Restaurants in Lancaster

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.”

“Place is fantastic! beautifully decorated and the food is superb.Wait staff is very attentive.”

“Their coffee and customer service is top notch! I placed an order, recently, and it was received in 2 days! That is amazing, considering all the current delivery issues. When I contacted them to discuss my delivery concerns, they provided an alternative solution that worked great. And the coffee- I am loving this Keystone! So smooth and rich at the same time.”

“My husband and I have been wanting to try Silantra for months and today we finally checked it out! We LOVE it!! The food is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. Our 11 year old son had a chicken and rice bowl with yellow coconut curry sauce and he wanted me to write that it had the perfect mix of spices and the chicken had a perfect texture. Five stars!! We will 100% be coming back!!”

“Today was my first time at Freshly Greek and I will definitely be back! The food was incredibly tasty with fresh ingredients. The pita and souvlaki chicken were out of this world! What a great local gem. I’m excited to try other items on their menu as well. The owner/manager stopped by our table and was very friendly. He said he grows his own herbs right outside - you don’t get fresher than that! Great job to all - my experience was exceptional. Keep it up!”

“My dinner tonight was incredible! This is our go to sushi place. I try sushi rolls that don’t even sound like I’d like them and they end up being incredible. Somehow they make every roll taste good. I love seeing what the special rolls are. Even the simple rolls are great! You can’t go wrong. Staff is very friendly! We love you so much. Your food makes me so happy!”

I can't believe how we waited so long to visit”

“What a wonderful evening. The food was amazing, the drinks were creative and the cabaret night was so fun! Highly recommend for an elevated dining experience.”

“I went there with a group of 6. Easy reservations just a few hours earlier, good food, cool decor. We were in the indoor dining room on first floor. Very loud group next to us, so towards the end of our dining conversation had become nearly impossible. Good reviews on their soda bread, shepherd's pie, and classic fish & chips! Definitely recommend their cheesesteak egg rolls as well!”

“The Buddy Holly Show was absolutely wonderful!! Its a must see show!”

“We live in Los Angeles. We were visiting family in Philly and came to Lancaster for the day on a Monday when most of the restaurants were closed. Someone steered us to The Coffin, and we had an excellent time. The food was delicious, and we were particularly delighted with the bao buns. They were just as good as the pork belly buns that were our favorite dish at an LA Asian restaurant that closed during the pandemic. Service at The Coffin was prompt and cordial, and the decor was a kick. Highly recommend.”

“Our most favorite restaurant! 10/10 every single time!! The food is amazing and the friendly staff make the visit wonderful. They remember you, your favorite orders, and are genuinely happy when they greet you. Even when they are super busy, the service is top notch and the food never disappoints!”

“One of Downtown Lancaster’s BEST kept secrets. Such an amazing/elegant/groovy combination of vibes. Stopped in for dessert and an Irish coffee and it was delicious!

“We stopped by on Saturday night. What a pleasure upbeat music playing and hands down the best cocktails. We had dinner prior to stopping by but can’t wait to go back to have dinner. A must stop for a cocktail!”

“Food and service was very good . One problem , they charged my debit card twice so almost $300 was subtracted from by bank account instead of $147... going on day 3 and still not resolved .”

“The food is to die for, you cannot pick a wrong item! We got the crab dip appetizer, pulled pork entree, crab cake sandwich and the kid's mini dog with fries. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the apples and cinnamon as a side! The staff is helpful and attentive from the host all the way to the waitress and managers. I've never been to a restaurant where the service is so great! We will definitely be a return customer 😊 Side note: The restaurant is extremely kid friendly and accommodating. They have high chairs and tables with enough room to fit the high chair or a stroller while still having enough room for everyone else.”

“Best cafe ever! Jax is warm and inviting and does a superb job of playing host and caring for these kitties. The cafe is pure genius and a great addition to the city.”

“Had a nice lunch with the girls! Our server Bri was friendly and prompt! Enjoyed the toys!”

“We had not been here in about 3-4 years. After eating there this evening, I'm sorry it took so long for us to get back. I had the chicken fried steak with corn fritters on the side. They were fantastic. BUT the chicken corn chowder was even better. In fact: the best I have ever had, and we live in Lancaster County. On top of that the server (Crystal) was super friendly and wonderful. Easily a 5 star experience. Thank you all...particularly Crystal!”

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

“They take care of you quick.”

