“A great,wonderful atmosphere”

“We had our office lunch catered by 272 BBQ and it was a hit! The food was outstanding! We had plenty of pulled pork, mac and cheese and coleslaw to go around. I worked with Logan to make this happen. He was quick to respond with a quote and my questions. I highly recommend 272 BBQ!”

“No wait time, clean and friendly environment but best of all… amazing food!”

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza”

“Great breakfasts, soups, and sandwiches. Sending prayers to the Udder Choice family”

“Went before the snowstorm and ordered 12 bone in chicken wings for takeout. Ordered Sweet Thai Chili and Boom Boom sauce flavored wings. They were hot, crispy, juicy large wings and delicious!! The best wings around!!!”

“This place is AMAZING!! I’m so happy they’re here in Ephrata!”

“I’ve been coming to Cocalico Coffee Crafters for about a year and a half now—and I should have written this sooner. CCC is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place with the warmth of a hearth, and the heart to match. Their Haitian espresso is rich and flavorful, the food’s solid, and the baristas are friendly. The space is large, and they fill it with good energy. But what really sets this place apart is the people. When I was going through a rough patch, I spent countless hours tucked away in a corner writing. Not once did anyone bat an eye at whether I ordered one coffee or ten, whether I took my meals there or not. I always got the same welcoming smile, and authentically good energy from the staff and owners alike. Owned by two genuinely kind humans, Rachel and Scott Elliott, this shop has quietly become a place of refuge and community for folks around East Cocalico—and I’ll always be grateful for what it gave me when I needed it most. Be sure to check out their site for menus or event rental information—I've not been in attendance to any, but I've seen the care with which they prepare: They're who I'll talk to next time I need such a space.”

“Absolutely delicious food with well developed flavor. We've gotten take out five times so far, I believe. it's so good!”

“We tried to stop before, but they were closed (my fault I didn't check hours). We came back today and wow!! I'm glad we did!! We decided to try the adobada burrito and it did NOT disappoint. I asked about elote and huaraches. The super friendly little boy told me elote they usually do in summer, which makes sense. But his dad got some and they'll be having some for order tomorrow May 9, 2026. I will definitely be coming back!!!”

“Great atmosphere, great food, great beverages! perfect for the location! 10/10 recommend!”

“Best crepes around, as well as outstanding coffees and teas. Friendly, fast service, clean and homey atmosphere. Outstanding!”

“I love everything about Fox Meadows. The lunch, salads, soups and burgers are my favorite! Of course the ice cream is delicious and their chocolate chip cookies are the best!”

“Ice cream and service fine. Clean benches outside and nice pup cups. Just disappointed no butterscotch dipped cones etc. Be careful turning out of parking lot as traffic came flying down road.”

“food is amazing prices are fair service is very good all around 5/5. I would definitely recommend to friends and family”

“The stuffed flounder was amazing.. all the sides you get also. the waitress was great!”

“We just ate here everything was delicious! I had a buffalo chicken cheese steak so huge and yummy my hubby got the Philly cheesesteak with WIZ and as a Philly girl born and raised I tried his with not high hopes cause in Lancaster county there has been nothing close to a Philly cheesesteak so I will tell you it’s darn close ! It was very good ! I will order one next time ! We got an order of fries which was big enough to share ! I couldn’t finish mine ! Owners are so friendly! Neat little place with great food ! See you soon The Pizza House !!”

“Friendly staff. Also if at all possible the owner will do special requests, I ordered a chicken cheese steak with broccoli and it was delicious.”

“Just had a cheese steak and his and had a cheeseburger sub. The cheese steak was amazing and hubs like the sub. Definitely recommend them for their sandwiches. The home made rolls are very soft!!”

“Loved Inspiration brewing. I had their winter ale and a schwarzbier,both were excellent. Nice little brew pub in Ephrata. The owner, Brian was knowledgeable and nice to talk to.”

“Love 💕 your food! Vince and all the employees are so kind and helpful!”

“Good beer, buffalo chicken Stromboli was amazing. Service was excellent!”

“Got a couple of cheeseburger hoagies for the family tonight, delicious! Friendly staff, tasty food, stop in. We love their pizza too. ?”

“Love this place and the owner. Top tier Hispanic food”

“Great food & Service 4 our Party of 23”

“Ate at La Promesa tonight for dinner . Food was excellent! Wife had a mangoes shake, I had strawberry. We both had chicken dinners. Very reasonably priced. Staff was excellent! We’ll be back!”

“just tried javateas for the first time this evening to try out the monthly coffee flight, the toy story one! service was great, sweet workers and quick with making our board ☺️ drinks were absolutely amazing, that salted caramel espresso is one of the best coffees i've had in a long time! i've lived in this area my whole life, can't believe i haven't been here sooner, will absolutely be back!”

“I had heard good things about Scratch Bakes. I just got a cupcake and peach tea. I also saw a meal someone else ordered. The cupcake was very tasty and the tea refreshing. The indoor seating is very pleasant, quiet, and layed back. There is also outdoor seating. The service was friendly and helpful!”

“Most Compassionate. 🌈🐾🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐶🦴🥩🥔🍖Heart of Gold staff.”

“Good Subs! Fast service!”

