“The gyro/chicken over rice is so good. The sauce isn't perfect like what im used to in illinois but its so close . I tried it and couldn't get enough of it i literally order only this. The lemonades and sodas are strong they aren't cut . They want you to get what you're paying for ...Easily my favorite place in lancaster“

“We love Challenger Tap House always great times with family and friends, food, drinks, music and staff.“

“amazing place for a great dinner or appetizers and a drink.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot regularly with my parents, and it has that classic old-school diner feel that’s hard to find these days. The place hasn’t changed much over the years, but that actually adds to its charm and homey atmosphere.

The staff are attentive and make sure everything is taken care of without making you feel rushed. Breakfast here is always satisfying, with generous portions—we usually end up taking some leftovers home.

Some of the booths can feel a bit tight depending on your group, but there are larger seating options available.

Overall, a dependable, comfortable place for a good breakfast, and one we keep coming back to.“

Today is my second time to be here. The food is good. All my friends love it.

I do not eat meat. They made my breakfast burrito, took out the meat, and added avocado. It was very good.

Two of my friends had the perfect landing because it comes with coffee (only one comes with coffee).

Hope u will try it. Thanks.

My friends wanted to come again. So I am here. I wish they should have more vegan dish or vegetarian with coffee for me. I hope it will soon because all my friends love to eat here, but I do not want to eat meat. Thanks.

Vegetarian options: Ask the server to help what u need.

Kid-friendliness: Kids breakfast and kids lunch“

“The Experience Dining. We had the Bourbon Experience!! AWESOME! Staff was incredible, Food was Excellent, Drinks!!!! Well, I’ll Drink to That!!!!! Great Job!“

“Had a great girls dinner…more like first place!“

“We love this place and we eat here on Saturdays or Sundays, because I love the menudo soup. Unfortunately, today the pata was very hard and the granos too. I asked the lady before I ordered it and I guess she lied to me. I told them that I didn't like the soup because the pata and granos were too hard, but she didn't offered anything else. She said that it's the same soup as always, but it was not true, because I go for this soup every weekend, but I don't think I will go back again, for almost $20 soup, I don't think so.
So, we left and leave the food on the table, so they can see it how hard it was.“

“We booked a party for 40 to celebrate a 90th birthday. The banquet room was nice and separate from the main restaurant. The service was on time and the food was great. We were able to choose which foods we wanted to serve. We booked the room from 5 - 8 pm and got there an hour early to set up and decorate. The clean-up was provided by the banquet staff. There was several tables of 8-10, so guests could sit where they wanted. There was a table provided for the gifts and we brought in our own cake. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a good time.“

“Great place for a club gathering . I meet with Lancaster Sunrise Rotary Thursday mornings 7am“

“Zelda’s 750 West is my new favorite spot! Chef Karen is doing her THANG in the kitchen and everyone one on staff is A1. If you are in the AV area looking for an upscale restaurant that allows you to come as you are look no further. At first glance the menu might seem a little basic with just wings and pizza but ba-beeeeeeeeee let me tell you something, we ordered three different types of pizza and each of them were FIRE 🔥. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients down to the dough. The garlic parmesan wings were fried just right and had a good flavor. The ambience was a vibe for sure from the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory gates that surrounded the patio entrance to the private room in the back where we celebrated my sisters birthday. If you haven’t done so already go check them out, I promise it will be worth it!“

“First time going since it was Casita Lopez. Decorations and ambience are the same. I was hoping to meet the new owner, but he wasn't on shift today. The service was fast and polite, exactly what I would've expected in previous visits! The food is satisfyingly tasty, albeit not very authentic. The menu is essentially the same as before, but everything is prepared differently: ingredients, portions, etc. 5 stars, definitely recommend!“

“The omelettes are a two meal feast.“

“Good Food,large portions, good prices and fantastic people“

“Hands down Lauren and Carol are the best bartenders in town!! They always go above and beyond for their guests. With a full house and they are always the only bartenders working no one was left unattended or with out anything they needed. They are more than what you expect from Applebee's. Those two are the reason we come back every time. Its nice when people cares about their craft and takes care of business. I hope management see what these two are. doing. Thank you Lauren and Carol you ladies ROCK!!“

“We came after worship service june 10,2018. We were pleasently surprised how delicious the food was. My husband and I had the Turkey Avocado bacon Club. We also had the Strawberry Lemonade. To die for. Loved the atmosphere and our Lead Server was the best. Very attentive, bubbly and funny.“

Schooners Patio Grille is a popular haunt among firefighters, nurses, construction workers, and sheriffs, making it a diverse and vibrant hangout in Lancaster.

What sets Schooners apart is not just its clientele but also its stellar staff. The team at Schooners, led by the fantastic Jamie - who doubles up as a bartender and waitress, is truly remarkable. Jamie's hospitality and service elevate the experience for patrons, making every visit a memorable one.

Whether you are seeking a laid-back spot for a casual drink, a fun atmosphere to catch up with friends, or a safe environment to watch a football game, Schooners Patio Grille ticks all the boxes.

“One of the best sandwiches I have ever had that I did make myself. I am from DFW area and we have nothing like this!“

“Tried N D’s Burger and it was a great spot for a quick meal. The burger was flavorful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the fries were really good. The service was nice and the overall experience was good. I’d definitely stop by again when I’m craving a burger.“

“Hi bar the taking shots and throwing us into farming slides etc weird ness“

“The service and food was absolutely amazing! Our server Azucena was very caring and knowledgeable and we saw the head cook and I had to yell across our booth to let him know his food was DELICIOUS! We come from Los Angeles and have had food at many Danny's restaurants and this one is by far one of the best... Highly recommended. P.S. we were here for a very late dinner.“

“Great customer service and great food .“

“I love the vibe, full bar, and the food options. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the food tastes very bland and unseasoned. If they even just did a pinch of salt and pepper it would be better than what they have now. Please stock up your seasoning cabinet and use it, Scramblez!“

“I was a little skeptical at the beginning, but I was pleasantly surprised with the food, all of us loved it, the French toast with sausage, the chilaquiles plater and eggs Benedict with herb potatoes were great.
Thank you! See you next time!“

“No problems with service, wait times or cleanliness of Tom’s #26. I see lots of 1stars of the service of cash register workers from female reviewers, I think it’s because they are all jealous of how pretty the waitress n register girls are compared to them and their BF’s or husbands were checking them out, lol. STOP HATING on the pretty ladies!!🤦🏻‍♂️“

“deliciosa me encanta como lo atirnden auno!! y variedad de bebidas ! y comida 100/00“

“Service was great! Our server Andy was very attentive and refilled our drinks without us asking. He made suggestions on different meals that helped us decide what we were going to order. I would recommend this IHop location due to staff members.“

“We took a house guest from Pennsylvania here so that he could meet Bella. The food was great, the staff was on top of everything and of course Bella was adorable.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking was available and it was a very easy in and out.“
