We stopped at Lancaster Brewing for lunch on our way home from a bike ride, and we're so glad we did! We sat out back on the patio, which was a really nice spot to enjoy our meal. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and my husband had the ribs. I enjoyed a flight of their beers, while my husband had a beer. Everything was delicious, and the service was great--friendly, fast, and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend stopping at Lancaster Brewing if you're in the area. It was the perfect stop after a bike ride! read more

For the second time ever, I visited a brewery after already knowing about its beers. (The first being Flying Fish, R.I.P.) But this place is much more than beer, and I can't recommend it enough. First, there is a bar completely separate from the eating area, so you can choose what experience you want. Second, I've known that all their beers are top notch, which is why I wanted to come here. I'm not an IPA guy, but the black IPA is some top notch stuff that anyone can appreciate. Not super hoppy, really well balanced. Blonde stout is another superb creation, Lancaster gets some depth into it that many other breweries can't manage. Third, if you want food, they learned from the Food Network and limited their menu to just a few choices, all excellently prepared. I ordered the Angry Mac with gator meat. It had excellent flavor, they made it spicier like I asked, and unlike most places they provided plenty of meat. Great quantity and great taste that I wasn't expecting. I tasted my friend's polenta and it was perfectly balanced with some cheese, not too salty. I could eat that for days. Finally, Eva, our waitress? Wonderful. My friend and I were weighing dessert, we wanted a brownie but not the whole hot fudge brownie sundae. Eva made it work and even split it between heated and cold. What a great server. Props to Eva! To get this quality of food, this quality of beer, this quality of service, and this quality of ambiance all in one? No wonder my friend was willing to go two days in a row. I need a Lancaster Brewing in my town. read more

Lancaster Brewing Company - Gator Mac - New American Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Lancaster Brewing Company makes absolutely solid beer. The Shoo-Fly Pie Porter is a quintessential Thanksgiving beer in my humble opinion. I was at their original location many years ago and loved my experience there, so when I saw they have a second location in Harrisburg while on a weekend trip to Hershey/Harrisburg in November, I jumped at the chance to have dinner and a beer there. The Harrisburg location is not half as nice as the original location, as it's in a fairly nondescript building on the side of a major highway. But we nevertheless had a great time there. Our server was Arley who was superb. My girlfriend and I both got flights. Unlike most other breweries I've been to that serve 4 beers to a flight and might charge extra for high ABV beers, Lancaster Brewing Co. serves 6 to a flight and only charges $13. That's a great deal in my experience. My girlfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the lamb burger. Both came out quickly and were top notch. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for their beers at the liquor store. read more

It smells like urine inside. I asked the waitress about it but she wasn't sure. Her best guess was it was from the brewing. She probably was right but really wasn't a fan of it. I stayed because I was starving and not from the area so I didn't want to search for another place to it and wait even longer for food. The firecracker shrimp was really good. I loved the flavors and texture. It was cooked really well. I didn't care for the local sausage. The texture was chalky/mealy and dry. The spätzle it came with tasted ok but not really like spätzle, especially the texture. I loved the mustard it came with though because it had a nice beer flavor to it. The root beer chicken was ok. It tasted like store bought bbq sauce with root beer added to it which was fine. I forgot to take a picture of the kids meal pizza. It was a nice, personal pizza size with a side, drink and ice cream. It was good! The waitress was so nice and attentive. I just wish the sausage was better and it didn't smell like pee. read more

Great brewery & restaurant! Went twice while visiting Hershey, PA. Bartenders were great on "Wing Wednesday" (as were the wings & beers)! Had our family of 12 (six (6) kids) together on Thursday...Arley was our server. Arley handled our table wonderfully, reloading their great craft beers, beverages & food. Staff went out of their way to help celebrate our two (2) year old & five (5) year old grandchildren celebrate their birthdays! read more

Looking for dinner after we arrived in Harrisburg, Lancaster Brewing Company had a menu I believed we could all eat from. Service was quick. We started with the Philly Soft Pretzel. It was great. The beer cheese is a great touch. We had the Thick Cut Pepperoni pizza, Tavern French Dip sandwich & a hot honey grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was just ok but the French Dip & the pepperoni pizza were very good. Great meal. Great service. Cute place. read more

Lancaster Brewing Company - TAVERN FRENCH DIP - New American Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