“The service was fine and the food was very good. (we were a part of 10 with 4 children), but I do have a complaint about the details when ordering. I ordered iced coffee and was not told that there would be a charge when I asked for a refill. I ended up paying $15.80 for 4 glasses of iced coffee. we also asked if we could replace fries with Cole Slaw and we were charged an additional $3. Charges like there should be stated by the staff when ordering. I did not realize the charge until the next day. Our total bill was over $150.”

“my kids love the indoor playground, great food, friendly staff.”

“First time ordering after hearing nothing but raving reviews! Absolutely delicious! I chose the Phad Khmer mild and added chicken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Mouth watering delicious!”

“Love, love, love this Asian Bistro!! The sushi is amazing and so are the meals. Have loved everything we tried so far! GREAT customer service! Has become our go to….sometimes 3-4x a week - LOL.❤️❤️❤️”

“the people are very service is good food is always hot and fresh”

“Many grocery stores have an area to get s bite to eat. Many do it well, but Dutch-Way and their Cafe do it Very, Very Well. The cafe and open kitchen are absolutely spotless, the food is served fast and always to our liking and it is always delicious. The menu doesn't overwhelm in size but there is something for everyone and they do it well.
Highly recommended!”

“Excellent food and service at Roma Pizza. Their take on the cheese steak is excellent. The bread is super crispy and the cheese and meat delicious. I also ordered some chicken wings that they deep fry. I will say, the wings were overdone (fried for way too long) but they were crispy for sure. Overall, I would come back. #recommended #bechego”

“Such a hidden gem! Staff was so incredibly nice, food was delicious, reasonably priced, everything was clean (including the bathroom). Definitely coming back!”

“Every time I’ve eaten there it was scrumptious! Very nice, cozy cafe with an always-tempting daily board of choices. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a gem! GO”

“Such a lovely dinner & wine tasting!”

“great place to enjoy a super great meal. the food is out of this world. plus i want to thank them for allowing the car group to park in their ot to enjoy the groups meets. again. great food and thank you.”

“A lot more bar seats now. Will be great in football season.”

“Lots of delicious food to choose from! Service is fantastic. People are so nice and friendly there.”

“Delicious pizza! We order regularly from JD's and are happy every time. Their mild wing sauce is so good!”

“Best service ever the manager and workers work very hard and do a amazing job . My kids and family love you all . You guys are so sweet .”

“Love! Our local store delivered pretzels for all staff! Thanks, Tanya (Ephrata store)”

“Walked in and they're very friendly and helpful! Food came out fast and it was hot out of the oven. The food was amazing!!! Got a hot buffalo Stromboli. They are not skimpy with their food. It was the perfect amount of spicy, juicy, and delicious! And there wasn't that extra amount of dry crust like other people's Stromboli. Perfect!!!”

“Ate here for the 1st time after driving by for many years. Had the Reuben and a Lager. Both were excellent and the wait staff was very attentive to our group. Will not hesitate to add this to my list of local places to eat.”

“Thank you Starbucks of Ephrata for a fabulous experience! A fantastic group of baristas working this afternoon with bright faces & smiles & bubbly personalities! Very refreshing with customer service being what it has been lately. Thanks for putting an extra pep in my step today with more than just coffee! The new drink concoction you recommended is delicious. Best experience I’ve had there. Keep up the good work! ☺️☕️”

“I love this place. The food is hot, correct, on time pleasant staff...!!!”

“😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋”

“Food was great! We ordered in person & got a wait time of 15 min., on a Friday, around 1:30 pm. We went to get gas and came back about 20 min. later. Still had to wait another almost 10 min for the food. I think they had a lot of internet/mobile orders too. Only reason we ordered in person instead of online was because the person buying didn't want to put the credit card online through the phone. Total price ended up being about $3-5 cheaper when ordering in person (maybe the extra was for credit card processing fee?) All-in-all I would recommend this place if you're near here & craving some good Chinese food!”

“Got the VIP treatment today :) such amazing customer service here, and the owner David is so awesome and friendly! Thanks for making my family and I cotton candy!!”

“Popeyes ephrata pa location is always on point. They are friendly, attentive, and fast. Food is always hot and fresh and they keep their store clean. Literally every other Popeyes I’ve been to should take notes from this store location”

“Defiently enjoy sitting at the bar an enjoying a good evening out. The drinks are decently priced. So many options to choose from because everyone not just woman need options!
Always a great vibe whenever I work in and greeted by the employees with smiles and friendly hello’s.”

“This is a great little Chinese restaurant, however its more conducive for take-out than as an eat in establishment. Food is delicious and prepared by a wonderful family.”

“Wild Wings is always consistent & delicious in my book! My go-to is the BLT pizza & the peppercorn Parmesan wings and they never fail to deliver. Not to mention, it’s a small business & locally owned which I enjoy supporting.”

“I’ve always been a fan of the food here—everything is consistently great and hits the spot every time. However, I’ve had repeated issues with the ordering kiosks frequently failing to accept credit cards, which can be a real headache.
​My recommendation to avoid the hassle is to download the Sonic app and just order on your phone before you arrive. You can easily enter your stall number once you park, or just use the drive-thru instead. It makes the whole process much smoother! Definitely worth a visit, just skip the kiosks if you want a stress-free checkout.”

“Excellent also very clean. Comfortable environment.”

“Super friendly lady always there, even remembers us. The food is as expected and in my opinion pretty good, especially at this particular location. It's my go-to for cheap takeout!”
