The food came out in a reasonable manner but our server couldn't have been any slower. 10-15 minutes before she came to take our order. Forgot to bring a drink, then spilled the drink. When we were done eating we sat there for a good 15-20 minutes until we grabbed another waitress to get our bill and to go while our server stood chatting with other guests the majority of the time we were there. Really a shame because the food was good. Plenty of allergy friendly options. Burger was cooked well and flavorful. Bacon could have been a little more crisp but not bad. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well but the service really brought it down

First thing I noticed was no minors…read moreallowed so that scores some points as I prefer not being around a sceaming child while eating. But where to start? Was carded immediately even though I am 39 and wasn't going to order alcohol. Instead of handing me my ID back, the bartender threw it back at me. Also the bartender didn't seem very friendly. Combined with it being a small space and everyone being loud with loud music blaring, the place started losing points. For the food, I ordered the boneless wings and an order of fries. The fries were actually ok, but I don't remember ordering meatballs as that was what my wings looked like. They were still chicken but it didn't feel right. Add in that getting a can of Coke costs $2 every time you get one instead of free refills. I understand but $2? The food at least is cheap. I get that its a bar but bars are supposed to feel inviting, but all I felt was uncomfortable most of the time. Add in that some of the other patrons were rowdy and its a place I don't think I'll be bringing my boyfriend to or will be coming back to. At least I tried it.

The range of available beers will suit everyone in your group. I am a local. This is my regular, go to spot and I've been to every craft brewer in Northern Lancaster and Southern Berks Counties.

If you remember the former brewery, which shall remain nameless, forget it. Rural City will blow it away. Drop in and say hello to Ben and James (the owners). This might easily become your go to spot.

You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though!

So, I asked my friend who I meet up with to try the place. Little did I know, the place has 2 restaurants in it along with a bar. I decided to do the AYCE special while my friend got a Poke Bowl from Tsunami the sushi place there. The place was the same as Wild Wings as it's one of the restaurants in there. Servers were pretty nice and the guy at the bar was cool enough to throw the Flyers game onto a TV we were facing. The place is really nice, has a lot of seating and the friendly staff made it worth it. I am going to try to get here again to do the AYCE special. The only complaint I really had was the wings were really small though they were crispy, I'm not sure who the supplier is, but maybe improve the wings a little. Other than that, I recommend this place.

I'm so torn in the writing of this review, because I love or loved the Olde Lincoln House (OLH)…read morerestaurant, but this particular meal on Valentine's Day, was sad, disappointing and unforgivable. Even though I made a reservation, the parking (both lots), completely full and in semi-empty spaces, held heaps of snow. We partially parked on the side, of a heaping pile and my husband had to scoot his butt, past the steering wheel, to get out of the car. Why am I harping on the car parking situation? Because, if this restaurant choose to stick to those who had reservations, only; I feel there would have been ample parking available. I would have preferred to sit downstairs, dimmed lighting, wooden beams and overall, cozier feel. Yeah, I should have spoken up as to where I would have preferred to sit, but now I'm feeling slighted, by the lack of courtesy shown towards someone, who had the foresight to make a reservation in advance. Upstairs we went - bright lights, white table cloths, nothing cozy or hinting of Valentine's Day. That's okay, I'm thinking; the food will be good. A crock of onion soup, as a starter - perfect, actually, not too salty, caramelized onions, bubbly broiled cheese, savory onion broth, no complaints here. Medium-well prime rib, served raw, with a butter knife, no accompanied horseradish and over-cooked potato slices, undercooked zucchini. I sent it back to the kitchen. The same steak came back to me (not a new one), thirty minutes later, with the proper steak knife and horseradish. My husband's entree of five smallish scallops - decorated by halved, charred brussel sprouts on either side, looked more like an appetizer. This meal burned a huge, unimpressive hole in our wallet.

Everything was really good with this visit, EXCEPT we could not find the handicapped entrance. The…read moremain entrance next to the parking lot in the back has two sets of stairs. It turns out the front of the restaurant has no steps from the side walk, but the front door is kept locked. Of course I believe the law requires doors to be unlocked when patrons are on site, but this door was only unlocked for us to leave by. Just ridiculous! Now the Lincoln House has been known as a very nice restaurant for many years, probably at least 50. There are several dining rooms inside, a large separate bar area and indoor porch seating. It is modestly decorated with 19th century prints. The building itself is old and it retains character while having updated decor, tablecloths and glassware. It is upscale but casual dress is ok. One of us absolutely loves the cheesy tomato soup, a regular offering. The tea was nicely brewed. The food was fresh and tasty. Our server AJ was pleasant and attentive. Total price for 2 soups, 2 teas, and a sandwich and large salad was $50. Ample parking, ample space inside. They just have to do something about that handicapped entrance issue.
