Stopped in for dinner while on a business trip. I must have gotten there a little early as it wasn't too busy when I arrived but did fill in while I was there. I sat at the bar. Two women were working behind the bar, took them a little bit to get to me but they were busy making drinks for the dining room area. Ordered the Barbacoa quesadilla and was going to get one of their margaritas but the only flavor they had I didn't like so I got a mixed drink instead. Everything was very tasty and very solid portion sizes! read more

We came back! The chips, queso and fries are great! The hamburgers are just meh. For $19 burger, it needs to be more flavorful. I'll come back and stick with the Mexican entrees! read more

Customer service is top notch. Our waitress checked on us frequently and the owner or manager came by twice to check on our table. First we preferred margaritas, I had the colonial blood orange and he had the spicy, absolutely delicious. For our appetizers we had the house made pickles, dill flavored, and the shrimp ceviche. Both were very good and flavorful. For our entrees he had the pork belly on Mac n cheese and I had the black and blue burger with the seasonal cucumber tomato salad. Both were high quality and cooked very well. My only complaint would be that the spice levels were too high on both. My companion loves spice and the pork belly made his eyes water, so it's spicy. My burger had their house spice and I had asked how hot it was and was told it was mild just flavoring. It was spicy. Again the quality and experience were top notch. If you like a lot of heat and flavor, check this lovely place out. read more

Stayed in the area after a conference in the DC area and drove up to Amish county to check it out. Pulled over downtown to check Yelp and we had parked right across the street. After looking around at other places we decided on this one and man we almost made a huge mistake. We had the Shrimp bisque and chips and salsa to start out and they were both excellent. The wife got the barbacoa tacos and I got the pork belly tacos. We swapped one each and they were both so good. Amazingly good! I gotta be honest, we're from Louisiana and so we eat a LOT of good food. After some disappointing meals in the DC area this was a welcome stop! Highly recommend!! read more

The ambiance is so nice! It has a warm, but industrial look inside. The margaritas are delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Our server, Domenic, was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was SO DELICIOUS! I ordered the Breakfast Burger that had pork belly, cheese, and a friend egg on it *chefs kiss* it was so juicy and flavorful. My friend ordered the nachos with ground beef and the house made corn tortilla chips really upped the flavors. I will be back! read more

Decent spot and food, but passing on the 3.8% card acceptance fee to customers is terrible. We have our card payment fees...should not also pay for the merchants! Figure out how to price your items without screwing patrons. Also remember the benefits of card acceptance, including the fact that people will buy more! or, just take cash and deal with smaller tickets. read more

The house made chips, salsa and queso were wonderful, but be aware. The chips are four times the thickness of regular chips, and can quickly fill you up before your entree arrives. I had the beef tacos and my wife had the chicken quesadillas. Both were very good and we would get them again, but both were a little salty. All in all a nice place to eat in downtown Lancaster. read more

Great service and delicious food! Our server Dominic was very helpful! Will definitely be back soon read more

We made a reservation for Christmas Eve dinner since we were in the area for the holidays. We started the night with drinks at the bar along with chips, salsa and queso. The appetizer had a generous amount of chips and dips. The chips had a little bit of spice on them to jazz up the dish. After moving to our table, our party of three all decided on tacos. My husband got the taco sampler, my mom had the chicken tacos and Blackened Mahi Mahi for me. Everything came out quickly and perfectly cooked. We seriously considered desert but unfortunately decided we didn't want to over do it, so we passed. We heard some folks at the bar talking about how good the gingerbread custard pie was and we were super intrigued. I sort of regret not getting one to go. LOL. Next time for sure. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

We stoped in for a late bite to eat. We had the ceviche and it was great. The bar was packed so it was pretty loud. Overall experience was good. read more

I have been to this establishment a handful of times and I will say that the food is generic and nothing to state ill of, however the service is subpar and the owner or owner's wife has no sense of customer service and is very rude. She has no respect for her customers and discriminates against them. I am the type of person who generally has no complaints and believes we all do our best but I was dealt with severe injustice and discrimination that I could not turn a blind eye on. Our party was sectioned in swivel chairs in which at least one of the party members could not sit on. We respectfully asked the waitress if we could have another option for a table/seating, to which her reply was getting the manager/owner (we didn't ask for a manager and were Just expecting a yes or no answer). We were told by the manager or owner that moving was not an option and I am more than confident in saying that we understood and were ok with the outcome. What happened thereafter I am still baffled by. The respect and humanity in Laura is nonexistent and I am saddened that someone like this owns this establishment. I highly recommend going elsewhere. She is very rude and should consider a profession elsewhere, that doesn't interact with humans. read more

