49 Best American Restaurants near Intercourse

“My husband and I recently enjoyed dinner at this restaurant using a coupon for a free appetizer with two entrees from the Inn and Spa at Intercourse. My husband had Beef Tips and a lovely salad. I had Linguine with Grilled Vegetables. We started our meal with bacon wrapped scallops. Our food was served hot, tasted very good, and was beautifully presented. We also had old fashioneds served by the bar. Overall, our dining experience was very pleasant. The staff were friendly from the bartender to our waitress, Abigail. We would definitely return when in the area again.“

“These pretzels were super delicious! We tried the plain, whole wheat, garlic, and cinnamon crunch along with the sweet mustard and cheese sauce. My favorite was the plain, we didn’t even need any dipping sauce because the taste and softness was simply amazing!“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“Everything! The food, the staff and the atmosphere. Everything was delicious, the bacon is excellent, the staff is super friendly and I loved seeing all the positive messages written on the chalkboards.“

“Enjoyed dinner with friends. Brittanie was our waitress. Very good!! The chef was accommodating to a slight change replacing a regular burger on a salad instead of a beyond burger option of protein add on. Burger was delicious!!“

“I have tried just about every restaurant in Lancaster County and Dienners ranks #1 hands down against the rest. They might have a much larger selection of food but when it comes to quality , customer service and atmosphere this establishment ranks #1. Keep up the good work and service folks and we will continue to support you every time we are out that way. 💯 Mark Zambanini, Somerset County , PA.“

“We found this place last year on our trip to Amish Country. It's our go to breakfast place whenever in town now. We go for breakfast and the food is sooo fresh. Everyone who worked there was so nice. Make sure to stop here if in town“

“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 -“

“Forget everything else and get the filet. Probably one of top filets ive ever had. Outstanding in every respect. Can cut it with a fork. Don’t miss it. Great service and beautiful location“

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this quaint pub with its sports bar feel. From its delectable beer menu to its delicious pub style food menu, everything was done well! We loved the staff who were very welcoming and engaging. We received recommendations and tastings! Best of all, the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend eating and chilling here alone, with friends, with family, or with your boo.“

“Everyone here is pleasant. There are a lot of activities here for the residents. I come here to help some clients and they all love it here.“

“We come from Maryland to go to Dottie's Snack Bar. We missed them when they were closed. We are so glad they are back and still as a family run small business. My favorite thing is a strawberry sundae. The ice cream is great! So are the steak subs. Welcome back Dottie's.“

“The three of us went for a late lunch and even though we had to wait about 20-25 minutes to get a seat, the staff for the most part were really friendly. One of the waitresses has been there for a long time and is always super friendly to my mom and I. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted wonderful“

“We stayed on a summer weeknight and had a great experience! The grounds are beautiful with tons of photo opportunities and peaceful walking trails. We stayed in the Carriage House—very clean rooms with their own parking, and just a short, easy walk to the main hotel. The complimentary breakfast buffet for guests was a highlight—especially the made-to-order omelettes, which were absolutely delicious! The shops on-site are super cute, and the pool and playgrounds kept the kids happily entertained. A relaxing, family-friendly getaway—we’d definitely stay again!“

“We enjoyed dinner for the first time here. The atmosphere is so fun. You eat dinner inside a real train! They also have outside seating. We enjoyed watching the Strasburg railroad train go by, pet the animals (outside at the barn), amazing staff, fun gift shop and absolutely incredible food! We have not had such an incredible meal in a long time at a restaurant.“

“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.“

“We had an excellent meal here. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken but everything I had was delicious.“

“My husband and I were on a small getaway and discovered this treasure. I am an ice cream lover and must tell you that this is hands down the BEST ice cream I ever had. My husband profoundly agrees! He wanted to go again before we left but it wasn’t possible. We’re already trying to plan another trip down just to go to Fox Meadows. Also, the staff was so friendly. The you g woman who waited on us was extremely friendly and provided us samples to try. Since it was our first visit we were also given a free beverage each! We 💯 percent recommend!!!!!“

