We live in the area and have eaten here many times. The building is a former "family restaurant" and the decor is a bit dowdy BUT the food is excellent. All the food is homemade and fresh. For that reason, be prepared to wait a bit while it cooks. Essentially you have a higher end restaurant disguised as a family... More

The food is worth the stop. Probably the only place in New Holland that seasons a steak. Service is usually good, waitresses are friendly. Only down side is the decor. Colors are drab, no real concept to the color/decor theme other than what's been there since the restaurant was "Peoples". Upgrade your look!! Advertise yourself as well!! We enjoy your... More

We both enjoyed pasta dishes, served with fresh baked sourdough rolls. The restaurant is older but clean, service was good, prices were fair, portions were a good size.

We ordered the turkey platter and were the only table in the restaurant. There were only three in our party and the waitress made several minor errors. A water instead of a Sprite on a refill with no real apology. We all ordered the same meal but did not have the same portion sizes. One of the members of our... More

Food cooked to order. Fresh ingredients. Never dissatisfied. Nice presentation. Not your run of the mill mass feeding steam table establishment.

This relatively new restaurant is a wonderful and welcomed addition to restaurant choices in New Holland. I personally love it because their meals are prepared with fresh ingredients, not something out of a can. Every meal I have had here has been delicious.

Not bad, but nothing to write home about. It was close to the bed and breakfast we stayed at, and we walked to it. Had hamburgers and they were ok.

We stopped here on our way out of Lancaster County for lunch. When we first walked in I was a little concerned - it felt like we had gone back to Mayberry. However, our server was very nice and the food was great. I had a roast beef sandwich -- the first one I have had in a long time... More

Boswell's is a dining experience that may be easily overlooked amidst the many all-you-can-eat buffet spots in Lancaster County PA. Deliciously crafted meals served in a timely manner. Our party had cheese raviolis, fantastic pot roast and pork mignon. PLUS an apple strudel for dessert that rivaled that served in Germany. Each meal was elegantly presented. The vegetables were cooked... More

We understand that the restaurant has a new chef owner. This was our first time in town, and we were quite impressed with our meals. I had sausage with potato salad (dinner), and the chef's potato salad reminded me of my mother's, with lots of hardboiled egg and dill pickles along with potatoes and mayonnaise dressing. The apple-strudel-like dessert was... More
