50 Best American Restaurants near Manchester

“Burgers were top notch. Chicken tortellini soup was way too salty last week.“

“Old school style diner with nice offerings and a huge menu. It's been clean the bathrooms were nice and clean which is always important to me. My table had goulash and meatloaf. The entrees were good. The brussel sprouts were just heated up out of a can. Pretty blah. Service was excellent. Lots of parking. I would definitely eat there again.“

“We LOVE this place. And our waitress ASHLEY, was awesome. Attentive, super personable, and what a memory. There were 5 of us at the table and she remembered our orders and got everything exactly right, and didn’t need to write anything down! Great waitress. 5 stars.“

“I was in town for work and came for dinner both night. The French onion soup and creme brulee were fabulous, but just might be the best pork chop I have ever had. Prices were reasonable, staff friendly and attentive, food was excellent.“

“our order came out fast. food Is delicious. alot of food for your money. The staff was really nice. Bathrooms were very clean.“

“Delicious food and great service! We have been coming to Country Meadows for many years! Love everything about this restaurant!“

“Update 2+ years later.. more words. Quality is just as good as our first time here. The fried chicken is maybe the greatest on the planet. Crispy outside, juicy inside like something that you'd see in an advertisement - but you actually get it. I had the steak, tenders, broccoli casserole and mashed. I didn't need all that food but I couldn't stop eating. Heather is a freaking machine behind the bar and the staff is a well oiled machine. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later this time. Oh.,. The croissants ... 🔥🔥🔥“

“Went on a busy Friday night but hostess was able to accommodate myself and two daughters. I was in a rush and was pleasantly surprised by the speed of service by the wait staff and kitchen. Everyone was pleasant, food was excellent (kids had burgers and fries and I had the chicken sandwich). Had a long drive home and we arrived at 7:15 and left by 7:50 with full bellies, fun atmosphere, great staff… which was ideal! Highly recommended!“

“We just celebrated our Dover Area High School graduate this past Saturday (5/31/25) at the Roosevelt Tavern, and everything—from the food to the atmosphere to the service—was absolutely FANTASTIC.

What made the day even more meaningful is the personal connection we have with this place. The father of my children, Edward “Peewee” Green, was a chef here many years ago under the previous owner, Bob Schimmel. Sadly, he passed away in November of 2012. Though my kids were only 4 and 5 years old at the time, many patrons still fondly remember him and speak so highly of his time at the Roosevelt.

What we didn’t expect—what truly left us speechless—was the incredible gesture from the current owner. Unbeknownst to us, he had held onto one of Peewee’s old chef coats for the past 15 years, and he gifted it to our graduate during the celebration. That thoughtful, deeply touching act gave our kids a priceless piece of their father’s legacy—a physical connection to a man they’ve heard so much about, but lost too soon.

We are forever grateful for that moment. It meant the world to me and to our family. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.“

“Excellent service. Our server was Billy. Great food.“

“Lovely I love this place I“

“A bit disappointed. Love the space but my meal was nothing special. Mixed vegetables were good but only warm. Baked potato was warmer, but not hot. The star of the show would have been the crab cake but there was nothing special there. The menu says jumbo lump crab. If there was lump crab meat, then they shredded it up to make the cake. I could get a crab cake that good or better almost anywhere. We've had good food here in the past, but unfortunately this meal was nothing special.“

“Thank you for the warm hospitality for getting pumpkin beer for me. It was well worth the drvie to come check out Patti and Dan's favorite place. Thanks I hope to be back again soon!“

“Added the Willie burger to my salad bar only meal. Burger was a little burnt and dried out, most likely from over cooking. I had Willie burgers before that were really good. Somewhat of a disappointment this time. However, our server Alyssa was fantastic. I could not say enough about how sweet and caring she was.“

“The mushroom burger was delicious 😋“

“Nate and his brother catered our end of season soccer banquet. The food was delicious, their service was excellent, and they were a pleasure to work with. They handled everything including clean up which allowed me to sit back and enjoy my evening celebrating my son and his teammates. I would highly recommend them for catering your event needs.“

“Great food, large portions, amazing prices, wonderful bartender/server. We will definitely go back! Prefer volume of baseball game was lower, but got used to it.“

“Kicking off Dive Bar December with a first time visit and we were not disappointed. The hamburger steak with sides of mashed potatoes, corn and biscuit was perfect comfort food for a cold December evening. The wings and cheeseburger were solid choices. Service was friendly and attentive, and we even had a nice chat with the owner.“

“We come all the way from Massachusetts and always stop for ice cream and breakfast! The food is always so delicious and of course the ice cream! The staff is so nice and we love seeing them every year! We even get the best souvenirs to bring home! Johnny is hilarious and always so fun to have as our waiter! And you can't forget about Laura one of the most kind,caring person❤️! Be sure to check out the wall of pictures we are on there!! Till next year❤️“

“love the chicken hubcap. plenty of food...and great as leftovers. plenty of perogies in the side. burgers are always delightful 😊“

