The keeper of the coals
Run by John Paul Jackson
Deanos 5 Town Grill started as a single cart on Route 88 and grew into the corner pit the whole valley drives toward at dusk. John runs the grill himself every service — same buns, same salt, same slow shake pour.
No franchises, no shortcuts. Just a small-town Pennsylvania kitchen that treats every patty like it's going home with you.
