Lancaster County is a very special place for us. It’s like a blast from the past, where Amish, Dutch, and American culture come together in an area that is essentially a traditional rural setting with a spattering of modern conveniences such as premium outlet malls and Walmart.  Not much is known about this locale other than the curious anachronistic culture of the Amish and Old World Dutch craftsmanship yielding a plethora of antique shops, but with every antiquated culture usually comes good old-fashioned food in some shape or form.  Tucked away on the side of a rolling hill with its own babbling brook is one of the Lancaster’s most famous eating establishments and cultural meccas, known for its traditional charm and amazing fried chicken. Welcome to Good ‘N Plenty.

Looks like cole slaw, but they call it Pepper Slaw since it has no mayo and has chopped green peppers. Sweet and tangy.

Can't beat fresh squeezed lemonade on a hot summer day!

The main attraction - FRIED CHICKEN! Crispy, crunchy, organic, hormone-free and fresh from the farm across the street... Best we've ever had.

There's also other dishes that they change on the menu from time to time, from roast beef to a sweet ham meatloaf, and plenty of sides including mashed potatoes, egg noodles, and corn... but in our opinion, you can't beat the chicken.

After the meal comes a selection of desserts including fresh, organic, ice cold chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream made from the same milk. Both are creamy with a clean chocolate flavor, not artificial or chemical tasting.

Some lemon crumb pie to finish it off. Totally unnecessary, but still good. They regularly change up their dessert selection depending on the fruit in season.
