184 Country Store
184 Country Store great food, not good Gluten Free options
We recently traveled from the Boston Area to Hershey, Pennsylvania for vacation. We decided to avoid the area around New York City since we didn't want to stuck in any traffic.
About halfway through our journey, we got a little hungry and looked for some places to eat and take a quick break for the kids in the car. We found a cute restaurant just off of I-84 called "184 Country Store."
Initial Impressions
This is a cute place to stop for kids. There are a few things outside where they could explore. The restaurant has a nice type store inside where you can find all sorts of unique General Store things.
This is a good place to stop for not only for food but also to browse around and shop for things.
The general setup is that you place your order at the register and then sit down at a table and wait for them to bring the food over to your table.
Gluten Free Options
The menu featured lots of popular sandwiches. We asked about Gluten Free options and the cashier didn't really know what was available. She checked with the chief to see what foods were available for my daughter.
The only option they came up with was a Cheese Omelet, which they would happily make even though they didn't serve Omelets for lunch.
When the cook delivered the meal, he told us that he makes sure that the grill was completely cleaned before cooking the Omelet.
Good Meal
My daughter liked her meal and ate a lot of it. I think she ate a lot of the snacks in the car beforehand and wasn't all that hungry.
In addition, I think she was a bit distracted will all the store merchandise around that she didn't really want to sit and eat.
Parting Thoughts
The 184 Country Store was a great stop over place. It would have been nice if they had better gluten-free options, for example, it would have been nice if they could have done a Philly Cheese Steak with no bun.
After eating, we had a fun time browsing around the store looking at various things. The kids had fun checking out the dollhouse and fake jail outside.
This is certainly a better stop than going to a fast food restaurant and would recommend it to anyone heading on I-84 in Pennsylvania. The place gave everyone a chance to stretch their legs for a bit.
