    Rough around the edges, but one of my favorite places to come back to in Lancaster, PA. It's amazing how this place is always the same. Although a chain and not the best chain it always delivers and the best spot at 1 am

    I'm not a sweet breakfast person, so I opted for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich with a side of hashbrowns. The sandwich was okay, but I felt that the hashbrowns were a bit undercooked. Service was friendly and attentive. 2/5.

    Menu is different than other Waffle Houses. All the usual though.

    Spotless bathroom, excellent service, the coffee flows and the pecan waffle was delicious. I usually get the same thing at WH: pecan waffle, bacon, coffee. This was a very friendly team at this WH. We don't have these in NY so I wanted to come. This menu looked a bit different from the ones in Florida. I think it costs less! Very fresh and tasty. All you would expect and counter service gives you a free show of expert timing and teamwork.

    Who doesn't love Waffle House? You have to admire it for its tasty simplicity and dedication (open 24 hours). Sure, the booths are worn, and the grills look like they've been operating 24 hours nonstop (they have), but the staff is always friendly, the coffee is always hot, and the food is always made to order. My young son and I can eat here, with a TON of food, for under $20. My favorite? The carbs upon carbs in one meal. Mmm. This particular location is my local one, and the staff has always been very good to my son and me. He has a Waffle House paper hat, and they even gifted him a visor. He felt so special. We love having mommy and son lunch or dinner dates here!

    Double hash browns "all the way"

    Not sure how this happened, but I'm now a fan of Waffle House. Stumbled in at midnight on Halloween- it was loud, busy, full of obnoxious/intoxicated people in costume. If I were the cook, I'd have quit; If I were waiting tables, I'd have smacked someone. But instead, the staff delivered unbelievably yummy food- hot, fresh, & with a 1/2 smile. Ordered hash browns "all the way." Still dreaming about them. The texture was amazing and the cheese/chili/onions/gravy/jalapeños etc. sounds like it'd be too much. It was too much of a good thing, as I stuffed a double portion down my throat in record time. Had Pecan Waffle- it was a delight! Big, fluffy, with crumbled pecans over top. The food was served piping hot! I know fancy establishments that can't get that part right. Once in awhile u stumble across something where ur expectations are so low ur thrown back when it ends up delighting u. This was that. The menu is small, the surroundings a step below a diner, and the food nothing fancy, but I had a great meal, at a good price, at an hour when no one else was serving.

    Pros Great location Spacious Parking Lot Quick Food Service Fantastic tasting food once cooked properly Cons Dirty Restaurant (Dead bugs in corner of table, moth my size flying around, filthy floor in seating area, liquid splattered on wall, etc.) Waitress High as Hell, Forgetful and Rude. She was high high! Nodded twice !! Oh wait, let me share this highlight... My improperly made food came out on the appropriate sized plate. Once my food imperfection had to be fixed, she brought back Sandwich w/o condiment on a smaller plate. Sandwich was falling everywhere once I bit it. Once correction made w remaining item (hash browns), she brought them out overflowing on a small plate. I asked for 1 larger plate to combine food items and she told me to wait a second because she needed to figure out why I was asking. Baby Jesus Be the Fence !! That's only 1 of 3 stories I got!! I will never ever ever ever return!!

    Our server was great, very nice and courteous and attentive. She was probably the highlight of this experience. The bathroom floor was extremely sticky that I could hear each footstep I made, felt like I was stepping on a fly trap. As for the food, this was the weakest steak I've ever encountered from Waffle House. Both in side and flavor, or lack there if I should say. Unfortunately the hash browns weren't evenly cooked through. The hash browns were supposed to be scattered yet the top was like a burnt sheet of hash downs with a soggy inside. The waffles were also inconsistent being that some were dark brown and others were light yellow. The eggs were the star of the meal. I must say they got that part right. Ultimately it wasn't the worst Waffle House experience and the waitress and staff overall were so nice that I can't fail to mention them. But the chefs definitely need to tighten up.

    As far as Waffle Houses go, this is a pretty good one. We visited on a Sunday around noon. Waited only a couple minutes for a table to be bussed. Booths are on the small side but that's pretty standard for the chain. Menu is limited and basic but the food is decent and fast. No french fries for kids, but our son discovered that hash browns are an acceptable replacement. Chocolate and peanut butter chips are sprinkled on top of the waffles, not cooked inside. Still the same flavor though so not a big deal. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Not spotless but we've seen worse at higher rated establishments.

    Biscuits and gravy were super on point!

Classic music for a diner of that era look was being played. The food portions were large and delicious. I had a Cuban hotdog. It was enormous and unique.

I had a salad with the open face pot roast and mashed potatoes My wife had a cheesesteak with onion rings. While eating my salad my one paper napkin got a bit soiled- I asked for more napkins. Hot food came out- No napkin Fries instead of onion rings Empty salad plate left on table- I was just about done and finally my wife flagged the server down and asked for more napkins- Still no onion rings... By the time the cold onion rings arrived we were done!!! I might go back food was good enough but I will make sure I do not have the same server...

My 91 year old mother came here as a child with her dad in the '40s when they came to the city for doctor appts and she said it looks just the same. This place looks antiquated, and on the negative side I did not see a ramp or any handicap access. My mom was able to lift her walker up and down the 2 stone steps. The doors are heavy and the entrance narrow. The bathrooms could accommodate a wheelchair if the doors weren't so narrow. I imagine they have some kind of historical variance allowing them to be so inaccessible. Service was slow but with a smile. Servers were friendly and fellow diners chatty as well. Most food offerings are $10 or less. I ordered a blueberry pancake, plate sized and full of blueberries. I wanted to put butter on it but those hard little butter pats were not going to work. My mom also got pancakes. They were filling, not particularly yummy but considering our total bill was under $20 including iced teas I didn't complain. Some of the desserts looked yummy. Apparently there is an attached space for possibly a larger party but it was closed for construction. Otherwise it is pretty much booth space for 4 or the counter. I was glad we chose to stop in here if only for the nostalgia of it. Can't really see why we would go back. But inexpensive breakfast fare keeps a steady stream of regulars!

The friendly staffs and clean restaurants and the warmth of the interior decorations. Favorites meals: #1. Lobster bisque in a bowl is another must order soup for each visit, if they have it. Each bites of soup always got the lobster chunks. #2. Dinners roll are the best rolls, very soft and fresh, always served warm complete with a plate full of butter. #3. House salad as a side dish but the portions looks like an entree size, always served fresh all the times #4. meatballs casserole was delicious, the generous portions of meatballs, sauce and cheese filled the whole plate, and the garlic bread was super crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. We couldn't even finish everything and went home with so many leftovers. #5. Seafood jambalaya is another must try to order entree, the shrimps sizes are huge and all over the plates, also served in generous size. #6. Fish and chips is another must order entree, the fish was fresh and full of flavor on the inside and crispy and crunchy on the outside, complete with their famous french fries as the sides. It's perfect! #6. The last MUST order was the fried chicken, it's just the best fried chicken we ever had and never leave this diner without having these as our meal. No words to describe unless you tried it yourself. We will be back for more delicious food here. #parkcitydiner #dinerlancasterpa #preservefootprints

    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.
