We were only visiting, but we will be back whenever we are in town. The staff was great, the food was good, and we felt very welcome. I was a bit jealous of our local friend who the waitress knew his order already!

Disappointed on so many levels. Pleased on one. I read the reviews and the food simply did not measure up to the reviews. We've been in lancaster county for 7 years and this is a constant theme. People here seem to rate places a 4 simply if a meal of any quality was delivered? We came in at 930 on a Saturday night for food and drink. We walked in and took two open seats at the bar. There are wait people who are hired for looks and those who are hired for ability. We got one of each and the young looker took a full five minutes to even scan the room let alone recognize we were there while the able server was working the back. Most everything about the young one had a kind of slow myopia about it: she simply did not have the door and room awareness i expected of my fellow servers when i was in the industry. We got drinks and menus in a clean neat bar environ and watched the Phil's for a bit. Kim ordered a west coast cheese steak with fries and I ordered nine wings with a mix of Cajun and medium flavoring and a basket of onion rings. 10 minutes later, the older server came up front, engaged us with personality and offered to refresh my drink which she pleasantly did. 10 minutes later food arrived with the older server. There are lots of schools of thought in the chicken wing realm: some places just deep fry them and some use par baking with seasoning followed by a quick fry to heat them up followed by some sauce and some use baking the whole way. Stubby used pure frying. The oil was too hot (blistering) and the wings were in for too long. The result was wings with knots of meat near the ends that were simply undigestible rocks with dry strands of sinew in between the ends. The kicker is the sauce was freaking marvelous. My onion ring suffered the same fate arriving brown instead of something resembling an unburnt golden breading. They were so tough the granules of breading wore away at the roof of my mouth and cheeks. The coating was so hard no amount of chili ranch sauce could soak into them. Wing sauce gets an A PLUS.
Chili ranch gets an A. wings and onion rings are a solid fail. Kim enjoyed her sauv blanc , the cheese steak was average, and the fries were the same. . I don't know if we hit a bad night or not but I am guessing we will not return for food.

Wings are fabulous!!!! Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside juicy on the inside, had them mix the cajun with the medium hot sauce as suggested by another reviewer and it was delicious!! Wife had the house salad which looked really tasty. Presentation on the salad was gorgeous. Hillary the bartender was attentive and cheerful!! Definitely worth going back for their much talked about cheesesteak!!!

We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—it felt like eating at home. I had a Philly cheesesteak (so flavorful and generously filled with meat), and my husband had a burger that was also amazing. The beef was great quality, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the pickles were just divine. Everything was fresh and super tasty. The service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Staff is fantastic
Town bar feel. It seemed like there were a lot of locals. My husband and I ordered cheesesteak, a wrap, wings, and drinks. We enjoyed everything. The wings, especially, we ordered wings for take-out the next night. We loved the flavor and crisp of the wings.
Poregies were delicious and very tasty. Food came out quick and hot
I wouldn't expect pizza at a bar to be great, but Stubby's is easily as good as an actual pizza shop. I also love their French onion soup, but frankly everything on the menu is great. Parking can be a pain, but that's ok because I live close enough to walk anyway.
Great food and atmosphere. Perogies are absolutely 💣 delicious
