“We went here for St Patty's and it was perfect. Our table was in the room with the Irish band. Perfect seats. My wife and I both had Irish dishes which were occasion perfect. Our server was amazing. I went to Red Lobster on Friday night and the service was terrible, so our server stood out for his attentiveness. I couldn't imagine a better place to spend St. Pattys.“
“Be very careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers (which can happen with any tavern along the river). In December, about 10 days before we went here, they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. The guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders, great service ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. I mean it was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved with escorting the POS to the curb. The owner needs to hire some aggressive enforcement right now to get a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere on a weekend. I hope things change here, they need to exercise a heavy hand. It's a nice place, but the trash has to be dealt with and kept out.“
“I've eaten here since before it was bought and transformed and let me tell you, they did an excellent job making this place look gorgeous!! I haven't had bad food there yet and the same goes for drinks. It's a little pricey, but a very nice place and worth the money. I highly recommend it!“
“This place is super adorable!! I came with a small appetite, so I ordered the French Onion Soup. The broth was delicious. However, there were so many croutons in the soup that it was hard to really enjoy it. The cheese on top, while delicious, was so thick that it was hard to eat/incorporate with the soup. I realize that may be some folks' cup of tea. I like a simpler, myself. The calamari was delicious, and my husband LOVED his fish and chips. The table was very sticky, but other than that, the place was darling.Parking: There are few spaces right next to the restaurant. There's a large overflow parking area behind the building that offers a nice walk over a stream.“
“This restaurant is located on the shores of the Susquehanna River. The views are awesome!!! We eat in the full service restaurant. My shrimp and grits were out of this world crazy good. Our service was attentive and they accommodated our desire to eat a slow paced dinner. There is a bar with live music and an outdoor bar with a casual menu... The pizza looked great. I will return here again.“
“Great meal in a relaxed, historically preserved building. The pork shank was beautifully presented and tasty served with basic french fries. The Chilean sea bass was perfectly co I ked served with a sweet sauce over garlic mash potatoes. The house pesto vingarette served with the salad was remarkable. Devon was attentive and pleasant.“
“Everything I've tried has been delicious and fresh. The only exception would be the steak. I've tried several dishes with steak (tortellini, tacos) and often the steak is chewy where you have to spit it out because you cant chew it.“
“From their creative menu to their top tier ingredients, Black Gryphon is a must visit spot for any locals AND out of towner’s. Their fantastic “Chocolate Hot” is extremely noteworthy. From the several dishes I’ve tried, each one has been a home run. Be sure to get your burger “Super Saiyan Style”! Beautiful spot/people, will be back!“
“We stopped here by chance after a concert at the American Music Center in Lancaster . At first glance from outside, it just looked like a bar, not seedy, but maybe questionable. Once inside, you felt at home , a nice little neighborhood bar. The food was good and the service was ok and the prices were reasonable. I definitely would stop back in if I was in the area.“
“The store clerk was very kind ✨I wonder if it's Jimoti's popular restaurant, and it's full by 7pm...What will happen to my last supper in America? Just as I was thinking that, I was guided to the second floor.I wish I had followed my father's advice that ``pasta is recommended''...The pasta was drowning in the thick soup, and the alcohol went on and on as I ate the thick, sticky soup. I ended up drinking a lot of alcohol with the pasta I was given!Mom's main dish is steak salad. picture? Will salad be the main thing? →There was a very large piece of meat sitting on top of the salad.I'm a hamburger!was delicious! But I want to try more things... I can't eat them all...Let me bring you again!“
“This is one of our regular breakfast location spots. Bring a jacket, especially on cold days because there seems no way to avoid the draft. Also, don't sit near the bar door because sometimes you smell smoke wafting in which is unpleasant. All of this said the wait staff is friendly and prompt. The menus are on the table. Sometimes the specials are fantastic but I'm a huge fan of their unique omelet menu. Huge fan of their taco omelet, which is just what it sounds like.“
“This is a delightfully friendly establishment. The decor is kitschy and the food is delish. There's a huge menu with every imaginable Mex and Tex-Mex dish and a tableside guacamole cart. Service is quick and the prices can't be beat.Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant knows how to treat kids.“
“We were a group of 15 and reserved at 6 pm. The waitress was the only one working the dining room on a Sunday night and she was amazing! She kept up with our drinks and food and took care of all the other tables too! The food was delicious also! Highly recommend!“
“If you live near Columbia or Mount Joy, PA you should have heard of this place already. Good food and atmosphere. Recommended ?I personally get the prime rib. I have tried other menu items and am never disappointed.Parking: Right next to the creek which doesn't flood often (since about 2012.)“
“This was our first time here after having lots of recommendations to go. When you walk in you seat yourself our waitress came over almost immediately with menus. Didn't take pictures but for drinks we had White Peach Crush, Punch Bowl Crush, and a Reeds Apple Ale.“
“Fabulous food. Excellent seafood. I enjoyed the Eastern Seafood Trifecta. Broiled shrip, Nantucket scallops and crab cake. Juicy and very good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Good drinks and peanut butter pie for dessert.Wheelchair accessibility: Good ramp on side“
“I have been coming here regularly since they opened, so have probably been here 25+ times. Their brews are good as well as their panini sandwiches, sliders and small bites such as cheeses. The Gouda cheese tray is pictured. I guess I ate my sliders too quickly to take any this time. They use all locally sourced ingredients, which is a plus. They used to have music here a lot, but it seems in recent years the owners may be focusing more on their expanded locations to Lancaster and ironspire. They have added to the rear area of their brewery recently as well as added additional outdoor seating for warmer weather. When it’s nice, I like sitting outside here, although that may invite some Columbia characters to stop for unwanted chats, so be aware of that.“
“The Tourist Inn can definitely be described as a "dive bar". But don't let that description undersell the amazing food, staff and owner of this facility. Over the years, I have come to find that the owner is such a wonderful woman. She also hires a great staff! Particularly Lacey and Amanda. The food is also very good, but unfortunately takes a while to be made. However, it is no problem to wait while doing one of their many games throughout the week! Trivia Night, Live Bands, BINGO, you name it!“
“We had a large party here to celebrate my cousin and wife who came from England to visit and also celebrated my dad’s 94th birthday. We had all ages from 1 yo to 94 and the staff were helpful, gracious and very accommodating. The food was delicious! I especially loved the sweet potato fries to dip in maple syrup!“
“I had a small gathering here for my sons first birthday and it was amazing, from being greeted at the door to getting our food packed up to leave was an amazing experience. The service was amazing, the food to die for and (my favorite part) the welcomeness to it. You can definitely tell this is a REAL family establishment, thank you, there’s not many of you guys left“
“EJ was a great server! We never had to ask for refills, we got exactly what we ordered and we didn’t have to wait for extra napkins when we asked. This kind of service goes a long way for a big family. If you like Chilis and live on the West side of town, just make the drive across town to this location. It is 100 times better than the west York location!“
“Nice dive bar, with some cheap drinks. Check out their daily specials for the best deal! Sara is a nice bar tender and quick with the drinks. HEADS UP ITS CASH ONLY but they have an atm on sight. The cuban pretzel paniini was unexpectedly good. Hit this place up for a cold beverage“
“We stopped in here on St. Patrick’s Day for drinks. I have been here before, but they have somewhat limited hours, so I just try to stop in if I happen to be in the area and see they are open. This place has a beautiful historic atmosphere indoor, a very nice little patio, good prices, and good vibes.“
