Hidden gem alert!!! The food... THE FOOD... THE FOOD. Seriously, I can't say it enough--the food at The Third Place is incredible! I've been here 3-4 times now, and every single visit has been consistently amazing. That's hard to find! Everything we've tried has been delicious, and I love that they even have mocktail options for my daughter so she can enjoy the experience too. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but in my opinion, it's absolutely worth it. The staff is wonderful, the ambiance is beautiful, and the upscale décor makes the whole experience feel special. I honestly feel like this place is a hidden gem because of its location. I would definitely recommend checking this spot out before Coach's Tavern. Come hungry because the FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. read more

This place is amazing! The food was absolutely delicious. It was so good that I completely forgot to take pictures because we started eating right away! We started with a French baguette served with honey butter and olive oil for dipping. Both paired perfectly with the bread and were incredibly flavorful. For our entrées, we ordered the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and the herb honey-crusted chicken on a brioche bun. Both dishes were outstanding and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant, peaceful, and welcoming. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back! read more

I came back and tried the food! I believe I had the brie burger( I don't remember what it was called) It was delicious, the flavors worked so well together, it's evident the food is crafted with intention. I did order it medium, in hindsight I should've ordered it medium well to capture more of the flavor of the meat and what other notes it would've brought out altogether. The burger came with potato wedges which had the perfect amount of crisp and soft potato. I also asked for pickles on the side, they were a lot more of a sweet buttery pickle rather than a dill, sharp tangy pickle. I'd like to come back and try it again with raw onions. I also had a cold brew martini, so incredibly smooth and frothy on top. Overall it was excellent, I was there to celebrate a recent major accomplishment and this was the perfect place to do that. Service and staff were superb. Big fan! Come try it! read more

Currently my favorite restaurant! I am literally going to keep going back until I try everything on the menu. The food and drinks are AMAZING. I've tried the mussels, shishito peppers and Brie burger so far, I highly recommend these. Who knew wing saw on shishito peppers would be such a hit? Delicious. read more

My boss brought us here for a company dinner. Customer service sucks the server Lady that served our food obviously told us that we had to be off of the table by a certain time. I guess they only give you like an hour or two or something like that anyway I ordered a $50 ribeye steak and I have to be honest that I really like Chili's steak better and that's only $16. read more

Place gives date night vibes. The service was great and good came out quickly. The drinks were delicious. Ordered the carribean mule and was a nice twist to a mai tai. The only negative comment is that the place does not offer a kid friendly menu making it expensive for a family outing. read more

Wish I would have taken some pics. Great food great beers great service. Low key dinner with the FIFA cup on the screens and not any ruckus. They have a wide variety of whiskeys, but seeing I was on a work trip I didn't partake. I had the Bahn Mi which was delicious with thick cut fresh jalapeño and great crispy steak on a perfect crunchy roll. Buddy got the mushroom risotto and roasted cauliflower tacos which looked great and must have been because they were gone in minutes, minimal minutes... like 3! Back up here again for work soon so will try more. read more

This place is lovely..food was outstanding....It was a birthday dinner and we came from out of town. Here lies the problem...We had a reservation- 7 in our group..we knew there was an automatic 18% gratuity/we were good with that. I guess when you automatically get an 18% you don't have to put any effort into that table. Our waitress didn't go any further than taking our order. Never saw her till I waved her down for refill on drinks and to order desert, never cracked a smile and she seemed put out. I'm a good tipper but I would rate her effort at 5 cents... read more

The atmosphere and hospitality is exactly what I look for in a restaurant. Dim enough to feel relaxed but not too dim where it feels like you need to work really hard to see anything, plus simple and elegant decor. The staff was so kind and attentive. The food was unique and we tried and enjoyed a few different plates. My favorite appetizer was the Sticky Wings, favorite dish was the Cauliflower Tacos (loved the salsa that comes with it), favorite side was the Cream of Zucchini, but we honestly enjoyed it all! read more

If you're coming here for drinks, cool. If you're coming here for food... don't. Presentation is very nice and looks good, but it is NOT good, and expensive af. Steak was not cooked medium as ordered, it was almost well done, chewy, and NO flavor at all. It tasted like the piece of meat was slapped on the grill with nothing. The side of steak fries were mid. The braised short rib was 90% bone with 10% fatty meat. The potato square tasted like it was just fried potato with nothing. The roasted chicken was one very small 30 dollar chicken thigh that was overcooked and chewy and unseasoned. It just tasted like bird. The side of mashed potatoes also tasted like just potato with no seasoning. The roasted carrots were probably the best thing on the table but they were still mid. The cold brew martini was good. The two waitresses seemed like it was an inconvenience that we walked in. We had always wanted to try this place but we were super disappointed. Sorry for the negativity but the food was honestly so bad read more

From service, food, and drinks, The Third Place is a fantastic restaurant for a delicious meal. Moody, but welcoming, The Third Place came up on our Yelp on our drive home. I had a Oaxacan Old Fashioned and my fiancée had a Berry Delightful, sub mezcal for milagro tequila. Both delicious - well balanced drinks with no shortage of flavor. Dinner was just as good. The steak banh mi is packed with flavor, and pairs perfectly with the shishito peppers. The honey chicken sandwich was also a hit. It's safe to say we'll be back! read more

