50th Anniversay in 2009!

In 1959, Lancaster County's original family-style dining room opened its doors to the public. Back then, the meal was served by grandmother Lapp from her kitchen right in the barn.. Not surprisingly, it became known as "Plain & Fancy Farm Dining Room."

Make no mistake about it, however, Plain & Fancy has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world who have traveled to the "Farm" along Route 340 between Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse to taste and enjoy a bountiful feast of Pennsylvania Dutch home-style cooking. For this reason, Plain & Fancy is the Amish Experience "restaurant of choice."

You'll start with local relishes, apple butter & breads baked fresh that day. You'll savor country meats, including Lancaster County baked ham, golden fried chicken, and our famous chicken potpie with homemade noodles. There is barely room for your napkin amongst the platters of egg noodles, corn and seasonal vegetables. There's always plenty of tea, lemonade and coffee to quench your thirst, of course. You'll want to be sure to save room for the Farm's fresh baked, mouth-watering desserts. We are particularly proud of our signature wet-bottom shoo-fly pie, chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, and our wonderful apple dumplings. We look forward to welcoming you and your family and friends to our dining room. As an official FlavorFest property, we hope you'll come to enjoy the food and fun that has made Plain & Fancy famous for over 45 years.

Group reservations can be made through the Amish Experience Tour Planning Department. For details see Group Information.
