“love their truck at local events! great ice cream stop, great for family/ kids“

“Enjoyed dinner with friends. Brittanie was our waitress. Very good!! The chef was accommodating to a slight change replacing a regular burger on a salad instead of a beyond burger option of protein add on. Burger was delicious!!“

“We had the short rib Wellington. Fantastic! Our wait person was Mike. What a pleasure! He suggested this meal. Wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to our needs. Would come back, but would need to be waited on by Mike. Great experience.“

“We had a wonderful waiter who helped us pick out our entrees. The food was unbelievable. Great service, great ambiance, great food. Can’t go wrong! We will definitely be back.“

“Haven’t been here for several years and tonight wondered why not? Amazing service from Edwin and the table staff from the time we were seated until the moment we left. Calamari was lightly breaded and served with both a delightful pesto and zesty Thai chile sauce. Preferred the wedge over the Caesar salad, however, both were tasty. Our family had three different steaks with a variety of sauces. The 6 ounce fillet was to die for. All were served with the perfect temp ordered. And then there were the truffle fries. Seasoned with truffle salt, not saturated in truffle oil. No words. Forgot to mention wonderful 3 piece band playing which added to the night. Forgot about the garden room, which we will request next time as a little less formal than where we were seated. We travel often and dine out often and this is a rare exception a recommendation is made. 5-star experience tonight and highly recommend.“

“This was a great homestyle breakfast! The baked oatmeal and the seven grain break was delicious. The complimentary oatmeal cookies were a nice treat. The hipster atmosphere, decor, and artwork made it a unique dining experience. When we come into town again, we will be back!“

“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 -“

“Funcks is a good distance from my house, but I enjoy going there because the food and service is always on point. I am also a big fan of the beer list. It always has something that I like to drink.. When we arrived today. The bartender greeted us before we were even able to sit down. There were three bartenders all very attentive. They each interacted with us during our visit. The food was perfect as always, as well as the service .I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“This was our first time at Stoner Grill and it was so good I’m posting a review! I got the special: Candied Walnut crusted salmon over sweet potatoes and carrots. I asked for it rare and it was delicious! Cooked perfectly, except the carrots were a little undercooked. I couldn’t cut through them easily.
Our server Olivia couldn’t have been better. She was professional and knowledgeable about the menu yet friendly and very patient with me, who couldn’t decide what to get. I’m so glad I got the special.
My friend’s order was the buffalo blue chicken quesadilla which had neither buffalo sauce nor blue cheese inside and we checked all quadrants, but fear not; Olivia promptly brought blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, and buffalo sauce. Great service.
There happened to be an office party celebrating Halloween so that was fun to see and Olivia told us about the different theme nights they have. We are definitely coming back for some of those.
All in all, it was a great meal with great service and we really enjoyed the whole experience. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the atmosphere. The string lights, the lighting, and the well-appointed look of the barn was really inviting.“

“The three of us went for a late lunch and even though we had to wait about 20-25 minutes to get a seat, the staff for the most part were really friendly. One of the waitresses has been there for a long time and is always super friendly to my mom and I. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted wonderful“

“Went to hersheyfarm for the buffet today because they are to be open but unfortunately they were not. Nice gentleman told us they will not open if the theater behind them doesn't have shows going on. Definitely should be advertised somewhere for people who drive a distance to go there! Did however get some delicious drinks from cafe23 upstairs!“

“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.“

“One of the great food stands at Southern Market, offering innovative farm fresh cuisine. Loved everything; but, have to give a huge shout out to the turkey melt. This isn't Grandpa's turkey melt....it is an extraordinary sandwich with thick turkey cuts, fresh crisp sourdough and just enough tang from the cranberry compote. I'm a fan...“

“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.“

“CAROL AND I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PLACE..FIRST TIME THERE WON'T BE LAST...JAZZ DID NICE JOB AT BAR...PASTA WAS GREAT...CROWD OLDER AND FRIENDLY...WOULD RECCOMEND. ONLY SMALL COMPLAINT..NO BREAD...TRY IT WILL LIKE.“

