    Charming and quite popular diner located in downtown Wellsboro. I stopped in at 10:30 AM expecting a modest size crowd, however the diner was packed (mostly with regulars). The building is from the 1930's and still has that feel (in a good way). Despite being crowded the service was quick and friendly. The menu offered typical diner fair that was rather tasty. They also serve gigantic cookies if you were looking for something to cap your meal off with.

    Quintessential small town diner. I selected this spot for a second breakfast at the end of my long drive to the Pine Creek Rail Trail. I'd recommend it to anyone just passing through town just because the service was as expeditious as it could have been. When it came to the food, I was also impressed by the cinnamon roll being genuinely home made without that typical slightly-overcooked shell. The omelette for $9.99 was also great. These days, I can really appreciate an uncomplicated, affordable menu. I think you will, too, and you'd be missing out if you skipped this restaurant due to the bizarre critiques levered in some of the negative reviews.

    Always a must when staying in Wellsboro. Great food, great service always! I got the Cheesesteak. Provolone, caramelized onions, peppers, side of Onion Rings, mozzarella sticks. Everything was great, perfectly cooked. Rings and sticks were crunchy, awesome. I will always eat here, everytime I'm in town.

    The ambiance of the diner is super cute! The outside and inside of the diner feels like what'd you see in a diner from the 90's. Not a bad thing but one interesting observation I found was that the menu is quite small compared to other diners I've been to. Service was very good as we were seated right away and the food came out shortly after ordering. The food itself though I found to be very disappointing. Specifically, I got a chicken sandwich which comes with chips. The sandwich was decent however what I was turned off by the chips was literally a bag of lays potato chip.

    Been here four times when we visit Wellsboro to hike. I'm surprised with the low reviews but feel this is the best restaurant in the area. Many times we come it is busy. We still enjoy the atmosphere particularly around the bar. Staff and owner has always been friendly. Jamie took great care of us tonight although she said to night was her last night. Good selection of beer. We find the food to be the winner. My wife tried the haddock and I had the chicken parm entree. Very pleased with both.

    Very sophisticated and efficient diner. I found the outside to be a tad rustic (standard for a diner), but the inside was sleek and modern. There was only one waitress and one cook but they were faster than McDonald's. I ordered eggs, toast, home fries, and bacon and it was served to me in minutes. Best diner fare I've had. Excited to go back and try dinner.

    Come here for the novelty but be prepared for over priced mediocre food.

    I really hope management can re-vamp their menu and improve the food quality! Too bad the food was so disappointing since the service was great, the restaurant was clean and the ambiance was fun, old-timey novelty. However, this place is CRAZY overpriced for what it is!!! We got two sides and two slices of pie, with tip - be prepared to spend $50 for below average food. We came here to try the pies (oreo and egg custard) and that was a huge mistake!! I felt like crap for hours after The oreo pie crust was mushy and the filling...well, it was bland, heavy, and...well frankly, off. The egg custard pie was mediocre. At the last minute, we decided to try the fried chicken and...meh. However, the liver and onions were good!! Extra star for that! Go here for the liver and onions and super friendly service!!

    These other posts knocking this place on their breakfast menu is silly. It's a breakfast DINER. They are doing the best the can being a tiny spot. Food was great and just on point for a diner. Prices are comparable for the town they are in. If you're a normal person and expect diner food at a diner while in Wellsboro then you will not be let down.

    The waitress was incredibly quick and kind. The classic 50s style brought a smile to our face as we remembered how much our grandparents loved this classic diner. The food is typical diner food, but perfect for a family breakfast or lunch.

