Default Best Restaurant in Spanish Springs?

We are going to The Sharon this evening and are looking for recommendations for dinner. What's your favorite place?

World of Beers has creeped to the top of our list since opening in Spanish Springs.

You have a craving for fried chicken? McCall's

TooJay's is pretty consistent comfort food. Besides that I do not know.

One note on McCall's, check the football schedule. We went over yesterday as my wife had a craving for fried chicken. I said lets go at 4 to beat the crowd

I opened the door expecting a fairly dead restaurant and to have my choice of seats at the bar and watch golf while eating. There was not a seat in the house!!! Penn State was playing and these folks are into Penn State. Looked like they were having a blast. We did not wish to sit outside, so we had a drink, my wife got fried chicken to go, service was great even with the crowd.

I learned they also get a huge Buffalo Bills crowd, so check the schedule before going to McCall's

It really all depends on what you want to eat. All of the restaurants specialize in different types of food and do one or two things better than all of the others.

Quality wise, I think that they're all about the same.

The first four responses have recommended what I believe are about the worst of a lot of bad choices in SS. I'd try Athens, not fancy but affordable and basically good!

Simply saying Athens probably would have worked just fine.

To the OP. If the folks want fried chicken, I stick to my McCall's recommendation. For the folks not having fried chicken it is a decent pub menu (IMO), but the fried chicken is what they are known for.

They also have good shepherd's pie.

The first 4 suggestions I thought were very solid. We love Sakura, cant go wrong with Too Jays and McCalls indeed has awesome Chicken. Also agree with Flippers for Pizza! To each his own!
