I've always loved the Wellsboro Diner. The food is good and served in generous portions. It appears I'm not the only one who appreciates Wellsboro's porcelain jewel. The Wellsboro Diner was recently named one of top ten classic diners.
The diner has been a fixture of Wellsboro since 1939. It's Pennsylvania's only surviving example of a New England barrel roof diner and manufactured by Sterling in 1938, according to Diners of Pennsylvania.
Established in 1939 by Louis Meier and his brother-in-law, Walter Schanaker. The sixty-eight diner was first called Schanaker's. Walter left for New York to open a new diner, and Louis put Wellsboro's diner up for sale.
The diner remained unchanged until 1994 when an adjacent building was converted into a dining room and gift shop. It's now owned by Nelle Rounsaville, who keeps the diner in original peak condition. Check it out, but leave room for desert.
