Great service and great food!…read more From the hostess to the waitress, everyone there was very attentive. The place was nicely decorated. There was a separate bar area also, where only 15+ was allowed. Our food came very quickly and was delicious. We got wings (nicely done with their own spin for sauce), grilled salmon wrap (huge!, and French dip sandwich. Eberything tasted fresh and seasoned well. Portions were large, too. The price was reasonable too. This is a perfect stop on the way to Penn State. Will definitely come back again.

Their soda machine was definitely on the verge of being out. When coming over with the drinks, he had spilled them a good amount. The service wasn't too attentive or friendly. Granted they weren't mean. The food just wasn't a vibe in my opinion. The boneless wings were nicely moist in the middle, so that was good. Just wasn't too satisfied here. Loved the decor and the layout though. Just needs better service and more options.

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.

Very cool decor of all the room entrance ways of the signs of the old beers that have been tapped. Nice little merch section by one of the entrances. You order either by qr code or going up to the kitchen it self. Tried the Bratwurst Platter from their specials menu and the pierogies. Both amazing but both on the small side for the price. They have a bunch of their own homemade beers to choose from.

Finally made it back to Spring House...on a Saturday for early dinner…read more Used the dog porch on the right side. Service at the window was great. I see that Seven Gates Pale Ale made the year-round menu, very cool. I'm NA these days so I passed (sigh) but very glad to see this flagship beer in its rightful place. Two Butcher Platters were ordered. Well done! Everything on the platter was excellent. Brisket nicely sliced, not shredded. Two Smashburgers were ordered. Excellent flavor and two patties were very fulfilling. Well done. I'll add, get the sweet potato tots, amazing! I had chips as a side and they were also hard to beat. The doggie chicken was awesome...for the dog... Thanks Spring House, keep up the great work!

I wish I had his name but the guy who took care of us the entire time was fantastic! He greeted us promptly, explained the process of ordering at the window and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I started with a 10 oz of their hazy IPA. I then had the pickle cheese curds which came with a dill ranch and the boneless old bay wings. My pup got the burger patty off the doggie menu and by the pictures you can tell he enjoyed it =) All of the food and beer was delicious. The process for ordering through the window is super easy. In an effort to keep the dogs safe, all of the plates, utensils and cups are plastic or another safe material when dining on the doggie deck. Overall, Reaper and I had a great experience. The bartender will remember Reaper so please let him know we said thank you for the great service last week!!

I'm a big fan of porter and not enough breweries do that, but Iron Hill has an exceptional one. The Pig Iron Porter (5.4% ABV) has the expected strong dark chocolate, coffee and toasty notes while being less heavy than a stout. Pairs well with any meat dishes. The food is elevated pub grub. I really enjoyed the Brewben Sandwich: Corned beef, Vienna Red Lager-bacon sauerkraut, thousand island, Swiss and marble rye. I got it without the thousand island dressing. It was super tasty. The corned beef was juicy and the sauerkraut brought lots of additional flavor. Service was great. Will come back for sure the next time we are in the area.

I definitely would love to come back when it's nicer to sit outdoors. The staff was super friendly and made some great suggestions whether it was on food or drink. They were quick to grab refills and food orders. The drinks were awesome and I love the fact that they use local spirits. I enjoyed the margarita and my husband enjoyed his beer and old fashioned. The food was phenom! For a small place they have quite the menu with a variety. If you can't find something, you're super picky! Also... I loved the fact that there were GF options, which can be a bit tricky to find at places. The chicken nachos were awesome and a healthy portion. We also shared the shrimp and they were lightly coated. Lastly, the Nashville hot Chicken bites were AMAZING! Seriously loved the fact that it had some zing to it and was a generous portion. Prices were totally fair. Overall, highly recommend!!

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

We had the Cubano, cobb salad, pretzel bites, and beer flight.

Not being a fan of Irish food in general I was skeptical going to Annie Bailey's but was happy to have my suspicions be completely misconceived! First tip, get here early. We got to AB's at around 5pm and put our party on the wait list. They estimated 40 minutes so we pulled up to the bar for some drinks and conversation. 4 of os with the last 2 stools open at the bar. Just as the last drink was provided and we toasted, our table was ready (maybe 20 min). They lead us up stairs and seated us north of the elevator. Every table was occupied. We ordered, conversed, and the apps got to the table in a few minutes. Seemed like no wait at all. Before we could completely finish the apps and first round of drinks, the food arrived.

The atmosphere was lively, our server was attentive, and everything came out at a good pace. We started with the wings and nachos, which were both excellent and easy to share with the table.
