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 very kitchen. Not surprisingly, the site became known as "Plain & Fancy Farm Dining Room" and never really took on the notation of "restaurant".
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.
	You'll start with sweet and sour relishes, apple butter & breads baked fresh that day. You'll savor no fewer than three country meats, including Lancaster County sausage. There is barely room for your napkin amongst the platters of egg noodles, dried corn and seasonal vegetables. There's always plenty of iced 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 which you can even order from us through the mail, and our signature dessert, apple dumplings. We look forward to welcoming you and your family and friends to our dining room. We promise that you'll leave understanding our notion that when you walk through the front doors, you've come to "eat yourself full" before you say good-bye.
