    I came here after a day at dutch wonderland. We had a larger group with lots of kids. This food hall was a perfect pick. Everyone got something they wanted, plenty of options, and everyone loved their food. The system for ordering was a little strange. Every place had a computer to order at, you entered the beeper that you took, paid, and had absolutely zero human interaction. The seating also got very crowded on a Friday night and people were fighting for tables around 7:30pm.

    Arepa con carne is what I had

    The food was delicious! Good amount of beef on my taco. Service was friendly and the seating was fine. This was the first time here, now it won't be the last. I love trying different foods and this would be the place to do that. Arepa con carne is what I had.

    Cool venue

    Great food market with many different food choices. My husband had German food which was really delicious and I had Thai food that was also really yummy. Nice open dining area and a central bar. Good spot to meet and be able to try several different cuisines.

    Many food options- can't go wrong. All the vendors were friendly and helpful. Such a cool location. Enjoyed the ambiance.

    I loved this spot!! This is a perfect option for a date night or a night out with a big group of people. My team and I were in Lancaster for an event and we went to this food hall. There was 14 of us, so this was perfect for us. There are so many vendor options to choose from. We all tried things from different vendors and everyone raved about their food. Some of us got the taco spot, some of us got the pho, some of us got the Latin food, some of us got the Thai food and I got the poke bowl from the sushi vendor. The sushi spot was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was fresh and so great. It did take about 20-30 minutes to get my food, but I didn't mind waiting. There are a lot of seating options. They even had a trivia night going on. This is a great spot.

    Very nice concept and execution. So many great restaurants and different kinds of food. Lovely!

    This is a beautiful space, bright, and wonderfully decorated. They have music playing on low volume, string lighting, some greenery, and tons of seating. The bar area is stunning, as are the high ceilings. I was impressed by both the offering of cuisines across the kitchen concepts and the cleanliness of the public bathrooms. Any vendor we approached was friendly and quick to reveal any specials or popular menu items. I'd definitely suggest stopping in, if in the area!

    A medium sized food Hall with a grand feel and atmosphere. We must have just missed the lunch rush around 1 on a Wednesday. Historic building that started as a Farmer's Market in 1888. A Bar area is in the center of the space with seating in the middle surrounded by the Food Stations/Vendors. The concept reminds me of the Time Out market approach where each Station is Chef owned. I have to say that I was impressed with the variety of food options. Moroccan, Detroit Style Pizza, Middle Eastern, Thai, Sushi, Soul Food and Colombian/Laos fusion to name a few. We tried Flavors of Morocco and Mekatos and enjoyed both. Service at both stations was excellent and engaged with Chefs present. We saw they also have various events (Trivia, Live Music). We found a street parking spot easily right in front. We will definitely be back!

    Been wanting to try this place after I heard it was converted into a food hall with a bar in the center. Lots of great choices of many ethnicities. It was hard to make up my mind. And a large bar in the center! I had a delicious Classic Salmon Poke Bowl, my friend had Schnitzel, another vegan friend had a Lebanese veg plate. Everything was yummy. You order & they give you a buzzer & you pick it up & grab a table or sit at the bar to eat. Everyone was friendly. Cocktails were good too. Recommended, especially if you're eating with friends who like lots of different choices of cuisines.

    If you read any of my reviews, Kelly, you know what I am going to say here. This spot had some killer vibes to it with a band throwing down some 90's/00's jams while sharing some really interesting yet delicious cocktails. It is a great place to start your night out in Lancaster or even a place to take the family as there are so many different food options. It would be a 5/( for me if there were a fully vegan restaurant there or even more vegan options. The food looked good though! Bartenders were spot on with their cocktails and service.

    Busy day inside!

    American Legion Post No 34 - Forget harry band

    American Legion Post No 34

    3.7(10 reviews)

    This is a response to review of 9-29-18. That review is incredibly mis-leading…read more. So to start out, I have attended at least 10 events at the American Legion's Hall from bands to celebrations. I liked it so much I joined as a member. The staff is always courteous and friendly. The prices are better than most. The facility is also kept cleaner than many other venues. The night in question, the guests were smuggling in alcohol from out-side which is a violation of the their contract.. Sorry, but when you rent a hall you are responsible for the behavior of the people you bring in. When warned that any outside alcohol was a violation of the contract and that if it was seen again the event would be terminated the Bride holding the event said it was "Not my problem". Well, it happened again.. and the event was ended and tons of people who did not know the details got really rude and surged the bar and then the girl in charge went and got help from club members (I was one of them). I saw the containers of confiscated alcohol that were left out in clear view on tables.. People that do these types of things need to stop screaming show me some respect and need to show some respect themselves. You sign a contract you take responsibility and "respect" your own word. Bartenders at a place with a liquor license have to up-hold the liquor regulations and when people are smuggling in alcohol it hits the revenue side and it keeps them from doing their job. So, you break the rules you face the consequences. No one wants to see anyone's event ended early, but when you dis-respect the contract you signed and show no concern when warned and it happens again, the event is over. With the cries for "respect", a door man is not security and is there in more of a service role for needs that come up. He is not going to frisk your guests on the way in. That would be disrespectful. In addition, the race card was played in that review.. The club has members of all races and services events from all races. Only those that refuse to comply with their contracts have issues and that is not determined by race.

