We delight in the original tart and thin Buckwheat cake of Preston County. Have enjoyed nearly all items on menu. Prices have increased while portions have decreased. My brother insists in the chthonic time after breakfast and prior to lunch. Highly recommend.... There are several dining options in this area, and all are good.

Since we moved away from this area in the late 60's, our dining at the White House back then was on a limited basis. We do remember eating at this establishment with my wife's brother in law sometime in the past. Two of our party had the haddock one fried and one grilled, one had the crab cakes and I had the special (stuffed scallops with crab stuffing). Our meals also came with the bread and soup bar. The selection of bread was great, maybe 5 or 6 kinds, and the soup of the day was delicious beef noodle. Cubes of Swiss and cheddar cheese were also available. Everyone enjoyed the great service, the great food and the family ambiance. We will return again when we are back in this area.

Fortunately, we asked the GPS to list restaurants and this one came up. As soon as we pulled up, I fell in love. It's a cute little place with family photos on the wall. The whole place is done in wood, and it looks like a little family restaurant where locals come. All of the dinners they serve come with salad and the soup and bread bar and a side dish. They also have additional soup choices in the kitchen. I had the stuffed pepper soup from the bar, which was like a non-spicy chili. It was very good. My sister got the Italian wedding soup, which was probably the best I'd ever tasted. We were both impressed with the bread bar, which had 4 different homemade breads that you can slice yourself. They also had some homemade rolls and applesauce. I ordered the artichoke dip chicken. It was a lightly fried chicken patty with the sauce on top. It was very good and very rich. I only ate half of it (because of the aforementioned soup, salad and bread!), so I got to enjoy it again later. If you're in the area, do try and find this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

A Hidden Gem Worth Leaving the Turnpike For! After making…read morethe drive between Northern Virginia and Ohio for more than 20 years, we couldn't believe we had never discovered Out of the Fire Café before. Anyone who regularly travels the Pennsylvania Turnpike knows how hard it is to find a truly memorable place to eat. This one is absolutely worth the short detour. The atmosphere is charming, the view is beautiful, and the food exceeded every expectation. We had to try their famous mushroom soup, and even though I'm not normally a mushroom fan, it was hands-down one of the best cups of soup I've ever had. The smoked salmon salad was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon Sandwich special, and every bite was packed with incredible flavor. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home and added to what was already a wonderful dining experience. We finished with the Bananas Foster. While it wasn't the tableside flaming presentation you'd find at a fine-dining restaurant, the flavor was outstanding and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be making Out of the Fire Café a tradition on our future trips. If you're traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike, do yourself a favor and make the stop--you won't regret it!

Hopefully they start making sandwiches here too.

We got some treats and used the very clean bathroom.

Sliders and a huge bowl of applesauce for one kid (big approval on both). Bowl of creamy tomato soup for kid #2, which he said was amazing. Yard Bird sandwich was enormous, juicy, and very crisply fried. Corned beef and sauerkraut (housemade) in the Reuben was delicious but had a slightly disappointing meat-to-kraut ratio that had me wishing for a bit more of the tender corned beef. A really nice touch is that the kids meals are 1/2 off with the purchase of an entree. $5 instead of $10. Great deal and still high quality food. Our waitress was terrific but the kitchen was surprisingly slow given that there were only a few diners in the restaurant. (The slow service made it a 4 star, not 5, experience.) Nice decor and clean bathrooms. Some in our party wandered through the quaint artisan village across the street while we waited for our food.

If you follow my reviews, you know I'm a fan of old-school diners, the classics, and honest home-cooked food. Summit hits all three marks, serving straightforward and delicious American standards since the 1960s. The three-egg omelet loaded with veggies and sausage was exactly the pre-ski power-up I needed. My son stuck with his go-to breakfast burrito, and my daughter went with the classic two eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was spot on. The staff has just the right level of "WWA"--Waitresses With Attitude. They are perfectly polite, but they hold the line on proper behavior and will quickly put anyone in their place if they step out of line. It keeps the environment grounded and authentic. A few tips for your visit: * Seating: Expect to wait for a table in the lobby or outside during peak hours. * Payment: Bring your wallet--this is a cash-only establishment.

He called for a reservation for Saturday night and they could only squeeze us in at 5:00 because they were totally booked! After eating it, I have to say that this was possibly the BEST restaurant meal I've had in recent memory, if not ever! Creamy sauce filled with crab, bay scallops and langoustines nestled between tender lasagna noodles (I'm pretty sure they were homemade). Topped with large shrimp and sea scallops, seared to perfection and set in a gratin dish which is more than an ample serving. It is served with a generous portion of their Caesar salad. We were pleasantly sated but could not resist ordering dessert to top it all off. Their Creme Brûlée is espresso flavored and delightful. And the bourbon pecan tart was simply divine. The owners wait on you and you can tell them how much you love the food, they're always appreciative to hear our comments. The restaurant itself is lovely. Tastefully decorated. You might feel that you are in New York or some other big city upscale restaurant but you are in little old downtown Latrobe! My favorite restaurant for sure!
