The Log Cabin is an upscale restaurant specializing in fine farm-to-table cuisine, specialty cocktails and wines. The historic structure dates back more than 100 years and was once used as a Speakeasy before opening officially as a restaurant in 1933, after the Repeal of Prohibition. Since then, the Log Cabin has become a Lancaster County tradition, playing host to countless birthdays, anniversaries, business events and celebrations of all kinds.

Step back in time and join us for a special evening celebrating the repeal of Prohibition! On December 5, 1933, the ratification of the 21st Amendment brought an end to the era of national Prohibition in the United States. With a history rooted in that very era, The Log Cabin originally operated as a speakeasy before officially opening as a restaurant at the close of 1933. Today, we proudly continue the tradition of celebrating this historic occasion each December with an evening inspired by the glamour and spirit of the 1930s. Our servers will be dressed in Prohibition-era attire, while Chef Painter prepares a delicious selection of hors d’oeuvres for guests to enjoy throughout the evening. Join us from 6:30pm- 9:30pm in our upstairs dining area for an evening of history, hospitality, and a nod to The Log Cabin’s storied past. We look forward to raising a glass with you as we celebrate a memorable chapter in American history and a tradition that is uniquely Log Cabin!

Food was good but overpriced. We were told that we had to put our entire food order in at once but another waiter told a table near us that he would put in drinks and appetizers and come back later to ask about entrees. We were completely turned off when we saw a senior couple come in with a dog carried in a baby carriage. That’s a deal killer for us.

Mark, we do apologize for any miscommunication on how orders are taken at The Log Cabin. We ask servers to take the entire order to course your meal out appropriately. We also do not allow pets in the restaurant with the exception of service animals.

What a spectacular evening! We were visiting the area for the weekend and picked this restaurant from OpenTable. We are so glad we did. We ate in the tavern room and could not have been treated better if we were royalty! Our server was great. He made about 1,000 trips into the kitchen to communicate our questions and requests. He even ran to the parking lot when one of us left her bag behind. The food and drinks were gorgeous and delicious. The gentle live music added to the evening instead of overwhelming it. We only wish we lived closer so we could visit again and again.

We've had the 21 day dry aged NY Strip multiple times in the past. Almost fork tender and could cut with a butter knife. I think they ran out and charged the same price. We all ordered medium and these were barely rare. Very tough compared to dry aged! Certainly not worth $78 per steak undercooked or not. I've eaten a lot of dry aged and gladly paid for the taste. This was not that!! I expect a new chef or he was off that day but definitely did not meet prior goals or expectations. I don't know what happened but I do know we paid 78 for a 35 steak and that's being generous. Service was awesome! Other two meals at the table were great. We three didn't say anything to keep the meal going. The steaks were a struggle to cut with a steak knife, NOT dry aged tender!
The Log CabinResponded on October 26, 2026
Carol, we are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your steak. Our Chef remains the same, and we will absolutely pass along your critiques to him and his fellow kitchen staff. We are glad to hear that your other meals and service were delightful!
