Beck’s Harvest House
Our first stop was Beck’s Harvest House.
The owners are second generation “Beck’s”
and they are some of the most hardworking
people around.
We enjoyed their nice (shaded) patio setups
and tried a variety of breakfast and lunch
options. If you’re looking for an authentic
“Belgium Waffle,” we found one. Their
dough is made with love and topped with
whatever fruit is currently in season on
the bluff. We were lucky enough to visit
during strawberry season so we enjoyed
our waffle topped with fresh strawberries
and smothered in whipped cream! We had
to also try some savory options so we went
with a couple of their favorites: “Turkey
and Cranberry Sandwich,” “Signature
Reuben,” a “Club Sandwich,” and a
“Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich.” The
“Gourmet Grilled Cheese” is perfect for
vegetarians and the “Signature Reuben”
was shockingly delicious!
We can’t forget to rave about their
homemade potato salad. Marilyn Beck has
mastered her recipe; don’t ask because it’s
a secret, and once you taste it, you’ll see
why!
Now, the real reason we can’t visit Green
Bluff without stopping by Beck’s Harvest
House … their famous “Pumpkin Donuts.”
If you’ve ever visited during the fall, then
you can smell them from a mile away (and
that’s pretty much where the line starts).
But, be patient, because their donuts are
well worth the wait. They literally melt in
your mouth and I’d be lying if I told you I
haven’t had a dream, or two, about them.
You can try their fresh pumpkin donuts
during the summer Thursday through
Sunday. Also, they have some really great
ice cream flavors and a whole shop full of
other delicious goods. If you’re there on
a day they aren’t serving donuts, try one
of their scratch-made pies or blueberry
cheesecake! Ours were gone in minutes …
not sure how that happened! (Guilty!)
