Very sweet and helpful server. Food was delicious. Weren't sure about which beer to get so it was nice that she offered a sip/taste of what we described was our kind of beer. read more

We had a wonderful trip to Lancaster. I made a wish list of the "must see" locations (farm, cow, covered bridge, soft pretzel, horse & buggy, etc). Hubby wanted to visit a bar. I read the reviews for Lancaster Brewing (near a farm, cow, covered bridge, they serve pretzels, horse & buggys are nearby). When I saw that there was a bartender named Boots, I knew we had to visit. Hubby had already read about Lancaster Brewing and we were happy to visit. You can't tour the actual brewery anymore but the manger and bartenders are great about discussing the brewing process and styles. There were some interesting seasonal beers. We could have moved to a table but we enjoyed chatting with Boots. He is easy going and quite knowledgeable about everything on tap. The menu has sandwiches, pizza and pub food. My only wish is that they include fried pickles. The place is fun. The retail items are limited but you can buy a six pack for about $13 that you mix and match yourself. Growlers are also available. The place closes at 9pm, so plan accordingly if going at night. read more

Lancaster Brewing Company stands out as a brewpub that balances tradition and experimentation. If you appreciate a good stout, a bold peanut-butter beer, or just a solid beer-food night out -- it's a reliably great destination. Their stouts are indulgent and well-executed; the Fresh Roasted Peanut Butter Ale is a fun, off-beat twist that's worth a try at least once; and the food (especially the crab dip and spicy wing option with Creepin' Dog Hot Sauce) rounds it all out so the experience doesn't feel like "just beer." If I were you and planning a visit, I'd start with a flight including the Double Chocolate Milk Stout + Fresh Roasted Peanut Butter Ale, grab the crab dip and maybe some wings with Creepin' Dog sauce -- that combo sums up everything great about what Lancaster does right. read more

Many years ago I had an underwhelming experience with Lancaster Brewing, and unfortunately more than 12 years later I'm still kind of underwhelmed. The beer is good, or at least good enough, and I still like their milk stout. Most of their beers are forgettable though. The food leaves much to be desired. My cheesesteak egg rolls were kind of tasteless and when I tasted my husband's burger it seemed kind of gamey and a bit off. The ambiance is fine for what it is and the service is good, but nothing wowed me enough to come back. I think I'm done with Lancaster Brewing when there are so many other more innovative breweries and taprooms around. read more

Food-chicken sandwich was flavorful with crispy sweet potato fries, some were overcooked. Blackened fish sandwich-skin was slimy and lettuce was soft and cooked, not crispy, the whole thing was slippery. French fries tasted like they had been sitting around for hours. Kolsch draft beer-flat The table did not appear to have been cleaned recently and had a chipped surface. The restaurant doors and floor were filthy. I wish I had gone with my gut instinct and walked out. read more

We enjoyed the burger and Blackened Cod sandwich with the sweet potato fries and a good stout to wash it down. But the best part was the service - thank you Demi for treating us so well. Your smile and outstanding attentiveness made our visit and dinner wonderful. read more

This taproom is a conveniently located extension of the Lancaster Brewing Company and their line of unique beers. This location had what I'd call "generic Gastropub" food. The burger was heavy on the charcoal, though it looked Pre-made. The pretzel appetizer was very dense, not a light and fluffy-type pretzel. The dip it came with was delicious and paired well with the fries. On the beer side, we had a few unique treats, including a peanut butter beer. While I won't go home and try to buy a peanut butter beer franchise, I do think it's a fun flavor to try in a flight or to split with a friend. Put simply, this is what you'd expect from a brewery - food that checks the box, with a lengthy beer menu that can help give you a little variety in your life. read more

We arrived after a basketball tournament at 830 pm on a Saturday night. We did note that most local restaurants were open till 10-11 but this place closed at 9pm on a Saturday. When we entered the hostess rudely stated that they close in 30 minutes. I said but you're currently open right? Yes After that the server was great. We ordered quickly and sampled some beers. I understand workers wanna get out on time but when you're in the food service business and ppl arrive 30 minutes prior to close you don't have to make them feel like shit for entering. As for the food the pretzel was great as well as the French dip. The pizza was nothing special kinda doughy on bottom definitely needed a couple more minutes in oven but maybe they rushed cooking it, the burger was good. I think this would have been 4 stars without the rude first impression by the hostess. read more

No nonsense , no complaints. A good last minute meal. The burger was great. Meat was juicy and medium like we asked The pizza was a 7/10. It could have been a more thinner crust. The egg roll was fine. Above average. The pit stickers were also fine. Above average. Gnocchi I thought was a 8/10. Overall a nice place for an inexpensive evening meal with friends. read more

