50 Best American Restaurants near East Petersburg

“Wonderful Sunday lunch, delicious bowl of chili ahead of the best chicken croquettes I ever had, all at a very reasonable price.“

“Outstanding flavor and very tender. Will order again..!! Bone in half ham.“

“I can’t say enough about the customer service, I came in to pick up a take out order and it wasn’t ready. After waiting a little bit the front desk went to check on it and said they were a little bit behind which ok it was busy and prime dinner time on a Friday. Not long after another employee came out to tell me they’re so sorry that the kitchen is behind and offered me a free drink of my choice, I passed it up and instead they gave me two growlers to go, mind you I was ok with waiting on my food I wasn’t complaining just waiting patiently. It was like 15min past the time they gave me ok, no biggie. When I finally got home to eat all the food was amazing and hot. In today’s world this really means a-lot, I love supporting local!! Great job Mad Chef!“

“One of the best places for ice cream around! We really miss the Strasburg location, but don't mind driving to East Pete for your amazing ice cream!“

“What a wonderful evening. The food was amazing, the drinks were creative and the cabaret night was so fun! Highly recommend for an elevated dining experience.“

“We loved Passerine! The branzino was fabulous! The ribeyes were perfect! Loved the mushroom soup and pate! And the specialty cocktails were full size and delicious. It was a great night with friends!“

“thank you to the staff and especially to Olivia who made our anniversary last night so special 100% recommend we will definitely be back“

“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.“

“We visited Bullies Saturday evening, 4/9. For starters I had the mussels. Absolutely delicious. I'd go back just for them. My wife had bacon wrapped scallops. They were really good, also. For entrees I had the Kona tenderloin steak. It was perfectly cooked and fork tender. My only issue, it came out barely luke warm. Same for my French fries. I'd call them cold. The roasted brussel sprouts, which I was really anticipating, were tasty, but all but burned and only luke warm. Though I should have said something to the server, I didn't. My bad. My wife's meal, beef tenderloin tips, were perfectly cooked, hot and fork tender, with mushroom and onion gravy. They were on a bed of rice. Dessert was creme brulee and NY cheesecake. Both were very good. I was disappointed with the cheesecake slice, being about half the size of what I consider a normal sized slice. All in all, a tasty meal. I'd return, but in the future insist on a HOT meal, not luke warm.“

“Booked Harvest for our rehearsal dinner and were extremely happy with our experience. Specifically went with them because of their commitment to local ingredients and plethora of plant-based options. Seasonal menu options were delicious and staff was excellent. We booked on an extremely busy evening that also included another rehearsal dinner - we still felt like the center of attention and food portion sizes were healthy and consistent. Great communication by event coordinators, Tori and Jenn. Made the booking so easy and seamless.“

“We had dinner with some friends!! Three of us got the pork chop and it was wonderful! Another friend had the Beef Wellington and she said it was delicious! Everyone was kind and serving to us.“

“The food is to die for, you cannot pick a wrong item! We got the crab dip appetizer, pulled pork entree, crab cake sandwich and the kid's mini dog with fries. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the apples and cinnamon as a side! The staff is helpful and attentive from the host all the way to the waitress and managers. I've never been to a restaurant where the service is so great! We will definitely be a return customer 😊 Side note: The restaurant is extremely kid friendly and accommodating. They have high chairs and tables with enough room to fit the high chair or a stroller while still having enough room for everyone else.“

“First visit and was impressed“

“Get the crab soup. Amazing. All of us love our dinners. Fish and chips was awesome. Lime cilantro pizza was very tasty with lots of flavors. Crab cakes were very good though a bit on the small side. And the apricot bourbon salmon was scrumptious. Our server was engaging, knowledgeable, and efficient. The creme brulee and the lemon raspberry cake were fantastic! Only downside was the noise level. They could lower it with a few acoustic tiles.“

“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 -“

“Great breakfasts, soups, and sandwiches. Sending prayers to the Udder Choice family“

“awesome food friendly waiter. very friendly“

“we just had lunch it was awesome highly recommend the black diamond steak it was excellent and service was great thanks jade“

“One of Lancaster County's greatest hidden treasures is the White Swan Restaurant in Rothsville, PA. If you like great food, great service and an uplifting atmosphere , this is the place for you. Drew, the owner/chef who runs things, does an incredible job and he has helped make the establishment as close to the TV show Cheers, as possible. His family all chip in to make it a gem of the county. I have frequented the Swan many times over the years and have been a regular at their Thursday night trivia for the past 14 years. Chelsea takes care of the bar and is fantastic and Elena and Shannon take care of the waitress duties during trivia night. They are the best!!! And Mike D brings his infectious charm as host of trivia. So if you want good food, reasonable pricing and just a great place to hang out, the White Swan is the place for you. You will not be disappointed!!“

