⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Hazey Recollect
This place is a gem! Breakfast was amazing. The food is cooked from scratch and delicious. One of the best diners I've ever been to.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ken Motley
Can’t say enough good things about TJ’s pitstop. Great service and great food all around. Do yourself a favor if you need catering or looking for a bite to eat be sure to stop in breakfast lunch or dinner you won’t regret it!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mike
I have always loved the ambiance here. It is an old Americana Airstream type mobile diner that has been built onto. I hope they never change that part. The people are really friendly. The food is good. The prices are reasonable. Locals love it. Farmers love it. Truckers are always welcome. Stop in sometime.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Christian Stine
Wait staff is extremely friendly. The handmade furniture and collection of trucker stickers create a cozy, welcoming environment. Went twice during our stay. My favorite meal here was the triple scrapple sandwich. You’re gonna wanna eat it over the home fries, cuz when the good stuff falls out of the bun (which it will, regardless of your sandwich eating skill), it’ll be caught in the crispy potatoes. Definitely a great breakfast spot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jeremy Chrisman
Update March 2025 The food and service has been consistently great! I recently discovered the corn beef hash on a recommendation, and it is the best I've ever had, and possibly the best item on the menu here. (See photo) Glad to have another reliable, consistent, and great mom and pop diner to support!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tyler Isley
Amazing hidden gem, authentic truck stop diner. Feels like you're in a movie scene just sitting in here. The Food is 10/10 and the service was great, friendly smiles and faces. Wide selection of food to choose from, open from 0600'-2200
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — William Burnes
The wife and I stopped for breakfast before starting our 13 hour drive back home, and I was determined to eat some scrapple while I was in the area as I've never had it before. Very nice classic diner style, decor was neat, service was quick, waitress was very friendly and most importantly the food was top notch, delicious and plentiful! We had the opportunity to listen to a decorated Vietnam Veteran tell his story of how he earned the Purple Heart medal, and that made the experience just that much nicer. The wife and I stopped and thanked him for his service before leaving. Real food, real people in a classic diner setting, 100% recommended!
