What a great surprise in a very unsuspecting location. You have to drive a little but worth every mile. The prices are a little on the high side but the food, service and ambiance are all 4 star. We will be back. Bacon wrapped water chestnuts are a must order appetizer. read more

If finding a place off the beaten path that will Always provide a memory then this is the place to go. When I say it's off the beaten path unless you know how to look for a hidden gem you may overlook this place. This 147 year old building restaurant, house and inn is more than just the history. Because when you walk into this home you realize you have found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The golden unicorn. As soon as I opened the menu I said I'm in trouble this all sounds fantastic. Let me tell you was I right! The appetizer candy they call bacon wrapped water chestnuts. The special oysters blue, the French onion soup, the bread and butter, the salad the steaks the sides the dessert. I'm telling you the water tasted amazing. Both my business partner and I left satisfied and telling everyone about this place. Oh and the best part. NO CELL SERVICE. It felt great seeing people actually interact. It was like stepping back in time to when a meal was meant to be enjoyed with laughter and love. read more

The Wayside is a cozy spot with attentive service and delicious food--from the garden salad with fantastic dressings, to the unique horseradish salmon, filet mignon au poivre, and carrot cake. Oh, and the tastiest smoked Old Fashioned I've ever had. Thanks, Mike, for the most memorable meal of the year. read more

This quaint and superb restaurant is a true treasure! Reservations are a must. Outstanding Seafood and Steaks. Service and quality, long to be remembered. read more

We have been coming here for 50 years and the dining experience is still second to none in the area. The service was quick and efficient, with our server being appropriately witty and conversational. The ambiance hasn't really changed in decades, you feel as if you have been transported back in time, with shareable portions of delicious food and tables all interacting as if all one large giant dining experience. It is hard to get there early enough at this time of year to enjoy the drive down to the restaurant, but I want to suggest that you try because the beautiful surroundings are as much of a star as the restaurant itself. Do yourself a favor and plan a night out here with a group, there isn't a finer destination for miles. read more

2nd trip with a group of 18 was just as good as the first. This time I remembered to take pictures. read more

Fresh local food. Very upscale in a 140 year old inn. The walleye and bruschetta were fantastic. Cakes and pies are made daily from scratch. read more

If you find yourself in the area, certainly stop by for some of this quality food! As one reviewer mentioned, it's a "hidden gem". Its been about 15 yrs since I ate here and it's still high quality food with a well-rounded menu. Definitely delicious: salmon, ribeye, filet, baked potato, green beans, bread, and carrot cake w/ creme Options: house wines in all categories (J. Lohr) at $6 glass & more than 5 desserts to choose from Other notes: authentic and historic home-like decor allowing cozy seating and separate dining rooms, great service from waiters, consistent customers from local region and others from throughout PA I'll be back sooner than later to order the crab cakes, halibut cheeks, or shrimp & penne dish. read more

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. Our waitress was over the top fantastic!! I love that it is reservation only, just walk in and your table is ready for you! The food, oh my goodness, the food is so perfect. Everyone in the room gave their meals a 10!! I did not take any pictures, but all the photos I have seen online are accurate. The presentation is phenomenal!! Kudos to the entire staff!! read more

We went with a group that were all first timers at this place. What a pleasant surprise. The food was outstanding. The menu was like nothing in the area. They have a great restaurant here and not sure why none of us knew nothing about it. Old looking house from the outside, but very quaint place on the inside. At first glance I thought it was a dive bar (which honestly in the area, that is all there is). Upon entering it is an old restored house. The place has regular menu with many great seafood and pasta offerings. The Friday night we went they had an additional special menu that also had many different offerings for just about anyone. I settled on the seafood bake, which had crab, scallops, fish, and shrimp over a penne with an outstanding sauce. The entire group of us was very happy finding this diamond in the rough. I will say it is a bit pricey, but worth every penny as the food and service were excellent. Those of you that travel north from Pittsburgh area to your cabins, will be happy to stop at this place for a nice dinner, rather than the typical bar food fare. read more

