The menu has been gutted and now seems to revolve almost entirely around steaks. Paying $24.95 for a mediocre steak with what appeared to be store-bought au gratin potatoes felt more like a bad joke than a dining experience. If the goal was to cut costs and call it a new concept, mission accomplished. Sad to see a longtime favorite lose its identity. I won't be rushing back.

Piggy's Kitchen Bar is one of those lowkey brunch spots you almost don't want to tell people about…read more The setup is easy. Order up front, grab a number, sit wherever, and they bring your food. Only thing is they're walking around trying to find your table, so your food is just out and about uncovered. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. I had the mimosa carafe, which was good. Got the chicken and waffles with eggs. The eggs needed a little seasoning, and the waffle was kind of bland. The butter didn't melt, so yeah... that part wasn't it. Wings though? Really good. Crispy and full of flavor. Service-wise, I wasn't a fan of my table being used as a tray stand while I was still eating. At one point a busing tray was set on my table while I was mid-meal, and that just didn't sit right with me. But listen... the DJ carried this whole place. Music was on point. Old school vibes all the way through. That's what made me sit back and still enjoy being there.

The service was really disappointing.

They apparently forgot her order. They also brought a waffle instead of a pancake when that was the only thing one friend ordered. I wouldn't recommend the steak and eggs or the CROISSAMMICH. Coffee was mid. They also don't seem to check on you after food comes out, and the order-at-the-counter setup doesn't feel organized.

I've dine in at this place before and it was a great experience. I sat at the bar, and the…read morebartender was extremely friendly. She informed me that each cocktail was specially crafted by the "head bartender" and even let me try some samples. I believe at that time, I tried the Loaded Mashed Potato Balls and they were delicious/unique. This time around, I ordered the chicken Alfredo via DoorDash and had it delivered to my job. I can confidently say that my order was freshly made and was still indeed warm when it arrived. The sauce was nice and creamy and paired well with the fettuccine noodles and diced grilled chicken. The portion of the pasta was satisfying and was enough for me to eat about 4 servings from it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very lowkey and chill but nicely decorated and well lit. I would consider this restaurant and specifically this location a hidden gem.

Service: not great, we had a manager start off as our server but she was awkward in a "not socially aware" way (ex. she kept saying our server had to use the bathroom, even when our server came to the the table and looked so embarrassed; she also told me my non-alcoholic drink order would not taste good without knowing it's what I drink at home), rushed us (every time she said she would give us a moment she'd come RIGHT back to the table within seconds) Our actual server started off rocky as well, perhaps wasn't having a good day and she was visibly annoyed with the manager. She was short and blank with us until she realized we're very nice lol and by the end, her tone and energy had completely shifted for the better. The foreign object: about 2/3 of the way through the meal, I bit into a small piece of blue plastic. Did not know if it was in the fish or the mac and cheese, but I was devastated because I was almost finished eating but couldn't due to paranoia. Our server handled it swiftly and the manager came and let us know it was take off the bill and offered free dessert. Overall, not bad and the food was good enough to where I would go back and give them another try in the future.

FM Kitchen is the same owner and supplies limited food items to PKL. I was still hungry evem though I didnt get to play, so I ended up coming here. They have a larger menu with more substantial items, although it's still a casual environment. I tried the prime chicken fried steak even though the waitress couldn't say which cut of beef it was. It comes with green beans and mashed potatoes which are pretty good. Outdoor seating was full on a nice evening so I had to sit inside. Unfortunately there was a huge birthday party table inside as well, so it was super loud. Just my luck, I came on a bad night for both establishments. I also tried their version of a painkiller which comes in a nice jar and is decent, just not very strong at all. Painkillers are known to be very strong tiki drinks so they missed the mark there. The price was only $10, so you get what you pay for. I recommend they add more alcohol and bump up the price a little for it to be a proper drink. I was a little confused on who the waitress was the entire time as a few different employees came to my table. Also, a 2nd waitress tried to take my order about 5 minutes after I had order. I understand the whole community effort thing, but if theyre going to do that they need to work on their coordination/communication so this doesn't happen. CFS - it was a little on the dry side since the meat was pounded so thin and that basically left mostly breading for each bite. I had a much better version in Ft Worth recently for around the same price and was even larger. The green beans came with sliced raw almonds and sautéed in garlic which were good and the mashed potatoes were decent. Overall, if I ever returned I would try their hamburger since it was another pretty popular choice on the menu.

We were warmly greeted by Mark soon after entering the restaurant. Our server, Fernanda, was polite, welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. We shared the bacon wrapped figs stuffed with blue cheese as our appetizer. Followed that with sharing the beet salad. The figs could even serve as a dessert! I ordered the beef short ribs-they were fork tender and delicious. My husband enjoyed the rack of lamb. It was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Our cocktails and glasses of wine did not disappoint. Thanks again to Mark for making us feel so welcomed. Hope to see you again soon.

This restaurant sits inconspicuously at the ground level of the Lancaster Hotel and has gone through many iterations over the years. We were lucky as it was quite empty minus the small bar section. The World Cup quarter finals were playing and had the attention of almost all. There were a small handful of people dining in on a Saturday night. The menu boasted quite a selection with some innovative selections plus reliable favorites. We started with the deviled eggs collection, which if you're a fan of deviled eggs, you must order! All but one was delicious and recognizable as a deviled egg. The one I didn't enjoy had a really sour flavor. The Caesar salad was exactly how I enjoy it! The white anchovies and capers were the perfect addition as was the parmigiana reggiano. The uncut hearts of romaine were nicely stacked. The croutons though were some of the worst I've hard. They were not crunchy, and instead they were reminiscent of stale bread. They needed a lot more butter as well. The Lancaster crab cake was pretty good but not top tier. Some high quality lump back meat would have really elevated this. I really enjoyed the extra thin and crispy potato sticks and frisse that were served with the crab cake. The sweet chile like sauce brought it all together nicely. I sampled some of the pork ribeye requested medium, and wow was it tender and juicy! Definitely a must try if you're a pork fan! My dining partner didn't enjoy the potatoes though and felt they could have been creamier. The sangria I ordered took quite some time to concoct and make its way to my table, but it was a strong and a generous amount. Despite the flaw we found in each dish, we still enjoyed the meal and would welcome a return visit.

The bartender however was rude. There were maybe 3 people at the bar and they all had drinks. She had gotten done with the last person and was finishing up the transaction on the palm reader. She then proceeded to walk past us twice, look at us looking at her, then walk by again. When she noticed we weren't going away she asked what we needed and took our order very annoyed. We ordered two shots a beer and a tequila tonic. They were meh and her attitude made it not worth it. The rooftop bar was self service so every time we wanted to get a drink we would have had to go downstairs to get it from the bar so we opted to just leave after our one shot and one drink each. We both liked the decor and the music though. There was plenty of backing around the back. The bathrooms were coed and clean.
