When the waitress finally arrived, she mentioned she was the only one working and implied that the slow service would continue throughout the evening. Thankfully, my husband quickly looked up another local spot, and that's when we found Captain Krab Cajun Seafood & Boil--what a blessing! Not only did we enjoy incredible food and exceptional service, but both the server and the owner went above and beyond to make our daughter's birthday truly special. We were treated to fresh, delicious seafood, a sparkler candle dessert, a plush gift for the birthday girl, and even a light-up birthday sign! We felt like part of their family. We ordered oysters, clam chowder, boiled eggs, baby clams, and snow crab legs--everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. You can even customize your meal by choosing from four different seasonings and five levels of spiciness, which makes it ideal for families or groups with mixed tastes. One of the most fun parts? You can write on the walls, tables, and even the ceiling! They also have a claw machine for the kids (and kids at heart). We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! P.S. It's BYOB!

The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

HOW did I not know this place existed?!…read more I went to Franklin Street Social with a few friends on a random Wednesday evening a few weeks ago, and I am not exaggerating when I say my mind was BLOWN the second I walked in. Let me set the scene: 13 restaurants. FULL commercial kitchens. One central bar. A historic factory turned into a warm, vibey, eclectic gathering space. And yes...an actual slide for adults that delivers pure, unfiltered joy. We arrived just before closing and had no issues with parking -- plenty of spaces right outside and well-lit, which is always appreciated. But the second we walked in? Game over. This place is STUNNING. Think warm string lights, wood accents, quirky design details, and little surprises everywhere you look. There's even a book vending machine. Like...what?! And then comes the real challenge: choosing what to eat. With 13 options, this was honestly the hardest part of the night. I strongly considered just committing to chaos and getting one item from every vendor, but maturity (barely) prevailed. For my first visit, I went with a tempura shrimp bowl from one vendor and grabbed a kiwi strawberry drink from another so I could at least pretend I sampled the variety. My adventure buddies did the same -- everyone ordered from different spots and we met in the middle at a shared table. That's one of the best parts of this place. No negotiating menus, no compromising -- everyone gets exactly what they want and you still get to share the experience together. The food? Delicious. No notes. The vibe? Immaculate. And yes... I went down the slide. Obviously. And you should too. Do not skip it. Pro tip: have someone waiting at the bottom to capture the moment because the smile you'll have coming down that thing is 100% genuine joy! Also -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- check out the bathrooms. I know, I know...weird Yelp detail. But trust me. Each one is uniquely themed, and the one I ended up in had animals wearing wild outfits. It was chaotic, hilarious, and somehow completely on brand for the space. Franklin Street Social isn't just a place to eat. It's a place to hang out. To explore. To people-watch. To linger. I could have easily spent hours there just soaking it all in. If you haven't been yet, make it a destination. Seriously! I'll absolutely be back -- probably with a bigger appetite and slightly less self-control next time.

Co-founded by Jordan Ilyes and Chef Ethan Greer, this multi-vendor food hall features a diverse collection of independent kitchens, a central bar, and plenty of space across two levels. The setup is ideal for groups or families because everyone can grab food from different vendors and eat together at the open hall seating. Vendor & Bar Highlights: The Central Bar & Local Craft Beer: The bar at the center of the hall serves a well-curated drink menu with craft cocktails, wine, and local draft beers, including selections from neighboring Black Cap Brewing Company. Layali El Sham: Authentic Levantine & Syrian street food. The chicken shawarma wrap, falafel platters, and silky hummus bowls (especially the muhammara blend) are standouts. Franchesca's Pizza: Serving solid New York-style, hand-tossed pies by the slice or whole. The Hot Boy (pepperoni, jalapeños, hot honey, and chili crisp) and classic vodka pies are favorites. Greer's Burger Garage: Excellent smashed-style burgers served on soft Martin's potato rolls. The Garage Fries--a mix of waffle fries, tater tots, and curly fries--are a must. Taqueria El Camino: Highly recommended for their rich birria tacos served with warm consommé for dipping. Thai Street: Authentic Thai street food, with the Khao Soi (curry noodle soup) being a clear standout. Hefty Lefty's: Generous hoagies and shaved ribeye cheesesteaks on fresh rolls alongside hand-cut curly fries. Lighthouse 153: Coastal New England-style eats, including buttery lobster rolls and jumbo lump crab cakes. Hunnie's Country Chicken & Slow and Low BBQ: Hearty comfort food like crispy fried chicken baskets and custom BBQ bowls. Between the quality food options, local draft beer selection, and fun touches like the adult slide and two-story kids' play space, it is a well-designed, welcome spot for Red Lion.

I tried the catfish, fried salmon (my first time...so good), collard greens stuffed egg rolls, and the shrimp stuffed with crab...which easily stole the show. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. They also offer a nice variety of sauces, from classic cocktail to a sweet and spicy. Service matched the food. Kay, our waitress, was warm, attentive, and gave great local recommendations. The owner, Kyle, even came out to check on us, which says a lot about how they care for their guests. Overall, a nice experience. If you haven't been yet, go check them out.

2-Star Review - The Men's Kitchen, York PA…read more I recently visited The Men's Kitchen in York, PA, and unfortunately the experience was mixed. Food: The highlight of the meal was the catfish nuggets -- they were truly chef's kiss and the best thing on the table. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The mac & cheese was disappointing. The lamb chops were overcooked; they had flavor on the outside but none on the inside. The greens lacked seasoning altogether. And the Brussels sprouts were the biggest disappointment -- they had no flavor, came in multiple odd colors, and were not enjoyable at all. I would definitely recommend skipping those. Service: Our waitress was polite, but she did not seem knowledgeable about the menu or the food. When I sent the Brussels sprouts back, she returned and informed me that I would still have to pay for them. I was disappointed that the kitchen was not willing to accommodate such a small issue. It was only $8, so I paid it, but the lack of flexibility from the chef was discouraging. Ambiance: The lighting on the tables was very nice and created a pleasant atmosphere. I also enjoyed the wall décor and overall aesthetic of the space. The staff appeared clean and professional. However, the chairs were very hard and uncomfortable, and the floor under our table was dirty. Overall: The restaurant has potential, but improvements are needed. Better seasoning, consistency in the kitchen, and more training for staff on the menu would make a big difference. At this point, it seems like the kitchen could benefit from stronger leadership and customer satisfaction. It was three of us and nobody would go back. My friends had pasta it lacked seasoning as well. The tea was the corner store tea made from tea powder.
