I personally ordered the beef brisket, the fried chicken with a side of Mac and cheese and seasonal vegetables. First the good, the fried chicken was fried perfectly with a nice crispy and so moist. The best part of the meal. The sides were good with a cheesy Mac and cheese. I was disappointed with the brisket. Although it had good flavor, it was super dry and those who ordered the brisket at our table agreed. We also ordered the whoopie pies which were disappointing as well. Would I come back...yes but would not order the brisket or dessert.

Finished with their jello salad thing that was so country delicious. The downside was the service. It wasn't busy and the server left all the empty dishes on our table even through dessert. We weren't offered drink refills once. They didn't check on us at all except to move the meal along. The server seemed to not have the answer to some basic questions along the way as well. If it were busy I could excuse this but she was 'busy' talking to the busser girls who were all hanging in the corner not doing anything. We were in the area visiting for the weekend and come to the area often but probably won't be visiting new holland family restaurant again.

It is owned and operated by the Moravian Communities which operates a CCRC or continuing care retirement community; The Owl's Nest is amongst a neighborhood of independent homes. Our server was friendly, our food was attractively presented and was good. My coworker got a brick oven pizza and took more than half home - not because she didn't like it but because she doesn't eat much. I had an Owl's Nest Burger which had a great flavor. The fries tasted slightly stale to me. Both our Cokes were terribly flat but we stopped a server who promptly changed the soda bag and we got fresh, ice cold, and full-flavor Coke that was delicious. We also appreciated the thick, heavy drink glasses and the linen napkins. I didn't love my food but I'd come back to try something else. Our table and the chairs, especially, were extremely comfortable with thick, comfortable seat cushions and it's a pleasant dining experience. My coworker is aware I'm a yelper and I asked her what she'd give our experience on a one-to-five star scale and we both agreed we'd give a four. It's worth noting that you cannot tip your individual server. Rather, there's a tip box that is provided and any contributions are shared among all non-salaried employees at the holidays.

Last night of vacation in the Lancaster PA area, we walked in to the Old Hickory Grill for supper…read more As we're traveling with friends and family, we had a large group of 16 people. This was not a problem for the restaurant, as they put us in a back room and strung together a number of tables for us. The decor is a little dated, but it's very clean. Everything about this restaurant reminded me of the old YOUR HOST restaurants which all closed in the 1970s. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress named Leola. We found her to be extremely kind, competent, and service oriented. She managed to wait on our entire table, and her attention to detail was flawless. The menu is a multi page affair, as is typical with Greek restaurants. I ordered a grilled Reuben with french fries, and a little cup of very delicious coleslaw. I was completely satisfied with this dinner. Found that it was extremely well priced. Others at our table started with a bowl of soup. Everyone enjoyed the soup course. Juicy burgers were served on soft brioche buns. Pot roast and mashed potatoes dinners were so beautifully plated, diner style. This is a very economical restaurant with a nice menu. There's something for everyone!

Introduction:…read more Representing 2018 in alphabet series, O is for On Orange. The letter O only has 5 of the 8 possible years represented in the alphabet series. Interestingly, 2 of them are in Lancaster County, PA. This was prior to my parents moving to Lancaster in 2021. In March 2018, my girlfriend of that time & I took a day trip to Lancaster. I lived in Montgomery County, Maryland (near DC) at the time, and we were meeting up with a friend who was living in New Jersey kind of in the middle. We agreed to meet at On Orange at 12 PM on that Sunday, March 25 since we were driving from far away, and I think they were doing a day trip too, but possible they stayed a night in town, not sure. Also, On Orange closes at 1 PM too, so even more reason to be punctual. My g/f of then was notoriously late & took a long time to get ready. She was taking too long to get ready, and I knew we needed to leave if we even had a chance of making it on time. After a while I said I don't want to do this, but I will leave without you & meet my friend (& his girlfriend). I started the car and texted you have 1 minute to come out, and if you aren't out, I'm leaving without you. My timer reached 0, and I slowly was driving off, but I saw her shuffling with her coat and what have you leaving, so I waited. We got in the car, and I rushed off. If that weren't bad enough, my g/f said we needed to stop at her bank to get cash. Of course, there was none right within route, but saw a location right off I-83 in northern MD, Hunt Valley, but we wasted more time to get off the freeway, for her to go to her ATM, & get back on the freeway when we were running significantly late. I said we are running significantly late as it is, so why are we wasting more time. She claimed in case there was something she wanted to buy in Lancaster, but that was not the primary purpose, but I'll get to that at the end. I was panicking on the significant late, and that the restaurant closes at 1, and I drove above 100 mph at times on I-70, which I think was the only time I've ever gone that fast on 70, and maybe only 4 times ever in my life reaching that speed. Experience with the Restaurant: This is street parking around here, which was free meters on Sunday. We got a decent parking spot a block away. We walked in at 12:50 PM, which was 50 minutes LATE and 10 minutes before On Orange's closing time of 1 PM. My friend & his girlfriend were already done eating. He said that they had their stomach set for eating at 12, and there was pressure to order since it's not a huge place and pretty busy. I was annoyed with my friend for not waiting for us, but I get it because let's be honest, my g/f fault on that one. Server was cordial, and my g/f & I quickly ordered. Food came out quickly. We ate quickly, and my friend & his g/f watching us eat. Food was delicious, and they were quick, but to be fair, they were closing in 10 minutes, so they were motivated to get out of there. I got a pancake & egg dish as I recall. This was a top notch brunch. In spite of the negative experience of being so late because of my g/f, the experience at the restaurant was excellent. Conclusion: After brunch, we looked around downtown, Amish Farm (see my 5-star review of them written in April 2018), etc. and was overall a nice day with the 3 of them albeit very cold. After we left, I took the back road from I-83 all the way back to Germantown, MD where she lived to see something different and to save a little gas too since it's pretty direct going that way. My g/f was complaining about it taking so long getting back. I knew she was meeting up with a friend that night. But what I later realized, she wanted to stop at an ATM that morning really because she needed cash to pay that friend for cannabis that night. So, she disrespected everyone's time for this. I guess on a positive at least she wasn't cheating on me with that guy and really was just for pot. In conclusion, I thought On Orange was top notch, and they were accommodating to our time schedules.
