“Enjoyed dinner with friends. Brittanie was our waitress. Very good!! The chef was accommodating to a slight change replacing a regular burger on a salad instead of a beyond burger option of protein add on. Burger was delicious!!“

“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“

“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 -“

“Haven’t been here for several years and tonight wondered why not? Amazing service from Edwin and the table staff from the time we were seated until the moment we left. Calamari was lightly breaded and served with both a delightful pesto and zesty Thai chile sauce. Preferred the wedge over the Caesar salad, however, both were tasty. Our family had three different steaks with a variety of sauces. The 6 ounce fillet was to die for. All were served with the perfect temp ordered. And then there were the truffle fries. Seasoned with truffle salt, not saturated in truffle oil. No words. Forgot to mention wonderful 3 piece band playing which added to the night. Forgot about the garden room, which we will request next time as a little less formal than where we were seated. We travel often and dine out often and this is a rare exception a recommendation is made. 5-star experience tonight and highly recommend.“

“Greatly enjoyed dinner here while visiting the area. The bacon wrapped scallops are a must! Our waitress was incredibly kind and helpful! The friendly bartender suggested a fabulous local wine. We felt very welcome. The food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Great Food. Outdoor seating. Outdoor Igloo seating in the winter. Great beer selection.“

“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.“

“We come from Maryland to go to Dottie's Snack Bar. We missed them when they were closed. We are so glad they are back and still as a family run small business. My favorite thing is a strawberry sundae. The ice cream is great! So are the steak subs. Welcome back Dottie's.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We’ve been to our share of buffets - this one is the best. Fabulous food, staff is beyond amazing, clean, spacious, etc etc! Some say it’s a little pricey but if you see the different selections and just taste it, it is so worth it! For what we spent, you could go out for a steak dinner. You can get a freshly made steak along with roast beef, chicken, pot pie, several more entrees and vegetables along with salad bar AND desserts - I’ll take this buffet over a plain steak dinner anytime!!!!“

“I have been wanting to bring my family to dinner here for quite some time, and finally we made it over last night. The 40-minute drive was so well worth it, we were not at all disappointed! The food was exceptional, great prices and quality, presentation. and the nostalgic atmosphere really brought it all together. All of the food my family ordered was perfectly cooked and the portions are spot on. From the steak to the burger, to my liver and onions! I also have to add that if you like wings, well you MUST get them. I travel all around the country and all around the globe for my Equestrian Business, Sensory Soundness, and let me tell you, your senses will be overjoyed! The wings here are at the top tier level! I got the Old Bay dry rub, and I highly recommend! The staff are all great, work as a team, and our server Becca was just wonderful. Great Job by all, we will be back!!“

“So my husband and I love trying new places! We are not from Lancaster but from the Reading area. We sat at the bar on Saturday and met Boots.. Yes. Our bartenders name was Boots. He was nothing short of amazing!!!!! He was fun, funny, knowledgable and perfect!! Our food (Korean kabobs and pretzel) were sooo delicious!!! Drinks fantastic!!! If you have a chance to chill with Boots I highly suggest you do it!!! Thank you Boots for a fantastic afternoon. Just wish we got to see Kat and give her that message (lol)“

“We had a great time today! The food was delicious and our server Rhonda was fantastic. All of the staff were very friendly and the wait time was well-managed. Our daughter loved “eating on a train” and it was so cool to watch the train go back and forth from our window.“

“Delicious!!!!! Very friendly staff“

“This was such an amazing place to go, I can’t wait to come here more in the summer time, they were so patient and sweet and the food was amazing, they have a small shop inside with Bible verses and that won my heart over, I love this place.“

“I wish I could eat here everyday it’s that good. The burgers and grilled cheese r to die for. I love me a good old diner and this and wimpy and dees r the PERFECT diners for me. This one don’t have booths and usually I would be disappointed by that but this restaurant is so retro and classic I don’t mind sitting at a table here. Burgers r out of this world juicy and tender as well. Definitely got a really fun feel to this place. Kids meals r served In a car which is neat“

“The staff was most gracious to us since we were delayed. They were waiting for us and had the food ready. Everyone was satisfied with the service and food quality.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is set up to accommodate those with wheelchairs and walkers,“

“This has become my favorite place to get dinner in lancaster! And Mel is definitely a 10/10 server and gives you the best experience yet!!“

“love coming here. Food is wonderful, waitresses are kind and fast. you will not be disappointed.“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“Not from the area & slim choices on Sunday night, I didn't want a chain place, and found this online. Both of our entrees and soup were delicious, made from scratch. Our next trip out that way we will can't wait to visit again!“

“Handmade pretzels made by Amish young teenage girls who had been working there probably for many years.

