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!

Big Sigh... An attempt to create something good, unsual, but…read morenot only falls short in doing so, the inflated prices were enough for you to rethink your groceries for the week. Maybe what I smelled upon walking inside Mad Chef, were hops; I'm unsure. There was a lingering, unpleasant scent (hay/old peanut shells, an earthy staleness). When my food arrived, the scent dissipated. I purposely took a picture of the fish, on my fried fish sandwich, to illustrate what $17 and some change, looks like - very thin. The fish fry was tasty, slightly undercooked, soft crusted and soft bun, fresh condiments and those "pickles" were stellar. They were the best part of my meal. I would seriously purchase a jar of those pickles. Was wary of how hot honey would mesh with a pepperoni pizza, but surprisingly, the sweet heat and the savoriness of the pepperonis, worked well together. The only miss and it's a pretty big "miss," was the paper thin, tasteless crust, acting only as a vehicle to hold the toppings. Suggest you improve the crust and then, you'll have a stellar pie. Loved the peach bread pudding with brown sugar ice cream, but once again, for the price; the portion was skimpy. Liked the touch of homemade whipped cream, but it was overly whipped (stiff and tasteless), making it actually, impalatable.

We headed here after a day of hiking. They have an excellent selection of beer, and the service was…read moregreat. We will be back.

Atmosphere: chill vibe, clean and quiet (wasn't busy when we went, it was Sunday). Service: the bartender was polite and respectful. Got us our beers quickly. One thing I wish this place had- some FOOD! If this place offered some appetizer type foods, I think they would pop off more. I know that Per Diem is right across the lot and all with a full bar as well but it would have been nice to have some food options. Not the biggest gripe but just something to consider in the future for the business.

Closed. Gone. History now…read more That said, Hell in a Bucket was great while it lasted! Microbrewed beer, a scratch kitchen, and live music. Maybe somebody will pick up this idea and run with it again...

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and found the place pretty quiet and empty. The highlight may…read morehave been watching the World Marble Championship on the tv. The bar was almost completely empty and for most of our experience we were the only patrons in the restaurant. The staff who greeted us were very nice but the food service was horribly slow for us being the only table. We tried to order a pizza, but the dough needed to proof and it would be 30 minutes. Then tried to order a double patty burger and again told it'd take a minimum of 30 minutes for the burger patty's to be made. Ended up ordering nachoes for appetizer plus basic lunch fare and the order still took 45 minutes to come out and it was cold. We also felt that the kids menu prices were pretty steep. Beers were fine and the food was fine, but did not feel for the wait anything was really fabulous. If it wasn't for the fact that this location is on the 2025 Ale Trail, we would not recommend.

Run, don't walk the Rural City. If you want the feel of a local community bar/pub with great, well…read morecrafted beer then Rural City is your place. The range of available beers will suit everyone in your group. I am a local. This is my regular, go to spot and I've been to every craft brewer in Northern Lancaster and Southern Berks Counties. The staff is exceptional in helping people select beers. The food compliments the beer offerings. The rotating variety of egg rolls is unique. If you remember the former brewery, which shall remain nameless, forget it. Rural City will blow it away. Drop in and say hello to Ben and James (the owners). This might easily become your go to spot.

Visited this place from out of town and saw a HUGE beer garden on the website. Sadly when we went…read morethere was no beer garden but that place was still pretty cool. You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though! Food menu was pretty big. The burger and tacos were delicious, the mozzarella sticks only had 3 sticks which seemed too small to be app. Overall nice place with friendly staff.

The man who waited on us at the bar area was rude. He greeted us as well as other customers with "what's up?" which I thought was so ignorant. Almost 50 years old and never had that kind of greeting at a food establishment. Also left us standing there for a decent while to just pay for tab as he was assisting all the bar customers with making sure they were completely taken care of first. Only helped us as the line was growing. There was one other woman working so they could definitely use help. Aside from the staff taking your orders at the bar area, it is completely self-serve. I would recommend this place for the food but not the drinks or the staff.

The food menu was great and there were several additional specials to try. The ceasar salad had delicious croutons and was well dressed. The bruschetta flatbread had the perfect amount of cheese, the crust was yummy, and the bruschetta didn't add too much liquid. Beers were great, tried a creamsicle ale and enjoyed several local beers too!

The cheeseburger sliders with fries were spot on and the best dish we got tonight were the onion rings! They were seasoned perfectly and the texture is amazing.

Highly recommend trying a session IPA, it was super light. Also want to add-- the bartender was working very hard and was super kind and attentive the entire time to everyone!
