Centerville Diner 2 — Restaurant in Mount Joy

This diner was an utter and ghastly experience. From start to finish, the food was subpar and the cleanliness was questionable. My French onion soup tasted suspiciously of chicken bouillon, and the cheese was frankly rancid. Despite the incredibly kind and attentive service from our waitress, Emily, two attempts at the soup yielded the same disappointing result. The replacement, delivered by the owner, was no better. The “whole milk” I ordered tasted appalling and visibly looked as it had a thick white/pasty texture in the middle of the milk. Never seen something like that before.

The main course of fries, eggs, and toast fared no better. The fries were bland, disintegrating, and utterly unappetizing - a first for me. Even the simple eggs and toast couldn't save the meal, but the eggs and toast were the best things during the whole experience, which is sad. Then, to top it all off, my initial vanilla milkshake arrived in a glass caked with what appeared to be dried chocolate chip ice cream spots and a sticky substance covered the glass. While a replacement milkshake was provided in a clean glass by the waitress, it was only barely average.

While I commend Emily's excellent service, the consistently poor quality of the food and the unsanitary condition of the glassware overshadowed any positive aspects. This was easily the worst diner experience of my life, and there are certainly better options available in the Mount Joy area.

I strongly advise avoiding this...

My husband and I had stayed in Mt Joy for a couple of days prior to sailing out of Baltimore for a cruise. We really love the small town "mom and pop" style establishments vs. chain restaurants because they always have great food. We were recommended to give Centerville Diner 2 a try for dinner. I'm so glad we did!! It was quite busy when we arrived (we believe that's always a good sign). We were promptly seated, and it didn't take long for our server to take our drink order. It took us longer to look over the menu because there was so much to choose from! My husband settled on a burger and fries, and I selected the turkey over filling. I must admit, being from Ohio, I had never heard it called "filling" before - we always call it stuffing or dressing. Our meal came out fairly quick. It was hot and well portioned. But the flavor is only what I could describe as "OMG delicious!!!". This was down-home comfort food at its finest! I'm so glad we tried this place. The best part, aside from the food, service, and atmosphere, was that we didn't spend a fortune. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I keep telling my husband that we need to make this a yearly trip - if not for the drive to Baltimore, at least to devour another...

I don't know what happened in a month since I've been coming in on a regular business. I walked i. Today on a Sunday, and they are playing rap music, no big deal, but I sit at the counter as I usually do, there are three hostess standing there chatting away as I sat there waiting for a server for about 7 or 8 minutes and finally one of the hostess girls asked if I need a menu, and I said yeah, she said I didn't know what you were doing it looks like you knew what you were doing and I said I do I'm sitting at a cou ter seat waiting for a server like you do in any restaurant with a counter seat area. She give me a menu and I look at the menu and then still sit there and wait another 5 minutes , no one asked for a drink order or anything and finally after after about 3 table were sat and orders taken after the forth was sat and got immediate service I stood up and said I guess there is no server for me and walked out. I guess I shall go to mount joy...
