The Blue Sky Tavern/Red Mill Ribs & Whiskey This was a wonderful little spot that's not so little. It has a general tavern section, bbq section down stairs, outside seating, and a stage for bands. Last night was open night and it was very cool. The service was amazing from the hostess to our waitress Amy. The house margarita was very good. My chicken wings were amazing and huge. My wife had a steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a crab cake. Amazing date night spot. read more

Blue Sky is a great spot that continues the tradition of other great spots at this location. The upstairs features a large bar and expansive dining area. In warmer weather, there is also a very charming outdoor space. The downstairs, a whiskey and barbecue-focused bar is a very cool space with stone walla, low ceilings, and an intimate vibe. The food here is impressive, as evidenced by full dining tables on a recent Friday evening when my companion and I visited. There are a variety of options on the menu to suit most any taste. The beer selection is also nice with a large but smart selection of drafts, bottles, and cans. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive. Blue Sky is definitely a great stop if you're in the Harrisburg or northern York County PA area. read more

Do not under any circumstances order the "brisket". After reading the menu I knew it wasn't going to actually be brisket but I had to try it. Don't make the same mistake as me. 100% not brisket. It's horribly seasoned shoulder meat chopped up. My wife was looking at my plate and said "Is that cornbread or garlic bread." I replied "Exactly". She asked "What's it taste like?" I answered "Just like you said...." BBQ is not their thing. Skip it. read more

This might be the best Tavern I've ever been to in my whole life (and if you glance at my reviews you know that I'm pretty ruthless when an establishment doesn't measure up). THIS PLACE MEASURES UP. Best atmosphere, friendliest staff, lowest prices, widest selection of beers, wine and liquor, and a great kitchen on top of all that! The music is the finest selection of outstanding bar music I've ever experienced -- come here just to listen to it! I wish I'd known about this place years ago -- I'd have bought a house next door to it. read more

Food is always amazing. The waitresses in the Redmill restaurant in the basement are amazing.

The food was very good, the service was good, the lighting is alittle dark. Over all would come back If in the area again. read more

Great service and will definitely come back. I might even go tonight. ! Staff very engaging. Food on point.

I ordered a smash burger that was excellent! It was accompanied by an order of fries. This is one of the few places I eat where the fries on the side are not a huge pile dwarfing the rest of the meal. Some people may want the huge pile, but I did not. The service was friendly and quick -- great because I was in a hurry. I like going to Blue Sky because it is a casual place with great food. read more

Great bar. Service was excellent. Melissa is the best. Beer selection is very good. Good vibes.

Lady Matilda was craving macaroni and cheese but we were stuck at an event negotiating a contract variation with the Duval Magician's Cartel. It's a tedious, pedantic process to go through a six-thousand page agreement line by line, so Lady Matilda was bored and scrolling through Grubhub. The mac and cheese options looked to her to be too good to pass up. She ordered our lunch through Grubhub. The order was ready, but Grubhub was delayed due to problems finding a driver. Despite this, the food arrived hot and was EXCELLENT. I had the cracker-breaded chicken strips (I revert to 12 years old when I'm bogged down in boring chores like that) but Lady Matilda was so over the moon about the Briskit Mac and Cheese that the Duval delegation decided to adjourn for the night and visit the tavern in person. Excellent food, well packaged. It's not cheap, but it was clearly worth the $$$. read more

Last minute stop, SO GLAD we did! Fun Tavern, the paradise burger and steak tacos were delicious! Donna our server was Great! Would highly recommend!! read more

Good food and friendly staff. Bingo on Tuesdays with Big John are a blast. Me and my friends come every Tuesday.

service was extremely slow for it being only half full, drink glasses were dirty beer was not very cold, crab dip was served Luke warm and had to be sent back to be reheated, short rib wellington pastry was not fully cooked and the women's restroom was dirty. I was there a year ago and everything has gone downhill read more

Service, food ambience all top of the line. We found Blue Sky on a Sunday morning & have been back. Both visits very nice. Staff is great. Seafood soup & burgers amazing. Returning this week with a group of 15. Anxious. read more

Went on a Wednesday around 6. Sat at the bar to help the bartender because she was the only one covering the whole room. She was great!! Organized, patient, kind. Drinks were a good pour too. Shroom burger was cooked perfectly, and tasted great. My daughter agreed that hers was good too. Fried pickles were perfect. Side salad not wimpy. Definitely recommend and will be going back! read more

