I've visited this place twice now and usually I'm not too inspired to write a review, but my visit…read morelast night really showed how much I enjoy the general vibe and especially the food of this place. When you enter this place its at ground level and immediately you recognize you need to take the stairs up. Once you usher yourself up it opens up to two areas where you wait to be seated. The place is an older vintage like gastropub where the front is one bar and some seating, but on the backside is more open seating with where the band and another bar are situated. This place isn't meant to be for large groups, but could possibly accommodate groups of 6. The main bar which also next to the kitchen is an older vintage style bar and whisky's is nothing special but once you sit down and hear the music you settle in nicely. Service has always been courteous and prompt and the menu looks like there are a good assortment of choices. The two times I've been here I've ordered the mussels which includes great sauce and spread with seasoned ground meet. Was so yummy! The second time I came I tried the CHICKEN FRICASSEE. Man was that great! It includes 4 pieces of bread, chicken and the mushroom sauce. So good! Both times I had some of their assortment of single scoop ice-cream which in this area, something about the milk from their amish cows is so creamy. All that said, this is one of my fav places to come enjoy a glass of wine and food. Oh and Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday's they have some instrumental band playing too.

Such a great food find in Lancaster!…read more Friendly crew here! Lots of hellos and the fun Route 66 decor is very welcoming. They have several tables and lots of different options on their menu! Casual shop with brisk business. Walk in, order, and pay. When your food is ready, they call out your order. Everything is made fresh and the prices are actually very reasonable for the quality of food. My cole slaw in the Nashville fried chicken was very fresh and delicious. Fries were fresh, and perfectly seasoned with salt. All their burgers and sandwiches have the Route 66 sauce. Don't skip it, if it's served with it, just go with the flow! Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich $8.49 Double cheeseburger $8.99 Fried chicken tikka masala sandwich $8.99 Large home cut fries $5.99 They take credit cards. Can't wait to come back!

Smash burgers, tasty and fulfilling. This is your sign, go to Route 66.

Ordered drinks while looking at the menu. As we ordered our top 2-3 choices were sold out. Guess that's a good thing if you were there before us! Limited menu with some eclectic pairings. There wasn't a single menu item that I felt was a slam dunk for my palette. I think the eclectic menu pushes people to few things and they run out. Would go back but frustrating to get to the point of ordering to find many items unavailable.

Dienner's simply provides incredible value and quick service to anyone in the area. It gives you…read morethe option of eating from a self-serve buffet or a-la-carte. We chose the buffet and were glad we did. While the food was generally good but not great, it has good variety and all for less than $20. Salad options were fresh and the roasted chicken adds clean protein with pretty good taste. I recommend the dinner rolls with the chicken as well. Some traditional Amish dishes were available that I didn't care for but others might. The desserts were my favorite, including the pumpkin cake and the apple crumble. They also offer a soft-serve station and a variety of sweet pies.

After an Amish tour, my group stopped at Dienner's Country Restaurant in Soudersburg, and it was a…read morefantastic dining experience. If you're looking for a hearty meal at a reasonable price, this place is hard to beat. A few highlights from our visit: The buffet is the best value, offering unlimited access to a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. Both hot and cold buffet options are available, so there's something for everyone. Dessert is included and features options like pie and soft serve ice cream. The food tasted fresh, homemade, and consistently well-stocked. We left incredibly full and satisfied. Other things worth noting: Plenty of parking available in the rear lot. Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. Friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. Despite arriving with a party of five, we were seated in about 10 minutes. Overall, Dienner's delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a Pennsylvania Dutch buffet: fresh comfort food, generous portions, great service, and excellent value. Whether you're visiting the Lancaster area or finishing up an Amish tour, it's a great place to sit down for a filling meal. I'd happily return on a future trip.

What a fun spot for drinks, food, and games!…read more It was incredibly hot outside when we visited, so walking into a place with strong, ice-cold A/C was a huge bonus. Definitely appreciated that! The drinks were well-made, and there was a great selection of games to choose from. Getting coins is easy too--you can purchase them directly from the bartender The service was excellent throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, professional, and friendly, and I also enjoyed their creative and fun drink menu This is definitely a place worth checking out. Beyond the arcade games, they also have N64 games and bowling, making it a great destination for a night out with friends or a fun outing with family!

