Love the food and the portions are huge. The waitresses are always amazing and the owner is awesome as well.

The food was good here, but this place has the dirtiest rest rooms, pretty Disgusting read more

Food was great but the service was horrible, Tiffany D. Was so slow with attending our table and was rude, we ordered our food before the game started and didn't get it until half time, we asked for water and she didn't even turn her head to acknowledge she just went about her way. We asked for the check mid way thru the 3rd quarter and didn't get our cards back until 10 mins after the game ended. Be better! read more

Good food and portions for the price. Drinks are proper too. Cool casual spot to chill.

Food was normal. Service was normal, ambiance was normal. I am thankful for normal...and most of all, it is nearby my home...lol

The food is excellent! Service is great! Can get noisy, but then again it is a bar. Go for lunch or early dinner and it isn't to crowded.

Came by here for a friends going away retirement party and it's a bar set up, big screen TVs, food and more. One thing I do have to say which made it a 4 star not sure what's part of the inside or the patio until you see people smoking next to you. I don't know what it is just don't like the smoke while o am eating any other time I don't care. The waitress the one with the blue hair was soooo helpful and was on top of her table we had about 10 people and we had no prob orders were correct and always had our drinks filled up. She deserves a raise!!! The food portions were soooo big and soooo delicious. read more

Since you allow smoking outdoors with children present during covid I'll just provide information for second hand smoke if anyone with common sense cares to be informed. Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to indoor air pollution, and that breathing secondhand smoke (also known as environmental tobacco smoke) is a cause of disease in healthy nonsmokers, including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, and lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute has determined that secondhand smoke is responsible for the early deaths of up to 65,000 Americans annually. (National Cancer Institute (NCI), "Health effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke: the report of the California Environmental Protection Agency. Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph 10," Bethesda, MD: National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute (NCI), August 1999.). The Surgeon General has declared that: a. Secondhand smoke causes disease and premature death in nonsmokers exposed to smoke; b. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk for sudden death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more severe asthma; C. Adults exposed to secondary smoke have a higher risk of coronary heart disease and lung cancer; d. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke; and e. Separating smoking and nonsmoking sections of indoor areas does not sufficiently remove the threats of secondhand smoke in enclosed areas. read more

Servers here are very rude. If you even make a mistake of ordering from the wrong server(who's keeping track?) you get a "Don't you have a server?" response. And also, don't make a mistake of calling them out for it cause these entitled kids will not think twice on talking back and giving you sassy attitude with a matching slamming your check on your table from these sassy waitresses. Also, they did not hesitate on telling my military friends that "Just so you know, we have the right to refuse service to anyone" after finding out that I put a Zero on the tip line. Oops. Mind you, we were just having a good chit chat over drinks and minding our own business. But if they don't want us back, that is not a problem at all. To say that it was horrible service is an understatement. Stay away. read more

The best bar and grill affordable prices good service I love their food and drinks, Emma she is the nicest waitress there read more

The food here is pretty good and their lunch express menu prices can't be beat. The vibe of the restrant is upbeat and worth checking out. On the other hand service depends on the time of day. At lunch time the service in the indoor non smoking area is great. I have had multiple experiences in the evening that I have gone un noticed and left after 20 minutes where others come in and get service right away. If there lunch menu wasn't so reasonable I'd probably no return. read more

This review is strictly about the waitresses. They have no care in the world when acknowledging female customers. Several large groups were there on Thursday night, and it took over 45 minutes to get a waitress to come to our end. Now the was after we walked up to other waitresses and asked for help, they stated that's not my section or I'm not your waitress. Once we determined who our waitress was, Sophia by the way, she kept saying I will be right there. We finally walked over to the bar and ordered drinks and food directly from the bartender. Totally fine with giving my money and tips to him, extremely nice. The icing on the cake was when we were already eating and drinking our beverages that Sophia wanders over and ask, "Do we need anything?" Clearly, we were taking care of now and did not need her to take our order. read more

I've been here three times, it's close to work so I gave it a few tries. Service wasn't deliberately terrible, but it bothered me that I was treated like I wasn't there. Why should I be the person saying "hello," "have a great day," etc. In an apparent one sided conversation? Driving through the neighborhood I see a billboard supporting Trump, and I think it is shameful, given our current political climate. The only impression this billboard gives me is that anyone who does not support Trump is not welcome in their business. The billboard states,"Paid for by Schooner's," as opposed to being paid for by the owner of the business. To be clear, it isn't the owner saying "this is my political perspective, you are not my personal friend if you don't agree," rather this billboard yells, "this was paid for by my business, and if you don't agree, you are not welcome here." There are hundreds of businesses in Lancaster and Palmdale who have doubled down on their customer service, and deserve community support. Perhaps now isn't the time to support a platform of division. Here is my opinion, my personal-individual opinion of your business, know that you have forever lost my patronage and that of anyone else I have the opportunity to tell this story to. If only I could rate less than one star. read more

This place does not follow rules, smoking allowed, very few masks on patrons and servers . Fries oily, great Abelt sandwich. read more

