Skoob's Village Grille - Lancaster

This is the best fish fry I 've ever had! I order the half portion, which is the size of most places regular size!! The beer batter is perfect! Crispy outside and no raw batter just crispy goodness! And the fish itself is so thick, meaty and white! Honestly, they have a huge menu, never had anything I didn 't love. Makes it hard to decide but if it 's a Friday no thinking needed!! ?

This establishment was recommended to us today. I was absolutely amazed at the size of the beer battered fish fry, the crispiness, the taste. Homemade sides and fries generously placed on the plate. Just like an old fashioned fish fry. And the beer prices were reasonable not outrageous like it a lot of places now. The rest of the menu looked so good we will be back soon not just for a fish fry.

Second time I have been to Skoob's. Laid back atmosphere that is family friendly. Appetizer of the hot pretzel was delightful. The pretzels never got hard even when they cooled down. Their homemade cheese sauce was delicious. It had a white American cheese type flavor which I appreciate when most cheese dips tend to be cheddar. The deviled eggs with jalapeno and candied bacon are a must have. It's great to share and they have a great balance of sweet and heat. The fact that this restaurant makes their own blue cheese and fresh cut fries makes a quality difference you notice. They also hand bread their chicken fingers. It takes your normal pub type food to a slightly special level you do not find everywhere. The chicken wings were great and crispy but not overcooked and they came with a lot of fresh carrots and celery as did the fingers. One poor aspect of my visit was the Specialty Cocktail menu. My impression is that these are out of date and the correct cocktail recipes are not being used based on the drinks we were made. The one I ordered was awful. It was like drinking fire it was so strong. My husband couldn't even drink it. It was not just the strength but it just tasted like straight booze and nothing else. It was hard to accept the $10 price tag for each cocktail that went to waste. However, lots of friendly staff and food at this restaurant and I would certainly recommend it to friends and family....minus the cocktails.

The fish fry are the best in town! I've been looking everywhere for a good fish fry that is crunchy without getting soggy and I finally found it! The sides are plentiful, and the dinner is huge! Edit: Finally got to come back and it's better than ever which I never thought was possible! Had the chance to have a peanut butter martini (pictured , and the house made apple bread pudding (sorry didn't make it to a photo before devouring you don't realize what you miss till you have missed it! Also friendliest staff around, and Skoob stopped by (socially distanced of course ?? after recognizing us, always nice to feel so welcomed. I can't wait to bring my son back in, this is by far his favorite place and he's a pretty picky teen! They have a way of making everyone feel like family ? Pictures are from today because I actually remembered to take them before immediately devouring this delicious piece of heaven!

Fantastic fish fry, huge piece of fish cooked for perfection! Our first time here and we will definitely be back!
