We have a home in Mt. Gretna, and when come to stay we visit the Quentin Haus. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. It is refreshing to have a place to eat that's consistent and the staff is friendly. The food is always hot and tasty. read more

Wow Ok we went here because we thought it was going to be German food. It is not, however, Ronnie got the Veal Parm and it was good. I got a Belgian Waffle with the juiciest strawberries ever. It's a very comfortable vibe and everyone is nice. You call tell that they have a bunch of regulars and that's great. Little out of the way but it's on our way to the VA. I would gladly give them another try, just not an out of the way trip alone. Prices are reasonable and the place was clean. Yes I walked around the restaurant to look at all the sports Memorabilia Missy was our server read more

Food just isn't really that good and prices are way to expensive compared to the other breakfast spots in the area

This is one of my go-to spots for breakfast. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the menu is packed with delicious options. Whether you're craving something hearty or light, there's something here for everyone. read more

We passed by the Quentin Haus Restaurant many times during our travels and noticed that there are usually a decent amount of cars in the parking lot. That's usually a good sign so we planned to give it a try for dinner on our next trip. The atmosphere is casual and comfy and the server was friendly and attentive so we were off to a good start and both ordered the grilled chicken with rice. Unfortunately it was one of the worst meals we experienced in any restaurant....ever. It looked good when placed on the table but when we cut through the chicken both of our meals revealed a pink, uncooked center and the rice was dried out and obviously cooked earlier in the day. The server was very apologetic when informed that the chicken was raw and took the meals back to complete the cooking process. It was curious as she was collecting our plates that she said she was upset with the kitchen because it wasn't the first time the same thing had happened. It didn't take long for the meals to return which was appreciated but while the chicken was now properly cooked, it along with the rice was flavorless as neither appeared to be seasoned. As it seemed to be up to us to make the meals edible we asked for some butter and used that along with the salt, pepper and parmesan on the table for the rice and a couple BBQ sauce packets for the chicken and self-seasoned the best we could. We didn't complain as that's not our thing and provided a 20% tip for the server as she did her job well which is the only thing preventing one star. We really wanted Quentin Haus to be a regular stop since we pass by so often but we left very disappointed. As 1st impressions go, is was not good and I doubt that we will visit again. read more

Call ahead. They advertise dinner served until seven o'clock, but will turn people away much sooner than that. Bad for business.

Limited menu. Food is nourishing but not destination. No coke products. Staff is kind but disappointing experience. Much better diners in this area read more

The Quentin Haus - Egg potato onions (although I didn't taste or see any onions) - Modern European Near Me - Quentin, Pennsylvania

Decor/service: classic diner style restaurant but with plenty of sports memorbilia on the walls and some good ones at that. The service was lacking as the food took awhile even just for basic items 3/5. Food- *only have been here for breakfast* Egg sandwich: really missed the mark as the eggs were over cooked and there was minimal cheese included 2/5 2 eggs over easy- like the egg sandwich the eggs were over cooked to the point of not being runny. Disappointment 2/5 Breakfast ham: solid piece of meet that wasn't overly salty 4/5 read more

Appearance was ok Pricing was a little high Food portions were very good Food quality below expectations Home fries were burnt not just dark and really dry Ham steak was the best part of the breakfast Staff was very friendly and attentive And doors for a handicapped person on a walker by themselves are not wide enough to go in one door. read more

Stopped by for a Sunday breakfast at lunch time. Were seated immediately on arrival. Our server was greeted us in a matter of minutes to get our drink order & our food order shortly after. It was a busy time so it was a shock how quickly our food was brought out to us! The food was exactly what we ordered and delicious!! Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat! read more

The Quentin Haus became our place to go because it was close to the VA Hospital where my father was in hospice care. I was surprised to see the kind of picky, negative comments on here, because the food was just simple classics that were all delicious. Everything is purposefullly basic here. The dishes are all so reasonable. The sausage and pepper sandwichch was delicious, the marinara sauce the restaurant uses seems to be made with imported San Marzano type tomatoes, which you can identify by the seeds. ,The fish was perfectly cooked, I had fried chicken tonight that was absolutely fresh, well prepared and delicious. The only bad dish was the "spicy shrimp skewer," which was "spiced" with tons and tons of garlic powder and was inedible and sent back. But the waitstaff is super nice, and what a comforting place to come for classic food. Oh, by the way, most of the customers are ancient, with plenty of handicapped parking spots and lots of walkers. I'm glad they can come here. read more

Great little restaurant. Friendly service and good home cooking. Some of the best Eggs Benedict I have had anywhere! The food is always consistent. Great local place. read more

First of all, the giant screen TV with Fox News, which is the first thing you see as you walk in, is far from welcoming. Put on some sports or the weather channel. We ate in the other room, so we didn't have to watch it. I treated myself to a chocolate shake, which was great, but the "chicken pot pie" was very disappointing. I expected the PA Dutch version, which is not made with a pie crust, but should be a stew of thick square noodles, chicken, some potatoes and carrots, all in a chickeny-yellow sauce. This was more like a white soup, with dough balls replacing the bott boi noodles. They were greatly outnumbered by hunks of potato, one of which had a dark corner, and exactly *two* small pieces of chicken meat. On the plus side, the lettuce with hot bacon dressing was very good and traditional, and my wife liked her Rachel sandwich. The server was fast and very pleasant. read more

The food was standard and good portion size was good. Service was good and has a good hometown feel. I will stop again when in the area.

