Yesterday was a beautiful day to meet my brother and his wife for lunch. He lives in Wellsboro so we try to meet half way for both of us. This time we headed to a small local restaurant in Salladasburg, Pennsylvania…about 60 miles east of Boalsburg. The restaurant is named Waltz Creamery & Farm House Cafe.
Salladasburg is the smallest borough in Lycoming County. It had a population of 252 at the 2020 census. Salladasburg was laid out by Jacob P. Sallada in 1837. In the 1890 census it had a number of stores and shops, one hotel, a gristmill and a tannery. Today, the population is now set at just 238 residents. Obviously, many folks living here now commute to Williamsport and Lock Haven for work and shopping. The building housing the restaurant is in the former Cohick’s Trading Post.
Salladasburg is located at the intersection of PA Route 287 and PA Route 973. I managed to miss the tiny sign that said, Welcome to Salladasburg, but we went by the Church that was mentioned in the Wikipedia entry (see photo above).
The restaurant had great food, a varied menu and was busy on a Monday. Seemed like several local “groups” of folks were out to lunch also. We had a nice visit with my brother and his wife! It’s a great place to meet…about halfway for both of us!
By the way, we did have a few raindrops on the way home. Guess the clouds were telling the truth!
I always love seeing hate Pennsylvania sites in your travel blog posts. And I see the resemblance between you and your brother!
HA! I know exactly where this place is. When I have driven by it in the past, it’s always got a full parking lot. I always think it must be a great place to eat and someday I’ll stop there…not that I go by it a lot, but occasionally! Glad you had a wonderful visit.
It certainly works for us so we don’t have drive all the way to Wellsboro!
