The Farmer's Table — Restaurant in Blossburg

We went here for breakfast around 10AM on Sunday morning. The place was not very busy. There are about 12 tables in the whole place and 2 waitresses. Our waitress had just come in around 9 and seemed very out of it. She wrote down our orders and repeated them- which we had to correct a little. Then the WAIT began. It was about 10:25 when we put in our order- nothing fancy, just pancakes and their "special" French toast. It took until 11:10 for us to get our food! 45 minutes! The "farmer" came out a few times to sit with the locals and chat. The other waitress was busy trying to take care of her tables and noticed that I had not had my coffee refilled, so she did that for me. Our waitress seemed scattered and was either taking phone orders, washing dishes or trying to keep up with the continuous flow of new customers. She did not come by once to fill up our water glasses or ask if we needed more coffee. The pancakes were very large, heavy, and crispy on the edges- hard to finish- perhaps they were sitting under a lamp for half an hour? The butter packets on top were totally melted. One of our party ended up eating just half of the pancakes and threw...

We got some burgers and an omelette as well a cheesesteak, all the food was pretty good and especially the burgers and bison burgers were excellent, except the loaded baked potatoes which were obviously microwaved, which was unfortunate considering the restaurant is based on local food being served fresh, but I digress. The waitress seemed a little out of it however we all got our food how we asked so no harm no foul. The atmosphere for the restaurant was a bit different but aesthetically it is a nice place. Wait was a bit long but judging by the help wanted sign on the front window they are simply just short staffed. The prices were fair I thought for what you get but $8 for a microwaved baked potato is pretty silly. Still a nice place, though. They also have a great in house bbq sauce. And my sweet potato fries were delicious. But again microwaved potato’s at a place seemingly dedicated to fresh food is a bit...

Happiness is homemade. It is a sign that greets you at the counter; that and the case of gorgeous pies and cookies. So if you are driving on the nearby highway or just visiting the area, this is the place to go eat.

For me, my first dine was the sausage egg sandwich. It is fantastic and the sausage is made in the restaurant. Really! Your first bite tells you it is homemade. The meat has flavor. The egg is cooked to perfection. That and a cup of decaf tea should have been the morning meal. But a smiling slice of homemade coconut cream pie called to me, and it did not disappoint. You can see it is packed with coconut.

Farmer's Table is that local spot where you feel good as soon as you enter. The staff are friendly and the patrons are friendly. Of course everyone is friendly, it is Blossburg.

So stop by for a slice of homemade friendliness and have some tasty calories. You will be a better...