What a contradiction of experiences! This place is in the middle of nowhere in a converted house; it looks old on the outside but quaint on the inside. Dining rooms are upgraded with new flooring, paint, and decorations, but bathrooms are dingy. We had the lobster ravioli and the seafood bake for about $30 each. Very fresh ingredients, nicely cooked, flavorful, and adequate portions. Our only complaint was the use of hot red pepper flakes in the cream sauces; our mouths were burning and it took away from the delicate crab taste. read more

My husband and I were in the area last year, looking for a bite to eat. This place came up on yelp and decided to give it a try.It was an older building however when we sat we realized the history of the building, the food was excellent!! The service was excellent! We went again just this past weekend. Still a great place. The food never disappoints. read more

A little gem in the middle of nowhere! Ambience was wonderful a little down homey kind of fancy place (think of it as an upscale Cracker Barrel). I loved the food, although it was a bit pricey and I did not sample their full bar, but it looked well stocked. Bathrooms are a little cramped and the place is definitely not wheel chair friendly. I would have given this place five stars, but our service was very slow. Our food came out in the wrong order some was lava hot and others lukewarm and our waitress was a bit inattentive. Overall I would go back, but not for awhile for it was a little to pricey for me. Definitely a special occasion kind of place for me. read more

My in laws have been coming here for years and it's not as good as it used to be but it's the best restaurant for miles. Veal, steak or steak are all very good. Hungarian stuffed pepper appetizer is excellent. Get the Veal steak when they have it. Early bird specials are a good deal if you are ok eating before 5:30. read more

Yet another awesome anniversary meal at Wayside! I had the lobster ravioli (mouth-watering) and my husband had the steak au poivre. Awesome food yet again! Never disappointed here! read more

My fiance and I came here following a recommendation, looking for something other than the typical bar food commonly found in the area. It's a small space, but the decor, furniture, and layout immediately remind you of dinner at your grandmother's home. It seemed like a lot of the customers were regulars, and the staff would sit down at the tables with them. I had stuffed cod with hollandaise sauce, served with salad, bread, asiago mashed potatoes, and veggies. Everything was delicious. A little pricey, but nothing absurd. It's definitely a uniquely warm and welcoming atmosphere, with high end food at the same time! read more

I grew up in this small town and went to this restaurant for years. The building has been around since 1872. Built by Joseph Schettler and operated as a tavern and hotel during the stagecoach era. When I was young it was owned by Helen Schill or Mrs. Hitler. She was a squirrelly woman who would get up early every morning and do her baking and cooking, which included homemade pies and canned goods for her restaurant. Not knowing as a child, it was probably one of the best restaurants in the state. Now she has long since past and there have been multiple owners since. I'm not sure who the new owners are but I recently visited. The food was...Excellent!! Unfortunately there weren't any homemade canned pickles for appetizers but it really still was quite good. They have kept the "grandmas house" feeling to it. I would say it is almost as good as when Mrs Hitler had it and the place would have made her proud. read more

Food was good. The portion you got for the price is high. We went there for our anniversary with friends of ours. The waitress didn't know half the questions we ask about the food. Didn't ask if we wanted refill on our drinks. Then the owner pushed us out because he said he had a other part coming in. This made our friends feel very uncomfortable we will never go back. I called the owner and he hung up when I told him that he was rude with us. read more

WOW, what a great place. A little off the beaten path, but worth the time to get their. My wife had the salmon and it was perfectly cook. The tomahawk pork chop was excellent. Stay for an after dinner drink at the bar with the owner Chris. He is a great guy and interesting to talk to. read more

Blown away by this quaint charming restaurant inside an old historic house. Great food. Great service. We all ordered steaks and they were cooked to perfection. May I suggest the au poivre! It's fantastic. A must try if you're in that neck of the woods! read more

What a pleasant surprise; A gem hidden in the middle of no where. This old house is cozy and clean inside. The tables are placed inside what used to be the living room and dinning room of the home. The food is excellent! I went with a party of 4 and we ordered the Brie bites and bacon wrapped jalapeño shrimp as apps; the Chilean sea bass, shrimp scampi, lobster ravioli, and chicken Parmesan as the main course; followed by the Crēme brûlée, cheesecake, and creamy peach pie for desert. All of the food was presented and done well, nothing frozen here. They have a large wine list as well as draft beer and liquor. I had a Jim beam rye old fashion, it was done well. I highly recommend the Wayside Inn and can't wait to go back! read more

