“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great lattes and amazing service“

“Very clean and friendly staff and Amazing food!!“

“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“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite! As a Lancaster native, I can confidently say Casey Jones Restaurant has officially earned a permanent spot on our list of local favorites! From the moment we walked in, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The quality of the food was absolutely impeccable — every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. What truly elevated our visit was the incredible service by Braighton L. — personable, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Braighton made us feel right at home and brought an energy to the table that made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the high-end quality of both the food and service. It’s rare to find a spot that hits the mark across the board like this. We’ll absolutely be back — and next time, we’re bringing friends and family to share this amazing gem. If you haven’t tried Casey Jones yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Great food, great coffee, nice employees and atmosphere, would recommend!“

“What a great place. I had some of their strawberry beer at Miller's smorgasbord our waitress told me where to find it. When I walked in I was greeted by the manager I wish I could remember his name sorry for that I asked him about the beer he showed me what he had I bought what I wanted . Before I left. I asked the hostess about the whiskey I saw. Bottom line if your looking for a great place for beer and whiskey and other spirits you will be hard pressed to find one better.“

“What a great find. From start to finish everything was terrific. We asked the hostess when were seated what was good as we’d never been there. Her answer was everything. She was entirely right. From the delicious pickled veggies and bread with compound butter to the multi greens salad, just over the top good. I had the double burger, cooked exactly to my request. Coupled with their special app of bacon wrapped asparagus. My wife had sautéed beef tips which was also cooked and seasoned perfectly. This was a meal that far surpassed our expectations in just how delicious everything was. Our lovely server, Lexi, also was a pleasure. We told the owner who stopped to ask how everything was that he and his staff were great and how much we enjoyed our dinner. If you’re in the Lancaster, PA area for a show or sightseeing put the Olde Mill Restaurant in Intercourse PA in the the gps. You’ll be glad you did. Merry & Doug Braun“

“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!!“

“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...“

“Food was fabulous !!! Highly recommend“

“Its alway a great experience and one our favorite restaurant. Keep coming back ❤️“

“Haven't had a burger this good in YEARS!! Onion rings are great, BLT is awesome. Wish I had room for dessert. Prices are reasonable. Real old time family sit down atmosphere and quality service. Quality and portion are great. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Had seen the billboard and we were in the area so decided to try it. We were both glad we did! My wife got a wrap with potato twists and I got the fried chicken plate. We both couldn't believe how good they were. Great waitress also. The pretzels are a great added bonus. Can't wait to come back and try other items.“

“Brendan was are server….service was excellent food and drinks were served very quickly but not rushed…food was delicious and prices were very reasonable would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster“

“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.“

“I had a great time at the foam party. The drinks were great and the food is delicious. Friendly staff as well.“

“Love this restaurant! The crap cakes are so good! So much crab meat!! The grilled steak kabobs are the best! It quickly became one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“The dining experience is designed for groups of 20 or more and requires advance reservations. Guests are seated at long communal tables and served a variety of Pennsylvania Dutch dishes, including fried chicken, baked ham, meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, brown buttered noodles, and green beans. Meals begin with rolls and coleslaw and conclude with two in-house-made desserts. 

The restaurant operates on a fixed menu basis, offering an “Amish Family-Style Menu” from January to October and a “Holiday Feast Menu” in November and December. Beverages such as iced tea, lemonade, water, coffee, and hot tea are included. 

For those not part of a large group, the adjacent Smokehouse BBQ & Brews offers a more casual dining option with a menu featuring smoked meats, local craft beers, and traditional Lancaster County favorites. 

Overall, Plain & Fancy Farm Restaurant provides a unique opportunity to experience Amish-style communal dining in a setting that reflects the cultural heritage of Lancaster County.“

“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.“

“The buffet was clean and the cheesecake was delicious.“

“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“

“Eat here almost everyday! Food and Service are great!“

“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.“
