The raspberry martini is my favorite drink there!!! Our server was Jake and he was exceptional! If I’m being honest this was our 4th time dining there and every time the food and service have been phenomenal! I’m already looking forward to the next time.“

“This is the cutest most fun ice cream place I’ve ever been to. I am literally obsessed with everything about it: the menu, the decorations, the staff everything is such a treat. I can’t wait to bring my little brothers and sisters and see their faces when they experience it for the first time. There’s so much to try and always a cute event coming up I can’t help but want to keep coming back for more!!“

“Sweet Jenny’s is a staple for our family. We never have a holiday table without chocolate from here. Teacher gifts are a must. Summer ice cream trips making memories! Everything here is amazing, including the owners. If your visiting the Buffalo area this place is a must see, we always bring out of towners here! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community!“

“The hot chocolate was really good but there was too much cream stuff on top and not enough hot chocolate. The breakfast sandwich was really good and had a nice bun with a really good sauce but the bacon was kinda chewy and hard to cut through. Still would recommend it. Coffee was robust but not bitter and was served at the perfect temperature one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. The decor is very coffee shop-esq. It’s cool that it’s kinda out in the country side - it gives it a comfier feel. It would be nicer if it was a little less crowded and you didn’t have to yell to talk. The music was questionable. It seemed like they had enough staff which you don’t see anywhere nowadays. They were also quick and friendly.“

“All ice cream flavors are unique. Their specialty sundaes are more than enough for 2 to share with 3 generous scoops. Prices are reasonable.“

“Phenomenal poke bowl! Love that you can customize and be as traditional or wild as you want to be. Incredibly fresh and flavorful! Tons of options and a great place to eat the rainbow. The 3 protein bowls are huge and so reasonably priced. Husband got a poke burrito and the Mexican Roll - everything absolutely delicious! Impeccably clean inside and the owners are super sweet and even gave us a little tea mug as a thanks for our order! Will definitely be a regular customer!“

“I got the crab Rangoon’s, the miso soup, rainbow roll, shrimp tempura roll, coral roll, and the ocean roll. The crab rangoons were great, perfect filling and size, probably the best I’ve ever had. The rolls were great! Especially the coral, probably the best roll of the bunch! The ocean roll was a little disappointing, way too much cucumber. I know the excess cucumber is to fill you up with a cheap ingredient but when it feels like you are eating straight cucumber that means you’ve gone too far. For an ayce I’d say they weren’t too conservative with their fish which I do appreciate.The miso soup was also a bit watery.Overall for the price ($17) it was a good enough deal and it was better than many of the other all you can sushi places I have reviewed.Lastly want to shout out our wonderful waitress, didn’t get her name but she had pink eyebrows and did a wonderful job!“

“food was great! Very much enjoyed.“

“Very tasty!! Friendly employees as well!“

“This was a very charming place to eat, my beautiful friend treated me to this little gem and I’m glad she did. We dined in and had great conversation. A good selection of entrees and meats. I hadn’t had a good falafel in a while and I wasn’t disappointed. I like hot sauces however, the hottest sauce was more like a medium heat. I ordered sparking water and the special. The portion was large and I ended up getting a take home box. Enjoyed the lamb, chicken souvlaki more than the beef. Brown rice and a side salad with blue cheese dressing. The meal was about $50 for two ppl.Vegetarian options: They offered vegan mushroom soup the day I attended.Parking: Ample spots directly in the parking lot outside of the restaurant. The restaurant is in a strip mall with a few additional establishments. The address is just off of Millersport hwy.Wheelchair accessibility: The doorway is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and the tables can as well.“

“This place is a gluten free eater's paradise. The menu has a little bit of everything. The chicken soup was delicious. I ordered lobster mac and cheese. It was good, but I was expecting a baked entree. It is macaroni in mornay sauce with shredded cheddar on top. It was tasty, just not what my mind pictured. I purchased a few baked goods to bring home. The carrot muffin was delicious. Moist, not too sweet and mildly spiced. Can't wait to try the other items. I would definitely go again.On another visit I had a club sandwich with fries. They have the best fries. And the turkey in the sandwich tasted like it was fresh roasted, moust and flavorful.Update: 5/22. Continues to be very good. Had meatloaf dinner which was moist and flavorful. There is a small eating area outside if you choose to dine al fresco!! The atmosphere is lacking, but for those who prefer outside eating to be safer, It's available.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free and menu items can be dairy free as marked.Parking: There are 3 disabled spots near the entrance. Lot behind these can accommodate a fair number of vehicles.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the entrance, but I didn't see a door opener. ? look like they can accommodate a wheelchair.“

“I have always been a fan of this restaurant, however, I think that this is over. I was there a month ago and I had a hair in my omelette. I obviously sen“

“One of the many Perry’s ice cream place around the area. Got a fun little shop with great staff and delicious selection of treats.Vegetarian options: This location has a vegan manager and they have a separate all vegan menu posted with lots of options.Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy and vegan options.“

“Ate with parents, pleasant surprise for fast punjabi foodGood choice for meat eaters and vegetariansGood flavour and a pleasant level of spiceNot only do they have their build your own concept, you can literally go there and have paneer with naan“