Came into town for the weekend. Our bartender Boots was awesome. Thinking of going downtown to the Plum St location but he made it so fun we need to stay here and hang out with him. Beer was amazing. Great Peanut butter ale!!!! read more

We recently visited the Lancaster Brewing Company. Our girls were seated right away for a cozy team dinner, but the best seat in the house was at the bar with Sean. All 10 bar stools were occupied with exhausted parents needing a drink and Sean surely did not disappoint. Not only was he thoroughly entertaining, but his service was friendly and prompt. His recommendations about the local cuisine were on point! We will definitely return if Sean is behind the bar! read more

I prefer the Plum Street location to this one but it is also good. Also if parking is a real issue for you this location has lots of it. Food is good as well as service. Beer is not my thing but many people I know enjoy their beers. read more

This is the one on Rt 30 behind Applebees. Food was fair. I thought was dirty. In poor maintenance Really disappointing read more

Although the restaurant looks like it needs some updating, the food was good. The portion sizes were large, and the fried chicken dishes were delicious. There were a lot of draft beer options, and we each found one to enjoy. read more

This was our first stop upon arriving in Lancaster, and sorry to say, but we were quite disappointed. We ordered 2 of the Taproom Burgers and they came out quickly but were cold. The bread was dry and flavors just weren't there. The fries were room temperature and not crispy at all. My other half ordered the burger with filet mignon tips, supposedly, which was better because the meat was still piping hot. However, the flavors were also missing ... and the majority of my family left pretty unhappy. read more

Ambiance is nothing to write home about. Kid of dive bar sheik. Service was fine We came at an odd time, 1:45 PMish, and the hostess did not mention to our waitress that we were seated in her area so it took a while for her. But I don't believe it was her fault and she apologized profusely and was great after that. The blackened fish sandwich with chips was very good and I highly recommend it The crispy fried chicken sandwich was not good. It was over cooked and dried out. I had opted for regular fries, but got a mix of only a few regular and mostly sweet potato fries (which I don't care for). My guess is, they didn't want to fry up another batch so I got stuck with what was left. We were in a hurry so we paid for a check as soon as the entrées come, and I didn't have time to send anything back. Anyway, big disappointment. read more

My friend and I met for lunch this past weekend. We had such a great time catching up in this casual spot conveniently located near the outlets. We each loved what we ordered (BBQ Chicken Pizza and Pittsburgh Steak Salad, with a soft pretzel as an appetizer). The beer was great too, though I knew it would be. I'm a LBC beer fan. The restaurant itself was freezing cold. I hope they get it worked out before our next visit. read more

The beer was good. Service was good restaurant was nice. Food however was not great we had wings Asian style they were just not great. The pretzel looked good but was burnt on the bottom so it was not a great experience in that respect but other than that everything was great and I'm sure there are other menu items that may be better but I wouldn't be back for the food that's for sure. read more

We didn't dine here. The beers are awesome!! Love Lancaster beer. 6 of us visited here after being referred by Hilton Tru Motel across the street where we were staying. Such a great experience. We had Sean as our bartender. He was the best! Kept us all laughing. Such a character. He interacted with all the other employees so well. Everyone working there was great!! We had such a great time that we didn't want to leave. But we had another engagement. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. And you can buy the local Lancaster beer right there to take with you. They had a flight of six to sample and prices were great. Great atmosphere. read more

From the moment we walked in the door we were well taken care of with quick seating and excellence, attentive service. Our server was at our table in less than 2 minutes and had our drink orders taken and placed our Yelp free Pretzel order. It arrived paired with the most incredible cheese sauce, and the Philly style braided roll was hot, firm on the outside and soft and delicious in the middle. The portion size was spot on and could have been stretched to 3 people if needed. Topped with fresh diced scallions it was certainly the best way to start our meal. The sandwiches arrived in good order and were equally well presented and loaded with flavor. The Filet Mignon Tip Grinder with Gruyère, sautéed onions, horseradish aioli on a fresh hot toasted roll with house-cut fries was absolutely amazing. Toasted up just right and accompanied by some seriously delicious fresh cut fries. The Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich was piled high with deliciously smoked brisket, shaved and served up with cheddar jack cheese, bbq sauce on a fresh onion roll with hours cut fries. In addition we asked for a side of ranch dressing for the dries, which is highly recommended as it certainly tasted homemade and finished off the fries like icing on a cake. I did try the Lemon Blueberry Shanty and enjoyed the sample, but with being full from the pretzel and then having entrees with at least 2 1/2 of drive time still ahead of us I decided to forgo the beer as well as loading up with any to take home. We made a stop at the restrooms which were quite large, clean and well lit as was the dining area. You can see they are limited in space as beer is stacked up in all extra spaces with labels on the wall to help when unsure of what's what. For the overall size of the operation they crank out an incredible menu. Highly recommend this when in the area, and make sure to mention the free Yelp Pretzel, it's a great way to start your dining experience. read more

