Restaurants in Ephrata

“The food from CJ's is amazing, they have some of the best pizza in Ephrata and some of the best staff.”

“Everything I’ve had there is delish!”

“We had our office lunch catered by 272 BBQ and it was a hit! The food was outstanding! We had plenty of pulled pork, mac and cheese and coleslaw to go around. I worked with Logan to make this happen. He was quick to respond with a quote and my questions. I highly recommend 272 BBQ!”

“A great,wonderful atmosphere”

“Went before the snowstorm and ordered 12 bone in chicken wings for takeout. Ordered Sweet Thai Chili and Boom Boom sauce flavored wings. They were hot, crispy, juicy large wings and delicious!! The best wings around!!!”

“This place is AMAZING!! I’m so happy they’re here in Ephrata!”

“Absolutely delicious food with well developed flavor. We've gotten take out five times so far, I believe. it's so good!”

“I’ve been coming to Cocalico Coffee Crafters for about a year and a half now—and I should have written this sooner. CCC is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place with the warmth of a hearth, and the heart to match. Their Haitian espresso is rich and flavorful, the food’s solid, and the baristas are friendly. The space is large, and they fill it with good energy. But what really sets this place apart is the people. When I was going through a rough patch, I spent countless hours tucked away in a corner writing. Not once did anyone bat an eye at whether I ordered one coffee or ten, whether I took my meals there or not. I always got the same welcoming smile, and authentically good energy from the staff and owners alike. Owned by two genuinely kind humans, Rachel and Scott Elliott, this shop has quietly become a place of refuge and community for folks around East Cocalico—and I’ll always be grateful for what it gave me when I needed it most. Be sure to check out their site for menus or event rental information—I've not been in attendance to any, but I've seen the care with which they prepare: They're who I'll talk to next time I need such a space.”

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza”

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

“No wait time, clean and friendly environment but best of all… amazing food!”

“Great atmosphere, great food, great beverages! perfect for the location! 10/10 recommend!”

“Best crepes around, as well as outstanding coffees and teas. Friendly, fast service, clean and homey atmosphere. Outstanding!”

“food is amazing prices are fair service is very good all around 5/5. I would definitely recommend to friends and family”

“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!”

“I give this dairy Queen a 4 out of 5 only because it doesn't offer got food like so many other DQ's I've seen. We do have plenty other day good joints to choose from in our area but i think it would be great to only have to make one stop for the meal with a yummy frozen dessert so many of us crave.”

“We tried to stop before, but they were closed (my fault I didn't check hours). We came back today and wow!! I'm glad we did!! We decided to try the adobada burrito and it did NOT disappoint. I asked about elote and huaraches. The super friendly little boy told me elote they usually do in summer, which makes sense. But his dad got some and they'll be having some for order tomorrow May 9, 2026. I will definitely be coming back!!!”

“Just had a cheese steak and his and had a cheeseburger sub. The cheese steak was amazing and hubs like the sub. Definitely recommend them for their sandwiches. The home made rolls are very soft!!”

“Love 💕 your food! Vince and all the employees are so kind and helpful!”

“We just ate here everything was delicious! I had a buffalo chicken cheese steak so huge and yummy my hubby got the Philly cheesesteak with WIZ and as a Philly girl born and raised I tried his with not high hopes cause in Lancaster county there has been nothing close to a Philly cheesesteak so I will tell you it’s darn close ! It was very good ! I will order one next time ! We got an order of fries which was big enough to share ! I couldn’t finish mine ! Owners are so friendly! Neat little place with great food ! See you soon The Pizza House !!”

“Fairly small, but it's a very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. They've got a solid selection of beers with a decent variety. A few canned cocktails (very tasty) as well. We also got their soft pretzel bites with beer cheese *super tasty!*
A really cute place with a fair amount of activities for the community during the week!”

“Friendly staff. Also if at all possible the owner will do special requests, I ordered a chicken cheese steak with broccoli and it was delicious.”

“Ate at La Promesa tonight for dinner . Food was excellent! Wife had a mangoes shake, I had strawberry. We both had chicken dinners. Very reasonably priced. Staff was excellent! We’ll be back!”

“Love this place and the owner. Top tier Hispanic food”

“Good beer, buffalo chicken Stromboli was amazing. Service was excellent!”

“Got a couple of cheeseburger hoagies for the family tonight, delicious! Friendly staff, tasty food, stop in. We love their pizza too. ?”

“The stuffed flounder was amazing.. all the sides you get also. the waitress was great!”

“Great food & Service 4 our Party of 23”

“Most Compassionate. 🌈🐾🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐶🦴🥩🥔🍖Heart of Gold staff.”

“just tried javateas for the first time this evening to try out the monthly coffee flight, the toy story one! service was great, sweet workers and quick with making our board ☺️ drinks were absolutely amazing, that salted caramel espresso is one of the best coffees i've had in a long time! i've lived in this area my whole life, can't believe i haven't been here sooner, will absolutely be back!”

“Good Subs! Fast service!”

