive, and prompt -- exactly what you hope for during a relaxed dinner out. Overall, a warm, character-filled spot with standout starters and welcoming staff. Looking forward to the next visit.

You get charged if you want to substitute instead of chips but Tiny Tim wouldn't be satisfied with that side salad. And to piggy back on that my "large" house salad with added grilled chicken was the same portion as that tiny side salad but with a grilled chicken with it. Look at the older photos and you can see the difference on the side salad. Like I know they buy premade salad. Add a little more at least to the "large" salad. The crab cake looked about the same as the other and still tasted good to my husband. So they still charge you the full price of a side salad to substitute and just add it in the price. So it would be easier to get a salad on the side and get what they give you. We are spending our money to dine at least make it worth it. The last 4 pictures show our charges. Our waitress was nice and the food is good but not for those prices. Shame on you bluebird for the salad portions and not letting patrons know there isn't a discount on substituting your sides.
