About 250 of Franklin county's restaurants are awful. Either shitty chains, misguided attempts at pizza, or diners serving frozen garbage with a side of poor food safety. Then there's Falafel Shack, shining jewel of the Cumberland Valley and pride of Chambersburg.

Was surprised you all have more than Adams County considering all the tourism we have. Although I have always had a soft spot for Waynesburger

I think because there's no highway that goes there. Everyone has to get off the highway in a town 30 minutes out and it just seems natural to eat then. You're either getting off 81 in Chambersburg, 83 in York, or 70 in Hagerstown if you're not local.

Good point, we have Rt 15, but still no interstate or anything. I wonder how many of those restaurants in Bedford County are just Breezewood

Waynesburger is pretty good and if you have a taste for sushi the place down the road, Sapporo, is good.

I can't find a single good place in Franklin tbh, my body can't handle fast food which is all we have, minus the "family" restaurants that are always ready to give you food poisoning.

Dude.

Don Chekos.

It's like. Sketch. But delicious. The nachos are banging and a great value.

As for the family restaurants, I won't disagree. I liked Chambersburg family diner before it was sold.

Fuck the orchards though.

Other than that. Inca kitchen is good. Bori delicious and denim are both good coffee shops. I'm not huge on Brussels vibe so I haven't been in much. The stube at liquid arts or whatever they're calling it now has decent food and okay beer.

The food here isn't all awful.

That's why I left 12 slots for non-Falafel Shack establishments

Haha fair enough.

But I'm honestly not disappointed with the food options around here.

I even appreciate Norland pub for the wings
