“My husband and I were on a small getaway and discovered this treasure. I am an ice cream lover and must tell you that this is hands down the BEST ice cream I ever had. My husband profoundly agrees! He wanted to go again before we left but it wasn’t possible. We’re already trying to plan another trip down just to go to Fox Meadows. Also, the staff was so friendly. The you g woman who waited on us was extremely friendly and provided us samples to try. Since it was our first visit we were also given a free beverage each! We 💯 percent recommend!!!!!“

“We met a family member here for lunch between Christmas and New Years while traveling through the area. The food was as one would expect at an Applebee's, two of us had the grilled cheese cheeseburger which was pretty good, the kids had chicken tenders and the salmon and the wife had the chicken alfredo. They have a kids menu, but both our 10 year olds ate off the adult menu. I would say the standout part of our dining experience was our server, Mindy. She was very accomodating, had a mind like a steel trap, and did a great job recommending things. Keep up the good work! One thing to point out, and this has nothing to do with Applebees...finding the entrance with our GPS was a challenge. Not being familiar with the area we ended up having to do a loop to find entrance, which is NOT off 322. Turn onto Spring Garden St (its a lighted intersection), then left onto E Hill St (next street up from the light, then left into the parking lot. Our GPS did not know any of those steps, so it could be frustrating if your navigation skills are not the best. Simply put follow the signage for the Hampton Inn & Suites which is right there as well.“

“First visit and was impressed“

“It was great experience.Food and drinks were delicious. Staff is friendly and food was coming out quickly and right. I would really recommend butternut squash and lobster bisque soup 😋. We had mushroom pasta and shrt ribs. It was absolutely out of this world. It was crowded and loud a little on Sunday night. Reservation is a must.“

“best food in Lebanon county. very friendly staff. I go there to often because I live about .5 miles from there.“

“great place, excellent service... Holly was fantastic!“

“Had the best time at Reflections Restaurant to celebrate my dads retirement. I have a almost three year old with that said this place was just so nice going in at 3pm - we had a little area to ourselves and the food was amazing. I never order a pork chop anywhere as well ya... lol but thanks to this page ans what i read on reviews it was by far the best meal i had in a long time. My girl ordered the pizza didnt touch any of it as she was too busy eating my pork chop and her grand parents yummy meat loaf and truffle mac and cheese All of us left stuffed and happy It was just too darn yummy ! Thanks for the memories -“

“We had dinner with some friends!! Three of us got the pork chop and it was wonderful! Another friend had the Beef Wellington and she said it was delicious! Everyone was kind and serving to us.“

“awesome food friendly waiter. very friendly“

“Hunter was an amazing server he took great care of us! He was very attentive and very helpful and answered all our questions. Missy was a super star and so sweet and very comforting and welcoming and was well versed about everything that the restaurant had to offer. Emily is the sweetest and kindest human I ever met! She is so friendly had such a welcoming and amazing personality! She was hands down fantastic!!! These people are fantastic and amazing we appreciated them so much!!! Thank you so much Hunter, Missy, and Emily.“

“This is our very favorite restaurant, however due to a very large crowd this evening, we had to sit at the bar. It was nice at first. But our waitress/bartender was a bit rude to us and didn't even check on how our meals came out, offer more beverages, refills and did not offer dessert. We usually tip very well but didn't this time. The crowd had really dispersed by the time we had our meals so there was really no excuse for the bad service. We will continue to go back of course becasue we love it there but hoping for a better experience.“

“I came here for a trivia night event and had the Sea-duction with a side of green beans and a baked potato. The seafood was tender and well-seasoned. I especially enjoyed the broiled flounder. The baked potato was cooked just right and came with butter and sour cream. I absolutely loved the seasoning on the green beans and they were tender without being overcooked. The service was prompt and friendly, especially with the business of the evening. The dining area was open with an inviting ambiance. I would come back again and sample some more of their menu in the future!“

“Great place. You get your moneys worth“

“Everyone here is pleasant. There are a lot of activities here for the residents. I come here to help some clients and they all love it here.“

“The food, most of the time, is delicious. The only thing is that most of the time you have to call back to back before anyone answers the phone and when you arrive, the staff seems a little chaotic and overwhelmed - maybe they're understaffed? I've never had a negative interaction with anyone, there just seems to be a lot of confusion and overwhelm. All that aside, I really do love this place.“

