on orange

nice breakfast. i have tried many restaurants in the downtown lancaster area, but never quite noticed on orange which is nestled behind an unassuming storefront on orange street not far from central market and all the hot spots. i was taken there for breakfast by friends recently and was pleasantly surprised. the chilaquiles is a breakfast dish consisting of ground chorizo in sauce topped with avocado and fried eggs. it was delicious, though the portion was a little small for the price. breakfast also comes with fantastic, fresh buttered multi-grain bread, which i had to order an additional piece of.while the food is a little on the pricey side, i would recommend stopping in for a quality breakfast.

very good omelette. nice and quick servers. very good coffee. cute little place with funky decor! really enjoyed our breakfast. we would consider coming back next time in town

this is a great little find in downtown lancaster. it's small and busy so if you have an adversity to small places or need a good bit of attention during your meal this is probably going to disappoint. the one negative review i read i decided to dismiss as an overly needy diner and after dining here that was correct. nice eclectic atmosphere but not over the top. knowledgeable and accommodating staff, although busy we still found them professional. the food was great! the oatmeal eagle , a first for me, was different but still familiar and had great flavor with a little texture that i enjoyed. my family all had eggs different ways and the potatoes and tomatoes and they were perfect cooked. i found the bacon to be perfect as well. i don't enjoy lots of fat or extra crispy bacon and this was the perfect balance of both. i would definitely recommend stopping here if you want something a little different.

when you walk into on orange the restaurant appears very small, the downstairs is actually fairly large which makes the wait relatively short. i had the swedish pancakes and they alone are worth the trip. the service was friendly but slow but. the place was crowded so i wasn't too upset about the slow service. i would recommend a trip to on orange if you are in the area.

my husband loves it here. i on the other hand had a bad experience and i would not recommend this place for anyone with food allergies or picky children. they were not at all accommodating of my food sensitivities. i am nursing my 5-month-old son and cannot have dairy or soy because of his protein intolerance. i even planned ahead by looking up their menu online. i ended up with just sides but i could've dealt with that if the service had been better. the answers to my questions were curt and made me feel like i was a huge waste of time. all i heard while ordering and asking questions was nope, nope, nope. the waitress made one suggestion which ended up still having soy in it. maybe they need to become a bit more flexible with their sparse menu.

in central pennsylvania it is one of the few places you can get a spicy breakfast dish. two, actually: the indian omelet and the chilaquiles. there are sunny seats upstairs, cozy corners downstairs and tables on the back patio in warm weather.  the hearty whole-grain toast alone is worth the trip. some restaurants are all attitude and no good food. others just give you what you pay for. on orange impresses with simple quality. it's the perfect start to a lancaster weekend. http://onorange.wordpress.com/menu/  

oh. my. jeebers.. so good. we were searching for something interesting to go to and we found it! amazing food, charming atmosphere within a building with much history, and awesome people running the joint - absolutely nice and helpful.

i had the breakfast special omelet. - smoked salmon, goat cheesr and spinach with 7-grain bread and potatoes. my boyfriend had the chiliquiles - we shared and loved both!! a definite recommend for both visitors and locals!!

absolutely amazingly good at everything! omelettes, chilaquiles, sandwiches & swedish pancakes. don't miss this gem!

awesome breakfast! french toast and omelets were both fantastic.

on orange is on the ball!. wow! every time i eat at on orange i am impressed with how quickly food is brought to the table. it's hot, it's yummy, and it's more than good sized portions. what's best about on orange? i can order breakfast all day!. who hasn't had a day where the proverbial cloud is hanging over your head. i have your immediate remedy - go to on orange and order breakfast at noon!

the staff is casual, yet efficient and polite. the owner is amongst the staff - so don't be surprised when she delivers your food or checks on your coffee. the ambiance is eclectic but clean and put together. i love the counter & funky bar stools. or sit in the huge window and watch the lancaster life go by. a restaurant that's part of lancaster's impressive gallery row - you'll want to be in this neighborhood forever. everyone is friendly and so much to do within walking distance.

i can't wait for my next breakfast (or lunch) at on orange... maybe pancakes this time!
