We had a party of 6 and our waitress was excellent today!! Food was great too!! Temp was chilly so our waitress brought us a large space heater which helped. Nice job! We will be back!! read more

First off, my wife had the Thai Steak Noodle Salad special and I had the 1/2 Cajun Chicken sandwich with the Lobster Bisque. My wife liked the salad but she thought the salad could have used more dressing...it was still good. The lobster bisque was fantastic. Big chunks of lobster and the soup had a great lobster taste. The sandwich was on the small side but tasted very good. The overall bill was $44 total including tax. The ambience was very good and had an upscale feel. I think the overall ratings are spot since I would rate this a little higher than a 4 and recommend it. Service was good also. read more

Probably the best restaurant at the mall. Good food choices and good service. Pumpernickel bread is worth it.

I've never had bad food here-my go to is the filet with lump crab meat, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. They aren't greedy with the crab meat either read more

Let me say it was a wonderful date night dinner. When we walk in the staff was so friendly and so pleasant. I felt so welcome. The food and drinks was amazing. The server was so patient with me and hubby (it was our 1st time) as we was deciding what we wanted to order. We will diffidently be coming back again. read more

We chose here for dinner because my daughter had a party in the mall and thought while we were there to pick her up anyway, we'd try it out for dinner. We were able to secure reservations online which was good because it was busy. The ambiance is dark and has these deep red leather accents and little lamps. Kind of reminds me of an old steak house. We liked that. They have an extensive cocktail menu which I Enjoy because I love a good cocktail and it's hard to know what to order. The ingredients of these cocktails were quality and I wish I could have tried many more lol. They need flights. I had a kickin blueberry mule which was refreshing. My husband had a gin drink which was delish. The bread was odd, and if anyone experienced in this place could enlighten me if that's how it's supposed to be but it came out warm and was really chewy. And what's the flavor? I should have asked but didn't. Not sure I liked the chew... For my meal I got the prime rib sandwich and to my surprise they offered two types of horseradish and I love me some horseradish. The jus was not salty the fries were shoestring and crispy. The cheese was melty and the onions were perfect. It was a wonderful sandwich. We weren't planning on dessert since we were so full and had cake at home but they surprised us with a sundae for my sons birthday. The sparkler was a nice touch! We didn't even mention it! Our server was amazing! Can't wait to come back! read more

A nice atmosphere with good waiters and waitresses. Quick service. Food is great. Would definitely go back again.

This place is a consistent choice for good food. I love the ambience - very dark, romantic, and perfect for a date night. We started off our dinner with the house made bread and honey butter as our appetizer - the butter is always delicious! For our meals, I got the chicken tenders with fries and cinnamon apples. I was told by a coworker these are the BEST chicken fingers, so I had to try them. They were quite good!! The breading is light and air but still crispy, and I LOVE the honey mustard. The shoestring French fries are a nice change from "normal" fries, and i loved the sweetness of the cinnamon apples - it tasted like dessert! The server that night lacked personality, but it didn't deter from our e too much. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will continue to return. read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to get good, local food in Lancaster. I am glad we chose here. Plenty of seating at 3:00 on a Tuesday but by the time we left the place had filled up a lot! It's no wonder why. The atmosphere is beautiful. Luxurious red booths and soft lighting. Clean. Friendly waiter who was very attentive to my toddler and brought him crayons and a cute sippy cup. The food came out fast and my meal was one of the tastiest fillets I have ever had. The lump crab topping was such a savory pairing. My loaded baked potato was delicious and so was my broccoli. I hope they open a location on Long Island. There were other menu items I would have loved to have tried as well. Prices weren't bad either. read more

The staff and management was incredible. So kind, so accountable and helpful. I was however less than impressed with the food. The service was superb though I was left wanting more from the food. read more

Oh Boy was this a good find. A large place in a large mall with a full separate gluten free menu to boot. The staff is great and even a new person has the skills and attitude to make it a great meal too. We were sure to tell the manager when he checked in on us as we were ready to leave. The setting is nice an clean and well made to made speaking easy even with a full house. The booths were very comfortable and for only four of us we had plenty of elbow room The menu had so much to choose from, every thing we looked at was a best choice until we read the next one below or to the side of that one. beverages were great and dessert was be best ending of a great meal. They have several other in the area so we will return to the area for another vacation and make a visit to the other places the manager told us about. This is a Best Place for us and is probably for many others since having a reservation was a good idea suggested when we called ahead to check on the gluten free items. read more

