Do not allow the name Kountry Kitchen be a guiding impression on what to expect dining here! One might think all the food and atmosphere inside is indicative of eating... read more on a farm, like many of the restaurants found in Lancaster County. Not really the true picture you will find at the Kountry Kitchen, located a short drive north of Manheim.. This restaurant has a very good chance of totally surprising and exceeding your expectations. I picked a prime dinnertime Saturday for a visit. From the outside the parking area around the building is practically spotless. Once inside it's also easy to tell that the owners have everything under control. Just looking around before you even take a bite is often a good way of telling whether this will be a satisfying experience. Have no doubt this is a diner with pretty much any dish you could ever dream up on the menu & served in a comfortable surrounding. There will be lots of attention given to your dining needs; the owner seems genuinely & sincerely interested in knowing how your experience was. On the daily special Saturday menu, two very impressive entrees were chicken,shrimp ziti & chicken pasta primavera. The serving size for the primavera was equal to 2 full meals and the cream sauce was incredibly mild - usually it's so sickening it gets to you after awhile.That wins a 5 dot rating right there! Then if you fail to eat enough, the desert tray will be offered. and you will be richly rewarded for a final time. It's so impossible to pass this up! Get it to go is my recommendation.There's also a bonus if you choose Saturday or Sunday dinner because you might see the performers still in costume from the RenFaire just up the road. After all the Queen doesn't feed the peasants as well as the Kountry Kitchen does!

  Ate lunch first time here. Staff immediately took us to seats. Prompt waitress came with menus, asked what we wanted to drink, and listed daily specials. They have daily specials... read more every weekday. Also have senior specials like turkey and mashed potatoes. I opted for Shepherds pie and was very glad. Two large scoops mashed potatoes in hot bowl and beef, carrots, etc. Comes with soup or salad and 1 side. Waitress said I could get 2 sides instead so I got corn fritters and apple fritters in powdered sugar. I was able to get half to go home. Main meal came with 2 rolls and 2 pieces zucchini bread and butter. Brewed tea and coke products were our drinks. Waitress came several times to ask how everything was and refill drinks. Menu says breakfast served all day also. Just drive north of Manheim about 1.5 miles or so along route 72 and is on left side of hwy. Caution, don't park directly in front because you have to backup when leaving and it looks like you get close to route 72 traffic which is not going slow. Instead park on side.

  Found this place on my way to the Renaissance Faire. The food was great and the portion size was unbelievable. My daughter ordered pancakes and they were the size of... read more a dinner plate. So good too. My daughter's had chocolate chips added in and they melted in her mouth with every bite. Our waitress Sarah was very nice too. This place was a gem.
