Lansdowne Inn

This place has good food and affordable drinks. But before you visit, you need to set expectations. This is a good place to meet with friends and grab the aforementioned food and drink. But this is not a sports bar - the broadcasts of games are only a backdrop for socializing.I missed the distinction and didn't have a great experience. I visited on a game day to watch preseason football quickly found out that's not why you should visit. I had to coach the wait staff to turn on the local game, and still has to listen to CMT as a backdrop instead of the game. The food is pretty good but service can be very slow when they're busy. Folks are nice and welcoming, which helped me get comfortable. The prices are pretty good here. But if you come, just understand what this place is and is not. It's good for drinks and socializing, and that's why you should come. Also, social distancing is pretty much non-existent based on my experience.

UPDATE: The new Lansdowne Inn has taken advantage of the 2020 shutdowns to do some much needed renovation. The sad brick building has been built out and encapsulated by corrugated metal. It would look like a transplanted prison hut if it wasn't for the simplistic red, white, and blue decorations outside and the beer signs in each window, so instead it looks like a liquor store serving the Republican National Convention. The inside is very nice, now a wide open space with new furniture and clean wooden floors. Large TVs adorn the walls, making this a great place to catch a game. Train decorations adorn the walls in a nod to its heritage, although even with all the changes this place does not have much of an identity. The food and drink options are the same as always. A full bar with limited beer and wine options, basic American fare and pub grub. Both okay with better prices than the city center or other more populated areas. The wings are big and cooked well, and both the Garlic Parmesan and the Jamaican Jerk were tasty. The former was a dry rub and the latter had a spicy sauce so if that matters to you be sure to ask how they're served as it isn't marked on the menu. I've had wing snobs tell me they are expensive for what you get, but I'd say the prices are fine.Your mileage may vary, but the old guard servers are friendly and attentive, the new staff is still learning (chatting with tables while ignoring the bar.) The new folks are also resistant to mask mandates, laughing in my face when I dared to ask them to wear it over their nose, so this may not be the place to go if that worries you.

First time here after a recommendation to come for amazing appetizers and food. Not to mention drinks to go with that. All the staff's are very friendly and welcoming. A great local place to hangout with family and friends.

I hate to do this. This place was easily four or five stars before last week. We used to go there after work almost every Friday because the drinks were super strong. I went back in alone last Friday to grab a drink and some mozzarella sticks only to be told that supposedly a customer complained that the drinks were too strong and now the owner has put those little pour control tops on the bottles. If they don't have a top apparently people have to use those little silver shop measuring glasses to make drinks. WHAT?? this isn't some corporate crappy place like Buffalo Wild Wings are you really going to measure your drinks? It was a fun time while it lasted but I'm not coming back.

Cheap beer, but bartender didn't know how to make a margarita. Cheesesteak subs are a must, I get them every time!

Good cheap beer and great wings!! Not the Taj Mahal but does the job..just a nice homey atmosphere!! Don't come with huge expectations!! Just enjoy the food and the size of your wallet when you leave!

We ordered three meals online for delivery. Two meals were correct though the third, a hot turkey platter with mashed potatoes and broccoli, was totally incorrect. The meal provided was just roast beef with fries. Called the restaurant to inform them of their mistake. Was initially told my order was for roast beef and only came with a single side so the broccoli should be an extra charge. I still had the order open I'm my browser and informed them it was not roast beef and their website provides two sides for the meal I ordered. The restaurant finally offered to provide the original meal I ordered though I would need to drive there to pick up. This wasn't an option and negates the whole reason to pay extra for delivery. I ate some of the meal provided and found it was not tasty at all. Meat was dried out, too much overly salty gravy and soggy fries. I will not eat here again and would never recommend this restaurant.

Ordered takeout. Chesseburger sub. just cheese. the pork chip dinner wasn't worth the money, 2 dried out thin overly cooked bone in chops which we couldn't eat too tough. a loaded potato with nothing but a side of sour cream that was nuked too long and half we couldn't eat and the pretzel bites that shouldnt be offered for take out, as they cooled they were really hard to chew, taking 30 mins after we got them. the reason they got 2 stars, the driver was really nice and the delivery time was a little on pointSo as I go into the kitchen to fix us something to eat I will post this

They've always been great but since the remodel (during covid) and bringing on the manager Gino things have really been amazing. The food is GREAT, timing is GREAT and the environment is all around GREAT!!! Seriously check them out!!! My husband swears by the firebox shrimp and I absolutely LOVE the crab balls.

Taco Tuesday was awesome!!! They had $2 tacos which were super filling with the best drinks!
