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

“Delicious food and great service! We have been coming to Country Meadows for many years! Love everything about this restaurant!“

“I and a group of friends ate lunch on 1/3. The food was great and our server Kelly was very attentive and personable.“

“This place is so underrated. I don't get it, the parking lot is practically empty all the time but this place is legit the best restaurant in the area. The food is always unique, the draft beer selection is second to none in this town (have to go to Lancaster city or Harrisburg to compete with this). Music selection is good, servers are chill... I don't get why this place isn't packed. If u pass thru Etown u need to go to the Black Gryphon.“

“I try and go there every Friday for breakfast after I pick flowers. The breakfast is perfect . My western omelette with home fries toast and a side of bacon is always done to perfection . The ice tea is really good . The staff is so friendly .. Have been there for lunch and dinner also. So yummy !!“

“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!!!“

“I stop here at least once a week. Their beverages are wonderful...sandwiches aren't bad either. Their soups on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. I had the veggie last week...it was so peppery that I couldn't eat it...I had the Italian Wedding soup this week...that was just a downright disgrace! The broth was so salty and I have never had or made Italian wedding soup with sausage meatballs...there wasn't any chicken to be found and carrots, spinach and orzo were nonexistent. The broth was so dark at first I thought they made a mistake. Lesson learned...next time I want Italian Wedding soup I will make my own.“

“we dropping in and tried 2 dinner entrees, chicken parm and meat lasagna. They each came with nice salads - not just lots of lettuce, and garlic bread. Portions were big - spaghetti amount was excessive - enough for 2-3 people. Chicken parm was cutlet, not chicken finger like some restaurants. We were very pleased with our meals. Normally, we got pizzas.“

“It’s been a long time since I can give a raving review on a local restaurant. The Mill did not disappoint. It was clean the drinks were strong and the food was delicious. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a great dining experience!“

“Waitress Tiffany was very nice along with the cook! Cute place to grab a bit to eat❤️ Keep up the good work!“

“Went for our Anniversary dinner this evening, the new GM was so kind and welcoming, our server was attentive and friendly! We both got the 8oz filet mignon which came with two sides, it was like cutting butter it was so tender! Definitely the best steak I’ve ever had!!! We got our dessert “Dave’s Cake” which is our fav chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and it came topped with Reese’s pieces….again YUM 🤤 DEFINITELY 💯 a wonderful experience!!!“

“my wife and I stopped there for lunch on sunday. It was very busy as usual. we always order the same thing because we know it will be very good. but that Sunday, we received our food and we were disappointed of the size of the of everything. it seemed like something off the kids menu.“

“The hotel manager at Hampton Inn recommended "What IF" for dinner. He was spot on. Excellent service and our table just off the end of the bar provided a quiet place to enjoy an excellent meal.“

“Great food and good service! Very accommodating with our 1yo. They brought out his applesauce and mac n cheese before our meals so he could eat first. Steak was juicy and tender.“

“Amazing All American Burger full of flavor and highly recommend the bacon add on!“

“After a long day at HP. We stopped for some grub and we were filled up with some tasty foods! The service was amazing as well! We will be back.“

“I’ve been a HUGE fan of I&E for a while (their soups are INCREDIBLE) but now I have to eat Gluten Free. Today was my first time having their GF Grilled Cheese and it was AMAZING!!! I’m so excited to still be able to eat at my favorite lunch spot!“

“Be careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers, which can happen with any tavern along the river. About 10 days ago they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. That guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. It was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved. The owner needs to hire some beefy enforcement right now to keep a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere.“

“We wanted to thank you for accommodating the rehearsal dinner last night. The food, service, and room were perfect. We enjoyed everything. The groom and bride to be were very pleased with all of it. My husband and I will definitely be coming back in the future. (Over an hr away but worth the drive) We need to try the ice cream parlor too. Our server was wonderful. Again thank you for everything. Thanks Cindy Logan“

“The goat cheese & artichoke poppers were the first truly unique taste I have experienced in years. Our waitress Wendy was very thoughtful and proactive in helping my wife navigate the menu with her food allergies. The burger meat is a combination of brisket, chuck, and sirloin. I am a very picky burger eater and even grow my own grass fed grass finished meat so when I say their burger is amazing, their burger is AMAZING. 11/10, cannot recommend enough. We will be back!!“

“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. 🍽️“

“Thank you for the warm hospitality for getting pumpkin beer for me. It was well worth the drvie to come check out Patti and Dan's favorite place. Thanks I hope to be back again soon!“

“Good food and great service from a family who gives back to the community.“

“went there for dinner and it was a good choice. Great service and the food was really good .It was like eating a home cooked meal instead of dining out. I had the fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy and was very good. my fiance had the chopped steak and she wasn't disappointed. one grandaughter had the chicken tenders and fries and the other the Philly cheese steak. next time we are in hershey for vacation we will be coming back for sure .thank you for the great food and great service“

“Stopped in because Tröegs was way too crowded. Food was great, beer was even better and I can’t say enough about the service. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. I have never had better service! Crowd at the bar was great too. Highly recommend!“

“Burgers were top notch. Chicken tortellini soup was way too salty last week.“

“My neighbor took me here, it's my first time eating here. We had the potato skins with seafood, & I had the mini salad, crabcake & fries. There were so many items on the menu, I couldn't decide, especially after viewing the photos on Facebook. Our waitress was VERY busy, it took a little while for service, but worth the wait! Very nice atmosphere. I will be back to try something different.“
