Fodor's Expert Review White Lion Cafe

Although the antiques shop within White Lion Cafe's cottage is now history, this comfort-food haven, with outdoor seating, remains embellished with reminders of the past. From a 1950s-era wooden wall phone to a metal icebox and a Coca-Cola machine, you'll also find a mounted jackalope watching over a wide list of specials (Homestead crab cakes, burgers, fried chicken, and meat loaf). They do a fish of the day and specialties like Romanian tenderloin (skirt steak cooked to order). Vegetarians go for grilled veggies over angel-hair pasta. Best of all, fare includes potatoes that are mashed, salt-crusted, and baked and then stuffed with sour cream and cheddar. Layer cakes, pies, and cobblers offer a sweet finish. Dine inside or at picnic tables under a covered patio, but don't count on separate checks.
