The New Cloister Restaurant offers really good food at reasonable prices with efficient and friendly service. The atmosphere is nice with a friendly vibe, evoking some nostalgia with its original counter and booths. They serve huge portions, like the fried combo with fish, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, and a huge crab cake. The veggie medley is fresh and flavorful, not mushy, and there is even an in-house veggie burger that has been well received. Breakfast is served all day, and the service is top-notch. The staff is exceedingly friendly and takes the extra time to remember who you are. The menu is extensive, featuring both new options and some old Pennsylvania Dutch offerings, like liver and onions, which is available upon request. The food is delicious and plentiful, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. The restaurant has a new ramp, new exterior, and a new dining room, making it accessible and inviting. Overall, it is a well-run, small family business with high standards, generous portions, and clean facilities, with free parking available.
