50 Best American Restaurants near Bird In Hand

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“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 were seated in the outdoor area, which was beautifully landscaped. The server was friendly and accommodating. My husband ordered a burger and a Hop Hog IPA, both of which were great. I ordered the fettuccine. It’s described as a creamy pesto sauce with house made baked tomatoes (like sun dried) which would give it a more concentrated flavor. But when the server delivered it I couldn’t see any tomatoes so I asked the server about it and she said she could bring me some. 10 minutes later she brought a small bowl of blistered cherry tomatoes. By then I had already started eating it and though the sauce was tasty, it was kind of bland. Adding the tomatoes helped but it really needs the concentrated taste of sun-dried, not fresh tomatoes. Crushed chili peppers would have been an improvement. I was disappointed in the lack of attention by the kitchen in getting it wrong twice, and by the long wait time. The server apologized for the wait but it would have been appropriate to knock a few bucks off the bill.“

“We had an amazing experience at the restaurant. Matthew was our waiter and he was very attentive and kind. Our waters were always full and we're giving new clean silverware for each course. It was a beautiful atmosphere incredible food, and very worth the money. “

“Thai Chicken and Rice soup was absolutely amazing. Nice balance of heat and richness, rounded out with some mushrooms and broccoli.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Probably one of the most affordable places to eat in the Lititz area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Today I took a trip with my individuals from the Adult Enrichment here and they requested something from the menu. All of my cards declined and I felt awful. We sat outside to eat our packed lunches and we were pleasantly surprised with a meal. Not only does this restaurant have an amazing atmosphere, great food but they are so incredibly kind and caring! This meant so much to me and made my individual super happy! I will be bringing my family here from now on! 💜🫶“

“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.“

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

“An absolutely beautiful place to stay in Lancaster. We will definitely be back. Our accommodations were comfortable and clean. They have hardwood floors in the rooms instead of carpet which is so refreshing! Staff were friendly and joyful. It’s a beautiful resort and the restaurant food was delicious and well cooked. This is the best buffet I’ve ever been too. Tastes like home cooking!“

“I went there with a group of 6. Easy reservations just a few hours earlier, good food, cool decor. We were in the indoor dining room on first floor. Very loud group next to us, so towards the end of our dining conversation had become nearly impossible. Good reviews on their soda bread, shepherd's pie, and classic fish & chips! Definitely recommend their cheesesteak egg rolls as well!“

“The atmosphere was pleasant and service was friendly and attentive. We really liked the natural lighting due to the big windows where we were seated. The place was clean and inviting. The food was so delicious, I had the Owl's Nest burger & the dessert we tried was amazing too.(Strawberry Angel Crunch cake) Even though they're only open to the public for lunch Monday-Friday it gives us a chance to try more of their outstanding meals/desserts.“

“I've eaten here a number of times and, I think they switched over to using smash burgers so, two patties is recommended. Today, they had our hamburgers sitting on the counter getting cold until the fries were done, Bummer. Fries were good.“

“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.“

“They had the most consistently good flight of beers from all the taprooms I have visited. Not a “meh” in the bunch. The Baked Pumpkin Ale is in my Top 5 I’ve had at a taproom. Great burger and the only knock would be the blackened shrimp were a tad salty.“

“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.“

“First time dining experience for my husband and I Nice staff Great food Loved the nostalgia Great atmosphere to get away from the normal chain food eateries Sometimes we need to slow down and take in the small things of life to appreciate all that God has given us.“

“What a great place we stumbled upon today for lunch! Excellent service, ambience, delicious food, drinks and dessert! We will definitely be back with friends. This place needs to be shared! Thanks for a great dinning experience. A special thank you to Kensie, you were awesome! ❤️“

“We come to this restaurant often when we are in Pa camping. We love their Crab Bisque and shrimp special that is served on Thursday's. It's really good! Going tonight to try their pot pie. Great place to check out when in the area.“

“Ordered fish sandwiches for takeout tonight, paid over the phone and they brought the sandwiches out to the car. They were absolutely delicious!!! We go here at least once a week and are never disappointed.“

“Delicious meal (Crab cakes are so good) and so was the cheeseburger slider with upgrade of salad - so fresh and big enough for 2 to share. good selection of fun drinks and beers and very good service. Carmen our server was so helpful and worked hard caring for us and even saw her watering the lovely garden outside. The outdoor dining area is pretty and inviting but was too hot outdoors for us last night. Next time we go we will sit in the outdoor garden for dinner.“

“I used to go to JJJ regularly when I lived in Lancaster. I moved to Delaware in 2020, and this was my first time back to JJJ since then - and it was as good as I remember, perhaps even better! I love the atmosphere in the bar (although the drink pours could stand to be a little heavier). Our server, Bill, was excellent. He took a lot of time to review the menu and share more details about some of the dishes, and he made some great recommendations. His service was very attentive and the food was outstanding. It came out piping hot and was presented beautifully. Bill offered dessert, but we were stuffed!“

“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“

“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.“

“Food is always great. fast and friendly staff. we always have a great experience at this diner.“

“Consistently great food.“

“Small but great pretzel place!! I got a pizza pretzel which was a hefty croissant shaped pretzel STUFFED with pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce. It was soooo good and hearty. I got it on a whim and greatly enjoyed it. I also got a regular salted pretzel that was very good, nice chewy and doughy! I highly recommend a stop in if you like pretzels.“

“The Honeysuckle Fizz was kicking, the Smoked Sausage and Pierogies, and Pastrami Burger were so tasty and on point! Love the atmosphere there despite COVID keeping the distance between tables.“

“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.“

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

“Such an awesome place!! We 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.“

“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.“

“Each year, for a time span of 57 years, three of us couples celebrate our wedding anniversary together by selecting a different fine dining restaurant for a celebratory dinner. We have selected restaurants within a 60 mile radius of Lititz.. Last evening we chose Blackworth Live Fire Grille which was among one of the best restaurant selections we've made during the 57 years of keeping this tradition. Thank You. Chef Max and your staff for the great experience!!!!“