My friend & I decided to make a random road trip to Lancaster. We chose to try Double C after shopping. We arrived at approximately 4:15 (08/17/24). The place just opened so it wasn't crowded but there was a nice amount of people already seated at the bar and a table in the back. My friend & I stood by the hostess stand for at least 5 minutes. I continued to stand there as my friend went to the restroom. I ended up walking out while waiting for my friend. There was a bartender and at least one member on the waitstaff. We were never greeted and my friend also heard the bartender mention the kitchen wasn't opening until 5. read more

First timer - trendy, clean with a more upscale vibe while still feeling casual. The front of the restaurant is open and brightly lit from the sun shining through the floor to ceiling walls. We were seating in the back of the restaurant, which has more intimate feel. Alcohol - the emphasis is on cocktails and spirits, not so much beer. It was recommended that we order the chips and salsa. Assuming the chips are made in-house, if not, then fried to order. The chip to salsa ratio was a bit disappointing. Definitely not enough salsa for the portion of chips. The seasonal rice bowl was hearty (enough for lunch the next day) - filled with mushrooms, spinach, snap peas, and topped with salsa and cheese. I also ordered a side of mac & cheese. It had a grittiness and was lacking the traditional creaminess. Overall, no criticisms. The service was great and the food was satisfying. Personally, I felt some of the menu items were slightly overpriced, even with it being farm to table. read more

Went here for dinner with some friends (party of 6) and the only drawback was the seats at the high top tables. They swung out from under the table which sat really odd. Other than that, my meal was delicious. I had the pork belly bowl with a fried egg on top. I really can't say enough about how tasty the bork belly was, how well the egg was cooked, or how well all of the flavors in the bowl melded together. I definitely recommend this place. Our server was very friendly and checked in on us often. If you're in Lancaster, PA, check it out. read more

Good first experience here on a not so busy Wednesday night. Group of 4 of us seated right away. We all had IPA's and my brother had a bourbon drink. We split the ceviche appetizer which we enjoyed. We had salads, a veggie bowl, chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos. Server was nice and efficient. We were too full for dessert. We liked the look of the place inside. Would definitely stop by again. read more

Was highly recommended by many so was excited to go for my birthday. Drinks were fantastic, I had the spicy mezcal and would highly recommend. Food was ok at best. I will happily go back for cocktails, but will get food elsewhere. Environment was fun and easy going, feel like it could convert to a bar with live music/DJ easily which is a missed opportunity considering such great drinks. On a Friday night, with people still there and still eating dessert; they took mops out and started cleaning which made me feel rushed to leave. read more

We visited here for the first time, and sat at the bar this evening. Leila was the bartender and she was a very nice and attentive bartender and server. We enjoyed (not your average) chips, salsa and queso - they seem to have developed good recipes so they were both very tasty, & the chips were thicker, very crunchy and slightly brown. Yum! My husband got the chicken tacos (2, small but good) and fries (pig fat, yummy shoestrings), and I got the barbacoa bowl (rice & beans base but you can chooses base of mac & cheese too!). Everything was delicious including our drinks! Decor was very modern. Very loud, so if you want a more intimate conversation be sure & make a reservation for the back or in a booth, somewhere not in front center. We will be back!:) read more

My girlfriend and I sat at the bar to get some drinks. She had the Mule and I decided with one of their lagers on tap. Also got their chips and salsa to snack on. Definitely recommend those! The chips are made their with some kind of tasty seasoning and the salsa has great flavor. Great neighbor right down the road from central town read more

Meh. This place didn't impress. I definitely appreciate the concept of farm to table, but think the prices here are disproportionate to the portion sizes and overall restaurant feel, which is pretty casual. For instance, to add shrimp to a house salad is an additional $22; a beef patty runs you $20. I ordered the seasonal veggie quesadillas and a side of rice & beans. Note that everything is a la carte (very different from your usual Mexican.) The quesadilla was SWIMMING in a pool of orange grease. Now I know quesadillas give off some grease due to the cheese, but this was another level. I should've snapped a picture. Both my dining companions ordered bowls. These are a unique menu option you can customize. My husband opted for the mac-n-cheese topped with brisket. He liked it overall, but it was on the small side. Overall, a so-so experience. We wouldn't return or recommend. We'll stick to the more traditional Mexican cantinas with lot's of colorful decor and a sombrero or two. ;) read more

