The Finest People in the business! Celebrated 30th wedding anniversary last Thursday The food can compare the finest restaurants in the world without exaggeration. Welcoming, quaint, and delivered by the best waitress ever, with a little help from the chef owner Steve Stetzler

If you are looking for a family style restaurant with good homestyle dutch cooking, look no further. The food is authentic and delicious! The service is extremely efficient, friendly and fast! The atmosphere is PA dutch setting… inside rooms with wooden floors and PA dutch decor! You have to come here and experience this for yourself!

What can I say that hasn’t been said. Steve and his staff are a gem. The food is scratch made and always great, at very reasonable prices. Save room for the delicious rotating desserts (rhubarb crumble, my favorite). The restaurant is a museum of PA Dutch culture as the former home of Johnny Ott, the great popularizer of PA Dutch barn star design. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

I looked at the reviews and was pretty excited as I planned to meet up with family from out of state as they passed through PA where I live. I wish I’d looked a bit further into this, though, as the menu was NOT PA Dutch. They have Italian, American, Caribbean, and a plethora of fried food offerings off the Sysco or US Foods menus. While the food was tasty, it wasn’t what I’d hoped for based on the name and location.

If you are looking for an authentic Pennsylvania Dutch meal, then this is the place. Familiar favorites include potato stuffing, bacon dressing and shoo fly pie. Decor resembles an Amish dining room. Service is prompt and courteous. Reservations are not required unless you go on a holiday, then yes make a reservation. Parking is limited and crowded. One of my seasonal favorites is their homemade mint ice tea.

While we didn’t get to eat here, 2 women working at the restaurant showed us great kindness when we had an accident next to it. They brought us bottled water; refused to let me clean up the glass on their sidewalk; offered support & encouragement; & lent me tools to brush glass from my car. Thank you for your great kindnesses.

A must try if you want to try authentic pen-dutch cuisine. We had the pig stomach and the scrapple and both were memorable. The pig stomach was super good, familiar and warming. The scrapple was odd and must be something you grew up with to like, but try it anyways. The place was packed but the staff was complaining it was slow. When we first entered we were asked if we had reservations. At first this blew us away considering the “town” it was in probably had less people than an average high school, but once we ate the food, we totally got why reservations were expected.
