“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.”

“This is one of the finest restaurants in Lancaster County and is always a great dining experience! They have an incredible beverage selection of specialty cocktails - absolutely try the Paper Plane if you are a bourbon fan. The appetizers are fantastic - my wife enjoyed the Gem Salad, and our friends raved about the shrimp special offered last evening. For the main course - two of our party had the Bronzino and expressed that it was prepared perfectly with the Maitre'd removing the bones table side - a very nice touch! i had the Shrimp Spaghettini - fresh shrimp in a savory pomodoro sauce. We highly recommend dining here - the staff is very professional, yet friendly and thorough. You are greeted warmly upon arrival and made to feel that they truly appreciate your dining with them. The atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for conversation.”
Cupcakes • $$
“Thank you so much for offering vegan cupcakes! Due to this, my first grade daughter was able to take in a treat to celebrate her birthday! The birthday treats need to be store bought, and it is so hard to find something fun and vegan. The entire class loved the cupcakes! My daughter said "this was the best school birthday yet!"”

“The sesame chicken 🐔 bowl was really delicious with accompaniments of several peppers, pineapple, snap peas, grains, spinach and sesame sauce. In fact it was so good and hearty I could only eat 1/2 the bowl and shared it with my husband. He got Korean bbq beef and the beef some pieces were a little tougher than he wouldn’t like and he said it was a little more heat then he preferred but that’s just his opinion someone else might like the spice. Overall we would definitely come back as we enjoyed the fresh food, veggies and the better healthier choices as we are trying to adapt to a healthier lifestyle”

What a great local gem. I’m excited to try other items on their menu as well. The owner/manager stopped by our table and was very friendly. He said he grows his own herbs right outside - you don’t get fresher than that! Great job to all - my experience was exceptional. Keep it up!”

“The menu selection and preparation was, as always, perfect. We had three generations at lunch, and each found something wonderful from the menu. Everyone delighted in the dessert options from the bakery case. Our out-of-town visitors were charmed and impressed. The bathroom was disappointingly dirty with no hook for a bag. Our server had exceptionally long nails with embellishments that did not appear sanitary.”

The cast members were amazing and I must so oh so brave performing in this protection. 🤣 we really enjoyed our visit.”

“I love jb dawsons. Their food is delicious. I would highly recommend eating there. That being said I was highly disappointed today. I am a single mom on a tight budget. I wanted to enjoy lunch with my friend and daughter today. We chose in Dawson’s because they are not only delicious but they offer free kids meals on Sundays! That’s about the only way I can afford to go to be honest . We were excited to eat there today! We get seated and the waitress tells us kids aren’t free today because it’s Father’s Day?! Like seriously ? So we had to leave … cuz I simply couldn’t afford it. I’m raising my daughter alone and wanted to enjoy a good meal on the only day/time I could afford to and we couldn’t because of this. Just highly disappointed in them today.”

Bar • $$
“Bert and The Elephant has great service, but the vibe is what really makes it special. It truly feels like you’re in Belgium! The food and drinks are amazing, and to top it off, I also found out that Bert’s and my family are from the same neighboring town on an island. Then to make it better me and him were born in the same town in a whole different country across the world, such a small world. Bert is a great guy, but his explanation about the beers, the technique behind the foam and how to enjoy it was mind blowing!! Jess was soooo good as well! Can’t wait to come back!”

Hamburger • $
“Where to start. We have probably driven by this place dozens of times as we pass through Lancaster back to home in Maryland. We were looking for a place to grab dinner and saw this on Yelp (sorry Tripadvisor). Wow! There is a fairly limited menu of either burgers, cheesesteaks or chicken dishes. But who needs a million choices when what they do, they do amazingly. We got the single patty burgers. You can go up to four, yes, four. We also ordered them with the fried cheese curd, which is a patty of mozzarella cheese that's deep fried and put on the burger. Did I say "yummy!" yet? Made with a fresh beef patty and put on a buttered bun, it was soooo good! The burger was just absolutely delicious. Best burger I've had in ages, hands down. And where can you get a fresh made burger for $5.99? I mean really, $5.99. The fried cheese curd added $2.25 but well worth it for still less than $8.50. We also ordered a side of fries and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were just how I like them with a crispy panko style coating. They were great! Again, best onion rings I've had in a long time, if not forever. We barely touched the hand cut fries due to filling up on the burger and onion rings, but they were also good. We got the Route 66 sauce on the burgers and a cup to dip the onion rings in. Again, delicious. Note that if you are looking for bacon on your burger, this is a Halal restaurant and there is none. I'm a big fan of bacon on my burger, but you won't need it, trust me. This is definitely a place we will be coming back to. A bit of warning that parking may be a little challenging for folks not used to driving in a city and inside the place is pretty tight. We did not have to wait for a table, but I imagine there could be a wait at times. But it would be well worth any wait!!”

