New American Restaurants near Columbia, PA

“We stopped by on a busy Sunday, so we didn’t mind the wait. The service provided by Anya was outstanding! She was attentive and personable. Our 3 meals came out just as ordered and we were all pleased with lunch & dessert. Anya offered to take a photo of our group and welcomed us back to see her.“

“Amazing food! I got Tod’s hangover- double without the bacon jam. I have not had a burger this good in a while. I will be for sure coming back, and our waiter Matt A. was amazing! He brought such a great mood to the table and was so friendly.“

“Our son's wedding reception was held here, and it was our first time visiting. I was being a bit nosy about the basement when a gentleman who worked there noticed and kindly asked if we’d like to take a peek. Thank you again — that small gesture showed how much you care about your visitors’ experience. During the reception, a family with three young kids started to get a little bored. That same gentleman came out with a basket of brand-new Matchbox cars and gave each child one. Wow! What a thoughtful and above-and-beyond thing to do. You truly helped make their day — and ours — even brighter. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!“

“I have read all the reviews others have written and I agree whole heartedly with the great food, the wonderful friendly and family oriented atmosphere, and the extremely attentive service . I have been coming every week with my mentor and awesome friend to get caught up and to break bread together over the past year. The owners are so kind and friendly. I truly believe their mission there is to provide a wonderfully wholistic family dining experience that leaves the customer feeling cared for.“

“Food is amazing! Our waitress was kind and welcoming. The only issue (if you want to call it an issue) was we got parked in- but the lot was full when we left so it was totally understandable. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!“

“We just came back from dinner at Ferrarelli’s and everything was amazing!! You cannot go wrong with anything you order. Portion sizes are plenty (we all bought home plenty for lunches this week). You will not be disappointed! Service was also wonderful!“

“Excellent service. Our server was Billy. Great food.“

“About a year ago, I went to John Wright Restaurant for Sunday brunch with a group of friends. I didn’t know what to expect, but the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beautiful waterfront scenery and the stunning, rustic building. Inside, that old-world charm blends perfectly with an upscale dining vibe, giving the place a truly special and unique energy. The brunch was absolutely delicious—so many options, including my personal favorite, eggs Benedict. Fast forward to last night: I stopped in for happy hour with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar. It was surprisingly comfortable and not overcrowded at all. The two bartenders were fantastic—warm, funny, and attentive. And the cocktails… OH MY GOSH. Just try them. You’ll thank me later! We ordered the calamari and crab risotto small plates, and they were so good that we immediately ordered a second round of the exact same thing. From a relaxed Sunday brunch, to after-work apps and cocktails, to a special dinner out—John Wright Restaurant gets a solid 10/10 from me. 🍽️“

“We go a few times a month. Always good food. Always good service. Will be back. Thank you!“

“I used to go to Lucky Duck a lot and then stopped when they took salmon off their menu a few years ago. HOWEVER, my group decided they wanted to go to Lucky Duck and I agreed ... Very happy to discover that salmon is back ... and may have been for a while now ... I was happy to be seated in my formerly regular table ... service was great and the food was delicious!!!“

“Prices are fare, food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. our waiter was the best!“