Schooners Patio Grille - Ultimate Bloody Mary is incredible. - American Near Me - Lancaster, California

Just because I didn't freak out and complain to the manager when a container full of salsa was dumped in my lap, doesn't mean that I wouldn't have appreciated something off our tab. Considering that I had to spend the rest of my night sticky and smelling of salsa. It went all the way down my pants and into my shoes. When I went to the bathroom, it turns out there are no paper towels. Our server instead gave me a scalding hot dirty kitchen towel. I don't think comping my side of fries or ice tea would have been too much to ask. Even a round of drinks or some of our food would have been nice. read more

We got the Veggie potato and Cal Club Sandwich and they were both massive and so good. Love this place. read more

I won't be able to return to this place because they allow smoking INSIDE the establishment. And the food isn't that good.

I come here for their steak. You know it's a good steak when you don't need an A1 sauce. Casual place. Good service.

Lets start with this, the drinks are always marvelous. But on the other hand this food is as bad as can get for bar food. The only food that is good, are the sliders and the French fries. My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which was recommended by the waitress, it was dry or over cooked and no flavor. She told the waitress that she did not like how the sandwich tasted after two bites and could she remove it off of our bill. The waitress asks the management if she could take the sandwich off and they replied with no. That was not a good enough reason to take it off of our bill. SOOO, I want to know? What is a good reason? We spent $125.00 on our food and drinks but they could not take off a sandwich that was nasty as tree bark. I had the baked Potatoe with an unattractive portion of pork piled up, again nasty. It tasted like a failed attempt to make sweet pulled pork, please stop making this dish. The baked potato was better without it! I had the chili also, stop it, stop making chili or find another recipe, Wendys chili is better!! I would not feed this food to my DOG, he deserves better! And this happened at LUNCH on a Monday May 6th. Please revamp your menu. We will never tell anyone to eat here. Nor will we ever come back. One of the wurst places I have been to eat in 30yrs. I would not ever serve anyone this food! I have tried ten different menu items at ten different visits I can not even get a steak cooked med rear. Come on, please stop playing with me. The ribs are over cooked, and the sauce is not that great. It is a hit or a miss with the tacos, I guess it depends on the time of day! WOW But we do love the Chicken tenders, French fries, and the cheeseburger sliders!! (K.I.S.S.) Our hats are off to the great bartenders, keep serving those cold ones!! I am a Retired 26yr Army VET been cooking and serving BBQ for over 20yrs. I know food! From Ohio to Afghanistan to Ft. Hood TX, now in the AV. read more

I have been going to Schooners for a very long time. We love the staff and the owner. The food is always delicious and the drinks are ice cold. Best sports bar in town. I could not recommend this place enough. **Clearly there are a lot of fake negative reviews on here and should all be considered with a grain of salt. I have never experienced anything that has been mentioned. ** read more

NO SERVICE DOGS ALLOWED I am a trainer for a reputable dog training company, we train service dogs for a non profit that works in training and pairing service dogs with veterans at no charge to them. We took 3 service dogs for continued training today around noon, I asked my coworker to make sure it wasn't too packed inside and to let them know. The waitress said it was ok and that "the owner loves service dogs." She asked us to sit right next to the door which was fine, didn't have a problem with that. After waiting in our seats for longer then 5 minutes a bartender came to ask if we have been helped, I said not yet and asked for a beer. With all 3 dogs sleeping and out of the way, he came back empty handed and asked for paperwork for our service dogs, I declined to show him anything as it is not law to show paperwork. He said he would need to go check if that was ok. He went to who we believe was the owner, sitting at the bar. He took one look at us and told him "No Dogs allowed," why did you have to see what we looked like before saying that? Bartender came to us and told us "Unfortunately NO dogs allowed" Nice sign on the door allowing service dogs though(Sign not pictured, smaller then "No pets" sign off to the right.) Owner probably thought we were lying after we left without complaining We left with no argument because we felt disrespected and I didn't want to spend my money on an establishment that saw two guys with 3 uniformed service dogs and saw us as liars. I also felt no need to argue with an employee when their spineless boss stays behind and watches from his stool. I won't file a report because at the end of the day he would get a small fine and do it all over again, these people never learn. After going elsewhere over 5 miles away on Ave J, into downtown Lancaster and explaining what happened, because I didn't want a repeat, the server told us Schooners is known in the service industry for being below average in attitude and ownership. She even reccomended the restaurant accross the street from Schooners and said that restaurant only asks that all service dogs go under the table, perfectly reasonable rule. Bartender was just doing as he is told, I see that just as spineless though, sin huevos. I'll leave the dog commmunity and news out of this and leave it as a review for locals and visitors to see. People with service dogs should know before coming here, NO SERVICE DOGS ALLOWED. Know that the owner will read this a laugh as it does nothing to his establishment. Thank a veteran when they come into your establishment, but remind them you don't acknowledge their disabilities if you can't see them. read more

