We have driven past this place for over 30 years and always said "we should eat there sometime." Well, today was the day and this was the best dining experience we have had in years!!! Our server was fantastic, she answered questions and made suggestions and was just great to talk with. Helped that her family owned the place and she acted like this was her future. Had outdoor seating looking over the local trout stream, the view was amazing. And the food was fabulous. Salmon and pork chops for the main course. Both were seasoned and cooked to perfection, red skins, Brussel sprouts, pasta Alfredo and a Caesar salad for the sides. By the way, best salad dressing ever!!! Deserts were apple and blueberry pie (warm) with ice cream and a butter crumb topping that was delightful!! This place was a 10 out of 10 and you can bet we will be back before 30 more years go by. Thank you for a great dining experience!
Lovely spot. Had to dodge a little Rt 30 traffic to slip into the lot, but it was worth it. Nice u-shaped bar, six beers on tap and a lot of liquor behind that. Friendly bartender/server. Good service, sandwich was tasty, properly priced. Nice view of the creek out the back window. Pretty much had the place to myself at that hour. Decorated for the season, almost to Hallmark-like levels. Definitely worth a stop.
The best food in western PA. The atmosphere is very cozy. The server's are extremely nice!
Repeat customers- and had to leave a 2nd review. We called on New year's eve right before they opened. You had a cancelation and were able to accommodate use. ( we were traveling in area) My pictures describe our amazing dinner. Thank you for another great meal!!
Great food and service. We recommend the onion rings with ranch dipping sauce and the wedge salad.
