What our guests are saying

Dined in, super friendly and great customer service! The waitress checked in very frequent and had great conversation. Food was excellent. I need to come back to try the brisket! It must be good since it was sold out when I got there.

Fabulous! Fantastic! This place is a wonderful adventure into the realm of home-cooking. Breakfast was unbelievably delicious and filling. The French Toast sandwich was an epic mixture of tastes and delights. Their scrapple was made to Lancaster standards, and service was quick and friendly. It's worth the pop in.

Finished a triathlon nearby and rolled up to phat daddy’s for some recovery nourishment. The service was excellent and kind from the start! We had our dog with us and they set up a tent canopy and table just for us. Brought out drinks and a bowl for the dog, even put on some music for us. The food was excellent, some of the best pit beef I’ve had. Worth a visit!
