Decor/service: nice small brewery. Parking seems to be pretty rough as we had to park on side…read morestreet couple blocks away. The service was pretty bad. The food came out in a reasonable manner but our server couldn't have been any slower. 10-15 minutes before she came to take our order. Forgot to bring a drink, then spilled the drink. When we were done eating we sat there for a good 15-20 minutes until we grabbed another waitress to get our bill and to go while our server stood chatting with other guests the majority of the time we were there. Really a shame because the food was good. Plenty of allergy friendly options. Burger was cooked well and flavorful. Bacon could have been a little more crisp but not bad. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well but the service really brought it down

Also got a side of the mac and cheese which was good but just needed a lil extra salt :). Fries were awesome and waitresses behind the bar were so attentive! Would go back if we are in Ephrata again

I would recommend to friends & family in the area! The staff (including owner) were beyond friendly and the food was delicious. Don't let those 1 star reviews fool you.

Run, don't walk the Rural City. If you want the feel of a local community bar/pub with great, well…read morecrafted beer then Rural City is your place. The range of available beers will suit everyone in your group. I am a local. This is my regular, go to spot and I've been to every craft brewer in Northern Lancaster and Southern Berks Counties. The staff is exceptional in helping people select beers. The food compliments the beer offerings. The rotating variety of egg rolls is unique. If you remember the former brewery, which shall remain nameless, forget it. Rural City will blow it away. Drop in and say hello to Ben and James (the owners). This might easily become your go to spot.

Visited this place from out of town and saw a HUGE beer garden on the website. Sadly when we went…read morethere was no beer garden but that place was still pretty cool. You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though! Food menu was pretty big. The burger and tacos were delicious, the mozzarella sticks only had 3 sticks which seemed too small to be app. Overall nice place with friendly staff.

Fives guys deserves 5 stars! When I walked in I was completely incognito they totally didn't think…read moreI was a food critic. There was a total of five guys working there what a coincidence lol. I am huge fan of the Coke machine. I've been trying to cut back on soda but come on that machine has every flavor I could even dream of. Besides the point who doesn't like free peanuts! I had a total of 5 peanuts and enjoyed every one before my food was ready. I was feeling a little nutty lol. The burgers were so tasty. Kinda regretting not getting bacon but their burgers are perfection even plain! If only they had a chicken sandwich. That would've had me acting up! Their fries sizes are way above average lol. I would only recommend getting a small because they give you so much. Their fries one of my favorites in the game! Highly recommend!!!

I'm so torn in the writing of this review, because I love or loved the Olde Lincoln House (OLH)…read morerestaurant, but this particular meal on Valentine's Day, was sad, disappointing and unforgivable. Even though I made a reservation, the parking (both lots), completely full and in semi-empty spaces, held heaps of snow. We partially parked on the side, of a heaping pile and my husband had to scoot his butt, past the steering wheel, to get out of the car. Why am I harping on the car parking situation? Because, if this restaurant choose to stick to those who had reservations, only; I feel there would have been ample parking available. I would have preferred to sit downstairs, dimmed lighting, wooden beams and overall, cozier feel. Yeah, I should have spoken up as to where I would have preferred to sit, but now I'm feeling slighted, by the lack of courtesy shown towards someone, who had the foresight to make a reservation in advance. Upstairs we went - bright lights, white table cloths, nothing cozy or hinting of Valentine's Day. That's okay, I'm thinking; the food will be good. A crock of onion soup, as a starter - perfect, actually, not too salty, caramelized onions, bubbly broiled cheese, savory onion broth, no complaints here. Medium-well prime rib, served raw, with a butter knife, no accompanied horseradish and over-cooked potato slices, undercooked zucchini. I sent it back to the kitchen. The same steak came back to me (not a new one), thirty minutes later, with the proper steak knife and horseradish. My husband's entree of five smallish scallops - decorated by halved, charred brussel sprouts on either side, looked more like an appetizer. This meal burned a huge, unimpressive hole in our wallet.

She was a legend and did her best and worked her a** off. So in a sense service was a little slow but understandable.