In a midst of popular chain restaurants (Texas Roadhouse,Applebees, IHOP, and Red Robin) , you'd think an independent,local establishment would have some trouble in a particularly touristy area; however, LBC has no lack of business and a clear steady stream of regulars. I was able to try two different IPAs on our two visits while in town. The hop hog was my favorite of the two. On our first visit , I enjoyed the Greek shrimp salad while my parents split the bbq pizza. My son had the kids pizza. On our second visit, my son and I split the bbq pork sandwich, my mom had the ribs, and my dad had a beef sandwich. My parents also had the lemon blueberry shandy both nights and really enjoyed it. Service was superb on visit #2, ok on visit #1. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're in the area and skip all those mediocre chains. read more

Stopped here venturing to the Lancaster area. Menu sounded good online, and came here based on all the reviews. Crab dip was good, burger was very basic, and the pulled pork roll was soggy and just average. Basic bar food. Place was a little warm and sticky inside but from the convos from the staff, assumed they were having an issue with the AC- confirmed with the most recent reviews. read more

I was visiting Lancaster and decided to stop by this spot based on their reviews. My fiancé and I were sat right away at the bar, but we weren't given an option to wait for a table. I got a moscow mule which came out super spicy. For dinner I got their signature burger and fries. The fries were the best part of the meal 10/10. The burger was decent. I didn't have a grand experience here, but I'd give it another shot if I was in the area. read more

Didn't expect this place to be crazy busy like it was but as it was just the 2 of us were seated right away but I hear it was an hour wait for others. Food came out promptly , everything was enjoyable especially the black bean burger and those yummy chips. My only little whimper of complaint was the fries were limp and soft, not very appetizing. Great bartender. read more

Visited when I was in town at the Railroad Museum. Menu is very eclectic but decided to give it a try. We were sad that outdoor seating was closed due to limited staff but understood. The service outside of that wasn't impacted. We ordered the pretzel which was free when I checked in. It was stale and OK. The crab dip,however, was amazing. I shared that and a Caesar salad with my husband. We asked for the dressing on the side. It came on it, but there wasn't too much. My sister had the hamburger and said it was great. My son had the cheese pizza with goat cheese. They forgot to add it but my son happily added it afterwards. He also got a side of Kalamata olives. The side was huge and my son and hubby enjoyed it. read more

I had a great time here with my family, my cousins and I have two toddlers and we were treated great by staff. The food was delicious I got the fish and chips! The steak tip sandwich was probably the best at the table. The vibe is chill & the beer is incredible we did the float and everything was really good! The peanut butter beer was my favorite and the lemon blueberry as well! 6 & 4 packs to go are reasonably priced! Men's bathroom also had a changing station which means a lot to me when most places don't have them at all. read more

I had been familiar with (and generally fond of) LBC's beers from various sample packs (and especially like their milk stout), but had never been to the brewpub. When I finally visited this past week, I was blown away. Two us shared samples of beer, each of which was excellent, and two of which stood out: the PB Ale (which really captured the essence of peanut butter, while remaining light) and the Shoo-Fly Pie Porter (which was mind-blowing, sweet and warm and slightly boozy with nice buttery notes at the end). Bottom line: the beer creative, interesting, and generally very good. The food was just as good. As an appetizer we ordered and split the Philly pretzel twist, which had a lovely (bready and salty) flavor on its own and augmented further by the beer cheese (which my gf in particular loved). We also got some pierogies, which were pretty standard as pierogies go (but with a lovely buttery crisp on them). For dinner, we split a meatball sub and a full rack of ribs. The meatball sub was unremarkable, but the ribs were among the best I've had at a beer-focused establishment (and certainly the meatiest). Two of us happily gorged ourselves on the ribs like barbarians as we still had leftovers for breakfast (they kept well). The sauce was excellent and the fries (for both the sub and the ribs) were hot and tasty. read more

