Red Rose Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Hellam Township

We walked in bar packed which is awesome, no tables to be found.. 1 bartender noticed us said good luck finding a table..which was odd.. so we looked around & found one. She came right over very nice ( even after saying good luck finding a table) 😕 took our drink orders came back with menus we ordered 2 appetizers asked if it was possible to have them before our main entree..of course she says well that didn't happen..food comes no silverware..napkins that's where service went downhill!! She was seen multiple times squatted down by a table chatting with a gentleman & child.. Ended up going up to the bar to get silverware, napkins. S&P. Not once of I'm sorry nothing. Oh and the bar had emptied out to seats full but not 3 deep. Other bartender was clueless. On her phone..joking with customers sitting at bar that's it . Food was ok..thought it would be better but..just ok! Nice place we stop frequently as it's on our way to the Tourist Inn . Finally had the chance to eat there but...

100% better now that smoking is kept out of the dining area. We had stopped coming for a few years because it was so bad but now the atmosphere is pleasant and laid back. I think they have built up enough of a following and have a large enough customer base they may need to expand the dining area but that's a costly thing to do and space is limited. If you have a larger group I'd definitely consider calling ahead. We usually just walk in and if there is a wait it isn't usually long. Waiting is rare though because we tend to go earlier for dinner. We love the specials they run. By the way they have one of the best white garlic pizzas in York county so if you're big on garlic this is the place for you. We love it and usually add it onto our orders even if we're there...
