Updating my previous review. I came back this time not as part of an event. Their actual sit down food (not catering food) is actually quite good. I ordered their pizza and you can tell they make it fresh. Their selection of ciders are also very refreshing. Service was also improved this time. Taking off one star because it's still on the pricey side for what you get. read more

Been here twice now on the recommendation from family. Stopped once before the Tartan Terrors at the Appell Center and again just cause we enjoyed it so much the first time! I'm not a heavy drinker but I enjoy a social drink now and then. They have an excellent selection of seasonal brews for every taste. (I like more light beers while my husband and father in law prefer the darker ones) Food wise you can't go wrong with their BBQ. I had gotten a fish and chips special in March and I wish they still had it on the menu! Fish was so light and crispy, not greasy like most I've had. This time I had the half chicken which came with a corn bread muffin, baked beans and BBQ sauce. Chicken was so tender and juciy, I had enough for another meal. Husband had the brisket sandwich and just the plan brisket the next time. Said the sandwich was better, not as dry as just the meat. We made the mistake of ordering an appetizer and soup with our BBQ trays and all the food came out within 10 minutes of each course. Waitress apologized that the BBQ platters don't take long to get together so its just something to keep in mind. I remember the first time our appetizer and entrees came out later so it really depends on what you order. Both times we got the large pub pretzel with crab dip. So good! I do recommend reservations as it seems to fill pretty fast. It's a large open restaurant with beautiful decor and outdoor seating that will probably open up with the warmer weather. Just watch the timing and what you order or you might end up with a buffet like we did. Plus side, it was all good left over! read more

What a great spot! This place is expansive - feels a bit like a lodge that has an outdoor patio with seating. They have a full blown menu - I got the tuna poke nachos (the wontons were great) and my husband got the Philly cheese steak. I got an 8oz of the Gelato Pineapple and Coconut beer which I enjoyed so much I bought a four pack. It's sweet so not something I'd drink a lot of in one sitting but love that it was different. Also, our server was good - we were in and out fairly quickly. read more

First time here. This place is amazing. Love the inside layout. You can eat on two separate floors. Games for the kids to play with upstairs. Our server (Michael) was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and always on top of things. I ordered a BBQ sampler and it was really flavorful.. The beer was excellent also. Will be returning when we are in the area. read more

My wife and I had a late lunch there today. They had the best onion rings we have ever had. Meaty cuts of onions with the most magically crispy outer. Mind blowing. My wife and I split the BBQ platter. We just moved from Texas where brisket is king. The brisket was great. It was tender and juicy. Our server let us know that some customers complain about the fat on the brisket. I need to explain that this is how BBQ is done. That fat is necessary for flavor. If it's too much, just pull it right off. Just letting you know they do it right. The facility is super cool and I can't wait till fall to enjoy the outdoor seating by their firepits. We really enjoyed our experience. The service was great. We got our BBQ fix that we had been missing. Thank you! read more

Ample parking and plenty of seating inside, outside and on the floor above. It's a beautiful building and we had no trouble finding it. It did take awhile to get sat since there wasn't anyone at the front but once sat, service was quick. They don't have flights but they do have 8 oz pours. We tried the Sound Machine, the El Tejon and the Big Hill Cider. Loved the cider, it wasn't overly sweet and had good flavor. I did like how refreshing the El Tejon was and my husband really enjoyed the Sound Machine. For a quick bite, we ordered the Brisket Melt. I wish it had a little more sauce on it but overall it was delicious. The fries were really good. Family friendly and friendly and attentive service, would definitely recommend coming here. read more