My son (over 21) and I love the Lancaster Brewing Baked Pumpkin Ale. It's our favorite pumpkin beer. So when we ended up in a hotel near the restaurant we knew we needed to try this place. We first visited May 15 years ago but we don't remember a thing about it. We went on a Sunday evening for dinner. We were quickly seated and treated. I saw online their Octoberfest menu and knew what I wanted, but was bummed to hear that we missed the menu, as it ended the week before. First thing we ordered were the Baked Pumpkin Ale. For an app we ordered the braided soft pretzel. My daughter likes beer cheese but we were unsure if their beer cheese mustard fondue, as she doesn't like mustard. The server assured us it doesn't have a mustard tases and even got us a tiny sample to make sure we liked it before finalizing the app order. That was nice of her. My daughter ordered chickens and fries, I had the PB &J burger. My son had the French dip and sweet potato fries. My wife got ribs and mashed potatoes. I do like peanut butter bacon burgers (rarely order them, but do like them). This one made me wonder when I ordered it because it also had grape jelly on it, which was something I've never had with a typical peanut butter burger. It was actually pretty good. I did occasionally dip it in a little ketchup. The fries with the burger were good. Now the pretzel was soft and great and the cheese was decent. My daughter said he chicken fingers were okay and felt as though her fries had no seasoning on them. My wife liked her ribs. My son seemed to like his French dip and the sweet potato fries came with an aioli that he liked. I'm taking points off for the off brand ketchup that had an odd taste. Also points off for the beer price. Nowhere on the menu do they show the price of beer which is a pet peeve. We picked up a six pack of the baked pumpkin ale to take home and found that we paid nearly triple for the drafts than the take away. But the food was decent and the service was good. read more

It's great to have Lancaster Brewing Company right here in Harrisburg! We go about once a month at least and every visit has been a delight. The food never disappoints, and we always make sure to save room for dessert. The beer lineup is impressive too. My personal favorite is the Milk Stout--a smooth, rich, Guinness-like dark beer that pairs perfectly with hearty dishes like the French Dip sandwich. Between the welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and fantastic brews, Lancaster Brewing Company has quickly become one of our go-to spots in the city. read more

We came in from out of town and had high hopes for this place since it had good reviews but as soon as we walked in, should have walked out. It's grungy and it smells like a wet mop. We ordered the honey rub wings and they were covered in seasoning so it was not edible. Our server was kind to take them back and bring us regular wings without sauce but then we realized it was the same wings, they had just washed off the seasoning. We also had the wagyu burger and it was bland. read more

Our server was so nice and helpful with suggestions our first visit! The angry mac and cheese was soooooo good! As well as the firecracker shrimp appetizer! The restaurant has a history of the brewing company across the restaurant walls and was really cool to look at before we left. read more

Steve and I dove into Lancaster Brewing Company in the recent past and I was glad to get this brewery off of my "to try" list finally. We had the Double Chicolate Milk Stout which was fine beer to have. We both enjoyed it as we often do with milk stouts. Flavors to be on the lookout for while you take a sip of this stout are Chocolate, Milk and sweetness. It's creamy and smooth in body which always gives us a nice mouthfeel when we enjoyed this Milk Stout as typically is the beer experience for us with this beer type. read more

Lancaster Brewing Company - The Double Chicolate Milk Stout from Lancaster Brewing Company! - New American Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

On a work travel trip and our supplier opted for this joint. 13 beers on tap and a handful more in the can was sufficient. Opted for the ribs... perfectly tender and chose the honey chili. The sauce was not a hit, and was just honey while I was expecting a sweet heat..did not deliver. The fries were limp and greasy, but once we asked for replacements they came out great. Ambiance is ye old sports pub, service was forgetful, and prices were in line with the area. I might come back, but will sit at the bar to try a wider assortment of beers. Follow me on untapped for my beer reviews. read more