    Just left from my cousins wedding. It was a great day until the "door man" who was paid to do ONE…read moreSIMPLE JOB, did not do his job. Because he didn't do his job, the wedding was shut down a little after 11pm. The hall was paid to extend extra hours until 2AM! Oh, and the woman behind the bar who was bartending was extremely rude and ended up calling the police because she was shutting down the reception (mind you she said there was a riot, which isn't true) and it was all because THE DOORMAN DIDN'T DO HIS PAID JOB! Hire a new doorman/security dude. Oh and another thing, If you're of Anglo Saxon, this place is for you. If you're Hispanic or African American, look elsewhere. It seem as though they felt the need to comment that they felt like they were going to get hurt when all in all, the bartenders where also super rude and snotty all night, which is why I didn't leave a tip. Not even a penny. Don't quit your day job if you hate bartending so much. :::::::::::::::.......UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE......::::::::::::: I too been to many events here of people outside my family. Some of my friends are actually members (If you must know). This is the 6th time I've been to an event and the 2nd time police have showed up. Since the "members" of American Legion want to criticize my right to review, I will also add that the police came so fast because the woman who called the police had mentioned that someone was stabbed. Lol. Who was stabbed please tell me. The the bottle that was UNOPENED OUT IN THE TABLE WAS A GIFT TO THE GROOM AND HIS BRIDE FOR THEIR HONEYMOON. They didn't know that was brought in for it to BE GIFTED TO THEM AS THEY ARE A NEWLYWEDS. So, after it was mentioned that someone brought in that bottle that was to be gifted to them, she said that it wasn't her problem because one, she didn't know that person brought it in and two, it really isn't her fault. Why didn't the doorman tell them to take it back to their vehicle? HOW HARD IT IS TO TELL SOMEONE TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE BACK TO THEIR CAR? Also, the person who brought it in arrived to the reception way late. They had no idea that they could not bring in a gift bottle that is limited edition for the newlyweds that was to be opened solely for their HONEYMOON ONLY. And you guys kept the bottle lol. Oh and I gotta add that the woman in the stripped dress that was behind the bar was over charging drinks. One cup of appily ever after was sometimes charged as 2 drinks. What is that? BTW, it wasn't a surge, but it was actually my family trying to calm people down. We're all very very close and we have to calm each other down as a family. Oh and another thing, what was the point of taking all of the table linen with some cups and plates of food on them and balling them up with everything inside? Making a mess. It seems like you want some members to back you up and rate this place to try to keep the stars up and ratings high because I see that they're new on Yelp lol. Shoot, I am a US Navy veteran myself and I won't join this post. I will not be coming back. At all.

I found Excelsior by accident, after having nearly put in a deposit for another location. I set up a tour after finding them through my photographer and ended up falling in love. As someone who looked at both very outdoorsy locations and very industrial locations, this was the perfect combination of the two things that I was looking for. Excelsior was the right spot for me from the beginning, as you walk in, the building give the most breathtaking contrast of old vs new, with greenery and plants lining the walls, the terrace, and the sunken gardens. There are lots of options for both indoor and outdoor events, or in our case the combination of both. We opted to be married in front of the large greenery walls, with our cocktail hour in the catacombs and sunken gardens, and then our reception in the Grande Salon. We ended up using the Empire Room upstairs for some of my bridal shots and the street view for pictures. Don't worry, we used it all! I also wanted to mention the beautiful getting ready suite for the bridal party which is very spacious and easily fit us (approximately 10+ people at a time) and the incredibly clean and spacious bathrooms. Beyond the beautiful venue, the staff was genuinely a joy to work with. My primary contact was Kaitlyn who is the Director of Catering for Excelsior. She was so knowledgeable, prepared, and fun to work with. She also gave us lots of ideas and allowed us to customize a lot of things to make it uniquely us. That woman is a miracle worker- she even figured out how to get me things I missed at the cocktail hour (long after it ended) and gave my husband recipes from their kitchen because he LOVED the food so much. When I tell you that every person at our wedding commented how beautiful Excelsior was, how kind and organized the staff was, and how incredible the food was- I mean it. Every single person! I even had quite a few people from the catering and restaurant industry who all said it was marvelous. I couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding. It was truly a masterpiece!
