Pubs near Mount Joy

“I had a small gathering here for my sons first birthday and it was amazing, from being greeted at the door to getting our food packed up to leave was an amazing experience. The service was amazing, the food to die for and (my favorite part) the welcomeness to it. You can definitely tell this is a REAL family establishment, thank you, there’s not many of you guys left“

“Sat within minutes. Confusion by staff. Who was greeting or seating. Saturday night, 9:30 pm. Not packed. Nice booth for 5 of us. Server was there in under 5 minutes. Kind of just stood there for 30 seconds. Said nothing, so I asked for a beer. Caught her off guard. I guess she was waiting to do the usual server greeting. She shot me a dirty look. We all just joked about it. We ordered drinks, soups and appetizers. Crab pretzels were a little dry and tasteless. French onion was really good. Appetizers and soup arrived in less than 8 minutes.Then on to order entrees. Club was good. Chicken pot pie dry. Chicken primavera was ok. Not a WOW !!! But ok. Server got the special requests right. Just not a upbeat vibe. No personality, no fun banter. Maybe she worked a long shift. Nice open dining room. Bar dead center. Lots of TV's. She asked me if I wanted changed as I paid. Never ! Never ask a guest that. It sounds like you are soliciting a tip. Which was over 20% on a $116 bill. Labatt beer was fresh and cold !Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of tables to put a wheel chair, wide isles and door ways.“

“We stopped in here on St. Patrick’s Day for drinks. I have been here before, but they have somewhat limited hours, so I just try to stop in if I happen to be in the area and see they are open. This place has a beautiful historic atmosphere indoor, a very nice little patio, good prices, and good vibes.“

“Great meal in a relaxed, historically preserved building. The pork shank was beautifully presented and tasty served with basic french fries. The Chilean sea bass was perfectly co I ked served with a sweet sauce over garlic mash potatoes. The house pesto vingarette served with the salad was remarkable. Devon was attentive and pleasant.“

“We went here for St Patty's and it was perfect. Our table was in the room with the Irish band. Perfect seats. My wife and I both had Irish dishes which were occasion perfect. Our server was amazing. I went to Red Lobster on Friday night and the service was terrible, so our server stood out for his attentiveness. I couldn't imagine a better place to spend St. Pattys.“

“From their creative menu to their top tier ingredients, Black Gryphon is a must visit spot for any locals AND out of towner’s. Their fantastic “Chocolate Hot” is extremely noteworthy. From the several dishes I’ve tried, each one has been a home run. Be sure to get your burger “Super Saiyan Style”! Beautiful spot/people, will be back!“

“We had to try the fried Mac and cheese. Unique, savory, creamy, would get it again! The sautéed peach burger was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. A lot of great food at a very reasonable price. The service was outstanding. The Trail Rider and Lazy River beers were top notch. This was our first visit and we will be back!“

“If you live near Columbia or Mount Joy, PA you should have heard of this place already. Good food and atmosphere. Recommended ?I personally get the prime rib. I have tried other menu items and am never disappointed.Parking: Right next to the creek which doesn't flood often (since about 2012.)“

“This is an anytime of the day place! Great for a quick business meeting lunch or finding people to talk to and hang out with if you want something to do any night of the week. All the food is made-to-order and super fresh! Highly recommend!“

“I had no idea this place was here. A friend recommended it while we were in the area as a lunch spot. It was still Fall and the weather was amazing so we were seated at a table in their amazing ourdoor space. It's so prettty; I felt like I was on vacation. The menu had a lot of really good looking options and we struggled to choose. We started with some wings. They were exceptional--- crunchy, juicy and well sauced. Our friend ended up with a spicy chicken sandwich. I had an open face beef sandwich with gravy and french fries. My husband had a chicken Caesar wrap. Everything was beautiful to look at and delicious. Service was a little slow, but reasonable. The atmosphere made it alright. I hope to get back there soon.“

“Be very careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers (which can happen with any tavern along the river). In December, about 10 days before we went here, they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. The guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders, great service ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. I mean it was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved with escorting the POS to the curb. The owner needs to hire some aggressive enforcement right now to get a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere on a weekend. I hope things change here, they need to exercise a heavy hand. It's a nice place, but the trash has to be dealt with and kept out.“

“This was our first time here after having lots of recommendations to go. When you walk in you seat yourself our waitress came over almost immediately with menus. Didn't take pictures but for drinks we had White Peach Crush, Punch Bowl Crush, and a Reeds Apple Ale.“

“I have been coming here regularly since they opened, so have probably been here 25+ times. Their brews are good as well as their panini sandwiches, sliders and small bites such as cheeses. The Gouda cheese tray is pictured. I guess I ate my sliders too quickly to take any this time. They use all locally sourced ingredients, which is a plus. They used to have music here a lot, but it seems in recent years the owners may be focusing more on their expanded locations to Lancaster and ironspire. They have added to the rear area of their brewery recently as well as added additional outdoor seating for warmer weather. When it’s nice, I like sitting outside here, although that may invite some Columbia characters to stop for unwanted chats, so be aware of that.“
