Best Hidden Gem Restaurants in the U.S.

It's broken down into categories and two Pennsylvania restaurants made the Best of the Best Hidden Gems in America list. 

Ohhh, I love a good hidden gem restaurant. I feel like I'm in an exclusive club that not a lot of people know about. Well, until now. Haha.

The first Pennsylvania restaurant that's on the list is Lawrence Park Dinor in Erie.

The list states, "Lawrence Park Dinor is a charming diner that serves delicious American food. The vintage decor adds to the nostalgic feel of the restaurant, which is housed in a 1948 silk city diner that is on the national historic registry. The breakfast features mouth-watering dishes such as pancakes, omelets, and French toast. With a variety of options to choose from, Lawrence Park Dinor is a great spot for anyone looking for a great diner experience."

The second Pennsylvania restaurant that made the list is A Little Pizza Heaven in Scranton.

The list says, "A Little Pizza Heaven offers a diverse Italian menu including pizza and pasta, as well as seafood, salads, and appetizers. Popular dishes include the margherita pizza, lasagna, jambalaya, and antipasti. Gluten-free options are available. The friendly waitstaff and authentic Italian food make A Little Pizza Heaven a great choice for a delicious meal with generous portions."

If you're ever in the area of either of these places, make sure to stop by and eat.