My husband and I frequently travel from Chicago to CT to visit family. We stay in Clarion, PA as a halfway stop. A year ago we found the Wayside Inn. Wow!! It is charming, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent! We enjoyed it so much the first time that we went back during the holidays. Now we find ourselves traveling to CT again and plan to celebrate Valentine's Day with dinner at the Wayside Inn. I don't think you could possibly order anything that wouldn't be incredible. Be sure to try the seafood bake....Yum!!!! read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The owners,waitresses,the food amazing. I have not had a bad meal yet from soup to nuts always been consistent and delicious,enjoyable,relaxing. 10 stars all the way. what a gem! Update: We have been going to this place for years, we go about every three months. Always taking friends. Notice things being little different. Crab cakes are delicious. I always get them noticed the usual 2 very small cakes were size what 1 use to be. I don't mind paying more if prices of crab goes up. But I do mind paying same price for something that is now scaled way back. I mentioned it to owner of course disagreed. But even looking at these pictures of posted guest pics. He is mis guided. Little arrogant at times. Could improve on being a great host. Going again this is now 2nd time this month. I will see how it goes. But I can find great places anywhere! The waitresses are very sweet and food is undeniably good. But don't change a good thing. No longer 5 star read more

Dinner was small lunch sized portions and overpriced. The server was pushy and in a hurry. She took plates away before some in our group were finished with their food. Didn't let us order desert and the manager rushed us out because he had another party, we had reservations too! When one of our party called to complain, manager hung up on him. VERY DISSATISFIED read more

Found this place online and thought we'd give it a try while in the area. We even made a reservation as suggested. When our GPS told us we had arrived, I thought it was wrong, but it wasn't. The place isn't much to look at from the outside and the Cola sign out front makes it seem more like a sandwich place. We walked in and the place is decorated with an antique charm. Staff was friendly. The early bird special had several choices. The food was absolutely delicious right down to the included dessert, ice cream sundae. The food was not just home cooking but gourmet chef home cooking. We would definitely recommend. read more

The seafood and meats are okay. All of the pasta dishes I have tried here taste like something I could make out of home with a box of noodles and a jar of Regu. The owner seems to be very friendly in an awkward yet obvious kind of way. Prices are pretty high and the falling apart building and tacky decor contribute to that. But overall if you don't mind fake staff and high prices the meat dishes are recommended. read more

My wife and I were at Wayside on /18/17. It was fantastic, to say the least. Great, friendly service. Food was exquisite and not overpriced. We will definitely be going again on our next trip north. read more

This establishment honesty doesn't even deserve to earn one star. Not only was the food subpar, but the staff was as well, including the hard-headed owner who thinks that dinner should take two hours. My French onion soup came out right away and was probably the only decent thing that I had the whole meal. The other two people that I was dining with got salads, yes salads, after roughly 40 minutes sitting there. Following the salads(which were subpar as well), we received our food that took an hour and ten minutes to be served. One diner's steak was undercooked, the chicken breast seemed to have been almost microwaved or something, and for waiting over an hour for food, you would think a steak could at least be cooked to order. When approaching the owner afterwards, he basically told us that we were lying about the service and that we should figure dinner is supposed to be two hours. Are you kidding me? I don't know where he was trained but it was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had at a restaurant, especially after working in one for a period of time when I know how a good family owned restaurant is supposed to operate. I would never recommend The Wayside Inn to my worst enemy, and not to any of the respectable people here on Yelp. DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

Not sure what the previous post is all about, but this place is very good. It is very unique and fits in with the rural setting. The building is an old farmhouse of sorts and the interior is not cosmo, that's for sure, but the food is the best around. Take time to make the drive. The Caesar salad is well worth the up-charge and I have had two outstanding meals both times I have been there(which is twice in the last two months). I plan on making the hour drive again very soon. read more

From the salad, appetizers, bread, meal, drinks, service, and desserts it is perfect. I never write reviews. Been on lots of cruises and they provide better than cruise ship quality dining. read more
