“ What a treat to find this place. Called ahead for closing time and was told to come on by. No lines no waiting. Atmosphere was homey and welcoming. Staff pleasant and accommodating. Real home cooking made from scratch that satisfied our souls. A definite revisit for the next visit to Lancaster PA. Stop by and be delighted. ”
“ The chef salad was amazing!! I have never gotten a salad as fresh or delicious as the one I ate here. Our table ordered a couple wraps, onion rings, soup and a cheese steak. Would definitely recommend it all!! ”
“ Had these folks cater our small Thanksgiving dinner. Delicious food. Well packed for travel. Great value. Will use them again. ”
“ This place is one of the most historic community based restaurants I’ve ever been to. It’s clear talking to the patrons, that it is the one go to place for lunch, breakfast and dinner in the community. Located on rural Route 340, it caters to locals and passers by in equal numbers. Stopping in during lunch, I tried their cheesesteak which was excellent, and although I ordered the sauce on the side, it really made a difference. My meal included a classic corn chowder bowl, which was spot on and delicious. I also ordered the loaded fries and was pleased by the size of the serving. The onion rings were crumb-breaded rather than batter fried, which I prefer, but were tasty all the same. If you were traveling route 340 on your way to Lancaster or intercourse, I would highly recommend making a stop here along the way you’ll truly enjoy the experience. ”
“ 1st visit… Was recently told White Horse had great cheesesteaks. How true! Excellent flavor, perfect amount of steak and cheese, good onions and unique sauce. Slightly messy (always a plus). French fries were crispy. Very friendly staff! ”
