    Food was very good, plenty to choose from. Reasonably priced. Service was great. Restaurant was decorated very nicely and lots of room.

When we arrived at around 7:30PM on a Monday night, the creamery and cafe was bustling with a long line. We were able to sample a few flavors, and then settled on the tiramisu and shoofly pie. Both were excellent, and the prices were highly affordable. There were so many appealing flavors of ice cream, not to mention other dessert items. Besides the rich, creamy, and wonderfully satisfying ice cream, we appreciated that the overall establishment had ample seating and a fantastic playground for our young kids. My toddlers loved swinging and playing in the toy tractor structure until way past dark. Compared to other local creameries in the area, Fox Meadow has the benefit of being open until relatively late. It appears that Fox Meadow Creamery has really expanded its business and now sells wholesale at local grocery stores. That said, there are of course more options and a better experience at the creamery itself.

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.

The Burnt ends appetizer was the best I have ever had. The meat was super tender and the white horseradish was so good on it we bought 12oz to take home. Honestly that could have been my dinner it was that good. The pulled pork was good it passed my husband's test since he's from NC and still looking for one like home. The spaetzle was amazing, and as good as my mother in law made. Well better. And she's German. Such a great find. It will be on our list every-time we come back to Lancaster.

    This review is based off the pre-prepared/grocery side of the store (although we will CERTAINLY be…read moreback for the restaurant side.) While in town, we wandered in wishing we had already grabbed some baked goods earlier in the day. And with a mission to acquire some meat for the grill later in the day. Immediately we were met with a variety of whoopie pies (we got a traditional one and cookie one, both delicious), and most of all the BEST cinnamon roll we have ever feasted on. Not only was it tremendous but it was perfectly gooey, and the buttercream (or at least that's how it tasted) frosting in lieu of traditional icing blew it out of the water. We also grabbed some chicken bacon burgers which we grilled up and really enjoyed. Just wished the patties were initially bigger. We ended up putting 2 and 2 (out of the 4) together to make burgers which would actually survive the grill. In general the selection is everything you'd imagine in Amish country combined into one little place. Prices were excellent, quality was great. Definitely stop in!

Perusing Yelp, I saw Stoltzfus (a local last name that was mentioned by our buggy guide) and it was a deli/restaurant- you had me at meat! You order at a walk up counter, get a buzzer, wait as they make it fresh, get buzzed, and pick your order up. Plenty of clean seating is available. The Philly cheesesteak was awesome! Lots of meat, tender but substantial roll, and hot! I got it sauced - this was new for me. I was thinking cheese sauce, but it was a red sauce. I loved it regardless ( my daughter wasn't as happy - not because it tasted bad, but she wasn't expecting it). We didn't have to wait to order, but once we were eating-the line was easily 25-30 deep. The eating section is called Amos' Place. The meat section is Stoltzfus Meats. A wonderland of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated meats and all the accompanying side dishes! There is also a very good selection of baked goods, spices, and munchies. Oh, the white root beer was good! I will definitely be back!

The food was really good. My husband said the salmon was amazing. My chicken Parmesan was more like a fried chicken breast. It was very good but very thin. I did not taste any Parmesan cheese in the crust and was only given a few cold slices of shaved Parmesan on top. It would've been much better if the cheese had been melted. Our server was very polite. It did take a while for us to get recognized after we sat down and to get refills. But I would definitely go there again. The prices were very reasonable, much cheaper than I expected-under $25 for each entree. You also get a basket of bread. The portion sizes were very generous. I recommend this for a nice evening out without kids. Very nice place to eat with good food.
