Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

This was my 2nd time coming to Mad Chef!…read more The first time I came here was about 2 years ago (before doing yelp reviews). I was not very impressed. This time around I cannot complain! Their specials are all revolving around the Masters which was unique! We tried the Pimento, Fried Green Tomato, Chicken Sandwich (The Pimento Birdie). This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!

This is a favorite spot of ours. We have come a few times, always at lunch and love it! The staff…read moreis always very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We are always amazed at the consistent level of great customer service we receive here. The vibe is a definitely a neighborhood bar feel. We also have no complaints about the food, everything we've tried has been delicious!

We were in the area for a specialist appointment for my granddaughter and decided to check Yelp for…read morea nearby lunch spot. We came across blue-collar restaurant, but when we pulled in, I was surprised to see it was located inside a golf country club. I almost turned around, but my daughter encouraged us to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant was beautiful inside, with a peaceful view overlooking the golf course that made for a really relaxing lunch. The food was excellent. I ordered the salmon with vegetable risotto special, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the service. My daughter is nursing, and my granddaughter has soy and dairy allergies, so we had to be very careful with her meal. Our waiter, Matt, was outstanding. He went above and beyond, checking with the kitchen multiple times to make sure everything was completely free of soy and dairy. He helped put together a custom salad bowl for her, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, we had such a lovely experience--from the food to the atmosphere to the attentive service. I would absolutely recommend this spot and would gladly return.

3/5, have gone back, and will, but mostly due to convenience and service…read more Fries are good, pretzels are made in house, and I do like the French Dip sandwich, but mostly go for the environment, service, and not the food or the value. Really wish I liked the food more because it's fairly mediocre for the price. The cheese that came with the pretzels was in the bigger cup like it used to be, but do appreciate that they now served prosecco too. IG: lanco.food.dude

Jump back in time at Bully's! Feels like you step back into the Great Gatsby Era! The views in here…read morewere very elegant for a pub and restaurant. Venison Sliders! You heard that right! They were awesome! 10/10 recommend! Pub tenders and fries were handbreaded and very good. The ice cream was the star of the show! Their chef crafts up some crazy flavors. We got Blueberry oreo, cinnamon toast crunch and chocolate eclair. (Eclair was the best!)

Delicious food. Menu is unique but not wheel reinventing (good thing). Bistro steak with bleu…read morecheese sauce was fantastic. Cooked to perfection, great value. Awesome lamb slider app as well. Good atmosphere and an overall great spot. When most restaurants have gone downhill, Bully's shines to this day. This place is run very well

Another fabulous visit to Cartel...early start on a Friday…read more.. Friendly greeting and service here are standard, thank you! The Cask was pumping out English Pub Ale again, and they had it on tap for those who prefer the gas. Simply amazing (cask). Since Pines was not flowing, moved on the Centient IPA, similar to the west coast style Pines...my bullseye. We finished with a 6oz pour of the Rye barrel aged, not my style but good experience. The French onion soup is always hearty and satisfying. It was only outdone by the beef/cheddar sandwich. Lori had the carnitas tacos, one of our favs! I can't say enough about the authenticity and quality here, in brews, food and service! Thank you! Go here!

Stopped by for apps and drinks on a Wednesday. It was both poker and wing night so it was busy. The…read morestaff however was very attentive and service was quick. The nachoes were really good, we liked the presentation and the diced peppers. Beers were good, my husband enjoyed the Arboreus and Old Grad pours specifically.

Held a large group luncheon here and everything was very good…read more Service was great! Super friendly, patient and helpful staff. Drink refills were timely : ) The starters and entrees were all well received. Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere is a bit dated but spacious and we were able to hang out after lunch and didn't feel rushed to exit. Nice spot for a group lunch for sure.

My wife holds scrapbooking retreats here at the hotel, and it is catered by Loxley's. In addition,…read morewe have eaten there outside of that and always an amazing time. The service is top notch, and the food is amazing. Today, 6 of us went into the restaurant, and four of us ordered the steak and cheese. It is amazing, that is all that I can say. The french fries are also as good as the steak and cheese. I would ride my motorcycle the 2 hours just to come here for it again.

love this place and their brews! but i would love to see more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu…read more I loved the cauliflower shawarma back when they had it but it seems like every menu change leaves out more veggie options :(

Rise and Vine…read more Microbrewery and pub located in quaint Mount Joy, PA, that's been in operation since 2018. They specialize in brewing small, batch seasonal brews and a farm-to-table dining. The Good: *Friendly service *As mentioned above, the beers are seasonal so they're always changing. *Poor Life Choices Hazy IPA was very interesting. Probably the sweetest Hazy I've ever drank and, while I wouldn't kick it out of bed, it's not what I'd prefer. *Cheesy Beer Fries upgrade is a must! The cheese was perfection, with a nice flavor of beer without it being overwhelming. *Large space which is great for large parties. We had six people and it was no issue. The Meh: *Free street parking but it can be difficult to find at times, believe it or not. There are a few free lots close-by, tho. *Interior can get a bit raucous *The Rachel (basically a Reuben w/ turkey instead of pastrami) was very underwhelming, a touch greasy, and the ratio of turkey to bread was way off. The Ugly: *The Chicken on the Chicken Nachos was hammered hard--as if Chicken breasts aren't dry enough. Conclusion: Overall, it's probably 3.5*, but I'll round-up because I'd still most likely be back to give them another go next time we're in the area.

I don't know how something made with orange juice tastes like a tootsie roll, but it does! My sister had a tequila sunrise and said she enjoyed it. We had no clue that they actually serve food and will be back to try that soon! The bartender was super friendly and the gentleman (who we assumed was the owner) was also very nice and talking to everyone! We felt welcomed there, which is always a plus!

Starview Brews is a charming spot in the heart of Columbia, PA. The nicely renovated space…read morepreserves a nunber of original details and is divided into a number iof smaller, quaint spaces--reminiscent of a UK public house. Service was quick and friendly at the bar and there are nice variety of beer styles to suit most tastes. I enjoyed a River Rat IPA (yeah, I know, boring!) which was nicey flavored and with a bit more malt than typical IPA. Food is also available, but we did not sample the menu--hence my "personal limit" of four stars for a drinks-only review. Starview has somewhat limited hours--open Wed thru Sat--so check befiore visiting. The bar was reasonably busy during our Saturday evening visit with what seemed to be a nice mix of visitors and locals Starview is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in lovely Columbia, PA.