I'm a regular here with my friends. This place ROCKS and if you have not been here in awhile since their opening a few years back, I highly recommend you come back and try their food again. They hired new chefs and management, and the menu has been revamped. 1) Onion ring tower - awesome (heavy but expected) 2) Truffle mushroom pizza - best pizza if you're a truffle and mushroom lover. Perfectly done crust, nice truffle flavor, just divine you must get this 3) Thai chili salmon - their salmon is perfectly cooked "medium", tender, some of the best salmon I have ever had with tender rice and bok choy Their ciders and beers are also great! The ambiance is super impressive as well with tall ceilings, live music, ample seating, and firepits outdoors. I've hosted several group events here and they were always able to accommodate us (even with large groups of 12-15 on the day of). This has got to be a staple in York that you come to! I'm so surprised that it only has 3.5 stars! read more

My husband and I moved here two and a half years ago and we frequented it quite often at least once a week if not twice the food was spectacular and the service was just as good however the past 6 to 8 months the food has not been even close to the way it has been before not talking about the menu I'm talking about the quality and the taste. It doesn't compare to the way it used to be I know there's a new Chef we spoke to multiple servers about the new show well all I have to say is you need a new chef we have not been back in several months we tried it twice with the new chef and each time was just as disappointing. Which makes us very sad because we love the place we love the Ambiance the people and the menu but the execution of the food is not the same and not worth the price read more

Gorgeous building. Very busy on a Friday night! Lots of families with kids too. Got seated right away, even though it was busy - it's a huge space. Got drinks - my husband was delighted with the beer options and loved the single hop All Citra the best, and he is a beer snob (in the best way!). The Sauvignon blanc was ok, but I realize that is not their focus. We had calamari to share - good flavor, but more pillowy than crisp. The platters are the way to go - $20 for a ridiculous amount of terrific food! The pulled pork was smoky, tender and homemade sauces were perfect. Sides of coleslaw, beans and a cornbread muffin were all tasty and a nice sized serving. I had enough left for another whole meal! The brisket was awesome too - got a chunk from my husband. Our server was Allie - she did a great job - there when we needed her, knowledgeable and nice as could be! The food is served quickly, which was nice if you are traveling. Overall, a fun experience in a beautiful setting and a very reasonable price. read more

Place is picturesque, almost a campus style area. Staff was attentive and very polite, all food was simply superb including appetizers. The menus had an assortment of items including things for people with gluten allergies. Others stated the beer was really good, we also liked the glass wall food visibility into the brewing operations. Overall a very clean and well thought out location. The outdoor portion looked great with massive fire pits. This was a phenomenal spot in which I would totally visit again. 10/10!! read more

Dined with relatives yesterday. This is the 2nd time we've eaten there. The pizza was very good, but two things will probably keep us from going there more often. #1-The noise level is horrendous. Although the facility is extremely inviting, apparently no concern was given to the acoustics. We were 4 people sitting at a small table for 4 and couldn't hold a conversation. The noise level caused others to yell in order to communicate, which made matters even worse. #2-The comfort of the seats was absolutely terrible. If you didn't have built-in padding you were in trouble. Although you go to a place like this to eat, not talk. The seating alone would be enough to keep me away from future visits. Hats off to the design and food quality, but the seating comfort would only earn one (1) star. read more

Great spot a bit south of York off the Leader Heights, PA exit off I-83. I'd been wanting to visit for a while and things lined up on a recent Thursday South County is an impressive facility. It is tucked away in a secluded wooded area not far from the interstate. Parking is plentiful and the grounds are beautiful, with indoor and outdoor options. Though South County doesn't offer flights, you can order 8-ounce pours--which is what I chose for a selection of four lighter beers. All were fresh and excellent, and I plan to return to try additional selections. For food I enjoyed a basic pepperoni pizza which was excellent. Lots of other tasty options on the menu as well. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The bartenders were clearly busting their butts and hustling. Service was very attentive but NOT intrusive or annoying. Overall: great spot. You may have your own opinions on specific beers my overall experience was impressive. I'll definitely be back to try other beers and menu items. read more

