50 Best American Restaurants near Leola

“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 -“

“awesome food friendly waiter. very friendly“

“The cocktails and food were superb. Every member of the staff that we encountered was friendly and helpful. An overall delightful dining experience and atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back.“

“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!!!!!“

“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 😂“

“Amazing!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re anywhere near Leola, do yourself a favor and stop into Gracie’s On West Main. From the moment we walked in, the staff stood out. You can tell they’re incredibly well-trained—not in a stiff, scripted way, but in a way that feels genuine. They welcomed us as if they knew us for years and were eager to share the story behind the café, which made the whole experience feel personal instead of transactional. The food absolutely delivered. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And the bacon? Honestly, next level. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor—easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. This is one of those places that gets it right across the board: great people, great atmosphere, and food that actually lives up to the hype. We’ll definitely be back when we are in the area!“

“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.“

“We loved Passerine! The branzino was fabulous! The ribeyes were perfect! Loved the mushroom soup and pate! And the specialty cocktails were full size and delicious. It was a great night with friends!“

“thank you to the staff and especially to Olivia who made our anniversary last night so special 100% recommend we will definitely be back“

“love their truck at local events! great ice cream stop, great for family/ kids“

“New ownership. Limited menu. Bring back the brisket platter.“

“We had a wonderful waiter who helped us pick out our entrees. The food was unbelievable. Great service, great ambiance, great food. Can’t go wrong! We will definitely be back.“

“Booked Harvest for our rehearsal dinner and were extremely happy with our experience. Specifically went with them because of their commitment to local ingredients and plethora of plant-based options. Seasonal menu options were delicious and staff was excellent. We booked on an extremely busy evening that also included another rehearsal dinner - we still felt like the center of attention and food portion sizes were healthy and consistent. Great communication by event coordinators, Tori and Jenn. Made the booking so easy and seamless.“

“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 had dinner with some friends!! Three of us got the pork chop and it was wonderful! Another friend had the Beef Wellington and she said it was delicious! Everyone was kind and serving to us.“

“While dining at park place diner I had the pleasure of being served by Katie! she truly Is the best at what she does! And the waffle was phenomenal.“

“First visit and was impressed“

“Great breakfasts, soups, and sandwiches. Sending prayers to the Udder Choice family“

“One of Lancaster County's greatest hidden treasures is the White Swan Restaurant in Rothsville, PA. If you like great food, great service and an uplifting atmosphere , this is the place for you. Drew, the owner/chef who runs things, does an incredible job and he has helped make the establishment as close to the TV show Cheers, as possible. His family all chip in to make it a gem of the county. I have frequented the Swan many times over the years and have been a regular at their Thursday night trivia for the past 14 years. Chelsea takes care of the bar and is fantastic and Elena and Shannon take care of the waitress duties during trivia night. They are the best!!! And Mike D brings his infectious charm as host of trivia. So if you want good food, reasonable pricing and just a great place to hang out, the White Swan is the place for you. You will not be disappointed!!“

“We had an excellent experience at Lancaster Brewing. We haven’t been there for a few years because we live several hours away, but went out of our way to go today and it was even better than we remembered. Lindsey was our server and was so incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was quick and high quality, and we were very impressed with the craft cocktails. We will look forward to the next time we can enjoy a meal here!“

“Great food & Service 4 our Party of 23“

“This is our very favorite restaurant, however due to a very large crowd this evening, we had to sit at the bar. It was nice at first. But our waitress/bartender was a bit rude to us and didn't even check on how our meals came out, offer more beverages, refills and did not offer dessert. We usually tip very well but didn't this time. The crowd had really dispersed by the time we had our meals so there was really no excuse for the bad service. We will continue to go back of course becasue we love it there but hoping for a better experience.“

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was pleasant and service was friendly and attentive. We really liked the natural lighting due to the big windows where we were seated. The place was clean and inviting. The food was so delicious, I had the Owl's Nest burger & the dessert we tried was amazing too.(Strawberry Angel Crunch cake) Even though they're only open to the public for lunch Monday-Friday it gives us a chance to try more of their outstanding meals/desserts.“

