On Saturday night we went with another family to Brick and Brew. First thing you will notice is the wonderful setting. Although we were in the main dining room, there is outdoor deck seating too. Great Crab Dip, Pretzels, Mac-n-Cheese, Chicken Sandwich, and tasty Burgers. Will come back and sit outside this Fall. Special service and different people checked in on us during our dining experience.

They've changed the menu - sadly removed one of my favorites in eliminating their smoker and BBQ products, but they've added in some new things that keeps us coming back. They are a friendly bunch, seem to attract a blend of sports enthusiasts (lots of TVs with sports) and general diners. Groups seem to gravitate here quite frequently and they are well setup for it. I did a review a year ago and mentioned the bar could sometimes get a smell from the mats, but they've fixed that issue so someone is paying attention and doing their best to take in feedback. If you've never been, give a try!

With the warm ambience of a classic Irish pub and a menu made using the freshest and best ingredients, Wegmans' Pubs have become a popular dining destination.

Great food, my husband would surely grocery shop with me, if I promised him a visit to The Pub! Great happy hour food and prices, nice atmosphere. The Buffalo shrimp was delicious!

We visited Twenty9 again and it was not nearly as nice as on our 1st visit. Looking at a prior review, I see that I repeated the drink "Mule this over", this time it tasty OK; however, it was extremely light on the inclusion of alcohol! We also repeated the PA Mushroom Flatbread. It was a major disappointment! I doubt there were a dozen thin slices of mushroom on the entire Flatbread! The goat cheese must have been thinned with water & painted on. The Sicilian Lemon Garlic Rosemary wings were rather tasty. For the main entrée we both tried Red wine Braised Short Ribs (Roasted Garlic Mash + wild mushrooms + red wine jus). The meat was tender and overall the dish was good. However, it was not special. Too bland & the red wine jus seemed to have been forgotten. The staff were very friendly so I feel terrible writing an unflattering review. However, we were both disappointed.

At the recommendation of our hotel front desk agent, my family and I visited McKenzie's for dinner a few Saturday's ago. My son was extremely hungry and our waitress, Julianna, was kind enough to process his order first so he didn't have to wait as long. My husband ordered a roast beef sandwich and cheese curds, while I ordered grilled chicken sandwich and fries. Both my husband and son enjoyed their meals, unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for mine. Had I known the provolone cheese was sharp, I wouldn't have ordered it. The strong smell made it unbearable to eat, even after scraping it off the chicken and roll. It wouldn't be my first choice to visit again from a menu standpoint, but the atmosphere and service were great.

Had lunch there with a new acquaintance. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were seated in the glass front portion of the restaurant. I had the chicken and andouille sausage gumbo with a turkey club on toasted wheat with the homemade chips. The soup was good. It had a little zing to it but not too bad. The club sandwich was huge. Lots of meat, a thick slice of tomato, lettuce and thick bacon on thick pieces of wheat toast. It was too big for me to finish and I had to take it home. Nice place for lunch.

Found T.J.'s on a restaurant search after my earlier experience at another "sports bar" in the area. A couple of miles further, but worth a try. Found them fairly easily, they are off of Lancaster road in a shopping area, so don't drive past it! Parking is a bit of a challenge during peak periods, as is seating (only been on the bar side, may need to check the "table side". ) Anyway, the hostess got me to a hightop table near the bar, place about 85-90% full. (Again, only saw the bar side) Took several minutes for the server to get to me, but not because he wasn't working, he was crazy busy, the only server I saw that wasn't behind the bar.I think they need more staff and the place is so small there isn't room for too many more servers to get in and out of the kitchen... Anyway, I ordered a drink and the banging shrimp. Again, a significant wait for the drink as he is covering everyone... got my drink with the ice about half melted, still since it was bourbon on the rocks and I didn't think I would get the next one any faster, I wasn't sending it back! About 10-15 minutes later, the banging shrimp came out and I was pleasantly surprised at large shrimp cooked perfectly, with a very light "dusting" type breading with an excellent seasoned aioli with thinly sliced almonds and cilantro garnish. A very delicious take on the "spicy shrimp" appetizer that everyone has now.... So, I liked the appetizer well enough that I decided to stay with the theme. So I asked about the shrimp and dandan noodles, the server told me it was the most popular dish in the restaurant, so I gave it a shot... Well, now I know why it is so popular. Again the perfectly prepared shrimp in a smoked paprika based spice palette with a delightful Asian noodle and an excellent mix of seasoning and garnishes, with plenty of spicy broth. By the way, I wasn't thrilled about the idea of the Brussels leafs but never even tasted them, so no worries! I have been here 3 times in as many weeks and have had this same meal each time. One of these days, I will try some of the other menu choices... but maybe not...The food gets 5 stars. The parking, seating and waiting gets maybe 3 stars. But, I suppose since I go once a week, it must be worth it...

Excellent bar food, quick, friendly service, and a very good selection of beers. We had an excellent lunch there on a Saturday afternoon with the family and everyone enjoyed their selection. The Texas Tommy with fries was great for the kids. The portion was a good size and more than the smaller kids could handle. We will return.

Second location of Wayne's popular Family Friendly Restaurant with a Great Bar! Opened in June of 2014. Same Great Menu and Friendly Service!!
Reviewed By Daniel K
We've driven by many times and finally decided to stop by. When you enter, you see a comfortable bar area to the right and tables for seating to the left. They have managed a modern yet casual atmosphere good for all types. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We got lucky as it was Wednesday and select wines were half price for members so we signed up on the spot. The menu was interesting and straightforward full of classic american favorites like Meatloaf, Pulled Pork, Chicken Marsala as well as Burgers, and Brick Oven Pizzas.The quality of the food was very good and we enjoyed our Cesar Salads, Meatloaf and Tacos.We left happy diners and will certainly return.

My wife and I have dinner here every couple of weeks. Food is great. Our most frequent dinner choices are, Cobb Salad and Wedge Salad with grilled shrimp.When not having a salad we also enjoy, the Chicken Cheese Steak and the Western Burger. We've tried many other dishes as well. All consistently good!The key to their success is their consistency and good service. Our favorite neighborhood spot!One word of caution: On January 1st the ownership changed hands. Hopefully they will still retain the same menu, waitstaff, and consistein quality.
