Caleb’s American Restaurant
Caleb Lentchner and Carol Ann Della Penna created this warm and popular modern BYO eatery in Lahaska, PA, which is adjacent to Peddler’s Village, located where Routes 202 and 263 intersect. Caleb's American Kitchen (CAK) menus are inspired by all things American including steaks, burgers, lobster, shellfish, Creole, California as well as local and regional farmers from PA and NJ.
For eight years, Chef Caleb Lentchner worked as the general manager and executive chef of New Hope’s premiere restaurant, Marsha Brown. Caleb Lentchner holds degrees in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management from Johnson & Wales University and Florida International University.
The breakfast menu is full of everything that a breakfast menu can have, all with a creative flair and many options. At Caleb’s you can start your lunch with the Soup of the Day, and order entrees like Petite Sustainable Atlantic Salmon (crispy skin, honey-miso glazed, sautéed broccolini, macadamia nuts, coconut sticky rice) or maybe Cold Tuna Hot Rice Bowl (spicy chopped raw ahi tuna, avocado, watermelon radish, carrot, cucumber, seaweed, sweet wasabi soy glaze, coconut sticky rice). The Crab Cakes are especially delicious. There is a full selection of Burgers. The CAK Burger (gruyere cheese, roasted red onion, rosemary aioli, brioche bun) is a great choice.
There is also a selection of Big Salads and Sandwiches.
Dinner is amazing. Great salads and starters, such as Lobster and Shrimp Chowder, Braised Short Ribs Grilled Cheese and others. Creative dishes that hold my attention are Wild Mushroom Stroganoff (varietal mushrooms stewed in oat milk and rice flour, sweet potato noodles, shaved parsnips), Shrimp & Scallop “Risotto Style” Farro (butternut squash, kale, parmesan, trumpet mushrooms and walnut farro, topped with shrimp and scallops) and Beef Short Ribs and Mushroom Ragout (peppercorn tagliatelle, slow cooked tomato, shaved Romano cheese, wild mushrooms and boneless short ribs). And one of the best things about Caleb’s American Kitchen is that you can top off your meal by choosing from a large Dessert Menu.
Caleb’s American Kitchen’s hours are Breakfast 8 a.m. to 12 noon daily; Lunch 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily; Dinner 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The restaurant is located at 5738 Route 202, where Routes 202 and 263 intersect, in Lahaska, PA.
