Honestly, I hate to write this but I feel it’s necessary. My girlfriend and I just moved to Chambersburg from SE Michigan a few weeks ago and have been exploring local breweries, brew houses and eateries. Walking in tonight we had some high hopes. The atmosphere seemed good, the place seemed clean and when we sat at the bar the younger guy behind the bar mentioned he could slide our first beers in at happy hour pricing (it was right about 5pm).
Ok so that was a good start as he also offered food menus as we were planning on ordering a few shareables for dinner. He promptly brought our beers and a few minutes later took our food order.
This is where it all went south. Our food (well half of our food) came out and was set in front of us. I asked for silverware and two small plates and was quickly supplied with them. That was literally the end of our service. The bartender never made eye contact again. Never asked how our food was, if we needed drinks as our glasses sat empty for twenty minutes, nothing. He literally washed glasses in front of where we sat at the bar, grabbed drinks for at least five other people that had sat down at the bar during this time but never asked if we needed anything. Like I said, zero eye contact. This whole time we were wondering if we would be seeing the other part of our food order but we never did. Finally after sitting and hoping we’d be appreciated as customers I asked for the bill. Very very disappointing how this place isn’t embracing service more. As a bar customer the last thing I’m going to do is wave down my bartender when there is literally open seats to each side of me and it’s not busy. We will not be back. It’s very unfortunate.

Beer was pretty good, and they had a good food menu.

Fantastic locally owned pub! The Carolina wings are excellent! Got the Phat Rim and that was very good too!

Great place and friendly staff. Love the live music. The Quesadillas and wings are delicious!

Service was wonderful. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Limited menu, typical brew food. Only one dessert offering that we could see. The cheese steak tacos were a little heavy on the balsamic and a little too done. Overall a good experience.

Food is great, staff is always super friendly. We go for wing nights and their brunches. Beer & mimosa flights never disappoint! Even when the place is packed and service is held up, they hold it together in there. Atmosphere is relaxed, music is far better than the normal that gets played in this area.

After being a fan of the old Maxies, I've given this place a try a few times since then. I can say that their food is fine. The atmosphere is fun and the waitstaff try so hard to get an impossible job done. However, I've been there for brunch several times and the wait for basic brunch food is well over an hour. That's... just nuts. To those of us who have been in the food service industry, it really speaks to the kitchen manager. It's brunch... easy food. As I said, the waitstaff really is wonderful but the food is only so-so and the beer is nothing to speak of. A MUCH better brunch can be found about 30 minutes up 81 especially when wait times for a table are often an hour and you get meh food. (PS Why do Ship restaurants suffer so badly??)
