Restaurants near Bird in Hand

“This was something like my 3rd visit. It is an absolute must when coming to Amish Country. Make it a jumping off place for your exploring. The baked goods are amazing, the service is friendly, efficient and well thought out and the ambiance lets you begin to feel that you have really stepped away from your busy, modern life. Great for families, tourists or those who just want a to slow down.”

“We stumbled upon this gem at a kiosk at the hotel we are staying at and we can never turn down BBQ. 😂 the food was great, the service was great, and everything was fast, hot and perfect. Mark was our waiter and he was amazing. Not only is he a great server (i know because I worked in this industry), he’s incredibly kind and hilarious. We came for my birthday, which he knew. When I said no to dessert he asked if he could bring me a scoop of ice cream with a candle, to which I said “sure, but no singing!” Well when he came back to the table with another employee he loudly pronounced “on the count of 3!” Like they were going to sing and counted down then walked away. It was incredibly funny. Thank you, Mark, for making the night memorable!”

“We drove over 175 miles just to stop at Whispering Pines Farmstand & BBQ in Bird in Hand, and it was absolutely worth it! The setting is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by Lancaster County farmland. We had the half chicken with cheese fries and sides, and everything was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and full of that amazing smoky BBQ taste.

The desserts were delicious, the kind you think about long after you’ve finished eating. The farmstand also has fresh local produce and goodies, all reasonably priced. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the pride and care that goes into everything they do.

Totally worth the drive. Great food, great people, and a true Lancaster County gem!”

“Great Selection of Wines 🍷🍷🍷 my favorite winery in Lancaster 😉”

“We love visiting here when we are in town. Our bartender was awesome. She mixed one of the craft brews with cider. It was perfect! We never miss an opportunity to stop at this place when visiting Lancaster!! Go check it out.”

“Excellent cakes!! Tracy was very communicative and matched our cake to the reference picture perfectly for my son’s birthday. Will be going here for all of our special occasion cakes moving forward.”

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

“Just had dinner at Bird-in-Hand Restaurant- the smorgasbord was amazing! So many choices! Everything was hot and delicious. The cheeseburger soup was very good! The homemade rolls- very yummy! Shrimp, ribs, mashed potatoes! Salad! I even had a mango slushy! Definitely the place to eat. Can’t wait to come back and try breakfast! Oh and dessert! Wow! Pies, puddings, amazing. Very Lancaster County authentic food! Loved it!”

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.”

“My husband and I have been wanting to try Silantra for months and today we finally checked it out! We LOVE it!! The food is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. Our 11 year old son had a chicken and rice bowl with yellow coconut curry sauce and he wanted me to write that it had the perfect mix of spices and the chicken had a perfect texture. Five stars!! We will 100% be coming back!!”

“Loved Brazilian Table! The sandwiches were delicious and really hot! And the cheese bread was exceptional!!”

“Their coffee and customer service is top notch! I placed an order, recently, and it was received in 2 days! That is amazing, considering all the current delivery issues. When I contacted them to discuss my delivery concerns, they provided an alternative solution that worked great. And the coffee- I am loving this Keystone! So smooth and rich at the same time.”

“We loved Passerine! The branzino was fabulous! The ribeyes were perfect! Loved the mushroom soup and pate! And the specialty cocktails were full size and delicious. It was a great night with friends!”

“thank you to the staff and especially to Olivia who made our anniversary last night so special 100% recommend we will definitely be back”

“Probably the best ice cream I have ever had.”

“Great food and great service. Love that there are vegan options.”

“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!!!!!”

“Great room. I highly recommend Songwriters in the Raw.”

“Deliciously Excellent pie and coffee!!! Warm and inviting atmosphere! People are absolutely amazing! We travel from Staten Island and visit every time! 🩷”

“Just had a wonderful lunch on the deck! Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely be back!”

“Stopped in during a conference and was blown away. The barista, Blaze, was incredibly friendly, seriously knew his stuff, and made the best latte art I've personally seen (four different designs in one morning!). The espresso was the best I've had in PA thus far, and the drip coffee was easily on par with my own pourovers at home. Also got a blueberry lavender scones that was as good as they come.

The spot is small, with very little seating, but I honestly found that charming. Maybe I'd have felt differently if I weren't there right at opening!

If I lived in Lancaster, I'd be here daily -- but for my wallets sake, it's probably best I'm so far away!”

“We loved it! The egg sandwich was perfect. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the 3 condiment combo but they know what they are doing! It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had. Just sad we are from out of town so I can’t get another anytime soon. We also had the berry ones. It was a great experience.”

“Amazing food and service! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Bravo manager and team! Amazing food, great drinks. Will come back again. Highly recommend. Cheers”

“Had a great dinner with friends and family. The location was not the greatest. It was rough to find parking. Other than the parking we had a fantastic time. The service was fantastic, all meals came out at the same time and were fantastically presented. I would definitely dine here again.”

“Place is fantastic! beautifully decorated and the food is superb.Wait staff is very attentive.”

“First time trying the cheesesteak, it was amazing! Definitely will be back!”

“Amazing!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re anywhere near Leola, do yourself a favor and stop into Gracie’s On West Main. From the moment we walked in, the staff stood out. You can tell they’re incredibly well-trained—not in a stiff, scripted way, but in a way that feels genuine. They welcomed us as if they knew us for years and were eager to share the story behind the café, which made the whole experience feel personal instead of transactional. The food absolutely delivered. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And the bacon? Honestly, next level. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor—easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. This is one of those places that gets it right across the board: great people, great atmosphere, and food that actually lives up to the hype. We’ll definitely be back when we are in the area!”

“Their pretzels are amazing. Wide variety of jar food, baked goods and hand made goods. Can’t wait to go back next year.”

“Delicious food, excellent service!”
