Continental Restaurant

Had a great first night in town at this family run restaurant. Right there makes it 5 stars. W only had soups, but they were yummy. Great server...wish I could remember her name. Smiled the whole time. Manager was very nice. Would go. Again

I wanted some nice hot soup without having to travel too far for it, Yelp led me to Continental Restaurant and I was not disappointed. Hubs and I came here for lunch. At a quick scan of the menu, there is something for everyone no matter what you're craving. I ordered the split pea soup (it's one of my favorites) and hubs ordered the Spinach Bowl Salad. My soup arrive hot and topped with fresh, garlicky croutons. It was the perfect combination for a chilly day. Our order came with a small plate of fresh bread and butter. The soup was perfect consistency for split pea, not so thick that you feel like you're eating chili and not so thin that isn't filling. It was not salty either! A win in my book! Hubs salad was plentiful with spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, fresh mushrooms, crispy bacon bits, and eggs. He topped it with a creamy garlic dressing making it taste very fancy! Everything on the salad was very fresh. I know it's just soup and salad, but I'll be back to try other dishes! I also learned to check their Facebook page for updates on their daily specials as well as their daily soups. Service was quick. Our server was friendly and kept our glasses filled. The dining crowd was an older crowd, but everyone seemed to be regulars there. The inside was clean and comfortable. I'll be back!

Service is ok. Ambiance typical, much better than IHOP. Food is a disaster. I ordered the stir fry chicken and it seems they just poured teriyaki sauce on it. It would've been ok if the teriyaki sauce tasted good but not like the usual teriyaki you expect. The rice was swimming in the salty sauce. My wife ordered chopped steak and when it arrived, it was like a burger steak -- ground beef made into a patty. It was a medium rare steak with onions on top and the "steak" tasted bland. Even the bread they served in the beginning tasted awful. How can you go wrong with bread? I don't have gourmet taste but wasn't expecting it to be this bad. The only good thing about it is my son liked the pancakes and eggs. Sigh! What a waste!

If you get a seat at the spongebob table, consider yourself Continental Royalty. In all seriousness though, Continental has been my family's favorite place for Matzo Ball Soup ever since I was young. It's a quiet family restaurant with the typical deli fare: Sandwiches, huge burgers, hot turkey clubs and of course it all comes with bread service. This won't be the best meal you ever had, but for good conversation and a comfy cozy atmosphere, this is the place to beat.

One of my favorite restaurants around. It's the type of place that has a 10 page menu and everything is good! BLTs are amazing and they have the best chicken matzoh ball soup around!

Always the best food! Pete is awesome and always takes a minute to say hi and check to see if everything is okay.

I've been eating at this restaurant for over 20 years. It's a family restaurant, where the owner knows all his regular customers by name and the new ones he treats like he's known them for years as well. This restaurant has managed to stay in business while many of the others around it have closed. The food is well above your average family restaurant and the prices reflect that. This isn't fine dining as some like to compare it too. The staff works hard and many have worked there for 10-20 years. Customers come in and ask for specific servers due to the service and relationships built over the years. There are LOTS of customers who eat here daily or multiple times weekly!! The restaurant is always clean and has a beautiful banquet hall attached that has events going on almost daily. Many groups and organizations come in monthly and rent out the room. The soups, salads (create your own), pancakes, skirt steak, Athenian Chicken, wings and Chicken Mykonos (Wednesday night only) are some of my favorites.

We used to live over here and this place was a favorite so we stopped by when we were in the neighborhood. The lady who seated us as been there since I can remember. My favorite thing on the menu (Pete's Nest) was not on the menu anymore but they said they make it on request so I ordered that and my hubby ordered hash and eggs. It took a while to get our food which we understood because there was only one server who was spread a bit thin. Unfortunately two bites in, I realized my food was barely warm. Tried to flag the waitress but was able to get the hostess' attention and she brought the plates back to the kitchen for us. To their credit, the next plate was completely remade (not just reheated) and served piping hot. My food was plentiful and delicious and my husband was unable to finish his either. Overall it was okay but I was definitely disappointed in the service. It was hard to get the server's attention even when she was near our table and we definitely didn't get the coffee refills we were hoping for.I'd give them another try because we have had many excellent meals here.

The food was okay, the service a little better. Some of the starters, had (too much) oil in them. The staff while nice, were from Europe, having a job, and still getting adjusted, and learning the menu. The ambiance was lacking, and stale. antiquated. With paintings and family photo's from the 1970's/80's, as well as the tables and booths. Most of the booths vinal had cracks and the seats had low spots when you sat in them. There seem to be some locals, that are regulars. They would do better, updating the place. Also, improving the food, or how it's made.

Didn't know what we wanted so went to the Continental as they have a GIANT 10 page menu. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Started with a basket of 6-8 fresh rolls & bagels. Sandwiches included fries & soup. 3 egg omelets, broasted chicken & so much more. Easy to find for us tourists & plenty of seating & parking. Food was pretty good for the variety they have to prepare.