“This new asst manager was needed. The previous one had to go with her attitude. This place is clean enough to dine in now. The drive thru line isn't on hold for hours. The cars drive right on through. We got caught in the storm so I bought clothes to change into. She placed my food in the warming area until I came back out instead of leaving it sit on the counter. She was polite. I like this change and this asst manager.”

“Shout-out to the Saturday closing team today!! 🙌 We were picking up two mobiles on a Saturday night, we noticed we only got the food for one order, no big deal, went back in to grab it. They were quick to remake it for us and even threw in a pack of cookies for the trouble! Awesome team!!”

I had gotten two pizza's and they both tasted the same. A little disappointing being I have always had great pizza from here. The burnt taste for me was so bad. Felt like I wasted $40 on pizza. I still give 4 stars because of past experiences.”

“My favorite place to dine in Lancaster! Delicious, fresh food with favorites and seasonal specials. Amazing beer selection. Friendly atmosphere. Fun events like trivia and live music.”

“Bert and The Elephant has great service, but the vibe is what really makes it special. It truly feels like you’re in Belgium! The food and drinks are amazing, and to top it off, I also found out that Bert’s and my family are from the same neighboring town on an island. Then to make it better me and him were born in the same town in a whole different country across the world, such a small world. Bert is a great guy, but his explanation about the beers, the technique behind the foam and how to enjoy it was mind blowing!! Jess was soooo good as well! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Had wonderful coffee and a delicious wrap! Would highly recommend 🌻🌻🌻”

“Quite possibly the best soft pretzel I’ve ever had! Nice and buttery! The cheeseburger wasn’t great and the cheese was cold, but for the price I’m not mad. Also, that’s on me for getting a burger from a barbecue place lol I’m sure the chicken was great. They only took 1 order at a time which made the wait longer than expected. There was a nice little picnic area on wood chips right next to it, which was nice.”

“Excelente para compartir con la familia una Excelente comida….”

“Staff was very friendly - helped me out when I didn't know how to order lol. I got an iced caramel latte with marshmallow soft whip on top. SOO good. Far better than big corporate coffee places like Starbucks. Also order a breakfast bagel. That was also really good! I really like the atmosphere. My only complaint would tables (they have a sticky-like texture & they're pretty high up from the booth seats. Other than that, I really enjoyed my first experience here. Will definitely be back again.”

“Amazing CBD coffee!”

“10/10. We chose outdoor dining, it was such a perfect evening. Our waiter was so sweet, and the food was nothing less than perfect. Always get the season hummus, and it never disappoints. First time at this location, and will be back! ✨”

“Greatest pretzels around! 💜”

“I'm glad to see that they added a lot of the inside seating back after pulling it in 2020-2021 during the Covid panic. It has been that long since we have been at this store. The chicken sandwiches today certainly set the industry standard for excellence, and the waffle fries were top notch also, hot and a little salty. Tried the "Sunjay" of 1/2 sweet tea and lemonade and thought it was OK but will go back to the regular lemonade.”

“AMAZING PLACE!!! MORE AMAZING PEOPLE!!! I am a tour operator and had a group at Tanger Outlet Lancaster. Long and the short... I had a client in need of seat, and an outlet for his portable O2 in a standing room only Butter & Bean. So, one of the staff hears my plea for help and Jessie, the owner comes out. She makes arrangements for not only a seat near an outlet but grabs an extension cord to allow for some movement. The patrons in the entire cafe made way for Jessie and my client. I ask if we can just chill for an hour or so, till he gets charged up and she wouldn't hear of it. "Stay as long as you need to", she said. So, I bought my client a coffee and a sandwich, which was amazing, bought some coffees for those that made space for him, and invited the entire bus group to join us and support Butter and Bean. And we sure did. The food and coffee were great, but the spirit, the vibe and the whole experience I needed to share. Oh, did I mention it was Black Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 1230p!!! Who does that??? Well, Butter and Bean does! So, get great coffee and really good eats, and support a business that we will proudly support in every way.”

The food was exceptional, the service was exceptional and it is such a cute welcoming atmosphere. I will go again for sure and this time bring my family from El Salvador with me.”

“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.”

“My fiance came here tonight for the first time. To me this was way better than what we have in York. Food was hot! That is a huge pet peeve of mine. Alot of different things. I am a diabetic and I wanted more then salad. Shrimp, fish and veggies. The only issue I had was the kids that the parents let run around. Not the restaurants fault. Will be back. Food was good!!”
