I called to ask him to check on my Father-in-law that stays down there because he wasn't answering and i was really worried about him.He went down and checked on him and responded within five minutes. I highly recommend this campsite.“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and food!“

“We are from out of town and found this local bar/restaurant online. The service was wonderful, the servers truly care about taking care of the customers, great drinks and the atmosphere of the restaurant is fun and welcoming. Would definitely be our go to spot if we lived here!“

“We were looking for a good place to eat an early dinner on our way home from a trip to the Wilds, and decided to stop here. It looks like the usual hole in the wall from outside, but the food is excellent and the service was great too. I had a taco pizza and my husband had a sausage omelet with a biscuit and gravy on the side. Breakfast for dinner is always a treat, and the gravy was definitely homemade and very, very good! Taco pizza was delicious also. Vibe was chill and a band was playing outside. Would absolutely stop here any time we are in the area.“

“I hate that it's always an hour wait to get a table.. and let's be honest, it's so much better fresh than Togo. The food keeps us coming back, despite the long wait (although sometimes we bail and go to that *other* wing place and get disappointed)“

“My second time here tonight. I met Bob and his daughter Jennifer. Also met some locals who were FANTASTIC and it's a guarantee I'll be back. I wish this was a local bar for me. Until the next time I'm back, thanks to every single one of y'all. You were amazing. I'll be back as soon as I can. MMMUUUUAAAHHHH! Love you guys. Thanks for a killer memory :) This is my new home away from home.“

“I got fried shrimp..fried oysters s and coleslaw..everything was awesome..“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem by the Water! Beach House Pub is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve been to in a long time. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of laid-back beach vibes and cozy neighborhood charm. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive — they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The food? Outstanding. I had the fish tacos and they were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great selection of craft beers and cocktails too — the kind of menu that keeps you coming back to try something new each time. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or meet up with friends for a casual night out, Beach House Pub nails it. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area — this place is a must-visit“

“Ribs were hot and delicious, smothered chicken was cold and dry. peighton the waitress wasn't impressive. She didn't bring our appetizer until after our meal arrived. She checked on the table next to ours 3 times and refilled their drinks before she got to ours. No veterans discount even though I wore a vet hat and Army polo shirt. poor. just poor this time. usually very good.“

“Emmerson our server was fantastic! You all should clone her!“

“Not sure if they got new staff, but service and food was great today! Our waitress, Dawn, was outstanding. She helped us along with others tables when they needed help and the front register. She was professional, sweet and checked all the food before bringing it out to customers. She’s definitely management material in our eyes!“

“Extremely funny waitress Christiana. You can't train her personality. Very pleasing and enjoyable. Will visit again.“

“I came in with my family for a birthday dinner tonight. The staff were very friendly, you can tell it's a close knit community with the regulars. I ordered a burger with tots, the tots are definitely better than the fries. The burger was cooked exactly how I wanted it. Our server also came out with a piece of cake on the house which I thought was really sweet!“

“Me and my girlfriend went here when we were spending the day together and it was legitimately the best food ever we've had in Lancaster ever. The ambience is amazing, the server (Jen) and the chef (Jeanie) were absolutely amazing everything is just 5 stars. The chicken parm, spicy lamb gyro, spinach feta dip, salad and soups were absolutely amazing! 10/10 can't wait to come back!“
