However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago. What a nice surprise to have such a delicious square meal in a place called Indian Head.

Kind of a combination of a scotch egg (without the sausage) and a traditional deviled egg. I'm usually not a fan of curry, but they used it sparingly to create a nice flavor. We then shared the pierogies. Not sure if they were homemade or not, but they were definitely not the standard Mrs. T's. I loved how they put the potato pierogies on a bed of sauerkraut. It was the best of both worlds. If I had one complaint, I'd say the sauerkraut was a bit too sweet for my liking. But it was still good. For the main course, we shared a fish sandwich. No complaints here. A nice piece of fish served on a fresh bun with good fries.

I also enjoy the cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes. I love that they offer buckwheat cakes in the winter, but they are not as sour as I like and they can be inconsistent thickness which sometimes leads to mushy center. My son always enjoys the fish sandwich and my daughter loves the cheese balls. They do offer specials daily - typical home style things like meatloaf, spaghetti, liver and onions, etc. That includes a soup of the day as well. Breakfast is offered daily and you can order breakfast any time of day.

When we ordered we never expected for the portions to be so large. I am not complaining, it's was quite pleasant. Everything we ate was fresh and most of it tasted homemade. The food had love in it. Is there anything else to say with that? The pizza was tasteful every bite you took. My son had the spaghetti and I had to try it. It was great. Plenty of flavor but my favorite part was them meatballs. Not to dense, cooked great, and the flavor was there. The cheese bread doesn't even need sauce but it makes it even better. Thanks for the love you all show here.

Kind of a cross between a sports bar with TVs and projector screens, as well as dark walls and dark wood dining. It was pretty quiet when we were there - kind of weird being a weekend evening, We started with some appetizers: bruschetta, steak egg rolls, and fried pepperoni. The bruschetta was good - executed properly and textbook. The bread was toasted but a soft bite - just the right amount of tomato and balsamic. The steak egg rolls were also very good - had a kick with cherry peppers inside. Comes with ranch as a dipping sauce. The fried pepperoni was different. The breading struggled to stay on the pepperoni but it was good overall. For my entree I went with the red chicken parm. It comes with pasta (billed as made from Scratch) and red sauce. There were two hamburger-sized chicken pieces, breaded with cheese and a small amount of sauce on top. I felt like the cheese on the top was scarce - should be more. Upon first bite, I was throttled with the flavor of salt, heavy heavy salt. I tried the other piece and the same. I don't mind salt items but this breading reminded me of overuse of the chicken seasoning pack in ramen, and was just over the top. Pasta was ok. For dessert - since I didn't eat much of the entree, I went with the chocolate cake. Holy hell it's massive. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It was immense. Cake was good - though kind of dry at times. Our waitress was nice - attentive and responsive to us throughout the meal. Would try again - I would say really this is closer to a 3 than a 4 but.

But I cant complain, I'm just sensitive to the temp is all. The staff acted as if it didnt bother them in the least bit! They delivered the spectacular service & amazing food we've come to expect. And they did it with a smile on their faces! From the host, to the wait staff, to the Smashers staff that delivered our dirty sodas, everyone was on point. Not to mention the musical guests that played lots of my personal favorites in new & surprising ways. We got the pepperoni pizza & the white pizza with garlic & onions. Omgosh YUM! My grandkids are in love with the sandbox & made some new friends while we were there. We saw 3 pea-hens & one gorgeous peacock that decided to put on a show for us. All in all I had a glorious time & my family did as well. We are repeat customers. If you dont visit this place youre missing out

It's always great finding hidden gems whenever we make our roadtrips. Here we are in our hotel amongst so many chain restaurants and we do not do chains. Following Yelp reviews we made a list and then checked it twice, yup for real with a local who works at the Hilton in Uniontown.

For our dinner we started with the crab special, gorgeous chunks of finished in a balsamic reduction. For my main, I had the walleye special and the fish was cooked to perfection very lightly breaded lightly fried, extremely moist, tender, and very tasty and beautifully plated against the side of vegetables. My wife had grilled chicken penne à la vodka that she absolutely loved. We were on such a good role and enjoying ourselves with our bottle of wine as well that we decided to order coffee sides with espresso and a lemon Raspberry cake that our surprise was so amazing. We actually did finish it. Please see photographs of our beautiful meal and since we were in the area for a couple days, we are going again during this trip .

The food was as good as it could be for south western PA. The french onion soup was good. Cheesy and many onions. I liked it. The angel hair was very overcooked and very mushy. I'm not sure what i was thinking as angel hair is hard to cook so maybe stick to the spaghetti. I would recommend the lunch portion over the dinner portion. The meatballs were spiced well and had a nice texture. The sauce was not too sweet but a bit bland. After the soup i really only ate 1 meatball. The stuffed pasta with vodka sauce was good. A bit salty but pasta was cooked well. I would recommend this but again a large portion even for lunch.
