Such a quaint old style diner that has great prices, amazing food and amazing service. I stop there every time I'm in the area.

Parking: Easy entry for handicap but their restrooms are old so difficult for anyone with a walker.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is fine and plenty of seating that would be comfortable for those using a wheelchair or walker. Their restrooms are not large enough however as the restaurant was built 40+ years ago.

Small older restaurant. They serve breakfast buffet on the weekend and lunch buffet all week.

Service is wonderful and the food is very good. Prices are very reasonable. The buffets are small but the food is excellent.

My favorite is the chocolate gravy on the breakfast buffet. So good powered over your waffle, pancake or biscuit. But I also like just eating it out of a bowl. Reminds me of warm chocolate custard.

We went on a very busy Saturday morning. We got a table pretty quick and the waitress warned us the meal could be a little slow coming out due to the crowd, which we appreciated the heads up. My daughter and I ordered hot chocolate, which was terrible. It had no chocolate, so we told the waitress. She went in back and found out the hot chocolate was basically empty and got us new cups with extra whip, this made my daughter very happy. The second attempt was very very good hot chocolate. Good was solid

The Panel Room is from a time I feared America lost. It’s from a time where every small town had a local restaurant that was renowned for something - but actually good at everything. A family business, for families to enjoy. Where prices are maintained for years because owners down want people to think they are trying to get rich and they are getting by just fine (while giving more and more money to their staff so they can make it). Where the food is prepared fresh, from local small backyard gardens by the patrons of the restaurant. Where the server is your mom’s best friend, knows everyone, never stops moving, keeps your glass full, and knows your order soon as you walk in. (I admit, I love being called sweetheart too). A place that can be counted upon to be open is a snow storm, support the local kids baseball team, and have a jar at the front taking extra change for a person in need. I’ve traveled the world. Ate cold Army chow out of a bag to not starve, ate Michelin Star restaurant chow I couldn’t afford, and sat at my grandmothers table eating the finest food love could prepare. The Panel Room is one of my favorite places in America. Because it’s a Time Machine back to my childhood. A reminder of the values of a family and community that is exactly like my home 1000 miles away. This place is more than special. It’s exceptional. And don’t forget, the food is amazing. Thank you Panel Room. For keeping just a little bit of my American childhood alive. The food and service was the best I’ve ever had. Grandma would be proud.
