The Lunch Ladle

"The Lunch Ladle is a gem! Met the owner by chance at a local tasting room, and my cousin and I decided it was going to be our lunch stop at the end of our "cousin's trip" to Lititz. I got the soup and salad bar, she just got the salad bar. The crab bisque soup was one of the best I've ever had- the bisque was as delicate as the crab itself,so did not overpower the crab. The creamy beef and broccoli soup was also delicious! The ground beef chunks added a different taste to a soup standard. The salad bar had the usual standards, but besides the iceberg lettuce, they offered a spring mix, and baby spinach as well. There were also some of the traditional Lancaster area go-tos:: pickled eggs & beets, ham salad, potato salad, etc. While we didn't choose the hot bar, the theme for today was Asian, and boy, it looked yummy. So, while slightly off the tourist-trap trail, The Lunch Ladle is a great place for lunch when you're in the Lancaster, Mannheim, or Lititz area!"