    This is not going to be an easy review to write. I have so many conflicting thoughts and…read morefeelings... reviewing a restaurant should never be this dramatic! Seriously though... speaking as someone who was a partner in two restaurants in NYC for 4 years, who does not claim to "know it all" but knows some tricks of the trade... I think they've got great potential and would like to share my thoughts with them. Saying they've "got potential" probably come across as smug, obnoxious, and ridiculous, especially because they've got like 4.6 stars here on Yelp! And that's mainly why I found myself here... Staying in Mansfield for the night, I looked up restaurants that were enroute to our hotel. Some of them had 3 or 3.5 stars and I said "no way." But 4.6 stars with as many reviews as The Farmer's Table has? Absolutely! The atmosphere is a little bit diner but cozy enough and has the farm as a theme. There are some cool design elements, like the steel ceiling, the tables... The bathroom was clean and well stocked, and that's a really good sign that the place is sanitary and organized. The waitress was really, really nice... and we loved that we were in this tiny little town and yet she had this really cool, funky image. Great fingernails! I'm jealous! A tip for her to make service even better... think about sequence of service. Think about the extras that the customer will want with the specific thing they ordered so that they won't have to bother you. If they order something with fries, definitely put ketchup on their table, and do it before the food is delivered. There were also a lot of empty tables with salt shakers, but it's had none. Some customers notice these little things and appreciate a server who anticipates their needs. On the other hand, maybe she was just really slammed busy before we got there. My wife and I waited like 2 minutes for her to take my order and she apologized profusely for having us wait so long for her. I was like, "am I in Manhattan or wut???" She was on point, generally easy to find when we needed her, she was never trying to hide from customers (a huge no-no) and very well-intentioned. Definitely a keeper. The food though... I was surprised we didn't like it very much being the reviews were so good. When I got the check to pay, I asked the server what their most beloved and popular dishes are. She said that ppl order a lot of the prime rib sandwich, and also the cat fish. Incidentally, I had ordered the prime rib sandwich, and my wife had the breaded cat fish. I was expecting a lot more meat on my sandwich, and the bun was just a regular burger bun, but it was ok. It came with 3 slices of pickle and cost $11.90. I was still hungry after that so I finished my wife's catfish 'cuz she gets full easily. I liked the catfish more, but neither of us thought it was anything special. What was special were the prices. The catfish included 2 sides, and it cost less than $14. Being from NYC, it was so refreshing to see pricing that reminded me of year 2000! A burger for $7.85 that's not Burger King? Incredible! But the cole slaw... ewww. I didn't hate it, but I kind of forced myself to eat it even though it had a strange flavor. The sweet potato fries were ok. Everything was basically O.K. I imagine that, if I lived there, I would go pretty regularly cuz it's probably the best thing the neighborhood has in a few square miles, and it's easier and more fun than cooking at home (if you're not a cook and you're busy at work). But I think that some improvement in the food could make the place more of a destination. And a destination could actually bring more business to the surrounding businesses! I can understand if the townspeople want very basic food there, but at least offer a few specials that are fancier, better ingredients, something that stands out and is memorable. I know I'm spoiled coming from NYC... a 4.6 star review in places like Manhattan are different than a 4.6 star review in a small town. But this place has some nice things about it. Take it all the way!

    The Farmer's Table was the perfect lunch stop for our road trip. The server was kind and checked on…read moreingredients for us (stay away from the fries/sweet potato fries if you're gluten free). The food came quickly and was absolutely delicious!

    HOTEL GUEST FREE BREAKFAST REVIEW…read more Our stay at Penn Wells Hotel in downtown Wellsboro, PA, included complementary breakfast each morning. It was provided in the farthest partition of the large dining room, immediately outside the kitchen door. It was available daily between 7-10 a.m. The dining room was mahogany wall covered with B&W photos of past events and celebrities of the 19th and early 20th Century, and paintings by local artists. It wasn't bad as a gallery of historic personalities and moments in the long life of this hotel, and its status as the coolest place to be seen in town. Breakfast itself was decent, but far from outstanding. As the saying goes; "You're paying for the atmosphere," if , in fact, you're paying at all. The menu consisted of instant scrambled eggs, brown & serve morning sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, cups of yogurt, fresh fruit, instant oatmeal and Starbucks coffee. Buffet style, you can return for as much as you wanted. I didn't load up due to my physical plans for each day, but ate enough to know it was all satisfying and filling; especially the java. It was a good place to start the day. There was plenty of room. We were allowed to sit anywhere in the large dining room, and the chafing trays were kept warm and refilled. Aside from the "instant" nature of most of the food, the break was well worth the fast.

    The salmon was excellent done with a light orange sauce. Our server was attentive and friendly.

A different waitress came with the menu and took our drink orders; reasonably friendly. A group of farmer looking folks walked in (classic overalls, fishing caps etc) and looked at us like we just stole their spot or something- guy even pointed at us when talking to the person behind the counter then the waitress returns to take our orders and I asked her why they were looking at us that way and she said she really didn't know but they stopped after we ordered *shrug* My son said his burger was exceptionally delicious and my Philly Steak sandwich was very good, French fries were exceptional for a diner. Clean and reasonably comfortable; they only had a single bathroom so I guess you can call it gender neutral. Place is retro; modern by mid-twentyish century standards. Service was very good overall, She served out food promptly / hot and out glasses were never empty I didn't have enough cash but they accepted a (good) check. (No credit/debit card service or ATM)
