Station House Tavern & Sports Bar — Restaurant in Manheim Township

My family and I came here for lunch. Things started out great our server was very friendly. Since they do not have a kids menu our server suggested barbeque chicken and put their order in ahead of ours. The chicken came out and I cut into it to split between the kids and the chicken was raw and bloody. We told our server and he took it back. Then he came back with the same plate it was on with the rest of the fries along with the fork I used to cut into the chicken that was raw...um what the heck? We were not the only table who sent the chicken back. After a little bit he bought out the chicken and there were other cuts in it besides the one I made. Who knows if it was actually the one we had sent back. My husband told our server they were not going to eat it and he copped an attitude saying fine I'll eat it. I'm thinking is this real life right now?! My husband also got a silo burger which he wanted a little past medium and our server said we cook our stuff perfectly so we will make it medium well OK fine, it came out weller then well. We didn't say anything about it because of what happened with the chicken. We did ask our server when the bill came if he was going to have to pay for it even though he had an attitude we still didn't want him to have to pay for it and again he told us no he was going to eat it. That's just freaking weird and kind of gross let's be honest. I have been here before on multiple occasions sometimes it's been great sometimes not the greatest, but this takes the cake. I'm a pretty straight shooter if your good your good I'll make sure you know and if you suck I'll tell you. Well you sucked big time this time and I will not be returning ever again. I would give them negative stars...

This place is honestly very nice. They had a really good Nashville spicy chicken sandwich that had a nice amount of heat- not so much that I couldn't taste the chicken, but enough to make sure I knew this was a spicy sandwich. I also got the "corn ribs" - the menu description is similar to an elote, but what they do is cut down the side of a corn on the cob and then batter and fry it before adding the seasonings and cotija. The flavor was good, but the big chunk of corn cob in the middle made it difficult to eat and just not enjoyable despite the flavor being pretty good. I'm not sure if the batter and fry method is the best for a corn on the cob either way. The rest of the food was great so I'd normally ignore something small, but this was honestly a let down.

As to the rest, it's a fairly typical sports bar on the inside - nice enough to watch a gam. The workers were all very polite and obviously busy. The prices were a bit higher than I'd expect from a sports bar - I had planned to get wings, but at $9 for 6 or $18 for 12 wings, it was cheaper to just get a sandwich.

I want to be clear that this place is fine - I'd skip the corn ribs, but you could definitely have a good time here and I'm sure people do. But in Lancaster there are so many bars that have both better food and better prices that I honestly couldn't see going back to...

Thought I'd try this place out and I was disappointed. Went there with my cousin and we had the worst host/waiter ever. The food was ok but the service was terrible. My cousin ordered a cup of crab soup which tasted like potato soup with lots of pepper. She didn't eat it and the waiter asked her why and it was obviously that she just didn't like it. He was very rude about the fact that she didn't eat it. He also charged her for a crock of soup instead of a cup. He ended up giving us attitude and arguing that he always repeats what people order. He repeated everything but the cup by simply saying "sure" when we ordered instead of changing it on the paper for the kitchen. He also would check on us but rushed as if he was too busy. Its expected to be loud because there's a bar in there; though it was too loud because every time the waiter came by or my cousin was talking we had lean in to hear anything! I usually try restaurants twice before I make up my mind. The service made me very angry and almost wanted to throw the plates of food at him. In the end,he took the soup off the check and all we wanted was to be charged for what we ordered. If he had just changed the stupid check( or written the correct order down) to what was actually ordered and didn't ARGUE with the customer, the experience would have been a little...
