    The receipt and the two menus prices.
    Keith B.

    The menu price is different than the QR prices. I was charged the higher price, which is on the regular menu. Scan the QR for the lower price.

    This is a really cute & hipstery bar and restaurant. I came kind of early in the day so I didn't get anything to drink but can't wait to come back and try their drinks. The staff were nice, our waiter was really to the point. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was so good, I can't wait to come back and get it again. Definitely recommend!

    This place is officially my new favorite--I'll definitely be coming back. Everything we tried was amazing, and the drinks were on point. The lemon tart was so delicious, literally melted in my mouth.The staff were incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

    Chicken sandwich

    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.

    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.

    As an AV resident I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. Finally had the chance. For appetizers we got the Ceviche and Roasted Cauliflower tacos. Both of them were incredible would definitely recommend. As my entree I ordered the Airline Chicken. The chicken was juicy but not really my favorite taste palate. The presentation was nice. Overall would recommend. The

    One of my new favorite places in the Antelope Valley. Enjoyed the ambience and decor. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was tasty and the drinks were nice and strong. Overall, this restaurant did not disappoint and I will be back.

    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.

    Ancho fish tacos.
    Sally C.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Do you have outside dining?

    No, they do not.

    Is this place good for a family dinner?

    This is not a place for kids. They mostly cater to people that want to have cocktails and share unique foods and appetizers. It has an adult atmosphere.

    What are their hours? Not posted here on Yelp & when I have called, no response

    They just changed hours not long ago so that they are now open seven days a week at 11 AM until 10 PM, but an hour later on Friday and Saturday night.

    Schooners Patio Grille - Caprese salad with vinaigrette dressing

    Schooners Patio Grille

    (319 reviews)

    While driving through Antelope valley today my husband decided he wanted to get some breaded fried…read morezucchini and looked up places that made them. That's how we wound up at Schooners today. Food: Super large portions. Not many healthy choices. We ordered the fried zucchini. It had a nice seasoning but it was too greasy. The caprese salad with vinaigrette was soggy and beyond disappointing. Figured that was the healthiest choice on the menu. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The loaded baked potato was swimming in melted butter. A lot of butter. The bacon was actually the star of the plate. This place is where you come to share several plates. Service: Great. Jamie T. was our server. She was super friendly and had such an upbeat personality. She checked back with us several times to make sure things were going well. Ambiance: Typical sports bar scene with big screen TV's on the walls. Plenty of parking.

    Food: A+ HUGE portions! If you want to get your grub on, go here! There's enough to share and then…read moreleftovers too! Service: A. The service was almost impeccable. We sat at the very NFL Playoff bar, and our bartender got to us as soon as he could with a smile. The only regret was clearing one of our glasses away a little too quickly as it was my water I like to have alongside my adult beverage. Ambiance: A+. This place was hopping! People at the bar were extremely kind and offered to move over for us so we could sit together. The team spirit here was entertainment in itself! Dietitian Dorothy's tip: Definitely split the dishes here. Some of them (nachos, fries) are BIG enough for one person to eat for a week!
