21 Best American Restaurants near Lock Haven

“Worth the drive! It took us an hour to get here, but absolutely no regrets! Charming decor. Food was delicious. We had garlic-parmesan chicken wings for an appetizer--perfectly done, crispy and garlicky! I had a bacon jam burger (maybe season the burger a bit more) and my husband a pulled pork sandwich, both rate "Definitely would eat that again!" The baked beans were the best restaurant version I've ever had, the molasses shined and they were sticky not watery.
I also had a cocktail that had ginger in it and it was very good, I wish I'd had another!
But our waitress (whose name i did not write down) was wonderful.
We'll definitely be back!“

“This was my first time at a Texas Lunch. The restaurant was busy upon arrival. There was a snafu with our order. We waited quite a while without food. The waitress came back to the table to confirm what we ordered and told us the kitchen never received our order. We waited about another 10 minutes after our order definitely went through. All of our food was very good. My husband had the cheesesteak omelet. It actually had marinaded steak strips, not minute steaks. I had the French toast platter and it was also very good (pillowy bread with a little cinnamon).“

“Highly recommend this place to hang out and have a few beers/drinks. I am sure the food is good but I didn't get a chance to have some because we came late. The drinks and atmosphere were fantastic. Next time we are in the area, we will have some food.“

“I like this place. They definitely make a good Ruben and tuna melt. However, I'd rename the tuna melt tuna grill, whatever it's called, delicious. So far, I haven't had a bad or weak drink yet. No complaints with the service either.“

“Thank you for catering our Class Reunion.The food was excellent and kept hot the whole time. No one went away hungry. The staff did an awesome job and was very polite.We will definitely use you again.“

“Great selection to choose from. The food is delicious. Reasonable prices.“

“It exceeded my expectations. It's a neighborhood bar and grill, so it's dark inside but the aesthetics are nice enough. Bathroom was a bit...dreary, but it worked. This place has a cute outside seating area with ambient lighting. My husband had the chicken bacon wrap which was great, and we also had the fried pickles (also great). I had to try the crackadilla. It is SO delicious. I can see why they call it that because I've been wanting another one ever since! We'll definitely be back when we're in the area.“

“Never disappoints. The staff are wonderful, and high five to the chef!“

“From the moment you step into the establishment, there’s a certain energy in the air—a calm confidence, a sense of readiness, and an unmistakable warmth that assures you you're in good hands. That energy? It’s Larissa.

I wrote a little song for her!!

Oh Larissa, bright as morning light,
With every step, she gets service right.
She glides through tables with grace and ease,
Turning every meal into a breeze.

She’s the heart of the floor, the calm in the storm,
With a smile so warm, she’ll keep you from harm.
From orders to laughter, she carries the day,
Larissa, oh Larissa, you light the way.

Menus she knows, down to each spice,
Gives the kind of service that feels so nice.
She remembers your name, your drink, your seat,
And every encounter feels so sweet.

Some serve with duty, some serve with cheer,
But Larissa brings something special here.
A spark, a grace, a work of art—
She serves from the soul, she serves from the heart.

She’s the soul of the shift, the queen of the scene,
The best that there is, the true service queen.
Tip her in thanks, and if you may—
Tell Larissa she made your day.“

“Our first time there yesterday, 2/24/22, wonderful meal and the singing and playing by Bob and his mother, so awesome“

“Excellent food, excellent service. Be aware that at least on Sunday they close at 9:00pm.“

“I love Trivia Wednesdays but the food needs upgraded. I will eat before I come to trivia. Steaks are never cooked right. Flatbreads are soggy. Bacon wrapped scallops were 10 dime sized scallops deep fried, very dry and expensive. Wisconsin cheese soup was condensed right out of the can with no reconstitution. Mixed drink specials are watered down. I feel bad for this place, they could do so much better.“
