Ponduce Farm Market - Elysburg

Great lunch at Ponduce. I've seen some of the other reviews, if you're expecting elegant waiter service, this is not the place. Great counter service restaurant with large serve toon of hot and cold hoagies, salads, sides, and many specials of the day. Includes a small market area with baked goods and fresh fruit and veggies Subs come in 3 sizes. The small is plenty large. Try their home-made pirogies.

Going to Ponduce Farms is always a unique and pleasant experience. Their Christmas barn gift shop and their tree farm provides everything you need to deck your halls for the holiday season. In their restaurant and store, you will find a delicious selection of cookies, pies, breads, ice cream, chips, jams, jellies, candy, sodas, fresh produce, pantry staples, and their famous Paczki donuts. They also have a full menu of cold and hot subs, chicken, sandwiches, hamburgers, and many other food items. I enjoy their homemade pierogies. Their hamburger baskets are also good; they give you generous portions. The owners and their staff are wonderful people, and their customer service is excellent.

Very sad they discontinued their tractor ride to pick your own pumpkins. Store had a Closed for Season sign in the door. Also disappointed that the restaurant store didn 't have any donuts/baked goods at 10:00 am.

Part Farm Market/Restaurant/Banquet facility in the country a few miles outside of Numidia (though the address says Elysburg). Banquet facilities are in the back of the building and in the summer an outdoor area down by the lake. Farm Market/Restaurant and the Banquet facilities have different entrances, so watch for the signs. My experience is mostly with the Restaurant/Banquet portion. Restaurant is located within the Farm Market. Hoagies are large and delicious and Hamburgers are good. Has a lunch buffet with several items. The buffets are extremely popular and on a non-holiday are inexpensive and provide a large amount of good food. If you're going to be attending a holiday buffet, be prepared for a crowd and check if a reservation is necessary. Holiday buffets are what knock a star off this review, as I've had a few less then great experiences. Banquet facility is a small/medium size facility, can get crowded at times. I've had both hit and miss experiences with banquets depending on your taste in food. The Chicken is very popular (but not in my taste), the Pork Chops are ok, love the Roast Beef. Sides are usually good. Beverages usually include Coffee, Unsweetened Iced Tea, and Water, so if you're looking for Soda you have to purchase it separately in the restaurant. They have both cans and fountain available. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Disappointed, staff was not very friendly, when they say restaurant I thought they had a menu, it's all hoagies and a special of the day. They had more of a selection when they were in Mt.Carmel. Sorry,no special trip to go back..
