You may have noticed that Doc Holiday’s Steak House located on Eisenhower Boulevard is now the Lancaster Brewing Co, 469 Eisenhower Blvd, Harrisburg, PA 17111.  Although we had been to Doc Holidays on a couple of occasions, it was not our favorite.  I always found the place to be a little dingy and the crowd slightly shady.  The food was fine but nothing great.  So, when we saw that it had changed, we decided to give it a try.

For those of you who had been to Doc Holidays, the floor plan is pretty much unchanged.  You walk in to either a bar area or a dining area.  The two areas are connected by long, slimmer hallway area.  The big change is the décor.  Gone is the country atmosphere and stuffed animals.  In its place is a slicker, modern restaurant that is definitely not as dingy feeling. 

We arrived at a strange time and, although the place was empty, we could not get the full menu.  Apparently, there is a two hour period between lunch and dinner where you can only get soup and salads.  Despite this, we decided to stay and had a relatively nice lunch.

We did take the time to grab a menu and it looks like they should have some fairly interesting food.  They have a “Small Plates, Salads and Sandwich” menu which has some unique choices – Smoked Duck Soft Tacos, Yellowfin Sushi Roll, Duck and Spinach Salad and Lamb Burgers.  I had the Duck and Spinach salad which was very good.  The Entrees looked equally exciting with Lobster Macaroni and Duck Breast Pizza. (They must have come into a lot of duck somewhere). 

The kids menu has the old stand-bys – chicken tenders, pizza and hamburgers.  It also has meatloaf and grilled chicken which are great to see on a kids menu.  Each meal comes with a beverage and a scoop of ice cream.

I wish I could talk more about the food but because we came at an off-hour we didn’t get to sample much.  If anyone’s been, please send your thoughts.  I am sure we will soon be trying it again and will let you know how it goes.
