Miller’s Smorgasbord – Over 90 years ago, Anna Miller served chicken & waffles to truckers as her husband repaired their rigs. It was a simple dish, but it was always served up with a smile. Today our tried & true recipes may not be as simple, but they are prepared with the freshest ingredients … and they are still served up with a smile. If you miss Miller’s, you miss Lancaster County.
Open 7 days a week. Reservations encouraged. Walk-ins welcome.
