    Charming Amish diner. Came for a late lunch or early dinner. Had the slow roasted turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes and Mac and Cheese. Thanksgiving came early! This is a popular restaurant so be prepared to wait for a seat at a table or the counter. Great friendly service.

    We are back in Lancaster and Katie's Kitchen is a must stop for us. When we walked in I was so glad we did not have to wait. The service is always great! I ordered the Western Omelette with your choice of bread. I'm thankful they offer gluten free toast and it was really good. Plus, You must try their strawberry jam on your table. It is so good! My husband order the Southern Omelette and added crispy bacon with the sausage gravy. He ask to try a sample of each gravy and they were both really good. If you have not stop in at this gem you are missing a treat.

    What a great mom and pop Amish diner. Came here for breakfast one morning and was not disappointed. Now the place gets crowded, so expect to wait. But once your seated the food comes out rather fast and is tasty. Everything we got was very good and had a slightly different take on traditional breakfast food. The sausage gravy was good and had a slight lemon zest taste. I also enjoyed the eggs and cornbeef hash. Kids enjoyed the pancakes and the coffee was nice and fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend if your visiting amish country! PS, there is a small playground outside, perfect for the kids to play on as you wait to get seated or after you eat.

    Every food ticket has a special religious note added by the server!

    Have had the pleasure eating lunch and dinner here. Amish owned and operated. All staff are extremely nice and welcoming. Turkey Reuben and chicken salad sandwiches are very good. Chicken pot pie is the non-Amish version of chicken and dumplings. Great restaurant to add to places to eat when visiting Lancaster County!

    Roast Beef over Brown Buttered Noodles

    One of our favorite restaurants in Amish Country. Located right near Strasburg and Sight and Sound. This place has FRIENDLY staff. They are very accommodating and will always put customers first. It gets crowded here, so be prepared to wait or go early! Get one of these 3 meals: Roast Beef over Brown Buttered Noodles, Pot Pie, Meatloaf. Prepare to indulge in the comfort food! The peanut butter spread is so good. Save room to take some home with you!

    Food was so delicious & Rebeca was an outstanding server. Apple dumpling was fantastic!

    This was the recommended place by the restaurant we were trying to get takeout but they were too busy for takeout orders. Also finding great reviews, I decided to come here to order takeout. Upon arrival, the place was also packed. I the place has a diner feel and is worked by a group of Amish young women. I was directed to the cashier counter to place takeout order. The gal was little frazzled but was friendly and eager to help. I placed a to go order for chicken salad sandwich, tuna salad sandwich, grilled haddock, meatloaf meal & a slice of carrot cake. Overall service is great and food was amazing. The only complaint was that in the midst of hurry, I discovered that my carrot cake was charged but was not packed. I was so disappointed since I paid $8 but did not get my good.

    Great Amish restaurant. Excellent service and food. It's all run and served and cooked by young Amish ladies. We highly recommend it.

    Wrap with tomato salsa

    Delicious food and pleasant staff! We come here a lot more than they want us too as we are a loud party of 14. But nonetheless they're the best place and one of our staples when we visit Lancaster !

    Awesome dining experience! We ordered our wraps prior to visiting the Strasbourg Railroad. It was about 5 minutes from the railroad. Great variety of options to chose from on the menu. We had the bbq beef wrap and the chicken cheese steak. Both were flavorful, delicious and reasonably priced. There was about a 45 minutes wait to get a table. The staff were very friendly as well! Awesome experience!

    The food was delicious--fresh, hearty, and clearly made from scratch. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. Just a heads-up: be prepared to wait. It's a popular spot, and things can move a little slower, especially during peak hours. Parking was easy, with plenty of space available, which is always a plus. Overall, a great experience if you're in the mood for comforting food, warm service, and a laid-back atmosphere. Just bring a little patience and an appetite!

    Do they take reservations or "call aheads"? I am thinking for a group of maybe 12 max.

    I believe they do for larger parties. Otherwise, no.

I looked on Yelp and quickly pivoted here and I'm glad I did! The woman behind the counter was very kind and personable to everyone who walked in, there were free cookies that they were testing out that customers could take, and the seating was limited but clean. The big windows give nice views out to the parking lot and the rolling hills beyond. I ordered a "Rancher" which was one of the hot sandwiches. A bit like a cheesesteak but with ranch dressing and bacon. The sandwich was ready in no time at all and tasted great! Could definitely see myself coming back next time I'm in the area.

Definitely a top choice if you come here. The sandwich tasted great. The main problem I have is that I am not a fan of their rolls. The rolls are very doughy and seemed like there was too much roll for the sandwich. The service was quick and fast, the lady at the front register was very kind. Great service is always a plus in my mind for a restaurant. The location was clean, easy parking, and setup nice on the inside with plenty of seating. The price per sandwich is a little bit expensive.

We were there for 30-45 minutes and she then finally brought out the cocktail menu. Not entirely sure I would come back.

    On our way back from a trip to NC and up to MA, we decided to stop in Lancaster for some lunch and…read moreshopping. My husband and I looked for the best BBQ places in the area and landed on The BBQ Barn. A small and cute little barn sits in the corner of the plaza (on the right of Target). We ordered chicken and rib dinners with an extra pulled pork sandwich (we ordered way too much but needed to try it all!!). Dinner plates come with Cole slaw, a dinner roll, potatoes, and a whoopie pie. There is seating outside. We both agreed that the chicken may have been the best we have ever had. It was seasoned so well and perfectly cooked. The ribs came with bbq sauce on the side. There was a line, but service was quick and efficient. The grills are right in front and you can see the cooking happening! Inside the barn, I could see them rolling out fresh pretzels. They also had homemade root beer, which was very good! After we finished eating, I couldn't help but grab a vanilla ice cream cone to share with my dogs. They agree too, best soft serve ice cream we have ever had. Since getting home, we have already talked about how we need to plan a trip back to Lancaster to get more BBQ and explore the area a bit longer.

    Important! The address listed in Yelp is wrong. The BBQ Barn is located in Lancaster on the north…read moreside of Lincoln Highway but is not visible from the road. Drive to the Target just west of the American Music Theatre and head to the far east side of the Target, driving back around the side of the building and the restaurant will be on your right. Watch for small signs directing you to the BBQ Barn. Review: Very good pulled pork sandwiches with lots of meat for a very reasonable price. Full meal is a great deal that includes three small grilled red potatoes, a small coleslaw, roll, whoopie pie, and drink for $12.50-$14.00 depending on your meat and beverage choice. They sell "homemade" root beer that I tried and it was good and tasted like the original drove in A&W root beer except it lacked carbonation. We had a sandwich plus one full meal for about $20 and left a small tip. Note that this is a casual place with outdoor seating only, similar to a food truck. Thankfully the picnic table seating is mostly in the shade. I do recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner and noticed local Amish eating there while we had lunch. today.
