“I am originally from Philly and finding a cheesesteak in Lancaster County has been impossible! I have come to the realization that adding pizza sauce to a cheesesteak is the norm. Adding pizza sauce makes it a Pizza cheesesteak and I am often looked at as crazy when I ask for Ketchup instead of Pizza sauce. I have to say that this Pizza place has hands down the best damn cheesesteaks in Lancaster County. The rolls are not homemade from Pizza dough and are actually soft and delicious. My only complaint would be they are a little light on the meat but that's not going to stop me from visiting again. The older lady at the counter was personable. She greeted everyone with a smile as they walked in the door and her service was spot on! If she was having a rough evening, it didn't show. If you are looking for a REAL cheesesteak, this is the place. Just tell them to hold off on the Pizza sauce!”

“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!!!!!”

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

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

“A+ food and friendly, thanks!”

“The food from CJ's is amazing, they have some of the best pizza in Ephrata and some of the best staff.”

“Everything I’ve had there is delish!”

“New ownership. Limited menu. Bring back the brisket platter.”

“I’ve visited the creamery at the farm and in their store. This is the best ice cream I’ve eaten!! I also had a pastry for breakfast. I think was called a rolled pastry or similar. It has several layers of ham and cheese inside a really tasty buttery pastry that looks like a French croissant. It was delicious!!”

“Had the pork shoulder steak.fork tender and delicious.My wife had stuffed chicken with provolone and bacon loved it Wonderful staff and owner.will definitely be back.”

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

“Very good salted pretzel. The bread itself was superb. I'd skip the garlic pretzel - it's just garlic powder, which is perfectly fine, but I tasted garlic for the rest of the day.”

“Stopped in today with a coworker. And we were amazed at how great the food was and the service was top notch. The Rueben was spectacular and my coworker had an amazing California cheeseburger. This place is definitely going to be one of my go to eatery's when I am in the area. Thanks for a great lunch.”

“Linden Coffee makes my taste buds happy! Seriously though, we stopped by one day on a trip to PA. We are from MD. In ordered a hazelnut cold brew, oh boy was it yummy. We came up to PA again and I made it a point to stop before we headed home. Again, they did not disappoint! This coffee is GOOD! I dance inside when I drink it. ❤️”

“Love the atomsphere, great food, excellent desserts and the cutest gift shop! One of my absolute favorite places to go!”

“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.”

“First here and was very happy to find this place. I come from Italy and I will for sure recommend this place. The food is awesome and so is the service. Friendly environment. Gracie!!”

“delicious food and family style dinning absolutely love it 🥰”

“won't order a pulled pork sandwich,go sick before I even finished the sandwich”

“Great location, beers were tasty and the vibe was right. Got lots of history on the building and town from the two ladies working behind the bar. Loved the pinball machines.”

“I’ve come here throughout my entire childhood. Whenever I would visit my parents as an adult, I’d stop by even just for an ice cream cone! Nowadays I enjoy taking my son and can’t wait for warmer days so we can take a stroll down to the Drive-In for some ice cream and fun!! Love seeing the ducks as well.”

“The ice cream is phenomenal, and absolute must stop. The staff are very polite, but sometimes it looks like they could use a bit of extra staff as the lines and wait can get a bit long. Children were having a lot of fun.”

“As always amazing the woopie pies where a hit at our friends party .. Thank you again”

“Stopped in A&J's Twisted Kitchen for lunch - the food was absolutely fantastic and the customer service was top notch. I enjoyed the twisted golden bbq sauce immensely and the pulled pork was so yummy. Highly recommend.”

“This is one of the best coffee roasters on the Main Line. I love tasting their new beans. I have a subscription and customer service is outstanding. A special shout-out to Julianne at customer service. She’s the best.”

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

“I give this dairy Queen a 4 out of 5 only because it doesn't offer got food like so many other DQ's I've seen. We do have plenty other day good joints to choose from in our area but i think it would be great to only have to make one stop for the meal with a yummy frozen dessert so many of us crave.”

“What an absolutely amazing dining experience. the food was phenomenal! We can not say enough good things about our waitress Roxanne! Not only did she go above an beyond to answer all about our questions about the menu, she made suggestions, was efficient, and most of all was friendly the entire time. She cared. Her job mattered. I am so truly impressed by her attention to detail and dedication to all of her tables as well as her boss! she was the only waitress with multiple parties and still made it the best experience! We will absolutely be back!”

“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.”