Lancaster Brewing Company - One selection of many. Average hazy. - New American Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Excellent service, that in and of itself was 5 stars, just unfortunately, food wasn't great. Price was meh, a bit high, but not terribly. Ambiance was like Buffalo Wild Wings or Chilis, just standard bar-restaurant feel. DRINK: Started off with their beef sampler. Nothing was great, said my husband. Just a lot of artificial flavoring, if you're into that. It was still fun to try, you prob. won't find a REALLY good one. FOOD: Their crispy gator was pretty good, crispy battered gator, with a side of slightly spicy tartar sauce. Their kids menu was not kid size at all, it was huge, so for $9 per kids meal was very worth it. My child had the fish n chips and he enjoyed it, while my other one had the crispy chicken fingers and fries, very nice and crispy. My Crisly Salmon had so much potential, but missed the mark. It was a bit undercooked, and the salmon itself had no salt! No flavor, nothing. However, the crispy skin was really good, just wish there was more flavor, or AT LEAST SALT. The meatloaf was really good, so said my husband. I had a small taste and I agree, very flavorful, moist, a worth it dish. DESSERT: The apple pie for two was pretty good, not the best, but a satisfying end to our dinner. Nothing else makes me wanna come back to try again, but it was a good place to try once. read more

This was a great place by Hershey Park for large parties. The service was efficient! The floors were indeed sticky! The food menu was extensive. We shared wings, pizzas, burgers, Mac and cheese, fish and chips and pierogis. I would recommend skipping the fish and chips bc the fish was a little burnt. I highly recommend getting the flight of 6 beers for 13 dollars. I liked all my choices. The stouts, strawberry wheat, peanut butter ale and pumpkin ale were all so well done. I'll be looking for brews from Lancaster brewery in the grocery stores from now on. read more

I have been to this restaurant for both dine in and takeout during weekend sports tournaments nearby. I really like the wide selection of food and drink, and would say you cannot really go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorite is the fish and chips ; though portion is on the smaller side it's super fresh and tasty. The fish has a "melts in your mouth" feeling. Burgers are solid too and generously sized. Too many good beers to name but the Pumpkin Brew is a unique one that's way better than competitors' versions. Takeout is incredibly fast and friendly too, which is good as reservations can sometimes times be tough. A definite go to on this side of Harrisburg where there are fewer options than on the West Shore... read more

Absolutely one of the greatest breweries we ever been! Let's start with food - the best you will ever have ! We ordered Gator bites, Angry Mac&Cheese with gator and fish and chips - absolutely finger licking. Beer - got two flights of 6 - wow ! ( flight of 6- $13) . Clean , quiet and pleasant all around . Plenty of parking . Now the best part.... SERVICE! From the very first "Hello" to the last " Hope we will see you soon " - absolutely best one we ever experienced! Arley - ( as he said :" like Harley , just without the H " ) best server ever ! He is matching the place , was super fun to interact with and delivers ton of great facts about beer and food , told us what was in a menu since they opens the doors , I told him to make picks in both of my flights and o boy! So 3 words to describe this place would be : welcoming, delicious and comforting . Absolutely, without a doubt- if you in 45 min radius - come and visit , the place is truly great ! read more

Great food and service a little on the expensive side but the food makes up for it, staff is well trained and very helpful and friendly

My overall experience with LBC was good service, decent food, and a loud dining room with sticky floors. My party ordered a French dip, a lamb burger, a black bean burger, and a crock of wild boar chili. All the food was fine--nothing remarkably good or remarkably bad. The lamb burger was over cooked, but the French fries were good, the sandwich buns were tasty, and the chili was well-seasoned. One thing we all commented on was how sticky the floors were; our shoes stuck to the ground as we talked to our table. Overall, this is a solid option if you're looking for tavern food and locally made beer. read more

Four of us visited here on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately. Our server came over after a few minutes and took our drink order. My friend ordered some tropical beer, which was FREAKING amazing! They make it themselves and you can only get it in a growler. If you like sweet drinks (and aren't necessarily a beer person), this is for you! To start, we ordered the spicy corn ribs (our first time trying - we weren't that impressed), Rueben egg rolls (delicious!!), whipped feta dip (this was my fave) and chips and salsa (the chips were dusted with a really good spice - a little caliente!). We all enjoyed our entrees but the meatloaf got RAVE reviews, I had a burger and it was done perfectly, and last but not least the Pork Crunch burger. We all really enjoyed the food and had no room for dessert! Our server was busy but amazing. She kept the drinks coming and food on time. Great visit! read more

