Chili&#x27;s

Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

This was my 2nd time coming to Mad Chef!…read more The first time I came here was about 2 years ago (before doing yelp reviews). I was not very impressed. This time around I cannot complain! Their specials are all revolving around the Masters which was unique! We tried the Pimento, Fried Green Tomato, Chicken Sandwich (The Pimento Birdie). This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!

Parking is plentiful, and the drive-thru actually moves, which is a minor miracle for an ice cream spot this popular. If you're anywhere near Lancaster, do yourself a favor and give this place a try.

Harvest Seasonal Grill is such a fabulous restaurant for seasonal menu with creative flair,…read moreincluding the cocktail list as well as food quality and presentation. Our most recent experience on 6/27 did not disappoint in any way and elevated our satisfaction. Megan C. was our server and she was dynamic as always. She takes time to listen, is attentive and knowledgeable. Other team members/supervisors were also friendly and were genuinely interested in feedback. For a restaurant to excel in all areas is rare. Harvest Seasonal Grill is one of the finest, and finer than some "fine dining" establishments. We enjoyed the Raspberry Yuzu Martini which was perfectly balanced. The sweet corn chowder will forever be remembered as being so delicious that we were glad we did not opt out of that since we knew we also wanted the Korean BBQ Pork Dumplings. Those were delicious with a zing of spice to keep it interesting but not be overbearing. My husband was very pleased with his Spicy Shrimp Noodle Bowl. He needed a bit more oomph and was brought siracha to please his palate. My Summer Beet Salad with added salmon was perfect, truly. The vinaigrette was light and refreshing but with lots of flavor. The peaches and beets were both fresh for the season. And a big delicious yes to the peanut butter chocolate dessert mini. It was the right size for us to share but selfishly we wanted more because the peanut butter mousse was whipped to perfection. The only bad thing for us is that the closest Harvest is about 30 minutes away in Lancaster. York desperately needs a Harvest for the consistent quality, seasonal flavors and overall high rating

We ordered the 10 Honey BBQ wings, well done, with ranch and celery, cheesesteak eggrolls with no Sriracha ketchup, Fried Chicken Caesar Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries. The wings were definitely the highlight for me. They were fried perfectly, nice and crispy, and the Honey BBQ sauce was applied just right. They were cooked and sauced to perfection. Absolutely delicious! The fried chicken Caesar wrap was also very tasty and something we would happily order again. The sweet potato fries were different but a must try as well. Unfortunately, the cheesesteak eggrolls were a bit disappointing. While there was plenty of cheese, they were substantially lacking in flavor. We felt that adding some grilled onions and additional seasoning could make a big difference and really bring out the cheesesteak flavor. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely order the wings and fried chicken Caesar wrap with sweet potato fries again. With a little more seasoning and flavor in the cheesesteak eggrolls, this would have been an even better experience.

Chili's is by far my favorite restaurant and this restaurant is one of my favorites I have been to. The food is always amazon, 99/100 and the service is always great, all of the waiters and waitresses are fabulous, 100/100. The only reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is sometimes the food can be a little bit slow but it usually isn't. If you're looking for somewhere to eat in the lancaster area, for sure go here. read more
