    A And J's Twisted Kitchen - "MUST" try their coffee cake! I ordered extra for "to-go". Seriously the best coffee cake I've ever had.

Each table has a game & unique salt/pepper shakers. Just a lovely place that clearly shows the owners are proud of their food & their customers. Every employee was beyond friendly. Our server was extremely attentive. It is clear that there is a family atmosphere as you watch the employees interact with each other. The menu is large & has many options. They even offer some all day breakfast options. We ordered the onion rings that were good. We also had a cheesesteak with fries & that was also good. We ordered the meat sampler appetizer as an entree. You get LOTS of food!! It comes with smoked wings, ribs, brisket, & pulled chicken. Hush puppies & smoked baked beans are also included. The brisket was amazing! So tender and flavorful. The pulled chicken was also tasty. Wings & ribs were well overcooked, but still had terrific flavor. The baked beans were delicious - highly recommend! We were too full to order dessert, but they have milkshakes & sundaes. I have a feeling they would have been pretty tasty. The quality of the food is good & the prices are beyond reasonable. Definitely worth a stop.

    We left the museum famished and in the mood for burgers. So happy we came here as the service and…read morefood were both great! My company got fries topped with cheese and smoked beef brisket, a twisted burger with fries, and a cheeseburger with fries. All the food was cooked perfectly, well seasoned. All the French fries had that textured of old fries refried. They were super crispy in outside and stale dry inside. We were famished so we finished it all. We were told they had really great brownies so we bought a piece and also a lemon pound cake. Both were so yummy. The brownie was a more cake less chewy and the amount of sweetness was perfect. The lemon pound cake was a perfect sweetness and lemon combination. I was sad that we didn't get the mango ice cream, we just couldn't fit it in! Next time! The ambience of this place is very old school pub type with antique nostalgia decore all around. The restrooms were clean as well as tables and chairs. An easy place to spot on the main road with plenty of parking. Behind the pub is a rail so you do feel the shaking of the train as it passes lol. The service was friendly and fast. If you find yourself in this area do stop in. They have a few interesting items on the menu to try, you won't regret it.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. Okay first of all the people running this…read moreestablishment could teach most servers a thing or two about high quality customer service and we are from Long Island where you have many competitive restaurants with good service! At first we weren't sure what to expect from reading the menu but let me assure you, everything is made with LOVE. Iykyk. We ended up ditching our reservations at some bougie restaurant to come back here a second time during our stay. The ambiance is cozy, clean, & minimalist. The Amish people are in a lane of their own when it comes to quality. They just nail everything across the board. Might I add that our waitress Amanda was the dearest of souls and her Bible verse attached to the receipt imprinted a memory for me and my husband for all of time.

    Highly recommended on here, and well worth the drive into heart of Amish country in Lancaster, PA…read more Simple dining room, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms, off to the side banquet area, or for larger groups. The staff were all hardworking, friendly Amish women, where the flare of menu featured traditional Amish. Never eating traditional Amish, my selection were the traditional ham balls, potato salad and regular salad and a piece of shoefly pie to take home. Sadie, all of our server was lighting, efficient , on point and very sweet. Service was quick, a must stop in Amish country

We chose the buffet and were glad we did. While the food was generally good but not great, it has good variety and all for less than $20. Salad options were fresh and the roasted chicken adds clean protein with pretty good taste. I recommend the dinner rolls with the chicken as well. Some traditional Amish dishes were available that I didn't care for but others might. The desserts were my favorite, including the pumpkin cake and the apple crumble. They also offer a soft-serve station and a variety of sweet pies.

If you're looking for a hearty meal at a reasonable price, this place is hard to beat. A few highlights from our visit: The buffet is the best value, offering unlimited access to a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. Both hot and cold buffet options are available, so there's something for everyone. Dessert is included and features options like pie and soft serve ice cream. The food tasted fresh, homemade, and consistently well-stocked. We left incredibly full and satisfied. Other things worth noting: Plenty of parking available in the rear lot. Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. Friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. Despite arriving with a party of five, we were seated in about 10 minutes. Overall, Dienner's delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a Pennsylvania Dutch buffet: fresh comfort food, generous portions, great service, and excellent value. Whether you're visiting the Lancaster area or finishing up an Amish tour, it's a great place to sit down for a filling meal. I'd happily return on a future trip.

    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.
