Horse Inn: Reviews & Ratings
We found this little gem many years ago and have returned time to time and are never disappointed. Last night was no exception. Food was phenomenal and service was great. Always love the atmosphere. Parking is always a little tricky but we usually find a spot.
One of my favorite places to dine and drink in Lancaster. I love that this place is so top notch, but the vibe is very relaxed and fairly casual. The food and drinks are always consistent and I've never had a bad time here.
Excellent food. Live music was also excellent. Three of us had a drink at the bar and then moved to a table for dinner. We shared the loaded French fry appetizer as we had been traveling and wanted something quick. They were good. I had their delicious version of a BLT with fried green tomatoes, mozzarella and local bacon.
Horse Inn is a great place for drinks with friends. I enjoyed the food we had and watching the bartender make drinks. The service was excellent. I do agree that the menu is limited, but the locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and lively atmosphere make up for it. The historical building (which used to be a horse stable) is really cool, but be aware that it’s located on the second floor with a steep flight of stairs.
For starters, the food here was very good. It was flavorful and filling. The servers were helpful and friendly, and they were great at assisting their customers. I thought that the building was neat too and I liked seeing how it had been converted from a stable to a restaurant. I would gladly come here again if I found myself in Lancaster.
This place was awesome definitely would go back. Burton B was an amazing waiter the food and drink was excellent. Great atmosphere cool building. They are doing a great thing. They even have a vending machine you can buy a T-shirt in that's cool too. Cool little town parking lot is a book warehouse I believe. Fall fried gains are awesome so delicious and my husband got shrimp and grits he said it was the best shrimp he ever had.
Great food, fantastic service and amazing atmosphere. Was there from out of town for a business dinner and was treated to some unexpected live jazz. Top shelf mixology going on in this place as well. A must try.
Our meal tonight was really good - Thank you to Abbie our server. She knew the exact flavors of the dishes. Wonderful halibut. Per husband the shrimp and grits were the best he ever had.