“A+ food and friendly, thanks!“

“Walked in 40 minutes before close and was rushed to place our order and felt rushed to eat while being stared at so the staff could close up. The saving grace was how awesome the food was. Best fries I've had in a very long time. I had a turkey reuben that was amazingly crispy and had perfectly balanced flavors. My sister had a burger that looked amazing and my friend had fish and chips. All the food was incredibly hot.“

“Had Lunch there on 12-9-2025 before the American Music Theatre Christmas Show. Started with the sharable cinnamon rolls and was glad we did those things were delicious. Save the juice for your rolls. Everyone's meal came out in a timely manner and the food was hot. The breaded chicken breasts were also good and would definitely get them again. wished you would bring back the Caesar salad.“

“This was our first visit to the Fulton Steamboat Inn after a family recommended it—and it was such a fun experience! I mean, who wouldn’t want to sleep on a steamboat? The rooms have so much charm and felt slightly updated while still keeping that cozy, themed feel. Everything was super clean, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The kids loved the playground and pool, and we all enjoyed strolling around the little lake—especially spotting all the baby ducks! The only downside was that breakfast isn’t included. We didn’t try the on-site restaurant, but there are plenty of great local spots nearby. Overall, a fun and memorable stay—highly recommend!“

“We come to this restaurant often when we are in Pa camping. We love their Crab Bisque and shrimp special that is served on Thursday's. It's really good! Going tonight to try their pot pie. Great place to check out when in the area.“

“We met a family member here for lunch between Christmas and New Years while traveling through the area. The food was as one would expect at an Applebee's, two of us had the grilled cheese cheeseburger which was pretty good, the kids had chicken tenders and the salmon and the wife had the chicken alfredo. They have a kids menu, but both our 10 year olds ate off the adult menu. I would say the standout part of our dining experience was our server, Mindy. She was very accomodating, had a mind like a steel trap, and did a great job recommending things. Keep up the good work! One thing to point out, and this has nothing to do with Applebees...finding the entrance with our GPS was a challenge. Not being familiar with the area we ended up having to do a loop to find entrance, which is NOT off 322. Turn onto Spring Garden St (its a lighted intersection), then left onto E Hill St (next street up from the light, then left into the parking lot. Our GPS did not know any of those steps, so it could be frustrating if your navigation skills are not the best. Simply put follow the signage for the Hampton Inn & Suites which is right there as well.“

“Great food, friendly staff, and the salad bar has pickled eggs and beets.👍👍 We live in the suburbs of Harrisburg and we stop there to eat when we visit the area about 2x a month. Keep up the good work.“

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

“Had the pleasure of lunching at Miller's last week on our Lincoln Highway road trip! Food was good and staff was nice!“

“We got General tos, Cajun, hot, and sudden death for an extra $10 which equates to $16.25 for 5 wings . Sudden death wings are extremely hot & impossible to eat more than one . It tastes good , but you can barely taste them due to how hot they are . They definitely are NOT worth the extra money at all & I do not recommend them . However, the other wings were Delicious! Our favorites out of the 4 was hot . It’s a very tasty hot sauce & not a typical hot sauce . They were nice & crispy and pick up was a breeze . Thank you guys so much, but you can keep those sudden death wings 😂“

“Go to Dyers all the time. Today we ordered 2 chicken cheese steaks a 2 cheese steaks and got all cheese steaks. We called and they didn't make it right. Poor business ethics.“

“had lunch there yesterday, had very good food and service! highly recommend.“

“Head manager we love your establishment but seriously experienced the worst service! We waited over a half an hour for our food to find after I ask for them to check on our food that they burnt my wife’s steak and made her another one my meal when brought out must of been reheated twice and burnt!!!! So disgusting! Why would a manager send food out looking that bad???? We will have to find another steak house that cares about their customers“

