Popped in on Wednesday probably closer to 1 p.m. Just a single server here so you'll want to be…read morepatient. We went with the catfish plate along with the bbq pork plate. Picked our sides from the options on the board rather than the less inspired options on the printed menu. (broccoli salad, hoppin' john, sweet (collard) greens, and Capri salad (not quite a caprese but did have cheese, tomatoes). Catfish was a the star - light and crisp and hot from fryer to the table - seasoned lightly and fresh tender fillets. It's nice to be able to choose the number of fillets you'd like adjusting for appetite or diners to share with. Pulled pork was moist and better than I would have expected at a non bbq restaurant, let alone one at a state park. More customers poured in after us - so the later you are to lunch, the more patient you'll want to be. On a Wednesday this might be the only restaurant in the area - I think we'd be looking as far back as Harrisburg for something else that was open.

The acoustic guitar duo in the patio was a nice touch. The patio is a nice atmosphere for hanging out or for dinner. The cabins were full, and seemed to trend older, but could be an easy way to enjoy your area. Since the campgrounds doesn't sell firewood on site, perhaps the restaurant could?

The biscuits and gravy were just okay, and the omelet would have been better if it weren't made with American cheese slices. I did like the potatoes. Everything had a taste of grease to it, but for the price, I can't complain too much. I wasn't a big fan of their coffee (decaf). The service was nice and kept our cups filled, haha. The decoration inside is dated and nostalgic. For a small diner, it served its job :) Note: I enjoyed the pancakes, but they were a bit raw in the middle.

We hadn't eaten out for a while so we seen this place and thought it looked cute so we walked over from Pilot (across the street) and sat down to order our food. I had to repeat my order 4 times and the "waitress" still wasn't getting it. Simple order "ribeye and shrimp dinner" comes with 2 sides but don't order the onion rings because even though it's on the "sides menu" they charged me $2 extra for the small helping that I received. She looked and asked if we wanted to split the dinner and I said "no want 2 of the ribeye dinners with the 2 sides" she looked puzzled and said "ooohhhh so you want the shrimp basket and a ribeye? I repeated what I wanted 3 more times and each time she looked like a lost deer in the headlights. I showed her the picture on the menu (thank God for pictures because like a two year-old she would not have understood what I wanted without the pictures) the food had ZERO FLAVOUR...after we doused it with salt and pepper it was tolerable at best. The meal was $22 a plate but not worth half what they were charging. Now let's get to the second half of this review The Service As I stated earlier in this review, this girl was not quite all there, she brought me the bill 1/2 way through us eating the meal, said "you can take care of this anytime" but proceeded to come back multiple times like she was waiting for us to pay. When I was looking over the bill, I noticed the two dollar charge for the onion rings and when I asked her about it, she looked at me once again with those deer in the headlight look in her eyes shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know maybe it was a specialty side" and I said no it was on the sides item list. She looked at me like she could care less so I asked her if there was somebody here that would know why they were charging two dollars extra for onion rings. She said no all the managers have gone home for the night so there was nobody there that could answer the question. We paid our bill and left very dissatisfied and now my stomach is kind of upset so I'll probably throw the leftovers away because now I'm not sure if it's going to be safe to eat. The quality of the food is nowhere near what it should be The ribeye steak is like that of which you would buy at Walmart in the box of 5 ribeyes out of the freezer for $15.88 The shrimp is the frozen box of SeaPak shrimp, again that you find at Walmart for $9.87 As my wife and I were walking out the door she overheard them talking crap about us wanting to speak to the manager like they want to keep the manager around all night long to make sure customers are taken care of. Mind you it was not even 5:00 pm yet. And the only reason that I wanted to speak with a manager was the question about the onion rings. Rude unprofessional uninformed staff, probably cracked out, meth heads that couldn't stop twitching for their next fix. The cook kept sliding his jaw like meth heads do when they are high. I almost forgot to mention that the ribeye steak tasted fishy so I'm not sure what that was all about.

The waitresses were very friendly and great at their job. The menu was quite extensive. Our food came pretty quickly. My husband got the haystack and he enjoyed it and took half of it home because it was so large. I got one biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs of top. Biscuits were fluffy and sausage gravy was so good and just the way I like it. My husband said the coffee was very good. I had unsweet iced tea and it was good as well. Don't forget to ask for a senior discount if you are a senior. The ticket was less than what we usually eat for at Cracker Barrel. We will definitely come back when camping here again! Next time though I'm going to try their pies!

Spacious interior, and I think one of the best features is the wide aisles between tables. Very comfortable for customers using a walker or wheelchair. Just a nice accommodation for diners. Wonderful service, even on a busy holiday. Struggling to keep up with a busy lunch rush, but they were holding it together quite well. Clean restrooms. Had the meatloaf special. Not fresh made meatloaf. This was more of a minced, spam-ish beef product with can gravy. Didn't taste like home, sadly. However, veggies were fine as were the fries. And for the price, overall a good value. This is a fine diner. I'd recommend sticking close to the short order classics.

Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

The food came out super fast and now I know why! My country fried steak was a country fried steak, no more no less! My fried okra was fried okra previously frozen I'm sure. The "Mac and cheese" HAHAHA! Was Kraft and was ice cold( Literally ) Zero flavor, zero seasoning, they didn't even try to dress it up. My " Cornbread? Was a blob of tasteless cornmeal and flour that was so dry and tasteless that I took a bite and spit it in my napkin. NOPE!! Just NOPE...
