| - Public House - bar, right? However, the beer menu had no prices. The waitress did not know the prices of the beers, either. Also, the beer/wine menu was printed all on one page, and on cheap, dirty, wrinkled paper. Wine was priced. Beer was not. Weird.
Hubby & I ordered a Reuben sandwich and onion rings. When we ordered, the waitress told us that the corned beef was not ordinary corned beef, and had some fat in it. - Okay, corned beef is fatty. Bring it on. . . However, what came out in that sandwich was NOT corned beef. The menu should have read "Dry, tough, nasty roast beef sandwich". Maybe then, we would not have ordered it. Unfortunately, even with the pseudo-warning from the waitress, we did. Awful. Inedible. Really bad.
The onion rings were too big (wide). They were fried in a cornmeal mixture that had odd spices and retained too much grease. We could only eat one each. At least they weren't frozen.
After 2 bites each, we put our napkins on our plates and were ready to leave. A manager (I think) came to our table and asked us how we liked it. We told her. She was not very receptive, and said something like "That 's just the way we do it here." She wasn't rude or anything - just not receptive to constructive criticism.
Side Note: This restaurant is in the 'front yard' of the largest neighborhood in Lancaster County. The neighborhood is a 55-and-over Del Webb gold course community. There are over 3000 homes. Why plan a bar with an ambiance that is loud, cold, hard & dark? All chairs and stools are spartan and all-wood. There is not one soft feature in the whole room (no carpet, no cushions, no plants, high ceilings), which makes for a very loud, cold environment. I can only imagine the noise if there are more than 10 patrons in attendance. (There were only 4 other people there when we were.) Thank goodness the TV's are silent. Sun City is a Boomer neighborhood. A retro-lounge atmosphere would have been much more well-received.
