Sometimes the best dessert adventures begin with a memory. I hadn't been inside this building since…read morehigh school, back when it was something entirely different. More than twenty years later, I found myself back in Enola on a Friday night with one mission: find dessert. Specifically, I was hunting for peanut butter pie for myself and cheesecake for my Adventure Buddy. As I was trying to think of somewhere that might have both, the Squeaky Rail Diner popped into my head. I wondered if they still had the legendary dessert case I remembered all those years ago. Spoiler alert...they do! The moment I walked through the door, several staff members greeted me and offered to help. The dessert case was absolutely loaded with pies, cakes, cheesecakes, cannolis and just about every other sweet treat you could imagine. For this visit, I was only stopping in for takeout dessert, so this review is based solely on that experience rather than the diner's full menu. After a few minutes of what can only be described as an internal dessert debate, I settled on three slices to take home: peanut butter cream pie, classic cheesecake and Cinnabon cheesecake. The Cinnabon cheesecake practically jumped into the box on its own! The desserts were packaged quickly, checkout was easy and about $22 later, I was headed out the door with Friday night dessert secured. Later that evening, the official taste testing began. The peanut butter cream pie was good. Not life-changing. Not disappointing. Just a solid, acceptable slice of peanut butter pie. The classic cheesecake, unfortunately, was my least favorite of the three. It was noticeably dry, almost as if it had been sitting in the case a little longer than ideal. It certainly wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't one I'd order again. Then...we opened the Cinnabon cheesecake. Game over! Cinnamon roll on the bottom. Cheesecake in the middle. Another cinnamon roll on top. Whoever came up with that idea deserves a raise! It was rich, creamy, perfectly balanced and easily the standout dessert of the night. If someone told me they were making a special trip to Squeaky Rail Diner just for that cheesecake, I wouldn't question it for a second! Would I make another special trip for the entire dessert case? Probably not. Would I happily make another trip for that Cinnabon cheesecake? Absolutely! Sometimes all it takes is one exceptional dessert to earn a return visit.

We found the extensive menu had many options. The only negative is the menu includes the Penna Dutch staple hot bacon dressing which the server imformed us is not ever available. A sharpie on the menu would take care of that issue. The portions were plentiful. I ordered an egg and olive sandwich and expected the olives to be mixed in instead of layered on top, but the taste was essentially the same and the egg salad was tasty. We opted for a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie to go and my mom said it was just ok. I was going to try it but after I saw it I passed as it was not enough to tempt me to try it. The tea was nicely brewed and they offer raspberry tea as well. The fried eggplant was reported to be very tasty with a large side of spaghetti. My sandwich had a bag of chips on the side, which I could have done without. Something about having a bag of chips seems rather convenience store than a restaurant and I guess if they just open the bag and put them on the plate it seems more appropriate. But that's just me. I found the service friendly and attentive. The price point was very inexpensive. They did not have a senior menu but had lots of specials. Overall I think we will happily grab an early dinner here regularly. A great find in a new city!
