We eat at Macs a few times/month and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed. The favorite in our house, the spicy raspberry boneless wings. They recently added (a few months ago) a new roast beef sub - DELISH.
Grab a buffalo chicken dip out of the cooler to go. It's great reheated for a quick snack for the fam.

We stopped here because we saw a notation in a PA travel guide for a candy museum. It took just a few minutes to look around the museum--if you're into candy you'd appreciate it more, as there's various molds for the holidays, etc--and another bonus was seeing Jimmy Carter's signature on the wall of visitors. There's also a movie detailing the candy making process. The real attraction, however, is the candy store in the front and the ice cream parlour in the back. The ice cream (Hershey's), though expensive, was plentiful and it's a nice way to just "chill" after a day of traveling. What's really refreshing is that this is a mom & pop store, instead of a big, colorless national chain. We parked in the front, at meters, but there's also a regular city parking lot in the back, nearest the ice cream.

It was a busy Friday night but we had no problem getting a table at 6:00 pm. My wife ordered a personal 10” pizza with sausage, green peppers and mushrooms. The toppings dominated the pie! The sausage was large chunks of meat. The crust was nicely done. She said it was among the best pizza she has ever eaten. It was so large for a small pizza that she brought half of it home. I sampled it and agree that it was a very good pie. I had deep fried oysters with Mac and cheese and stewed tomatoes, also very good. The next time I want to try their meat lovers pizza. It should be good.

This little joint has the best pizza around! The Stromboli was my favorite and worth the 30 min drive!

After a few hours driving, we needed a lunch spot. Found this location using Google and so glad we stopped. We love locals places with the local people and this spot fit the bill. Sunday around noon time, lots of friendly folks in there happy to see you and easy to talk to. Three of us had the big burgers and they were HUGE! 2 patties on buns with all the fixings! Messy but oh so good! It's a small place with a really warm and friendly feel. Cash only so make sure you are prepared. If you are in the area, make it a point to stop in and support a local cafe. And meet some very nice people! Great food with very reasonable prices!

This little Italian restaurant is located in the heart of Tyrone, PA. We happened to stop in while traveling. I ordered an Italian wedge and my wife had a meatball sandwich. Both were large enough for us to save half of each for another day. The prices were reasonable, the food tasty and the service was great.

We have been coming here for years. The menu is extensive. You can get everything from Pizza (of course) to a variety of pastas dishes. But my absolute favorite is their chicken salad. Their servings are plentiful. Dinner items come with their own hot baked bread.

They had they typical subs that we are accustomed too. It seemed like a popular choice with the kids and younger folks. I seen families enjoying some of the cookout while the kids had a little taste of home. They advertised the deal of the day which made me comment to those with me. It's very accessible and I would imagine this would make it cheaper to eat on the beach than some of the other options.
