The revamped Crossroads Dinor is offering a new take-out menu and delivery service since its reopening.

The placement of the dinor, 101 Plum Street at the intersection with Route 99, is an ideal location at the "crossroads" of the two busiest streets in Edinboro.

"Any small town corner is valuable," said Jim Sims, current owner of the Crossroads Dinor.

Since 1929, the diner has expanded significantly from the original trolley car.

The restaurant has since added on an extensive eating area, a larger kitchen and an overflow multi-purpose room.

The Dinor also used to have a souvenir shop that has since been replaced by a bar.

All the items once sold in the shop can now be seen adorning the walls and mantels. These items are still available for sale.

The Crossroads Dinor has the NFL Sunday ticket, where you can watch any of the NFL?games taking place around the league.

Games are not shown in the bar area. This means anyone of any age can pull up a chair on game night.

The bar in the Dinor is only open until 10 p.m.

There are occasionally student discounts and advertisements throughout the year with multiple bar specials including 25 cent wings on Thursdays and $1 domestic drafts.

Plans are in the works to extend regular business hours to provide Karaoke nights as well as acoustic music events in the hope this will attract more students to the diner.

The dinor also offers wireless Internet.

"It's a nice place for students to come after class, get a bite to eat, and utilize the wireless Internet," said Heather Chapin, an Edinboro student.

The Crossroad Dinor menu offers a variety of options. Breakfast, lunch and dinner specials abound daily; appetizers, salads, wings, drink specials, desserts, including homemade pies are also offered.

Sims, who enjoyed a career in sports and worked as a coach in the years prior to opening the dinor, drew a metaphor to his latest venture.

"As with everything, I approach the dinor with a background in athletics, it's not the number of games you win or lose, but the number of championships. Thats what I am trying to do, make the Dinor a champion," said Sims.

The take-out menu is the same menu available in the dinor.

Delivery service runs from 7 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. every day.
