My husband and I decided to check out Waffles and Shine tonight. We enjoyed some nice drinks and wonderful food. My husband loved his steak and the chicken&waffles brought this Lancaster County girl at heart right back to momma's table on Friday nights. The drinks were absolutely delicious, I enjoyed the Butterscotch Slippery Slope and my husband enjoyed his Pina colada slushy. The service was wonderful, both the waitress and Jacob were always checking up on us. Another man, (I think the owner?) checked in with us several times. There were some slight mishaps but that is always expected in the first month of being opened and we still throughly enjoyed our meal. The decor inside was stunning, from the pictures on the walls to the record player, it takes you straight to 1920s. And the check came in a little hollow book which was so cool. My husband and I will definitely be back!

We went here by accident, searching for a brunch spot with visiting family. Hands down, one of the top 3 restraunts I recommend you go to if you ever come to Chambersburg. The food is impeccable, and the cocktails they have are hands down THE BEST in Chambersburg, using "moonshine" from a local distillery. I cannot recommend the drinks here enough. No other bar IN THE TOWN, has anything on the bartenders here. The drinks do sneak up on you, so make sure to order plenty of the delicious food to help absorb the alcohol. All of it is from scratch and made to order. Most of the food is american in style, and comfort food in nature, with one or two native PA dishes. This is my new favorite brunch spot, and I will be coming here often, with friends.

We stopped in for drinks and were not disappointed. Fresh flavorful cocktail choices. We plan on going back for dinner because they use Cooper cheese in the Philly cheesesteak. Fun atmosphere. Friendly service.
