Let me start of by mentioning that I have been to quite a few bars, and across the country even. This might be the first one ever, at a little Western PA hicktown no less, where the restroom was of clean design and immaculate condition. It was so much so I thought I had accidentally entered the women's restroom, but no, it was, thankfully, the men's. Very impressed, kudos to them. So my wife, a friend of hers, and I spent a good chunk of a Saturday evening at this establishment. The bar is sizable, there's plenty of room to sit and eat, and their beer and spirit selection was decent. The only problem is that they had a single (as in one) bartender to take care of everyone. Imagine a pack bar, then imagine a few filled tables, now recall there is only one bartender...Yeah, it's not a pretty mental picture and it was less so in real life. I felt bad for the bartender and walked away a bit miffed with the management of this place. Hopefully this place figured it out soon. I'd like to go back, but not under those circumstances, ever again...

Menu items include French toast, pancakes, waffles, omelettes, sandwiches, salads, soups, and non-alcoholic beverages. My husband and I ate breakfast here one time. An employee promptly and kindly greeted us, seated us, took our order, and brought out our foods and drinks. I ordered the 14-inch buttermilk pancake with triple berries on top, and my husband ordered the sausage gravy 'n biscuits with two sunnyside-up eggs. Both foods were significantly larger than what we could fit into our stomachs, and they tasted very good. The total price was $27 with cash or $28 with a credit card plus a tip. We had to pay up front at the cash register, not at our table. Note that a free parking lot is behind the building.

We were able to be seated without a wait however, and the service here is top notch. The wait staff hustles and takes care of everyone, regardless if you are at their table or not. Refilling coffee, water, asking if we needed anything, etc. I ordered the Popeye omelette (with spinach and feta) and I added on ham. I enjoyed it very much. Toast is extra, but the prices are reasonable for everything and portion sizes are sufficient. My daughter had a breakfast with hash browns and said they were cold, unfortunately. That is the only negative thing I can say. The restaurant and ladies room were both very clean. The walls are adorned with lots of funny farmhouse signs. the whole place is very country themed . You can tell it is a favorite local breakfast spot and if you live in Westmoreland County you should definitely have breakfast or lunch here!

The Lamplighter is sort of three places in one. There is the diner/coffee shop side, the main…read moredining room/lounge and the banquet room. They each have their own distinctive and unique decor and menu options. I have been here for breakfast, for events in the banquet room and for dinner and have enjoyed all of my experiences. My favorite experience here has been for the murder mystery dinners. For $45, you get a buffet dinner (that comes with soft drinks, the meal and dessert) and a funny musical comedy show. You can't beat that deal! When you enter for these events, you go to your assigned table. The characters are mingling and you can get drinks. The one thing I'll say is they needed more bartenders or a more efficient way to handle the drinks because the line was consistently long. Maybe having one person for things like pop and one for bar items could be helpful. The buffet is different depending on the time of year (and potentially theme of the mystery). They always have a salad table with pretty basic salad ingredients, but also celery, carrots and olives. The entrees included chicken, fish, veggies and my favorite, the carved ham and roast beef. For banquet food, it was tasty and enjoyable. The banquet room itself is pretty standard "generic banquet room" decor. Nothing special, but the chairs are actually comfortable (which isn't always the case). The lounge and main restaurant area. Well, if you want to feel like you've used a time machine and gone back a few decades, take a step in there. It is definitively retro but still somehow doesn't feel stale or old. They often host their wine dinners in this area. There are a variety of seating options and a more upscale menu than the other side of the restaurant. The menu is fairly limited and a bit old school "fancy" but if you know that going in you shouldn't be disappointed. We had the filet and the chicken marsala. Were the they best we've ever had taste or presentation wise? No, but they were enjoyable the the portions were good. As was the service. It wouldn't be a spot I'd come to regularly for dinner, but I'd definitely eat in the dinner area again. The diner/breakfast side was more fast paced and old school diner, almost cafeteria vibe. Food items are pretty cheap considering today's food prices, especially for breakfast items. I like that with all the traditional and old school options they also have avocado toast. I've had their pancakes (which were huge, but not all that thick) and their omelet. Pretty standard diner fare. Nothing was food I was eager to come back and have again, but it was all perfectly tasty. So, come with an open mind. And remember that this place is essentially three different experiences. Just make sure you are prepared for which one you are hoping to enjoy.

Not sure if I set the bar too high but sad to say if I didn't know the name of the place it would just be another restaurant with a few mementos. I was expecting so much more and couldn't wait to connect with 80's . The menu is a mixed bag of choices, average prices, friendly staff. Thankfully another patron snagged the server before me and questioned her about the non 80's music playing. Music was more like teenie- bopper tunes. Server managed to play one 80s song and it got bumped back to the teenie- bopper setting. Server said she was having trouble with the music. Maybe we will return to try their breakfast menu and hopefully it will be a better encounter now that I know to focus on the food and not the 80's.
