A Lancaster County Connection
Stampede started close to Lancaster County. From 2013 to 2017 it ran as a seasonal roadside barbecue stand on Route 23 with views of Lancaster County farmland. In 2018 it moved into its permanent home on Morgantown Road in Mohnton, and in 2022 Detwiler Brewing opened inside the restaurant. Read our story for more.
