Pennsylvania Dutch Country Restaurants

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.

  • 2. Smokehouse BBQ and Brews at Plain & Fancy Farm

    $$$

    The newest dining option at the expansive Plain & Fancy Farm complex is catering to individual families and groups under 20. The menu is a variation on the traditional Amish theme, featuring various smoked meats, but still with many of the country sides like chowchow and pepper cabbage; the "Smokehouse Sampler," a fixed-price feast, is the heartiest offering. Beer and à la carte dining is also available. Also on the grounds are shops selling everything from quilts to baked goods, and attractions like the Amish Experience. For smaller groups interested in an all-you-can eat experience, Plain & Fancy's sister restaurant, Miller's Smorgasbord, is 3 miles away.
