Looking for an affordable meal amist the yuppie eateries on Franklin Street? The authentic Mediterranean Deli is the place for you! With an immaculate selection of both vegetarian and meat dishes plus a free topping and olive bar, this deli shines.

I tried the beef shawerma plate – tender marinated beef sitting on a bed a tabouli over plenty of fresh zingy hummus that was a perfect blend of flavors. It came with a freshly baked pita bread recently out of the oven. Hubs tried a falafel salad. It was equally fresh with a variety of veggies and a light dressing. The falafel had an interesting crisp of sesame on the outside, though they were slightly dry inside. I enjoyed my meal with a sweet rosewater tea, which tastes just like it sounds.

One time I’d love to come back again when the bakery is going and order one of the crisp breads stuffed with feta and a combination of veggies and meats called a fatayer. The one I saw come out looked like a giant delicious mediterranean calzone. But also any combination of items from the deli case… how did I not try some baklava or one of the other luscious desserts?

In the place of Bear Rock Cafe there is a new cafe tucked behind the Arby’s called 7C’s. Despite the really undescriptive name, 7C’s has a great selection of sandwiches and salads in the comfy atmosphere you’d expect from a place that used to be a Bear Rock. I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with my choice of a potato salad side and Glen had a cobb salad. His salad was very fresh with tender chicken, egg and bacon and he enjoyed it. My sandwich was tasty and the potato salad was like a loaded potato salad, with some hard boiled egg, cheese and bacon in it. We liked our food and also the free watermelon they surprised us with at the end of the meal.

Stop by here if you’re in the area car hunting or shopping, I think you’ll like the food and the personal touch. They have burgers and hot and cold sandwiches, plus salads and soups. They make their own bread daily.

Country Deli is one of many home style diners in PA – local residents are lucky to have so many breakfast choices. You’ll be lucky if you can find it, tucked back off 352 away from the road a little. Tiny inside, and slightly cramped, the dining room has wooden tables and chairs, a view of a nice mural along the back wall, and a collection of vintage cookie jars on shelves all around. The breakfast menu is balanced, and while some items are weekend-only options like cream chipped beef, pancake specials and eggs benedict, the menu is affordable so if you want to create your own “combo” you can.
I had some french toast with a side of sausage, but also snacked on my Mom’s scrapple because I was too nervous to order it for myself. It was tasty, like a mushy version of corned beef. My french toast was tasty and the service here was quick and efficient. You also won’t go wrong if you try one of the baked goods sitting in the case by the register. We tried a coffee cake laced with some lemon filling. Give this place a try for a filling and tasty meal at a great price.

Next door is the seed and feed store inside an old barn, where you can find deals on bird seed and pet food of all kinds.
