Best KPortal Reviews

The food here is incredible and the choices are unique and well presented. The staff is very courteous and friendly but they did forget a couple of items we ordered. I have to reserve a star for that and the fact that my stomach never reacts poorly with foods but their pear and cinnamon french toast destroyed me and the orange brandy sauce was terrible. Just avoid that is my advice. I will go back but be a bit more careful choosing their more exotic plates
Very solid diner with great portion sizes, awesome friendly and quick staff, lots of seating and parking.
I took a star away because they definitely have many add-ons that you might not even suspect are add-ons and they really add up quickly. I have been twice now and the servers never mention there will be an up-charge. Some things are clearly laid out for instance adding cheese to your omelette, others like getting cream cheese for a bagel is $2.00 we wouldnt have expected. See bill for breakdown.
Aside from that though the food is good, fresh and portion sizes are nice. Will definitely return.

~Restaurant~
Restaurant itself looked small from the outside, but they have good seating arrangement, you don't feel cramped once you're sitting down inside. Alternatively they have couple tables outdoor (covered) for anyone that wants to nice weather outside. I would also suggest going early, so the wait isn't too long. We went around 9:30AM and were seated right away.

Staff are friendly and somewhat attentive.
~Food~
All the food we ordered are pretty good. What we ordered:
-Omelette with avocado, salsa, sun dried tomatoes and pepper jack cheese. (Eggs and most of the fillings are cooked nicely and very flavorful, bread is nicely toasted and buttered. But the cheese was not melted properly, so it turns into just a glob of cheese, I would most likely skip on the cheese next time. The potatoes are slightly overcooked, a bit tough.
-Bacon (Can't go wrong with bacon, cooked nicely)
-Belgian waffle with Berries. (It is good, apart from Waffle is a little dense)
-Belgian waffle with Banana and Walnut. (Same story. After having some delicious light and fluffy Belgian waffles from another breakfast/brunch restaurant, I think we were expecting the same)
In conclusion, I would go again, since the food is pretty good for the most part, service is good. Although I might modify my order a bit next time around.
Food is absolutely amazing. Love the scrambled eggs with provolone on sourdough with pesto sauce on top. If you're a cheese lover you'll love this. Service is good too!
It was a busy, late Saturday morning when we visited the diner. We waited about 5 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. We had a delicious meal. I had an egg sandwich and my husband had a turkey sandwich that came with homemade chips. Everything was yummy! The diner is nicely decorated. Our waitress was excellent. She was friendly and attentive. The only concern I had was that there's a set of doors they don't want you to use. That's fine, but they have it tied shut with a bungee chord. There's an exit sign above it. I can't believe that is okay with the fire code. Maybe it's okay in Pa, but it wouldn't pass inspection in NY. Other than that, it was a great experience.
Found this place on google. I was in town for a work meeting. Thought we give the place a try before heading back home. I was impressed with the breakfast menu. They have everything! I love a customized omelette! It was delicious. The French toast was amazing!! We received quick service. The only thing I need didn’t like were the flies. Other than that the restaurant has an “at home” feel. And the food is good! I would highly recommend. We’re definitely putting this place on our list for breakfast and brunch for future work trips.
This place is so cute on the inside. I was presented a wonderful breakfast menu and offered coffee right away. Food was great and the service was excellent. They have a house made dill cream cheese that was so yummy. Go here and you will be happy.
The Classic Dinner is a true breakfast gem that never fails to impress. The cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and tempting menu make it my go-to spot. From fluffy pancakes and fresh toast to irresistible omelets, their dishes are bursting with flavors. The coffee is exceptional too. Trust me, this place is a must-visit!