The Third Place - Steak banh mi, shishito peppers, and the fried chicken sandwich. All 10/10! - Bars Near Me - Lancaster, California

Great place to have a quality bite if ever you're around antelope valley. Here for work. Recommended by a local. I ordered the seasonal menu of braised lamb shank. I can't pass up lamb. The consistency was perfect. Meat fell off bones but not excessively soft. It sat on a bed of white beans which gave it another twist to the whole meal. The taste of the meat needed a little more gusto, a little more umami I should say. But was good overall. I was happy with it. In fact I am here again today to order it again but they are out of it. Bummer. Explore the menu then. I also ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts salad that had nuts, and other crunchy things. It was great! Party in my mouth. I ordered the new York steak tonight. Let's see read more

Third Place is lovely. It's got great ambience and decor. Good for dates and girl's nights out, even took the kiddos here. Their food is of good quality and flavor, and so does their cocktails. Always get the mussels and/or the wings- they will not disappoint. The steak was cooked to perfection, however it doesn't really have a side, you've got to get it a la carte. Burger was good and the chicken Sammie was delicious. Tried a mushroom soup that I did not like, it was way too earthy. read more

This week I traveled to Lancaster CA, while in town we stopped by The Third Place. From the outside it's very unassuming, but once you are inside you find a very clean, esthetically pleasing spot for a drink or great meal. We ordered three dishes, all were very well prepared. I tried the fried chicken sandwich. Great tasting bun, good size chicken breast, with pickles and red pickles onions, a very nice touch, I loved the wedge fries that came with my meal, my brother ordered the house burger, he mentioned that it hade a great tasting bun and meat patty. His girlfriend ordered the airline chicken lemon herb pesto with some roasted pistachio carrots and potato purée. All the dishes were very tasty and were good sized servings. We finished off our meals with a few drinks the mule, old fashioned and smoky the bear. All were amazing. Everyone was very nice and engaging. We will return. read more

Cauliflower tacos great! Bar staff great amd attentive, but management??? Nope I recently visited this bar and witnessed interactions from one of the owners that left a negative impression. I completely understand that management has every right to address concerns such as employees potentially drinking on the job. If that was the issue, it is a legitimate matter that should be handled. However, the way it was addressed appeared unprofessional and disrespectful. The owner, a bald gentleman, stood behind the bartender while a drink was being prepared and confronted the employee in front of others. Later, he called over a female employee and pointed toward his office in a manner that felt more appropriate for disciplining a child than speaking to an adult employee. I do appreciate that he chose to continue the conversation privately rather than on the floor, but the tone and manner in which he directed her were unnecessary. Leadership is not only about enforcing rules; it is also about treating employees with dignity and respect. Respect should go both ways regardless of position or title. From what I observed, there seemed to be an arrogance in the way employees were spoken to, and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. A business can have high standards and still treat its staff professionally. Hopefully management reflects on how interactions with employees are handled, because the way staff are treated often says a great deal about the establishment as a whole. read more

The place has charming . The waiting area for tables was a bit confusing for everyone walking in...The waiter was excellent but the food was mediocre ...also there is no soda!. one dish was not to temperature and hard as a rock the other dishes were just ok and the desert was light. It was my first time so I will give it another shot and try other things on the menu! read more

Hidden gem in Lancaster . I came here on 2/25/25, Leslie greeted us and quickly sat us at our table . She went over the menu with us. As our appetizer we ordered the sticky wings and they were delicious. Our meals were well prepared . With good size servings. The cocktail I ordered was on point that I ordered two. We had staff check up on us to make sure we did not need anything and our drinks/ water were also refilled. The restaurant is clean , beautiful decor . Nice cozy ambiance. For being my first time here I really enjoyed myself . Definitely be returning. read more

The drinks...the food...the service!!! Impecable. A cozy stylish place for every day or special occasion. Our favorite spot!!!!

We will never go there again. My wife and I went there last night looking forward to another wonderful meal, with wonderful pleasant service, got to our favorite booth, but didn't even sit down, because the fumes from the nail salon adjacent to the restaurant permeate into and throughout the restaurant. Toxic cancer causing fumes is not what I want to be smelling, or breathing when I'm trying to enjoy a nice meal. Smelling is a big part of tasting. It's shame too. It ruins the ambiance. The odor ruins everything. My wife and I, and everyone we know love the Third Place, the food, the people, the service, but until the landlord gets the ventilation system figured out, we won't be back. What a waste. read more

