This place checks all the boxes, right off the road, easy access parking. The staff here is super nice & friendly, it's literally at the base of the mountain, I'd imagine it's absolutely gorgeous here during the spring, it's so pretty in the winter time.I came for the breakfast and it was awesome, if you like scrapple I highly recommend it.Everything is reasonably priced here and the quality of the food is awesome

Another great find along the backroads of Pennsylvania. Nothing fancy but good quality food and a super nice waitress. The atmosphere is what you would expect. Perfect!Stop and eat some lunch while you enjoy watching the birds out the large windows.

Driving back from Pittsburgh, we decided to find a place with some mountain charm and Foot of the Mountain fit the bill and more. Great salads, Roast Beef and gravy, turkey gravy, fries and more. Home made corn fritters were awesome. I had the wings and if you follow me at all you know I try wings EVERYWHERE I go.These wings on the menu were priced at about $1 a wing which to my Baltimore city wallet was suspect. I mean value like that normally means pre-breaded, pre-cooked wings.NOT the case here. Plump. Jucy. Crispy. Large. Everything I look for in wings and great price too.A few additional personal touches. The server was quick to check with the kitchen on our questions and did not just B.S. us on things. But something very rare, the cook came out to see how we liked the wings, which they just recently changed where they get them from. All very personal touch feeling.We took about an extra 30 minutes out of our way and it was more than worth it. We will be back.

Service was outstanding and I hate that I can't remember our waitress's name. Food was good. Enjoyed the western omelet. The scrapple wasn't worth it.

We were looking for a place to eat on our trip to Tennessee. This was perfect for lunch. Food was great and the service was very good. My drink was never empty, the waitress warned me of the heat in the me wrap I ordered, and the speed of the food was wonderful. Highly recommend this little restaurant at the foot of the mountain.Kid-friendliness: Had a kids menu with games to keep our 10 year old entertained.
