I've visited the Rail Road Diner whenever I'm in town which isn't often but I've probably had six…read moreor seven meals here over the past 12 years or so -- they have all been great. 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.

I was gobsmacked to see "Liver and Onion," which was the bane of my childhood. Yuck! I asked whether people actually ordered it, and apparently it's quite popular. Amazing. There are NO gluten-free bread, pasta, or baked dessert items. So I ordered a Monterey Chicken Sandwich with no bread, and a side of fruit salad, to go. Got back to the hotel, and there was a very thin piece of chicken breast topped with a huge piece of ham and melted cheese, accompanied by naked lettuce, tomato, and a slice of onion. Sigh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. And there was no fruit salad. I called them and said that I didn't get it, and could I please pick it up in the morning? They very graciously said yes. Looked at my receipt, and no side was listed. That's why I didn't get it--he didn't note the order. I didn't want fries because I had some at lunch. This is a real middle-America diner. Nothing fancy, except the desserts, which looked incredibly delicious and made me sad. The salad bar was kind of scary. Lots of goopy things drenched in white stuff. Not a lot of healthy raw veggies, although there were empty bins that may have held them earlier. It's a nicely-decorated place, and they have GNOMES!! I didn't go in the lounge area, since I just got takeout and went back to the hotel. Service was very nice, polite, and friendly.

Seeing her in this condition did not entice our appetites! Second, two of us ordered pancakes. The pancakes were so thick and dry the fake maple syrup was soaked up like a sponge! They were HORRIBLE!!! Third, the sausage was also quite disgusting- greasy and filled with fat. Fourth, the sloppy waitress had an attitude. I actually told her maybe she should look into another line of work. Fifth, the pork roll was sooooo thick....GROSS!!! Greasy and super thick. My friend actually gagged when she tried to eat it. Sixth, the so-called "manager" was a nasty old man who argued that the food was good. The lady behind me in line patted me on the back and said she wished she had the nerve to speak up about the awful food. This place is a step up from a truck stop. Obviously, they do not know what a real diner is! I'd give them no stars if I could!

I went in with high expectations based on previous reviews of the food, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to them. The side of hash browns were frozen patties that can easily be purchased at any supermarket, and the "creamed chipped beef" was actually made with ham rather than beef. For the prices charged, the quality was disappointing. I ordered the Country Mix, which was quite tasty, but one good meal out of three is not enough for us to return. Sadly, we will not be back.

Although my partner claims to make a better at home, she still enjoyed her post-ultramarathon meal.

Only one kid finished their meal. The Florentine omelet I ordered was done nicely, and the home fries were definitely filling. Our server was friendly, quick and attentive, making sure our coffee mugs were sufficiently warm, which is always appreciated.
