Where to eat in Intercourse, PA (or while your visiting Snyder's)

Lunch at the Kling House

We get asked several times a day "where is a good place to eat around here?' Lancaster is known for is smorgasbords, large buffets with ample servings of PA Dutch foods. In the small town of Intercourse though, there are no smorgasbords, though several good ones are only a few miles away, we will cover them in a later post. Here are our recommendations for eating a good meal in our hometown.

Kling House
This restaurant is located in the Kitchen Kettle Village, a collection of over 40 small shops and a must visit. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch and features a variety of local staples like scrapple and meat loaf. Several of the Snyder family had lunch there recently and were exceptionally pleased.

Olde Mill Restaurant
The only option in town for dinner, the Olde Mill Restaurant is in the recently renovated Intercourse Inn & Suites. It draws a heavily local crowd on week nights and features a solid menu of local delicacies like pork & sauerkraut. We often order carryout from here, and sometimes have company dinners here.

Stoltzfus Meats/Amos' Place Restaurant
This is our favorite spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. Everything is made to order. Amos's Place Restaurant is located in Stoltzfus Meats & Deli. Our favorites include eggs & scrapple for breakfast, a spicy kickin chicken wrap, or broasted chicken for lunch. Also try to hand cut fries or a PA Dutch version of the Philly cheesesteak. It can get very busy during lunch time on Saturdays but they do offer the option to call ahead and order.

We'll look at some of the restaurants outside of town in a few weeks. Let us know what your favorites are!

Mother's Day

As you might have noticed we have a Mother’s Day sale coming up this weekend. Remember to show some appreciation to the mothers in your life, and of course that appreciation could involve a gift purchased from Snyder’s. We'd be glad to help.

It was a slow weekend, town was empty, and it appeared the tourists stayed away. For a community that depends on the tourism industry this was not the best news. It does appear though that things have picked up over the last 6 months or so. Today we got a new table on the showroom floor; it’s an old favorite, the Frederick single pedestal table done in black and special cherry on solid cherry wood. We have a nice variety of new items arriving over the next few weeks. Because of the lead times, it’s always hard to keep items on the floor when people buy them right off.

If you’re a fan of art, or just like to enjoy a night on the town, remember its First Friday in downtown Lancaster this coming Friday. Many of the art galleries and antique shops are open late. It’s a great way to enjoy the vibrant downtown area of Lancaster. Lancaster is so much more than farms and woodshops. You can learn more information at LancasterArts. Another place I like to recommend is Rosa Rosa Ristorante Italiano’s Late Night Jazz. They showcase local and regional talent from 10pm onward every Friday and Saturday. If you ever want some information about activities to do in the area, do not hesitate to ask us.

Have a great weekend,
