local restaurants- Buttonwood Motel & Restaurant
Searching for a super breakfast yesterday morning between Elk and Cameron County, to enjoy on the way to drop off my fall/winter line at the Cameron County Artisan Center, I was told about Buttonwood Motel & Restaurant. Before we were on the road, I put it on Facebook about wanting to try a new (to us) breakfast joint. Not long after doing so a fellow vintage camper enthusiast answered the query with her favorite destination, the Buttonwood, and yes, the fact she mentioned that they have scrapple on the menu also was a big selling point. Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite made from scraps of pork or other meat stewed with cornmeal and shaped into loaves for slicing and frying, especially characteristic of eastern Pennsylvania..

I did not get scrapple this time but, a wonderfully light pumpkin pancake, perfectly spiced Cajun sausage, tender eggs up and tasty homefries w/onions were the choices made. The menu is truly unique where a full plate of specials for example, the mountain man special (or some other concoctions are not offered) which would include pancakes, eggs, home fries and filling up the table but, the Buttonwood offers single choices in 3 sizes. So what you see here is a small portion of pancakes, medium of potatoes, single serving of sausage and the 2 egg size which was perfect or maybe it was that good for I usually take food home. The coffee was another wonderful plus being a STRONG full flavored cup, good stuff.
They say this about themselves:
Friendly service and country charm await you here at the Buttonwood Restaurant. Locally renowned for unsurpassed breakfasts and lunches. Our 70 seat dining room is open to serve you 7 days a week from 6 AM. until 1 PM. A special Friday evening treat, the Buttonwood offers an outstanding fish fry from 4 PM until 8 PM.

They are friendly, all full of country charm and their breakfasts are assuredly unsurpassed in this beautiful section of Pa. known as the Pennsylvania Wilds Region!
Can't wait to visit again, probably for that fish fry!
