Foot of the Mountain Restaurant

Small older diner right along Route 16 west of Mercersburg. Good food. Large portions. Friendly waitress. Has tables and booths. Customer restrooms. Parking lot.

well! what a pleasant, home town, home made comfortable easy place! sit by the windows so you can look at the birds and squirls: nature TV. out food was really good. honey dipped chicken, ruben (could have more stuff in it), delicious onion rings, and....corn fritters (with....corn)! the people behind us got cheese cake (yum!).

Driving back from Pittsburgh, we decided to find a place with some mountain charm and Foot of the Mountain fit the bill and more. Great salads, Roast Beef and gravy, turkey gravy, fries and more. Home made corn fritters were awesome. I had the wings and if you follow me at all you know I try wings EVERYWHERE I go.

Nice family owned restaurant outside downtown Mercersburg. Recommend sitting by window near the bird houses, nice way to enjoy your meal and view of birds. I had the haddock broiled in butter, fish and sides dishes it came with were served hot and filling. My family and I shared a slice of their strawberry cheesecake which was very good too. Price is reasonable for the amount of food you get. I guess Jimmy Carter stopped by at this restaurant during his presidency so this is a historic restaurant as well.

This place checks all the boxes, right off the road, easy access parking. The staff here is super nice & friendly, it's literally at the base of the mountain, I'd imagine it's absolutely gorgeous here during the spring, it's so pretty in the winter time. I came for the breakfast and it was awesome, if you like scrapple I highly recommend it. Everything is reasonably priced here and the quality of the food is awesome
