Hiker friendly restaurant and bar. Excellent wings and good french onion soup. Really friendly service. The bartender made our daughter a drink that was really good. Beer and mixed drinks available.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
John D.

Finally got to try this place. Seen it on FB and it looked very appealing. My wife and I got the Thunderhead Burger. Comes with lettuce, Tomato, onion. Cheese is $1 extra. Served with fresh cut fries. My son got the Meatloaf platter. I also got the Chicken Tortilla Soup as an app. Each had a soda, free refills. Staff were very nice and we always had a full beverage. Atmosphere is nice, they have 2 rooms of indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Food arrived in a timely manner. Burgers were very tasty. They were 8oz hand patty on a Brioche roll. Fresh cut fries were very good. The meatloaf was tender and moist, very tasty. The zesty sauce/gravy was very good. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It is pricey. For our meal it was $71 not including tip. Burgers were $16/each Meatloaf was $20 Soup was $8 Sodas were $2.50/each Will we be back, not sure...

Vanilla crème brûlée

We visited this location on a weekend trip. Everything was excellent. The service was quick and friendly. The food was great. I had chicken francaise with mashed potatoes that was amazing. The tomato cream soup was full of flavor and not overwhelmed with the dill. My husband had the hot wings and really enjoyed them. The ambiance was very nice , bright and pleasing. We ended with the vanilla crème brûlée, also amazing. We will definitely return when in the area.

The Appalachian Trail famously runs a 2000 mile stretch from Georgia to Maine along a series of mountain ranges and among its delights is a Mountain Chalet Restaurant that caters to weary hikers, local diners, and destination foodies who may drive an hour or more to enjoy a unique dining experience that has put this restaurant on the map for many years. Perched at the peak of Blue Mountain, the restaurant has the most amazing location sitting directly on the Appalachian Trail. Hikers have marked this location on their maps for decades as a memorable waypoint half way through their journey. There is a vast outdoor seating area and many of the patrons have their backpacks along side as they enjoy their meals. My kids and I enjoy going for a hike followed by a hearty meal and conversation with a most friendly and adventurous group of diners one is sure to meet. Lunchtime dining is hearty comfort food and unique well drinks along with local beers on draught. My daughter and I shared the hot wings and each had a burger that can only be described as epic. The portions are suited for the appetite of a hiker and the quality and flavor will make this a destination restaurant after your first visit. Dinner fare goes well past the comfort food that makes this restaurant wonderful and features items like Filet Mignon, Chicken Français, Braised Short Ribs, and Crab Cakes. This is the kind of place you would feel comfortable taking your whole boisterous family and find equally special on a romantic date. The restaurant recently reopened under new ownership and has a fantastic chef who keeps the experience lively with frequent changes to the menu. An absolute wonderful dining experience.

Lemon Drop

First time here and we definitely return. Everything was excellent service and food. Also one of the best Lemon Drop drinks I have enjoyed!

Buford burger with the brioche bun

Love them! Just recently opened, but I am already a repeating client! The mother lode sandwich was enough for two lunches, their brioche burger buns are wonderful (for burger and buford...that pulled pork is awesome). And the crabcakes - heaven!!! It's currently take out only, but once they can open, they will have this great outdoor seating available... so looking forward to it. We will certainly be back!

Bacon egg & cheese Breakfast sandwich. Amazing!!!!

See all

Hard to say what's bette....the food or the service! We love…read morethe WPD and always feel welcomed like regulars, even if we don't make it in as often as we'd like. I usually go for the well-done hash with runny eggs, but honestly, I haven't had a dish here that I wouldn't order again. Do yourself a favor and stop by for breakfast...you won't be disappointed!

I am new to the area - helping out my mom who lives in Coaldale - but, have been trying out the…read morelocal faire. I am a HUGE breakfast/brunch guy and so whenever I get the chance I hit a new grubbery. Well, this morning we hit WPD - a little diner on Penn Drive. It was my mom, my nephew and myself. There's plenty of parking. The place is clean. The prices are very reasonable. The service was very good!! The server was quick and polite and funny and didn't seem like she hated her job as you often see in many restaurant. The menu is simple - which ain't a bad thing. I will give a positive critique - the omelette's should be cooked a little softer. Mine was well done which isn't the best way to serve an omelette unless asked by the customer. I ordered the... All Meat Omelette and added provolone cheese. I The Pumpkin Pancakes - WOW!!! Yummy. The coffee is without a doubt THE BEST COFFEE I've had in any restaurant in a long time. And I want to add I am a huge coffee drinker as are my mother and my nephew. The ambience is very apropos. Everyone was nice and friendly. I think the cooks came out of the kitchen a few times. It would've been nice had they introduced themselves. We ordered hot links, bacon, hash browns, toast, and of course eggs - scrambled and over easy. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. This is a no frills kinda place so if you're looking for that in your "wow" - this ain't the place. But, if you're looking for a decent meal at a decent price with friendly service and a clean environment...THIS IS THE PLACE! Happy grubbing!