“I cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for the kindness and exceptional service provided by Jim & Nena's. After a failed delivery with GrubHub it was much needed!! They were patient with GrubHub and my husband as all 3 worked together in rectifying the situation (which was no fault of the restaurant). They not only offered to deliver our order themselves (so we could stop dealing with GrubHub), but also gave us an additional pizza!! Ps. The bacon cheese fries were LOADED in cheese & bacon & they were absolutely delicious. We will certainly be stopping here more often (rather than ordering through GrubHub).“

“We went on 2/8/25. Staying at the Hampton inn for a dance comp. Our waiter, unfortunately l, didn’t catch his name was absolutely AMAZING! More people kept getting added to our party, he, without hesitation, added more tables and chairs. He took our orders and separated the checks without us even asking. He just really went above and beyond and was amazing! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves! Thank you again! Food and drinks were 10/10!“

“delicious food, clean restaurant, good selection of beer!“

“Best Mexican restaurant in the area! We had chips and salsa within a minute of sitting down. I am a big fan of the seafood chimichangas, and the super queso dip.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“This place is so underrated. I don't get it, the parking lot is practically empty all the time but this place is legit the best restaurant in the area. The food is always unique, the draft beer selection is second to none in this town (have to go to Lancaster city or Harrisburg to compete with this). Music selection is good, servers are chill... I don't get why this place isn't packed. If u pass thru Etown u need to go to the Black Gryphon.“

“I will admit, I had low expectations but this place surprised me. Chicken tenders are breaded in-house, and were crispy and seasoned well. Pizza was well sauced, and tasted great. Service was promt and attentive. I will be back to try some other menu items.

Wheelchair accessibility: Must use main doors for entering and exiting in a wheelchair“

“Arrived in town for a short stay from Florida. The minute we arrived we were greeted by professional and young college kids at the hostess stand. We waited for 10 minutes while our table was assigned. Perfect table on the terrace facing the 18th hole. Sarah our hostess from Penn state was a joy to get to know. We all ordered from the huge menu selection and couldnt decide what to order. We saw The table next to us and the presentation looked amazing. We finally ordered steaks and salmon as our meal with delicious drinks. Perfect Saturday night at a great venue in York Pa. Keep up the great work Shaun Conway and your team. We will be back. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“I'm a Yorker. But hadn't frequented the white rose after they went to a more upscale setting, my old high school homie suggested we go there and after we got seated I found out his out of town visit was for a death in his family that he assumed I knew about but I did not... now your staff being as great as you guys are and the food made this bad personal experience for us very nice otherwise, and it made me feel I may visit again sometime for lunch and a cold 🍺“

“The mushroom burger was delicious 😋“

“It's an old school feel type restaurant mostly older folks. The waitress and other people working were very nice they checked on me consistently. The interior of the restaurant is very very bland. Other than that the food came out in about 8 minutes and it was great the pancakes were nice and big the bacon was cooked perfect and she kept filling up my coffee.“

“Original music hub of York pa ! Supporting artists for 30 plus years ! Dark and dirty bar!“

“Had a fantastic dinner to celebrate our 25th Anniversary (Parmesan Crusted Chicken for me, husband had 1/2 rack ribs)!! Special shout out to the staff and manager for stepping up and getting us started with drinks upon noticing our wait time. Thank you to our server, MacKenzie! You were fantastic!!“

“I love thier ice cream & the people are very respectful!!“

“If you just looking for a normal 2 egg breakfast with coffee you can't go wrong here. The food is consistent and good usually. I go here often enough and I have had days where things where off but then again I've had that happen everywhere . The food here is good , good price, and the staff is friendly and fast.“

“The Mid Bucket chili is too die for.“

“This restaurant is Excellent in Every category! I have Never had a bad meal at this restaurant. The food is just as great as the view overlooking the golf course. There is plenty of seating, a large game room and many options! The bathrooms are clean and the waiters and waitresses are excellent! Honestly, I don’t know how anyone could knock this place. In my book it is Top Notch on all levels!“

“If You Dont Know about this place... you REALLY should go!“

“Our first time visiting this establishment and we could not have been more impressed! The service was welcoming and excellent. The small plates were not very small and were absolutely delicious! The chef clearly knows how to make dishes taste savory. The beer and wine selection is top notch and our waiter was well educated. There is a piano in the main dining area, though it was not being played during our visit, the vibe of the restaurant conveys it would be an amazing piano bar experience. Oh, did I mention the food was fantastic? There is a bar and lounge upstairs that offers a small and relaxing getaway from the main area on the first floor. Will go back often!“

“Great food, good prices, top-notch service. So much better than the chain restaurants trying to take over. We're visiting area from Michigan. We're trying to find a good local diner. Found a gentleman & he recommended this place. Loved their house potatoes & sourdough bread! Will go back when in the area for sure.“

“When we first walked in it felt like we walked back in time to the 70s. Being children in the 70s this was great!! We loved the atmosphere! The service was top notch. Hailey took great care of us! The crab was delicious. We will be back. If I have to pin point anything I would change would be the seasoning on the crabs were too heavy for me so I will ask for light seasoning next time. And one more thing my husband's food took a very long time to get to the table. We were in no hurry but it was a long time after I received my crabs. They were busy though and we will definitely be back.“

“Great place to see bands. The food is amazing. The bartenders are nice and the service is top-notch. Can't wait to come back.“
