Has anyone been to their other locations? I'm looking forward to checking this place out before Christmas. Any reviews?

Have been to Wilmington, Media and West Chester. All were remarkably consistent as to quality and freshness of the food and beer. WC is a little challenged in the service department, it is squeezed into a smaller space and gets more of the happy hour crowd bleeding into the dinner rush. At Media a large group of us showed up late, and they were very accomodating as far a making room for us and getting us served quickly. A very professional outfit overall.

Newark and Phoenixville are the nicest facilities they have. Media and West Chester are a bit cramped. Quality is very good. I personally like the Anvil Ale with the Southwest Turkey Burger. Highly recommended.

Evertything is good. I tried the West Chester location and it was a very nice experience. Another beautiful thing is this location is smoke-free. Lancaster Brewing is also going smoke free as of tommorow. Union Barrel Brew in Reamstown is smoke-free as well.

Went Thursday night, snuck in just after 5PM without a reservation. Would recommend getting one, althought there was room to get a drink and wait in the lobby as the bar was pretty packed.
Staff was really friendly, and knowledgeable for the first couple of nights. There may of been some ringers from other locations. They all made a point of asking if you have ever been to an Iron Hill before. Was greeted by both a manager and an owner during our stay.
Tried the generous beer sampler, all were fresh as you'd expect and well presented. Beer was flavorful and well-crafted, although not all to my taste (fruit beers are a waste of both good beer and good fruit). Made a selection (Vienna Red) and ordered a pint with dinner.
Our food was fresh and timely, which was key with kids in tow. Ahi tuna perfectly rare, with thin fresh pineapple slices and crushed macdamia nuts and sesame oil drizzle. Beware the red chili paste! If your cardiologist will let you, the cheeseteak eggroll (not a typo) was fantastic! Entrees were tempting, but with all that under our belts, a brewski burger and a rack of baby backs was plenty. Smoked ribs were flavorful, if just a little dry, but bone-suckin' good. Bacon cheddar burger on a good crusty bun, not overcooked. Kids meals better than average, many more choices than most places. Dessert will have to wait for the next trip as well, but some interesting options.
On par with their other locations I have visited, and as good as anything in this area we've tried. Best of luck to the management and staff!
