“My wife and I have eaten at Gibraltar many times and have always been impressed with the food and service. Last night my wife's fish entree was somewhat over-cooked (something we have never experienced at Gibraltar) and when she shared this information with the waiter, he immediately offered my wife another meal. Then the owner came out and apologized for any inconvenience. I am impressed with the level of customer service and they exceeded our expectations.“

“I've only been once, but I tell everyone I know about it. Not only did the food look high quality, it matched in flavor & execution! Cozy & cute, top notch food, & great service! I think about the mouth watering omelette I had ALL THE TIME! I strive to make it out for another great experience soon enough! ❤️“

“This is a small spot on the intersection of Prince Street and West Liberty. I love how they keep their menu simple with your burgers, chicken, cheesesteaks and shakes. It may be simple but they do a fantastic job with their product. Their cheeseburgers are a must grab. You know it’s a good burger when the outer edges have that slight crispiness. Honestly, one of the better burgers in the entire area. I also really enjoyed the onion rings. Nice and crispy, and the onion doesn’t all come out with a single bite. It was also packed, so you know it’s a good spot for some easy grub.“

“Our group loved sitting in the sun room. Most popular entrees were Steak Skewer Wedge salads, Jamaican Jerk Salmon, Spicy Shrimp Noodle Bowl and Cedar-Roasted Salmon. A little disappointed with Grilled Peruvian-Style Half Chicken. Enjoyed the Thai Beef Skewers, and Caputo Brother's Whipped Ricotta appetizer. Group did not care for the shredded Chicken in Peruvian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Overall we had a great dining experience and we all agreed we would return.“

“Cute and poppin' at brunch on a Saturday. Tables were all reserved but there was room at the spacious bar. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. Food was delicious ? and drinks were a delight to look at and tasted great as well! Will definitely “

“Dined while in town attending a "Sight and Sounds" program. The service was awesome, Natalie was outstanding, she was on top of everything for our party. Food was outstanding as was the atmosphere. Beautiful property, well manicured inside and out. Would definitely return again in the future when back in the Lancaster area.“

“I had a wonderful solo experience here at the bar! Food was excellent, the wine was delicious and the staff was super friendly and engaging. I had a lovely conversation with a woman I met at the bar who turned out to be the chef’s girlfriend and got to meet him too. Such a lovely couple and his skills in the kitchen are amazing! I have come here for brunch as well and no matter what you order you will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!“

“We called ahead since we had a party of 8. Reservations were easy. Food was good and hot! Servers were on top of keeping drinks filled. Overall very good. Only negative was there was a hair in the butter. Staff took care of it right away and apologized.“

“Head manager we love your establishment but seriously experienced the worst service! We waited over a half an hour for our food to find after I ask for them to check on our food that they burnt my wife’s steak and made her another one my meal when brought out must of been reheated twice and burnt!!!! So disgusting! Why would a manager send food out looking that bad???? We will have to find another steak house that cares about their customers“

“We absolutely love this place. The food is fantastic, very flavorful. I do wish they would bring back the roasted peppers. Wish they would try salmon sushi tots along with their tuna tots. Love their wait staff, they provide excellent service. The ambiance is nice, you can overlook the golf course, sit out on the deck or stay inside at the bar or tables.“

“*Edit* The burgers and ice cream were delicious. My daughter loved the Cookie Monster ice cream.No indoor seating still. They just use the inside for storage. When asked they said they closed down for COVID and just haven’t opened yet… it’s 2023. It was over 100° and with babies in tow it made for a very unpleasant experience.“

“Excellent restaurant. The staff is very welcoming and makes you feel at home. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. This restaurant is in a strip mall so there's plenty of free parking. I meet a friend here once a month for lunch and am happy to be a "regular".“

“My mom & I just picked up breakfast takeout for us & my grandma and just WOW!!! We loved absolutely everything we ordered! The biscuits are delicious & filling, the portions for the price are amazing and I had the best chocolate chip pancake I think I ever had in my life! The pancakes are big & fluffy. The side of meat was two pieces of scrapple which was wonderful as with most places you only get one piece. The toast was pre buttered & yummy. I just can't say enough good things, I am just happy that this place is so close to us & that we were able to get takeout before they closed at noon. Waiting for our food bags we enjoyed taking in all of the diner decor, the place is so adorable & hasn't changed since I was a little kid, I just regret not coming back sooner. Will definitely make a point to dine in often. The atmosphere is awesome & the tiny place gets packed but there is plenty of parking! They know how to cook good breakfast & with it being my fave meal of the day, I was more than satisfied.“