“Such a great experience! Our family has all different preferences and dietary needs and all five of us LOVED what we had.

“I have eaten here many of times. The food is always so good. I got two pizza's last night and it was really hard to eat because it had a burnt taste to it. I had gotten two pizza's and they both tasted the same. A little disappointing being I have always had great pizza from here. The burnt taste for me was so bad. Felt like I wasted $40 on pizza. I still give 4 stars because of past experiences.”
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
“Service was a bit slow, but nothing upsetting by any means. Fries were subpar for a diner-esque restaurant, but otherwise the food was fine. A bit too much fajita veggies on their chicken fajita quesadilla, but that is probably just my opinion.
Otherwise service was great, very friendly (no pun intended). As always, the ice cream was the star of the meal.”

It is located to the right of the convenience store at the Sunoco station which is also next to the Freeze And Frizz ice cream parlor. The food is excellent and served quickly. The price is very reasonable compared to the high cost of eating out now. I had the pancake breakfast. My pancake was the size of a hubcap.

“This restaurant is extremely busy and noisy, but the food is good. The wait is at least 40 minutes to 1 hour and that's even if you put your self on their waitlist ahead of time, which I highly recommend! Once seated, we were very lucky to get an amazing server, who was absolutely wonderful. We told him how long we waited and that we were going to a show and didn't have a lot of time to wait for our food because of the wait for a tale and going to the show and all. He immediately brought out our drinks and put in our food order which was at our table in less than 15 minutes! Impressive! If you don't mind a long wait to be seated and noise from the crowd, the food was good! Not sure that I would return, and will probably explore other options, especially if attending a show or, maybe go very early.”

We declined and she quickly got us boxes and our checks. The girl at the gelato- not pleasant at all. I sampled two, decided on 1 and then she says to me “the blue mat is down by the bar”. ?? I replied, what am I supposed to do with that. Apparently that is where you now pay for gelato which is not where I paid when I was there 3 months ago. She was rude to previous customer too.”

“In business for nearly thirty years, Lancaster Brewing Company has the brewpub concept down pat. The atmosphere is casual (albeit potentially fairly loud), and the dining area offers a view of the brewery tanks. Speaking of the beer, there are quite a few varieties to choose from – everything from nitro stouts to peanut butter ales — and LBC offers flights for those who want to try it all. The food selections are equally impressive. While you can find the requisite wings/burger/pizza here, LBC also defies expectations by offering up white chili or a chicken, leek, and lager pie.
My wife and I split an order of teriyaki fried cauliflower, a braided soft pretzel, and a burger meister and found the food to be very good. The cauliflower featured thick breading and a sweet teriyaki glaze. I could have eaten an entrée’s worth of it and have been satisfied. The pretzel was warm and pulled apart easily. Rather than being accompanied by separate cheese and mustard dips, its partner was a blend of beer cheese and mustard, strongly flavored but tasty if you don’t mind mustard. The burger featured fresh ground bratwurst, something that will leave you wondering where it was all your life. The accompanying fries were natural-cut, salty, and crisp.
While our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning of the meal, she vanished toward the end, and we were in for a wait to get our checks. LBC isn’t cheap for what it offers - $13 for the cauliflower, $16 for the burger – but the portions are at least sizeable.
If you want good beer, good food, and a dash of the unexpected, Lancaster Brewing Company is a very appealing option as long as you have the patience for high volume and a bit of a wait.”

Bubble Tea • $$
“First time I ever had boba was out of a truck in New York, I got the coconut boba milk tea, and let me tell you. As soon as I came to this unassuming shop in the park city mall I got the most pleasant smack in the face of nostalgia ever. The staff is great, friendly and extremely polite and punctual. The tea was cold and creamy, boba wasn’t too mushy and wasn’t too hard, super refreshing for a walk through the mall. If the mall owners ever remove this vendor I would have no clue what to do, THIS IS ‘THE’ PLACE TO GO FOR BOBA (at least that I know of within southeast PA haha)”

“We always loved this place, but recently the food has been bland. We ordered today and the food is always good but the food we ordered had no taste and the soup I ordered was wrong. They told me they have the food I wanted but the boss wasn't there to cook it. The server told us they have new cooks, and last week my sister went there and told us the food was bad. Once again the server and service is always great. But the food has taken a downhill fall....”

