Appalachian Brewing Co. Mechanicsburg

Turned away without having a reservation. But nothing posted that a reservation was recommended or required.

We had a terrible experience here with our family of six. It took over THIRTY minutes to receive all of our meals, the last being a kid’s chicken tenders with fries. We received HALF of an overcooked tender and half the portion of fries. When I complained the server stated ‘I yelled at the kitchen for that’ but made no effort to correct it until I directly asked for a proper portion of food to be sent to our table. I have NEVER complained about a kid’s meal before. They were also supposed to come with crackers and cheese prior to the meal which none of our kids received. I can guarantee we will never eat at this restaurant with our family again. For $100 we can get far better service and quality elsewhere in the area.

First time in this location. Liked the varied seating options and open layout, especially because it was quiet enough for us to hear each other.

Food was delicious. Lamb burger was very flavorful, well cooked, and juicy. Pineapple chicken salad was also delicious. Brewed root beer was tasty. Only negative was the sweet potato fries - they were dry, over cooked, and hard to chew. We sent them back and got the house potato chips which were delicious.

Emma our server was fantastic - personable, attentive, and delightful.

Recommend.

I enjoy stopping in for lunch when I'm in the area. A lot of beer selections and a variety styles on tap. And their burgers are tasty.

Highly recommend coming here. Great selection of food and drinks even with me being a bit picky on drinks, they won me over! Service is absolutely amazing each time. We have come here for date night and also had a military promotion celebration here. Jenn was wonderful at coordinating everything and was very patient and understanding even after we changed things for the event a few times. Adam was an awesome bartender and took care of us during our event. We highly recommend booking your events here. Between the few times we always had a blast and we will definitely be back again! Thank you Appalachian Brewing Co.!

Sat and waited for twenty minutes, we were given menus and then forgotten about. Another party arrives after us and is immediately sat and served by a waiter. Bar staff stand around just looking around or watching tv.

The appetizer (Bavarian Pretzel) was great. All other food was mediocre at best. Not bad, not good, just food. A bit pricey for the portions and definitely overpriced for the taste. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Front of house was great, it's the kitchen that needs help.

Used to love this place but stopped going when they messed up our orders a bunch of times. One time I ordered a burger medium well and it came out still super bloody, so we took an obviously break. Went back tonight and figured we would give it another go because it used to be our favorite spot in the area, but the service and food was just sub par. It took us over an hour and a half to get or food, the drinks were much smaller and seemed like they were watered down, the beer was flat, and they got my order wrong once again, but I did not say anything because at that point we just wanted to eat and get out of there. The quality just seems to have gone down a lot and paying was also very awkward. There is no physical check, our server just came out and handed us a device to insert our card on the spot with no time to review the bill. It was super awkward. There was also no option to customize a tip. All in all, just not a good experience and we won’t be back, this was the nail in the coffin. It didn’t really seem like the staff (besides the sweet girl delivering the food to the tables), really cared about or experience or our meal quantity.

Harvest Hosted here on our way back to Canada. What a fabulous spot. Ordered orginal harrisburgers perfectly cooked. Fries were fantastic. Beers were great also. Noblest applecrisp sour is something to talk about. Austin was our server and he was very attentive and made our experience possibly the best we had on our vacation. Thanks Austin

The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, we had the Cheesesteak eggrolls and the mango pork tacos. YUMMY! We also had a couple of draft beers which were also great.
