The restaurant had a very warm comfortable feel. It was dimly lit and the tables were spaced pretty far enough apart that you didn't really notice anyone else.

There were probably 6 different beers on tap, most were average, except for the milk stout which is pretty good.

The service was ok, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about.

I had the top sirloin which was fantastic. It was by far the best steak I've had in a long time. Though at first I thought many of the items on the menu were a bit pricy I thought it was reasonable after experiencing the quality of what I had.

The duck poutine fries was one of the best things I’ve ever had.

Good vibe. Great location and layout.
Tremendous beer selection with a wide variety.
Excellent service as the server added dessert for free due to slower food delivery.
Food quality and options were good but not great.

Great food in an interesting environment. Food is artistic and different, but never pretentious. The beer sampler is ridiculous! My wife says I dont have to drink every one of them, yet I strongly disagree. A great salute to a great town.

Lancaster brewing does an incredible job making consistently great beer and excellent food. Located in an historic turn of the century building, seating is in view of the brewery tanks and a huge patio is also available for outdoor seating.

Didn't eat, just drank. We liked it here - altho' very busy on a Sat. afternoon. The Farmstead ESB was worth the visit. Bought 2 growlers of it to take home. Of course DL always loves their milk stout. PS Don't go to the "Tap Room" - in a weird location in a parking lot of a big shopping center - way better vibe at the brewery which is 15 minutes away.

They are now located at 469 Eisenhower Blvd in Harrisburg. Big restaurant. Food is good and flavorful with good presentation. Service was friendly and attentive. I found the beer to be quite good. In addition to a couple of draughts with dinner, I bought a variety pack to take home and all were very good.

I spent a year and a half in PA. This local brewery was right down the street from my place. Needless to say I probably spent too much time there.

Good ambiance, great bartenders, and good beer on tap. The food is pretty good as well.

If you are ever in the area you should definitely stop in and sample their selection.

Great food and vibe, but the clientele left much to be desired. I had the meatloaf on mashed potatoes with the milk stout gravy and carrots, and it was excellent. The beer was also great.

Stopped here just because I was nearby. The service was very good and the selection was decent too. I had a sampler flight while I was there just looking to try some beers I hadn't seen before. I wouldn't mind stopping back in if I were in the area.
