Every restaurant has a few dishes that seem to develop a life of their own.
They’re the meals people recommend when friends visit for the first time. They’re the orders regulars rarely stray from. They’re the items that become part of family traditions, weekend routines, and memories shared around the table.
At Brickerville House, those favorites span breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. While the menu offers something for just about everyone, a handful of dishes have earned a special place among guests over the years.
Breakfast Favorites That Start the Day Right
For many guests, breakfast is where their Brickerville House story begins.
One of the most talked-about breakfast dishes is the Cinnabun Pancakes. Combining the flavors of a cinnamon roll with the comfort of a stack of pancakes, this indulgent favorite is topped with a warm vanilla glaze. It’s the kind of breakfast people order for themselves the first time and recommend to everyone else afterward.
For those who prefer something savory, the Fresh Corned Beef Hash has built an equally loyal following. Made in-house and served alongside eggs and breakfast sides, it offers a hearty, flavorful alternative to the canned versions many people grew up with. It’s a classic breakfast done the way many guests believe it should be.
These dishes may be very different from one another, but they share something important in common. They keep people coming back.
Greek Flavors That Help Define the Menu
One of the things that makes Brickerville House unique is the strong Greek influence found throughout the menu.
Guests will find gyro meat, feta cheese, homemade tzatziki, oregano, and other Mediterranean-inspired ingredients woven throughout breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. Dishes like the Classic Spanakopita have become longtime favorites thanks to their combination of fresh ingredients and bold flavor.
That influence extends beyond entrees.
Loukoumades have become one of the restaurant’s most-loved sweet treats. These traditional Greek pastries are served warm and ideal for sharing, though many guests quickly decide they would rather keep them for themselves.
Greek dishes add something distinctive to the menu while honoring an important part of the restaurant’s identity.
Pennsylvania Dutch Food That Never Goes Out of Style
Lancaster County has a rich culinary tradition, and several Brickerville House favorites reflect those local roots.
The homemade chicken corn rivel soup is one of the best examples. Featuring handmade rivels and classic Pennsylvania Dutch flavors, it’s the kind of soup that feels comforting year-round. Many guests consider it a must-order whenever they visit.
The Baked Chicken Pie has earned a similar reputation. Rich, hearty, and satisfying, it delivers the kind of homemade comfort food that has remained popular across generations.
Another longtime favorite is the Baked Wenger’s Hamloaf. A staple of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, it continues to attract guests looking for a traditional local dish that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find in restaurants.
These dishes may not be trendy, but that’s part of their appeal. They connect guests to the region’s culinary heritage while delivering the familiar flavors people crave.
Lunch Favorites Guests Recommend Again and Again
When conversations turn to favorite lunch orders, a few menu items are mentioned again and again.
The Cranberry Pecan Melt has become one of the restaurant’s most popular sandwiches thanks to its unique combination of flavors and textures. Made with chicken salad and cheddar cheese on grilled cranberry pecan bread, it delivers the perfect balance of sweet and savory in every bite. It’s a sandwich that feels a little different from the usual lunch order, which is exactly why so many guests return to it.
For burger lovers, the Smokey Mountain Burger consistently earns praise. Topped with bold flavors and hearty ingredients, it delivers exactly what many guests want from a great burger: plenty of flavor, plenty of substance, and no shortcuts.
These are the kinds of dishes that often arrive at a table and immediately prompt someone to ask, “What did you order?”
Newer Favorites Making Their Mark
Some menu items have spent years building a following. Others earn their popularity surprisingly quickly.
The Cornbread Cowboy Benedict is a great example. As part of Brickerville House’s new breakfast menu, it has quickly become the best-selling item from the new lineup. Its early popularity shows how quickly a new dish can become a guest favorite.
The Wild Alaskan Rockfish Tacos have become one of those standout dishes. Lighter than many traditional entrees but still packed with flavor, they offer something a little different while remaining approachable and satisfying.
They’ve become a popular choice for guests looking to try something different while still enjoying the quality and generous portions Brickerville House is known for.
The Dishes People Remember
Restaurant menus evolve over time. New dishes are introduced, seasonal specials come and go, and guest favorites continue to emerge.
The dishes that stand the test of time are usually the ones tied to memories.
They’re the breakfasts shared with family on Sunday mornings. The lunches enjoyed with friends. The comfort foods ordered on cold days. The desserts everyone agrees to share until the plate arrives.
At Brickerville House, those meals help tell the story of the restaurant just as much as the building itself.
And for many guests, they’re the reason one visit becomes a tradition.
