    Front part of restaurant - seating for 30 in the front
    Kendra S.

    We stopped by on Sunday around 12:30. The parking was a bit difficult, but we just waited until someone left (less than 5 minutes) and we took their parking spot. We waited approx 5-10 minutes to be seated by a friendly waitress after she cleared off 3 tables for those waiting. This isn't a fancy place and chairs etc could use some updating. The food was gooood! I enjoyed the French toast sampler. It was our first visit so I love having the sampler so I could try the croissant French toast etc. My husband had the loaded country skillet which he enjoyed. We didn't get any drinks because I am not a fan of Swiss Miss hot chocolate packets, but I actually love tap water and they had good water. When we left at 1pm there were empty tables so I would try to plan a later arrival next time so the parking is easier. Overall, I plan on returning and trying some other things on the menu.

    This location is outside of Lancaster on a back road with decent parking. We went early on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. They don't have gluten free toast. Our breakfast was good and filling. I liked the skillet dish our food was served in, it was a nice touch. The bathrooms were clean which is always a good reflection.

    Excellent breakfast and lunch spot! Cute small town atmosphere away from the city. Their team is very friendly and attentive. Food is amazing and high quality. They offer Rics Bread which is a local bakery. They serve breakfast in skillets which keeps it warm. It's a tiny spot but that's what makes it unique. Can't wait to go back!

    Decent breakfast spot not too far from my house. The food is overall good, not much different than any other restaurants I have been to locally, but still a nice breakfast option. My waitress was very friendly and my food was ready fairly quickly. Parking can be somewhat tricky especially on a weekend.

    The Pantry has a monthly special menu! The strawberry crepe was excellent I wish they would bring it back on the menu. I love the fact that they offer various menu with fruits on top and strawberries are always so fresh. They offer casual dinning style with a plenty of seating and parking. Service is quick and friendly. I can't wait to see next month special.

    Delicious meal! Everything here was flavorful and the prices weren't so bad either. The only thing that lacked was the wait was awhile before we saw a server. I think the place could use more pizazz when it comes to decor. Other than that if you're in the area looking for a good home style breakfast it was good.

    Yummo! Found this little gem on our trip to watch a show at the Sight & Sound Theater in Lancaster, PA! COVID friendly, meaning obeying safety protocols. Very pleasant service, food delivered timely. Pumpkin Pancakes and Croissant French Toast were excellent! Great menu options, we wanted to order so many items!! Great place! Thank you!!

    Indoor seating? Yelp says takeout only but that was from last year. Thanks

    Yes they definitely are doing inside seating now. They need to change that because they are doing indoor and outdoor seating as well as takeout and curbside online ordering. ;)

We came across blue-collar restaurant, but when we pulled in, I was surprised to see it was located inside a golf country club. I almost turned around, but my daughter encouraged us to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant was beautiful inside, with a peaceful view overlooking the golf course that made for a really relaxing lunch. The food was excellent. I ordered the salmon with vegetable risotto special, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the service. My daughter is nursing, and my granddaughter has soy and dairy allergies, so we had to be very careful with her meal. Our waiter, Matt, was outstanding. He went above and beyond, checking with the kitchen multiple times to make sure everything was completely free of soy and dairy. He helped put together a custom salad bowl for her, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, we had such a lovely experience--from the food to the atmosphere to the attentive service.

    Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

    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!

When we were seated, we were given the prix fixe food menu but never provided with a drink menu. We were served water, but our waitress didn't ask if we'd like cocktails, wine, or any featured Valentine's drinks. For a special occasion dinner, that felt like a major oversight. The bigger issue, though, was the food. Several courses were noticeably undercooked and difficult to enjoy. The carrot salad had hard, undercooked carrots and a very bitter sauce that overwhelmed the dish. The grilled Badger Flame beets were also undercooked and had an unpleasant flavor. The beet risotto was firm and lacked the creamy consistency you expect from a properly prepared risotto. The halibut tasted overly fishy and seemed undercooked in the center. For $75 per person on Valentine's Day, we expected a polished, thoughtfully executed experience. Instead, the meal felt poorly prepared and not worth the price. It was an unsatisfying way to spend what should have been a special evening. The ambiance was very nice but the rest of the experience left a lot to be desired.

For how busy they were, the server was very attentive and very accommodating as we were yapping away and constantly not ready with our orders so kuddos for the team and putting up with us! I love the mystery beer concept, its not great beer, but being from DC at like $2 a can, I am not passing that up, ever. And a cheap beer with a burger is the perfect combo! On to the burger... I have heard that this is a great burger... and I have to conclude that I agree though it is reminiscent of a Big Mac - just way better ingredients - it has to be the sauce they put on it... Anyway, nice size patty, good amount of toppings and a quality bun (not too soft, not too thick, bread soaks up some of the juices but doesn't fall apart). The mussels were quite excellent as well. It was a Thai curry broth the night we were there and it was drinkable, like soup... we did ask for extra bread... enough said. I am going to take a minute too and praise their spirit free cocktails. THIS IS HOW THEY SHOULD BE MADE. They used bitters, tonics, etc to craft something that tasted like a cocktail but without alcohol which means they were not sickly sugary concoctions, but expertly crafted beverages. Just really great options. All that said though, their espresso martini was one of the worst I have had. Just skip that.
