New American Restaurants near East Petersburg, PA

“Didn't want to cook this evening. Mad Chef was the perfect choice. Excellent drafts tonight including the Pizza Party Italian pilsner, the You Sherbet That fruited sour and the Juice Caboose hazy New England IPA. The food included the Philly Special Pizza and a Pineapple Bourbon Chicken Sandwich special.There was about a 30 minute wait for a table, but given the quality of the food the weight was well worth it.At Mad Chef (similar to many breweries) you need to order both brews and food at the cashier desk, but the food is delivered to the table.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“My husband and I had the best time! The food and drinks were perfect, the service was awesome and I loved hearing the regulars all just chatting away. I was having a rough day and this made me leave feeling so happy ☺️ our new go to place!❤️ thank you guys!“

“The food is just amazing. They deserve a Michelin star. The service fantastic. Edwin was great, knowledgeable and very good professional. The place is very interesting because of the history they have. It was noisy because we had a big table close by and they were having fun. One of the best restaurants I ever went.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 (:“

“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.“

“I love the soup and salad bar. I also love the onions and liver entree. Breakfast you can't beat the Avocado toast. Coffee is great too. Amazing staff!!Parking: Located right at the buildingKid-friendliness: Kid menuWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking spots, plenty of room in building for handicap people.“

“Food was meh. It seems like a good concept, but nothing was tasty. I'm not a picky eater, but my mother and I didn't like either of our dishes. We even tried each other's. She recommended it because she said her and my father loved it, but after this time she said she won't be back. The employees were very friendly, but completely overwhelmed. I get that places are struggling to hire people, but the place was filthy. I felt for the 4 employees trying to get through the lunch rush.“

“This is a restaurant worth checking out. It has an inviting, casual atmosphere with great menu choices and fabulous weekend specials. I recommend trying one of their homemade soups, the lava cake, or their awesome firecracker shrimp. Their wings are great too!Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free and vegan options.Kid-friendliness: They offer a children’s menu. The kids get to keep the crazy straw that comes with the beverage.“

“I’ve gotten their ribeye special the last few weeks and I say this with no reservation. The only place I’ve had a better steak is at 401 Prime, except this steak is at a fraction of the price. Whoever is cooking the steak at 551 west is doing a phenomenal job. If they have a ribeye special I will be here eating a delicious perfectly cooked medium rare steak.“

“The food is well prepared. The decor is par for the area. The live indoor plants kick it up a notch. Service is always on point. The ladies here are attentive and friendly. Breakfast is definitely their strong suit.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome any hour of the day. I never feel uncomfortable bringing my two boys.“

“This place is a hidden gem, great convenient frozen meals that take the prepping, dishes, and time wasted cooking out of eating clean. The people are super nice and everything I have had has been great, and it’s surprisingly affordable compared to the price of groceries and time spent cooking.“

“Really good food from this place. Pizza is always tasty and they give you giant jalapeño poppers instead of the tiny ones most restaurants use. I usually get delivery through grubgub but calling in your order I think is best. Had a delivery snafu recently that customer service fell well below expectations, but the managing partner Grant called me and fixed everything, which was greatly appreciated.“

“I'm from north jersey and we come to Lancaster once a year. We came here on a limb because we couldn't find something that wasn't a chain that was open for lunch besides pubs. When we walked inside and it was completely empty so we were a little skeptical but decided to try it anyways and we are extremely glad we did. This was such a delicious meal. The food was cooked with so much flavor and was super tasty. They also were out of the large pitas and instead gave me two which were much bigger than expected with no added charge. The waitress was very nice and we sat outside on the patio which is lovely. We will definitely be back!“

“My wings were amazing highly recommend the root beer glaze wings. My ziti was salty and the jambalaya was over seasoned. But BERTO WAS AN AMAZING SERVER!!! he’s so kind and professional and on point with the menu. Conner was a sweet heart as well and funny.“

“The brisket was delicious. And the turkey sandwich was just a tad below delicious, but still good. I would've given it 5 stars if the host didn't give an attitude when we had more people trickling into the restaurant. See my son's soccer team was in the middle of 2 tournament soccer games, so we weren't sure of our party size. And they did keep coming in so combining tables ruffled the host's feathers and tried to limit us. The waitress was fantastic however.“

“The food is always excellent. We had the croissants for an appetizer and they were outstanding. It was a very busy night, but I felt our waiter. Did a good job of being attentive. If I have one complaint it is that someone has taken the Mediterranean wrap off the menu. It was my very favorite and I miss it very much because it's delicious and a healthy meal. I wish it would be put back on the menu. I would be extremely grateful.“