“We had an excellent experience at Lancaster Brewing. We haven’t been there for a few years because we live several hours away, but went out of our way to go today and it was even better than we remembered. Lindsey was our server and was so incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was quick and high quality, and we were very impressed with the craft cocktails. We will look forward to the next time we can enjoy a meal here!“

“very nice place- don’t get too intoxicated as there are plenty of tight steps to endure on the way out :) Most servers we have enjoyed being around has made visits superb however we’ve heard (1)? with some negative issues in life literally crying at the bar, which presents a downer for customers. finally, the happy & overall pleasant staff, happy blond mgr included, we have heard bar patrons gossip after customers leave- & some tenders joining in- & wonder if, this takes place, after we leave…“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

“The food was Fantastic!! Husband & I came in for our 26th wedding anniversary dinner!! Great service as well❤️“

“Had our last 2 high school reunions here.“

“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.“

“I love everything about Fox Meadows. The lunch, salads, soups and burgers are my favorite! Of course the ice cream is delicious and their chocolate chip cookies are the best!“

“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.“

“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“

“Hello and good afternoon!! I was just in and ordered and picked up a Cheese pizza and a Pepperoni pizza.

“Consistently great food.“

“We stopped in at the Red Pin Bar & Grill for a Friday evening date night, and it turned out to be a great choice. RPBG offers a complimentary appetizer of pretzel bites with honey mustard for every table, which was a nice touch to start the evening.
I ordered their signature chili with cheese, and it was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. Easily one of the best bowls of chili I’ve had. My wife went with the chicken quesadillas and said they were very enjoyable.
Our server was friendly and attentive. Even though she was clearly busy, she made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and a local band playing in the background added to the overall vibe.
Overall, we had a great experience at RPBG and are already planning to return soon.“

“For what it is, it was pretty good. Five guy like fries, my kids liked the pizza burger and hot dog, I enjoyed my fried chicken sandwich and it was inexpensive. The guy answered all questions, stern but straightforward and made the transaction easier. I would get food from there again.“

“Had a great dinner with friends and family. The location was not the greatest. It was rough to find parking. Other than the parking we had a fantastic time. The service was fantastic, all meals came out at the same time and were fantastically presented. I would definitely dine here again.“

“Best Burgers in town and bottomless fries. You cannot go wrong at the fixins bar. When I think of burgers I think of Fuddruckers“

“Spring/summer/early fall Friday night live band nights are always fun. Recently discovered the Birds Nest Deck to watch the Eagles games and I won’t watch them anywhere else now. I believe there has been a change of ownership since the past (2021) and I definitely think they are moving in the right direction.“

“Wonderful experience. The food always so satisfying with big tasty portions. Service over there is very warm and friendly. Greeting you with big smile and you leave with a warm feeling for the experience .“

“We stay there at least twice a year when we go to Events at Mount Hope Winery. The rooms are great and the resteraunt/bar never disappoints ( huge selection of seasonal beer/ cocktails) They even have a great selection of gluten free items at breakfast“

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

“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.“

“nice place to eat in family“

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

“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“

“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.“

“This was our first time today. We were tired of the same food/mini golf near our house and google suggested them! We were very impressed with the food & ice cream! We also played mini golf as well! We definitely will be back!“

“Had two sandwiches, the Reuben and a chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. Delish. Other restaurants could take lessons from them on how to make a Reuben. Where they fell short was with the overpriced drinks, Autumn rum runner and a martini. The martini came with a 2" square ice cube and not much drink. They need to take lessons from Penn's Tavern Restaurant on how to make a rum runner. No one has beat theirs yet.“

“First time visit for lunch today. This place is OUTSTANDING in every category! I got the turkey club and my wife got the grilled chicken salad. Both were delicious! We saved room for dessert and got a grilled peach muffin and coffee. KILLER! Very friendly staff, and exceptionally clean throughout. Can’t wait to go back and try breakfast.“

“I held a private luncheon on a Saturday afternoon for 30 people. Mick responded promptly when I made an online inquiry. The room and food were prepared to perfection. The service was excellent, the room and tables were clean, and the food was delicious. It was nice to have the outdoor area for the little kids to get a break and play. We had reserved the room for two hours, and some guests were slow to leave. The staff was patient and did not rush us out the door. I highly recommend Mick’s in Willow Street.“