“New location, different vibe, but still a great atmosphere with delicious food. It's a pig place, but don't be fooled by the name. Vegetarians can eat very happily alongside their meat-loving family and friends. The Masala cauliflower risotto was lovely and satisfying. There is no rush and the staff are wonderful. Highly recommend for upscale dining. Definitely need to go back. Looking forward to getting through their menu.Parking: Crowded, but available.“

“We stumbled upon this place when heading back to our AirBnB after a long day visiting Niagara Falls. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but it’s very dark so hard to see and the booths are tight. There was also no AC. We got the Burrata for an appetizer and it was mediocre. For our meals we got the shrimp poyboy which came with delicious sweet potato fries that had a honey glaze and the salmon which came with jambalaya, which my mom really enjoyed. (She is hard to please when it comes to food) My dad got the seafood stew which had good flavors but the seafood was all overcooked. My sister had the seasonal salad which she finished. (She never finishes her meals) We also got the Mac and cheese side and it was pretty good. Overall, it was a pretty good restaurant but I’m not sure if I would recommend it“

“Balanced Bite is in the former Flourish location on Broadway in Lancaster and oh my goodness !!! their food is FABULOUS!!!!! All vegan. No processed oil, sugar or salt.... Their breakfast sandwiches are divine! Everyone who works there is friendly and fun and in the back is an incredible chef who went to the NYC Culinary School and rumor has it he was offered a job in a Michelin Star vegan restaurant in NYC and turned it down to come work in Lancaster! Their vegan Buffalo Wing soup is out of this world!! I always order their meal prep. Five awesome meals...big enough to share! Always delicious! Their hours are limited to Friday & Saturday. They have a great breakfast & lunch menu. Plus a deli case full of wonderful vegan things like vegan "egg" salad, "chicken" salad made from chick peas, hummus, "cheese" for nachos..they also have amazing smoothies & great coffee. Nice selection of healthy baked goods like muffins and cookies and fantastic sour dough bread! It's a tiny place with maybe 6 tables and chairs...it's charming. For healthy eating that tastes phenomenal... THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!“

“The Melting Pot went above and beyond to accommodate a special meal for my (now) 11 year old son who was diagnosed with leukemia in November of 2023. I initially made a reservation for 2/6 (the day before his birthday). An assistant manager, Madeline, called me to inquire about my son's interests. I could tell she was planning something special for him! He had started the latest round of chemo the day before (2/5) and was not feeling well enough to go out the next day. The general manager, George, called me and left me a voicemail indicating that he'd like to bring fondue *to us* at no charge. I wasn't able to get back to him right away but instead I stopped in on Wednesday and was able to speak to him. I thanked him for his offer but asked if we could come in the next day instead. My son had stuffed animals, a balloon, and a newspaper of the things that happened on his birthday waiting for him when he arrived. Our server, Katie, made my son feel like royalty. The owner and general manager covered our meal and we used the money we would've spent to go to Dave and Busters afterward. Thank you to the entire team for making me feel seen and giving my son time away from being a cancer kid. You have made a difference in our lives!“

“Excellent Cajun wings and good service!!!“

“Everything I’ve tried so far has been absolutely delicious ❤️“

“This bakery has yummy vegan treats, from cookies, cupcakes and even “beef” jerky. It is a frequent stop of mine since I live in Lancaster. Pictured is a funfetti, double stuffed cookie (oreo inside). I would have taken a photo of my bf double stuffed chocolate chip cookie, but he ate it by the time we got back home.“

“The Grapevine is a beautiful place with a lot of parking. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the prices are average, the décor is pretty, the service is good, and the food is excellent. My only complaint is the bathroom and restaurant entry situation. I had to wait to get into the bathroom as people were standing to be seated, then I finally got into the bathroom and someone cut me off as I was putting down my jacket.“

“Childhood favorite and always stop when I’m back in town. Can’t decide between the creamy custard and the tart lemon ice? Get the artic swirl - custard and lemon ice mixed together, and of course whipped cream!!!Mom got her favorite hot fudge sundae with lots of whipped cream!“

“I have never been disappointed at New York beer project. They have amazing food! Their derby chicken sandwich is so good that I actually went back two days in a row! The staff is beyond friendly and out of recommended for anyone that wants to go and have a good time.“

“Walke in at noon and there was already a line, huge party all together. The friendly staff did a great job getting everyone served quickly. I ordered Birria and lengua tacos and a pork tamale. All were excellent, well portioned and delicious. The Lengua was tender and flavorful and the Birria was saucy and mildy spicy. Overall one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite with authentic food.“

“Looks are deceiving, just walk in and I promise you will not regret it! Great service great food local beers and wonderful atmosphere!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Super cool staff. Definitely recommend.“

I also saw baby seats and booster seatsWheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in or around the place including the bar. Plenty of room between tables to get around.“

“This is a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and homemade food. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that you go home smelling like cooking. The dining room is so comfortable and a real home town country feel. They are very popular and for good reasons.“

“Delicious food as always! And friendly staff :)“

“I have a lot of food allergies that often make it difficult for me to eat out. Thai Orchid Cafe was wonderful with taking the time to ask additional questions to clarify what I can and can’t eat. You can also tell that their ingredients are very fresh and was overall super delicious!!“
