50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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.“

“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!“

“Love this restaurant! The crap cakes are so good! So much crab meat!! The grilled steak kabobs are the best! It quickly became one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Can’t travel to Lancaster anymore without stopping for a Pernil Arepa! Phenomenal service and incredible food! 10/10 every time, best food around!“

“Great atmosphere great food and great location“

“I’ll be honest — walking into Bad Garden Kitchen as a lifelong meat eater, I fully expected a lot of hype and a lot of lettuce. What I didn’t expect was to leave already planning my next visit and actually miss meat less than usual! From the second I walked in, the atmosphere made me feel welcomed rather than preached at. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate, but not pushy, guiding me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. What impressed me most wasn’t just the flavor, which was outstanding, but how none of the dishes felt like they were missing something — they stood on their own. Every bite was thoughtful and intentional. I left feeling full, happy, and honestly a bit surprised at how much I had enjoyed a vegan meal. If you’re a skeptic like me, go with an open mind — you might just find your new favorite restaurant.“

“great food it super yummy and the staff is so nice“

“Amazing food—honestly, everything from the Kathmandu Fry is outstanding. The Joshra Pakura is one of my absolute favorites, and the sticky tofu is incredible too. The list could go on and on! Their chai tea is fantastic as well. On top of that, the staff is extremely friendly and actually remembers you, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“It was great experience.Food and drinks were delicious. Staff is friendly and food was coming out quickly and right. I would really recommend butternut squash and lobster bisque soup 😋. We had mushroom pasta and shrt ribs. It was absolutely out of this world. It was crowded and loud a little on Sunday night. Reservation is a must.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Splits & Giggles is one of our favorite things about living in Lancaster. Delicious ice cream, pleasant and efficient staff, and the lovely outdoor patio. Owner Dave recently brought the ice cream cart to our gathering of family and friends and everyone raved. Thank you Dave and staff!“

“Enjoyed a lovely date night dinner last night. Food was delicious and high quality, the service was prompt and friendly. It is one of the best spots in the city for a quick lunch or for a more elegant dinner. The Nepali Mustard Curry with fish was fantastic!“

“Pizza and pasta dinners are the best around!!!!!! Owners are awesome too!!!!“

“love this place! i come after my college classes and have never been disappointed. tom, i think?, was at the front and took my order today. a super nice and funny guy! he also made sure everything was tasting well after my food came out. will definitely continue to come back.“

“Excellent. Service, food…can’t wait to go back. Vegetarian’ dream- flavorful food and affordable! Cannot believe I haven’t gone here sooner.“

“Good prices great food selection great decor“

“The absolute nicest and most accommodating staff! Their drink selection is amazing and everything I've tried has been delicious! The peanut butter creme latte is unique and my favorite! Highly recommend supporting this very well-run small business!“

“Wow! Delicious coffee. ☕️❤️☕️❤️ Excellent customer service. Convenient drive-thru at Brickerville location.“

“Wish I could give 10 stars. This is the only Chinese food I will go to. The owners are the most amazing people, and I am blessed to have gotten to know them. The food is fantastic and healthy. They are very accommodating and work very hard to make sure you are satisfied. 100% recommended!“

“food was delicious. very flavorful and lots to choose from. can't wait to go back and try some more.“

“Have never been here before.... great place. Did a little date night got the pickle pizza and sausage and bacon pizza. Both were very good. The one guy working was super helpful with my questions since we had never been and place was pretty full. He helped clean/find a table! Definitely will go back.“

“I ordered Stuffed Flounder with crabmeat. It was so delicious. Everything so fresh. It was a delight to eat. Will be ordering again.“

“Great food and service!! Friendly staff and did I mention the food is AMAZING 🤤“

“This is our favorite neighborhood pub. The service is excellent and the bartenders make you feel at home. Highly recommend getting their chicken parm in a wrap or their grilled cheese burger. And don’t sleep on their salads, their greens are always fresh and delicious! Chip is so welcoming, we always feel like we are going to hang out with a friend when we dine there.“

“Definitely the best sticky buns hands down! Mr. Sticky would sometimes bring a truck/trailer to my hometown roughly and hour away and my mom always got us sticky buns when I was a kid if they were in town. If you are visiting Lancaster and are in this particular area off of route 30 it's totally worth pulling over!“

“Fantastic product! Ive never been to a tea shop before. But I got peach green tea, which i thought was very simple and basic. They some how managed to make it a flavor explosion in my mouth. Flavors ive never tasted before, so good, so refreshing. Will 100% be back. For the record I live 2.5 hours away and will come back for their tea. $5.15 for 18 floz again, worth every penny with how good it was!

Also, extremely fast service. 1 customer in front of me. And mine was ready right after hers was, about 30 seconds after paying. Also, I watched them make it. They took their time to make sure the tea was made perfectly with perfect portions. Truly remarkable!“

“What a great place we stumbled upon today for lunch! Excellent service, ambience, delicious food, drinks and dessert! We will definitely be back with friends. This place needs to be shared! Thanks for a great dinning experience. A special thank you to Kensie, you were awesome! ❤️“