You guys, without saying... this place is really good! I'm so lucky that I was sent to KOP to work because it gave me the chance to go to Lancaster to walk around and try some delicious food. My colleague and I went to the shops at Bird-in-Hand and got a little hungry. We found this place that was about to open so we waited. We were the first customers so we got all the attention at first lol, then it started to get a little packed. It has been ages since I had a beer, don't know much about it but whatever I had was delicious and so refreshing. Then I got a grilled salmon burger, and to be honest, I've haven't had such delicious burger as theirs. My goodness, I can still taste it and my mouth waters every time I think about it. I have zero clue what they did to it but I can't describe the taste, all I know is that I tasted heaven that day and it was magical! I'm really crossing my fingers so my job can send me back to KOP and I can take the drive there. Really looking forward to going back! read more

Stopped at the Lancaster Brewing Tap House on Lincoln Hwy yesterday for some food and drinks. We like sitting at the bar so we were very happy that there were stools available. The bar area is very cozy and inviting. Sean was the bartender and he was amazing. Immediately greeted us and quickly brought us our beers. Had the Cajun crab drip which was as good as any in Maryland. The menu has such good options so we were struggling with what else to order. Sean recommended the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak, and boy I am glad he did. It was so delicious! I loved having a bartender that is familiar with the food and can offer suggestions. If you are outlet shopping and get hungry I totally recommend stopping here we were totally happy with our experience read more

Stopped here with a friend for drinks and food. It was my first time in this area. It's located in shopping center next to a closed old motel. Their building is a bit rundown and we were tempted to go elsewhere. We arrived at opening and were immediately seated. We asked for their free pretzel through the Yelp app and a cranberry margarita and apple smash. You could taste the liquor in both and we were pleased. The margarita was tart with the cranberry. The apple smash was very sweet with a good hit of the bourbon at the end. We loved the garnishes with it as well. The pretzel was fresh, soft, and the cheese was great with it. I should have ordered another one to bring home. We shared their butternut squash pirogies. They were fantastic. Made fresh and the bacon bits and fried onions were cooked to perfection. We had their blackened shrimp salad, which was good, but nothing special. I ordered their fish and chips and boy, that was a huge hit. The fish was truly fried up in a thick batter and topped with sea salt. It was a large dish and I could only enjoy a 1/3 of it. It had coleslaw and tarter sauce on the side. The coleslaw wasn't my favorite, but the sauce was great with the fish and chips. I recommend ordering this as a fish to share. They didn't have a dessert menu, but they did have desserts. It was a chocolate bomb or a lemon dessert. We went for the chocolate bomb. It was a chocolate moose cake with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It was good, but I'd recommend ordering another drink. We had a great time. read more

I had been looking forward to visiting the Tap Room for the LBC, but in a word MEH. When you go up to what you think is where you need to check in to get a table and when someone finally acknowledges you... and says ' that's not my job' when you inquire about getting served - we should have walked out... then one d the servers says as an explanation 'oh we're a really small business' (Lady... you have 3 other locations WTF). We were hungry so we stayed... food was perfect pub food...wings, fries, pizza, etc. service is attentive- if a little grumpy. Beer is okay - there are a lot of choices - but IMO - try another Tap Room read more

Stopped in here on a whim while we were in the area. This small brewery blew us away! The fries were banging and the chili was so good. The sauce that came with the fries my boyfriend ended up putting on his sandwich he likes it so much! Our server was sweet and let us take a pretzel to-go. It's quite small inside but it's a cozy feel and I liked it on a chilly day. read more

We are in lancaster for a long weekend. It was my turn to choose a place to eat and I like to try fun local places rather than chains. We went in and were seated immediately. There were two men at the bar and a table of 6 beside us. We started with the cheesesteak egg rolls. They were just ok. The pomadoro dipping sauce tasted great, the egg rolls were a bit dull. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich. It came with coleslaw and chips. I got the margarita pizza. So the pulled pork sandwich was actually cold. Cold cold. Like out of the fridge cold. It didn't taste bad though. The bun was ok but wasn't a pretzel bun. The husband took a bite of coleslaw and choked. I asked what was wrong. He said it's vinegary. I tried it, it was straight vinegar. It may have been ok on the sandwich so that it cut the vinegar. My pizza... the sauce and cheese were great. The crust was just eh. The service was good. They were very nice. The decor was also really cute. The bar area looked nice. I wouldn't go back to be honest. read more

Don't forget to check in with yelp to get free pretzel. It was served warm with cheese dipping. I wanted to order fish and chips but they ran out. FYI I was there around 1:30, so I was surprised it's no longer available. I ordered salad with shrimps. Everything was fresh and shrimps were perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend the beers. You can take some home. They also sell candles in beer cans and T-shirts Service was great. Our waitress was attentive. read more
