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.“

“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!“

“I'm a transplant from central PA to Oklahoma. I make periodic online orders for some of the items I can't easily get locally such as scrapple, Cooper cheese, and dried beef. Everything is great and order shipping is fast and cold on arrival. I'm quite pleased to have this resource.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Perfect place to get out in this great weather for fun and food Love the new owners too“

“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.“

“Juliana F. was the best server we’ve had! She was so friendly, fun, and incredibly efficient. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter felt comfortable and had no anxiety about her food allergies. The food was amazing too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place is very nice, but the mac n cheese should be avoided. Portion was smaller than anticipated and the flavor was very bland. Also not a fan of the corn that was added in there. Apps were great, drinks were great, just should've avoided the Mac n cheese.“

“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!“

“First visit and was impressed“

“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! ❤️“

“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 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. “

“We had the best experience! The food was delicious & the service was fantastic. Next time we are in the area we're coming back!“

“awesome food friendly waiter. very friendly“

“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…“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Had a nice lunch with the girls! Our server Bri was friendly and prompt! Enjoyed the toys!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Certainly recommend this place. First time here, definitely coming again!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“yes the America staple the best i love this place“

“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 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!“

“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!!!!“

“Hello and good afternoon!! I was just in and ordered and picked up a Cheese pizza and a Pepperoni pizza. A friend of mine of many years said it’s the best in the area, my wife and I just moved back from Florida and they don’t make very pizza down there.😊 Anyway, your pizza is AWESOME, TASTY and just very very delicious and great!!!! Great crust, love the sauce, curled up pepperoni!!!

“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.“

“Consistently great food.“

“What a hidden treasure !!! Best diner in Lancaster County!! Their rye toast , home fries , ham are incredible! Everything we had was home made and absolutely delicious!“
