“Boy oh boy where do I even start. The food was to die for. Stopped by on my way in to town for a quick bite.

“I love jb dawsons. Their food is delicious. I would highly recommend eating there. That being said I was highly disappointed today. I am a single mom on a tight budget. I wanted to enjoy lunch with my friend and daughter today. We chose in Dawson’s because they are not only delicious but they offer free kids meals on Sundays! That’s about the only way I can afford to go to be honest . We were excited to eat there today! We get seated and the waitress tells us kids aren’t free today because it’s Father’s Day?! Like seriously ? So we had to leave … cuz I simply couldn’t afford it. I’m raising my daughter alone and wanted to enjoy a good meal on the only day/time I could afford to and we couldn’t because of this. Just highly disappointed in them today.“

“We had the short rib Wellington. Fantastic! Our wait person was Mike. What a pleasure! He suggested this meal. Wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to our needs. Would come back, but would need to be waited on by Mike. Great experience.“

“We found this place in 2018 when we were in state working. We have come back several times over the years when passing through for great food. We have stayed at the Inn a few times as well. We always have amazing food and drinks here and the owner Dave is wonderful to talk to. We hope to be able to keep coming back here again and again. It never disappoints!!“

“Fabulous food! Steak cooked to perfection.“

“Matt was excellent! Food was top-notch! We will definitely be going back! This is what you want at every restaurant. The apricot bacon pizza was amazing! My son loved the Todd burger. Fiancée loved his steak tips sub. All of our meals were perfect.

Wheelchair accessibility: Several ramps make it very accessible“

“This was a great homestyle breakfast! The baked oatmeal and the seven grain break was delicious. The complimentary oatmeal cookies were a nice treat. The hipster atmosphere, decor, and artwork made it a unique dining experience. When we come into town again, we will be back!“

“The food was Fantastic!! Husband & I came in for our 26th wedding anniversary dinner!! Great service as well❤️“

“This was our first time at Stoner Grill and it was so good I’m posting a review! I got the special: Candied Walnut crusted salmon over sweet potatoes and carrots. I asked for it rare and it was delicious! Cooked perfectly, except the carrots were a little undercooked. I couldn’t cut through them easily.
Our server Olivia couldn’t have been better. She was professional and knowledgeable about the menu yet friendly and very patient with me, who couldn’t decide what to get. I’m so glad I got the special.
My friend’s order was the buffalo blue chicken quesadilla which had neither buffalo sauce nor blue cheese inside and we checked all quadrants, but fear not; Olivia promptly brought blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, and buffalo sauce. Great service.
There happened to be an office party celebrating Halloween so that was fun to see and Olivia told us about the different theme nights they have. We are definitely coming back for some of those.
All in all, it was a great meal with great service and we really enjoyed the whole experience. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the atmosphere. The string lights, the lighting, and the well-appointed look of the barn was really inviting.“

“Very nice place with a polite staff Brussel Sprouts were a great starter choice that we both enjoyed.My scallops were perfect and the only thing I did not find appealing was when ordering them you don't get choice of sides it comes with a side of roasted corn and a Parm Crisp hardly worth the price or very filling.My wife enjoyed her seafood pasta and my appetite was satisfied helping her lol.Overall a good experience and will definitely return.“

“Great place - note, this review is for the room rental of this facility. We decorated the room for an event, and it's a very nice space. There's a decent amount of space, good tables and seats, a lot of parking, and the staff are friendly! This is a nice venue if you're looking for an event space. Note - decorations are from Angie's Variety Shop.“

“One of the great food stands at Southern Market, offering innovative farm fresh cuisine. Loved everything; but, have to give a huge shout out to the turkey melt. This isn't Grandpa's turkey melt....it is an extraordinary sandwich with thick turkey cuts, fresh crisp sourdough and just enough tang from the cranberry compote. I'm a fan...“

“Came here for my nieces first communion I got the 16 oz NY strip it was delicious very flavorful and the garlic mash was to die for. Only thing I would change is the chairs outside but it’s about the food not what you sit on. I rate this experience 9.7/10“

“Greatest place for out of town folks and locals, very warm and welcoming environment . Worth the time and money you are spending there and you will most definitely be catered too I am gonna be spending my days of work pretty often at this place“

“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.“

“CAROL AND I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PLACE..FIRST TIME THERE WON'T BE LAST...JAZZ DID NICE JOB AT BAR...PASTA WAS GREAT...CROWD OLDER AND FRIENDLY...WOULD RECCOMEND. ONLY SMALL COMPLAINT..NO BREAD...TRY IT WILL LIKE.“

“A wonderful restaurant to host a special event. I hosted a retirement party for my husband. Drew was great to work with and he and his staff did a fabulous job of making my guests comfortable and the evening worry free for me! The guests raved about the food. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. A huge thank you to the White Swan owner and staff for making the evening such a memorable event.“

