Challenger Tap House

While they have a larger than average tap list, there's really nothing special or stand out. Its pretty typical offerings from macro brewers, and few locals from the breweries down the street. Food options are common gastro/bar fare. I ordered a chicken sandwich with tots. The tots were a little undercooked and the tomato was thicker than the chicken. Might as well have called it a veggie sandwich with a sliced chicken patty. Needless to say, I won't be back.

Every single dish has been great and much better than chain bar restaurants. Do yourself a favor and skip the fries… order the delicious crispy tots instead. Alfredo steak Pasta was tasty and huge, pastrami burger is juicy and huge, and the Mac and cheese is the best I’ve yet to try! Cider beer is available in 2 sweet flavors. Pizza cookie type dessert is really good too. Worth a visit!

This is a hidden gem. Didn't even know this was here until a friend took me there for lunch. From the outside, it just looks random. But when I walked in, I was impressed. It's a nice, cozy, clean restaurant and bar. We sat down right away, and we were greeted. We ordered and waited. When I food came it looked so good. We finally digged in, and I was impressed. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. It was so creamy and tasty. The plate looked small, but I couldn't finish it all. Of course, I took the leftovers home and had it for dinner. It reheated really well. Still delicious. I'm going to go back for sure.

Best bar restaurant in Lancaster clean the waiters are so nice and professional food is freaking amazing you guys all need to try this place 1000/10 👏🏼

The service was super friend and the food was decent. They show the football games on Sunday, so that's pretty cool. Would definitely go back. Nice beer selection.

I really like this place. I've eaten here a few times. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. Highly recommend their house made hummus! The pita chips are unique in that they are fried to serve. Crispy yet soft in the inside. I also tried the Ortega burger with a chipotle aioli. Very good but if I am giving an honest review, I ordered the burger medium and it was served well. Also I don't think the burger needed additional fat/grease and the bun looked like it was brushed with butter or fat (likely for the aesthetics but it wasn't needed). Very juicy nonetheless.

Food and drinks were awesome! The service was even better! Relaxing atmosphere during lunch hours and a different sport on the televisions for those sports junkies out there.

THIS PLACE DESERVES 10 STARS 🌟 I DONT DRINK BUT EVERY TIME I EAT HERE THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS. FOR A TAP HOUSE IN LANCASTER. THE BEER CHEESE BURGER IS SO DAM GOOD I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TRY IT. SAME FOR THE BACON JAM BURGER AND THE GARLIC CHEESE CURDS. AMAZING. WORTH THE TRIP IF YOU LIVE OUT OF TOWN.

First timer here with my sister, out of town from Ventura and we're so happy we stumbled upon this gem! Thank you to Sam for making our experience comfortable and giving us recommendations because we could not decide, everything seemed good! Can't wait to be back..thanks again for the awesome service, food and vibes!!! Also for making my sister a hangover cure it, helped her out a lot haha

We like to get this food to go cause we live close and the food is always so delicious. The cheese curds are my favorite and the entrees always kill it. Kudos to the chefs!!

So I did not want to write this review, but I had to it shows consistency. I've been to this restaurant before, and my daughter said that she was going to it again, and I remembered that they had southwestern eggrolls, and I asked her to give me some cause I've been really craving southwestern eggrolls and the last time I was here they made them excellent. Well, let me tell you now. The only good thing about it was the sauce. They were terribly overcooked greasy and just plain nasty. I can't believe that they sent this out like this. I'm very disappointed, but I'm not shocked. It's hard to get good help these days. I hope the next time I go and I order southwestern egg rolls they don't look like this, but the sauce is good.

Alex was our server and she was amazing! She always is so sweet. The beer is delicious, poured by the amazing bartender Miranda. I highly recommend the garlic Parmesan wings. It's very clean on the inside.

Not overly happy with the order. Kabobs were dry, didn't come with rice pilaf- I don't know what kind of rice this is but it's not pilaf, , sloppy presentation on the sides.

Alex is always a great server. Busy yet our service was great . Atmosphere-awesome. Food is unique and it's far above bar food!

the food was great, a little salty, but overall the service and the ambiance makes up for it. not overly priced either. definitely recommend the bacon jam burger. they cooked it perfectly.

The customer service was great! The server was very attentive despite being the only server on the floor. The food was delicious! We tried the wings and they were fully cooked and crispy. The burger was made perfectly as I asked for it well done. Per my husband the beer was perfect temperature ice cold! Plenty of televisions to watch games the ambiance was good.

I've ordered there many times now and the food is outstanding!! Reasonable and great service! The steak and mushroom with angel hair is my favorite dish! The pasta is cooked just right, as an Italian that is extremely important, great flavor and the sauce!! Delicious! Read some reviews, I don't hand out compliments unless they are deserved. They deserve it!