The space includes a full-service restaurant and bar, a retro arcade with more than 40 games, and a six-lane bowling alley. The menu has vegan and gluten-free options. One of their bartenders won first place at the VeloCity cocktail competition. There's also an ice cream bar on site with its own hours. The arcade has skeeball, an original 1990s X-Men cabinet, House of the Dead, Rampage, and other classic games. Bowling lanes are separate from the arcade area. They also host private events. Parking is available next door at the North Queen Street Garage. Worth checking their hours before heading over since they're closed Monday and Tuesday. Good spot for dinner, drinks, arcade games, and bowling in one place.

Another very overdue review (kindergarten teacher life! ), but this one is especially special…read morebecause Bert and the Elephant became part of our wedding story long before our wedding day. About a year before our wedding, my husband and I were exploring Lancaster as a potential wedding location. While walking down the street, I spotted a giant pink elephant. For those who don't know me, Delirium is my all-time favorite beer, and its logo is a pink elephant, so of course, it immediately caught my attention. When we walked inside, and I realized it was a Belgian beer bar and restaurant, I was absolutely ecstatic. Bert, the owner, noticed how excited we were, and we started talking. Bert is incredible! He is so knowledgeable about all of his different beers and cares about every single detail. He even has a different glass for almost every beer because, to him, the details matter. But what really stood out was how he treats people. Bert makes you feel like family. Before we left that day, he even gifted me a little ceramic pink elephant straight from his decor. I was absolutely giddy, and I still have that little elephant proudly displayed in my home today. I knew right then and there that we had to have our after-party at Bert and the Elephant. And we did! We were able to rent out the entire place for two hours after our wedding. We had an open bar for the first hour and delicious finger foods for a late-night snack. I'm sure you're thinking, "That must have been insanely expensive," but it wasn't! And it was the perfect location, right down the street from our hotel, so everyone could walk there easily. Our wedding day fell during a heatwave, and unfortunately, the heat definitely affected how many people could make it to the after-party. Everyone was exhausted from the day, but Bert and his staff still made sure that everyone who came had an amazing time. They were welcoming and attentive, making the night feel so special. Bert and the Elephant turned out to be the perfect way to end our wedding night. What started as a random pink elephant catching my eye on a walk through Lancaster turned into one of my favorite wedding memories. We are so grateful to Bert and his staff for helping us end the night with great drinks, delicious food, and even better memories.

The restaurant isn't large, but it is set up to not feel confined. The Belgium beer selection is amazing and I wish we could have stayed longer to sample more than one drink.

It would be perfect for a home bar!

There was quite a crowd at the bar, which I think may have been attributed to happy hour as it seemed to clear out about halfway through our dinner. We had the Irish soda bread and in order of chips for a starter. The soda bread was served with butter and jam. It was pretty good. The chips appeared to be hand, cut, and well fried. They had a very good taste of them. They were served with three sauces, two of which were cream based and were pretty tasty. The third was supposed to be a curry sauce, but it was extremely thin and did not have a great deal of flavor. I have the bangers and mash and my wife had a steak. Both were very good. Service was OK but the bartender who poured my second Guinness could probably take a remedial lesson in how to pour a Guinness as it was definitely not a proper pour. All in all if I were in the area again, I would probably come here.

Having a Guinness is always nice and, my shepherd's pie was pretty good, but the fish and chips was as bad as it gets and it was all a bit overpriced. The shepherd's pie had a nice presentation and good taste, although perhaps a bit low on meat. The fish and chips looked like someone's first ever attempt at making it. A greasy mess with more batter than fish. Service was slow as well.

After looking around at other places we decided on this one and man we almost made a huge mistake. We had the Shrimp bisque and chips and salsa to start out and they were both excellent. The wife got the barbacoa tacos and I got the pork belly tacos. We swapped one each and they were both so good. Amazingly good! I gotta be honest, we're from Louisiana and so we eat a LOT of good food. After some disappointing meals in the DC area this was a welcome stop! Highly recommend!!