“This place is hands down one of the top restaurants in Pennsylvania, maybe even the United States. Places can definitely benefit from taking lessons how they prepare food here at John J Jeffries. My wife and I were taking back by how delicious everything was prepared and tasted. Down to the scrumptious dessert.
We discovered this place while while visiting Lancaster one weekend, there is a great app the I highly recommend call Seed Oil Scout, it's less than $10 for a whole year and it lets you know what restaurants cook with healthy methods. Extra Virgin Olive 🫒 Oil, instead of the poisonous seed oil which are slowly killing our society. This place is the best, farm to table. I've eaten at some of the nicest restaurants in the Philadelphia area and nothing comes close.
I was very taken back by some of the one star ⭐ reviews, I recommend that everyone due their due diligence and check the one star reviews first it gives you a good idea of what the place is going to be like, unfortunately you have to wade through a bunch of spoiled brats that just like to complain, one person goes on about their bratty loud kid and how they were racially profiled, really. Some people just think their kids can do no wrong. I have 14 and believe me, sometimes they are loud and need to go to the bathroom for a spanking. If you do read the 1 star reviews you will unfortunately see a trend, it's not the food. Staffing issues comes up over and over, it's very difficult in this day and age to find good help and as you can see they can encourage people to leave undeserved one⭐ Also it's interesting to mention that when you look at Newest reviews there is a one ⭐ and 2 ⭐⭐ ⭐'s reviews but they were nearly 6 months ago so hopefully the issues have been addressed. I wish John J Jeffries all the luck. I can't wait to eat their again. I have shared our experience with countless friends. Plus our server was extraordinary! Thank you.“

“Very good friendly service. Found this place on facebook and decided to check it out. Breakfast was outstanding, fast, and delicious. Super friendly staff looked like they were having fun and enjoyed themselves. Will definitely go back a d try more items.“

“We walked into Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers with a group of 32 people, and they handled it amazingly! The staff was fast, accommodating, and so friendly from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was welcoming and upbeat, making it a great place for a big group. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything came out quickly despite our size. The team truly went above and beyond. We will definitely be coming back again and again!“

“By far hands down the best burgers I’ve had!! This place was originally a butcher shop from what I’ve heard and it shows! The meat is so delicious and you won’t be dissatisfied with any of their burgers. I’m a bit of a burger connoisseur and this place takes the cake!“

“First time here. I got the fried bao buns and Korean bbq wings. The bao buns had such great potential but the meat inside 2 out of the 3 of them was like burnt jersey scraps rather than a cut of meat. The taste was great but I was really disappointed in the quality. The wings were absolutely delicious, but I’m not big on spicy food and there was no warning on the menu that the sauce would be spicy. Still totally loved them.

It was VERY cold in the restaurant. My group stayed bundled up the whole time. I know it’s the dead of winter, but it was really uncomfortable.“

“Always loved the food here. My wife and I have been getting curry here for years. I like the Red Curry, she likes the Panang. The Crab Rangoon here is better than any place I have tried it....outstanding!
We ordered take out on this occasion!“

“Great service, beautiful smiles“

“Cute little place! Great atmosphere“

“We were at the Ballon Festival in Lancaster PA. I just wanted to give them a shout out. Their brisket sandwich was amazing. We also ate the potato salad, coldslaw and the mac and cheese. I was so full from the portion on our platter but, it definitely made me want more. I wish you had a restaurant. I'm confident you would be successful. Thank you again.“

“My first time here was a wonderful experience. The staff was helpful with answering our questions and understanding the food that we were ordering. The menu described each dish in English as well as being numbered. We already have 2 other couples in mind to take back to this restaurant. Please forgive for eating much of my platter before taking the picture. :)“

“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“

“Outstanding food, large portions. Always 5 stars!“

“We had a blast here ! They make it a fun experience. My kids had a blast ! 10/10“

“Today was the first time I ate from this restaurant and I gotta say the food is a solid 9/10,I bought vegetable fried rice with General Tso's chicken,the vegetable fried rice was just right and the chicken was on point I hope they keep their consistency because I'm definitely going back there,the food is great value for your money....“

“Antonio's is sort of a hidden gem. They're food is always very good and the staff is always courteous and fast. They remember their regulars and treat them with the utmost respect. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. I love to see an uptick in business for them. There is potential for rapid growth as a new apartment building opens and I wish them all the best in their business venture.“

“Thank you for honoring first responders for the month of December! I’m a mental health clinician on the front lines helping people especially now during this pandemic, and it means a lot to be thought of!! A cup of coffee goes a long way ☕️ Staff were kind and service was excellent!!“

“We brought a Bruno's sub home from Lancashire car show today. It was best sub I've had in a while. Will have one again.“

“We sat inside, but I think one of the coolest parts about this place is their patio. It has a ton of room out there and is filled with all types of plant life. There is a great selection of board games and cards to pass the time while drinking some brews. The brewery had a nice selection of their own beer and other locally sourced beer. Bartender was super nice and personable.“

“A favorite coffee shop of mine. I tend to always get the same things on the menu because of how good they are. The BEST cold brew, the best lattes (by the way, their syrups are HOMEMADE!!), and I absolutely love their rice bowl. It’s pure comfort. Beautiful inside and fun to sit on the high tops while looking out the window of Lancaster’s theater and arts district.
Employees, baristas, everyone is a gem! They serve me so well and call me by name which always makes me feel so special. I adore them!
Check them out but be sure to get there early before the crowds.
On street parking that you can pay for or a lot nearby. Grab breakfast, then go to Central Market after 😍“

“Very refreshing. Super clean location and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this business.“

“Great location, but just can be a bit busy!! We've come here multiple times and it's a convenient spot right at the mall. The quality of the food and drinks are just like the others - very good and delicious. Service is good as well.The main complaint is that it can be a bit busy and it's small inside. The last time we went, there was one cashier and we waited in line about 5 minutes before ordering. But despite this, it's a nice location overall!

Vegetarian options: Most drinks are vegetarian, and many of the food items are.

Dietary restrictions: They have almond milk and oak milk I think

Parking: There's a large parking lot at the mall. It can get busy but hopefully you'll find a spot even if it's farther away.

Kid-friendliness: Good for kids overall

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs!“