We stopped here on the way from Palm Springs to Fresno hoping for a good meal and to catch some NFL games. The decor in the place, including even the men's bathroom was really nice. The bar and dining area was open and roomy and they had every single NFL game playing on their 10 plus TV's. The server came out quickly and asked us about drinks and food. The beer cheese sliders were very good and you can't ever go wrong with tater tots. Also good were the Buffalo chicken fries. The southwestern chicken egg rolls were awesome and reminded me of a higher end version of what you can get at Chili's. All in all, the place was great and we were able to get fed and back on the road in under 40 minutes.

great restaurant & bar i went with my parents & children this past sunday afternoon & we really enjoyed the food . the place was pretty spacious & clean . the service was fast & consistently on point . the food was delightfully & delicious. i would love to go back and try some more items !!! my dad love that he was able to sample the beer before he actually got the drink . they have a huge beer selection if your into beer . overall everything was a 10/10 including the bathroom lol

Don't judge a book by its cover. This little bar is friendly, cold beer. Plenty of tap choice. The food is good. And the service is awesome.

The food is delicious. The service is great.. Very friendly. Very relaxing to just hang out with friends and watch sports. Lots of sitting inside. And is kid friendly, they even have a kids menu. And they also have NFL food specials. Which is great. They are getting ready to start servicing breakfast soon. The restaurant is under new management and I'm very impressed.. I highly recommend this place.. My husband said nothing better to have a Bloody Mary with Breakfast.

Miranda best AV bartender/server. Very attentive , respectful, prompt, friendly and very beautiful.

This place has been on my radar for a while...I wont be back. Had the pretzel and cheese that I admit was very good. The cheese had the perfect amount of spice to it and the pretzel was perfectly cooked. Now on to the meal...ehhh.... The putine was not your average putine. This putine had an au jus NOT gravy like normal putine. Decided to add duck which I thought it was going to be shredded duck not cubed cut up duck. The fries were soggy cause of the au jus unlike gravy which doesn't make it soggy. I asked for scrambled eggs and they gave me a fried egg. The wings were big but overly over cooked and they admitted they cook them twice or three times. The bread pudding as you can see was also over cooked and burnt. You could actually taste the char. So I asked for another piece NOT burnt. I will not be coming back.

Service is always great when I go. All of the servers/bartender are on point. Food is good

The food is inconsistent. But it is convenient and close to my home. My girlfriend and I would like to come here. One negative I can say, however, is their menu is printed with ridiculously tiny letters.

Love the laid back vibes in here. Super clean and nice in the inside. Love the space themed cocktails. The wings are 10/10 and hear me out the fish tacos 12/10!!!! Service was great, friendly, attentive, and never rushing you! Tons and tons of beer and TV's!!!

Came here two Friday's in a row just for the fish and chips. The staff is unbelievably friendly, and the service is amazing! Fish and chips are light and crispy and so fresh! The wings are also a must try. Garlic parm and Buffalo is the way to go! Zairel was our server for both Friday's and she was on top of it! She had such a great energy. Will definitely be back.

Just your friendly neighborhood foodie coming at you with a GREAT food option: Challenger Tap House Bar & Grill. If you like your food delicious, local and with an eclectic variety, you would LOVE this place! Kid friendly, full bar, and great food. I ordered the Garlic Frites and Fresh house-made hummus with pita chips. I ate myself into a stupor and need a nap. It was quiet when I came in on a Wednesday at 3 pm. The staff are GREAT! The bar tender was A+ with her customer service. I also saw her serve a new-hire a fresh iced-water after warmly greeting her. The new-hire walked in and only said "I'm here for training." Treating your staff good enough for them to treat their peers good is half of a great business.

Good burgers and other typical bar food. The bartenders were friendly and social to a first time customer. Overall a good place to catch a game while getting something to eat or drink.

Medium well burgers... Hadn't tried one till I came here with my gf and she recommended it. It was soooooo good. Their appetizers are good too. Nice atmosphere. I love this place need to go back soon! Been a couple years!

The food and service are one of the best if not the best in the AV. The only thing is that on some Fridays there's a live band & the vibe with the jukebox is way better. The band is a bit too loud where you can't have a conversation. They play for hours not just 1 or two. Other than that, amazing spot.

I was definitely surprised, the outside of the establishment doesn't look like much but inside was a different story! I had an amazing chicken sandwhich along with mac & cheese. WOW! It's a classic dish but the bar used ingredients which elevated it nicely. Keep in mind it's more of a bar than a restaurant. Our server was great & I can't wait to go back!