“The service was fine and the food was very good. (we were a part of 10 with 4 children), but I do have a complaint about the details when ordering. I ordered iced coffee and was not told that there would be a charge when I asked for a refill. I ended up paying $15.80 for 4 glasses of iced coffee. we also asked if we could replace fries with Cole Slaw and we were charged an additional $3. Charges like there should be stated by the staff when ordering. I did not realize the charge until the next day. Our total bill was over $150.”

“my kids love the indoor playground, great food, friendly staff.”

“First time ordering after hearing nothing but raving reviews! Absolutely delicious! I chose the Phad Khmer mild and added chicken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Mouth watering delicious!”

“Love, love, love this Asian Bistro!! The sushi is amazing and so are the meals. Have loved everything we tried so far! GREAT customer service! Has become our go to….sometimes 3-4x a week - LOL.❤️❤️❤️”

“I had heard good things about Scratch Bakes. I just got a cupcake and peach tea. I also saw a meal someone else ordered. The cupcake was very tasty and the tea refreshing. The indoor seating is very pleasant, quiet, and layed back. There is also outdoor seating. The service was friendly and helpful!”

“the people are very service is good food is always hot and fresh”

“We love their porch/patio seating, especially in the summertime! Recommend the soft ice cream and french fries. They often run sales on small cones or dishes for $1.99.”

“Our favorite local pizza place! The only downside is the pickup time; we generally show up about 5 minutes after the time our order is supposed to be ready, and then will have to wait another 10-15 minutes before actually having our food in hand. Though always delicious either way!”

“Such a hidden gem! Staff was so incredibly nice, food was delicious, reasonably priced, everything was clean (including the bathroom). Definitely coming back!”

“Every time I’ve eaten there it was scrumptious! Very nice, cozy cafe with an always-tempting daily board of choices. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a gem! GO”

“Such a lovely dinner & wine tasting!”

“Best service ever the manager and workers work very hard and do a amazing job . My kids and family love you all . You guys are so sweet .”

“A lot more bar seats now. Will be great in football season.”

“great place to enjoy a super great meal. the food is out of this world. plus i want to thank them for allowing the car group to park in their ot to enjoy the groups meets. again. great food and thank you.”

“Delicious pizza! We order regularly from JD's and are happy every time. Their mild wing sauce is so good!”

“😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋”

“Lots of delicious food to choose from! Service is fantastic. People are so nice and friendly there.”

“I love this place. The food is hot, correct, on time pleasant staff...!!!”

“Walked in and they're very friendly and helpful! Food came out fast and it was hot out of the oven. The food was amazing!!! Got a hot buffalo Stromboli. They are not skimpy with their food. It was the perfect amount of spicy, juicy, and delicious! And there wasn't that extra amount of dry crust like other people's Stromboli. Perfect!!!”

“I've been here since I was pretty young and it's always been yummy!! They're really awesome with chicken dishes, especially bourbon chicken and general tsos. Their egg rolls are great as well 😁”

“Applebee's always has excellent food. We really enjoy their Bavarian Pretzel and Beer Cheese appetizer. We also had the opportunity to taste their new appetizer - Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos. They were delicious! Also really appreciate their 2 for $25 menu in which you can choose 2 entrees and an appetizer to share for $25. Kailee was an excellent server. I observed her excellent treatment of all her guests!”

“Got the VIP treatment today :) such amazing customer service here, and the owner David is so awesome and friendly! Thanks for making my family and I cotton candy!!”

“They have a real niche with their food. They just do things a little different. Their cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak are top notch. Their melts are great. Best fried pickles on the planet bar none. The food coming out of the kitchen is made with what seems to be great quality ingredients. Consistency with the food year over year as well. And don’t forget the old bay hand cut fries! And when they have love music try to catch it. Always a good time.”

“Thank you Starbucks of Ephrata for a fabulous experience! A fantastic group of baristas working this afternoon with bright faces & smiles & bubbly personalities! Very refreshing with customer service being what it has been lately. Thanks for putting an extra pep in my step today with more than just coffee! The new drink concoction you recommended is delicious. Best experience I’ve had there. Keep up the good work! ☺️☕️”

“Popeyes ephrata pa location is always on point. They are friendly, attentive, and fast. Food is always hot and fresh and they keep their store clean. Literally every other Popeyes I’ve been to should take notes from this store location”

“Its our favorite place to get general tso's and honey chicken. They cook the chicken perfectly (I believe double fried which makes it stay crunchy with all that delicious sauce) and the flavor of everything we get is on point. The broth for the soup is some of the best I've had. Oh and their tea is phenomenal. They are friendly, affordable, and timely. Always happy to support a small family business.”

“Wild Wings is always consistent & delicious in my book! My go-to is the BLT pizza & the peppercorn Parmesan wings and they never fail to deliver. Not to mention, it’s a small business & locally owned which I enjoy supporting.”

“Went there for a smash burger, disappointed they didn't have a single, and they weren't exactly what I was expecting. Thought would be crisper. But the French fries!!!! Oh my word!!! They are the best I've had!! Definitely my most favorite French fries now 😋”

“Super friendly lady always there, even remembers us. The food is as expected and in my opinion pretty good, especially at this particular location. It's my go-to for cheap takeout!”