My daughter and I stopped for lunch as we were out running errands all morning. The waitress recommended the special, a burrito with chips and salsa. The food came out with potato chips, no salsa, and the burrito was awful, super spicy, as if the meat had been sitting. We had two bites at best. We told the waitress who said she could only offer $5 off. At this point we just left and decided I would call later to complain to a manager. Huge thumbs down on this place! read more

Came here probably a year ago and the food was amazing. Tonight I should have left when it took more than 10 minutes for a server to even come ask us for drinks after arriving and being seated. Got loaded fries as an app and I got maybe 20 fries with some burnt taco meat on top of it they are claiming to be chi Got a side of Mac and cheese for my two year old and came out with what looked like it was a week old burnt baked Mac and cheese. Noodles either crunchy from being burnt or mushy and brown. If I could give it less than one star I would. Manager just sitting at the bar drinking while shitty food is being served and couldn't care less. Waiter even told me "manager was gonna eat it tonight but said it looked kinda off so he didn't" but then he let it be served to others paying money for it. Will not come again. Place has gone downhill. Looking rundown and dingy. read more

The Blue Sky Tavern - Burnt Mac and Cheese - Beer Bar Near Me - Etters, Pennsylvania

Since I always comment on which places have homemade ranch, this place does, and it was good. Started out sharing their soft pretzel with the beer cheese, I really enjoyed the pretzel and cheese. For the main course, I got the big dipper AKA a French dip. Their au ju was nothing to write home to mom about, I added some leftover beer cheese to the top because I didn't feel there was enough cheese. All in all, good experience would go back and try out something different. read more

We entered from the parking lot through Biergarten and we were asked to walk through restaurant to a front entrance to check in with host. Had to ask a couple people since there was no host there for awhile. Finally we were seated, all the way back by where we originally entered Ok... Ordered drinks and apps, tried to get our waitress a couple times to add drink etc. mostly ignored but she finally came over. Wasn't that busy when we first arrived btw. Got our drinks and apps but no plates to eat our apps off of. Hmmm again tried to flag down waitress to no avail so we just dug in making a little mess on the table trying to get food from app bowls to our faces When she returned later we just asked for extra napkins to tidy our table up. Got our food. Everyone loved their food but I didn't really enjoy the Cajun Alfredo with mushrooms. Not many mushrooms and mostly cheese. Was expecting a little more heat and flavor for it being "Cajun" but I found it bland. If you're looking for greasy, fried foods, this is your place. Hubs tried a couple different ciders and they have an extensive list of alcoholic beverages. Took a star off for just the confusing entry/host situation and another for the inattentive waitress and no plates for our apps. read more

Both the food and the service was good. I enjoyed the selection of their dinner menu. I will definitely go back.

First visit to Blue Sky on a Friday night. Had two levels, but we dined in basement level as that was where the live music was located. Decent crowd which had the bartenders and waitresses in the weeds. Extensive beer list and $4 craft beer special which was a plus. My wife had an old fashion which she said was ok. I ordered the paradise burger which I would rate a 7/10. Fries were very good. The pulled pork my wife ordered was too spicy for her to enjoy (wasn't warned about spicy). Onion rings were over cooked. Service was courteous, but overwhelmed. The entertainment saved the night. read more

Awesome everything. When they first opened they would give you free sauces and you could add bacon to anything for free. Since then the prices have gone up and they now charge extra for carrots and celery and sauces and bacon. Only bad meal I ever had there was the prime rib. They were very busy and it took long time to get food. When it arrived to table it was as if they just pulled it from the refrigerator. Management offered to replace it but I didn't want to wait another 30-40 minutes after the rest of table had already finished their meals. They did remove it from the bill but they didn't let me take it to go to warm up later. read more

This place was really great! Our waitress was very nice and I ordered healthy food and it was actually good! I got the lemon pepper cod and broccoli. Went on open mic night on Wednesday evening and it was so good to hear some local musicians. I couldn't believe the talent! Shea Quinn was there, unbelievable talent! Will definitely visit again. read more

Nice place but not a fan of their menu. It's not typical bar food. Staff is very nice!

