Comfort Food Restaurants near Elysburg, PA

“We held my Dad’s funeral luncheon at Ponduce today and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It’s hard to put into words how incredible the venue, the staff (especially Chrissy) and the food was. They made it so low stress for us. The food was absolutely delicious! They even had a sundae bar which was perfect because my dad loved ice cream and he would’ve loved everything about that! From the bottom of our hearts - Thank you, Ponduce. 100/10 would recommend.“

“Cesari's has always been my #1 stop for convenience & it was my personal preference & since they closed, decided to give good ol faithful a try since it was a family favorite (extended family) when I was a kid so I knew it shouldn't disappoint. Now, I KNOW WHY it was one of their favorite spots!I got 2 orders of the 1/2 of a chicken for takeout (we'd always eat in the cafeteria when I'd go with my family). It literally lasted me 2 days & a family member ate the rest- that's how much meat you got! It was juicy and tender- MAJOR plus, bc I HATE chicken but how can you pass up that price & honestly, done right (such as here), it's yummy! I enjoyed the stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. I got the mixed veggies (only complaint I have about that: hard gristle pieces of broccoli stem mixed in. Thankfully I caught it before I ate it & I was at home when I did, bc I WOULD have thrown up). It was only like $20 for 2 meals, the woman at the register for me a foil wrap for my rolls (so they wouldn't get soggy) and gave me a bag so I could hold them (which a lot of the food places do NOT offer!)The boy and girl duo who were working the food counter were very sweet and courteous as well! Thank you for great service & food!“

“Latin Bites is a great place for authentic Puerto Rican food!! The Proprietor’s were very warm and welcoming!!! I found their Pernil to be full of flavor and freshness, of which I’ve had in multiple cities and recently in Puerto Rico!! They even went out of their way to send home some crispy skin from the Pernil!!! It is nice to have a restaurant in our area where you don’t have to drive 2.5 Hours away to acquire authentic food of Puerto Rican descent!!!“