“Heard about this speakeasy-style bar and decided to go for cocktails before dinner. It was a short walk from our hotel. The door isn't really obvious at first, but we were able to find it from the descriptions. The bar wasn't busy thankfully, and we were warmly greeted. We loved the unique drink menu, and the bar itself is sophisticated and classy. The bartenders are knowledgeable and even gave us dinner recommendations. I loved the refreshing gin drink I had served in a beautiful bird glass. We also loved the pulled pork sliders as a delicious appetizer. We'll be back!“

“Great friendlys location in Lancaster,PA! I have been here several times mostly for takeout, and the service is extremely fast and the food is always cooked just right! I am always greeted upon opening the door and I’m in and out quickly. Couldn’t ask for a better takeout experience! And the parking lot was full outside and my food was still prepared speedy! I will be back!“

“The portions are extra ordinarily generous! I would say 3 TIMES Greater than anything at APPLEBEE'S. Maddy my server is very kind hearted, beautiful, and even put 3 cherries? on top of my whipped cream tapioca!Shown is half my order I'm taking out.Bill Ross, President & CEO of Safe Instruction, LLC.“

“This is a great little cafe. It has a lot of character and charm. The seating on the lower level is cozy. The coffee is strong and good. The food and service was excellent. We especially LOVED their toast-- the multigrain bread is a good enough reason to go!“

“We came here for our honeymoon! After traveling from Philly, we stopped in Lancaster and asked a local what food they recommend. This was their first pick and they did not disappoint! It looks small, but there is a lot of space inside! It was packed but still had loads of seats to choose from so we could sit around people or find somewhere secluded. There were so many families, it warmed my heart. Our server, Jordan, had great energy, was fast with refills and had so many great recommendations. Our food was hot, fresh, and legitimately the best food we have had in the entire honeymoon. I had the French onion panini and my husband had the crab cakes, and we split some onion rings with spicy crab soup. It blew us away, and they were just the sweetest group ever! If I settled here I know I would end up being one of those couples there every Saturday night because it is worth it!“

“We had a lovely time here. Our server was so knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I'm not sure what his name is, but it turns out he went to wine school, and wow, I'm glad I took his recommendations! The red they had from Caymus went perfectly with dinner! My ribeye came out a little too underdone for my liking, so he took it back right away, and the GM brought it back out and made sure it was just right! Highly recommend anything on their menu, the ribs, ribeye, and Mac and cheese were particularly good tonight though.“

“We had amazing experience here! Jennifer, our waitress was funny, kind and attentive! This would have made our meal... BUT, the food was exceptional. My husband and I had duck, which we only eat out since I can't find to grill at home. However, on the Jersey Shore duck dishes now range from $42-$52. Our dinners were ONLY $25 and even better than our best restaurants. The house salad with balsamic was out of this world! I've never tasted such savory dressing. And dessert(s), apple pie and lemon sorbet... DOUBLY DELICIOUS! Oh! And a great bottle of Cab for $40! There are many great places to eat in Lancaster. However, this experience was truly memorable. Thanks for a great night, you made our weekend. Keep up the great work.“

“Whether you are local or visiting Lancaster, you cannot miss this place. Food is professional chef level with local freshness and flavor. Tim and everyone at the bar are knowledgeable - you can confidently order something obscure like an Alaska or Aviation and it's guaranteed delicious. Live music often, friendly service. A wide selection of whiskey and unique amaros, liqueurs etc.“

