Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Pennsylvania Dutch Country right now.
Like the German cuisine that influenced it, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking is hearty and uses ingredients from local farms. Though their numbers are dwindling, there are still a few traditional Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants where you can dine family style. Lancaster County has numerous reasonably priced family restaurants, along with a number of eateries offering more exotic fare. The cuisine is changing and expanding to include many flavors beyond traditional Amish. Unless otherwise noted, liquor is served.
This family-owned brewpub is located minutes from the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center. Beers range from Double Citra Pillows (a hazy IPA) to Hiding in Plain Sight (a hoppy lager) and the menu includes appetizers, salads, and sandwiches.
Locally known as Dipco, this welcoming pub next to Central Market is a fun haunt for a nosh and a pint, especially when there's live music on the weekends. Sandwiches, house-made chili, burritos, as well as nightly specials, are among the many menu options. The building, as is the case with so many in downtown Lancaster, is more than 100 years old.
This homey café is a popular spot for locals to start their day with a cup of joe from locally roasted beans. The menu offers egg sandwiches and wraps for breakfast and a changing lineup of soups, sandwiches, and salads that are served all day.