“Excellent. My wife and I went with our daughter, her husband and our two grandsons. Sat right down and were waited on promptly. The peanut butter ale and the blonde ale were excellent. For food we ordered a pepperoni pizza, buffalo wings, salad with shrimp and a pretzel- all dishes were great. Service was spot on. Looking forward to going back.“

“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 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.“

“I love everything about Fox Meadows. The lunch, salads, soups and burgers are my favorite! Of course the ice cream is delicious and their chocolate chip cookies are the best!“

“Consistently great food.“

“We stopped in at the Red Pin Bar & Grill for a Friday evening date night, and it turned out to be a great choice. RPBG offers a complimentary appetizer of pretzel bites with honey mustard for every table, which was a nice touch to start the evening.
I ordered their signature chili with cheese, and it was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. Easily one of the best bowls of chili I’ve had. My wife went with the chicken quesadillas and said they were very enjoyable.
Our server was friendly and attentive. Even though she was clearly busy, she made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and a local band playing in the background added to the overall vibe.
Overall, we had a great experience at RPBG and are already planning to return soon.“

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

“Had a great dinner with friends and family. The location was not the greatest. It was rough to find parking. Other than the parking we had a fantastic time. The service was fantastic, all meals came out at the same time and were fantastically presented. I would definitely dine here again.“

“A+ food and friendly, thanks!“

“Spring/summer/early fall Friday night live band nights are always fun. Recently discovered the Birds Nest Deck to watch the Eagles games and I won’t watch them anywhere else now. I believe there has been a change of ownership since the past (2021) and I definitely think they are moving in the right direction.“

“First time dining experience for my husband and I Nice staff Great food Loved the nostalgia Great atmosphere to get away from the normal chain food eateries Sometimes we need to slow down and take in the small things of life to appreciate all that God has given us.“

“Parking: Arthur's Terrace Restaurant is located in The Eden Resort Hotel, Best Western, Eden Road, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where there is plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is located in a hotel where there is a hotel lobby.“

“Was there on Easter Sunday, had their special which was ham, turkey, filling, green beans, mashed potatoes and a piece of pecan pie. It was very good and lots of food. Will go back definitely 👍“

“Just had a wonderful lunch on the deck! Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“We ordered a burger and their sirloin steak. Both were cooked to our exact specifications. The burger was so juicy and flavorful!
For dessert, we ordered the lava cake with vanilla ice cream….. It was absolutely delicious!!!! The manager kept walking around checking on everyone and it made me feel like they really cared about their diners experience.“

“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!“

“I held a private luncheon on a Saturday afternoon for 30 people. Mick responded promptly when I made an online inquiry. The room and food were prepared to perfection. The service was excellent, the room and tables were clean, and the food was delicious. It was nice to have the outdoor area for the little kids to get a break and play. We had reserved the room for two hours, and some guests were slow to leave. The staff was patient and did not rush us out the door. I highly recommend Mick’s in Willow Street.“

“Amazing food and service! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Bravo manager and team! Amazing food, great drinks. Will come back again. Highly recommend. Cheers“

“I only recently tried Mick's and I loved it. Love the pizza in particular. Typically, when I try a restaurant with only one or two items I will eat. As someone with severe food sensory issues, I love that there are so many items on the menu that I can eat! Pizza is my go-to but I am branching out and trying other dishes. I haven't tried anything I didn't like yet. Loving the Shepherds Pie today!!!“

“I've eaten here a number of times and, I think they switched over to using smash burgers so, two patties is recommended. Today, they had our hamburgers sitting on the counter getting cold until the fries were done, Bummer. Fries were good.“

“Some of the best pretzels I've ever had. They make it right there, freshly made. It's a small place, and not really a place to sit down and eat, there is outdoor seating. It wasn't a beautiful day out LOL, so I got to go. I decided to get a sour cream and onion pretzel. I loved how fresh and buttery they were. The sour cream and onion pretzel was a nice twist. Parking can probably get a bit crazy on busy days. Definitely drop by if you love pretzels like I do.“

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

“Had two sandwiches, the Reuben and a chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. Delish. Other restaurants could take lessons from them on how to make a Reuben. Where they fell short was with the overpriced drinks, Autumn rum runner and a martini. The martini came with a 2" square ice cube and not much drink. They need to take lessons from Penn's Tavern Restaurant on how to make a rum runner. No one has beat theirs yet.“
