I just love this place. The owner is an absolute sweetheart. She is so nice and always taking care of her employees and customers. The staff we had today was great! We had a party of 8 and our server was awesome and didn't miss a beat. From the outside, looks small. On the inside, TONS of seating and comfortably as well! Ive had breakfast, lunch and dinner here before. The star of the show is breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes are great. Their cinnabun pancakes are incredible. Their homefries and and bacon rock! Don't tempt me with one of their omelets I could eat that all day. Country fried steak with gravy? Also top notch. We LOVE this place for breakfast. My wife's family visits from far away and always like to go here for breakfast. Keep up the great work! You are great for Manheim and a hidden gem for Lancaster County read more

Visiting from NJ, stopped here for breakfast. The service was quick, friendly and the prices were reasonable. My chocolate chip pancakes were supposed to come with peanut butter and whipped cream but did not. The peanut butter is what got my curiosity so I was disappointed. My wife's meal was supposed to come with a free donut that we did not get. I was disappointed with the use of single use syrup, butter and cream packages. Those single use containers aren't recyclable and not biodegradable. I was surprised that this business isn't concerned about the environment. read more

On 72 between Lebanon and Lancaster. Small cosy diner, about what you'd expect for a farm area. We should have went with our better judgment and opted for breakfast all day. The iced tea was good, I've had better and far worse. The spouse went with George's panini, and I had chicken and waffle. The panini was large with a chunk of dry chicken breast. It was close to her feeding time so no photos. My chicken and waffle... I was expecting a deep fried breast, but instead had lumpy semi warm yellow gravy with chunks of various sized rather dry breast tossed stirred in , read leftovers . Eatable but weird, something my mother would make( not a compliment my mother couldn't cook in any stretch). Both were so so diner fare. Both came with a side and we opted for the chicken corn soup. Again so so , no match for the sister in laws by any means. Servers were working hard and keeping everything clean and drinks topped up, checking diners out. Really performing well . We will revisit but stick with the breakfast, others who visited stated it was great. Watch the exit, very steep ramp ! $39.34 plus tip. read more

First time visit. Got sat immediately even though there were a good amount of people waiting. Great start! Unfortunately then we sat and waited about 10 minutes before anyone came over...while other people who were sat after us already had their beverages. After we finally ordered we got our beverages Food arrived and we were offered more coffee...our server who seemed to like to make a lot of noise when she showed up poured more coffee on the table than in our mug. Food was ok... My wife had Eggs over easy with toast home fries and bacon- one egg was broken which is a major pet peeve of mine. I had an egg white omelette with ham and cheese. Dry sourdough toast. Overall it was good nothing close to the 4+ stars we read about... read more

Very friendly service. Owners are awesome. The food is great. And it has a comfortable atmosphere.

A lot of old school family restaurants like this are disappearing, and it's a shame. Kountry Kitchen is affordable, and offers a deep and varied Jersey Style Diner Menu, along with local favorites. I had Stuffed Peppers and my wife had Pork and Kraut. Both dishes were well prepared and tasty. The service was friendly and excellent. If you are looking for this type of dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. read more

How often do you find a restaurant that thrills the tummies of five very different eaters in a family? We loved this place! Between us, we had succulent seafood, sweet chocolate chip pancakes, savory shepherd's pie, salad and even hog maw! The waitress was excellent, the food arrived quickly, everybody loved their meal and we even had a wonderful conversation with Georges, the owner. read more

The food was great, service was amazing! Our waitress was so sweet! I loved the ambience, felt like home!

The Kountry Kitchen on Route 72 in Manheim, PA is a hidden gem of a restaurant. From it's front door greeters, to it's wait staff, to it's cooks (who, by the way, you don't see but deserve many kudos) the establishment is run like a well oiled machine. The food is delicious from breakfast to close of day dinners. The wait staff are attentive, the food is prepared and delivered promptly and is reasonably priced. The restaurant is very clean including the bathrooms. If you are ever in Manheim, PA, do yourself a favor and stop and enjoy a meal at the Kountry Kitchen. I ate there several times in the five days I was in Manheim, PA. read more

We love coming here for breakfast when we come to visit family. We had George's special, and a variety of other breakfast plates. Food was fresh, delicious and served very well! read more

Decent food. Diner atmosphere. Not too long of a wait. Local hangout. We were seated in a most undesirable location at the intersection of the door to the back seating area and the kitchen entrance. Felt cramped and jostled the whole time. Should have asked to be moved to a different table. read more

Home style cooking at its finest. I never had ham loaf and tried it here. It is ground ham in the shape of a loaf, then sliced and lightly grilled on both side. It comes with a side of pineapple raisin sauce to spread on top. Really good taste and the two slices of ham were not too salty. I also had the fried eggplant as a side and the chili as the soup. The chili is a little sweeter and the only bad thing about it was it came in a cup and not a bowl! read more

