How did I live practically across the street and never knew about this little gem?! Happy to have…read morefound it, even after moving a few miles away. It's definitely off the beaten path and completely unassuming, but I definitely recommend seeking this place out. Their deli counter is well priced and always packed with patrons for MTOs and takeaway portions. They also have hard ice cream to dip into cones and bowls. After that it's always an adventure as to what you're finding. All the dry goods, random produce and baked goods along with refrigerated and frozen items. It's a small store that gets quite crowded, so pack your patience. The checkout line gets long but moves efficiently. It's an adventure!

My roommate told me about Forry's 11 years ago, and I passed that sign on my right hand side, the…read moreone right across from the Dollar General on Marietta Avenue for the last 11 years never realizing the goodness I'd been denying myself. Forry's is tucked back there-- but it's a true Lancaster County gem. I'm a little transparent with my feelings! Ha! And after oooooing and ahhhhhing one too many times, a fellow shopper said, "so when did you move to the area?" And I had to say "I've been living here for the last twelve years!" And she said, "and you're just now coming here?!?!? What took you so long?!??" My thoughts exactly! Ugggghhhh!!! WHYYYYY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?? Forry's has a deli counter with all the Lancaster county favorites; soft serve ice cream, a made to order sandwich counter, -- like Subway-- but Soooooo much better (they even have pretzel rolls!!!!) They have produce, meat, bulk goods, frozen gourmet entrees including REAL gnocchi and ravioli-- I mean-- oh my LORD-- that little, non-assuming shop, is tucked in the back -- where one goes there because one wants to-- because it's a heavenly destination-- and exudes love and care from the second you walk in! And as was pointed out to me by the sweetest lady ever at the register: "ya hafta try our oatmeal raisin cookies. They're the best," and she was NOT wrong! We got the chocolate chip ones too. So good. Get over there y'all! Forry's is one of those places that just might renew your faith in humanity and give you a reason to go on. Just a bit of homey heaven, just a little off the beaten path. Don't be lazy like I was. Go check it out!

For those who don't live in Lancaster, PA; it's a "thing" and a good "thing" at that. There was an overwhelming response for Kissel Hill and so, that's where I vowed to be, on a Saturday, arriving at around 11:15. The barbecue masses, showed up at 10am. I figured this must have been the case, because when I arrived, there were no more leg/thigh combos, grilled sliced potatoes - sold out, except for one, which we snagged (the last potato) and grilled carrots - gone. If you plan on going to an Amish barbecue stand, get there EARLY. The consensus (among myself & hubby), potato - under cooked, chicken lacked essential flavors derived from smoke and brining, meat wasn't as tender as was expected, completely out of napkins and forks?? Oh crap! Come on Kissel, I know this isn't your first rodeo. Some Amish bbq stands include whoopie pies, this was not one of them. Sadly, even the roll was not up to par; it was stale. Oh man. No worries, Lancaster County has lots of contenders out there and I aim to try all of them. There is small adjoining market with a ton of apples, onions, potatoes, pie filling, pickles, noodles, baked goods, flowers, dairy items and more.

Stand out items include: bulk spices, molasses crinkle cookies, Gene Wenger's hamloaf, and their prepared turkey croquettes (a staple in my freezer).
