Fig Origin Story: The Log Cabin
The Log Cabin was established in 1933.
Planting the Seed
Tucked in the Lehoy Forest of Leola, The Log Cabin’s roots trace back to the Prohibition era, when it operated as a hidden speakeasy with liquor stashed beneath booths that remain in use today. After Prohibition’s repeal in December 1933, the establishment pivoted and officially opened as a fine dining restaurant.
Rooted in Lancaster
Over the decades, The Log Cabin became a landmark of Lancaster County’s dining scene, attracting generations of diners for special occasions. Purchased at auction in 2009 by Kirk Liddell, the restaurant was restored and expanded for a new generation. In 2017, Chef Steve Painter joined the team, bringing modern flair to the restaurant’s classic menu and drawing on a network of local suppliers to bring creativity to every dish.
Tending New Growth
From the ingredients in the kitchen to the musicians in the lounge, The Log Cabin celebrates all things local. Dining here brings the warmth of crackling fireplaces, timeless architecture, and rolling countryside views. It’s a quintessential destination, inviting guests to dress up, dine well, and create traditions that last for generations to come.
