"A ! I definitely recommend a visit to NSD, and although I 'm still not happy Advance Auto Parts turned me away for being too early, I am very happy about my lunch here while I wait. I had a diet Coke to start with, and must say that while other restaurants are shrinking the portions, that doesn 't appear to be the case here. In fact, quite the opposite! Now, the French onion soup was served hot as the sun in a standard sized crock with a handle built in (spin the serving plate, do NOT touch the handle at first! , and it was quite nice. The provolone was gooey in the center with a light crust on the edge. The bread, onions and soup were just as you 'd expect them to be with a hint more seasoning involved so you could describe it any way except bland, because it was not. Good to the last drop, which I tipped the bowl to get after it had cooled a bit. The open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and yellow gravy was very tasty, and if your stomach is sensitive to seasonings and hot flavorings you can feel confident ordering this. Your stomach will thank you! Temperature-wise, it was served hot enough but not too much, and the portion size filled my plate. If you 're just looking for a comfort food meal that 's not going to rock the boat for sensitive stomachs and tender tummies, this will be a good choice for you. The service at the counter was good, and they had MacGyver on the TV above the pass-thru from the kitchen, so you 'll forget about any of the short to normal wait times for your food items. If I had to give one negative about the place just to prove I 'm not an employee or a paid sponsor, I 'd say that today, June 30, 2022, it was a bit warmer inside than I expected. Hot near a kitchen? Go figure, right?!! Maybe the AC wasn 't turned on? Maybe it 's acting up? All in all it 's not a deal breaker. Stop in and grab a bite to eat. Car parking up front and on the Sunoco side, and truck parking north of the building and out back. How much truck parking? You can probably fit 20 or 30 trucks near the Diner, and more next door behind Sunoco and across the street at the Sheetz truck stop. If Arnold Schwarzenegger ever eats here, I 'd fully expect him to say, I 'll be back!"

"UPDATE: The owner seems to think this review is unfounded, but that’s not the case. I used to work there and consistently raised these concerns with him. I suspect Christine or Jimmy is responding to this review while on the job. While I’m sure there have been some positive reviews in the past due to the food being somewhat edible (though it’s all microwaved and unsanitary), that’s likely because it comes from Weis. I should have brought this up with the manager, but having worked there for several months and being close friends with many coworkers, I witnessed these issues firsthand. Not every review can be positive for a reason, and I hope this serves as a learning opportunity. Additionally, the employees are paid under the table and only make around $8 an hour. So, when you're paying $10 for a burnt Weis croissant sandwich, keep that in mind. They use the same cleaning cloths for the microwaves, countertops, and dining areas, and all of these are then tossed into a bleach bucket in the same sink where dishes are washed. The cloths are rarely replaced and are also used to dry clean dishes. Jim is so frugal that the kitchen and staff area become excessively hot in the summer, to the point where employees feel sick from heat stress. Yet he refuses to keep the back door open to let in cooler air because it allows the air conditioning to escape."
