No mention that this was a family owned business. The Weaver family built it after buying the gas station from a former owner in the early 1940’s. My grandparents built the business and I worked there from ’66 to 1975. My grandmother came up with the recipe for the shoo-fly pies. We could make 292 pies at one time and we ran the ocean sometimes 12 hours a day. We also mailed the pies all over the US.

Than you for years of great service. If it wasn’t for tasting a sample of your pie we wouldn’t have returned for the last 20 years to continue having the best pie around. Thank you so much for keeping your recipe genuine. You will be truly missed. God bless.

I grew up back east and have been eating Dutch Haven shoofly pie my entire life. It is, in fact, my favorite pie. Alas, I may have the last official Dutch Haven shoofly pie in my freezer here in Elk, WA! Now I don’t know whether to eat it as a last goodbye or put it on Ebay with a $1,000,000 reserve.

In reply to George Shuman Jr. My wife Carolann has been coming here since she was a little girl. She remembers having meals in the restaurant. She introduced me to Lancaster when we first started dating. We both love lancaster and come here at least 5 times a year. Dutch Haven was a mandatory stop on the way home to pick up the shoe fly and other pies. My wife had admired a hand painted ceramic duck in the window since a child. Every time we went there for the past 30 years, I tried to get them to sell it to me. They told me none of the figurines in the window were for sale. We'll, one day I asked as usual and to my surprise I was able to by the duck she loved. It now is proudly on display in our home. A little girl's dream come true 50 years later. Thank you Dutch Haven!!!!!