Poor customer service. Never got any updates for our food. Took forever for our food to come out and other customers who got here about 40 minutes later got their appetizers earlier than us. Totally ruined our appetite Zero Stars

The food is YUMMY! I've been here a few times and have tried different things and it's always delicious! I absolutely cannot stand their lighting as it's very obnoxious and bright...seems strange to me. I guess the food makes up for it. Instead of just having music that everyone can enjoy, they seem to have a jukebox of sorts. where the workers in the back like to come play their obnoxious music. I could definitely do without that. I guess they're trying to get you out of your seat and go spend your money on the music if you don't like it! Just make sure you have lots of people with you that you can talk to to drown out the "music". We had great service, and the food came quickly. P.S. You've got to try the delicious garlic fries!

I read all the people's comments and this place has got 4-5 good reviews. Beautiful place and bar. Came in on a Sunday around 2...I don't want to say anything negative but.. I guess the regulars are more important the new customers. It's ok.. they don't have to see my face here again.

The establishment was cool!! Seated immediately. We ordered wings. Lemon pepper was by far THE BEST lemon pepper wings I've ever had LITERALLY!! I will never come here without getting them. Cool vibes

I used to love it here, but I've started noticing the way they work. The owner is now the "security" and they're having 12 year olds have private parties inside. In a private room, during Covid. It's not even that nonchalant. Their waters and waitresses suck. They're lost. They don't know what drinks are what or what to serve. Kind of just walk around like a chicken with its head cut off. It's so un inviting Tap house, u were cool. Get your shit together and redeem yourself.

Great place to go alone or with a group to catch a game, get friendly service, great food and drinks! I had the Beet Cheese burger, it was delish!! Love the vibe and the atmosphere here!

My fiance and I came here with her mother and father for a late lunch and it was very busy. But Sean handled the to-go orders and a few tables efficiently and very professionally. I appreciated his quickness and thoroughness in taking our orders and when we wanted what. On top of some great customer service, the food was excellent as well. The Buffalo Chicken Fries were a particular favorite with their Hummus coming just behind it. Hope to come back around soon.

No atmosphere at all, music was too quiet for a Friday night people inside were too boring. It was 11PM and people were eating dinner, why. Lack of variety for alcohol.

I love this place! Went for my first time midday yesterday and everyone was welcoming. Excellent customer service! Great atmosphere! And the drinks were amazing thanks to Jason he's very professional and has perfected his craft

Am I the only one to notice the watery consistency of the beer? I had both the Guinness and the Sam Adams Winter Lager (in August), and I would swear that they were the same brew. This certainly could not just be due to the arctic temperatures of the beer, which also seemed to lack a nice foamy head. Is there anyone out there with a more discernable palate who could concur with me? I thank you for your time.

Stopped in for a Modelo Michelada and found a hidden gem worth tasting. American casual dining is usually far from memorable, not today folks, not today. With outdoor seating (Covid 19) available to sit down, I found myself asking the server (Lucia) to let the Chef pick my poison. Pick he did. Sautéed pepper, caramelized onions, greens, bacon, cheese, buttery bun and omg California sauce. Oozing at a medium cook and not overly seasoned, the patty only complimented the rest of the sandwich. This is the kind of burger I would gift as a wedding present to my heart healthy dieting brother. Delicious. Fries are fried and booze is booze. Service was stellar, above and beyond, and my overall experience was excellent. Come in and check them out, I was far from disappointed and will gladly be back again.

Food was pretty good. I got the alfredo steak, honestly it was a 7/10 but still good. The fries are really good too. Chloe is super sweet & helpful.

This review is literal years in the making as we first ordered from Challenger Tap House at the height of the pandemic. Granted all of our experiences have been via delivery service (Grubhub, etc), we really have tried to like this place but simply cannot. Over the 6ish times we've ordered from here it's just really not been a good experience. Wanted to like this place, really! And kept down-playing it by telling ourselves "maybe it is just an off night". No, not an off night. Chalk it all up to consistent garbage. From a fingernail in my burger to a dessert that tastes like dog food, Nashville chicken sandwich that doesn't have the foggiest idea or hat this kind of dish should taste like, to wins that are strangely over-fried, there is A LOT to about. Truly the only food that is decent here are the fries (not the lazy arse "poutine", just the plain fries under the cheese and the generic gravy). Perhaps the restaurant experience is better, but I really wouldn't go with high hopes, especially for the food. And the neighborhood/location is TERRIBLE. Keep your head on a swivel.

