Oooh Bananas Foster is on the board and their homemade, fudgy chocolate cake and of course - Ice Cream!! Oh heck, I'll have what I usually get: scrambled eggs, rye toast, bacon, hashbrowns, a side of cake (cause it's that good) and a shared scoop of oatmeal raisin cookie ice cream. Our waitress was lovely. Our food came out, surprisingly quick and the coffee/tea refills, were constant. Udder Choice, did you just serve me cold, lumpy hard eggs (as if sitting on the counter for 30 minutes) and bacon, that had been sitting around for too long. I believe you did and I'm not happy about that. I made a special trip for this occassion and I ended up at McDonald's, afterwards.

We were recently in the area for our son's wedding. I desperately wanted to find a place that made…read moregood dried beef gravy over toast, a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. We saw this diner and dedicated to stop. I had my doubts judging a book by its cover, so I opened up Facebook to check reviews. The general consensus was that the food is good, but the service needed work. So, considering I can't eat service but I can eat good food, we went in. The first lady to greet us did so with a big smile. She was friendly, helpful and kind. Our waitress, Jess, followed soon after. She too came with a smile and a greeting and she listened closely while my wife detailed her food allergies. She was genuinely concerned that my wife would be able to safely eat her meal and took detailed observation of her needs. Me? I got what I was looking for. I found my dried beef gravy over toast and enjoyed that with a side of hashbrowns and sausage links. The sausage was an up charge, but that was fine. It was good and a healthy serving. Sausage was not too spicy but not bland either. The dried beef gravy was a little thicker than I am used to, but it had good flavor, such as I enjoy. Orange juice was actually sweet. It wasn't that sour diner stuff you usually get at such places. Jess came back to our table frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. She was very outgoing and we talked for a little. She celebrated with us about our son's wedding and congratulated us. The meal was good. The service was good. I came close to a four star review over cleanliness. This is clearly an old diner and the floors were stained and a bit greasy. I believe they were probably mopped, but they should probably be stripped and cleaned professionally. The floor was pretty grimy. Not filthy with food, just greasy. Maybe it's a diner thing. The tables were well stocked with a wide range of everything from creamers and sugar to condiments. The booths were roomy and accommodated my size. The bathrooms were barely acceptable. I know people can make a mess of a bathroom, so I always try to grade on a curve, but the men's room was pretty dirty. The mirror was covered in hard water stains, the trash can was overflowing and the floor was dirty. I spared my reader a picture of the urinal, but it was pretty bad. I almost bumped it down a star for bathrooms. The windows in the diner also appear to be water damaged, giving it a worn out look from inside. Not material to the food or service though. Parking is ample. ADA spots are available. Overall I'd say quality of food was five. Service was five. Cleanliness was four stars. If you're looking for something nice, this isn't it. If you're looking for nostalgia or grandma's cooking, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place to grab a decent bite to eat and run, it is a solid contender any day.

The "new" Cloister Restaurant has a new ramp, new exterior, and a new dining room. The menu is extensive with some of the old Pennsylvania Dutch offerings still available. Liver and onions was not on the menu but is available. You just have to ask for it. My vegetarian friend loved their in house veggie burger patty. I ordered ham loaf, not bad, with a side of apple filling. The apples were not in evidence and the taste was rather bland with a mushy texture smothered in brown gravy. Will not get again. The other 4 in our party of 5 ate everything and enjoyed it! Service was good, unsweet tea was good, restrooms clean, establishment nicely furnished. Parking is good and ramp is great at the entrance. Overall a 4.5 rating!

My wife got their regular burger and it was cooked to her liking. Eventhough it was not cooked how I prefer, it still tasted good! The fries tasted very very good! I love a shoestring fry! Unfortunately, they charge an extra 6 dollars to upgrade from chips to fries with their burger. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. This was a very good bang for your buck. Homemade and handbreaded, they were massive. You get two for 8 dollars. The prices here are very high. To put it in perspective, if you go here and get two burgers, upgrade to fries for both burgers, and get two waters, your bill is going to be $48 dollars plus tax.... The decor and scenery in here is incredible! It looks awesome. The seating is very limited. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. We went at 430 and about half the tables were blocked off for reservations. Would definitely like to come back here and try different items, every dish that went by looked delicious!

CUSTOMERS DON'T COME HERE!!! I PAID for EVERYTHING I used so don't EVER call me a thief!!!…read more I'm extremely disappointed by the way they handled this as you can see the TEXT I received from Cocalico Coffee accusing me of stealing because I added some cream to my latte and added four Splenda packets. I have never used or took any syrups from this establishment, I don't even use syrups, too much sugar!! I never even took extra Splenda or napkins. The MANY times I've been in there now I feel like I'm singled out and have been being watched the entire time. Why?? Creepy to be quite honest! I feel violated!! If there was a concern about how I was customizing my drink or about the amount of cream or sweetener I used, I would have been perfectly willing to discuss it. However, being told that using a small amount of cream and four Splendas is "considered stealing" AT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT made me feel incredibly disrespected and unnecessarily accusatory. I have been a customer and have supported this business for quite awhile, so receiving a message that essentially labels me a thief over this I'm disgusted. The bracelets I bought I cut up as well, "self care club" and "can't steal my joy" seems hypocritical to wear. So they are in the garbage. Put anything behind the counter if you want to measure each drop and packet. Don't forget a dropper. Customers deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. I hope management will reconsider how situations like this is communicated in the future. I'm done. It comes down to cream I used to top off my latte and a couple of splenda? I don't need you and neither does the people who support me! My family, my friends and ALL of my followers have my back and are coming with me! Don't eat the food either because they're cheap and nothing tastes good. My kid could make a sandwich better than this with play dough.