What a fantastic brewery! A secluded oasis- ample parking- with a plethora of beautiful indoor & outdoor seating options we settled into an outdoor spot, cozy around the firepit- they don't offer flights, so we ordered a few 8 ounce pours to run through their massive IPA selections- there wasn't a bad beer in the bunch! I rated everything ranked 4-5* (out of 5-on untapped) they all had such a hoppy crispness with varying unique fruit, dank, or piney blends- (well priced pours) we ended up buying a few 4packs to go (& I love their ability to create your own 4pack at a flat price!) we didn't get food, but I always like to glance at menus for future visit knowledge- they have a decent variety, but nothing jumped out sounding delicious "want to try that" more just 'hungry have to eat'- prices range from reasonable to "hmm that seems high", but a few items passing by looked good-so I'd have to try some to fully judge but the beers really stand out! definitely recommend going for the beer & ambiance read more

South County - gorgeous patio - Breweries Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

Had lunch here recently on a Saturday. I ordered the bbq chicken platter for $20...Consisted of a half chicken, tiny clear plastic cup if baked beans which were delicious but when I say small I mean miniscule, a tiny cold corn muffin (two bites) and Cole slaw which had NO flavor, no sauce at all, dry as dirt, eating raw cabbage, Horrible! $20 for a tiny bit of food, ridiculous! My husband had the trio of meats platter for $30, the sausage had good flavor but extremely tough, the bbq was good, the brisket was full of fat, practically inedible. Beautiful building, nice waitstaff, but the food is subpar. In the past I have had the cheesy grits and shrimp and enjoyed it, I have no intention of blowing over $50 for crappy food there again. read more

went to dinner with friends at 6:45 pm Friday. at a local Mexican restaurant and immediately new it was not for us. only a few people dining and was plenty of parking. went to the bar to get a tequila drink only to find out they sold there liquor license and had homemade cocktails with agave based margaritas! we left and went to South County. place was packed. ( good sign) and it has two floors and plenty of comfortable space! We ordered delicious constructed cocktails and mexican style beer (El Te Jon) delicious, the scratch menu did not disappoint and we the service was excellent even as busy as they were.

Wonderful staff and service. The decorum and ambiance is absolutely fantastic. The prices were moderate, and loved the Charcuterie board (great blue cheese). The pulled pork was worth it!!! Excellant. For me the brisket was a little dry, as was the sausage link, though very flavorful. Very willing to try other menu items, and make this place our new southern York spot read more

Made it back to SCB-York for Wednesday night music. We heard Keri previously, thought this would be a good way to break up the week. The large space definitely accommodates her bold voice! Always impressed with the drive entrance and outside impression of this building. Impressive. I still wish for a large, rectangular bar right smack in the middle of the place... Our server was very nice, and checked on us often. The chili was good! Onion rings too greasy, bbq chix pizza very tasty! The Stellar was my beer choice for the night. Was hoping Day Runner session was still on, it is more my style, less hazy... I enjoyed watching the young floor staff do their thing, tending to the people and the space. SCB remains clean and organized. read more

So the facility and the outdoor space is amazing! The wife had thebspiced apple cider and loved it. I was DD, coke for me, grabbed some carryout. The Festifall is real good and similar to Octoberfest. Also tried the light Lager and it was pretty tastey. My wife had the wood fired pizza, and it was fairly large and was delicious. Alot of pepperoni, with a little spicy kick to it. I had the brisket sandwich with potato salad. The brisket was very good..the potato salad was not what I was expecting. Service was amazeballs! Looking forward to our next time at South County... read more

I visited South County Brewery for the first time on Friday, October 4th mid-day at about 2:30pm. Because it was mid-day, it really wasn't that busy, so I did not have to deal with any crowds. The building and grounds are just absolutely beautiful with plentiful parking in the lot. The inside is also gorgeous with a lot of wood, great views of the actual brewery and an upstairs area, which I imagine is open during busy times. For my late lunch, I had the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich. This thing is massive. I felt that they put the largest possible chicken patty/breast on a bun they could find. It was wow! The taste was great, with a little bit of a kick. It came with fries on the side. I had to take half of it home, as it was just so big. Rather than beer, I had the peach blackberry sangria and it was also just my cup of tea. I would definitely come back to South County again! read more

Service was great! Ambiance great! Wouldn't order a steak here again unless you like chewing on leather.

