Do you remember your favorite restaurant growing up? The classic family restaurant, for example, where everyone in the family could order something they liked? That old standby where you’d always head to when no one could agree where to eat? Next time you’re in that circular “where do you want to go” argument, set off for one of the best family restaurants in Pennsylvania.
Located off of a bustling highway in Dubois, Dutch Pantry Family Restaurant dates, in one form or another, back more than a century. It remains a favorite for both locals and travelers, who pull off of the highway in search of a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere.
Pull up a chair in the family restaurant that has a special surprise for dessert – if you’re up for it. Until then, however, take a peek at the menu, brimming with breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes.
Ever just get a hankering for breakfast, even when it’s not breakfast time? Dutch Pantry serves breakfast all day, making it easy to cure your craving with a hearty helping of steak and eggs, French toast, or hot apple fritters.
If you’ve stopped by for lunch or dinner, peek at the appetizers to get you started. Cheddar hot fries, chicken wings, and sweet corn nuggets are just a few of your choices.
The menu also boasts hot sandwiches, sandwiches, burgers, and a selection of steaks. If you’re really hungry, dig into a filling entrée – the stuffed cabbage roll, homemade meatloaf, or chopped beef steak.
Still hungry after your meal? Or maybe you better do the Apple Fritter Challenge before dinner. You’ve got just one hour to finish the sundae with 26 scoops of ice cream and 13 fritters.
If you manage to eat it all – with no help whatsoever – you’ll get your ice cream sundae for free, win a t-shirt, and have your picture posted on the Wall of Fame.
Save some time to check out the gift shop after your meal, too, where you’ll find Dutch Pantry goodies, like apple butter and dressings, and candy.