“Their pan-seared salmon and shrimp linguine was delicious! Sadly, their creme brulee was lacking: it was barely warm, the top was burnt, it was a looser consistency than it should be. etc. I've had way better creme brulee that's as it should be and this was not it; if you're looking for a traditional creme brulee, I'd look elsewhere.“

“The cocktails and food were superb. Every member of the staff that we encountered was friendly and helpful. An overall delightful dining experience and atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Outstanding service. Excellent Diner style food, served hot. Follow the locals and you cant go wrong .“

“We had an excellent meal here. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken but everything I had was delicious.“

“Spring/summer/early fall Friday night live band nights are always fun. Recently discovered the Birds Nest Deck to watch the Eagles games and I won’t watch them anywhere else now. I believe there has been a change of ownership since the past (2021) and I definitely think they are moving in the right direction.“

“I was there to celebrate my birthday with a friend and we had a wonderful evening. Matthew was our server. He was wonderful and attentive. We had the Alaskan cod and it did not disappoint. We love Gibraltar's . It's my family's go to place for special occasions and just for a night out of good dining. The owner is amazing and the staff is always informative, kind and attentive.“

“Parking: Arthur's Terrace Restaurant is located in The Eden Resort Hotel, Best Western, Eden Road, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where there is plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is located in a hotel where there is a hotel lobby.“

“Love this restaurant! The crap cakes are so good! So much crab meat!! The grilled steak kabobs are the best! It quickly became one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Walked in 40 minutes before close and was rushed to place our order and felt rushed to eat while being stared at so the staff could close up. The saving grace was how awesome the food was. Best fries I've had in a very long time. I had a turkey reuben that was amazingly crispy and had perfectly balanced flavors. My sister had a burger that looked amazing and my friend had fish and chips. All the food was incredibly hot.“

“Cute little shop. Very good pretzels. Had the cinnamon sugar and it was delish and warm. Husband had the garlic and he said it had good flavor but very garlic and my daughter had regular with cheese sauce and said it was good. The girls workimg where nice and efficient. The place is very clean and smells amazing. Would go again when up this way.“

“I only recently tried Mick's and I loved it. Love the pizza in particular. Typically, when I try a restaurant with only one or two items I will eat. As someone with severe food sensory issues, I love that there are so many items on the menu that I can eat! Pizza is my go-to but I am branching out and trying other dishes. I haven't tried anything I didn't like yet. Loving the Shepherds Pie today!!!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“So good, food was fast and fresh.“

“Had two sandwiches, the Reuben and a chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. Delish. Other restaurants could take lessons from them on how to make a Reuben. Where they fell short was with the overpriced drinks, Autumn rum runner and a martini. The martini came with a 2" square ice cube and not much drink. They need to take lessons from Penn's Tavern Restaurant on how to make a rum runner. No one has beat theirs yet.“

“We got General tos, Cajun, hot, and sudden death for an extra $10 which equates to $16.25 for 5 wings . Sudden death wings are extremely hot & impossible to eat more than one . It tastes good , but you can barely taste them due to how hot they are . They definitely are NOT worth the extra money at all & I do not recommend them . However, the other wings were Delicious! Our favorites out of the 4 was hot . It’s a very tasty hot sauce & not a typical hot sauce . They were nice & crispy and pick up was a breeze . Thank you guys so much, but you can keep those sudden death wings 😂“

“Great food, friendly staff, and the salad bar has pickled eggs and beets.👍👍 We live in the suburbs of Harrisburg and we stop there to eat when we visit the area about 2x a month. Keep up the good work.“

“The service was quick and very pleasant. Your coffee was some of the best I’ve drank and your black bean brownie was better than a regular one!! My grandson enjoyed it and never knew the difference ❤️ An eclectic, homey, well priced coffee and eatery. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!“

“We were warmly welcomed by Laura. Had sandwiches, scones and lattes. All good, fresh and flavorfull. Nice ambience and located in the heart of the Main St. shopping.“

“I really like everthing I have ever bought at Zigs, my problem is the service, you can be at counter waiting for service an the servers will just walk past you.“
