Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

This was my 2nd time coming to Mad Chef!…read more The first time I came here was about 2 years ago (before doing yelp reviews). I was not very impressed. This time around I cannot complain! Their specials are all revolving around the Masters which was unique! We tried the Pimento, Fried Green Tomato, Chicken Sandwich (The Pimento Birdie). This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!

Just picked up a Sweet Heat burger. I hadn't had one in a while. The flavor was great but the size…read morewas totally disappointing. This $14 dollar burger was not as big as a McDonald hamburger. So not worth it.

Cabalar. Best burger in Lancaster…read more Now their specials are always LEGIT. Lancaster Restaurant Week was serving up a Jibarito, corned beef, fried plantains, melted cooper, pickled onions, and mayoketchup. The sandwich was incredible! Such a good touch on a cultural favorite! I myself prefer it without pickled onions, but if you love onions, this is perfect! Cabalar is massively popular and will always require a decent wait for made to order items. I believe we waited about 25 minutes for this sandwich. Love the green and white throughout the restaurant. Awesome shirts for sale. The decor in here is awesome with paintings everywhere. Tons of seating and kids area upstairs!

Love Bobby Bays!!! Need one in MA ASAP! The fresh baked breads alone are a good enough reason to…read moretry. I could eat that alone. Fortunately you get to fill them with one of the many tasty choices available on the menu. My go to is the Turkey sandwich or the Philly chicken. The French fries are amazing. The truffle fries are good but can be a little salty so be careful w those. I went to two locations and one was willing to grill my onions where the other said they can't. Not sure why that is an issue but it's annoying because I don't like raw onions. Still that good that I went back minus the onions on another occasion. One location is small and hard to eat at inside but does have some seating outside (couple tables). The other location has ample seating inside and feels more outdated but has the charm of a diner. That's the one I prefer. Whenever in the area I always get my Bobby Bays sandwich.

This place....their sandwiches are out of this world!!! The freshest, soft bread. The ingredients…read moreare truly the most fresh and delicious that I've ever had on a sandwich. Service is always friendly and prompt at the shop - we order ahead for pickup and have never had issues. Try the Don Parma - it will blow your mind. Prosciutto, fresh arugula, mozzarella and fig jam. I have never had a sandwich this good! My only complaint is the price is a little high considering the size of the sandwich, but the quality makes up for it. A must try if looking for a great sandwich or sub.

Had a very nice experience at Bobby Bay's recently. I was visiting from out-of-town and my original…read morerestaurant selection was not open. I looked on Yelp and quickly pivoted here and I'm glad I did! The woman behind the counter was very kind and personable to everyone who walked in, there were free cookies that they were testing out that customers could take, and the seating was limited but clean. The big windows give nice views out to the parking lot and the rolling hills beyond. I ordered a "Rancher" which was one of the hot sandwiches. A bit like a cheesesteak but with ranch dressing and bacon. The sandwich was ready in no time at all and tasted great! Could definitely see myself coming back next time I'm in the area.

Stopped here for lunch with my family. It was a Sunday in Lancaster which meant most of our usuals…read moreweren't open so we decided to try Bobby Bays. We ordered at the counter and sat in a booth. I got the classic burger. Burger was good but I think route 66's are better. We also got a side of loaded fries which were very good. My daughter wanted a turkey sandwich which she also enjoyed. Defintley on the pricier side for a fast casual place but I would go again if it happened to be convenient.

I thought this place was great. Has a fun atmosphere. The service was good. We arrived on a weekday…read more(Friday) during lunchtime. I got a grilled chicken sandwich with coleslaw. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. Very different from any coleslaw I've ever had before. Not saying it wasn't good. Just wasn't my thing. The sandwich was good. My son ordered a huge sandwich (can't remember what it was called) and it has coleslaw and fries inside. I snatched a fry and they were so good! Three people, three sandwiches and under $40. Good deal! Especially when two of those sandwiches could have served other people. They were huge.

Service was great. Started with the hot soft pretzel…read more Outstanding. We both ripped off part before I even got my pics taken. Yum. We ordered the New Yorker sandwich this time (had the Don last time). It was good but not great. The spicy mustard was unevenly applied so was missing on my half and was badly needed. The Don sandwich last week had meat spread throughout and the fries in the sandwich were crunchy and not limp like today's sandwich. We also had naked BBQ wings that were good, but again, not as good as we had last week. The wings were bigger, meatier and better sauced last time. Apparently didn't take pics last weekend for comparison, but it was noticeably better then so would suspect that cooking is uneven. Last week was a 5, today was just a 3, so I averaged.

We like their cheesesteaks more than any other in the Lancaster area…read more We tried many in the county and fortunately many are good but the Grille is still our favorite.

Ordered takeaway from here. My food was ready when I picked up. As soon as you see Martins chips…read moreyou know it's a good place that knows flavor. I ordered the South Street which was a steak hoagie with pepperoni, pizza sauce, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Really good flavor that all went well together. Casual spot to grab something to eat. Great service. I'll be back for sure.

The sandwich was perfectly made with plenty of meat. It tasted great! My plain wife ordered the Ham & Cheese. She couldn't stop raving about the seeded bread. The staff was friendly and efficient.

Easily the best hoagies (and cheesesteaks) you can get outside of Philly. Old Italian or Sharp…read moreItalian. Get the seeded roll. For steaks, I prefer a pizza steak with sharp provolone...or even a sharp provy add long hots and broccoli rabe. I can't go in here and not get 2 full size for today...1 full size for tomorrow. Worth. Every. Penny. The chicken cutlets and meatball subs are ridiculous as well. But remember: seeded, sharp provolone, broccoli rabe if it's a hot sammich.

I paid $30 for arguably the most mid sandwiches I've ever eaten. The best part about my chicken…read morecheesesteak was the bread which is actually pretty delicious. The provolone cheese was also really melty and good. The chicken were cut up, grilled chicken breasts which weren't anything special. The fries were gross. They didn't salt them or season them at all and the potato grade quality was poor. My dog didn't even like them. The second star is for the really nice boy who handed me my food. Not the cashier, the food runner maybe? He was really sweet. Maybe they're good for other things. I'll skip this the next time I'm in town.
