Established in 1988, the Blue Coat Pancake House opened as a more casual dining option continuing a tradition of great food for which its upscale sister operation -- the beloved award-winning Blue Coat Inn -- was already immensely popular. The name was updated to the Countrie Eatery to reflect its success at filling the void between fast food and upscale dining establishments.The Dover family which created and successfully operated the historic Blue Coat Inn for nearly 37 years continues to operate the Countrie Eatery.
