When I asked the waitress does that how you serve bacon she said" oh yeah, it does look pretty raw" you should see that when you pick it up from the window and bring it to the customers!! a sausage smelled like it sat in a freezer for five years and it was gray. It was disgusting. The eggs were runny when I asked for over medium. The waitress was very nice, but should've caught the raw bacon when she brought it out to us. The kitchen looks absolutely disgusting. I don't know how people eat here. I will never come back here. It's just nasty.

My immediate reaction entering was, wow what a clean place. It is clean, bright and very welcoming. Our waitress was a lovely young woman who took the time to go through the menu with us and tell us things that were popular with regulars. I chose a roast beef melt with tomato soup and my husband got a gargantuan sized turkey dinner with all the fixings --real mashed potatoes and gravy, roast turkey, which they roast in house, and stuffing with a side of carrots. To round out our meal we had coffee and two scoops of ice cream also made in house by the waitress's father. Delicious, especially the cherry vanilla. Couldn't have been more pleased with the food, ambiance and reasonable prices. We are new to the area and looking forward to another good meal!

Lunch is less $ than a stop at McDonald's. Almost always get the fried cod sandwich, it's big and very tasty. Soups are excellent, meaty chicken noodle and (when they have) it stuffed pepper soup tastes like a stuffed pepper. . Their cakes come from Baltimore and are wonderful, I promise you will never forget the baklava cake, when they have it prepare to share, decadent and large slice for what it is. Their iced tea is the best. Service is fast (when they're not swamped) and friendly, I come once a month on road trips but they remember me and check if everything is ok and a drink refill a couple of times. Good thing I don't live closer, probably would go once a week or more. Ambiance is different but friendly depending where you sit. At the counter I run into regular locals almost every visit. They are friendly and love, share stories and joke with their waitresses. But this is more than a diner. As well as the classic diner they have a private dining room for about 20 and a large dining room for more than 75. Some lunch times it has 50. Locals, travelers and truckers come here for lunch.

We both went with the dinner specials, which were only 14.99 each and came with two sides. I ordered the ribs and my husband got the NY strip with butterfly shrimp. For the price, the portions were honestly huge. My ribs were fall off the bone tender and coated in a tangy BBQ sauce that had just the right balance of sweet and smoky. Easily one of the better diner style rib plates I have had. The fries were natural cut, perfectly seasoned, and had that ideal texture where they are pillowy inside with a light crisp on the outside. The succotash was simple but still good and comforting. My husband's steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had great flavor throughout. The butterfly shrimp were crispy and paired really well with the steak. His side salad was super fresh with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, and shredded cheddar. I did not even get a photo of it because he immediately dug in and loved it. The service really stood out too. Everyone was so attentive and quick to help with anything we needed like extra napkins or more sauce. It felt very welcoming and genuinely cared for. The interior has that true hometown diner feel where it seems like everyone knows each other. It is mostly booths with some tables and even a classic counter with stools, which gives it that nostalgic diner vibe. With both meals and drinks, our total was under $40, which feels rare lately for portions and quality like this. This is one of those spots where you leave full, happy, and feeling like you got an actual deal. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.

The pepper slaw I was told was very good also. My biggest complaint is that 15.50 for a turkey platter. They should use real mashed potatoes and have a better temperature of the platter itself when it's served. It's not worth five stars. So it is getting 4. Unfortunately I will not go out of my way to make back here. Maybe I had to high of expectations

We arrived late morning but before Saturday lunch, so it wasn't crowded, and we were seated right away. It quickly filled up as it got closer to the noon hour. We chose breakfast foods, wanting to try the scrapple. The biscuits and gravy also caught my eye. The biscuits were soft and fluffy, obviously freshly made. And the gravy was perfect, just the right amount of thickness, as well as being white gravy (some restaurants serve brown gravy and that's just not right!), with a generous amount of sausage in it. My husband chose French toast, with 3 thick slices. He said it was very good! And, of course, we had the scrapple. The scrapple looked like it might have been deep fried, but it turned out perfect--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The server was very friendly and attentive, without being intrusive (and she agreed that sausage gravy should always be white!) Definitely plan to return.

Some of our party got the crab cakes and were pleasantly surprised how good they were. (They were recommended by the people we met there.) One of our party got liver and onions and was pleased. Two people got the tapioca pudding, which I thought was an off choice for dessert, but they said it was the best they ever had and it was light and fluffy. I'm sure when we're ready to go for a country drive to a cute historical town, the Gateway will be a good place to stop for lunch or an all-day breakfast.
