However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago. What a nice surprise to have such a delicious square meal in a place called Indian Head. FOOD - 5 stars..tasty, reasonably priced diner fare exceeded my expectations AMBIANCE - 4 stars...clean and spacious diner SERVICE - 5 stars...friendly server made a big difference TOTAL - 5 stars...if I'm ever in western Pennsylvania, I'd be back RELATED - Exploring the Pittsburgh area?

We were there during a storm and the staff was super chill when the lights flickered and the trees were blowing right in front of us. They even offered to send us to the basement if it was worse. Personally, I'd try something other than the bananas foster for dessert. It was the least favorite part of the meal

The mushroom soup was a big hit, as was the burger. Salads were fresh and portions were all generous. The only reason for reducing a star is service--our server was incredibly slow and nonchalant. We were there for a good 2 hours and all the folks around us finished way before us. Would go back if I'm in the area.

Lots of different sauce options as well as shredded parm cheese for a double dip delight. The place has a down home vibe, with pool, pinball and shuffleboard. Our server was great too. A great find.

HillBilly's is a place that we have passed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I have always wanted to…read morestop. A friend and I golfed in Somerset and in returning back to the Pittsburgh area were looking for something to eat. I suggested HillBilly's as I stated previously, has been something I wanted to try. It has a fun vibe with ceramic characters and animals throughout. The entrance included a gift shop with fun Hillbilly merch, the bottom floor that was more of a standard dining area, the second floor includes a bar and a decent stage area, as well as a decent deck/outside patio area. When we visited karaoke was going on. We ordered drinks and as for food, my friend ordered the pot roast, which he really liked. I got the meatloaf sandwich, which I liked as well. It was meatloaf smothered with pimento between two slices of Texas toast Service was fine. They were busy and it was loud, but we were well taken care of.

All sandwiches are served with only chips if you want fries or something else it's a minimum of $2 upgrade. I get chips with some sandwiches but it's every item on the menu, unless you order a meal. Long story short if you stop just beware of all the additional charges.

We had…read morea reservation and weren't seated despite the restaurant being fairly wide open, took forever to get drinks at the bar and when we finally got our table it was almost 30 minutes before our waitress came around. The food was decent despite several items being unavailable but then we had a few items not arrive. Prices are more than reasonable for the area though, they just need to work out these hiccups.

Pleasant surprise in this area. My wife and I had a long day stopping at all the Amish places in…read morethis area, including the farmers market in Springs. We got some great hand pies. We got some great vegetables. And we were here right before dinner time. Everyone inside was very friendly and we were seated immediately. The soup and bread bar was a huge hit and I highly recommend it. There wasn't an empty seat in the place, that's how you can tell It's a good place. I got the veal parmigiana because it was a special and it was just a little rubbery. I didn't care for the meat, but everything else was fabulous. My wife got the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta and it needed a little more sauce, it was just a little dry. We were told by the owner, it was a good thing that we stopped today because next week they were shutting down the whole restaurant and taking all of their employees on a cruise because it was their 80th year anniversary. Who does that for their employees??? No one else!!! Enjoy!!!

Stopped by for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon for our first visit. We were doing heavy duty…read moreyard work all morning and were super hungry. Our waitress was super great and gave us some ideas on what to order since it was our first visit. Ended up getting the Good Burger and a side of their spaghetti with marinara. The burger fixins were similar to the Golden Arch namesake double burger but soooooo much more meat. It was so ridiculously huge with two patties of burger stacked an inch plus thick that I took one burger off to eat later. The burger with pickles and sauce were just right and plenty of diced tomatoes and lettuce offered some respite from the meat extravaganza. It was a good burger for sure. The marinara on the spaghetti is a little watery but absolutely delicious. I really liked the flavors. This is a nice local place with tons of PA beers on tap. We'll be back at dinner sometime to try those.

Everyone was so friendly that you just had to smile; our waitress Lori was particularly nice and efficient. The food at Maywood Grill was superb and done to perfection. Their fried chicken sandwich surpassed all chicken contenders and their onion rings were sublime. However, it was their pizza that was the star of the show, as it has been a long time that a pie checked all the boxes. First, the crust was just the right mix of crunch and chewy goodness that thought I had stepped into New Haven, CT. Next, the cheese was real, not that plastic rubbish you find masquerading as cheese from so main big chains. Each slice was perfect example of how pizza should be done. Without a doubt, I will most definitely return a slice of Maywood Grill's perfect pizza pie.

I still love the decor and the photos around the place. Ramps and eggs were amazing. I guess it's ramp season (very strong onion) and i couldn't pass it up.

Despite it being in Pennsylvania, it throws off a distinct hillbilly atmosphere. The usual signs about Jesus, Christmas and, of course, patriotism were in abundance. My party ordered a variety of dishes and I opted for the roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Sorry to say, the food was just adequate. The beef was overdone and the gravy had the sheen of the bottled gravies at the grocery store. The mashed potatoes were the star of the show, however, as they were very good. The hamburger and pancakes ordered by others get similar reviews. It was a hamburger and tasted like one. The pancakes, being hard to screw up, were just pancakes. This is a cash-only place, so come prepared to be vilified for wanting to pay with plastic. The prices were lower than the norm but that did little to make me feel better upon leaving. Despite the dearth of customers when we were there, the service was also lacking. I had to seek out help to get a refill on my iced tea and we waited a while to pay...with cash. I can't really give this place any additional stars. Stop here if you absolutely can't wait to eat.
