Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Leola

11.21.24 Our server was the best part of our visit to Founding Farmers! Her name was Casey D. and she just made us feel so great for being there, at the right time! There were so many people and we thought it might not be the right time but she said please don’t worry. All these people have been served, or their order has already been taken, so we are ready for you! They served us great food and really quickly and we were able to see our movie on time, and we were so grateful! We really just wanted a super green healthy large salad to split and that was the $18.50 all good green salad! Has so much in it! And then my friend wanted to have half margarita pizza and half plain tomato pie and— that’s exactly what the kitchen did! It was perfect, because we had the best of both worlds! That pizza was only 17.99 and it was a thick Sicilian style! But also crispy corners! My friend absolutely loved it! Then we had a great memory of the pan fried potato pierogies, —but it now comes with a spicy dipping sauce, that’s a little bit sweet, and very hot—but I think next time we would get it, not pan fried, but just steamed, with some butter, salt, or sour cream. We forgot to ask… but the pierogies are just 4 for $9.99… never realized that they are $2.50, per each! We got the potato ones… Such a good food memory! This pre-movie snack was just perfect, and it did not break the bank! Also, on the way out as we thanked them, we found the most delicious box of caramel cookie chocolate! Next time we should try the chocolate mints… Looking forward to coming here again! I also remember the purple and black kale salad being really good and we were thinking about it But we were full with all the food that we ate… It was perfect timing for the movie ! Thank you so much, Founding Farmers! Also, we love, Casey D.!!!

The food and wine were superb. We enjoyed a lovely bowl of bisque style lobster chowder with bacon, the filet with stuffed shrimp and a bacon cheeseburger with truffle fries. Our server was not as attentive as we would like, we were celebrating my husband’s 65 birthday and the server did not inquire about a special occasion. We overheard a server at two adjacent tables inquire if their customers were celebrating a special occasion and we had mentioned they it was my husband’s birthday on the reservation form.

The Log Cabin is a secluded yet welcoming culinary delight! The warmth and charm felt like a hug! Our server, Lauren, was engaging, informative, and clearly an asset. The menu was creative and interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners - blackened salmon Oscar and the free range chicken breast - prepared to perfection. Sincere thanks to the staff for a great dining experience.

Not our first rodeo here and it never disappoints. Great food, great ambiance and great service make it a worthwhile journey. Wished we lived closer to dine on a more regular basis. We toned it down a little last night with a shared Autumn Salad, Elk Osso Bucco, Four Hour Short Ribs and exquisite desserts and a double expresso. Everything was simply outstanding.

Greenfield Inn is our go-to restaurant for perfect filets. As always, they did not disappoint.
