Although Tom and I have driven by the Stone House Butcher and Provisions shop every time we go to Uniontown, we had not stopped there. We don’t buy a lot of meat. About once a month I get chicken breasts from the grocery to cook in bulk and then use in lots of dishes. But …
From Places to Eat
Fuel Coffee Works in Farmington
One of the little places Tom and I have really enjoyed this summer is the Fuel Coffee Works in Farmington. This is the non-chain equivalent of a Starbucks and it is a delightful place to stop for a good cup of coffee or a sweet. Neither Tom nor I drink coffee, so I can’t really …
Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant
After spending hours at Mount Vernon, Tom and I were hot, tired, and hungry. There are two dining options at Mount Vernon: a food court with typical burgers, pizza, and salads and the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant. After checking out the offerings at the food court, Tom and I opted for the more elegant restaurant. …
Penn Alps Restaurant and Craft Shop
The main reason we ended up discovering Spruce Forest Artisan Village was the repeated recommendations of Ranger Mike to eat at Penn Alps Restaurant. The restaurant is located in Grantsville, Maryland, about an hour from where we live. So we had never been there. But Kaylan’s request to see four states in one day meant …
Summit Inn: A Beautiful Place for a Dinner
Tom and I spent time with lots of friends and family in August. Sandy and Eric came to visit, then John, Jackie, Steve, and Amy came. At the end of the month we went to Ohio for Dad’s birthday. But before we went to Ohio, another group of friends came to see us from Ohio. …
Bittersweet Cafe in Farmington, Pennsylvania
I wanted to eat at Bittersweet Cafe ever since I first heard of it. It is rated the #1 restaurant out of 16 in Farmington and gets really good reviews on TripAdvisor. The problem? We usually eat out on our days off, which are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday we usually go grocery shopping and …
Archies Barbeque Restaurant in McHenry, Maryland
The last thing we did with Sandy and Eric was eat at Archies Barbeque in McHenry. All of us love good barbeque and it was a late lunch with lots of activity since breakfast. We drove past Archies on our way to Swallow Falls and all greed we should try it. Archies Barbeque looks like …
Baltimore Street Grill in Cumberland, Maryland
While Tom and I were in Cumberland we ate at the Baltimore Street Grill. We selected the Baltimore Street Grill after checking out the menus at three other restaurants along Baltimore Street. One was too fancy and expensive (they asked us if we had a reservation – for lunch!). The other two had odd mixes …
Maywood Grill in Chalk Hill, Pennsylvania
While my brother and his family were here we ate at the Maywood Grill in Chalk Hill. Even though the Maywood Grill is just a couple of miles away from us, we had not eaten there before. We had tried, but they seemed to be closed on the days we wanted to eat there. Maywood …
Ligonier Tavern and Table Restaurant
On the day Chris and Bill and Tom and I went to Fort Ligonier and the Compass Inn, we ate at Ligonier Tavern and Table Restaurant. On our previous visit to Ligonier, Tom and I waited too long to pick a restaurant. I got to the place where I was too hungry and cranky to …
