Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Server had 9 tables at once. My mom recommended it because I never been there. Me, my mom and 4 kids and the bill was only $70. I tipped her $50 because as busy as it was and only her, she had a great attitude and very kind.

$75 to try pretty a lot on the menu and enough to feed 4 adults plus three kids easily. Done in under a half hour at supper time. Prompt service, great food. Family owned.

This past weekend we were in Altoona and wanted to grab some dinner before heading back home. We came upon Lena's Cafe. The place definitely had a local hometown favorite vibe. Hubby and I were disappointed that no drink menu was offered, but I was able to get a glass of wine. We both took advantage of the bread that was brought to the table, not warm or anything special but definitely fresh and we were both pretty hungry! We ordered appetizers, I had the fried mozzarella, my Husband had the fried eggplant, both were delicious and served piping hot, but what we really loved was the marinara served with! It was a fresh tasting very tomato forward sauce, yum! I had the crab cake salad for entree and it was tasty, my husband enjoyed his cheesesteak hoagie. Nothing fancy about the place, but the food was good and the place was packed as we were leaving.
