    Solid fresh cooked food. Took a little longer than I expected, but it was good! I'd return!

    Breakfast. Oh breakfast. Time and again you have places taking shortcuts on breakfast. Sadly it is hard to find a place that serves good food at a fair price. That being said, The Home Made Restaurant does it right. First of all they have a specials section that actually presents value. I got the #3 which is 3 eggs any style, home fries, toast with coffee and juice INCLUDED for $6. That's a great value. More important is the food quality. Marble Rye toast, whole eggs and really decent coffee. Very good stuff. The service is nice and they are all very friendly. Love it.

    So, we're driving down the 119 when I see a sign: "Village of HOME". "Hey!" I said, "Look! We're home!" And nobody believed me. My brother used to have an ambition to buy up a ghost town somewhere and rename it to "Own Risk", because he figured he could set up a gift shop there and sell T-shirts with slogans like "I parked at Own Risk" or "I swam at Own Risk". "Home" is a name with even more potential. Just think of setting up a Motel and calling it "Welcome Home". The tourist slogans just naturally occur: "Come Home for Thanksgiving", or "On Our Last Vacation, We Stayed at Home". Apparently, I'm not the only one who recognises the punderful opportunities presented by this place, since the local eatery is called "The Home Made Restaurant". With a name like that, I just had to eat there at the first opportunity, so I took my sweetie there for lunch. I ordered the Gyro Pita Sandwich. (Yeah, I know, this place is all about "comfort food", but I hadn't had Middle Eastern food in yonks, and for me, it *is* comfort food.) It was good, but instead of either rolling the pita around the filling, or else cutting the pita in half and stuffing the filling into the pocket, as most places I've been do, they treat the pita as if it's normal bread, giving you two pitas with the filling between them. Everything was present and accounted for, and it tasted good, but the results were even messier than usual for me, and my brand new T-shirt now has tzatziki on it. My sweetie was too busy going "Mmmm!" and rolling her eyes to talk much, but I think she might just possibly have enjoyed her steak salad. It certainly looked good. The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable, the decor has a kind of "come on in and make yourself comfortable" kind of ambiance, and it was clear that most of the clientele were locals who would have been just as happy to eat there, even if there had been competition in the neighbourhood. I don't know when I'll be back in that neck of the woods, but when I am, I'm pretty sure I know where I'll be eating.

    This is a filthy light switch that was at our table.

    The service at the Home Made is quick and accurate. The food is good. Location is great for those passing through.

    Slow service. Didn't bring all the food for breakfast at the same time and when the rest arrived it was cold. Runny eggs.

    Every time my husband and I go, it's always been cozy and happy. Waitress was great and food was good.

TL;DR - Solid deli, decent food, and a collegiate atmosphere to tie everything together. Honestly, the place is a 3.5 locale, but the food was really good and the portions were massive. The deli is more than it appears from the outside - part deli, part candy store, part convenience store, and all very welcoming I enjoyed looking around the store as I waited on my food. What m wife and I ordered were the 12" Chicken Philly (me), and the #7 off their board consisting of ham and some other meats I can't recall at the moment, a 12" as well. These appeared as massive, bulging subs filled with everything we asked for. No complaints there. Service was a bit wonky - my sub came out almost immediately, but my wife's order took a strangely long time to make. Not sure as it was one of their run-of-the-mill sandwiches, but it did come out and they were apologetic about the wait. For dessert they have offerings out of a cooler - my wife had a raspberry pie of sorts while I had a Boston Cream Cake. They were fresh and good. In the end, we were both pleased as we had a hankering for subs and we wanted to go local and not big box - the place did not disappoint.
