What a nice find! Nestled into the corner of a strip mall, this upscale BBQ restaurant took me by…read moresurprise. I find a lot of bbq in PA isn't much to write about. However, this place was great for me. I asked what was smoked that day and was told brisket is fresh every day and pulled chicken and ribs had just come off, so that's what I ordered. Let's break this down! The brisket was juicy with a nice dry dark bark crust. The meat was incredibly tender, breaking apart on my fork. A little fatty that didn't render but that's part of brisket. The rub really set off the flavor of the meat and I did not add any sauce to it, it simply wasn't needed. The chicken was my favorite meat. Served with no sauce, it was evident it was sitting in its own juices and that kept it moist. With chicken being so easy to dry out, this was great. The meat had great flavor and was oh so tender and juicy. I did try out some of their sauces with this and decided the smoky bbq spoke to me. My only negative of this joint came from the ribs. As I take my first bite, I have to pull something tough and get slapped in the chin by it. Say it isn't so! You leave the membrane on? Why oh why would you do that, nobody wants to eat membrane! Such a disappointment as the ribs were cooked well and the meat was tasty, although definitely the driest of the three I tried. For sides I had the street corn and the potato salad. I loved the salad, tons of flavor. The street corn was a miss for me as I did like the corn itself but when I'd grab a feta crumble in with it I did not enjoy the combination. The waitress brought me some greens to try as she could tell I didn't dig the corn and I ended up loving them. When you can pack that much flavor into greens it's a winner in my book. Speaking of the waitress, she's the reason this is five star for me. I was going with four star because of the membrane on the ribs however she is great and deserves a shout out. So kind from the moment I walked in, checking on me, making sure I enjoyed everything, and wanting to make it right if I didn't. She seemed to care so much about the business I thought she was an owner, turns out she's just proud of the place that she works at. Kudos miss, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name but you said you were the only server so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who I'm talking about. Thank you for such a pleasant meal and experience, I'll be back for sure!

It came with 4 chops and a strange side that couldn't be quite identified. It was sort of like a bread product shaped like a triangle, very dry and an unpleasant texture for us. The excellent chop saved the day. One main course was the pork ribs. The serving was very generous, the meat so tender it literally did fall off all the bones, and the smoky flavor quite good. The pulled pork sandwich was generously filled and had the same smoky flavor. The sides chosen were potato salad and beans. The beans were okay but did taste like canned ones and had very little meat in them. The potato salad was fine for those who like theirs with big chunks of potato, but we prefer a smoother potato. It was a disappointment. The desserts chosen were both a huge disappointment. The peach cobbler tasted like canned peaches and had a very off-putting flavor. The apple bread pudding was literally almost all bread and had far too large chunks of the bread rather than preferred small pieces. As for the apple, it could not be tasted at all and we only found one very small piece of apple in the large serving. I will say that the Cinnamon ice cream that came with the pudding was delicious and at least gave us one decent sweet item. All in all, we might try again (especially for the lamb chops) but will not be in any hurry.

We opted for a Fried Whiting dinner and a Fried Perch dinner (son has been in his fish era). Went with Baked Mac and Cheese (x2), Beans and Rice, and Cole Slaw. The wait was reasonable and the place affords a comfortable space to sit and converse or browse Yelp. There was a steady flow of walk in traffic, placing orders and picking up. Several Dashers hurried in and were handled politely and in a timely manner. The minimal staff worked well moving orders from idea to delivery. Our meals were delivered hot from the kitchen and every bit as expected. Portion sizes were large. Food was fresh and flavorful. Hot food was hot, and cold food was served cold. This is one of my pet peeves so I took notice. We didn't enjoy any drinks with our meal but they do offer fountain drinks, Philly Ice? and maybe some lemonades. To wrap it up....Don't sleep on Pecan Tree Cafe. They have obviously been doing it for a while and have a good handle on delivering a quality food product. Service was a plus, front and back of the house staff were friendly and attentive. Be looking for them at this year's York State Fair where they will be taking their food to the fair, and soon coming to those of us on the east side of York. They will be a welcome addition to both!! Can't wait to go back and try some of the BBQ Beef Shirt Ribs!

The customer requested for it to be exchanged for even just one scoop (she ordered a few scoops) so she could enjoy it w her child which was denied and she was made to seem like she was in the wrong. I think this was a great opportunity to just admit the mistake and exchange the customers ice cream for one she could actually enjoy and learn for future reference to clarify it's "spicy mango" ice. Additionally, the owner was called on speaker and he immediately spoke extremely rudely about the customer which made them more irate. This went on for about 10mins about 2 feet away from me while I was waiting to be attended. Early on, I offered to just pay for a new one and to please just give the lady a new water ice, the customer accepted but I was ignored by the employee and the argument continued. Very uncomfortable situation. Food: Got the shrimp cheesesteak, potato salad, and collard greens. I went in with high expectations, the food was good but not great. We heard of this place via social media so we were super excited to try something new. Between the service provided and the food not being mind blowing, I don't think I will be returning.