Ok here we go to a sweet little restaurant that my Mom and I go to a few times a month for a very long time. Well we went for a bite today and WE ordered a favorite of our --they were all out and this is beginning to be a regular thing- not making enough for the day. Now they have a new cook and a young trainer. We order something simple --Me - a cheese burger and Mom a ham Bar b q and to share FF. The buns were so dry they were crispy and the FF were so brown and so hard we didnt eat them . I refuse the FF and sent them back . This is actually the first time I every got badly cooked food here. I watched the old over weight cook thru the window and He did a very big NONO He was putting and picking at food while he was cooking --- getting his own saliva on the tips of his fingers and transferring his germs to someones food. Disgusting! !!! ! !! I do think by talking to the head waitress that he has been told about this before and doesnt obey--- I really would love to tell the food inspectors but this restaurant has been around for years and this is the first time I didnt like the food. I hope my complaint today will shake up the owners just a little. I hope they get a better cook because the one they have now seems like a greasy spoon cook !!! !!! Please keep your hands away from ur mouth while cooking ! !! ! ! read more

We come to this area annually to visit family, and stopping at Quentin Haus is a MUST DO! They have the BEST Ruben sandwiches and comfy PA-Dutch food ever! Our visit today did not disappoint! My Ruben sandwich was the best ever with crispy grilled rye and slow roasted slices of corned beef (clearly roasted in-house). Our server Olivia was phenomenal, and the food reasonably priced! Highly, highly recommended!! read more

With so many fantastic Pennsylvania-Dutch places to eat in the Lancaster area, my expectations run a little high. Thus Quentin Haus was a disappointment. With an obviously PA Dutch name, I expected the cuisine to be of the hearty homestyle variety and it wasn't. It was just your typical breakfast fare that lacked any modicum of creativity. The portions were smallish as well. The place also completely lacks charm or warmth. I had no particular problem with Quentin Haus, but it was just lackluster. I wouldn't go back again, but I wouldn't NOT eat there again if pressed as long as I wasn't paying. read more

Yummy home cooking food. Love the ham loaf. Turkey and gravy is delicious. Friendly wait staff

My wife and I ate breakfast at Quentin Haus today. What an exceptionally most excellent experience! Jen, our waitress was so attentive and anticipated every need before I even had to ask. The quality of the food was wonderful! Everything was made to our requests. The bacon was outstanding. The restaurant is immaculate. The setting and natural lighting is superb. This is going to be a regular stop for us. I recommend everyone to stop in and see for yourselves. Five stars and then some!!! Great job! read more

Great family dining at a reasonable cost. Has a large side room for big family's or large groups. Great selection of local homemade pies.

Really great atmosphere and basic good PA food. Classic family restaurant. Good service

There's nothing wrong with the Quentin Haus restaurant. It's your old-school corner cafe. But there's nothing spectacular either.. Last time I was there it was for breakfast with a friend. I had a "green" omelet - not sure what exactly the menu called it but it had spinach, mushrooms, swiss cheese. It was made fine and the accompanying home fried potatoes were good too. The place was clean and the service was decent. The decor is old'ish but serviceable. Just don't expect too much and you'll probably find the Quentin Haus to be a good stop. read more

Hey...just wanted to say that our visit to the Quentin Haus Diner was EXCELLENT. .due to our waitress,whose name was LISA...What a charming lady she was...so sweet and on her game !food was not only delicious,but prompt and super-courteous...She gave our morning a great start by her friendly nature.I always appreciate someone whose extra-effort can turn my morning frown up-side down !Thank you,Lisa,you deserve a raise...for being so genuinely kind.We can tell the difference in a seasoned server...Their experience and efforts go above and beyond the normal servers.No insult to younger servers,just a reminder that WITH EXPERIENCE YOU EVOLVE INTO YOUR OPTIMUM BEST SELF and that DOES come from age and wisdom only...We really enjoyed her positive,upbeat attitude.We could tell she enjoys working with people.Its nice & her efforts seemed EFFORTLESS ! read more

Decor is stale , food is mediocre at the most. In desperate need of updating and new menu

