A fun place for the kidsbig kids too. Certainly a lot of entertainment for them while adults visit with each other and enjoy watching kids have fun.
Not to mention that this is the best fast food restaurant and everything is homemade great ice cream if you're on your way to Penn State you must stop there train enthusiasts will love this place there's a dining car to Anna Pullman that serves a fancy dinner
Best hamburger around. The food.is awesome and priced that a family can go out and enjoy without going broke. Love Dr. Dolittle's.😛😛😛
A local doctor, Jeffrey Rice, has a hobby of collecting FULL SCALE train cars and refurbishing them into mini restaurants, a railroad museum, a place for an overnight stay and more. He calls his growing collection "The Depot at Doolittle's" - an 1880's B&O replica rail depot.
My mom and I enjoyed our unique dining experience in the 50's style Diner Car (a renovated 1950's Pullman Standard passenger car). I had the Soft Shell Crab Po' Boy sandwich and she had the Lobster Bisque. Both were quite tasty.
Morgan, our waitress, shared some history about the car and graciously snapped a few photos of mom and I sitting in our seats.
For a more upscale meal, you might want to eat in the vintage, 1913 Parlor Car. Although we didn't eat in that car, we took a quick walk-through and marveled at the beautiful restoration of this antique marvel.
Two cars that caught my attention were the newly acquired Barnum and Bailey Circus cars sitting up on the hillside. When the circus closed down in early 2017, Dr. Rice jumped at the opportunity to add these cars to his collection. It will be interesting to see what he has in store for them.
Also on the grounds is Doolittle's Roadside Cafe. Judging by the number of people getting ice cream at the walk-up windows, I'd guess it must be pretty good. Unfortunately, I was too full from my meal that I didn't try the ice cream. I guess I'll save that for my next visit to Du Bois!
Absolutely love this place all your favorite ice cream and comfort food, great family atmosphere. Come from Philadelphia PA to visit and it's the first place we hit. Can't wait to see the pizza place and whatever else the doc does to the place.
This is a great place to stop! Where else can you see real train cars, pet/feed goats, eat lunch, have AMAZING ice cream (for very little cost ), and play putt-putt golf? We are planning to go back and eat in the depot style restaurant too. I highly recommend it😊
Oh my, what a treasure! Great menu choices, not especially speedy, but, a great value and good food. Has some flavors of hard ice cream from Penn State Creamery, on a very diverse list of choices. Two, two-scoups of ice cream priced at
Food was good was dissappointed that when I ordered a steak salad that they just assumed I would want mild peppers on it. Something like that should be asked if you want them in. Won't get another salad unless I specify next time but will try their wings or burger next time. Nice friendly customers and an over all nice place to stop when you are out riding the Harley. We got to meet an awesome little guy that loved bikes and he even got to sit on it and have his picture taken by his aunt !!!
Delicious ice cream, fun environment ! My granddaughter wanted to know where Thomas the train's face was. Lol
Great food even better ice cream prices are very good all in all a great place to eat
Laser tag was great, rented it for 2 hours for a boys birthday party and they loved it!
Glow in the dark mini golf needs cleaned up and repaired.
Didn't get a chance to try the food, but I want to eat in the dining car.
I can't say enough good about this place. It is quite affordable, tasty and just about overall neat place to visit. I always make it a point to stop when I am in town.
Friendly staff, great food, great prices.
