The inn can be described as casual dining and a pub, which has two floors with dining rooms on each. The upper level dining room is separate from the bar area and is spacious for families with children or to book for meetings, bridal showers and other dinner parties.

“The lower dining room sits 24, has its own entrance with handicap accessibility,” Gloria added.

“We get to know a lot of (customers) on a personal basis,” she continued. “The relationship with them is very important. We wouldn’t be able to survive without them.”

Both Sam and Gloria even said that they have regulars that come in every single week for many years.

The menu at the inn has a large variety for everyone including their homemade Italian dishes which are from Sam’s mother’s family recipes, their black diamond steak salads, sandwiches, alongside their famous hand-pattied burger menu and fresh breaded haddock, which Gloria said customers have deemed “the best in the county”.

They also serve a variety of craft beer in their bar and as “many Pennsylvania beers as they can”.

The business however, was hit very hard by COVID, having to switch to mainly take-out meals, laying off staff members and having to cut back on hours of operation. One of their other businesses also burnt in a fire during this time.

“It was like we were starting over,” Sam said.

“We weren’t a huge take-out place before,” Gloria said. “We are working towards getting back to regular business.”

“At the height, our sales were down 60 percent,” Gloria said. “We had an extremely tough 2020.”

That means that the business was down $150,000 to $200,000 during this time.

The two, alongside their daughter and their daughter’s friend, worked on the business through all of the hardship to stay open.

“We made sure that we are following all of the Governor’s rules,” Sam said.

During their indoor shutdown, they also received grants and payroll protection, to keep the lights on and stay open for business. They did take advantage of this time to renovate the floors in the bar area.

They are also reinventing their burger menu, which will be having a few new burgers to try. There will be a total of 12 burgers on this menu.

“There are some glimpses of hope,” Sam said.

The two have a lot of experience, Sam, in culinary skills, and Gloria in managing and supervision.

“We pride ourselves on having good food, good pricing and good staff,” Gloria said.

They are also looking to hire staff now that things are opening up.
