3 reviews for General Sutter Inn
The food is good- when they have it in stock; watch out for second Friday's cause they sell out.
The fillet Mignon is a tasty choice with their home made mash potatoes.
I also tried their apple walnut spinach salad and that was awesome! A nice summer meal.
The bread they serve is a tasty assortment with soft butter. (And warm)
The location of the restaurant is in the center of the Lititz, which is a cute town.
The restaurant itself is very old- 1700s and it also has rooms to reserve. (I have not stayed there.) GSI also has a nice patio with a small bar.
Overall, I love the place and will be visiting again. And one of these days, I will get there for their breakfast too.
If quaint shops and storefronts are your thing, Lititz....a town nine miles north of Lancaster in the heart of Amish country, is a place worth visiting. We decided to explore the area and just happened upon the annual Fire and Ice Festival, which is a combination of fun ice sculptures placed around the town sidewalks, and a chili cookoff, which is held at the Elementary school.
After a long wait to get into the cookoff, we punted and decided to find a restaurant in town. At the main intersection, we found the General Sutter Inn. Built in 1764, this place will remind folks of the William Penn Inn, Joseph Ambler Inn, and other old historic dining establishments. Since we had the SUV (our big baby stroller) we decided to eat in the cafe section called Zum Anker, rather than annoying the higher paying guests in the main restaurant. After negotiating some steps (Lititz is NOT very handicapped accessible) we sat down to a decent meal.
Since I was a bit nervous about the baby roaring into song at any moment, I was a bit annoyed by the laconic service. In fact I strolled the streets for ten minutes waiting for my food. A bird house store......how does that stay in business? Amazes me, but obviously they're doing something right. Anyway, I had the soup and sandwich special and Emily had the chicken salad. She loved her meal.....I was not overly impressed. But her's looked better....she chose wisely.
If you're looking for edgy in Lititz....you're far afield. But if down home country with a touch of ubiquitous religion (The Ten Commandments are posted everywhere....even at the pharmacy), then stop on by get a taste of the old ways. Lititz...a nice place to vist but.....

We got married in December of 2008 and had our wedding reception here. The staff was friendly and helpful in planning the reception, all conducted over the phone or internet, because I live out of state. The food was very good and the atmosphere was perfect for a winter wedding. We had a wonderful time!
