50 Best American Restaurants near Willow Street

“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.“

“Awesome waitress cheri Warm friendly environment Best French toast!!!“

“Disappointed again and not sure I will go back. I had Eggs Benedict and the eggs were over cooked and the Hollandaise sauce was separated and oily looking.
I had a grilled sticky bun which was a disappointment also. Looked and tasted like it was sitting around for a while and the sticky tasted like a caramel sauce.“

“We had a wonderful breakfast at Gracie’s today. The food was great and the staff were so kind and attentive. There was a delay with our food and our server Tesla and the rest of the staff could not have been more apologetic and accommodating. We appreciated their generosity and will definitely be back again.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We had a wonderful waiter who helped us pick out our entrees. The food was unbelievable. Great service, great ambiance, great food. Can’t go wrong! We will definitely be back.“

“We loved Passerine! The branzino was fabulous! The ribeyes were perfect! Loved the mushroom soup and pate! And the specialty cocktails were full size and delicious. It was a great night with friends!“

“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.“

“The food is to die for, you cannot pick a wrong item! We got the crab dip appetizer, pulled pork entree, crab cake sandwich and the kid's mini dog with fries. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the apples and cinnamon as a side! The staff is helpful and attentive from the host all the way to the waitress and managers. I've never been to a restaurant where the service is so great! We will definitely be a return customer 😊 Side note: The restaurant is extremely kid friendly and accommodating. They have high chairs and tables with enough room to fit the high chair or a stroller while still having enough room for everyone else.“

“awesome food friendly waiter. very friendly“

“It’s good, menu is updated seasonally but it’s only ok. Not quite fine dining and service is a little suspect Procedures of serving across and behind patrons needs to be adjusted. If you’re eating at the bar, please walk around bar instead of the patron leaning back having to move and figure it out. Mixed drinks are good and wine list is good and the porch is pleasant. Place is good, just could be a little better“

“First visit and was impressed“

“Went in front door walked down hallway, was greeted but a nice person named Matt A, which ended up being our waiter! Very nice waiter. Food was as described from waiter, I give the food a 9 out of 10. Will definitely be going back to try more of their dishes. I had fish and chips, and my blind date had the pesto samon pasta.“

“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.“

“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 -“

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

“Hunter was an amazing server he took great care of us! He was very attentive and very helpful and answered all our questions. Missy was a super star and so sweet and very comforting and welcoming and was well versed about everything that the restaurant had to offer. Emily is the sweetest and kindest human I ever met! She is so friendly had such a welcoming and amazing personality! She was hands down fantastic!!! These people are fantastic and amazing we appreciated them so much!!! Thank you so much Hunter, Missy, and Emily.“

“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.“

“Our server, Monet, like the French artist, was excellent throughout our first time at Stoner Grille. For reference, we were there on a Sunday afternoon, after church. I recommend that time period because this normally very popular bustling establishment can get very crowded. Its a fun family and sports tavern. The do take reservations, so be sure to see if you need them for your anticipated time.

We started off with the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Made to perfection, served with 3 delicious sauces. Yum!

My wife had the Shrimp Rocko Tacos, with a maple mayo sauce on the side. They were large enough to take one home to enjoy the next day. Very unique cheese infused shell made this choice a must try for taco fans.

I had the Reuben. It was served on a fresh baked bread, not at all greasy, with a nice amount of corned beef and sauerkraut properly proportioned. The dressing was also just right and not messy as you know Reubens can get. This Reuben had to be one of the best I've ever had and my new high bar to compare all others.

I hope you'll give Stoner Grill a try and let me know what you think, too.“

“Had our last 2 high school reunions here.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this quaint pub with its sports bar feel. From its delectable beer menu to its delicious pub style food menu, everything was done well! We loved the staff who were very welcoming and engaging. We received recommendations and tastings! Best of all, the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend eating and chilling here alone, with friends, with family, or with your boo.“

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

“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...“

“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.“

“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 had a group of 28 for dinner and drinks. The staff handled our group like pros! Yes, we had a little extra wait time with such a large group which was to be expected, but the crew was on top of our drink service and checked back frequently to follow up on our needs. No easy task serving so many at once- Carmen and Johanna were on top of things and Jess was thrown into the fire with it being her first night on the job - you would have never known.! Everyone was happy with their meals, great food and friendly service.
The complimentary pretzel bites are always a favorite!“

“I was there to celebrate my birthday with a friend and we had a wonderful evening. Matthew was our server. He was wonderful and attentive. We had the Alaskan cod and it did not disappoint. We love Gibraltar's . It's my family's go to place for special occasions and just for a night out of good dining. The owner is amazing and the staff is always informative, kind and attentive.“

“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!!“

“Best restaurant in the inside and outside great food, I had a 10/10 experience good food, perfect service and the latin nights are amazing 🤩“

“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!!!!!“

“Great old school diner. We will definitely stop there again in the future.“

“I haven't eaten at Boardwalk Fries in over a decade! Mainly because im from Harrisburg and i remember there used to be a Boardwalk Fries at the Capital City Mall in Harrisburg. But anyway i went for lunch on 6/18/2022 i got the double bacon cheeseburger and fries and my oh my they were delicious! ?“

“Walked in 40 minutes before close and was rushed to place our order and felt rushed to eat while being stared at so the staff could close up. The saving grace was how awesome the food was. Best fries I've had in a very long time. I had a turkey reuben that was amazingly crispy and had perfectly balanced flavors. My sister had a burger that looked amazing and my friend had fish and chips. All the food was incredibly hot.“

“We stay there at least twice a year when we go to Events at Mount Hope Winery. The rooms are great and the resteraunt/bar never disappoints ( huge selection of seasonal beer/ cocktails) They even have a great selection of gluten free items at breakfast“

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

“Spring/summer/early fall Friday night live band nights are always fun. Recently discovered the Birds Nest Deck to watch the Eagles games and I won’t watch them anywhere else now. I believe there has been a change of ownership since the past (2021) and I definitely think they are moving in the right direction.“

“Had Lunch there on 12-9-2025 before the American Music Theatre Christmas Show. Started with the sharable cinnamon rolls and was glad we did those things were delicious. Save the juice for your rolls. Everyone's meal came out in a timely manner and the food was hot. The breaded chicken breasts were also good and would definitely get them again. wished you would bring back the Caesar salad.“

“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!“

“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!“

“So good, food was fast and fresh.“

“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!“

“nice place to eat in family“

“Prices are fare, food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. our waiter was the best!“
