We got a late start on a well needed day out last Friday at 11am. for Rose's Hilltop Diner in Saint Marys, Pa. Route 255. Watching Vampire Diaries until 3am., the night before, will do this to you every time, guilty pleasure. My choices were of the breakfast kind including steak and eggs, fresh cut homefries and a sweet potato pancake in place of toast. Dear husband chose a lunch platter of cheeseburger with bacon and fries, very good. Home cooking with comfort food, plus some surprises thrown in is a simple way to describe this little diner.
I would love to have dinner there some evening, just never drive through at that time.
Know matter how packed this small diner is, it seems you can always find a table or at least not wait very long for one. Rose's still has a diner style counter, as you can see below, small window tables for two diners, up front by the register are also available. Family style tables in the back dining area with one booth and 3 booths along the front by the counter are also available for seating.
As far as the menu goes it is a beautiful thing with your everyday foods prepared just the way you like and then great specialty items such as "Paige's Pimpkin' Mix" (1/2 order of Sausage gravy, 5 biscuits, 2 eggs, 2 links, 2 strips, homefries and toast) and the "Trash Plate" which is one of our favorites.
I love their sweet potato pancakes with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, steak medium rare, home-fries w/sauteed onions and peppers and then of course eggs sunny side up all served on platters reminiscent of Fiestaware.
A big plus for Rose's is being able to swap out the toast choice for a pancake!!!
That does get me all kinds of excited to tell you the truth. There are not many breakfast joints that will.. I totally do not quite comprehend this.. perhaps it is a control issue ; - )
Husband was pretty happy with his hamburger with french fries and pickle slices. The burger was sandwiched between a nicely toasted bun, american cheese, bacon, onion, tomato and ketchup. In the above shot you can see how the man loads it all up with black pepper until the tomato slice has pretty much disappeared.

Heading off to Altoona for the day, needing yoga pants and comfortable shirts is on the list along with a few shirts for the husband. Just good to get out for a bit, this weather has been record breaking with the cold temperatures and hard to get out for a good walk.
Rose's Hilltop Diner is a definite great comfort food destination in the PA Wilds section of Pennsylvania. If you are heading to see the Elk in Benezette give it a go!
