    My son and I stopped through here on our way to Pittsburgh. It was so hot that day and the hilly…read moredrive made me scared and nauseous. I saw a sign for this place off the highway and was excited to get off and regain my composure. The guy who served me was so sweet, very friendly and didn't seem irritated with me talking and talking and talking lol I was anxious and couldn't help myself. We got some treats and used the very clean bathroom. They didn't have an annoying tip machine and the guy didn't even expect one but I wanted to show my appreciation for his kindness and allowing me to talk so much haha. Great place in a beautiful area 10 out of 10

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.

That led us straight to Heidi's Bakery & Cafe, and honestly? Total home run. There's a sign hanging on the wall that says: "Homemade with love and butter." That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. You can taste the care and quality in everything they make. We ordered the BLTs on homemade sourdough, and they were absolute perfection --thick, delicious bacon, crisp beautiful lettuce, sweet tomatoes, and sourdough that deserved its own standing ovation. A truly excellent BLT is a thing of beauty, and Heidi's version was gorgeous. The french fries had some kind of secret seasoning situation happening that made them completely addictive. Every bite somehow got better. And then the desserts. Cupcakes. Cookies. Pastries. Basically a direct shipment from heaven itself. The kind of bakery case that makes you start negotiating with your own self-control and losing immediately. If you're exploring the mountains and backroads around Cathedral State Park, this place is 100% worth the stop. Warm, homemade comfort food done right.

I picked up an enormous Reese's peanut butter cup cookie for later. Everything was delicious, prices were fair, and the staff were friendly. Plenty of parking in their lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. We'll definitely be back!

We arrived around 5:30 on a busy Thursday night. It's not a big place, and there were already 2 tables of 6+ people & several tables of 2-4. We actually got the last available table. It's worth the wait, but there was a long wait. I think there was only one person in the kitchen and they really had a hard time getting all the orders out for the two large group tables. However, our server was friendly and efficient, considering it was just her and one other server, waiting on everyone and doing the bartending. She replenished water often and got me a new beer whenever I needed one. She got our appetizer of onion petals out quickly, but then it was over an hour wait for our other food. We were a little disappointed that they were out of the pork rinds and they were also out of the elk burger tonight which were of the things we were looking forward to trying. The onion petals were very good. They did have elk sliders so my husband ordered those. We enjoyed them, more flavorful & not gamey like venison. I ordered a patty melt since I had not had one of those in ages. By the time our food arrived the bar was also full, but by now it was going on 7pm. So, we did enjoy our visit & liked all the food & we'd eat there again. Others would have been obviously bothered by the long wait for the food, but we were on vacation and we were not in a hurry. Despite being super busy our server was kind & didn't seem stressed out.
