It's next door to the hotel and when we went it wasn't so busy that we were ignored but they staff were certainly being kept on their toes (Father's Day weekend, graduations, hotel guests...). They have both indoor seating (complete with a bar if you'd like to sit there) and a really nice looking patio area. The food was fantastic. Our server was great too; she was really friendly and helpful with recommendations. I ordered the reuben sandwich, which was deeeelicious. The salmon was apparently wonderful too, from what my partner said. And I ordered the macaroni and cheese from the kids menu but it was huge. My baby loved it and since it was so huge there was too much for her, so I had the rest at a later time. They had a really good strawberry lemonade, of which we (my daughter and I, because of course she had to have some) drank several glasses. Our server even brought me a to-go cup of it because she said it looked like we were slowing down and may be near finishing. I didn't ask her to bring me a cup of it to go, and wouldn't have thought to ask, so I was very happy she brought it for the rest of our ride to Cleveland. But perhaps my favorite part of the meal were the appetizers. We ordered some macaroni and jalapeño bites which were a hit as far as myself and the little one were concerned, with not too much heat that she could enjoy them. The restaurant has a Brussels sprouts appetizer, but they do it as an "of the week" special. The week we were here it was inspired by elote, so it had some corn and cheese and stuff on it and they were so good. I love Brussels sprouts, and will happily try them prepared in a new way. As of June 2026, I think they are short staffed. Our food took a little longer than usual but that was ok; it gave us a chance to chat and relax. Just be patient if you visit in the near future since they are down an employee or two! But even with that, it was a pleasant evening, the staff were fantastic and helpful, and the food totally hit the spot.

That b being said it got worse. The manager told us that people in Dubois liked them burnt and hard. He was rude and told us many times why we were wrong. By the way, my husband graduated culinary school and has worked in many places during the last 50 years and has NEVER been told to burn the sprouts. As we were finishing our drinks we remarked to each other that it was Tuesday and there was Noone here. The manager said if we continued to make comments he was going to ask us to leave. We were talking to each other and he chose to sit nearby. I have never been in such a hostile environment in a restaurant as that place. Needless to say we are not going back and if I could I would send him a check and explain why he is in the wrong business. But he would argue about that too. Have a good day all but don't waste your money there unless you like burnt sprouts.

My wife, who's Italian, wants to take this +1 hour trip several times a year just to come here because it reminds her of the various "Mom & Pop" restaurants of her hometown in northeast PA. It sits in downtown DuBois with plenty of parking options nearby. The restaurant is good sized but it also does a lot of business so plan ahead on the weekends. The inside has a cozy/hometown feel with pictures of their family all over the walls. I don't think much has changed to the interior in those 20 years and that's okay by me. For this outing we opted for the antipasta salad, Italian wedding soup, veal parm and stuffed manicotti. Their dishes are more traditional italian (i.e. not olive garden) and they offer lunch, half, or full-sized portions. Their gravy has a good balance between sweet and savory. They also make a great fresh baked loaf of bread and they're happy to bring several to the table throughout the course. It was a special occasion so we closed out the night with their famous strawberry cheesecake. Service was excellent and the bill, with several drinks, was around $60 for 2. This is not a chain; it has character, it's not polished but it's a true gem of spot in rural PA. I'm glad places like this still exist!

But enough was promising that I'd return if passing through, I'd just order differently.

I got tater tots for my side with the burger. First impressions leave a lot to be desired. I missed the entrance on the side of the restaurant itself, so I walked though a ghost town of a mall with at least 60% of storefronts empty. Not their fault, but still. When I got inside the restaurant, the carpet in front of where you order was sticky and the person working the counter was slightly disheveled and partially toothless. Also, I kid you not, the napkin holder at the table I was sitting at ran out after one napkin. The food was quite the mixed bag. I don't have the pallet of a chef, but if I had to guess I'd say they use mayo instead of butter on the outside of the grilled cheese given that it reminded me of the mayo Burger King uses. Not my favorite by any stretch. At least the burger patties were cooked and seasoned well, and the tots were crispy, and the order was ready quick.
