Pass on this place. Happens all the time. Change your name. It’s specially not the special place. Honestly people around here don’t have money to spend on restaurants. But when we do we expect better. This place is hiding behind the special place name. No longer a quality home cooked place to eat. Don’t compete with the chain restaurants. Overpriced and below sub par. 15.99 for Dried out turkey and burnt filling. Gravy? Barely. And it’s from a jar. If the food is dried out and burnt maybe a full container of gravy would make this meal edible. Sorry no pictures for the pork n sauerkraut. 2 maybe 3 tablespoons of sauerkraut, 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and then dried out pork. Straight in the trash. Shame on this place. Close to $40-50 down the drain. And I’m expecting a sorry from the manager and please call the manager.
Great food, fast service, and great coffee. It was a wonderful surprise as we passed through town. I got eggs, potatoes, and a pancake ????. The eggs aren't super oily, the potatoes are crispy, and the pancake was soft ???? Recommend stopping in for breakfast or brunch. Next time I'm trying the chicken and waffles ????
THIS IS DEFINITELY A SPECIAL PLACE .
AWESOME FOOD AND WORLD CLASS SERVICE.
WAIT STAFF IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS.
Northern Dauphin County rocks hospitality!
Would Rate it a solid 10 out of 5.
First visit for breakfast there with my family. The wait staff was super friendly, although our breakfast took longer than I’m used to for a diner style place. However it was worth the wait! The eggs Benedict was excellent! Only complaints besides the wait are: it’s not set up well for winter, with a cold draft every time the door opens, and way too large servings. I suppose some people like that but nobody needs a 4-egg omelette, and that’s all they have on the menu.
We were here as a family of 15 for Mother’s Day lunch. Everyone enjoyed their food. The dinner portions are very generous, prices fair and the waitress was very pleasant and attentive.
Our server was nice but did not know the menu when asked questions about sides and what’s included. We were there over an hour before our food ever got to the table. Small portions and very long time waiting for our food.
Home cooked tasting meals at a solid value in a small town 30 minutes from Harrisburg. Tasty cheesesteak and hot turkey sandwich was enjoyed by my wife and I. Recommend a trip here.
Had Strawberry Pancakes. They were about 3/4 inch thick and too big to fit on the plate; and doughy in the middle!!! Not good!!! Took most of them home but ended up throwing them out!!!