“We were very happy to enjoy the nice outdoor dining area for lunch on a beautiful fall day. I loved the Rockfish Sandwich. It was a bit messy with the slaw on top, but so worth it with the crunchy, flavorful fish and soft brioche bun. Along with a Blue Moon, what's not to like? We also had friendly efficient service as well.“

“The food, most of the time, is delicious. The only thing is that most of the time you have to call back to back before anyone answers the phone and when you arrive, the staff seems a little chaotic and overwhelmed - maybe they're understaffed? I've never had a negative interaction with anyone, there just seems to be a lot of confusion and overwhelm. All that aside, I really do love this place.“

“We have been a number of times and I haven't reviewed before because while I like the food there was always something I couldn't put my finger on. But tonight, we had such fabulous service from Graham that I wanted to give him the shout out. The good is good. It can feel a bit stuffy but quality is excellent.“

“My neighbor took me here, it's my first time eating here. We had the potato skins with seafood, & I had the mini salad, crabcake & fries. There were so many items on the menu, I couldn't decide, especially after viewing the photos on Facebook. Our waitress was VERY busy, it took a little while for service, but worth the wait! Very nice atmosphere. I will be back to try something different.“

“Some of the best ice cream that I've ever had!“

“Outstanding service. Excellent Diner style food, served hot. Follow the locals and you cant go wrong .“

“Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with and set my birthday party up to perfection! The food was great, the service was great, the drinks were great!! It was a night I won’t forget! Thank you to everyone who made this happen for me !“

“We wanted to thank you for accommodating the rehearsal dinner last night. The food, service, and room were perfect. We enjoyed everything. The groom and bride to be were very pleased with all of it. My husband and I will definitely be coming back in the future. (Over an hr away but worth the drive) We need to try the ice cream parlor too. Our server was wonderful. Again thank you for everything. Thanks Cindy Logan“

“We stopped in to visit since our neighbors bought the place and updated it. They did an amazing job, plus the food was wonderful. Bell and Evans chicken adds the perfect upscale touch. The ice cream was delicious as well, and the petting zoo was full of adorable animals and even included two ponies! Well worth the time and money to stop!“

“In business for nearly thirty years, Lancaster Brewing Company has the brewpub concept down pat. The atmosphere is casual (albeit potentially fairly loud), and the dining area offers a view of the brewery tanks. Speaking of the beer, there are quite a few varieties to choose from – everything from nitro stouts to peanut butter ales — and LBC offers flights for those who want to try it all. The food selections are equally impressive. While you can find the requisite wings/burger/pizza here, LBC also defies expectations by offering up white chili or a chicken, leek, and lager pie.

My wife and I split an order of teriyaki fried cauliflower, a braided soft pretzel, and a burger meister and found the food to be very good. The cauliflower featured thick breading and a sweet teriyaki glaze. I could have eaten an entrée’s worth of it and have been satisfied. The pretzel was warm and pulled apart easily. Rather than being accompanied by separate cheese and mustard dips, its partner was a blend of beer cheese and mustard, strongly flavored but tasty if you don’t mind mustard. The burger featured fresh ground bratwurst, something that will leave you wondering where it was all your life. The accompanying fries were natural-cut, salty, and crisp.

While our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning of the meal, she vanished toward the end, and we were in for a wait to get our checks. LBC isn’t cheap for what it offers - $13 for the cauliflower, $16 for the burger – but the portions are at least sizeable.

If you want good beer, good food, and a dash of the unexpected, Lancaster Brewing Company is a very appealing option as long as you have the patience for high volume and a bit of a wait.“

“Excellent food and service Will definitely be going there again soon“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“Our kids love the Nutella Dough Head Waffles!“

“Where to start. We have probably driven by this place dozens of times as we pass through Lancaster back to home in Maryland. We were looking for a place to grab dinner and saw this on Yelp (sorry Tripadvisor). Wow! There is a fairly limited menu of either burgers, cheesesteaks or chicken dishes. But who needs a million choices when what they do, they do amazingly. We got the single patty burgers. You can go up to four, yes, four. We also ordered them with the fried cheese curd, which is a patty of mozzarella cheese that's deep fried and put on the burger. Did I say "yummy!" yet? Made with a fresh beef patty and put on a buttered bun, it was soooo good! The burger was just absolutely delicious. Best burger I've had in ages, hands down. And where can you get a fresh made burger for $5.99? I mean really, $5.99. The fried cheese curd added $2.25 but well worth it for still less than $8.50. We also ordered a side of fries and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were just how I like them with a crispy panko style coating. They were great! Again, best onion rings I've had in a long time, if not forever. We barely touched the hand cut fries due to filling up on the burger and onion rings, but they were also good. We got the Route 66 sauce on the burgers and a cup to dip the onion rings in. Again, delicious. Note that if you are looking for bacon on your burger, this is a Halal restaurant and there is none. I'm a big fan of bacon on my burger, but you won't need it, trust me. This is definitely a place we will be coming back to. A bit of warning that parking may be a little challenging for folks not used to driving in a city and inside the place is pretty tight. We did not have to wait for a table, but I imagine there could be a wait at times. But it would be well worth any wait!!“
