    This was my favorite business inside Lancaster Central Market! I arrived a little before 7am and the two girls working were extremely friendly! I ordered 6 soft pretzels that were very fresh and buttery. The staff provided an extra bag for me (free of charge since many places are starting to charge a fee for plastic bags). The pretzel was outstanding! I normally take pictures of my food before I eat it, but this could not wait. I tried to only eat half and save the other for my boyfriend...but I couldn't resist and ate the entire thing. Highly recommend and the first place I'll be returning to when I visit the market again!

    Kom Essa I learned is the Pennsylvanian Dutch word for "Come eat" And eat they shall as people lined up to order breakfast sandwiches. When I walked up to order I am reminded about an era where things were simple and less complicated. No IPhones or electronic tablets to keep tabs on orders here, just plain paper and a pencil will do the trick. The menu is simple offering paninis, panzanella, homemade soft pretzels, cornbeef reuben sandwiches and pigs in a blanket. Business must be good since they ran out of eggs to make more breakfast sandwiches when I was there. I ordered the cornbeef reuben served on rye with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. The reuben was good and the cornbeef was lean and seasoned well. I also had the pig in a blanket. I think the hot dogs are not homemade. The dough surrounding the hot dog was buttery and flaky. Nothing spectacular just a plain hot dog wrapped in pastry dough. The girls working here are sweet and polite. Prices are reasonable and the food is unadulterated which makes it pure delicious and wholesome which is a beautiful thing.

    This was the best pretzel I've had in my life. It was made fresh, was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. Flavor was great, no bitterness, and just enough salt without being overpowering. Service was also quick! It's located inside in the marketplace.

    Fantastic food, service, and beers. Have visited a couple times over the past few months -- just…read morethe hubs and I, with a small group of friends, and with a large family group for a birthday -- and have been really pleased with the consistency of the experience, no matter how many of us there are, everyone has left more than satisfied. THE SYSTEM/ORDERING // Menus are on the tables, select what you like and order from the bar. Get your pour card so you can self-pour the beers of your choice -- try a little sampler or commit to a full pint, the choice is yours and you pay by the ounce instead of by the glass! I've been so impressed by how easy the system is to use and how many delicious brews I've been able to try for a really reasonable price! THE FOOD // The pretzels are the perfect shareable size for two (they don't last long at my table), the sandwiches are very generous (Turkey and avocado club was enormous, and the pulled pork was juicy and sweet), and the strawberry/blueberry salad was fantastic. They often have specials, too, like coney dogs. THE BEER // This is why you're here, right? There's been a really great variety of styles each time I've visited, and since it's pay-by-the-ounce, I've been braver about trying styles I'm less familiar with or trying styles that I don't typically like just to see if TF can change my mind. My favorites so far are stouts and IPAs -- Knife Fight in a Phone Booth (NE hazy IPA), Mint Maverick (imperial stout), War Bonds Breakfast Stout (oatmeal), and Because I Was Inverted (BIWI) Mango (milkshake IPA). My husbands favorites are the Blue Raider (Kolsch) and Calypso a unleashed (double IPA), which was a collaborative release. There is a cooler of cans for your take home pleasure, too. THE ATMOSPHERE // The space is decently sized, with a variety of regular and high-top tables, and a little makeshift bar near the ordering line. Inside they have a few TVs going, too, usually with sports on. Outside, they have additional seating that will probably fill up quickly once the weather warms up a bit. PARKING // parking is limited on their side of the street. The old Fulton bank is permanently shutdown, so people use the drive through lanes for parking, but there is a little lot right across the street for TF guests, and no one will block you in there.

    They have been closed for at least a year if not longer. At this point I'm just filling space.read more

    This is not usually a place I would visit, but when looking up places to go on a special occasion,…read moreaxe throwing just stood out. We parked across the street in the gravel lot, signs have the buildings number (252) on them designating the spots. Building does have stairs, but they also have a small lift for handicap accessibility. Interior looks exactly like you would expect in a place like this, full of wood everywhere. Due to COVID restrictions, you have to order food, and they have a basic menu that includes things like hot pretzel braids. Our group sampled various Mead's and liked them, but they do offer Beer and Soda. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The highlight of the trip and worth every dollar was the axe throwing. You purchase a ticket at the main register, walk over to the throwing area, and sign in. They give you clear instruction how to do it and you're throwing. The instructor was great and very personable. The throwing is very safe and our group loved it, even when we didn't always find the target. Absolutely would return here.

    Amazing beer/cider selection and so good! We got the sampler and it was hard to pick a favorite,…read morethey are all worth trying and buying!!! Axe throwing was such a great way to let off steam. The instructors were very knowledgeable and didn't hover or make us uncomfortable and they would offer tips as needed but just let us do our thing. I definitely recommend and will go back. They have a small off street parking area too.

    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!
