When the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, our movers at Packhorse aren’t just thinking about boxes and furniture — they're thinking about fall food.

From hot cider to cheesesteaks after a long move, we’ve rounded up our crew’s favorite local bites to grab in and around Norristown when the temperatures drop.

Whether you’re new to the area or a lifelong local, these fall treats hit the spot.

🍩 Best Local Donut Shop: Suzy-Jo Donuts – Bridgeport

Ask any of our guys, and they’ll tell you: nothing beats Suzy-Jo on an early morning move.

These donuts are dense, flavorful, and never stingy on the glaze.

Favorites from the crew:

Apple cider donuts (seasonal — don’t miss them!)
Classic chocolate glazed
Cinnamon sugar twists

Tip: Grab a dozen before a weekend move and become your crew’s favorite client.

🧀 Best Cheesesteak in Norristown: Eve’s Lunch – Markley Street

We’ve debated this in the truck more than once, but Eve’s Lunch usually wins out.

No frills, no hype — just an old-school steak sandwich done right.

Why it slaps:

Fresh, crusty rolls
Juicy chopped steak
Proper cheese melt (go provolone or go home)

Runner up: Lou’s Sandwich Shop — another Norristown classic.

🍎 Favorite Cider Stop: Freddy Hill Farms – Lansdale

After a chilly move, our guys love to swing by Freddy Hill for a hot apple cider (and maybe some homemade ice cream too).

What to try:

Hot spiced apple cider (served steamy in a cup)
Apple cider slushie for warmer fall days
Fresh apple cider donuts — worth the detour

🌶 Best Chili: Jasper’s Backyard – Conshohocken

When fall hits, chili season begins — and Jasper’s Backyard doesn’t disappoint.

This elevated comfort food keeps us full after long days lifting wardrobes.

Crew picks:

Braised beef chili with cornbread
Fire-roasted veggie chili for our meat-free guys
Bonus: their backyard patio with heaters makes it a cozy fall hang

Why It Matters

We’re proud to be a local Norristown-based moving company, and sharing our favorite neighborhood eats is just one more way we connect with our community.

Whether you’re unpacking your first box or just in town for a visit, we hope this list helps you feel more at home.

And if we show up with cider or donuts on your move day…don’t be surprised. 😉
