Mystic Kitchen — Restaurant in Back Mountain

Mystic Kitchen, located on 1867 North Memorial Highway in Shavertown, Pennsylvania, is a clean and inviting breakfast/lunch diner with a charming staff. The comfortable establishment consists of a handful of tables with plenty of stool seating at the bar. We were fortunate enough to visit on a sun-filled morning, as the diner’s interior was filled with plenty of daylight coming through the windows. My only complaint is that cushions should be placed on the wrought-iron chairs. We arrived shortly after 11 on a Monday morning, were warmly greeted by our server, and immediately seated. Just before 11:30, our late breakfast was placed on our table.

The three-egg, meat-lovers omelette was very good. The fluffy eggs were filled with ham, sausage, and cheese. The dish came with a side of homefries and two slices of toast.

The show-stopper, however, were the blueberry buckle pancakes, topped with fresh blueberries, powdered sugar, tasty cinnamon strudel, and a rich vanilla glaze. The two pancakes were very big, almost covering the entire plate.

In addition to omelettes, pancakes, and eggs, Mystic Kitchen also offers a variety of hand-pressed burgers, an assortment of sandwiches, wraps, and salads.

Mystic Kitchen inhabits a structure that housed a couple of failures in the past, but I hope this place can survive. Parking is sufficient for such a small diner, but access to the parking lot can be a little tricky, as there is very little space between the highway and the parking lot. Locals can no doubt navigate the entrance and exit points, but I hope those not familiar with the property don’t find it off-putting to the point where they decide to dine elsewhere. It would be a shame, since Mystic Kitchen has a lot to offer their customers in terms of a quick quality meal and...

My friend and I meet once a month or so for breakfast since we are both retired. I suggested this place as I had recently driven by and saw the sign go up. We walked into a very clean establishment. The seating was comfortable. Counter seats were also available but we sat at a table. The menu was clearly printed along with specials. The waitress was very courteous and swiftly brought us fresh, hot, brewed coffee. We each ordered different types of omelettes with home fries and toast. Our breakfasts arrived maybe 10 minutes or less later. We continued to have more coffee. I was impressed because my plate was warm to the touch. So many other places we have been in the past 30 years and one thing I would hate is a cold plate. My omelette was definitely a good size with cheese and real bacon inside(not just cheap bacon bits). Quality is something I look for. The potatoes were a little larger, lightly seasoned and good tasting. There were no onion chunks that other places have that sometimes throws off the flavor. They were also hot along with the lightly buttered wheat toast. The coffee continued as our waitress was very attentive. We noticed that the restaurant continued to fill to about 80% capacity. It was still easy to talk across the table without loud noise. This is definitely a Great place to relax and I am certain we will return. I also plan on taking my wife soon. The prices are reasonable. Keep in mind what's going on with eggs and chicken right now. Our bill for the day was $26 or so and we left a nice tip. We definitely walked out satisfied and will return. I will probably stop by to try out the Lunch Menu too. Thank you Mystic Kitchen for not...

I absolutely loved my first experience at Mystic Kitchen! I enjoy eating breakfast, but not at home (I never make enough time for it). I also enjoy stopping at diners because to me they just have a more "home" type atmosphere and the food tends to be more homestyle than chain restaurants. Mystic Kitchens did NOT disappoint. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was cozy and the food was out of this world good. Now as I said, I enjoy breakfast and love to eat at diners, and strangely, I believe here is no better toast than diner toast, but I've never before have said the toast was even excellent because mostly they all taste similar and are very good, but this toast was amazing!!! The bread was so fresh and toasted to that perfect color, the butter melted perfect and the flavor was just amazing. The coffee was strong and hot and the refills were made promptly. I love my home fries, but normally ask for peppers and onions to be added, but I forgot to ask for the addition, however, unlike other times that happened, I was so glad I did. The home home fries were fried to perfection and so tasty, I will never ask for peppers and onions here! The rest of my meal was equally good, but the toast and home fries were the standout for me. The prices were as I hoped and not overpriced at all. Such a friendly atmosphere. I will be back, as I need more of those breakfasts and I also have some other items I need to try on their menu.

Thank you so much Mystic Kitchen for this...