“We really enjoyed this place!! Great food, the waiter was friendly, and cute place overall.There are food options for everyone - from simple American breakfast foods to unique Korean dishes. I got the bitbop dish, and it was delicious and a good portion! My husband got fried rice and really enjoyed it. The meat is very sauteed!Great place and we'll definitely come back.Vegetarian options: Most foods have an option for vegetarianParking: Downtown Lancaster parking can be hard. I think there's a free parking lot in the back though.Kid-friendliness: Good for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“Whenever we're in town for AAU games at spookynook, we make sure we stop in for dinner. It's a no brainer! The staff is cool/chill ?, very pleasant. The food is great.... prices are fantastic. I love the tuna tacos. I met one of the owners, she was so cool. It was refreshing to see an owner mix it up with customers. For watching sports...there are no bad TV angles. That was definitely well thought out. If you want a great experience and great food, REALLY good drinks ??Go there!!! Forget any other restaurant. They're the real deal.“

“Went for breakfast and was seated right away. The hostess told us it would be about 15 minutes for us since she HD a large group in the bckroom. However, she would get us drinks. We were not in a hurry, and we were served great hot food quickly after we ordered.“

“Went for a late breakfast with my boyfriend. I had the crepes and they were delicious. Unfortunately it looked like a tornado hit the restaurant when we walked in. They sat us at a "clean" table that had crumbs all over the chairs and food/ a dirty fork under the table. Looks like they could just use some extra help.“

“We had amazing experience here! Joanna, our waitress was funny, kind and so attentive! This would have made our meal… BUT, the food here was exceptional. My husband and I came at the suggestion of an inn keeper as we were in town for a show. I sheepishly told her that we don’t drink beer, only wine. So… we order a lamb burger and a fish & chips sandwich with…wine! And what a meal it was!!!! This place could teach the Jersey Shore a few things about a phenomenal culinary experience at a brewery! Look, there are many great places to eat in Lancaster. However, this experience was truly memorable. Thanks for an amazing lunch, you made our afternoon before went to the show. Definitely going back. Keep up the great work!“

“I could've sworn I've done this but apparently not. PJs has become one of my favorite restaurants making me wish there was one in Schuylkill County years ago when I use to live there. Foods always delicious and they have great monthly and seasonal specials.Parking: The lots shared with other restaurants but I've always found a spot“

“Stopped here on our way home from picking up a piece of furniture locally built. Decor was cute. Our server was young and friendly. I ordered the spinach salad with grilled mushrooms grilled salmon, hold the bacon. House dressing was the only one homemade and they were out. It was ok because the salad didn't need much dressing and the salmon was surprisingly delicious and cooked just right (little underdone in center, how I love it), also seasoned well. Husband had the shrimp corn chowder which was delicious, and a chicken sandwich he enjoyed. I was disappointed in the coffee though. Usually coffee in these kind of places is excellent. This coffee was lacking in flavor. Also not many vegetarian options.“

“A wonderful farm to table option. The cocktails are delicious - creative and tasty. The locally sourced foods are well prepared. The plates have rich flavors - the duck was particularly good. The multiple rooms are comfortable with good acoustics. The service is helpful and attentive. There is a 3.8% service charge if you pay with a credit card.“

“I’ve stopped in Decades several times over the last couple years while back home visiting family and it hasn’t disappointed yet.I mainly go for the fact that there is always more than one vegetarian/vegan option (that isn’t just a salad) and the kitchen is open later than 9pm (10pm is my average dinner time and that’s hard for Lancaster to accommodate, especially for a vegan). The service has always been top notch; very friendly, speedy and accommodating bartenders.I haven’t bowled yet but there’s a great selection of arcade games. Please protect that DDR machine forever.“

“seriously I wish could give more stars! 5 is not enough! love this place. I am a regular and they treat me like a ViP. but that aside. The staff will do anything to make you say wow. I ordered a drink that I normally don't order. Perfect do not underestimate this place!!! Great Food and fantastic service!!“

With about 50 spaces.Kid-friendliness: Separate areas for dining kid friendly area and bar restaurant area also outdoor deck area.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“A hidden gem. My office decided to grab lunch to go from The Grille. We ordered subs, sweet potato and waffle fries as well as somesalads! This was my first time ordering from here and I will definitely order again. I had the Caprese style salad with grilled chicken! It was so fresh and seasoned so well. I can't wait to go back and, try it again!“

“I always have a good experience at this Chili's. I love the hamburgers. My family always enjoys their dinner. I recently took my in-laws and they also had a good experienceThe servers are always prompt with service, The food is always out in an acceptable amount of time.Parking: There is a parking lot surrounding Chili's. There are usually only one or two spots available. There is always a wait, sometimes we have time to wait sometimes we have to leave because it's over 30 minutes.“