Very good! We had dinner delivered (turns out they use Uber) to a hotel on a Sunday, and it was on time. Delivery driver was friendly and dressed nicely too. I ordered their black bean burger (but added tomato) and fries. The burger was very good - Id bet house-made , got the tomato, but got chips instead of fries. My friend ordered pulled pork and fries. Not sure if the restaurant or the driver was supposed to pack flatware and napkins, but there were none of those in our bag. In a perfect world the food would've been hot, but we understand that delivery is going to lose a little of that heat. The food was warm enough. Most importantly the food was very good! I'd happily order from LCC again - even better I'd like to visit. As a vegetarian I appreciate the effort and creativity that went into making this black bean burger - too many restaurants try to pass off a frozen mass-made version, which of course, is a nonnegotiable. LLC's was delicious in its shiny toasted bun! The pulled pork was very good too, not too spicy, and the fries were crispy. The slaw tasted fresh. read more

A larger conference came to town this weekend and we needed a place to eat within a mile of the hotel. Some of the usual suspects were there. Lady Matilda, obv, Lord Eric and his Lady Beek, Mickey the Click and Lady Silverwolf, The Fairie Librarian, Sir Brian and Baroness Cz of the Upright Shenanigans, Key and Wrynn of Candido, and about eight other sinister and hangry thorgs looking to feed on a Saturday night on Eisenhower Boulevard. All of us were having a delightful weekend bragging about our rare finds and the peculiar side effects of the glowing orbs we received from the Arch Mage of Kaminar (he who is called "Doug") If you have been to this weird side street branching from the Interstate link to the airport, you know there are several culinary options to choose from, most of them terrible. You have a choice of gas station food, Holy Chicken, McDysentery, and similar places. LBC is a charming place right up the road from the Sheraton where the strange were meeting to exchange more strange. It is clean, uncluttered, and welcoming on both the restaurant and bar side. We had no difficulty reserving a long table for our party and, despite the chaos our tribe often brings, the singer server was on point the entire time with quick refills and check-ins as we moved through courses. Excellent service all 'round, especially with an electronic pad to keep our checks separate and orders straight. The menu is tight, offering interesting twists on a few common but popular pub offerings, integrating their local beer menu into some of the dishes. Everything looked great heading to the tables around us so we shared appetizers and marveled at each others' entrees as they arrived promptly. For as many people as we had and as many different orders we placed, there certainly was not a long wait for our meals. They all arrived within moments of each other. Again, just one server for our entire table. Amazing hustle made to look effortless. The portions were hearty and each dish tasted home cooked, not assembled. Lady Matilda's fish and chips came home with us because the portion was so generous. The Gator Bites did not survive more than a few minutes on our end of the table. Those who drank the beer enjoyed it. The Peanut Butter English Style Ale was a lighter color than expected but had a robust, lingering PB flavor on the tongue that I quite enjoyed. I took home a few cans from the convenient fridge by the exit. A quick head count after dinner revealed that everyone enjoyed the food, drinks, and environment. We will be back. read more

We stopped in for a few drinks and food based on all of the fantastic recommendations and we weren't led astray. The place had a really nice atmosphere and was laid-back which is exactly what we were looking for after a long trip.The food was just as amazing as the brews and the service was top notch as well. We started with the pretzel and beer cheese which was a hit with everyone. I opted to order a couple of appetizers as my meal and they were definitely enough to fill me up. The pot stickers were crunchy on the outside, without being overdone on the inside. The Reuben eggrolls were outstanding, and had more corned beef than many Reuben sandwiches I've had in the past. Two of our party ordered wings and they were impressed with the wings themselves as well as the sauces. The 12 hour pulled pork was tasty, but needed some extra barbecue sauce because the sandwich itself was a little dry. Our waitress, Meagan, was very attentive and helpful with selections. The other servers were also available if we needed anything. This was a fantastic place and the opportunity to pick up some cans to bring home was an added bonus. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

There were only two of us so we didn't sample a whole lot on the beer or food menu. I got a nitro stout that was so cold it tasted watery. Stout is not supposed to be nearly that cold and any brew pub should know that or they shouldn't exist. It may have been that the kegs were being kept in an unheated room and it's been in the teens overnight lately. But if you can't pour me a good stout, I'm not coming back. The short rib sliders just seemed to be left over pieces of short ribs slapped on a Hawaiian roll with a pickle. Completely awful. The onion soup was overly salted, but generally kind of ok. The grilled cheese special had potential but was a little bit dry. So I'm not saying the place is terrible, but I'm not going to give it a second chance. read more