Love the colonial old school pub feeling and atmosphere. Menu was solid with a ton of offerings. I had the Wagyu philly sandwich and oh oh oh the bun it was on was freaking awesome. Melt in your mouth bun and meat! I am already planning my next trip back here as my mouth just waters thinking about that damn sandwich!!!!! read more

This place is huge! Find a place to park and head inside. The menu is creative and tasty. We had brunch last week that includes the cracker chicken strips, chicken and waffles and one of the breakfast skillets. Tots are homemade - think mashed potato balls. Chicken and waffles was the kind I grew up with - chicken and gravy over Mini waffles. Great comfort food ... though too salty to get 5 stars. Cracker chicken (quite a few options of this fried breading) was unique and tasty. The skillet was on the smaller size but prices were reasonable, so an additional side is affordable. Pick A meal and Give them a try ... read more

4:30 on a Friday afternoon and this place is wall to wall people. Looks like they are fully staffed. And everyone one was running around trying to stay on top of everything. Attitude of the staff was good and attentive for has busy as they were. Their menu had a nice selection on it. They have specials threw out the week including a happy hour. Quality of what I ordered was good. They have out side seating. With enough room to move around. I would come back here. read more

Hit or miss on food and service. The past 2 times have been a not so great experience. Haven't been back in a while. Slower days the service is terrible. We want to love it since it's so close to our house but they need to be consistent. read more

Today was my first time here ever, and luckily for us, they had just hired this amazing new chef! OMG, the food was phenomenal! Best I have had in the area. Cozy spot. Rustic. Great service. I can't say enough about this food. Jeromy Kimple, you have exceptional culinary talent. Kudos to you! And thank you, Bret, for your wonderful service. Keep up the great work! I'll be back! read more

We had our rehearsal dinner at blue sky & I have only GREAT things to say. First of all, The new chef did an amazing job with their new menu. The catering menu is just as good! We had a party of about 40 people and EVERY SINGLE PERSON had something great to say about how good the food was. The staff is so friendly and made us feel like a part of their family. I'm not one to leave reviews but I just had to leave one for blue sky because they deserve all of the business!!! We regularly have been going since the new menu came out because we love the food & the environment is something you don't have a lot of in this area. 10/10 recommend blue sky for hosting dinner parties, hangout spots or just your typical seated dinner!!!! read more

The place was cool. Apparently there is more than one level. We were on the ground level. Band was cool. Now for the food. I had chicken and waffles. It said it was Belgian waffles. However, it was more like eggo waffles. The mashed potatoes were actual real mashed potatoes. The gravy was kinda bland. The max and cheese was real as well. Not that instant bullshit. The corn appetizer (can't remember the name) comes out cold. Feel like it would be better if it was warm. But they said bcz of sour cream it can't be warm. The sweet chili sauce on the shrimp was delicious. The other people with us had chicken with the braised cabbage and Caesar salad. They said chick was moist. They got big portions (4 pieces of chicken) and had to take it home. The waitress was nice but tries a little too hard (mainly bcz she is new and doesn't wanna mess up) and it makes it kinda overbearing. But we still loved her. We will be going back to try the prime rib and fish when the oven is fixed. read more

A lot of varied experiences here... so not sure really how to review. I know they are trying and heavens knows we need a great dinner spot like this in Etters. Would like to see the food be more dependently and always good - but sadly you just can't count on an excellent experience! I keep trying / keep going back , we need the Tavern to succeed and be excellent! read more

This place is a vibe! Great food....great beer selection...great setting....mixed between country, brew pub, and dive bar. They're always running special events, meal specials, and musical performers too. Kitchen open every night to 1 am. Note: I forgot to check if this restaurant had toothpicks. Based on how awesome it is, I assume they do. If not, I'll drop a star after my next visit. read more

Only stopped by few times for lunch hours, wanting to try dinner & eve hours. Enjoyed good food good people good atmosphere every time here. Great place!! read more

Not good, when we had an issue they claimed it was made per their standards and there was nothing wrong. We didn't eat any of it and they only offered 1/2 off the bill, we only ate half the pretzel but we were told we had to pay half of our whole bill. We asked to speak with a manager, now we waited and had to ask another person to get the manager, as it turned out the manager, owner walked past us stood talking to the band setting up, he never knew we wanted him or did he. Yes I got mad but since another customer decided to but in on something they knew nothing about I got even madder. I don't think customers should ever be questioned about a complaint when asked how was your food, and when others don't know what happened from the beginning...bottom line the customer service and food no, not again... read more

This is our "go to" spot locally. The food is consistent, good basic bar foods. Plus a great draft beer selection! Burgers and extra crispy wings were great. Band was playing as well. Love the live music! read more

I ordered the Santa Fe salad supposedly it had avocado in it so I ordered it.. it was good just missing avocado had 2 small slices. Also ordered Mac and cheese ( Kraft Mac with some heavy thick cheese Ontop) Meal was good and the hosts where I picked the meal up was nice, the place itself looks awesome very clean and open till 2am read more

I came with my husband tonight, and it was our first time dining here. Our waitress was awesome. She told us that we would probably be taking our pretzel home with us. I thought she was exaggerating, but she was not kidding! The portions were huge. Best French onion soup I've had in a long time! Great experience! read more
