The owner or manager was on site and he was working the room, making sure guests were all comfortable. I had ham steak with pineapple and it was really good. Something my husband I never had was lettuce with hot bacon dressing. Sounded too good not to ty and glad we did. Husband had the Amish Pot Pie and practically licked the bowl clean. They also serve Breakfast all day which I kept debating. If this wasnt 2 hours away this would be our go to diner

I've visited the Rail Road Diner whenever I'm in town which isn't often but I've probably had six…read moreor seven meals here over the past 12 years or so -- they have all been great. Today, a coworker and I visited and I had a cowboy burger -- pretty simple burger but it was amazing and I'm not sure what made it so tasty. Cowboy burger has an onion ring, two thick-sliced tomatoes, a piece of lettuce, and crispy bacon. I asked for the barbecue sauce on the side. Plenty of terrific fries came with my burger. My coworker had the turkey club and said it was delicious. Neighbors on our sides had cheesteaks that looked -- and they said tasted -- amazing. This is a popular spot at lunch and sometimes, like today, there's a slight wait for a table but it's worth it. The kitchen is small and there were at least five people in there whipping up basic but tremendous tasting food. I'll be back ... probably the year after next for another great meal.

Kayleigh was there, like last time, and she was just great! Service and food here is really excellent. I had the salad bar again, it was the same items plus some surprises, like a Russian salad and pickled beets, yummy! The soups were chicken pasta, split pea, and pepper pot. The ladies were great about finding out ingredients. I got to meet the owner! He's a great guy, too. Just an overall warm, welcoming, relaxing place. They're close to motels and hotels, so there are people from all over stopping by, and there are lots of regulars who are hooked. You can tell why. You feel like it's another era. Lots of free parking. Salad bar food was fresh and delicious. Nice to smell freshly brewed coffee.

Seeing her in this condition did not entice our appetites! Second, two of us ordered pancakes. The pancakes were so thick and dry the fake maple syrup was soaked up like a sponge! They were HORRIBLE!!! Third, the sausage was also quite disgusting- greasy and filled with fat. Fourth, the sloppy waitress had an attitude. I actually told her maybe she should look into another line of work. Fifth, the pork roll was sooooo thick....GROSS!!! Greasy and super thick. My friend actually gagged when she tried to eat it. Sixth, the so-called "manager" was a nasty old man who argued that the food was good. The lady behind me in line patted me on the back and said she wished she had the nerve to speak up about the awful food. This place is a step up from a truck stop. Obviously, they do not know what a real diner is! I'd give them no stars if I could!

I went in with high expectations based on previous reviews of the food, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to them. The side of hash browns were frozen patties that can easily be purchased at any supermarket, and the "creamed chipped beef" was actually made with ham rather than beef. For the prices charged, the quality was disappointing. I ordered the Country Mix, which was quite tasty, but one good meal out of three is not enough for us to return. Sadly, we will not be back.
