I got a boring vanilla sundae with chocolate sauce whipped cream and a cherry and a bottle of water. It was over 8$. The place is very cute with soldier statues and a large ring game in the exterior. There are tables and picnic tables outside. It's very relaxing and a beautiful place to enjoy homemade ice-cream. S'coupe de Ville is the best ice-cream I've had, and Leibys is a close second.

I can't imagine they make a living from walk-ins buying a pastry or two, so they must do most of their business in wedding cakes and catering. I hope so, because I hope they stay in business a long time!

We decided on trying the Wild Thang, Freak Shake and let's just say it was well presented and very unique and a nice size. The chocolate cake that topped it was amazing in itself and the milkshake was in the money. They had a staff of three working and it was just a bit slow but efficient, needs a little refinement, especially with the volume of people waiting in line, it did move along .... Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Very unique twisted ice cream flavors, there is such a nice assortment to choice from, they have various shakes, waffle sundaes, all are extremely unique ! This is a really nice family owned business and it's highly recommended to stop in here and get your ice cream fix in. You will enjoy it Side Note: Not sure what food service protocol is in PA, but in our opinion the workers should wear gloves and hair protection, neither being used by staff and it could be a violation since they are reaching across ice cream containers and standing over them ! Also, did not see any Food-Serve Certifications ? * This was the reason of not giving a 5-Star, 3-Star is warranted due to improper food handling

Sure, here's a generic review for a Chesapeake Benedict dish: The Chesapeake Benedict dish I had was truly exquisite. The combination of flavors was delightful, and each ingredient was perfectly balanced. The eggs were poached to perfection, with a velvety yolk that flowed beautifully when I cut into them. The hollandaise sauce had a rich and creamy texture, adding a lovely tanginess to the dish. The addition of Chesapeake Bay-inspired elements, such as crab meat or Old Bay seasoning, brought a unique twist that elevated the overall experience. Mandy and Steph provided outstanding, friendly service! Enjoy! read more

Lunch is less $ than a stop at McDonald's. Almost always get the fried cod sandwich, it's big and very tasty. Soups are excellent, meaty chicken noodle and (when they have) it stuffed pepper soup tastes like a stuffed pepper. . Their cakes come from Baltimore and are wonderful, I promise you will never forget the baklava cake, when they have it prepare to share, decadent and large slice for what it is. Their iced tea is the best. Service is fast (when they're not swamped) and friendly, I come once a month on road trips but they remember me and check if everything is ok and a drink refill a couple of times. Good thing I don't live closer, probably would go once a week or more. Ambiance is different but friendly depending where you sit. At the counter I run into regular locals almost every visit. They are friendly and love, share stories and joke with their waitresses. But this is more than a diner. As well as the classic diner they have a private dining room for about 20 and a large dining room for more than 75. Some lunch times it has 50. Locals, travelers and truckers come here for lunch.

We both went with the dinner specials, which were only 14.99 each and came with two sides. I ordered the ribs and my husband got the NY strip with butterfly shrimp. For the price, the portions were honestly huge. My ribs were fall off the bone tender and coated in a tangy BBQ sauce that had just the right balance of sweet and smoky. Easily one of the better diner style rib plates I have had. The fries were natural cut, perfectly seasoned, and had that ideal texture where they are pillowy inside with a light crisp on the outside. The succotash was simple but still good and comforting. My husband's steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had great flavor throughout. The butterfly shrimp were crispy and paired really well with the steak. His side salad was super fresh with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, and shredded cheddar. I did not even get a photo of it because he immediately dug in and loved it. The service really stood out too. Everyone was so attentive and quick to help with anything we needed like extra napkins or more sauce. It felt very welcoming and genuinely cared for. The interior has that true hometown diner feel where it seems like everyone knows each other. It is mostly booths with some tables and even a classic counter with stools, which gives it that nostalgic diner vibe. With both meals and drinks, our total was under $40, which feels rare lately for portions and quality like this. This is one of those spots where you leave full, happy, and feeling like you got an actual deal. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.
