    Buffalo Chicken Dip
    Allison D.

    I don't know what the reviews aren't higher. Cook ambiance, quick friendly service, and food was good. The menu had a very selection. Beach/Margaritaville atmosphere. The buffalo chicken dip was very good, and steak kabobs were good just wish you could say how you wanted them cooked (came well), and was very accommodating to kids.

    The four of us went to Tobias Frog on a Monday evening. We were seated quickly by the hostess and had a nice outdoor table. I think the outdoor space is nicely done and my son said they show lots of games on the tvs - even soccer. Our soft pretzel was served quickly and within a short time - our entrees arrived. I enjoyed my steamed shrimp and my husband's chicken and fries meal was huge.

    The restaurant vibe is fun and beachy; probably as close to the beach as you will get in Lancaster PA. Would highly recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice! The main courses were ok, not great. When the food got to the table almost all of the fries were cold, my fiancé burger bun was soggy and they got my order wrong so it was sent back. It took a while for my food to come back out, and by then all my dinner guests had finished. I would only go here for drinks & an appetizer. The main courses are certainly not worth it. It's been years since I have last been here & I'm sad to say it seems the quality has gone down a bit from what I remember.

    The best place away from the beach.

    Best place in Lancaster to chill! Beach vibe away from the beach. Staff is super friendly and attentive.

    I love the FL beach vibe, outside & inside! There's plenty of seating - inside in various room, and outside in the shade or the sun. Very vibrant and happy! The food is fantastic! Lobster mac & cheese, tacos, lots of variety of options! Their drinks are good. I was extremely impressed with our server who was very proactive when she found out I'm sensitive to gluten & dairy. When I told her what I'd like to order, she checked with the kitchen and then returned with multiple solutions for how they could make it safe for me. Wow! They have a jukebox that works off an app you can access on your phone - that's fun! Overall, a nice restaurant with a great vibe and excellent staff.

    Delicious experience once again. DJ wasn't as entertaining as the last gentleman. Waitress was attentive. Food cane out hit, as requested and delicious

    Food is average, nothing special. Best thing about the place is being able to enjoy sitting outside. Sat at the bar, ordered a soft drink (which I did get) & the bartender said she'd be back with a menu. 20 minutes later, despite trying to get the other bartender's attention by waving, saying "excuse me ", I finally had to whistle loudly which, of course was very annoying to the bartender. I apologized for having to whistle and explained that the other bartender had forgotten to bring me my menu, and then I have been waiting for quite some time to place an order. At that point the 2nd bartender came back and said "what's up?" to her coworker who then looked at me and said "I don't know, but I just got whistled at. " I (again) tried to explain that I had been attempting to get somebody's attention for quite some time without success. At that point, I could see he was obviously annoyed and I decided it just wasn't worth staying. I end up leaving. I will say that they were extremely busy, which obviously was part of the issue. For some reason, the bartenders were having to run drinks out to other areas around the bar even though there were two servers, standing at the other end of the bar talking with each other about personal issues. I was kind of puzzled as to why they weren't helping the bartenders get drinks out to customers. This isn't the first time the service at this place has been below average. Although they did seem very stressed because of the business of the place, which all of us can understand. Needless to say if you are looking for a place with good service and good food as well as great atmosphere don't look here.

    Fun bar with a nice outside space. Food is fine, service is also fine. Nothing to rave about, but if you're looking for a bar with a decent amount of outdoor seating this works. Hard seltzer on tap, which makes it extra cold adds a star to my thoughts. Most, not all, patrons were carded at the entryway, no noticeable rhyme or reason.

    Visited on 4/8. Four of us sat at the inside and told a few times someone would come. No one ever came to take our dinner order let alone get us a drink. We left. I posted a review to their FB page. Nothing terrible. The owner requested I remove the post. I did so for an associate as Tobias was participating in a benefit as a sponsor. Even exchanging a few private messages, I indicated we would give them another chance. That was good enough. The owner continued to complain about this even to another restaurant, the Union Station. A good business owner would have said, let me know when you come back and I'll comp you each a drink. Instead he complained to everyone about a post. Sorry I hurt your little ego Bill!

They stay true to their name with their decor. They were coffin shaped shelves, gothic/satanic themed wallpaper. It's all very well done. Very unique! One of the staff members came over to tell us that their beer and spirits are all from PA. This was music to our ears! We ordered a local IPA. We shared the Brussels Caesar salad. It had crispy brussels sprouts and arugula. Topped homemade crouton. Dusted with Parmesan. It was delicious! Loved this spot! Will go back the next time we're in town!

The vibe leans goth, with a definite metal/punk edge rather than a tightly curated "theme bar" look. It's not as uniformly designed as the name might suggest, but it is interesting and cohesive enough to feel intentional. During brunch, the space is well-lit, and they keep the heavy metal/thrash/punk soundtrack going at a very low volume, exactly the right choice. It supports the aesthetic without turning brunch into a performance. The food is the reason to come. The menu is built around the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, etc.), and everything we tried was outstanding. Between the two of us we had Lust and Gluttony, and both were excellent, high quality, well-executed, and clearly made with care. Service was solid: efficient, reasonably quick, and professional. Not overly chatty, but attentive enough that you don't feel ignored. Drinks were fine. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were exactly what you'd expect: competent and enjoyable, nothing gimmicky. Logistics are also manageable for a downtown spot. Parking exists in the area, including garages nearby, and it's a comfortable walk if you're already in the city center. Overall: a fun, slightly offbeat atmosphere paired with genuinely great brunch food. If you like a darker aesthetic but still want a bright, relaxed daytime meal, Coffin Bar is an easy recommendation.

When you see the sign for the restaurant outside, you go into the alcove and open the big iron gate and go down the steps. It's really cool down there & it has a nice dark speakeasy vibe. There were groupings of couches and tables. We ended up actually sitting at the bar. They actually had comfortable barstools. I would probably recommend a reservation. We had made a reservation for 5 PM and then decided to sit at the bar instead of a table because they told us that all the couches were reserved... But we were there for well over an hour and there were plenty of couches still available when we left, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The cocktails are pretty pricey going as high as about $19. I had seen online that they had a flight of sparkling wines and before I arrived I was considering that until I realized it was $40. But the cocktails are very well mixed. The food menu I'm sure would not appeal to everyone. It's kind of eclectic and they have some small plates and a few entrées, but it's pretty limited. I would recommend the charcuterie board because you can just pick and choose from the charcuterie menu as to how you want your board created. We were all pleased with the charcuterie board. We would most likely return there for cocktails, but I don't think we would do it as a dinner spot, we ended up going elsewhere to eat our dinner. But I definitely do recommend checking this place out!
