1881 Catasauqua Road

Allentown, PA

I was cautiously optimistic one evening looking for food up in the Lehigh Valley and took a drive over to check this place out. When I walked in however I was greeted by friendly staff who sat me right down and served me right away. Being cautious of course I ordered a hamburger deluxe and when it came out was very good, the fries nice and crispy and I got all the sides I needed to top the burger. Overall it was a good experience.

We were out exploring Central Jersey one afternoon and decided on stopping here for lunch. When we walked in the server seemed a little crabby as if we had bothered her from something and sat us in a place far from where we asked to sit. The inside was dimly lit and I noticed several stains in the carpet and dirt on some of the walls. Ordering took slow (and it was after the lunch rush so there was not much of a crowd) and when it came the chicken fingers deluxe I ordered tasted a little off. It wasn't real chicken tenders but that processed stuff I absolutely HATE! In fact I recall having to cut out veins in it. The fries were very bland tasting and had no flavor. My tag team partner had gotten a cheeseburger deluxe and judging by the way he looked he didn't like it that much. Even the "dire emergency only" foods sucked so I wouldn't recommend this dive at all!

Date 2008

Another disappointment on RT46. (Like most diners on this Godforsaken highway) My tag team partner and I visited the Parkway Diner back in early 2008. It was a typical weekend day, come lunchtime we had to decide what we wanted to do for food. So the Parkway Diner it was. We both had Cheeseburger Deluxes and we were both dissappointed. The burgers had very little taste and the fries were overdone. The waitress then kept trying to push us to get desert earning this diner a blacklisted status not to mention a reduced tip.

Village Pizza opened in 2011 and one day in July of 2011 we decided to give it a try. Village Pizza was dissappointing to say the very least. The Pizza wasnt very good, not much in the way of taste at all and it was overdone. So were the garlic knots. They were as hard as rocks. My tag team partner ordered baked ziti. The sauce was more a white sauce than a marinara and there were onions on the ziti as well. I dont think these people know how to make Italian food. Needless to say this place is BLACKLISTED. The only thing I might do since its close to the tracks where we hang out is buy a slice and a soda if I REALLY have to use the bathroom!!

A little weathered around the edges. Not too crazy about the plastic glasses and they need to fix the roof and replace some ceiling tiles. Otherwise the place was clean. Bottom line is they have good food, good service and at a good price. Rated two forks up and a belch.

The Italian Connection, aka Bonga Pizza is a great place for Italian food. From Italian Combo heroes, to Baked, Lasagna, to Veal and everything in between, They knock it out of the ballpark EVERY time. Food portions are ALWAYS generous, heck their pizzas are so big, I cant eat more than two slices!! They are like the size of a full size wheel cover from the 1970's. Full size heroes are so big you have to wrap up half and take em' home. Thats why we call it Bonga pizza!! Good food, generous portions and at a great price. Italian Connection is rated two forks up and a belch!!

We were out on a fantrip to the Harrisburg Line and Middle Division. Well, noontime came around and we needed some food. We decided to give the Hearth Family Resturaunt a try, BIG MISTAKE. The food was not that great and to top it off, both the employees and patrons of this establishment treated us as if we came from outer space or something. It was like there was the good ol fashioned needle scratch and everything came to a halt when we walked in the door. They were just plain rude. The waitress was just unfriendly and the other patrons stared at us till we left. Bad service, lackluster food and bad clientele=BLACKLISTED!! Stay away from this place. I am surprised no one tried to kill us and nothing clawed its way out of our stomachs like the creature from spaceballs. There will be NO re-evaluation if this establishment!