Didn't even get to eat. We were treated like trash from the hostess, so we walked. We came in, and walked to the hostess station. I had a big smile and said "Hello!" (I was in a great mood before hand)Told them we had 5, and she immediately asked us if we could leave by 6:30. It was 5 o'clock. We went 20 mins early to have a drink and appetizer, and wait for our other 2 people and it was about to dump rain in 10 mins. She asked if we made a reservation, and my husband said "no, cuz we looked at reservations for 5 and a bunch of time slots were open." So, had we made a reservation, we could've stayed past 6:30?? I mean, c'mon. That's dumb. We are visiting from out of state, and talk about not feeling welcome. Then she said, "you can sit outside". And my husband said, "it's about to rain." She then said nothing, and my husband said, "well, we can go spend our money somewhere else." Her response was "Oh well!" What a shame, we are HUGE tippers. Someone missed out on what would've been a big check and a big tip. I'd think twice about who you have at the front door greeting guests. We won't be back. Pic below is of the available spots had we made a reservation. What a shame. read more

This was our second visit to South County and it was even better than our first great visit! SCB reminds me of a destination brewery due to the amazing venue and style of the building. Lots of seating areas and two bars (one on each floor) and great personalities of employees. This visit we sat upstairs at a high top for 6 with only 4 in our party, which was nice not being crowded. Our server was amazing throughout our entire visit! The food menu is not extensive, but offers a variety of high quality food. I'd rather have a less extensive menu with great tasting dishes than the opposite. We started off with the beer pretzel and pork rinds. Both were good. The entrees we tried the pizza (delicious crust and cooked perfectly), the cheese burgers (some of the best I've had recently), and the Cubano (tasty with homemade pickles). All these came with fresh cut delicious fries. The only small "miss" was the sticky toffee pudding dessert (too dry and too small of a scoop of ice cream). Now to the beer...Honestly some of the best craft brews I've had recently. A good variety of styles, all of which were solid. Their stouts were spot on and their IPAs crushable. The overall hit this visit was the Phosphene Dream! I highly recommend adding South County Brewery to your stops if passing near York, PA! read more

On 3/18/2025 we visited South County for drinks and dinner. As always the food was incredible We the Brisket eggrolls, Mac and cheese, pulled pork and the BBQ chicken. Both were amazing and highly recommended. Their pizza and brisket chili is also really good! This is a favorite spot for me and I have visited often without thinking of leaving a review, and for that I apologize. The experience I had last night with my server Kiki was outstanding! She was extreamly helpful. Friendly and genuinely nice. While I have never had bad service at this establishment, and all the interactions I have had with all the staff has been exemplary; last night was particularly above par even for the high standard I have been shown repeatedly at South County. With the day I had yesterday at work this was exactly what I needed. The food is always incredible, the drink selection is vast and the establishment in general is spotlessly clean. Id like to publicly commend our server Kiki as well as all the other staff at South County who keep this establishment impeccable and the experience memorable. Probably the best hidden gem in York if not Pennsylvania. Respectfully Submitted, John read more

It makes me sad to give this rating but I have to. This was our fourth try. I really want to love this place. The ambiance is amazing, the brews are excellent, the service is always good. But the food. I hardly know where to start. This time when you get three different meals and an appetizer and the best thing you can say is it was a good side salad you know it's bad. I'm not sure what was the worst but I think it was what they called sauerkraut that came with the sausage platter that is the winner. As a person of German heritage who annually makes his own this was an insult to Germany and sauerkraut. And the Cole Slaw, well the chef obviously has a thing against cabbage in general. Please, please do something about the food read more