“A wonderful restaurant to host a special event. I hosted a retirement party for my husband. Drew was great to work with and he and his staff did a fabulous job of making my guests comfortable and the evening worry free for me! The guests raved about the food. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. A huge thank you to the White Swan owner and staff for making the evening such a memorable event.“

“This place serves up really decent comfort food for a very affordable price. The atmosphere is a bit rustic and that fits the neighborhood quite nicely. You can't go wrong with nearly anything on the menu and they even make a Pittsburgh salad.“

“We come from Maryland to go to Dottie's Snack Bar. We missed them when they were closed. We are so glad they are back and still as a family run small business. My favorite thing is a strawberry sundae. The ice cream is great! So are the steak subs. Welcome back Dottie's.“

“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.“

“Penley's Pub is a recent addition to Dutch Wonderland. It's the first restaurant inside the park that serves alcohol and they have a great selection of local beers. They also have a few food options focusing on pretzels and sausages. The prices are decent given that it's inside an amusement park.“

“Food was fabulous !!! Highly recommend“

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

“So my husband and I love trying new places! We are not from Lancaster but from the Reading area. We sat at the bar on Saturday and met Boots.. Yes. Our bartenders name was Boots. He was nothing short of amazing!!!!! He was fun, funny, knowledgable and perfect!! Our food (Korean kabobs and pretzel) were sooo delicious!!! Drinks fantastic!!! If you have a chance to chill with Boots I highly suggest you do it!!! Thank you Boots for a fantastic afternoon. Just wish we got to see Kat and give her that message (lol)“

“In business for nearly thirty years, Lancaster Brewing Company has the brewpub concept down pat. The atmosphere is casual (albeit potentially fairly loud), and the dining area offers a view of the brewery tanks. Speaking of the beer, there are quite a few varieties to choose from – everything from nitro stouts to peanut butter ales — and LBC offers flights for those who want to try it all. The food selections are equally impressive. While you can find the requisite wings/burger/pizza here, LBC also defies expectations by offering up white chili or a chicken, leek, and lager pie.

My wife and I split an order of teriyaki fried cauliflower, a braided soft pretzel, and a burger meister and found the food to be very good. The cauliflower featured thick breading and a sweet teriyaki glaze. I could have eaten an entrée’s worth of it and have been satisfied. The pretzel was warm and pulled apart easily. Rather than being accompanied by separate cheese and mustard dips, its partner was a blend of beer cheese and mustard, strongly flavored but tasty if you don’t mind mustard. The burger featured fresh ground bratwurst, something that will leave you wondering where it was all your life. The accompanying fries were natural-cut, salty, and crisp.

While our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning of the meal, she vanished toward the end, and we were in for a wait to get our checks. LBC isn’t cheap for what it offers - $13 for the cauliflower, $16 for the burger – but the portions are at least sizeable.

If you want good beer, good food, and a dash of the unexpected, Lancaster Brewing Company is a very appealing option as long as you have the patience for high volume and a bit of a wait.“

“We have been a number of times and I haven't reviewed before because while I like the food there was always something I couldn't put my finger on. But tonight, we had such fabulous service from Graham that I wanted to give him the shout out. The good is good. It can feel a bit stuffy but quality is excellent.“

“This was such an amazing place to go, I can’t wait to come here more in the summer time, they were so patient and sweet and the food was amazing, they have a small shop inside with Bible verses and that won my heart over, I love this place.“

“Delicious!!!!! Very friendly staff“

“We had a great time today! The food was delicious and our server Rhonda was fantastic. All of the staff were very friendly and the wait time was well-managed. Our daughter loved “eating on a train” and it was so cool to watch the train go back and forth from our window.“

