Best American food near Willow Street, Pennsylvania, United States
Find out what American restaurants to try in Willow Street. Willow Street is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 8,908 at the 2016 census. In the early part of the 20th century the main thoroughfare in town was lined with willow trees on both sides for the length of the town, hence the community's name. As time marched on and the town grew, the road was widened and sidewalks were installed which required the trees be removed. Only a few of the original trees remain to this day.

Four of us went here for dinner and enjoyed the meal. The food was good, the atmosphere was fun, but not too loud. Our server could have been more attentive, but was polite and friendly. Not a great experience, but worth our time and money.

During renovations, workers found in the floor beams a signed inspection stamp--November 5, 1890--with the name of tobacco inspector John J. Jeffries. We named the restaurant after him. Weâve designed our menu based on local, seasonal, sustainable and

The atmosphere is quiet, but trendy full of wood and earthy tones and dim lighting. Unique floral lights surround the bar like teaky torches. The menu is full of craftmade cocktails and the air is full of jazz. Very relaxed spot with it's own parking garage as it's part of a hotel. To drink, I recommend "feeling blue?", but I subbed the gin for vodka. It's mildly sweet and delicious. I ordered a couple of favorites from the small plate menu and had the surf n turf (aka beef carpaccio with thinly sliced scallops), which was delicious. The herbed vinagerette was more like a vinagerette pesto that had just the right bite and thick in consistency. As a second course, I ordered the shrimp and grits. Being from the South, this was unlike anything I had ever had. It was more shrimp and veggie, than shrimp and grits. It was wonderful! Seasonal veggie was corn, cream beans, zucchini, and spinach. Everything was so fresh! The grits were delicious and had a larger grain with a nutty flavor. Cooked with cream and a white wine beurre blanc, there was no need for the cheddar typically accompanying this classic. On top of the food, service was great! The menu is limited, but to me, that means easier decisions. If you're picky, not the place for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend. Just here traveling for work.

We had breakfast here while staying in the Doubletree Resort. Nice and clean restaurant. There is a buffet for breakfast or order off the menu. Food was good but not great. Our server was friendly. Hilton Honors members get a discount on breakfast.

In a place best known for all-the-average-food-you-can-eat, fine dining does exist and it's at The Belvedere Inn. There, the hit all the targets, a warm, inviting atmosphere, great food and excellent service. First the place. It's a 19th century townhouse near the center of Lancaster that has been converted into a restaurant and bar but has kept many of the features of a luxurious Victorian town home. The bar is subdued and private and was spookily decorated for Halloween when we visited. The other dining rooms are welcoming with lots of wood and fireplaces lit with candles. It isn't loud and it is a place where you would like to linger awhile. Our server, Lindsey, looked more like an actress than a server, with a warm smile and lots of suggestions about her favorites when we asked. She was attentive and very pleasant throughout our meal. We selected two wines by the glass from an extensive wine list and started our meal with a Lindsey suggested, specialty of the house...lobster bisque. It was delicious with a taste of sherry and bits of lobster filling the bisque. Next came our entrees, a grilled cod served with root vegetables and break-with-a-fork short ribs of beef. Both were beautifully presented and delicious. After another suggestion from Lindsey, we ordered the house special apple tart in honor of the season. It was served with ice cream and was a great ending to an excellent dining experience.

This is a small local restaurant with really good food and wonderful and friendly service. It also had home made scones, banana and zucchini bread.Everyone in our family of 9 enjoyed their food including the grandchildren.The only negative is they do not serve pancakes or french toast which is what my husband prefers to eat for breakfast.

Four of us stopped on a Sunday afternoon. Busy at that time. Clerk took our order - one large pizza, one cheesesteak, one cheeseburger sub. After waiting patiently for app 30 minutes, others received their pizza. Another 10 minutes and one in our group got their cheeseburger sub and the other that ordered the cheesesteak received a chicken cheesesteak. Took back and employee tried to tell us that cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteak taste the same. Well, we are in Lancaster County and a steak and chicken are entirely two different things. After another 30 minutes and everyone done except me - yes the cheesesteak, I finally received it. Myself and another person (using a cane) had to wait in line all that time for cheesesteaks. Apparently someone was marking chicken cheesesteaks instead of steak cheesesteaks. No apology when sandwiches were finally done. Usually at that point, the meal is free. Then we were going to treat ourselves to ice cream which took another 15 minutes. Guess we just hit a bad day but manager should have seen to it that apologies should have been made.

Had been here years ago, and had a very good experience. We were looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, we ordered off the specials menu--my wife had tilapia. Was very spongy, definitely not fresh. I had a flounder. Somewhat bland, with a few small bones left in. Kids' meals were average, although my son started throwing up 4 hours later. Disappointing.

My aunt loves Willow Street Restaurant. Not only for the food, also for the friendships. We were in for dinner the night before Thanksgiving and realized that we forgot to buy corn. Since is was record freezing out, we didn't want to run into the store again. The owner of Willow Street Restaurant let us get corn from them!! We purchased a lemon merange pie and it was just like Grandmom's.

We are staying in Lancaster for a quick weekend and wanted to go somewhere for dinner that had actual parking, not street parking! Gibraltar is right down the street from our hotel. We walked in and the atmosphere was inviting and clean. We sat up at the bar because all tables were booked up, but the service was excellent. Very friendly bar tenders and they were very fun to watch make drinks! The food was absolutely incredible. They had a few specials for the evening and a small but cohesive menu. I got bacon and corn chowder, which was a special, followed by the lobster fettuccine. That was out of this world! We were enticed by a special strawberry short cake for dessert which was incredible!! Overall, a totally unexpected and delicious experience. Iâd recommend this to anyone in the area. Jut be aware, this is definitely an adult atmosphere, kids would have issues finding something to eat!Kvfarbman,Thank you for your review, we are looking forward to serve you soon again. :)
