Garden Cafe

My favorite restaurant in York County! I’ve been here twice and it never disappoints. The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal. When I go out to eat, I want to eat something delicious that I couldn’t easily make at home. The food is high quality, affordable and really good. The ambiance is cute and homey with a classy country feel. Perfect for a date night, celebratory dinner or night with friends. Call to make reservations.

My wife and I first visited The Garden Cafe a couple weeks ago when some friends took us there. We enjoyed it so much that the following week we took my parents. The Garden Cafe is one of the most relaxing places we have been to in a while for dinner. Both times we arrived early and sat out on the patio talking and watching the turtles in the pond. Each evening was very comfortable outside. Our most recent visit, there was a wedding rehearsal taking place in their venue next to the Cafe. When you enter the restaurant, you enter into a country store with a variety of items for your home, health and to eat. Entering the restaurant it is decorated with all kinds of old southern decor. We have been twice and still not seen anything. The menu contains a wide variety of food which can handle any appetite or palate. There were so many good sounding items I couldn’t decide on our first trip til I heard the orders brought out for the table beside us. Four out of six ordered the Back Porch Steak, so I went with that. My wife had the Filet Minion. Both steaks were cooked to perfection and were full of flavor! Our sides were fresh and everything was brought out in a timely manner. Our second trip, I got the Shrimp and Grits and my wife got the Salmon with an Ice Tea glaze. Just like the steaks from our first trip, everything was perfect, hot, fresh and full of flavor. For dessert, I had the praline cheesecake and my wife had the buttermilk pie. I was Ted to try a different dessert on our second trip, but they were sold out of it so I went with the praline cheesecake again. The staff and waitress’s were very friendly and kept our drinks filled while continually checking on us even with the restaurant being very busy. We will continue to visit the Garden Cafe and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. We live almost an hour away and it is WELL WORTH the drive. They do require reservations for dinner, which we didn’t know on our first trip, but they were kind enough to work us in. Go early and enjoy the patio, or do like we did on of first trip, get a drink and your dessert to go and eat it on the patio!

This restaurant came highly recommended and boy did it exceed my expectations! Didn't know what to expect but this 1 of the nicest restaurants I've been too! From the hostess Nedra to our server Jane, it was a great way to spend an hour away from work. I had the bacon jalapeño poppers as an appetizer. I had the salmon BLT with fried green beans (upgraded side) while my co-worker had the special of the day which was a crab cake patty. Everything was awesome! Can't wait to go back!

This place is amazing, the steak almost melts in your mouth, and the scenery both inside and outside is astounding. I love it, it’s a rustic southern place, and the food I would definitely choose over what Texas Roadhouse and Outback cook. This food is cooked to perfection, and my absolute favorite was the cream brûlée! Yummy, will definitely go back again, 10/10!
