breakfast/diner stop off the PA Turnpike between Philly and Hershey

For the late nighters still awake - I'm heading from the Philly "burbs" to Hershey tomorrow morning (Sunday) and would appreciate recommendations for a good breakfast stop off the turnpike, preferably closer to Hershey than to Philly.

    Zinn's off the second Reading exit, down to the dead end and right for less than a mile or so is decent and authentic.

      Hope this isn,t too late, but Zinns has been closed for years. The current tenant at that location is the Park Place Diner, which is okay but not great.

        thanks, I'm leaving in about 45 minutes. still open for suggestions. we may end up at "Events, etc." which is the Hershey Pantry Sunday brunch place. I prefer something more "dineresq," but may not have a choice if nothing pops up shortly.

            Too late now, but for anyone else that might read this thread:

            I've always really enjoyed their two eggs, hashbrowns, and toast breakfast special for $2.99. I don't remember if I like the pancakes or not, but their biscuits and gravy were fantastic the one time I've had them there.

              looks good - I'll try Kountry kitchen the next trip.
              We did the Park Place Diner this morning and it was fine for basic breakfast fare - eggs, potatoes and toast, etc. my thanks to Delucacheesemonger and brookquarry for their initial response.

            For future reference: The Park Place Diner is clean and serves good food. Good friendly service. Sadly, we don't eat there anymore because the portions are too BIG!! Well worth a stop.
