Blue Mountain Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Upper Bern Township

Me and my family went here during a family outting for dinner on a Saturday. While it seemed like a cute little diner and reviews online were good, we were not pleased with our visit there. Our salads were not just spotted with brown lettuce, but nearly entirely made up of rotten produce. And to my judgment as a previous restaurant worker/server, the lettuce appeared to have been left in water overnight, not just rinsed. Nothing like picking through spoiled tomatoes and wilted lettuce to then bite into watery produce. If that isn't enough of a redflag for you, our meals then came to the table too soon after finding disgusting in our salads. I made the mistake of ordering the shrimp and scallop stir fry which had a very noticeably unpleasant odor. The scallops were mushy and my shrimp was dry. My mistake for ordering seafood, but the rest of my family complained about the sweet meat and sauce in the spaghetti and meatball dinner, a roast beef and brown gravy dinner that tasted like gravy from a jar that was then reheated and roadkill meat (a very off-color gray) and beef tips that tasted entirely wrong. Our bread and potatoes weren't even appetizing. The only thing eaten out of our five dinners was a grilled cheese and fry dinner (my brother must have been hungry because the cheese wasn't even melted but the bread was practically burnt). Our server was very polite along with the rest of the staff, but after taking away our full plates and that fishy odor lingering at the table even after our food was gone, they slapped a 75, SEVENTY-FIVE, dollar bill on us. I don't know what kind of food other reviewers usually eat, but I'd have to agree to disagree with your opinions of this establishment. Definitely will not be returning here and I would not recommend eating anything here that doesn't come...

We thought since this place had relatively good reviews, it would be a good find. We now know to avoid here since there are many others to choose from. Though the establishment is dated and rather odd, it was clean and functional. That did not extend to the salad bar dishes. We both had to shift through several mismatched plates to find one not dirty or full of fingerprints. Good thing they had several to choose from. The menu is very large, with several items found repeated throughout with typos and misprints. It was a bit overwhelming, and clearly, they try to do too much. We waited a reasonable time to order beverages and get menus. Our server was great. Food came in a timely manner, though that's where everything went bad. Ordered the "Fresh" turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and string beans. The turkey was not processed but overdone and extremely dry and unsaveable by the excessively salty gravy. I barely ate any of it, and when the server asked if it was ok, I informed her it was unedible and why. She apologized and took my plate, asked if I wanted anything else, and I told her no as my wife was not impressed by her order either. We received our bill, not even a minor discount, no manager talked to us so I paid. Not 1 attempt to make right a 15$ dish I literally ate a few bites of. Tipped accordingly to a 30$ bill as it was not our servers fault. Avoid this establishment if you want quality. Subway would be a luxurious meal to what we had here, and Subway at least cares if they give you something unedible. It does not take much to make an uneaten dish right to us, but you have to...

We've been to this place a few times , as we have family that lives near by. Each time we go it gets worse. The food is less then mediocre( frozen veggies in an unidentified sauce, weird entree combinations, not so fresh and limited salad bar, raspberry tea that is clearly a bad sugary syrup ,just to name a few) The waitress may have been having a bad day, but that is no excuse for a short and rude attitude. The dishes were dirty (teaglass, salad plates and silverware all had food residue on them)To top this all off I have celiac disease and have to be extremely vigilant about what I'm being served. I noticed a small box on the menu that stated gluten free chicken was available with the salad bar. I informed the waitress of my health issue and order that particular dish. A salad bar is a danger zone for me,but I was able to get a small salad (after digging to find a clean plate). I assumed for $13, which was much more then any of the rest of my dinner parties entrees, that I would receive a piece of chicken & some sort of a side like a veggie or baked potato. All I received was a piece of chicken breast with no flavor. My husband ordered the spinach pie and received a tiny piece,like a child size serving, with frozen veggies in a weird brown sauce. We would have gotten a better meal right down the road at Cracker Barrel for the same price with clean dishes, good service and safer...
