Country Cafe Hamlin, Pa.

We have been waiting for this restaurant to reopen for quite some time. It had been months since we have been down to our cottage in Mount Cobb, Pa so I can't tell you when exactly Country Cafe opened but when we went last week, it had a name and was open. 

We decided to go there for lunch. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had no idea what to expect. This location seems to be the kiss of death to restaurants and has several different incarnations since we bought the cottage 14 years ago. It is the closest place to eat so we do have a vested interest in it being open and serving good food. 

The interior is very much the same as it was in its last incarnation. The exterior has been updated. We were seated quickly, it was quiet since it was still pretty early for lunch. 

I ordered chili and gravy fries. Al had a hot roast beef sandwich with mushrooms on it. 

The chili was delicious and clearly homemade and best of all the French fries were real, not frozen. I think I have have been clear about how I feel about "fresh cut fries" which I suspect is a brand name and are obviously frozen!!

Al loved his sandwich and it so so generous that he ate half for lunch and brought home half for dinner. 

Prices were very reasonable and I have a feeling this is going to become one of our go-to restaurants in the area.
