My husband and I were in Frackville, PA, for a wedding, and we had gone to our hotel to check in, but our room was not quite ready, but they did allow us to check in and gave us a recommendation of this restaurant to have lunch at. I had read the reviews on Trip Advisor, and thought it sounded okay (this restaurant goes by two different names on Trip Advisor, but they are the same restaurant) and we like to keep things local when traveling or at home.
We were there on News Years Eve Day, and it was nicely decorated and the employees were all dressed up, even though it was only 1:30 p.m.! It added a nice festive touch, and the Christmas decorations were up, and Lord knows I do love Christmas decorations!
The positives were that, since we were seated near the kitchen entrance, which isn't always a good thing, but in this case we couldn't help but hear the older employees give advice to the younger ones..."don't you DARE drive and drive, call me for a ride! " and also we saw how they guided the younger ones to take care of the patrons...."go see if they need more coffee" ( I think this was because the young person had just started) and it was always done with kindness.
The waitstaff was wonderful and accommodating. The food....well, I had the meatloaf, and it was okay, my hubby had a hot turkey sandwich. The bread that was brought to our table was thickly sliced and very good. The meatloaf dinner was covered in globs of thick, clumpy gravy from a can, but we were so hungry it didn't matter. My husband also had coleslaw as one of his sides, and it was very good and creamy , finely shredded, not the huge shreds you get at some places. We also received a discount wen we paid the bill and showed our hotel card. The place was clean, and after 3 hours on the road, it was a welcome stop.