We'd never heard of JB Dawson's until a few weeks ago when we were looking for restaurant reservations near Lancaster. Very, very happy that we ended up at JB Dawson's! Everything we tried was delicious. Highlights: the Paloma with a Diploma drink, the cheesesteak egg rolls absolutely delicious, and the cornbread (which I think is jalapeño cheese but it's not mentioned on the menu). The entrees were great and were pretty big portions. If I had one complaint, I wish the Texas Tenders were crispier. As they are, they're pretty soft, with a batter like fish and chips. The chocolate chip skillet cookie is fantastic and I'd honestly go back just to have that again! read more

Seriously a very nice restaurant, though a little cold. They make a crab Alfredo that is really good. My husband got the twisted burger which he loved. Nice ambience and the service is fairly. good too. Don't forget to get the chocolate chip cookie if you come here delicious! read more

This is a convenient stop off if you are at the Park City Mall. It's just a couple doors down from the Fountain Shoppes entrance and Starbucks. It's really nice inside. Feels upscale, nice bar area. Seemingly not overrun with guests. A couple TVs in bar area but not a sports bar. Their happy hour (5-7) is really a deal since their prices aren't high to start from. Good cocktails, nice beer and wine selection. We have been here a couple times and always liked the food. They have a nice assortment on the happy hour menu as well. And it's not super loud! Check them out. read more

Found this place while the rest of my family enjoyed another establishment that I wasn't able to partake in due to the menu not being keto friendly. I enjoyed the Jambalaya Pasta, just without the pasta. What great and bold flavor! Wasn't overly spicy, which was great while maintaining the flavor. I also enjoyed the loaded smashed Cauliflower. Cheese, bacon, scallions along side the Cauliflower almost made it feel like a healthier version of Mac and cheese. Would recommend 100%. read more

I was with a girlfriend on August 23, 2024. i ordered the chicken lettuce wrap cups. It said stir fried chicken with veggies with a side sauce of hoisin sauce and lettuce to use as wraps. I was surprised to see ground chicken not slices of chicken with veggies. It tasted good but not what I had hoped for. Service was great and the food is always good. I would have ordered the beef noodle salad instead. Jennifer Daisy read more

Excellent food & potion size. I've had a few items, including the shaved steak with swiss cheese, au jus & stick fries. All quite good.

One of the best restaurants in Lancaster. You will not be disappointed. Servers are great. Food is incredible. Ambiance is perfect. Management treats employees well. read more

My fiancé and I went to Park City Mall and really wanted to go to TGIFridays. We were disappointed that they were no longer at the mall, but decided to give JB Dawnsons a try since they were now at the mall. The food and atmosphere was great. We sat at the bar and the waitress was nice. They have the best homemade chicken tenders we've ever had... I mean delicious! The French dip was also really good too. We will be going back! read more

My family and I have been regulars at J.B. Dawson's for many years and can't say enough good things about the food, the service, and this particular location. Before Lancaster had a decent restaurant scene, there weren't many dining-out options for my husband, who has a gluten allergy. Here, he has plenty of healthy options and can enjoy both pasta dishes and burgers with gluten-free components, though he still avoids the fried foods. Over the years, we've sampled just about everything on the menu - including some of our seasonal favorites like the southwestern bowl and cajun chicken pasta - but our go-to orders include the sweet and spicy island wings, Twisted Burger (pepper jack cheese, fried onions, and a spicy mayo sauce), grilled chicken marsala, and grilled salmon oscar (with crab, asparagus, and a creamy garlic sauce). The ribs and pulled pork deserve honorable mentions, and if you're a fan of mojitos, you can get an exceptional one here. My daughter loves the super cheesy kids macaroni and cheese - and I love that it doesn't come from a Kraft box. We also agree on the desserts - the apple walnut cobbler is baked bliss with a caramel drizzle, the gluten free brownie is something our whole family can indulge in, and the chocolate chip cookie sundae is made to order and worth every second of the wait. But my daughter insists on coming to JB Dawson's for her birthday every year because of the birthday sundae - it is literally topped with a firework, and even though she knows what's coming, her face lights up every time she gets one. The hosts and wait staff are very attentive - they work together, so you'll never get a "sure, let me find your server" response. They'll get you a refill, extra plate, or whatever you might need. There's usually a manager on duty who checks with patrons to make sure you enjoyed your meal - and they genuinely want to know if you didn't. We've only had one night where one of our meals wasn't up to par, and when we mentioned it, not only did the manager remove it from our bill, but he also offered a free dessert. When we declined the free dessert, he comped our drinks as well and personally delivered our bill with his apologies and an explanation of the changes he made to the bill. If you're coming on a Friday or Saturday night, I strongly recommend you call ahead for seating. Dawson's is a popular dinner spot for mall shoppers. Bring the family with you on Sundays - kids eat free! read more

Service was good. Very quick. Food was good and in large portions. Close to the Fulton theater.