Got denied entrance on a major holiday (St Pattys). Sucks cause they weren't at full capacity and didn't really explain why I couldn't enter. I used to like coming here, but the service/treatment has been poor lately read more

Service was very poor my son and I stopped for lunch food was ok but staff was very poor customer service the waitress to busy talking to all her friends and the rest of the employees don't want to take care off the customers they all are to busy doing nothing this place is a joke..... read more

Waited over 35 mins for the waitress w/ blue hair to stop at our table after visiting/chatting with her friends at the next table over. She didn't stop once the entire time. When we finally flagged her down so we could order, she said she couldn't serve us because we had tabs open at the bar. Had she stopped at our table within a reasonable time in between her social breaks at our neighbor table it wouldn't have been an issue. We could have just ordered food at the bar earlier instead of sitting around for 35 minutes just waiting. The bar staff was very helpful. read more

Great atmosphere & great selection of beers! Food is always delicious no matter what you order. Customer service is always on point.

Omg! This Ultimate Bloody Mary is amazing!!! Not a big eater so this lil slider was perfect!! The Bloody Mary was spot on!!! Made by Jesse with a smile!!! Couldn't have been happier! Thanks! Schooners!!! I'll get word out! read more

It's a dive bar. If you are looking for a dive bar with great food, great service, and eclectic music go here first. Yes they allow people to smoke on the deck-which filters into the dining room, but its a dive bar...what the hell do you expect?!? And honestly that's part of the frigging charm of this little gem! The Hubs and I wandered in for lunch the other day, and had a really nice meal. Our waitress was very sweet and super friendly, our food was out quickly and was soooooooo delicious, and our glasses never got below half full. What I am saying is this...if you like a biker-divy-friendly-neighborhood-bar where everyone just lets go and lets loose-the service is friendly and the food is oh so yummy... this is your place my friends! read more

Schooners Patio Grille - Rueben and buffalo blue cheese fried...OMG-hog heaven!!! - American Near Me - Lancaster, California

Came here with two friends and a tiny dog that was kept in a stroller. After a hr of being there and just getting our food the security guard came over and said we couldn't have the dog here. Made us stop eating and was very rude. Had to cancel our tab, give back our food and leave. Nobody even noticed the dog but the security guard didn't seem to care. Maybe if he did his job at the door we would have known and could have saved ourselves a lot of time. Very disappointed in this place read more

Cool bar. Uppity people. Cheap enough drinks. If u go in the morning u can order food .

First time visiting this establishment last night. The atmosphere was okay but the drinks were HORRIBLE!! First i got a kamikaze shooter..watermelon flavor, straight tasted like medicine and all the alcohol was at the very bottom. Next I ordered a lemon drop because I figured that should be a super easy drink and how can you fuck that up since it's just a couple ingredients, right? I only tasted straight sugar in that martini..tasted no lemon at alll. Such a waste of money honestly. read more

Sierra is an excellent karaoke jockey. Come to schooners on Monday night. It's the place to be.

Fun place! Be careful walking in though: I wasn't aware the crushed peanut shells on the floor would be slippery! Drinks are served in HUGE frozen glasses which intrigued me enough to have two. I had their chili and shrimp wrap. The chili was very filling. The wrap was nice and spicy by itself. It comes with two ranch sauces one more spicy than the other. Did I mention the wrap was already spicy? No sauce needed. I'm looking forward to my next return to Lancaster, and this establishment already! read more

My boyfriend and I came here back in the end of November of 2020 right before the lock downs again. He lives in the area and knows many of the staff at local restaurants. We were served by a girl named Chelsey who was very inappropriate and rude. Not only was she rubbing her hands all over the back of my boyfriend (they knew each other from him going there but still so inappropriate) but she was telling us all about how happy she was to be rude to her tables, that this is just her "Covid job" so she doesnt care. She was complaining that a table walked out on her without paying the tab and calling all the guest there needy. I was so shocked and appalled. These people, us included came there to support the business and staff before the lock downs and this is how she is treating them. I am also vegetarian almost vegan and I ordered a Bloody Mary and was very specific no meat garnish. She brought it back with multiple meat garnishes in it. Yuck. I had to ask for water 3 times before a bus boy got it for us. She brought our appetizers with no share plates or utensils. But the kicker is when I went to the bathroom before we left, she yelled at my boyfriend for bringing me there as she "thought they had something ". Mind you they have never been in a relationship and he only knew her from going there with his friends. So when he mentioned going to that place again now that things are back open, I refused and it reminded me to write this review. I hope this helps someone else. read more

Great place great atmosphere and reasonable prices. I like to meet my friends there for drinks. Always plays good rock music.

Crazy bar scene on a fight night. After we got in, it was hard to find a table or any bar space. The food menu actually suprised me. I was expecting the usual bar fare, but they had a lot of options. The buffalo salad was my pick, and it didn't dissapoint! It was gold! I need to see if they have takeout because my food was fresh and flavorful and my co-worker said his was really good as well. Adult beverage prices were pretty good although I can't recall the happy hour info. read more
