At the beginning of summer we had stopped for dinner in Kane, Pennsylvania at
Syzmanski's Restaurant & Tavern, on
Route 6 in the
Allegheny National Forest, where a fish fry for me and a burger for the husband was ordered. When our food was brought to us, it did take a bit, for a very large group of ladies from a local organization were having their annual meeting, but, it was worth the wait.
The haddock fish fry had a very light but, good crunch to the coating, coleslaw was surprisingly dilly and the baked potato was, well... a baked potato. My husband's burger was equally good with a fresh burger patty prepared to medium, french fries and house salad, the salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, a few leaves of spinach tossed in, carrot, tomato and red onion added to the mix.

| last night's meal with the focus on the entree and not the sides |
Not a fancy table setting or dining environment but, good food with the focus on the entree. Sides are very important to any dining experience but, for some reason not offered enough in local restaurants. Remembering the days of the typical canned sides with either peas, corn, french style beans or vegetable medley, served lukewarm on the plate, not missed but, still curious of the where.
Last night before shopping for Thanksgiving at Tops, we stopped at Syzmanski's this time our dd was with us. Our table ordered an 8 oz. sirloin, haddock fish fry and BLT all prepared perfectly, no lemon for my fish or tea which was a bummer but, truly good. The fish fry was as good as I remembered, dd is a BLT junkie saying it was the best she has had in a while and dh's steak was done perfectly with the right amount of char and not much waste. A seasonal draft selection for dh of Samuel Adams'
Winter Lager, Robust and spicy with oranges, ginger, and freshly ground cinnamon, description from the website and it was as described, good stuff. Peanut butter cream pies all the way around the table were enjoyed fully with a nice flavorful, not too sweet filling and a beautiful flaky crust. Pies and soups are made fresh daily!

You enter through the bar normally with also paying here at the end of your meal. You will find this establishment clean and quaint, located on Route 6, in the PA Wilds at the edge of the Allegheny National Forest.
Kane, Pa. still has a main street with home-style restaurants, clothing stores, specialty shops and a good choice of retail. Before we started home I spotted a new candy shoppe located on Field Street, which is the same street as
Texas Hot Lunch ,
The Sweet Shoppe, that I can't wait to stop in at a later date.
Hope you stop!
