Bird-In-Hand Family Restaurant and Smorgasbord Description:
This restaurant specializes in family meals and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. The portions are large. The restaurant features buffet and a la carte dining. The restaurant is quite large and is popular among both tourists and locals. There is typically a short wait at lunch and dinner and at breakfast at certain times. During peak tourist season the waits can be much longer depending on the time of arrival. The atmosphere is pleasant, the servers and hosting staff are competent, knowledgeable and friendly, most of them are long-time employees. Costs are average, but have risen noticeably in the past two years. The restaurant also features banquet services for meetings and special events. Many of the more popular dishes such as cold salads, ham loaf and desserts are available to take home in large quantities.
This restaurant is owned by the Bird-in-Hand Corporation. This group owns several hotels in the area (including the adjacent Bird-in-Hand Family Inn), a bakery, a deli and some other local ventures. The restaurant started in 1968 as a coffee shop/snack bar for the adjacent Family Inn (then called Bird-in-Hand Motor Inn). In 1970 it was expanded to a 145 seat restaurant called the Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant. In the 1990s a buffet was incorporated. In 2005 the restaurant expanded and a very large buffet was installed. The name was changed to the current iteration at that time.
