Many of my friends drive regularly to Western Pennsylvania, and one of the more common routes is to follow I-70 to Breezewood, PA where they are forced to run the gauntlet of dozens of sleazy, crappy, tourist trap food vendors to get on I-76/I-70 to continue West.
It happens to also be about 1/2 way between the DC area and Western, PA destinations… so… it frequently becomes a good bathroom stop and commonly the error is made of actually buying food there… which then causes another bathroom stop an hour further down the road where you pay for the bad decision of actually eating in Breezewood, PA.
Well folks, there is a happy alternative! A tasty diner (breakfast and lunch and afternoon snacks only); about 5 miles South-East of Breezewood right on I-70. The Cornerstone Diner is open 7am-3pm on Sunday, 7-6pm most weekdays, and 7-7 on Friday and Saturday.
Exit 151 along I-70 is marked Crystal Spring and is the intersection with PA-915.
Westbound Directions:
If you are Westbound, exit at 151/Crystal Spring/PA-915 – go straight across 915 at the stop sign, make your first Right after crossing a little bridge onto Township Road 500 which becomes Campmeeting Road. The Cornerstone Diner sits back from the road on the left, mostly hidden behind some light industrial vehicle place… very hard to see.
Eastbound Directions:
If you are Eastbound, exit at 151/Crystal Spring/PA-915 and turn Right onto PA-915 heading North. Make your first Right after going under I-70, then make your first Right after crossing a little bridge onto Township Road 500 which becomes Campmeeting Road. The Cornerstone Diner sits back from the road on the left, mostly hidden behind some light industrial vehicle place… very hard to see.