We've been three times for lunch and enjoyed each time. Refreshing atmosphere, especially in the A.V. We split the mussels and a burger the first time. Nicely cooked burger and potato wedges. Mussels were so good, my husband wanted to come for them again. The second time I had the ancho fish tacos. Beautiful construct-it-yourself tacos. Happy to eat the fish on its own or in one of four small blue corn tortillas. Lovely salsas, and the pickled onions were a surprisingly tasty addition. Third time I had the onion galette, which tasted good, but was soggy on the bottom, which was a bit disappointing. Also, $8 for three pieces of a baguette with a lovely olive tapenade seems a bit steep, but my husband wanted more than the single slice that comes with the mussels, which he is hooked on. Looking forward to returning at a time of day when I can try one of their intriguing seasonal cocktails. Very happy that The Third Place is here! read more

The Third Place - Ancho fish tacos. - Bars Near Me - Lancaster, California

My husband and I love this place. This is our go-to "healthy-ish", fun and delicious dinner or lunch spot. I am always looking forward to their seasonal menu items. Our staples include the Brussels Sprouts Salad and Tomato and Beet Salad ( trust me). The level of detail placed in composing a dish; crispy quinoa, cranberries, almond slivers... I'm truly impressed. My husband loves the ancho fish tacos, cauliflower tacos and chicken sandwich. The onion galette is so good, and you can't go wrong with the air-line chicken. Save room for dessert! read more

I want to love this place but just about everything is a little off. The staff isnt quite but borders on rude, especially at the bar. The menu items read well on the menu but of the menu items I've tried only one time one dish was notable. The place, food and service aren't horrible, it's open till 10:00 and it's very near the AV Hospital, tucked away in a large, scrappy strip mall situation All that said, it seems popular and is cute inside but I won't be going back. read more

Ok folks I finally tried it! I'm here at third place and enjoying the dining room and bar and service so far. Negroni made well and with the nice ice cubes... the fish tacos are amazing and creative. They are served as a filet and you pretty much build your own. Ingredients are very fresh and flavorful. This isn't the fish tacos you get on the street but still relatable enough to appreciate if you are a regular fish taco person. Definitely did not disappoint! Had the fried chicken sandwich too and it was good as well, crispy and had a touch of honey. I'm definitely putting this place on the list for upscale lunch when in town! read more

Great friendly service ...didn't rush us and the menu has something for everyone. I had the tomato salad ---cool and refreshing with a flavorful bite ---just right for something light . A piece of crunchy bread would have been a nice addition but my hips really don't need it! Others in my party had the burgers and they said they were delicious! Very clean establishment and would recommend . The vibe was a little cold for me.....a little echoey ....but I would go back! read more

Absolutely wonderful!!! Great food, drinks and amazing waitress. Customer service was everything!!!

Took a friend to lunch. Absolutely perfect. I love the concept behind The Third Place name. 'A "third place" refers to a social space outside of the two primary places in a person's life: "first place" (home) and "second place" (work), essentially acting as a neutral ground for social interaction and community building; the term was coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his book "The Great Good Place".' Classy, elegant vibe. We had the squash ravioli (can you say "comfort food"?) and the Brie burger with a side salad. Hearty burger, cooked to perfection. The champagne vinaigrette is fantastic. I'd planned to have pumpkin spice flan but didn't save enough room. Maybe next time. read more

Let's check off the key things on the list: Service 5 - due to both the excellent service provided by Jackie, other wait staff, and very good bar staff. Food 3-5 - we've had mixed experiences, but mostly very good. There aren't any off menu requests accepted. One cannot replace ingredients. One can only remove specific items from a menu choice. Don't even ask. Apparently the chef's policy is absolute. Ambiance 4-5 nicely decorated and designed. Has a high end feel that is unusual for the AV. So why the 3 stars? One single experience. My wife asked the server (Jackie) if it would be possible to get a side of sauteed mushrooms. She said probably not as it's not permitted by the chef. We asked to speak to the manager to express our disappointment. When Jake showed up, before we uttered a word, he stated that it's just something they don't do, so no to our request. Then he turned and walked away. There was no dialogue. It was a one way conversation. In essence, we and our request were dismissed. The experience was incredibly off-putting. It was unnecessary to respond to a patron's request in that manner. Totally unacceptable. I write this review to memorialize the experience for others, because it won't matter to the owner/chef/management. It seems, judging by their total lack of response to other reviews, good or bad, that it really doesn't. Typical dinners we've had run a tab of $150-200 (including tip). We have visited 1-2 times a month for the past two years. We have brought friends and family on several occasions, generating additional per-visit revenue for the restaurant. Again, this doesn't seem to matter. So, sadly, we're going to have to take a leave of this place. Too bad really. read more

The restaurant was decorated nicely, it was warm and inviting. Upon arriving we were immediately greeted by and seated. Our waitress greeted us an took our order. Our order arrived shortly after ordering! Food & drinks were good. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the potato wedges as a side. They looked burnt , were hard and dry. read more

Came here to celebrate my 60th bday with friends. Waitress did not want to be at work. Bottom line. She was very rude, acted a bit bothered by us. Food in the past has been wonderful. Our order was mixed up, no big deal, we got through it. Food was bland, French fries lacked flavor and the steak was over cooked, but we didn't complain. When someone in our party mentioned it was my bday, the waitress loudly said, We don't do birthdays! Sadly, it was the Third strike. We won't be going back. The Staff needs a class in Congeniality! read more