“We went for the Grand Opening today and I have to say the staff was WONDERFUL. I would love to shout out a few super great people we had the pleasure of interacting with today: the first two were the young men running the pumpkin patch. You could tell they got bombarded but they handled it so well and were super nice. The second is the two young men who were running the basketball game & hit the cans game near the Whip ride. My two sons played both games and the guys there were so incredibly sweet. The third was Greyson, who was running the Photo Booth inside Merlin’s Mayhem - just amazing service and such a great personality. We have been pass holders for the past three years and this was the best day we’ve had!”

“Once I found Jessica the server, I make it a point to ask for her. Her service is both pleasant and efficient. I often anonymously treat another table and I have found her to be extremely discreet. Food is food and although Red Lobster has a wonderful selection—I’d probably follow Jessica wherever she would land if she would leave.”

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.”

“I have read all the reviews others have written and I agree whole heartedly with the great food, the wonderful friendly and family oriented atmosphere, and the extremely attentive service . I have been coming every week with my mentor and awesome friend to get caught up and to break bread together over the past year. The owners are so kind and friendly. I truly believe their mission there is to provide a wonderfully wholistic family dining experience that leaves the customer feeling cared for.”

I lived with my daughter and grandchildren right across from them on Howard Ave from Nov.til March and when we unexpectedly and suddenly had to move back to carbon county this place was the saddest part of leaving. Great people and best hoagies I literally ever tasted! I actually made my daughter drive back there out of our way just to visit them and order hoagies! The Blonde family ,Jenny,Karen,Molly and Baby Brooks miss you guys and hope to see you again some time!”

“AMAZING PLACE!!! MORE AMAZING PEOPLE!!! I am a tour operator and had a group at Tanger Outlet Lancaster. Long and the short... I had a client in need of seat, and an outlet for his portable O2 in a standing room only Butter & Bean. So, one of the staff hears my plea for help and Jessie, the owner comes out. She makes arrangements for not only a seat near an outlet but grabs an extension cord to allow for some movement. The patrons in the entire cafe made way for Jessie and my client. I ask if we can just chill for an hour or so, till he gets charged up and she wouldn't hear of it. "Stay as long as you need to", she said. So, I bought my client a coffee and a sandwich, which was amazing, bought some coffees for those that made space for him, and invited the entire bus group to join us and support Butter and Bean. And we sure did. The food and coffee were great, but the spirit, the vibe and the whole experience I needed to share. Oh, did I mention it was Black Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 1230p!!! Who does that??? Well, Butter and Bean does! So, get great coffee and really good eats, and support a business that we will proudly support in every way.”

“My fiance came here tonight for the first time. To me this was way better than what we have in York. Food was hot! That is a huge pet peeve of mine. Alot of different things. I am a diabetic and I wanted more then salad. Shrimp, fish and veggies. The only issue I had was the kids that the parents let run around. Not the restaurants fault. Will be back. Food was good!!”

“Where to start. We have probably driven by this place dozens of times as we pass through Lancaster back to home in Maryland. We were looking for a place to grab dinner and saw this on Yelp (sorry Tripadvisor). Wow! There is a fairly limited menu of either burgers, cheesesteaks or chicken dishes. But who needs a million choices when what they do, they do amazingly. We got the single patty burgers. You can go up to four, yes, four. We also ordered them with the fried cheese curd, which is a patty of mozzarella cheese that's deep fried and put on the burger. Did I say "yummy!" yet? Made with a fresh beef patty and put on a buttered bun, it was soooo good! The burger was just absolutely delicious. Best burger I've had in ages, hands down. And where can you get a fresh made burger for $5.99? I mean really, $5.99. The fried cheese curd added $2.25 but well worth it for still less than $8.50. We also ordered a side of fries and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were just how I like them with a crispy panko style coating. They were great! Again, best onion rings I've had in a long time, if not forever. We barely touched the hand cut fries due to filling up on the burger and onion rings, but they were also good. We got the Route 66 sauce on the burgers and a cup to dip the onion rings in. Again, delicious. Note that if you are looking for bacon on your burger, this is a Halal restaurant and there is none. I'm a big fan of bacon on my burger, but you won't need it, trust me. This is definitely a place we will be coming back to. A bit of warning that parking may be a little challenging for folks not used to driving in a city and inside the place is pretty tight. We did not have to wait for a table, but I imagine there could be a wait at times. But it would be well worth any wait!!”

“Today was my first time at Freshly Greek and I will definitely be back! The food was incredibly tasty with fresh ingredients. The pita and souvlaki chicken were out of this world! What a great local gem. I’m excited to try other items on their menu as well. The owner/manager stopped by our table and was very friendly. He said he grows his own herbs right outside - you don’t get fresher than that! Great job to all - my experience was exceptional. Keep it up!”

We were surprised when our birthday guest received a free piece of cheesecake and a card! And I loved my flourless brownie, as well! Thank you Bonefish Grill, for an enjoyable evening.”
