This is the ultimate in comfort food.
The Bacon Cheeseburger is perfect. I love that the bacon is crispy enough but not overdone, so the softness matches the burger. I asked for cheddar cheese and I can taste the sharpness. Topped by the right amount of condiment. This has to be everyone's favorite burger joint if they make all burgers like they made mine. The fries are a great compliment for an all-American meal.
I chose to add a side of Mac N Cheese today & it's so tasty! I'm glad I added it.

Despite being back home for over 20 years, I think this is the first time I've ordered from Route 40 Diner, but it won't be the last.
I was hungry for pot roast and mashed potatoes. Believe it or not, not everyone gets pot roast right, but theirs was very good - had just a nice amount of fat. I ordered my gravy on the side because I like to butter my mashed potatoes first, and they gave me a generous cup of it.
But while I was scrolling thru the menu, the Thursday Special of Cabbage Rolls (Halupki) caught my attention. I figured I could have that for lunch Friday, and I did. I used some of that gravy on my mashed potatoes with that meal. The Halupki was just like Mommy used to make - only I spent no time wrapping & tucking little meat & rice balls in boiled cabbage to earn this meal.
It's nice to get a home-cooked meal delivered when I'm not feeling well. The food was good & filling, and tasted like I could have made it myself. I appreciate the focus on local cuisine.

40 Classic Deep Dish dinner is delicious.Took me back to my grandma's kitchen. Good home cooked food. Don't hesitate to order from this place. We have been completely satisfied with their food. Didn't get a pic, it looked and smelled so good I forgot about the pic and gobbled it up.

Ever since I found the Rte. 40 Diner's Roast Beef Dinner , the issue isn't whether or not I like it, it's how often do I get it without seeming like a lunatic? Seriously, if I was 20 years younger, I'd just get a job at the place so I could eat a Roast Beef Dinner there several days a week, it's that good. If I could have a Roast Beef Dinner subscription where they just send me one every day, that'd make me happy.