What a unique, but splendid way to serve a pecan sticky bun - warmed, split in half, top coated with nuts and sticky goodness, next to the bottom, a swirl of cinnamon. I'm in heaven. Ordered the ham steak breakfast. A large, thick grilled sliced of smoky ham, scrambled eggs and real potato, sliced home fries. All good, but the ham slice was so large, I took the rest home. I shamefully, also polished off a dish of homemade tapioca pudding - hey now; that's my dairy! This place was Hopping. I glanced about and everyone appeared happy. I overheard one gentleman denounce that his breakfast was the Best he's every had. Service was polite and quick. read more

My husband and I went there for lunch on 11/2/24. We both had coffe and shared mozzarella sticks. We ordered different meals. I had a turkey club. I only ate half. The server asked me if I needed a to go box. I said yes please. Here we go....she forgot and threw it in the garbage!!! I was pissed but said don't worry about it. We left there and went next door to dollar general. I instantly felt sick! Shit that store up!!! We left there to go home immediately and my husband got sick and we had to stop at the Sheetz 500ft from the dollar general!!! Obviously something was comtanited!!! Be careful!!! read more

Great food super friendly staff. Glad we jumped off the turnpike for this little Gem of a restaurant read more

Nice diner atmosphere. The pork chop was extremely tasty. I just wish the gravy was as well. The coleslaw was a creamy delight. I'd come back. read more

Always enjoy a good breakfast here. Staff is always nice. Portions have seemed to be cut back.

Great little restaurant! We had our family breakfast here before decorating for a wedding At Promise Farm! Everyone enjoyed their food! read more

Consistently good food, service and friendly place, our go-to after church place for lunch (closes at 2 on Sunday) Burgers are very good with plenty of options, breakfast items are well prepared and varied, some fun Greek items. Fantastic local place- always busy- I hate to rave too much because I don't want to wait in line!! Owners are on site and everyone is on the ball and welcoming. Prices are fair for the generous servings. Wish they were open later! read more

If I could give this review a title, it would be "35 5-stars!" We brought a group from our church Sr. Adult ministry to visit the Lancaster area this past week. We were on the way back to our hotel, coming from the Hershey Chocolate World, when we found this gem on yelp. I called the restaurant about 90 minutes ahead to see if they could handle a group of 35 and were met with a big "Yes!" When we pulled up, the owner was standing at the door to welcome us, waving us in to the back room where they had tables set up for us. What an eclectic menu! A little bit of everything available. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie. (Would not have traded it for anything. It was wonderful, but I didn't see the hamloaf on the menu. One of my childhood favorites!) My wife had the vegetable plate (one of the best Greek "side" salads she'd ever eaten. It was huge!) Other people in our party ordered the baked potatoes (All I can say is wow!), French Onion Soup, Hamburgers, Roasted Turkey Sandwich, Baked Lasagna, Red Beet Salad, Baked Haddock, BBQ Ribs, etc. (Did I mention there were a lot of choices??) Dessert...Did I say we just came from Hershey? We didn't need any, but to top off this meal, we were "talked into" trying a piece of her home-made baklava (The owner told us over 90% of the menu was home-made in the restaurant...believe it!). She told us she only had 3 pieces left. Our table ordered 2 of them and she gave us all 3. Hands down, the best baklava I've ever eaten...sweet, flakey, nutty wonderfulness. To say that everyone was pleased with their meals is a big understatement. The service was great. We couldn't believe how fast they started bringing out the meals. All the employees were very pleasant. Everything about our time at Kountry Kitchen was 5 star. Thank you for a great experience! We only wish you were closer to North Myrtle Beach... read more

Because my hotel didn't serve breakfast, I came into Kountry Kitchen Family Restaurant hoping to find some good eats. Upon arriving, I was immediately seated at a table. Within minutes, my waitress took my order. Not long afterwards, my food came out. I had the Meat Lover's Omelette, which was packed with bacon, ham, sausage, and cheese. It was both filling and delicious, all for only ~$9! Additionally, it came with a side of grits and toast. My only minor complaint is that it seems like they weren't very careful in preparing my food. I never ordered potato, yet I had some potato mixed in with my omelette, probably from cross-contamination with someone else's order. This is a big issue for people like me who are allergic to potato. read more

A reasonably priced, decent breakfast served by attentive wait staff. Also happy to see an intellectually disabled adult working and interacting with customers. read more

I came here for a Saturday morning breakfast. The place was busy and almost full. Prior to my arrival, I had a look on their website and had an idea of what I was going to order. Unfortunately, I was not able to order what I originally had in mind because they have a limited breakfast menu after 11 am. Regardless, I was still able to order an omelette. I always ask for my home fries extra crispy, this time included, and I must say they could've done a better job but I am not fully complaining. My server was also not the most attentive but I do not blame the established because I watched another server who was completely on top of her game. I wish I had been served by her. The food was typical home style, diner food.... exactly what I was looking for. I do plan on returning, most likely before 11 am, to try items from the full breakfast menu. read more

I love this place. Sunday morning gets packed, but the quality of the food always reminds the same. I've been here several times for lunch, breakfast, and take out, and they never disappoint. The owner comes to visit every table to make sure everything is going well, and the servers are attentive. I know they've been trying to hire during the pandemic but it seems like they haven't missed a beat in service. They appear to have many of the same people working time after time, and they're happy employees. If you are looking for a great diner type establishment with good food that won't break the bank, this is the spot for you. read more

