12 Best Soup in Lancaster

“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!“

“A very neat, family-friendly italian restaurant. I enjoyed being served there on a trip to Pennsylvania. We had spaghetti with meat sauce and shrimp scampi, which were really delicious. Buttery bread stick was also available. We were lucky to get a table as soon as we arrived, so we didn't have to wait, as there was a long line in and out of the restaurant when we came out. The restaurant is in a very good location with free parking. Very busy and popular restaurant with young friendly staff.“

“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!“

“We were there for their trivia night. We had pizza and fun. We played against the staff, so I hope more people start coming. We had a good time everyone was so gracious and nice, hope to go again. We also took home one of their pasta salads and really enjoyed it.“

“Great cocktails, expert bartenders who all have worked there forever, great liquor selection. Locals hang out here; they know where to chill, and eat.“

“We got lunch at The Lunch Ladle today and it was delightful! I got the chopped Italian on gluten free bread and my husband got a brisket sandwich. The owners are super kind and accommodating, the lunch room is adorable with a great view, and the food was fresh and delicious. We'll definitely be back, especially since they have specials all week long!“

“Love this place. I come here often as a student at millersville. Affordable but sometimes they are stingy with the toppings. Staff is very nice.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies available as toppings.

Parking: Only a handful of parking spots super close to the restaurant, the ones next to it are for surrounding stores only.“

“Great food and very nice stuff. My wife has Lupus and they answered all my questions. They took time for me. When I came in they addressed by name. I was shocked they remembered me. ❤️❤️❤️“

“I have never been a fan of the Olive Garden, but friends who were visiting wanted to go there to eat dinner. I was pleasantly surprised!! We visited the Lancaster Olive Garden near the Park City Mall. Our server, Mallory, couldn't have been more attentive. The people we dined with were very demanding but Mallory took it all in stride and accommodated all of their requests. She also made the best salad I've ever had at Olive Garden - yes, your server prepares the salads. Our food was delicious, fresh and served hot. Tonight's experience has really changed my mind about Olive Garden and I will definitely return!!“

“The service was good. However, they ran out of chicken salad, bacon, and tomato’s—this happened at dinner time around 5:25pm. They said it was because of the concert at AMT but there are always concerts there and we always go to Panera before the concert and this has never happened before.“

“Great healthy fast salad. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I did a make your own salad with spinach, tomatoes, chickpeas, cucumber, avocado, olives, edamame, and crispy onions. I had green goddess dressing. Everything was fresh and perfect. I also enjoyed the bun. The portion was large and filling“

“July 2025
The restaurant is very open and laid out nicely, so I like that improvement over older Panera locations. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant with a coffee, and both items were very good, but they really need to have more than one person making food early on a Sunday morning. Other than the wait, I really enjoyed my visit while passing through.“
