This place is amazing. I drove 25 minutes here from a car show, on the suggestion of Google Maps, and was sure not disappointed. I sat at a table on a nice outdoor deck, enjoying a pleasant mid-August breeze. The house-brewed beers all sounded good, so I ordered a sampler (a "flight," where I come from) tasting half a dozen of all their beers. They were all good, but their Kipona Octoberfest (sorry, to those of you reading this who are out of season for it) was among the best Octoberfests that I have ever tasted... as in, in the top three or so. I have always been a big fan of Spaten Ur-Marzen Oktoberfest, and this one rivals it easily. For dinner, I got their amazing Mile High Meatloaf. "Mile High" is right... good luck finishing this, if you arent famished. Ground beef, on top of well-prepared mashed potatoes, with a delicious gravy, topped with thin-sliced crispy onion straws. Just delicious. Ill come back here again for certain, next time Im in this beautiful Pennsylvania countryside.

My work held a holiday meal event in their back room again this year, and we came back this year for good reason. The food was well prepared, and their portions are just right. You cant go wrong with any of their beers; I fancy their pale ales. They also have beer suggestions for each of their entrees. The woodsy restaurant/bar atmosphere is great for any gathering - with family, friends, or a date. If youre looking for a special, check out their bottomless fish and chips on Friday! Not to mention they have a young and helpful staff. I highly recommend ABC if youre looking for a casual, hearty, conversation-welcoming dining/drinking experience in Lititz, PA Target audience: 21-40+ Bathrooms: Down the hall to the left from the main door, (3.5/5) Parking: This is the biggest challenge. Dont park in the business lot down the hill from their lot. If their loop-around lot is full, park along the street. I typically park at Lititz Mennonite Church up on Front St/N Water St and walk.

Waiting 45 minutes for dinner? Must be worth it...right? WRONG. Waitress was ok, not rude but didnt really make us feel welcome. However I asked if the Turkey Strutter sandwich was hot. I was told that the bread would be hot, but not the meat. What I got though was a cold sandwich and luke warm fries. My wifes beef sandwich was no better. Couple we were with asked for sour cream for her perogies and was brought celery. Ok, the food runner, he heard wrong, kind of funny...except that they didnt actually get her the sour cream until she was almost done with the meal about 10 minutes later. Beer was good according to my beer drinking friends. Overall go in with eyes open, and know what youre going to get.

We went last night and there was a long wait (an hour and a half) for a table but I took that as a good sign. We were able to find a seat at the bar about 10 mins after we got there and decided wed eat at the bar. The bartenders were extremely friendly and helpful and all of the servers were smiling and creating a great atmosphere by interacting with everyone. We had 4 different beers and their birch beer and all were great! We did not sample the IPAs because were not into those. The food was good and the portion size was large from appetizer to dessert (thanks for our "wedding cake!"). Good food, good beer, and great service on a busy night! What more could you ask for!

The atmosphere is such a lure. And its not even the best part about it! They brew their own birch beer and root beer! The food is amazing! I had the feature item, a hickory bourbon chicken sandwich with potato salad, and a great beer! They branded their logo on to the top of my burger bun, which was a super cool. The waitress was really nice and very accommodating! The biggest problem I had was finding a parking space. Their parking lot is not very big, and my friends and I had to park somewhere else to walk to the restaurant. All in all, the experience is unique and well worth its money, with a price range of $10 - $20 per entree. You wont be disappointed.

This place is excellent all around. The staff, the atmosphere, the food and the beer are all top notch. Try the Water Gap Wheat or the Jolly Scot Ale - both are crisp, balanced session beers that are easy to drink and enjoy. I also frequently go with the burger when Im here - theres a build your own option that lets you customize toppings - and have never once been disappointed. It comes on a roasted brioche bun with the ABC logo grilled on top, which is a cool little touch. Great first date spot as well due to the lively atmosphere, competent and personable staff and delicious food and beer.

The Lititz chain of ABC keeps the same standards as the other ABCs in the area. The beer is generally good and the food is good. The menu isnt particularly extensive (and I tend to lean towards burgers when at this chain of brew-pubs), but its hard to complain about the food quality or service here. The biggest detriment to the ABC Lititz experience is the parking situation for ABC - their parking lot is far too small and parking in the general area is quite limited. Get there early or be prepared to walk a few blocks.

Consistently a poor experience. It must be part of the culture. They are always understaffed and the staff that is they is inattentive. I will say it is a kid friendly spot. They bring a snack plate and have a great kids menu to color. On this visit we were kid free and sat at the bar. Made eye contact with the bartender a few times. Manager walked by the back of the bar. They were not very busy. Just one bartender servicing a half full restaurant and full bar. After five minutes of not being acknowledged we left.

Great experience. The meatloaf was terrific. It had a good green pepper and onion taste, and came in a stack of brioche and tasty mashed potatoes. The beer flight was surprisingly full of great beers, and my wifes perogies and beer brats was also delectable. My two year old was served a snack of crackers and American cheese immediately upon sitting down, with a colorable menu and crayons. Other than that, the service could have been faster, but didnt detract from the well-earned 5 star rating.

I had the wheat beer, asiago fries, and Sasquatch burger. The price was about $25. Totally worth it, the beer was delicious. The fries were a good portion for 7.50. Decent amount of cheese and all. The burger was the best burger I think Ive ever had. It came with thinly sliced apples on top that really set it off. Really mouth watering stuff here and a cool atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Our first time here today and it was a great experience!! We both got burgers, his a classic Angus beef with cheese and bacon and I got a turkey burger with spinach, brie and avocado. We both were totally smitten with our choices. Also the brews were top notch! I got a grapefruit hefe that was so tasty I had to get a six pack to take home with me! Cannot wait to visit this place again!!

Had a great meal here, as usual. We had a slight issue this visit with service, as our waitress didnt realize we had been seated outside. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink order. She apologized profusely and offered us an appetizer of our choice, on the house. Great service and friendly atmosphere. We enjoy sitting on the deck when the weather is nice.
