Cameo drive in — Restaurant in Menallen Township

This was a little bit of an old-school nostalgic drive-in atmosphere, which would make for a fun summer stop for ice cream. We dined in on a Saturday afternoon when there were only 4 other tables of diners inside, with additional outdoor dining. The food came out perfectly hot. The vegetables in my salad were crisp and fresh. The aervings of French fries were large. The food was not oversalted (a common problem with diner-style food). The positives end there. The food was "meh". Cheap, low-quality ingredients, probably frozen rather than made onsite, prepackaged salad dressing, and not a green vegetable on the menu beside salad, with no green veggies on the sides menu.

Strongly recommend stopping by for dinner - and don't forget to...

We stopped here while staying in Biglerville, visiting the Gettysburg NP. We were looking to get out of the downtown Gettysburg area for a dinner and find something a bit cheaper. This restaurant popped up and we decided to give it a try. The service was very friendly and prompt and we felt right at home despite this probably being more of a local's restaurant. The interior is a little sterile and feels more like a breakfast joint. The food was good for the prices, however I could tell that some of it was not fresh and was pre-packaged/frozen. I will say though, for the prices the portions were fantastic and you will definitely not leave here hungry. It's not anyone's idea of gourmet food but if you're looking for a quick, filling meal, this might be a good...
