Really cool spot where you can grab a beer and one of the best burgers you’ll ever have. I got the dry aged burger and a side of fries. The burger was delicious and cooked to perfection. The fries are also seriously underrated. I also got the MC Amber ale at the little bar in the back and it was good too. 5 out 5 would come here again.

The chicken sandwich was fantastic. Chicken was juicy but also crunchy. The French onion sauce was delicious. Pickle rounded it out nicely. Very nicely balanced.

New on my favorite spots in Lancaster! Had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Bánh Mi. Both were exceptionally good with great flavor. Pickles added great acidity to the ranch and dill sauce with the chicken and the Bánh Mi had great flavor and a nice kick with the jalapeños. Onion rings were also fantastic! They do great sandwiches and the focus on doing them right. Will definitely go back!

I’ve been a diehard fan of this place since day one. Some places lose their charm after they get in too deep, but Cabalar only keeps improving – and they deserve every ounce of success they’ve received. The monte cristo is my favorite, but the cubano & fried pickles are must haves as well. Today I got the patty melt, and it was just as delicious as I expected.

Cabalar is a spot that is never going to let you down! Every time I have gone it has been a great experience. Something that I have always appreciated about this place is their consistency. It’s a place where the staff make you feel known, and that you might see in a place like New York or Philadelphia. I got the pimento burger weekly special tonight. They stay ahead of the game by keeping their menu creative and coming up with new and creative weekly specials. What really made this burger was that the cheese wasn’t fully melted as it hit the burger, to give it some different texture and maintain some its “raw” taste while still being melted and creamy. I would recommend cabalar to anyone that enjoys awesome burgers/sandwiches/dry aged beef.

Today, we enjoyed the first of many future meals at Cabalar’s. It was one of the best burger meals I’ve ever had AND one of the best meals *PERIOD* I’ve ever had in Lancaster. (I was raised here but have lived in Philly 20+ years)

I always get the banh mi and the salad. The onion rings are also delicious! Others swear by the burgers. One of my favorite lunch spots (we went 2 weekends in a row – it’s addicting)

I’ve been wanting to go here for months and I’m glad I finally did. Not only is this a butcher shop serving food straight from the source, but there is also a Mad Chef stand in the restaurant as well. I normally love my burgers loaded with ingredients, but I wanted to see if the burgers were worth the hype. I ordered the house special that had 2-year aged cheddar, b&b pickle, aioli and onion. The burger is one of the best I’ve ever had and the bun was also really good. The patty melt has a perfect, crunchy exterior to the sourdough bread and the meat/cheese combo blends perfectly. I can’t wait to come back and try the poutine fries.

Waiting nearly an hour for a couple burgers. Frozen patties cooked unremarkably and over salted fries. When I dared complain I was treated rudely not so much as an “I’m sorry it took so long!” The beer was also warm. Not worth the hype. A waste of time and money. Try Route 66. By far a better product and experience.

Visiting from California, we dined here twice in 3 days because it was so good. We had the Reuben, Patty Melt, Sweet Heat and Beef & Cheese and everything was phenomenal, as was the friendly service. It’s a huge call, but these were the best burgers/sandwiches we’ve ever had! We’ll visit Lancaster again just to eat here – please open one in Cali!
