    I am struggling to think of a restaurant I enjoy as much as Skoob's. The food is incredible every time I have been there. After the French Onion soup my wife had the Steak House Weck off the specials list. Shaved prime rib with sautéd mushrooms on weck roll. She loved it. She raved about how good the soup was too. Prime rib was delicious. I went with the Skoob's Village Royal. OMG it was the best sub I have ever eaten. It was huge! So much meat on this thing. I could only eat half after enjoying the piping hot crispy fries. Dining room was busy and Liz did great job waiting on so many tables by herself. If you have a chance to try this place, I couldn't recommend it more.

    I've heard a lot of great things about the wings here at skoobs. Finally, I was able to make it over here to see what they were all about. The bartender got me set up with a nice tall jack and Coke , within a few short minutes, I had my drink and the order for my wings placed with the kitchen. While I was waiting, I got to enjoy some sports on the TVs that are in the bar area and to make some good small talk with some of the other patrons. It really gives you that local bar feel where everybody knows your name. My single order of medium wings came out nice and hot and best of all crispy. Their medium was the perfect buttery Frank's sauce, nice and thick and a healthy amount to sap my wings and on the plate. I love bleu cheese, the claims that I heard about theirs lived up to the hype. I can easily say this is one of the top five bleu cheeses I've ever had. Nice and chunky. The only negative is I wish I had more. With so many other enticing menu options I definitely need to come back and try more of the food here.

    Haven't been here in a while so thought we would stop on in. I was in the mood for wings, they were crazy expensive and nothing to write home about. The salad was huge which was good considering I he price. Always check your receipt! About to pay and saw they charged us for 2 different salads when we only ordered 1, glad my wife looked before paying!

    Brought a friend with me this past weekend. She had never been here before so I thought it was perfect. There was a loud crowd, but that was to be expected because it was saint Patty's day weekend. There was a wait, but they had a few no show RSVPs, so they took us right back. Our poor waitress was running around like a mad woman, but we couldn't fault for her this as it was really busy. Waitress came around to take our drink order, and it took her a few minutes to come back around to take our food order. This probably would've been a good time to let us know what they ran out of, because my friend tried ordering 3-4 of those menu items. Our food arrived and my fries and my burger were warm, not hot. I can deal with a warm burger, but I don't like warm fries. I let the waitress know and she brought me a fresh, hot order of fries. Queue our bill. Skoobs is one of those places that charges you extra if you're paying with a credit/debit card. I had the cash to cover my $22 and some change. I put $40 in, and the waitress took it away. We waited for her to swing back around with our change. We must have waited for 25 minutes before I had to hunt someone else down to ask for my change. She had to hunt down our waitress, who admitted that she thought the extra almost $20 was her tip. Never once did she ask if we needed change, she had just assumed. This is not the first time this has happened to me here. I was annoyed. She ended up giving me my $20 back but this shouldn't have happened. If an establishment offers a small discount based on paying cash, the waiters and waitresses need to make sure they're giving the proper change back.

    Great place for above average bar food. We got soups, salads, wings, roast beef, all delicious. Service was great, staff was nice, food was hot and tasty. Chill atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

    After being asked multiple times what we want to drink I finally gave up and asked for water. It didn't taste good, anyway.

    Skoob's is a lively bar / restaurant located in the heart of Lancaster. They are known for delicious chicken fingers and Friday's traditional fish fry. Their menu is full of typical bar food including wings, sandwiches and burgers, along with some soups, salads and appetizers (Skooby Snacks). I had a problem finding anything without meat or bread, or not being fried. Fortunately, it was a "Gone Fishin'" day, so I was hoping for a juicy, flaky, and flavorful piece of fish. Sadly, it wasn't the case. Well, it's hard to find a fish fry place that serves a decent broiled fish as an option. My lemon pepper haddock was overcooked, lukewarm and really nothing special - a big disappointment. Tartar sauce came to the rescue. The regular beer battered haddock was huge, hot, and crispy. It was a show stopper, and I think that's why the rest of our food had to wait. Even our fries were barely warm. The coleslaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad were fresh and very tasty. A slice of rye bread with butter was a nice extra treat as well. The crew working Friday afternoon was ready for the big evening crowd. Around four o'clock this place was already busy. The bar area also seemed very popular, gathering a decent amount of loud (happy?) customers. The type of service provided did not surprise me. Americans can be loud and, to some, obnoxious. Besides, I really don't like when someone checks on me too often during a meal. It's even worse when I'm still holding the cutlery and the server tries to take my plate away asking if I've finished eating. Also, the information on the menu about a 3% discount when paying in cash is not true. In fact, 3% extra is charged for a cashless transaction. If you pay cash, the price remains the same. It was a beautiful winter day and the tiny "downtown" of Lancaster felt charming and snug. We took a short stroll through tunnels of cleared fresh, white snow. Damn, if only my fish was better, this could have been the perfect adventure worth repeating. My partner enjoyed his food and pointed out that it was a very classic and traditional way to serve a fish fry in Buffalo, New York. With all the fixings, including the slice of soft rye bread with butter, he would definitely recommend this Friday fish fry to anyone. P.S. We returned :). Our server, Taylor, was very pleasant and efficient. My French Onion Soup was delicious and satisfying (say cheese:). The broth was on the lighter side, but still flavorful, not too salty, and had just the right amount of herbs. The Skoob's Village Royal Sandwich was, as described, full of meat and this time the fries were warm. I left Skoob's on a much different, better, note than before. Thanks!

    Came in on a busy 4th of July. Host said it was a fifteen minute wait so we checked the bar area. No seats except bar high tops. Was told that was twenty minutes, but we took it anyway. Within minutes a girl came over and said she'd be right with us. Then Colin came by and took our drink order and asked about food when he got back. In twenty minutes we had food and drink. Ordered the prime rib sandwich which had crispy fat burnt ends which were soooo good! The rest of the sandwich was pretty lean. I don't like prime rib and I liked this sandwich. I ordered the bang bang chicken sandwich from Colin's suggestion. It was crispy and tasty with none of those yucky cartilage bits in it. Served on a ciabatta roll I was only able to eat half. There's plenty of parking, a lot next to the restaurant and street parking as well as another lot by the music store a half block away.

The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!

So, when I arrived at 11:15am there was only one other couple seated. I walked in and said hello to the waitress (think her name was Sally), she gave me a very dry hello, I told her I was waiting for someone, she said they weren't there yet, sat me down for two, said something else but it was under her breath, I couldn't hear her, didn't feel very welcomed but it's okay.

I looked at my wife and said, "Let's do it, we'll try the fish fry!" So off we went. The special on the menu was grouper. My wife had her heart set on that. Unfortunately our very sweet waitress said (at 7:30 pm) that they were out of the grouper and breaded fish fry (my choice, lol). So our start was a little shaky!