We cane here for dinner tonight, the food and service was excellent. I had the lump crab pasta alfredo, huge lumps of crab meat- so flavorful. My boyfriend had the cajun rib eye, he ordered it medium but it came out medium well, he told the serve and they immediately said they would replace - never questioned it. Within 5 minutes he had another steak , it was perfect. Not only did they give him another steak but they gave him a new plate with the all new sides and they tild him to keep the other order. Great Service is definitely what they pride themselves on. Another great thing here ia that the wait staff work togehter as a team, if u need assistance- anyone can help u. First time here but not my last. read more

Always a great meal. Love the dark interior. Great for date nights. Food is always perfect. And prices are reasonable. I'm not a huge fan of supporting franchises and chains but this is one of my exceptions when I want a rib eye and don't want to break the budget. read more

I've visited this location twice. Great food, great service and good atmosphere. I'll be back! read more

Good food, nice selection of foods, very friendly service. Reasonable prices. Comfortable atmosphere.

Spent the weekend in Lancaster and decided to try this place out. The food was on point!! The wings were delicious and HUGE! The potato soup and the Parmesan crusted chicken were very tasty. My boyfriend absolutely loved the short ribs, they were cooked perfectly with great flavor. The dessert was good and big! Very big portions and reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend and will return next time I am in the area! Service was good and the managers stopped by twice just to ask how things were. read more

This place is like a toothache, where you keep sucking air to see if it still hurts. Well guess what, it does. Just like in baseball 3 strikes you're out. Trying to have a nice date with the wife and nothing better than watching each other eat cause they can't read a ticket order. Not to mention they rushed the refire and it comes out like warm. Bye bye wanna be steak house!!! read more

Food was good, and ambiance was nice. Service was poor. Hosts were unpleasant-interrupted their personal conversation trying to check in for our reservation. Waited 25 minutes after our scheduled reservation to be seated. One person took our drink order, another our dinner order, yet another brought our food. No refills on drinks and did not ask if we wanted dessert, which we would have liked since we were celebrating a birthday, which we noted in the reservation. Could not wait to get out check, which we also had to wait for. read more

I had dinner at JB Dawsons on 11/10 and the food was good. I had the crab Alfredo pasta and my friend had the crab cake and ribs which they indicated was equally good. Area of need: Service left something to be desired. Took a long time to come back to the table and forgot our appetizer. She just seemed preoccupied which impacted the rating and the tip. read more

I was here after going to the Sight & Sound theater. I had their half rack ribs, whipped garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. I was leary about both the ribs and the spinach. JBs did not disappoint!!! The ribs were cooked well...but not too well that they didn't fall off the bone...seasoned perfectly. The creamed spinach consistency was perfect...not runny (like some restaurants have erred in that direction) and seasoned just right...not salty and tasty. Also my girlfriends all enjoyed their dishes too...and a couple of them are vegans. Okay JB...if I'm ever in the area again...no doubt about it. JBs is mmmm mmm good!! read more

I can not say enough about the staff from the hostess to our waitresses to the manager. Our waitress Emma was so attentive and pleasant. Each person was over then the next. The food was fresh and delicious. Highly Recommend! read more

First time coming here. Came for my birthday with my boyfriend. Great food! Great atmosphere! We both got drinks from the bar, then we did an appetizer that was on special. It was called the Tex mex chicken nachos(DELICIOUS)... for entrees he got the crab cakes. And I got the grilled chicken sandwich. Which was great! Gets a side of Mayo but I asked for honey mustard. Favorite part was the French fries! I'm picky with them so it was fantastic that they were good lol. Staff was very welcoming and understanding to our few needs we asked for. I even got a nice complementary ice cream! Pictures to follow! read more

My wife and I needed to go to the Apple Store at Park City Mall. It was dinner time and we saw this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised it is a very nice steakhouse. The food was excellent. I had a couple beers. We ordered appetizers and we had dinners and the bill was only about $70, you can't beat that! The service was excellent. We don't go to Lancaster often, but when we do this restaurant will be on our go to list! read more

Mediocre- they used to have a great happy hour menu with great food, cocktails at a good price. In the past few years it's gone down hill. Service anywhere is hard to come by. Foods just okay. I'd stick to ordering the chicken bruschetta because that is always consistently good. read more

One of my favorite places to dine. Food and drinks are fairly priced and service is fast.

Plan to go there again. Food was fantastic and the quiet atmosphere was appreciated. Our waitress said that she had worked there for a long time. We asked why she stayed ... she said the manager and owners treated them extremely well. Going back regularly! read more
