Even a leisurely drive down a winding rural road can yield huge rewards – like happening upon a rural restaurant in Pennsylvania that dishes up some of the best food in the state.

Look for the giant rooster perched atop the sign announcing you've arrived at Deer Creek Diner in Russellton, a charming country restaurant.
Don't expect bells and whistles in this no-frills diner that's all about one thing - serving good food in generous portions. You definitely won't leave hungry.
Deer Creek Diner currently serves breakfast and lunch daily, and you'll definitely want to bring a mighty appetite with you. (Or prepare to take home leftovers.)
If pancakes are your favorite way to start the day, wait until you see the massive ones at this quaint diner. Some diners describe them as being as big as the table.
Big pretty much describes whatever you order here. Consider ordering the Big Man's Breakfast, a massive meal that consists of three eggs, one meat (your choice which), home fries, toast, and three pancakes.
If you can polish off the entire meal, you'll win a free t-shirt and earn a spot on the diner's Hall of Fame.
It's all about choice at Deer Creek Diner. Take the omelets. You can choose from one of more than two dozen regular and gourmet omelets, including the Pittsburgh pierogi and the chili cheese omelet.
Deer Creek Diner also serves a generous assortment of gourmet pancakes and gourmet French toast. Remember everything here is big, and you'll get six pieces of French toast.
If you stop by for lunch, you'll have just as many delicious choices. How does a burger, topped with all of your favorites, sound?
