50 Best American Restaurants near Strasburg

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

“My wife and I love going there. Friendly staff. Amazing food.“

“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.“

“ALL foods made on site, taste it!! Unique traditional offerings. Excellent burgers!
Gourmet selections are delectable! Our waitress 'had all the time in the world' to inform, chat and serve the four of us on a week day at noon.“

“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.“

“First visit and was impressed“

“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!!!!!“

“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! ❤️“

“Our first experience at Gibraltar could not have been better. My wife and I had a 5 PM reservation, and when we arrived, three staff members warmly greeted us. A hostess escorted us to a cozy section of the restaurant, where the well-spaced tables allowed for comfortable, private conversation. Within 30 seconds, our server, Josephine, greeted us and offered us a choice of water. Bread and water arrived shortly after, and the service was impeccable from start to finish.
Cocktails - The house Cab is amazing. My wife said the same of her Grapefruit Margarita
Appetizer - The Spanish Octopus was delicate and delicious.
My entre - The Whole Branzino (fillet tableside) was excellent, and the skill of the gentlemen executing the filleting was exceptional.
Wife’s entre - Shrimp Spaghetti was a flavor bomb and the delicate garlic butter parsley sauce was perfect for bread dipping!
Shared dessert - Crème Brule to share was prepared with precision.
Notes.
• Dinner moved at a relaxed, unhurried pace.
• Although the restaurant is full and busy the seating allows private and easy conversation.
• The food quality, taste, portion size & presentation is exceptional.
We will be back and I suggest that you check this well-run, Top-Notch establishment out.“

“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“

“A+ food and friendly, thanks!“

“Very good reuben sandwich crispy and crunchy rye bread. Thick corned beef which was soft and melted in my mouth. 9.25 out of 10. Btw I've never rated a corned beef sandwich higher than a 9 today. Always room for improvement. Came with chips. Should have asked for a substitute on the side.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“We got the pulled pork sandwich and the French dip and both were delicious. Sweet potato fries and house made chips were some of the best I’ve had at a brewery. My complaint is there were a lot of un-bussed tables, which made the atmosphere and service seem sloppy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We come to this restaurant often when we are in Pa camping. We love their Crab Bisque and shrimp special that is served on Thursday's. It's really good! Going tonight to try their pot pie. Great place to check out when in the area.“

“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“

“Small but great pretzel place!! I got a pizza pretzel which was a hefty croissant shaped pretzel STUFFED with pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce. It was soooo good and hearty. I got it on a whim and greatly enjoyed it. I also got a regular salted pretzel that was very good, nice chewy and doughy! I highly recommend a stop in if you like pretzels.“

“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 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.“

“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 went there with a group of 6. Easy reservations just a few hours earlier, good food, cool decor. We were in the indoor dining room on first floor. Very loud group next to us, so towards the end of our dining conversation had become nearly impossible. Good reviews on their soda bread, shepherd's pie, and classic fish & chips! Definitely recommend their cheesesteak egg rolls as well!“

“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.“

“Had a nice lunch with the girls! Our server Bri was friendly and prompt! Enjoyed the toys!“

“Consistently great food.“

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

“Delicious meal (Crab cakes are so good) and so was the cheeseburger slider with upgrade of salad - so fresh and big enough for 2 to share. good selection of fun drinks and beers and very good service. Carmen our server was so helpful and worked hard caring for us and even saw her watering the lovely garden outside. The outdoor dining area is pretty and inviting but was too hot outdoors for us last night. Next time we go we will sit in the outdoor garden for dinner.“

“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!!“

“Had the pleasure of lunching at Miller's last week on our Lincoln Highway road trip! Food was good and staff was nice!“

“Great owner and staff. Felt at home the first moment I walked in. Family like, at home atmosphere !“

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

“Ordered fish sandwiches for takeout tonight, paid over the phone and they brought the sandwiches out to the car. They were absolutely delicious!!! We go here at least once a week and are never disappointed.“

“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“

“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“

“The new location of Daily Grind in an old bank is just about the perfect coffee shop/cafe. It's just amazing how beautiful the interior is! The coffee is top-notch. Little things like making ice cubes out of coffee instead of water for iced coffee so it doesn't get weak as you go, or providing a play kitchen for little ones to amuse themselves! Food happens to be terrific too. I find myself looking for excuses to come to Quarryville more often just to stop there. THE BEST!“

“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 😂“

“The staff were great just like the food. I have never had a bad experience there, EVER!“

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

“Great food, friendly staff, and the salad bar has pickled eggs and beets.👍👍 We live in the suburbs of Harrisburg and we stop there to eat when we visit the area about 2x a month. Keep up the good work.“