“Had seen the billboard and we were in the area so decided to try it. We were both glad we did! My wife got a wrap with potato twists and I got the fried chicken plate. We both couldn't believe how good they were. Great waitress also. The pretzels are a great added bonus. Can't wait to come back and try other items.“

“This restaurant was GREAT. After the renovation, they upgraded not only the restaurant's interior, but their chef, menu, and workers as well. Everything was amazing. The workers were really friendly and came up multiple times to ask how the food was and to refill our drinks. Furthermore, the food was absolutely delicious. In particular, the firecracker shrimp was so yummy---the best shrimp I've ever had. Definitely, I'm gonna revisit it soon.“

“Enjoyed an outstanding meal here last night. Everything- service, food, drinks- was beyond my expectations. Greeted warmly upon arrival by hostess. Dining room decor is inviting and attractive. Our server, Cierra, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. We ordered the soup of the day (potato and corn chowder), and vegetable scampi over linguini, and both were wonderful (so flavorful and featured fresh ingredients). Presentation reflected care and attention to detail. Desserts (pecon bourbon pie and strawberry cake) were superb, and the cosmopolitan was perfect! I wish I was staying in the area an additional day because I would return for dinner tonight. Wonderful addition to dining options in the area. Highly recommend.“

“Our kids love the Nutella Dough Head Waffles!“

“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.“

“Awsome, If I lived near this establishment, I would be a regular. There were 7 in our party, and I did not hear one complaint. We would recommend everything we tried. Mac and cheese, chili, hot roast beef, fries, burgers, all the way down to the Barq's.“

“Where to start. We have probably driven by this place dozens of times as we pass through Lancaster back to home in Maryland. We were looking for a place to grab dinner and saw this on Yelp (sorry Tripadvisor). Wow! There is a fairly limited menu of either burgers, cheesesteaks or chicken dishes. But who needs a million choices when what they do, they do amazingly. We got the single patty burgers. You can go up to four, yes, four. We also ordered them with the fried cheese curd, which is a patty of mozzarella cheese that's deep fried and put on the burger. Did I say "yummy!" yet? Made with a fresh beef patty and put on a buttered bun, it was soooo good! The burger was just absolutely delicious. Best burger I've had in ages, hands down. And where can you get a fresh made burger for $5.99? I mean really, $5.99. The fried cheese curd added $2.25 but well worth it for still less than $8.50. We also ordered a side of fries and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were just how I like them with a crispy panko style coating. They were great! Again, best onion rings I've had in a long time, if not forever. We barely touched the hand cut fries due to filling up on the burger and onion rings, but they were also good. We got the Route 66 sauce on the burgers and a cup to dip the onion rings in. Again, delicious. Note that if you are looking for bacon on your burger, this is a Halal restaurant and there is none. I'm a big fan of bacon on my burger, but you won't need it, trust me. This is definitely a place we will be coming back to. A bit of warning that parking may be a little challenging for folks not used to driving in a city and inside the place is pretty tight. We did not have to wait for a table, but I imagine there could be a wait at times. But it would be well worth any wait!!“

“Whew! I had a Ball! It was definitely Lit! Danced ? and just felt alive. Shout-Out 2 the Band. I can't remember their name Lol but it was a black woman singing and a black man leading the Fun!! Y'all took me back ? 70's, 80's, 90's that Band did their thing! Much Love!“

“It's always a good, hearty meal at Cracker Barrel. My husband and I like to travel and Cracker Barrel is often our go-to. Our visit on this date was a bit different, as normally we don't have an issue with service, but this time, it took quite a while to get any service. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal.“

“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.“

“love coming here. Food is wonderful, waitresses are kind and fast. you will not be disappointed.“

“This hotel is so accommodating and has every detail in order for families. Also affordable for families. We have been there multiple times and every time it has been clean and staff super kind and friendly. Best little find tucked away in Ronks!!!“

“Service was excellent. Loved the cozy atmosphere. Food was delicious. Wonderful menu variety.“