While visiting family in Lebanon I decided I was hungry for breakfast and stopped in here. I loved it! why? Because it's that ultimate family run establishment that has great food and great service in a very comfortable setting. In the Philly area we call this a Greek diner. Out here they just call it a family run restaurant. What I liked was you almost feel like you're eating at your families house surrounded by extended family. It's that comfortable For breakfast I had a great server and I forget his name but he checked on me often even though I was solo. I had: George's Benedict which was your standard eggs Benedict up 2 notches. The eggs were perfectly poached and the sauce was fabulous. They allowed me to substitute potato pancakes for home fries and these were mind blowing. Imagine Pennsylvania Dutch potato pancakes and that's what I got. Same day: My two sisters, one of the husbands and 4 nieces and nephews were out Christmas shopping and we decided to find a place to meet up for an early dinner. I called the restaurant and asked if they could accommodate eight at 2PM to which the owner replied "sure, come on in" When we arrived we were immediately seated at a long table they set aside for us. There was plenty of room to stretch out, talk and eat. We all ordered something different and our server - I think her name is Olivia handled all of us with ease. She was patient with some of us who weren't ready when we should've been and also when some of us were changing our order. Our meals were delivered at the same time and we're hot and fresh and every dish was accurate. Kudos to the kitchen too!!! She checked on us many times and refilled our drinks several times. We never once felt like she was intrusive. She was that good. We looked at the time and noticed we have been sitting there for two hours catching up, eating,making plans for the rest of the day. Not once were we made to feel rushed. We had so much fun that we dubbed this our Christmas luncheon. We will all now remember where we had our Christmas luncheon in 2017. I highly recommend Kountry Kitchen Manheim if you're a solo or if you want to bring a group in. it will be great either way. read more

Great food, fast service even though the place was packed! Thanks for treating us out of towners like regulars!

It was our first time here. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, with excellent service. We will return.

Love this place! Excellent service and food. It is our go to place for breakfast and take out.

Restaurant is very clean and cute, service was excellent and the food was amazing. I had the chicken chipotle ciabatta panini and my husband has a seafood sampler, both of which were great! Would definitely eat here again! read more

Fantastic food, very reasonable prices. Boston cream cake was delicious! I also loved the onion rings.

After a horrific night at the nearby Pennswood Motel, I rolled into the Kountry Kitchen and was pleasantly surprised. The bathrooms were spotless and I was greeted by a friendly server. I apologized to her for wearing my dark sunglasses at 06:30 in the morning due to my concussion and she smiled and told me she understood. I ordered Georges breakfast and was blown away!! My wife can sure cook but I was in heaven as I tore it up! The spinach and feta cheese rocked! I made a point of asking them to compliment the Chef and I ain't done that in years! Well done Kountry Kitchen, know if I'm ever in your neck of the woods again I'll make it a point to stop by. read more

Place was full and waitress was running. Place my order clearly and was surprised that was wrong? Like she didn't hear me or care. Came back and seen I didn't eat my breakfast ask if I wanted a box. Come on man it's only breakfast, how do you mess that up. Save your money food was subpar. read more

This may be the cleanest family style restaurant we have been to. Great breakfast and many choices. Staff is attentive.

Driving through the back roads found this hidden gem. Ate lunch outside with an amazing view of God's country. Owner was very nice, I wish her all the best in this difficult time. But anyway let me get down to brass tacks. That food was amazing. It's the kinda of place if I lived out there. I'd probably be eating there 4 times a week. They had such a wide variety of different meals. You would never get bored of eating here. I do wish this place all the best. I've never felt more welcome by a restaurant, between the staff and the customers. Godspeed. read more

Family friendly place we found as we were tooling down the pike , my wife was hungry for breakfast that we missed out on in Wildwood, "they had streets closed for a marathon of some sort when we were on our way home from vacation so our plans got changed " so my daughter was driving I was in shotgun position so started looking on yelp for what was close to pike , and found Kountry Kitchen, easy to find right off the pike , we pulled into parking lot and it was a small crowd but we had missed the breakfast crowd I'm sure , it wears almost 11:00 , I had the cheese steak sandwich, my wife had a breakfast plate and my daughter had the pulled pork sandwich, the staff was very friendly and all the food was delicious no complaints, would definitely recommend and will stop in again next time heading to or leaving the beach read more

Awesome spot for some good breakfast. They have fast and friendly service, delicious food, hot coffee... plenty of selection for the kids as well. You get plenty for your money too. Place looks smaller from the outside than it actually is. Plenty of seating to bring the whole family! read more

Family owned restaurant putting love into all their dishes. Great comfortable atmosphere.

First time here- GREAT home-cooked and PLENTIFUL-and for us that's saying a lot! I had an omelet and french toast. My hubby is a french toast snob and he says it was light and fluffy, and very reasonably priced. His open face beef sandwich was piled high, good gravy, and the potatoes were homemade. We will be back often. read more
