    Fish and chips... super shareable cause it's huge. Delish!
    Emily S.

    Wonderful food! We went for dinner early September. Everything was fantastic. My husband said it was the best burger he ever had. Perfectly rare like he likes. I had the steak salad. Very good! Super big portions too, so I'd say things are shareable. :) this is a great restaurant. Service was perfect as well! Sooo highly recommend! The decor is very cool also.

    Was in the area on the 4th, and we were looking for something that we hadn't had before. Found this place, and wanted to give it a try. We were blown away. Our service was excellent (I think our waitress's name was Sheila, but please don't quote me on that as I'm horrible with names). The food was amazing. Each of the three of us got a salad, thinking that it would be a "normal" size. Well, as you can see from the pictures, there was nothing normal about this size. My salad was $15, and it looked like it could've fed two people. Not only that, but it was absolutely delicious. Cannot wait to come back and try more!

    Great upscale restaurant without destroying your bank account. Food was full of flavor, portion are healthy, tavern fries were great, mussels portion was huge enough for three guest. Main course meatloaf, stuff shrimp and brick chicken. Each was full of flavor, and enough you won't go hungry.

    Wow! Thanks once again Yelp! Minutes from our hotel and oh so good in all ways! Fireplaces, reasonable drinks and killer food! I had a steak salad and I swear there was a whole (rare) sirloin in it! Joey loved his burger too. Our server, Sheila, was a sweetie too. A definite spot to return!

    Amazing tomato bisque soup here. The sweet potato and apple soup wasn't super flavorful. The apricot gojuchang wings were so tasty. The duck was a bit disappointing. A bit salty and the sauce was a bit tart. The vegetables were oversalted as well. Good service and nice atmosphere.

    Waiter recommended crab cakes, and I was excited, hard to find good crab cakes in this area. Was horribly disappointed, tasted fishy and old. Sides were good. Very disappointed, even after hearing great things about this place. Wouldn't recommend or not returning.

    Popular spot in Strasburg area, no longer open for lunch, they open at 3. This restaurant is next to a hotel, and close to many attractions in the area. We arrived with a reservation early in the evening so there was not a problem but when we left there was a line out the door waiting. The service was good, and we were promptly waited on. For food, most folks had the tomato bisque, a big seller here. The chicken club pretzel would have been good if the meat was not so tough. Salads were large just as an FYI. The fresh brew iced tea was very good. Moderate prices, plenty of parking, and friendly service.

    Went for dinner today after seeing Daniel at Sight and Sound. This was my 3rd time eating here but 3 of my 4 friends first time. They have yet to disappoint. Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Our waitress Amber was awesome and food was fresh and delicious. We all ordered a variety of items and all enjoyed every bit. If your going to Sight and Sound dinner at Fireside is a must or if your just in the area dinner here is a must. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Foods to try, scallops, muscles, the Tavern Fries, Fish and Chips, the Pork Chop and Chicken Parm. They are all delicious

    Reliable local eatery that gets tourists and locals as clientele. The veggie lo mein, with chicken, that I had recently was delicious and was at least two meals! My husband's fish sandwich was really a sub, and the cod was very good. Everyone likes their tomato bisque. They always have specials including drinks. The service is almost always polite and prompt. It is generally a little lout, and not a quiet dinner spot for romance, but depends on timing.

    I stopped by here yesterday with my family for dinner. We had ridden the Strasburg Railroad earlier…read morein the day and were looking for a place to eat when I fired up Yelp and found the Tavern by Spring House Brewing. It is located on East Main Street in downtown Strasburg. The inside consists of a large main room with an L shaped bar, a number of TVs, and then a second dining room off to the side. Since no one was seated in the second room and we had twin four year olds with us, we chose that space. Unfortunately the TV in that room was broken, so we were not able to watch the Steelers game that was on. Aside from that, the room itself had a cozy and slightly eclectic feel. There was a decorated Christmas tree lit up in the corner near the staircase which gave the space a warm seasonal vibe. The walls were decorated with brewery signs and beer themed banners, and a bright yellow decorative mantel stood out against the darker wall colors. Overall it felt casual and welcoming and worked well for a family dinner. For dinner on this evening I went with the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak while my wife chose the K Town Mac Bowl. The menu described my wife's dish as three cheese cavatappi pasta with smoked pork slaw, Korean BBQ drizzle, sesame seeds, and scallions. My sandwich was described as smoked chicken, American cheese, buffalo sauce, gorgonzola, onion frizzles, ranch drizzle, and a hoagie roll. I thought my sandwich ended up being good, especially since it was chock full of chicken. The hoagie roll was toasted and buttered nicely and added a good crunch, which the onion frizzles helped reinforce. The gorgonzola added a nice pungent pop of flavor. While I did get some buffalo flavor, I definitely could have used more. Because of that, the sandwich was a little on the drier side despite having cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch drizzle. My fries were seasoned and had a nice texture, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Spring House Brewing, a flight consists of four beers and I chose the Cucumber Salamander, Backroads Shadows, Daily Planet, and Love and Rockets. The Love and Rockets ended up getting mixed up and I was instead served Grease the Poles. I started with the Cucumber Salamander, which is a sour. It was a bit tart right from the start and that carried through to the finish, with a little extra pucker at the end. Up next was Backroads Shadows, a lager with a crisp, clean start before the malts came through on the finish. This felt like a really good easy drinking beer. Third was Daily Planet, an IPA that had citrus up front followed by a solid hop presence that carried through the finish. Last was Grease the Poles, a pale lager that started off very clean before finishing with some lighter hop notes. Out of the bunch, the Cucumber Salamander was definitely my favorite. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Our food and drinks were good, and I would be interested in trying more of their beers.

    Service was lacking. Waitress seemed annoyed and not happy. Wait was not long for a table but…read morewaited quite awhile to be greeted. Looked like there was only 2 servers for the entire place which was busy. My husband liked his chili, so that's the two star review. He said it had a lot of flavor. I had the brisket sandwich which was very small for the price with not a lot of meat. The meat had no flavor at all. Was not served with the au ju, which I had to ask for. Unfortunately, the au ju did not make it any better. The Cole slaw had a good flavor and was not sweet, so that was the best part of the food.

The shop is located on East Main Street and has parking on both the side and the back. From the outside, I did not expect it to be very large, but the interior ended up being surprisingly spacious. The main area includes the ordering counter along with display cases and a Christmas tree, as it was right before the holiday. The cashier was especially nice to my kids and told us about a play area located in one of the side rooms, which we immediately headed toward. That room could seat around twenty four people and had wood floors along with black metal and dark wood chairs. The real win for us, though, was the kids play area. It was set up like a miniature version of the coffee shop, complete with play food and desserts, which kept our kids happily occupied while we enjoyed our drinks. For my coffee this morning, I went with the Gingerbread House Latte, and my wife chose the same. The coffee was very good. You got a solid coffee flavor up front, followed by a clear gingerbread note, and then it finished with a pleasant sweetness that lingered for a bit without becoming overpowering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and while I did not eat anything myself, my wife enjoyed her berry Nutella croissant and my daughter really liked her parfait.