“Good prices! I ordered on uber eats and my driver picked up the wrong food, called the place and they went out of their way to remake my order and delivered it to me even though I'm out of the way of their route! We come here alot and will continue because of the quality of service :)“

“Our hotel suggested we try Brasserie for dinner, and we are glad we took their suggestion! The food was very good, the best tomato soup I have ever had. My husband had the prime rib , and he said it was really good. The Pinot noir by the glass was good, too. A good place to go.“

“The best food I have ever had here, well prepared and good service, I always love their service (feminine)The best food I have ever had here, well prepared and good service, I always love their service (masculine)Vegetarian options: Very good“

“One of the coolest restaurants I’ve been to in a while. Would have been a total vibe but our waiter very obviously didn’t want to be at work. He rushed us through. No fault to the restaurant. Will def be going back. The food was delish. Get the Brussel Sprout appetizer, you won’t be sorry.“

“This place is super cute! Family owned and operated. The owner took time to tell us about the area and gave us ideas of where to take our kids. Also kid's meals come with cardboard Cadillac box and ice cream! Definitely glad we picked this one over route 66 diner, because parking was simple! Thank y'all for your hospitality. May the Lord bless you ?“

“First time in. Popped in before a concert. Food was absolutely delicious! We got the pretzel to start. I got the black bean burger with sweet potato fries and a cosmo. My hubby got the lamb burger and a flight of beer. Everything was sooo good! Will definitely come back!“

“I am absolutely impressed with this place. I’m currently pregnant and really struggling to find things that I enjoy to eat. Meat has been one of the things that I’ve been struggling with. I saw the balsamic glaze chicken on the menu and decided to ask the waiter if it was good and to describe to me what it tasted like since I worried about it being dry and me possibly wasting my money. The waiter mentioned my situation to the chef, Nestor, and the chef proceeded to come out, and asked me exactly how I would like it. He made a glaze and came out with it to let me try it which shocked me. It tasted AMAZING!!!! When they brought out my meal, it was the most I’ve enjoyed meat in weeks, it was so tender and full of flavor!! Thank you Nestor for you’re attention to detail. I will be telling everyone about this place (:“

“This was our first time dining at Lancaster Dispensing Company. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was great, and the food was wonderful. The menu is large and varied. Everyone of our party of four was happy. We had appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Had our family there for a gathering about 3 weeks ago and had a great time. The food was delicious! The potatoe soup was out of the world! It was so delicious my mother in law had one there and then ordered one to take home for the next day. We will definitely be coming back! Wonderful place for food and the staff is wonderful as well too.“

“just stopped in on a whim... was craving a burger. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss... it was the best burger I have had in a long time. the staff was very attentive... several servers checked on me during my meal. The owner himself came over to make sure I was satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place!!!“

“Amazing food, very flavorful. The drinks are strong and delicious. The service was quick, with attentive staff. The restaurant is quite visually appealing. It is however quite loud and can make conversation a little bit difficult.Kid-friendliness: Would not bring my children here.“

“We hadn't been back to ABG since before 2020... we were hoping it was the same as before and we were not disappointed! Our food was excellent... my burger was cooked perfectly to medium... my husbands wings (mango habanero) were sweet and spicy... just as he had remembered. It was Yuengling night so that was a plus! Our server was attentive and awesome. This is our favorite pub.. it's quirky and unique ... and the food and service are always amazing!!! So many places have gone downhill, unfortunately, since Covid... but this place is still top notch!“

“A great hidden gem if you're looking for some great fried chicken or a burger and fries. It's a lunch counter, but there are a few tables. Some of the best fried chicken I've had, and really friendly service. Glad I found this place close to the nursing home I visit often.“

“Was in town and a friend told me to try their special wings called Charlie. Hot sauce mixed with garlic parmesan. Wing we're fried great, mixture of hot and parm. Thought they were going to be hotter but I guess the parm took from the spice. Over price and drinks were great“

“Looooooved this visit!! Great food, fast and very friendly service all around!!! Drinks were strong....looking for a date night?