When going for the first time you would expect nothing but the best but if I knew how bad the service was going to be I would have gone else where, to begin with the waitress waiting on two other couples besides me and my husband it took her forever to even take out orders and the fact that she didn't want to acknowledge I was sitting at the table, didn't give me a menu, anything I wanted to order was "all out", didn't take my drink order, she "forgot" to place my food order, and forgot to bring me water when I had asked. Proceeded to only bring things my husband was ordering or if he asked for my order/drink. Wouldn't recomend because it was a horrible service from the blond waitress then when she finally put my food order besides the fact that it took her forever to put it in it was brought to the table by someone else and was finally brought everything from drinks to appetizers which was brought way after the food because "she forgot that I ordered it along with my drink" but brought my husbands drinks and with the food "I wasn't allowed" to make any special requests like "onions on the side" then my husband asked and all of a sudden it was allowed. Sucks how places like this die down due to horrible servers like this defiantly disappointed, and will not be returning. Wouldn't recomend for a night out. 80$ should have been better service !!!

The place is very nice despite the area that is located, Great food ( fish and chips ) And the menu is great compliments to the chef. Good service

My boyfriend's manager had a retirement party here. They gathered there in the evening after work to bid him farewell. Drinks food and service was good. Our waitress recommended some drinks im not a beer drinker so I didn't know what to order. We had wings and other finger food I can't remember but it was all pretty good. Fun place to grab some drinks and food for a date or night out with some friends.

The place is really nice, you don't imagine when you arrive ti the parking lot... the service was good, very attentive, food was very good but little bit overpriced. We only came to eat so I need to come back to get some drinks. Recommended

First time here!!! I'm all about service and this place was great! It's not in my favorite location but they definitely elevate the area!! Micheladas were fantastic and so was the beer cheese with the pretzel I shared with a friend! Will definitely be back! *(side note- I always appreciate a well kept bathroom; it's how I imagine they clean the areas of the restaurant we can't see and this restroom was so classy and impressive especially for a bar of sorts)

We found our new go to bar. Food was delicious. We got the wings, a burger and the Philly fries. Beer choices was good as well. Lots of variety and reasonable prices

Wings-awesome. Drinks, well-made. (The Mai Tai is to die for.) Bavarian Pretzel- DELICIOUS. "Frittes"- thick cut fries- AMAZING. Dipping sauces!!! Salmon-overcooked and fishy. Service- awesome. Bartender- a hoot! Plenty of beer on tap.

This place has really made great name for itself. They have their own creative menu . From specialty burgers, to full blown fancy dinner plates . I have not meet a bad server ever. If your looking a sports bar with a restaurant feel this is the place .

Sunday night went to the Blackbird Park moonlight tour and afterwards visited the Tap House. Jason, the bartender and manager was on his game, sweet, funny and attentive. The house was busy and the wait staff and serving staff were deluged. All places make mistakes it's how you handle them that matters. My beer cheese burger was well done and the cheese wasn't flowing. It looked congealed as if it had sat for sometime before serving as did my friends. We brought this to our server's attention and she immediately returned them to the kitchen for a make over. Jason, now in manager role, made absolutely certain the burgers met our expectations (medium rare, with fresh beer cheese and hot from the kitchen), and comped them on our bill! He went above and beyond. How he can be on top of everything, in a place that full and busy, says tons about his attention to detail and the care in putting together a team in the service industry that will succeed. Thank you to Jason, The Challenger Tap House team and the kitchen. You rock, please keep up the great job you're doing. I'm looking forward to my next great meal from you guys.

Wait staff and bartender -5 stars Kitchen staff - 3 stars First time here... Unique to find something like this in East Lancaster. Been to many similar in San Diego and Portland, but common options were not available. Most of the beers that you could normally NOT find in a store had not been restocked yet, but the bartender really shined with his custom hard liquor drinks. The food was hit and miss... Hummus appetizer had a falafel mix "secret ingredient" to it (just guessing), very good if you're use to Mediterranean food. Next the main entree; wings and the beer burger. Almost seemed like it was 2 different people prepping! The wings were served over fried then tossed in COLD sauce of choice, and the kid's cheeseburger had burnt cheese bits on bottom of patty and picky eater refused to continue. But the beer burger was perfectly cooked, delicious and presented just like the pictures on here, same for our dessert... Peach cobbler was amazing. The kid's ice cream was good enough to only please them... it had frost on it like it melted and been refrozen. Definitely will try again later when more things are smoothed out, server said its only been open one month. Sean did a great job taking care of us, fine dining etiquette... hope he is recognized for it.

The food was Excellent!!! And the service was on point!!! Alexander H was our server and was so personable and quick

First time coming to the Challenger Tap House, ambiance was great, all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our server made amazing drink recommendations and we tried the Brisket Nachos and substituted the tortilla chips with fries, they were super bomb. We also tried the desert that was being offered at the time and it was really good. So happy we got the chance to finally come in and try this place out. It'll most likely be our new regular spot
