“Just recently had my wedding at the Wayside Inn. I can't express what an absolute joy it was to work with Bill and Amanda. They made my wedding so easy and stress free. From their professionalism in having everything laid out including multiple options to Bill offering to officiate and MC the event. It's truly an all in one venue. The rooms are spacious and all our guest were well taken care of and comfortable. The food was outstanding and the venue was beautiful. If I were ever to get married again ( not planning on it Monica) I would absolutely do it here again. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend The Wayside. Bill, Amanda and staff are the best. Thank you all so much“

“My first and so far only experience with Element was the Valentines dinner - and I can't stop talking about how good the food was. cooked to perfection and the portions were absolutely perfect sized - left me in awe and not wanting a single course to end but space for the next equally amazing course. we left not feeling overly full, but perfectly satisfied. nothing sat too heavy and I've been talking about this meal for 2 days now. I was especially impressed by the filet. I'm INCREDIBLY sensitive to red meat and usually eat a steak knowing my stomach will make me pay for it later unless it's specifically grass fed and grass finished or sometimes I can do grain finished. I went into the meal assuming I'd have to deal with my issues afterwards. at first bite I didn't care how much I had to pay with my body later, it was WORTH IT and then to my shock - I HAD NO ISSUES. the staff were friendly, and attentive. I will absolutely be back.“

“There has never been water damage to my house. It was this water damage business that saved the day. Their comprehension of my terrified mood was astounding. They assisted us in remodeling at a lower cost. They are excellent at restoring water damage, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.“

“Our experience was 5 out of 5. This brand is always consistent and dependable. No surprises. Comfortable , clean rooms, nice amenities and easy check in. We had dinner in the restaurant and Izzy was our server. She was so attentive and pleasant it made our experience really enjoyable. We were the only diners and saw many people leaving the hotel at dinner time. No doubt for wonderful restaurants but I suggest they try what the hotel has to offer. Steaks were excellent, vegetables and potatoes cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed this property.“

“Great place to eat and friend staff“

“Clearly marked vegan options on the menu with helpful and knowledgeable waitstaff to answer your questions! I confirmed with the server that the fried green tomato sandwich was vegan by swapping in vegan bacon and vegan mayo, and this sandwich was slammin. The sandwich is seasonal but they also had a BBQ tofu bowl, cauliflower wings, and other great options! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-19“

“quite possibly the best all around resturant the area. cheese steak egg rolls might possibly be one of the most delicious things EVER and the inside is really nice.“

“They have the most charming outdoor seating for this little ice cream location right in the downtown of Strasburg. Many families come with their children and sit outside on a wonderful little umbrella covered tables.

It’s a perfect place located right next to the subway so you can have a sandwich and then I have one location“

This happy and welcoming spot was our all-time favorite within ten minutes. The meat loaf, with mashed, gravy and peas) was a real crowd pleaser at just $5 on Thursdays. The other patrons quickly became friends. And the staff was friendly, welcoming, efficient and funny beyond our wildest expectations. All around wonderful!“

We were seated promptly (of course, we had reserved seats) and or good was served quickly. And, as usual, of food was properly prepared and warm. Drinks were quickly served and topped off appropriately.

Good food, good service, and fair prices.“
