PA Dutch Restaurants in Lancaster County

PA Dutch Dining

Pennsylvania Dutch cooking is a food tradition you genuinely can’t get anywhere else, hearty, farm fresh dishes rooted in Amish and Mennonite heritage passed down through generations of Lancaster County cooks.

Expect real comfort food done right: chicken pot pie made with wide egg noodles instead of a crust, chow chow relish, shoofly pie, and buttered noodles alongside roast meats and farm fresh vegetables. Many of these restaurants sit on or near working farms, so what’s on your plate was often grown or raised just down the road. Some serve family style or a la carte, while others offer the full all you can eat smorgasbord experience, if you’re specifically after a buffet, check our dedicated Smorgasbord Restaurants page.
