In late January 2010, the family trekked out to Pennsylvania to drop Bro off at his school for the Spring Semester. While I was studying abroad, my family boasted of finding a diner that served epic-sized portions. Comically, they recollected the story of the shock that the "appetizers" brought to them were too huge. So they took me to this Hellertown Diner out in a tiny town in Pennsylvania.
Even the hot chocolate that I ordered was good. It was so chocolaty. It was definitely none of that powdered crap.
Mum ordered a Ruben Sandwich with a side of onion rings. The rings were really fresh and crisp, while the onions on the inside were well-cooked, melting in your mouth. The Ruben Sandwich was probably good, but my mother mistakenly ordered this sandwich and did not like the cole slaw.
Bro got a cheese burger with melted swiss cheese. He said the burger was dry, but still alright. The fries were a big hit here. They were reminiscent of the fries from Lyric Diner.
Pops ordered a meatball hero with french fries. The meatballs were fresh and the marinara sauce perfectly seasoned. He had trouble finishing his meal, though, because of the overload on delicious carbs.
I got the Chicken Florentine Sandwich, which was a grilled chicken sandwich, topped with spinach and provolone cheese on a kaiser roll, with a side of those delicious french fries. This sandwich was so good. The roll was so soft and fresh, which was a surprise because we were eating at around 8:00 P.M. in the evening. The cheese was melted perfectly and spinach was a nice addition, complementing the moist chicken.
And boy, were those juices flowing! I normally don't order chicken sandwiches because they tend to be dry, but I was pleasantly surprised when I took a bite into such a succulent sandwich. Definitely would recommend this sandwich!
Overall, the food was excellent for a group of New Yorkers after a drive through New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The food was fresh and the service was very friendly. If you find yourself in this tiny town, then it really is worth it to stop for a bite at this diner!
