If you're in or around York, do not sleep on Men in the Kitchen…read more The food was genuinely impressive. I tried the catfish, fried salmon (my first time...so good), collard greens stuffed egg rolls, and the shrimp stuffed with crab...which easily stole the show. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. They also offer a nice variety of sauces, from classic cocktail to a sweet and spicy. Service matched the food. Kay, our waitress, was warm, attentive, and gave great local recommendations. The owner, Kyle, even came out to check on us, which says a lot about how they care for their guests. Overall, a nice experience. If you haven't been yet, go check them out.

2-Star Review - The Men's Kitchen, York PA…read more I recently visited The Men's Kitchen in York, PA, and unfortunately the experience was mixed. Food: The highlight of the meal was the catfish nuggets -- they were truly chef's kiss and the best thing on the table. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The mac & cheese was disappointing. The lamb chops were overcooked; they had flavor on the outside but none on the inside. The greens lacked seasoning altogether. And the Brussels sprouts were the biggest disappointment -- they had no flavor, came in multiple odd colors, and were not enjoyable at all. I would definitely recommend skipping those. Service: Our waitress was polite, but she did not seem knowledgeable about the menu or the food. When I sent the Brussels sprouts back, she returned and informed me that I would still have to pay for them. I was disappointed that the kitchen was not willing to accommodate such a small issue. It was only $8, so I paid it, but the lack of flexibility from the chef was discouraging. Ambiance: The lighting on the tables was very nice and created a pleasant atmosphere. I also enjoyed the wall décor and overall aesthetic of the space. The staff appeared clean and professional. However, the chairs were very hard and uncomfortable, and the floor under our table was dirty. Overall: The restaurant has potential, but improvements are needed. Better seasoning, consistency in the kitchen, and more training for staff on the menu would make a big difference. At this point, it seems like the kitchen could benefit from stronger leadership and customer satisfaction. It was three of us and nobody would go back. My friends had pasta it lacked seasoning as well. The tea was the corner store tea made from tea powder.

The staff is consistently friendly and goes out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. The food is always delicious. My personal favorites are the crab dip, fettuccine Alfredo, and the steak--they're consistently excellent. Portions are generous; I almost always end up taking half my meal home for lunch the next day. They have an impressive selection of drinks if you're in the mood for alcohol, plus plenty of spacious tables and cozy booths. Need a spot for a family gathering, party, or group celebration? They've got a dedicated area for that too. If you're looking for a reliable, enjoyable restaurant, definitely give this place a try--you won't be disappointed!

Hope they continue to thrive since I might like to go again!

Darwin would be displeased with you. As am I, because it's never good to have a tired teacher…read moreresearch any kind of history on her day off. You see, back in 17th century England, private houses would open their homes to the public and sell food and beer. Hence, public house. Over time, they dropped the "lic house" and just called them pubs. Because you never dropped the "lic house" makes me think that you haven't evolved like you should have. And frankly, your food is proof. In fact, it even made me nostalgic. But not in the way you might think. You see, I loved making fun food concoctions when I was a kid. My sister and I would watch this corny show called "Zoom" on Maryland public television, where the kid hosts would make recipes sent in from all over the country. We'd make homemade peanut butter cups using Jif and semisweet chocolate chips. Or weird sandwich combinations like pickles and potato chips and cheese and jelly. The seafood egg rolls weren't the worst part of my meal, but they were definitely sophomoric--as if a kid chef-in-training was asked to whip something up from Chinese food leftovers. Seafood should never taste fishy, yet these did. One bite hit me like something that had been sitting a little too long above the waterline. Not to mention, they were laying on a greasy glob of some mayonnaise accompaniment disguised as a fancy garnish you'd see on MasterChef. One word: Ick. The ahi tacos. Oh boy. My mind fills with seawater the moment I think of them because they tasted as if they had been fished right out of the ocean and then placed on my plate. They were wet. Soaked. Drenched. The gelatinous seaweed clump on each taco wasn't culinary-forward, just unappetizing. I took one bite and wished I could spit it back out, but I reluctantly swallowed it. My esophagus is now aquaphobic thanks to you. The moment the coconut jasmine rice hit my mouth, my tastebuds took the red eye to the coconut tree haven of the Maldives. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the rice and coconut had no cohesion. It tasted like my younger self dumping a handful of shredded coconut--the sweetened kind my mom kept in the pantry for the wool on her Easter-shaped lamb cake--into a cup of microwaveable rice. The only redeeming aspect of our meal was your kind, charismatic waiter. He was lovely in every way--attentive, sweet, and helpful. He would have been an incredible host on "Zoom." If only his personality made the food taste better. For your sake, I hope you learn to evolve your kitchen's offerings beyond the amateurish trio I experienced. If not, your restaurant's bones may end up fossilized alongside every other place that couldn't adapt.

Squeezing 6 teens and 3 children into a corner booth and the rest of us in two adjacent tables.

I don't normally drink alcohol but my husband had the Neon Reef pilsner and then the Subsurface Dark Lager. He wasn't overly impressed with either. As for food, we were both really hungry. He ordered fried calamari and I got a cup of the cream of crab soup. His calamari came out quickly. It was okay, a little overcooked but not horrible with an acceptable marinara sauce. After waiting another 10 minutes with no soup, I managed to get the attention of the server -we were at the bar- and asked if he could please check. He did go promptly to the kitchen and came out 5 minutes later with a cup of BOUILLON based cream of chicken soup that had crab meat added into it. Seriously?! I got a shrimp po'boy and husband got the rockfish & chips platter. The shrimp was pretty good, but the best thing was the coleslaw atop the sandwich. My husband said his rockfish was fishy tasting. As for the service...or lack thereof. We purposely sit at the bar because we believe continually being in the bartender's line of sight gets us better service. I have never seen 2 bartenders actively avoid eye contact the way these 2 did. We had to wave to get their attention, after they walked past an empty beer glass on their side of the bar repeatedly. The one bartender must have known the couple next to us because he chatted only with them almost the entire time we were there only rarely looking up at anyone else. No one asked how our food was, if we needed anything. I thought it was expensive for what it was, over $100 with the tip. I don't mind paying for good food & service but this was well shy of that. Probably won't be returning and I'm really sad about that because we really want to support local businesses
