HOW did I not know this place existed?!…read more I went to Franklin Street Social with a few friends on a random Wednesday evening a few weeks ago, and I am not exaggerating when I say my mind was BLOWN the second I walked in. Let me set the scene: 13 restaurants. FULL commercial kitchens. One central bar. A historic factory turned into a warm, vibey, eclectic gathering space. And yes...an actual slide for adults that delivers pure, unfiltered joy. We arrived just before closing and had no issues with parking -- plenty of spaces right outside and well-lit, which is always appreciated. But the second we walked in? Game over. This place is STUNNING. Think warm string lights, wood accents, quirky design details, and little surprises everywhere you look. There's even a book vending machine. Like...what?! And then comes the real challenge: choosing what to eat. With 13 options, this was honestly the hardest part of the night. I strongly considered just committing to chaos and getting one item from every vendor, but maturity (barely) prevailed. For my first visit, I went with a tempura shrimp bowl from one vendor and grabbed a kiwi strawberry drink from another so I could at least pretend I sampled the variety. My adventure buddies did the same -- everyone ordered from different spots and we met in the middle at a shared table. That's one of the best parts of this place. No negotiating menus, no compromising -- everyone gets exactly what they want and you still get to share the experience together. The food? Delicious. No notes. The vibe? Immaculate. And yes... I went down the slide. Obviously. And you should too. Do not skip it. Pro tip: have someone waiting at the bottom to capture the moment because the smile you'll have coming down that thing is 100% genuine joy! Also -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- check out the bathrooms. I know, I know...weird Yelp detail. But trust me. Each one is uniquely themed, and the one I ended up in had animals wearing wild outfits. It was chaotic, hilarious, and somehow completely on brand for the space. Franklin Street Social isn't just a place to eat. It's a place to hang out. To explore. To people-watch. To linger. I could have easily spent hours there just soaking it all in. If you haven't been yet, make it a destination. Seriously! I'll absolutely be back -- probably with a bigger appetite and slightly less self-control next time.

Housed in a restored historic furniture factory, Franklin Street Social is easily one of the best…read moreadditions to Red Lion. Co-founded by Jordan Ilyes and Chef Ethan Greer, this multi-vendor food hall features a diverse collection of independent kitchens, a central bar, and plenty of space across two levels. The setup is ideal for groups or families because everyone can grab food from different vendors and eat together at the open hall seating. Vendor & Bar Highlights: The Central Bar & Local Craft Beer: The bar at the center of the hall serves a well-curated drink menu with craft cocktails, wine, and local draft beers, including selections from neighboring Black Cap Brewing Company. Layali El Sham: Authentic Levantine & Syrian street food. The chicken shawarma wrap, falafel platters, and silky hummus bowls (especially the muhammara blend) are standouts. Franchesca's Pizza: Serving solid New York-style, hand-tossed pies by the slice or whole. The Hot Boy (pepperoni, jalapeños, hot honey, and chili crisp) and classic vodka pies are favorites. Greer's Burger Garage: Excellent smashed-style burgers served on soft Martin's potato rolls. The Garage Fries--a mix of waffle fries, tater tots, and curly fries--are a must. Taqueria El Camino: Highly recommended for their rich birria tacos served with warm consommé for dipping. Thai Street: Authentic Thai street food, with the Khao Soi (curry noodle soup) being a clear standout. Hefty Lefty's: Generous hoagies and shaved ribeye cheesesteaks on fresh rolls alongside hand-cut curly fries. Lighthouse 153: Coastal New England-style eats, including buttery lobster rolls and jumbo lump crab cakes. Hunnie's Country Chicken & Slow and Low BBQ: Hearty comfort food like crispy fried chicken baskets and custom BBQ bowls. Between the quality food options, local draft beer selection, and fun touches like the adult slide and two-story kids' play space, it is a well-designed, welcome spot for Red Lion.

Several waitresses in that room looked at me several times, but just purposely ignored me and never came to get my order - never even acknowledged my existence. I sat there by myself for 15 minutes completely ignored, intentionally. Then I decided to get up and walk out. There were around 5 employees and wait staff just screwing around in the entryway - no one doing their jobs. Very rare I have to actually walk out due to no service.

One man got a calzone about the same size as a typical stromboli; delicious & big enough for 2. Another, a typical cheese steak sub, but loaded with beef and on a large homebaked roll that didn't get soggy and collapse from the various juices. Third man got the hamburger sub on the same perfect roll. Needless to say all of us enjoyed our meal. Finally the staff was pleasant and a special-needs man delivered food and bussed our dishes (a trait I particularly admire in an establishment}. We'll be back!

Fried chicken, after waiting 30 min. They served nasty, dry chicken. My Salisbury steak was a pitiful, flat child's burger cover with what looked like Hot Fudge Sunday Sauce, it was gravy as black as Pelosi's heart, bitter and thick as paste. Onion Rings burned to a crisp beyond recognition, and a small scoop of nasty mashed potatoes with that same black gravy. No check on drink refills and a preoccupied waitress who certainly was not overworked. Avoid this place like the plague. In a word "Nasty".

We opted for a Fried Whiting dinner and a Fried Perch dinner (son has been in his fish era). Went with Baked Mac and Cheese (x2), Beans and Rice, and Cole Slaw. The wait was reasonable and the place affords a comfortable space to sit and converse or browse Yelp. There was a steady flow of walk in traffic, placing orders and picking up. Several Dashers hurried in and were handled politely and in a timely manner. The minimal staff worked well moving orders from idea to delivery. Our meals were delivered hot from the kitchen and every bit as expected. Portion sizes were large. Food was fresh and flavorful. Hot food was hot, and cold food was served cold. This is one of my pet peeves so I took notice. We didn't enjoy any drinks with our meal but they do offer fountain drinks, Philly Ice? and maybe some lemonades. To wrap it up....Don't sleep on Pecan Tree Cafe. They have obviously been doing it for a while and have a good handle on delivering a quality food product. Service was a plus, front and back of the house staff were friendly and attentive. Be looking for them at this year's York State Fair where they will be taking their food to the fair, and soon coming to those of us on the east side of York. They will be a welcome addition to both!! Can't wait to go back and try some of the BBQ Beef Shirt Ribs!

Service: The young lady at the front was nice to us but we did have to wait around while she argued…read morewith a customer who was told the mango water ice was "normal" for her to take a bite and realize it was spicy. The customer requested for it to be exchanged for even just one scoop (she ordered a few scoops) so she could enjoy it w her child which was denied and she was made to seem like she was in the wrong. I think this was a great opportunity to just admit the mistake and exchange the customers ice cream for one she could actually enjoy and learn for future reference to clarify it's "spicy mango" ice. Additionally, the owner was called on speaker and he immediately spoke extremely rudely about the customer which made them more irate. This went on for about 10mins about 2 feet away from me while I was waiting to be attended. Early on, I offered to just pay for a new one and to please just give the lady a new water ice, the customer accepted but I was ignored by the employee and the argument continued. Very uncomfortable situation. Food: Got the shrimp cheesesteak, potato salad, and collard greens. I went in with high expectations, the food was good but not great. We heard of this place via social media so we were super excited to try something new. Between the service provided and the food not being mind blowing, I don't think I will be returning.