“The staff were great just like the food. I have never had a bad experience there, EVER!“

“Great food and drinks. Love Debbie and Lucas“

“Nice place and I stop by there whenever I’m near by“

“we ordered trays of Hoagie wraps ,3 different flavors of wings for my greatgrand sons baby shower,WOW ,everything was absolutely PERFECT ,extra sauce,chips ,So fresh. Thank you“

“We stumbled upon this gem at a kiosk at the hotel we are staying at and we can never turn down BBQ. 😂 the food was great, the service was great, and everything was fast, hot and perfect. Mark was our waiter and he was amazing. Not only is he a great server (i know because I worked in this industry), he’s incredibly kind and hilarious. We came for my birthday, which he knew. When I said no to dessert he asked if he could bring me a scoop of ice cream with a candle, to which I said “sure, but no singing!” Well when he came back to the table with another employee he loudly pronounced “on the count of 3!” Like they were going to sing and counted down then walked away. It was incredibly funny. Thank you, Mark, for making the night memorable!“

“A fun place where locals hangout and enjoy one another's company“

“We were seated right away, our server Jack came over and introduced himself and asked us what we would like to drink and unfortunately my phone rang and he told my husband he’ll come back for my order. He was absolutely wonderful, has an awesome personality and just made our night and we will definitely come back as long as we have Jack as our server or someone just like home! Our food was very good and served hot. The restaurant was clean and friendly.“

“Great service, great atmosphere food was good but very over-salted“

“Great customer service, clean and good mix of pizza options! Thanks for a good family meal.“

“Just had dinner at Bird-in-Hand Restaurant- the smorgasbord was amazing! So many choices! Everything was hot and delicious. The cheeseburger soup was very good! The homemade rolls- very yummy! Shrimp, ribs, mashed potatoes! Salad! I even had a mango slushy! Definitely the place to eat. Can’t wait to come back and try breakfast! Oh and dessert! Wow! Pies, puddings, amazing. Very Lancaster County authentic food! Loved it!“

“The employees change a bit, but the food remains the same. Gotta get the “All Star” every time.“

“After a long day of galavanting and shopping in Lancaster PA, my wife and I settled on Red Robin on East Lincoln highway for a 8:45pm Friday night dinner, partially because she knew she could find something there to work with her gluten free preferences. We were seated promptly. Our server's name was Phineas... And from the moment he introduced himself, we knew that our evening was going to be phenomenal. His smile and attitude and personality was off the charts amazing... He was seriously the best server we've had in 4 months, at any restaurant we've been to recently. He seemed excited to see us, enjoyed his work, and wanted to ensure our dining experience was first class! He was quick with our beverages & refills and refills on the water. He answered a couple of questions and had a couple of really good suggestions on the menu items. We both settled on the Red Robin burger with the egg, (her's with no bun) and I asked to have some guacamole added to mine... The food came out perfect... Phineas was pleasant and personable and there's a pretty good chance we'll go back and ask for him by name the next time we're in the area. If you're dining at the red robin near the outlets in Lancaster Pennsylvania, ask for Phineas as your server. As employers and entrepreneurs ourselves, we recognize rockstar employees when we see them... If you're in management at Red Robin, take good care of that young man! If you don't, an employer like us may consider trying to lure him away. 😉“

“I was there today Abe was my server and he was GREAT his customer service was amazing and his smile was very contagious and his humor bought joy to my whole family while we were there i will definitely be returning and hope he is there when we come back !“

“Best Boli EVER, still! ❤️“

“We went to Red lobster to celebrate with my family and a couple friends. It was my 5 year old daughters last oncology visit and her formal cancer free diagnosis. When the server found out, she asked if the restaurant could give my daughter her meal and then they gave all 4 other kids dessert to help celebrate. That’s what a small town community does, they celebrate with you! Oh, and the food was good too! But the service was exceptional.“

“They treat it you so Good“
