Primanti Bros. said in February that it was closing its Camp Hill and Lancaster restaurants. It hasn’t been the only familiar name to go dark in Pennsylvania this year. Here are the restaurant chains closing Pennsylvania locations in 2026, and where. 1. Smokey Bones. Smokey Bones shut down its...
Free chocolate milk refills are still a thing at one Old West-themed steakhouse. That detail alone made me grin. The chain behind it once had more than 700 restaurants across America. Now only about a dozen remain nationwide. Just one still stands in Pennsylvania, and people drive hours to reach...
Big Dean's Hot Chicken has been in business for five years.
Snapper soup is the dish people keep bringing up at one old colonial house in the Pennsylvania countryside. Yes, that snapper. The turtle-based classic that sounds like a dare and somehow tastes like comfort. The soup is only the start. The same kitchen turns out crab cakes, French onion soup,...
In 1983, a fire wrecked the upper floors of a beloved restaurant building, and it was marked for demolition. Then one man stopped the bulldozers. He claimed the burned-out shell and saw an Italian dining room where everyone else saw rubble. His whole family spent ten years rebuilding it and...
A plate of crispy haddock and fries at one Pennsylvania seafood house can stretch into two full meals. That is a lot of fish for a place hundreds of miles from the nearest lobster boat. The whole idea started on a Massachusetts harbor, years before the doors ever opened. Today...
A bakery in Pennsylvania sells fresh pasta right next to its bread and cannoli, and it closes on Thursdays and Fridays. That schedule alone made me curious. Who skips Friday?. Another stop on this list serves its pasta in flights, so you can sample several dishes at once. A third has been cooking Southern Italian food since 1946.
There are places in Pennsylvania that look completely unremarkable from the outside but absolutely blow your mind the moment you step through the door, and Three Rivers Karting Entertainment Park in Leetsdale is at the very top of that list. If you’ve been searching for a reason to get off...
A Pennsylvania tavern has a taxidermy skunk on display, an old bank vault used for private dining, and an appetizer called Goat Balls. The Skunk and Goat Tavern sits on Main Street in North East, a small Erie County town near Lake Erie. Its unusual name is only part of the story.
Buffalo gets the credit for inventing the chicken wing, but Pennsylvania has quietly built a wing scene that can hold its own. From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, neighborhood bars are tossing wings in sauces that range from classic hot to flavors you have never heard of. Some spots offer more than...
Imagine watching an entire stainless steel diner lifted onto trucks and transported across town. That is exactly what happened to a historic Pennsylvania restaurant when a highway expansion project threatened its longtime home. Rather than abandon the building, its owners moved the vintage structure approximately 12 miles to a new...
A 1918 Montgomery Ward department store now holds more than 100 vendors across four floors. Yes, the same company that once sold America everything by catalog. The building got a second life, and it’s packed with treasures. The ground floor ceilings rise 18 feet high. Restored maple floors run...

The PA Lottery said that a retailer in Lycoming County sold a $1 million-winning Million Dollar Win It All Scratch-Off last week.

The bacon at this butcher shop is dry-cured and heavily smoked right on the premises. Even better, the sausages, cold cuts, and smoked meats are made by hand in-house, the old-world German way. The man who started it all began his butcher apprenticeship in Germany at just 13. He earned...
A pizza measuring 28 inches across is already an unusual sight. Now imagine a restaurant offering $280 to anyone who can finish the entire pie in just 28 minutes. That was the challenge announced when this Pennsylvania pizza shop opened in 2025, and the numbers alone are enough to grab attention.
Some dinners are just dinner, and some get circled on the calendar weeks ahead. Across Pennsylvania, certain steakhouses have become the go-to spots when a family wants to mark a birthday, toast an anniversary, or simply make a night feel bigger than usual. This list covers nine of them, from...
A night at the movies can cost a small fortune these days, but a slice of homemade pie at a Pennsylvania diner is still a pretty easy win. Across the state, small-town counters and roadside dining rooms keep turning out cream pies, fruit pies, and old Pennsylvania Dutch favorites at prices that feel friendly.
More than 450 kinds of perennials grow along winding paths here, and a friendly cat named Tiny might greet you on the way in. That alone had me hooked. Add frog-filled ponds and a greenhouse, and this plant nursery starts sounding like a storybook setting. The property covers about two...