The place is quaint and very friendly. The food food, especially the pretzels, are amazing, soft and fresh.

They are also responsible for the goats that you can feed just down their parking lot behind the building.

Parking: You can easily park at the Kitchen Kettle Village parking lot next door.“

“Prices, choices, quality and service are just a few. Always enjoyed our visit ☺️ and our meal. Introduced A lot of our friends and they were very pleased.“

“had lunch there yesterday, had very good food and service! highly 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 😂“

“Stopped in for the first time today - GREAT food, great service, will definitely go back!“

“we ordered trays of Hoagie wraps ,3 different flavors of wings for my greatgrand sons baby shower,WOW ,everything was absolutely PERFECT ,extra sauce,chips ,So fresh. Thank you“

“Great lattes and amazing service“

“Just tried for the first time today and we will definitely be back. Absolutely delicious food“

“Head manager we love your establishment but seriously experienced the worst service! We waited over a half an hour for our food to find after I ask for them to check on our food that they burnt my wife’s steak and made her another one my meal when brought out must of been reheated twice and burnt!!!! So disgusting! Why would a manager send food out looking that bad???? We will have to find another steak house that cares about their customers“

“Great place to have a nice cup of coffee and a fine sandwich. Very nice atmosphere.“

“Good food, the sandwiches are huge. I do wish they had more BBQ sides… baked beans, Mac n cheese, etc and more BBQ entree options in general. Staff very friendly.“

“A fun place where locals hangout and enjoy one another's company“

“We were seated right away, our server Jack came over and introduced himself and asked us what we would like to drink and unfortunately my phone rang and he told my husband he’ll come back for my order. He was absolutely wonderful, has an awesome personality and just made our night and we will definitely come back as long as we have Jack as our server or someone just like home! Our food was very good and served hot. The restaurant was clean and friendly.“

“Great customer service, clean and good mix of pizza options! Thanks for a good family meal.“

“Great service, great atmosphere food was good but very over-salted“

“The employees change a bit, but the food remains the same. Gotta get the “All Star” every time.“

“After a long day of galavanting and shopping in Lancaster PA, my wife and I settled on Red Robin on East Lincoln highway for a 8:45pm Friday night dinner, partially because she knew she could find something there to work with her gluten free preferences. We were seated promptly. Our server's name was Phineas... And from the moment he introduced himself, we knew that our evening was going to be phenomenal. His smile and attitude and personality was off the charts amazing... He was seriously the best server we've had in 4 months, at any restaurant we've been to recently. He seemed excited to see us, enjoyed his work, and wanted to ensure our dining experience was first class! He was quick with our beverages & refills and refills on the water. He answered a couple of questions and had a couple of really good suggestions on the menu items. We both settled on the Red Robin burger with the egg, (her's with no bun) and I asked to have some guacamole added to mine... The food came out perfect... Phineas was pleasant and personable and there's a pretty good chance we'll go back and ask for him by name the next time we're in the area. If you're dining at the red robin near the outlets in Lancaster Pennsylvania, ask for Phineas as your server. As employers and entrepreneurs ourselves, we recognize rockstar employees when we see them... If you're in management at Red Robin, take good care of that young man! If you don't, an employer like us may consider trying to lure him away. 😉“

“Best Boli EVER, still! ❤️“

“good service
Thanks to Selena who is half Hispanic and half gringo...I am publishing it like this because I don't know if there is another Selena working at Applebee's on Highway 30 Lancaster Pennsylvania...everything was perfect and the cooks shined with the seasoning they gave to the menu. what I asked for today“

“They treat it you so Good“

“Once I found Jessica the server, I make it a point to ask for her. Her service is both pleasant and efficient. I often anonymously treat another table and I have found her to be extremely discreet. Food is food and although Red Lobster has a wonderful selection—I’d probably follow Jessica wherever she would land if she would leave.“
