This is our favorite neighborhood pub. The service is excellent and the bartenders make you feel at home. Highly recommend getting their chicken parm in a wrap or their grilled cheese burger. And don’t sleep on their salads, their greens are always fresh and delicious! Chip is so welcoming, we always feel like we are going to hang out with a friend when we dine there.

Been to the one on Old Hickory several times. First time I've ever been to the original. Nice place, casual atmosphere. Good service and drinks.

10/03/2025 update: Had a few opportunities to go to the Lancaster location and the food and staff had been nothing short of spectacular. Bartenders are always quick with service and friendly. Just what you want a bar to be.

Been there many times. Always great food and service. The outside area is really nice and there is always a game on to watch. What is really nice is the owner frequently comes around to see how you are doing. You know a place is going to be good if the owner cares. Try to get that with a big chain restaurant!

I ordered lunch to go... A Buffalo Chic salad. It was very big, fresh and delicious! Thanks you Stubby's for your consistently good food and service!

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!

A local recommended this place in large part because we could sit outside. The atmosphere was pretty good but the food was only typical bar food quality. My partner and I each ordered chicken quesadilla which were cooked well but lacked flavor. More vegetables might have helped. (?) You can get this type and quality of food pretty much anywhere.

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.