First time visiting South County Brewery after a work meeting. Sadly I'm not from the area so I'm not sure when I will return but we all had a phenomenal time. This spot was recommended to us by our business partners and it didn't disappoint. We got the charcuterie board, pizzas, & chili along with espresso martinis. Initially I wanted an entree but missed the "after 4pm" comment on the menu but the pizza was delicious. It was a beautiful establishment and wasn't too busy since we went early afternoon. Would love to come back in the warmer months to experience their outside areas. read more

We went with friends last night . The place looks lovely but the sound of all of the people in the room was near unbearable. I could not even hear my friend who 2 feet across the table. I ordered Ribs and I was so looking forward to them. I love ribs. When they came to the table they were very near raw. I could not even tear a bite of meat from the bones. I asked that they give me a 1/2 rack that was done. I was informed that this is the way they do their ribs. They brought me another rib plater and all the other stuff with it, when I only asked for the ribs. That rack was just as tough. The beans were so spicy that they felt hot in my mouth. No one informed me that all of this was going to be so very spicy, that is except the cabbage slaw, which had very little taste at all. All in all, it was not a good experience. read more

I have had their beers from local distributor for years and always had high regard for quality. So glad I had the chance to visit while at a tournament. What strikes you first is the grand view of the property and structure. Gorgeous venue in York. Beers selection is impressive and there's a shop for merchandise and to go beers. Jen from the bar was very helpful. Enjoyed two beers and a pulled pork sandwich. All were well executed. So glad I had the chance to have the beers fresh and on tap. read more

We came here with friends. Liked the 8 oz options to give the beers a try. Lots of good beer selections. I had the falafel sandwich special and it was very tasty.

This will be a regular place of ours. Pretty new to the area and this is setting out to be one of our favorites read more

This is a Wow! Beautiful place, pleasant atmosphere and with a beer hall look. I don't know about the rest of the year, but for the holidays it is so pretty and impressive! And the BBQ - SOOO GOOD, and a bargain at $20! Had the chicken platter. Best baked beans ever! Chicken cooked just right and the sauce was yummy. It is on the sweet side, fyi. The cornbread with the sweet cinnamon butter was okay; serving it warm would have made a world of difference. The rest of the menu begs to be explored. Pleasant staff. The beer was fine. Perhaps if I was an IPA person I'd feel differently. Was hoping for more hearty and malty winter brews but did find the Dark Thread Porter to be very good - smooth with well balanced flavors. The Marzen FestiFall was a bit underwhelming but certainly not bad. Very impressed to find this place in York and highly recommend! read more

South County - Monte Cristo Sandwich with fries and sauce. - Breweries Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

I love this place. It's huge first of all, lots of space. We came on New Year's Eve for lunch and it is decorated so beautifully for Christmas. We got the pretzel and crab dip as appetizers. Both were very tasty. Although my son did say "it's not the best beer cheese" my husband got the brisket sandwich which he loved. I got the smoked chicken Gouda pizza. It was ok, couldn't really taste the Gouda, but the smacked chicken on it was so good. The fries were really good too. They have a whole barbecue menu that I wouldn't mind trying next time we are in York. Friendly service as well. I don't really like beer, but my husband enjoyed the beer. read more

SC is a beautiful venue. The entire place was busy and festive with a great mix of families, couples, groups, etc. the beer was tasty. The service was very good. The white pizza was delicious. The crust is exceptional and Caputo's cheese is a bonus. The other three in my party had barbecue platters. The meats were very good. The cornbread was heavy. Too cakey. The baked beans were very bland which was a surprise. We ordered a brisket egg roll app. It was good but came out extremely greasy. We will come again. We enjoyed it. read more

We dined here for St. Patrick's Day. Gabriel was our server again and he anticipates every need. The Menu Choices for us were Irish Stew made with their On Repeat Stout. The Beer Battered Fish and Chips were delicious. Their Onion Rings are always a must have. The Stew and Fish were very rich in flavor. The finale was an Irish Donut made Bailey's Irish Creme center. With music to celebrate the evening, we could not think of a better place to be. Tim and Judy read more
