I had an enjoyable meal at Carr's last evening with friends. We all enjoyed what we ordered for our meals. The atmosphere was nice.

Some friends and I were in Lancaster for a girls weekend. We'd been to the spa and done some shopping, so it was a little late when we decided it was time for dinner - around 9:30pm. Restaurants close surprisingly early in Lancaster! Place after place was closed and we were about to give up when we spotted some people... More

We cannot say enough good things about Carr' s. While we are not creatures of habit, Carr's has most certainly become our habit whenever we visit Lancaster. The menu and specials are creative served in the right portions and are delicacies in their own right crafted from local ingredients.We have been here 20 plus times in the last 6 years... More

While spending a quiet weekend away we had the good fortune to dine at Carrs and could not have been happier. The server was engaged and caring. She was there when we needed her but not intrusive. Our meals were just superb. Shared the seafood scrapple appetizer and played tug-o-war to clean the empty plate! The shrimp ravioli entree was... More

Scheduled this for a holiday business lunch. It's been a couple of years since I was at Carr's though had no doubts about sponsoring lunch there. Food, service, and ambience was excellent. I introduced 3 individuals to one of Lancaster's most consistently excellent eateries!

Stopped in here around 8:00 PM on a Saturday. Fairly empty, but hostess informed us that most diners ate early in order to attend nearby symphony performance. Atmosphere was OK. I was expecting dimmer lighting, maybe because it is in a basement, but that was just my perception. Our server, Frank, was exceptional. A perfect combination on friendliness, efficiency and... More

I forget about Carr's. what a shame, because we always have a wonderful time there. Great food. Attentive staff. Terrific special selections. Never had grilled meat loaf before. I thought, well, you can get meat loaf anywhere. My wife ordered it. What a treat. I finished half of her's. My Mahi Mahi was wonderful. Not overcooked, and placed over a... More

Always enjoy going to Carr's. The food is consistently good. Excellent value for money. Nice location right in the heart of the City of Lancaster. Great for lunch or dinner as I visit there quite often for both.