New to the area and came here the first time because it was close to the house, now I'm a regular because the staff are so nice and the food is good hearty home cooking. I usually only come for breakfast and pick from one of the specials, but today I was late for breakfast but in time for lunch. Got the chicken fried steak special with mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, and a roll. The main and potatoes were as could be expected, but the broccoli salad was awesome! If you're in the area, give this place a try. Stick the basics and you won't be disappointed. read more

Despite a review that talked down on this place, every time I've been there. The service is great, lots of young employees, the cooks are quick, they might lack experience, regardless they've always satisfied me. You're greeted in the diner area, depending on your party size, the diner or the back dining hall has great seats. Immediate, friendly service by your waitress or waiter. The menu isn't very big, lots of hometown Lebanon Dutch County cooking and a good selection of seafood and burgers. My latest experience, 3/2/14 with the Sunday crowd was rather pleasing. Within a few minutes sat, the waitress came out and got our drinks and order quickly. It took about ten minutes to get our food on a busy time like Sunday afternoon. In and out within 25 minutes. Personally, I recommend the crap cakes. Also very good restaurant style French fries done perfectly. There's also a lighter side menu. Sit down place with the fast food convenience. Check them out on Facebook for hours and specials. read more

Excellent food and service we frequent this restaurant regularly we like breakfast lunch and diner here all the food is excellent please try it!!!! read more

A lot of the county was without power last Friday so everyone was looking for a place to eat. That said, we were patient as it took over 20 minutes for a waitress to come and take our order. I have various "restaurant cards" that local sports sell as fundraisers. I have one that listed the Quentin Haus with buy a dessert, get one free. When we went to pay, they would not honor it stating they never seen it before. (It is a mass produced plastic card with other local restaurant deals on the back). The dessert was $2.95...and we waited how long to be waited on??? Terrible way to treat customers and we will not be going back. read more

If it were possible to rate a minus star rating this dump would certainly be well deserving. Everyone save your gas your money and time. This place is poorly managed and has little concern about customer service. read more

Probably one of the worst lunches I've ever tried to eat: fried fish taco with sour salsa on top; brought half of it home for my dog. I'll never go back. Waitress wasn't too swift, either. read more

I've been going here for decades. When this Dutchman had a bill for $15.60 (with tax) for an omelet (no potatoes/bread) and plate of lettuce (literally) and coffee - I couldn't believe it! 15 bucks for breakfast in Lebanon County? Bill, the owner told me if I don't like it, don't order it! I've taken my business a few minutes south to kountry Kitchen where the SAME MEAL is 4+ dollars CHEAPER! read more

Simple diner style restaurant off PA Turnpike. The chicken salad and roasted turkey were both delicious, the soup was just ok. Old and worn but clearly a local favorite based on the other customers. We would stop again if we were in the area. read more

I was there and it was amazing and it was my first time with my gram and nana they love it to and who cares what other people think of this place I give it a five star rating it is amazing and i want to eat there again soon read more

Very nice little restaurant that I enjoy taking my better half to for breakfast or dinners. Prices are good, food is good, and I enjoy looking at the sports memorabilia hanging from the walls. For breakfast the "Golfers Special" is my favorite. For dinner; gotta have the ham loaf, fries with beef gravy and don't forget the lettuce with bacon dressing. PA Dutch food - can't go wrong here and there is something for everyone! read more

The food was bland. Even the loaded fries and bacon had no flavor and the decor was dry. The whole place was also empty during prime dinner hour too. I'm giving a star for the sake of the waitress we had who was pretty nice but no personality. The woman who greeted us at the door sounded annoyed. It's very much an elder spot. read more

I've been 2 times for breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict and a western omelette. Food is tasty. Like a home cooked meal. The waitress lady has been the same both times so it's got that quaint small town familiarity and the prices are good. I'd give it more stars if they were a bit more current in that there's no flavored creamer for my coffee and no seltzer water available which are what I prefer to drink. So that was disappointing. read more

Terrible experience. Go elsewhere. There were only 4 tables in the back. All 4 tables sent their food back because it was cold. They reheated it in the microwave. I asked for extra gravy when I ordered my meal, when she brought it, and when she reheated it. I never did get it. Another table asked for the manager. The manager was very rude. She came out and said "she reheated it, didn't she. When I said about my gravy she snubbed me. The waitress came back and slapped the bill on our table and was very rude and said I am sorry you had a terrible experience. The bill was full price. I asked the manager if she was going to do something about it and she said no. I will not go there again. read more

Food was decent, but I loved the relaxed atmosphere the most. I also loved the oldies music! Our waitress Liz was very nice and interacted with my 6 yr old very well. She made our visit great! They have a great selection of pies, and my kid ate a full plate of sketti! read more
