    I have been to this establishment four times now, and the first three were with various family members while I was home from college a few years back; that is to say that I was not picking up the tab and was coerced into going back twice by the way of getting a free meal. I am now happy to say that my fourth trip was my last, my financial independence has freed me from the icy grip of charity food and I will never again give my money to what has tragically become a black eye on Historic Downtown Brookville (R.I.P. The Meeting Place/Icehouse). My first meals were flavorless steak with fake grill marks and instant mashed potatoes, a gyro that was obviously from frozen meat, and some sort of traditional Greek dish that I honestly do not have any point of reference for but I just didn't like so I ate my sister's stromboli instead. Admittedly, I am a bit of a gyro connoisseur from my days of late night binge eating in Pittsburgh so it may be a harsh critique. The stromboli was actually pretty good, but does not compare to one from Angelo's Pizza two blocks down the street so there is no reason to get one unless it is Sunday and your hankering for a stromboli can't be stifled until Monday. I ate these meals in the restaurant part of the building that is accessible from Main Street in an atmosphere best described as "Faux Victorian Funeral Parlor." This brings me to my most recent trip where I ordered the knock-off Primanti's sandwich ("Pittsburgh style") which wasn't bad, but it doesn't take Donnie Iris to tell you a Primanti's sandwich comes on sliced Italian bread with a crusty bottle of Red Devil sauce on the side. I wish the oversight of a simple step toward authenticity was the focal transgression of this review, but, sadly, this poorly-executed rip-off of a legendary yinzer staple was actually the highlight of the trip. My friends and I were at the bar having a triple hops brewed beverage after we ate when out of nowhere a man began berating the bartender in broken English, really letting her have it, waving his hands in her face and cursing. Apparently this was the owner and he had seen the barkeep check her cellphone (strange only because the cheap bastid doesn't have a booster in his bar so you get no cell service) and was livid. Something along the lines of "YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE. YOU DON'T WANT WORK HERE. I TELL YOU BEFORE. YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE." She was apparently checking her coworker's phone for some reason, and in her defense I had not even seen her do it once. She was quite attentive and competent for being a native of Punxsutawney, but a sultry redhead like myself usually gets attention paid so maybe this is not her baseline and the service I received was above her standard. She was trying to diffuse the situation, apologizing and saying that she did want to work there, but the man was following her around like a belligerent Wario, waving his hands and making an ass of himself. I am aware that Wario is probably Italian like Mario, not Greek, however this is the best comparison I have off-hand. I digress. I was thinking I was victim of a hidden-camera show prank, but after about 5 minutes of intermittent screaming and awkward silences I realized that this was a very real, very severe Napoleon Complex blossoming right before my eyes. He started saying increasingly ludicrous things, like "NOW YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE ASSHOLE IN FRONT OF CUSTOMER. I HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ASSHOLE. YOU DON'T CHANGE I HAVE TO YELL." If I'm remembering my high school psychology class correctly this is a classic example of the projecting and rationalizing defense mechanisms. I understand that as the business owner he can/should be angry if an employee is wasting time on a cellphone during work, but to belittle and publicly humiliate a young girl like this was completely over-the-top. Finally, I said, "Hey man we were all having a good time before you came down here" or something like that, and I kid you not, the guy came over to me and started yelling directly in my face. "THIS IS MY BUSINESS. YOU DON'T RUN BUSINESS I RUN BUSINESS AND SHE USE CELL PHONE. YOU DON'T RUN BUSINESS." This was annoying firstly because when he was standing and I was sitting he was right at my eye-level about three inches from my face, but mostly because I was at no point confused as to whether or not I ran a business. I didn't respond at all, just sat in a bit of shock because I do not get confronted by hostile 60 year old Greek men all that often. The guy left without physically engaging me or the waitress, though it was to the point that my friend asked her if he had ever hit her or anything. I sincerely hope this man is not married or has daughters because if this is how he acts in front of customers at his bar I can only imagine what happens behind closed doors. Let this be a lesson not only on why to never spend your money on this jerk's prison-quality food but also on how untreated mental illness impacts society daily.

    Not too far off the highway and a great change of pace from the usual franchise chains that dot the Interstate rest area. We had a large group of about a dozen people and we were seated quickly with no fuss. Our request for separate checks was met with a smile even though we had couples scattered all over the table which made it that much tougher for our server. The food was great and the portions generous. An added bonus for the big city folks is that this is located in the middle of a friendly small town that seemed frozen in time. Made for some good exploring after a large lunch.,

    Driving across the country can be a big task but we are currently embarked on this adventure. We stopped today in this tiny little town known as Brookville. I thought it would be the worst place ever to get some food and enjoy the city, however I was pleasantly surprised. Brookville is the quaintest little town ever. We stopped at Courthouse thinking it would be a run of the mill, disappointing Americana type of establishment. I got their Saturday special of prime rib and I must say it was fantastic, easily the best prime rib I've ever had in my life (and I have MANY dishes to compare this to). My wife was less thrilled with her buffalo chicken salad, but said it was good for what it was. The menu is primarily Greek in composition, so expect a bunch of lamb dishes to populate the menu. The service was friendly and helpful, if a little young and inexperienced. My only complaint was that about half way through our meal, the owner I think sat down and started to loudly talk on her phone. The conversation didn't last long, so there was at least some solice. Overall, a good experience with good food.

    Conveniently located in the heart of downtown "Historic Brookville" the Courthouse Grill & Pub is one of the few restaurants along Main Street. Heck, it's one of the few restaurants in the whole town, but anyway... There is plenty of seating, although I've never seen it really busy and filled. They offer decent traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner options, none of which will get you worked up on either the great or horrible side of the fence. Same goes for the service. However, the prices are very reasonable, but then again, remember where you are.

    It was...ok. It was clean. The food was passable. It is directly across from the courthouse, so I am guessing they have a captive audience and are not really required to have great food and service as they will still get business. It shows. Our waitress was rude. Guessing she was annoyed she was working on Super Bowl Sunday...or annoyed that she had to help customers.

    If you're desperate for food during your drive through Pennsylvania (like we were) then you could do worse than this place. You could do better too. The food was ok; we had the burger special (when in doubt, just get the burger) and it was passable. Seems unlikely that I'll return, and I'm not too broken up about that.
