Editor's Pick

Out of the Fire Café in Donegal for a sit-down New American meal; reserve ahead for dinner.

THE FOOD SCENE

Sunrise Sunset Cafe on the upper level of the Ski Lodge is the quick-meal option between runs. Glaciers Pub offers sandwiches, soup and drinks, while Clocktower adds another resort dining choice.

For an off-site meal, Out of the Fire Café is on State Route 31 in Donegal. It serves New American food with a full-service bar; dinner reservations are recommended, while lunch is seated first-come. Plan the drive and meal separately from your lift time.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Glaciers Pub is a resort option for food and a drink after skiing. Out of the Fire Café in Donegal offers a separate sit-down evening with a full-service bar. Choose around your accommodation and arrange the return journey.

Out of the Fire Café

3784 State Route 31, Donegal, Pennsylvania

🍔Casual

A New American restaurant in Donegal with lunch and dinner service and a full-service bar.

Why We Like It

A sit-down option to build into a Laurel Highlands trip, with a dinner reservation worth arranging in advance. Lunch uses first-come seating; allow time for the drive and meal rather than fitting it between ski laps.