This is one of my absolute favorite indoor spots downtown. Under the unprepared of John J Jeffrey's, you know your getting a class act! The Chef and his Wife (who basically are the face of the establishment and run it) are the most hospitable people I've come across! They always great me with open arms and a big smile! But let's move onto the food: EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED FROM TEX MEX!!! The meat is so tender and marinated so well! They have daily fish used for their ceviche. The pulled pork quesadilla is incredible! The bowl you have to try with the Mac and cheese base. If you want a good taste of everything I highly recommend the taco sampler. And everyone raves over the "build your own burger"! Moving on to Drinks: You will love the Mezcal Margarita (note: mezcal has a smoky flavor) and it comes with Worm Salk on the rim which is DELISH! If that's not your cup of tea they have a Spicy Margarita (not so spicy, just right) and a regular Margarita. I suggest you get the jar, it's a little cheaper and if there's two of you dining, you will each get about 1.5 drinks. Second OAXACA OLD FASHIONS are my absolute FAV! No one ever makes them right around here and the bartenders have yiu covered! All in all I go here often because it's pretty epic and out of towne love it! read more

Service was great 5/5 . Timely and friendly! Food 4/5. Everything was good, but nothing that really stood out. The chips and salsa 5/5 (get the cheese too!) was delicious. The tortilla chips were probably my favorite part of the whole night. They were clearly homemade, thick, crunchy, and seasoned well! The angus burger 4/5. All topping except for lettuce are extra. Tres leches cake 4/5. Yummy flavor but a little dense and dry for my taste. Decor is upscale casual and very nice. Would recommend to go at least once! read more

Our meal was delicious and the service was very pleasant. The experience was marred by the manager asking us to leave because the next reservation had arrived early. Frankly, not my problem. Our total check was over $300, and we were finishing our meal, not lingering over coffee. It would seem that your reservation does not allow adequate to enjoy dinner. read more

Service/decor: love the decor of this place. Beautifully done and in a good location. The service really dropped the ball here. The service was very friendly but terribly slow. The food arrived quick enough so it wasn't a kitchen issue but our server was never around. We finished a round of drinks and were never asked if we wanted more. Food: the food was good. Everything we had was tasty. Nothing blew us away but it all was cooked well with solid flavor. I would deff recommend the chips and salsa and add the cheese sauce. The chips were probably the best part of the meal and you could tell they were homemade read more

I should start by saying that I have tried the Double C on at least three different occasions and this place is the best. Its rustic vibe and delicious menu goes well together! Each time that I have been here, the staff works so well together and delivers such great service. As though that's not enough, the food is SO good and I have not had a single bad menu item. My favorite dish is the Spicy ground beef on their homemade Mac and Cheese. It is so darn good and such a great portion. I highly recommend if you are coming to Lancaster for an overnight stay, you should make every effort to try Double C, you will truly enjoy it. read more

Most of the food options are above average. Was disappointed with the chorizo bowl. Great drinks as well!

Party of five including 3 with dietary restrictions; EVERYTHING was amazing! Fresh, unique, clean eating! The chips & salsa are a must - homemade chips oh so good. Wish we ordered the rock shrimp ceviche too. Sweet Potato fries - yum! I had shrimp tacos which were delish. Husband had the burger which I tried & was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Walked back later for a cocktail. Great service all around, clean place! If there was one downfall it would be the uncomfortable seats @ the high top tables. Lots of other seating options though. read more

I went here expecting good things based off the reviews. Great selection on drinks, some fancy, some pretty affordable but still interesting. I was super stoked about the food. I chose the pork belly love tacos, 2 for 12 dollars. The pork belly taco just melted in your mouth. It had great seasoning, crispy on the outside, meaty on the inside. The salsa and the green sauce was really good and the cheese and the red cabbage complemented the flavor and texture to the pork. I'd say... best tacos I've had. read more

Came here one night with a small group of people. We sat at a high top and we greeted rather quickly by a friendly server. I was impressed by the tequila selection and the variety of specialty cocktails. I ordered 2 different mezcal cocktails. I definitely recommend the mezcal mule! Everything on the menu sounded delicious but I settled for the barbacoa beef tacos. They came out quickly and were extremely flavorful! I noticed that the restaurant used local farmers which I absolutely love. I will definitely be back soon !! read more

We love John j. Jeffries. This place is s brought to you by the same food lovers. A bit more casual. A bit more tacos. A bit more burgers. But the same amazing food. We had the chips and salsa, bison burger and pulled pork sandwich. What a difference a well cooked, high end piece of meat makes! So much flavor omg I want it again! The tacos seemed on the pricey side ($25 for three) but I have no doubt when I come back I'll be amazed again! Service was impeccable! read more
