Very nice meal with family! Had delicious fish and chips with creamy slaw, broiled salmon and rice, crab cake on pretzel roll, Reubens and baked beans as well as luscious desserts! Excellent attentive server!

The restaurant is welcoming and sets a nice tone from the moment you enter. The staff have all been helpful and inviting. In this instance, the waitress was excellent. She was pleasant and engaged, and this makes for such a more enjoyable meal. We got a very nice red blend wine. The crab dip was ok...being from southern Maryland though, this is a family favorite and has to be right. The meals themselves were very enjoyable. There aren't alot of side options and that is disappointing. Both recent times I went, the daily side dish was a baked potato...not super exciting. I should mention that the first time was for a snack and cocktails after work. That time, the crock of chili and happy hour margaritas were well worth the trip!

We pass this place many times a month and kept saying that we need to eat here. Well we finally did stop. I have to say that I was not disappointed. Looking that the menu the prices seemed a little high for the selection but it seemed like after we got our food the prices seemed fair. Appetizer the crab dip was good and the chili is one of the best restaurant chili recipes that I have had in a long time. The steak was medium rare, which what we ordered and the shrimp was good. The desert list looks good and they say that the deserts are from the local bakery, which we have stopped at and are familiar with. Our server was awesome. Very attentive, kind and patient. It probably helped that we came early and it was not busy, but regardless very pleasant.

Crimson used to be a favorite of ours - we ate here two to three times a week at one point (the photo included of our receipt from tonight shows what an average order is for us). What wasn’t to love? Locally owned, friendly staff, close to home, and great food - all of these pros used to make the price of dining here worth it.
Those days are GONE. Long gone. I will admit that the food, itself, is still quite good. But *something* has changed at Crimson. We started noticing a drop off in service about a month ago. Orders weren’t coming out to our table correctly and such. We never made a big deal out of it. Never asked for a discount or to speak with a manager. Just addressed the issues with the serving staff when they occurred. Well, the downward trend has escalated and tonight, after having to address multiple errors with our meal - including the absence of one of our meals - the poor professionalism and downright rudeness of our server was enough and we finally asked to speak with a manager. Lauren, the manager, came to our table and we relayed the issues we’ve been having dining here, the problems with our meals, and the way we were treated tonight by our server only to be, for all intents and purposes, brushed aside by the manager. Absolutely no attempt made by the manager to even ask how she could make things right for us and how to keep us as customers beyond the offer to change our server (which, by this point, was of no use to us).
Such a shame that the service at Crimson has become so poor. We hate that what used to be our favorite local restaurant is now the one restaurant in York we will actively tell people to avoid.

Never ate here before, I got the steak Florentine and it was awesome. Our waitress was wonderful, just wish I could remember her name.

Celebratory lunch date! Made it right before the dinner rush and am glad we did because it was packed as we left. Our server, Allie (sp) was attentive and the food was good!

What an amazing establishment and staff! I was trying to find a nice place to take our staff out from Thornton Chevrolet for an Administrative Professionals’ Day lunch, so I contacted Crimson and they advised me that they were closed at lunchtime, however they offered to open the restaurant up just for us to have our lunch party there! The entire staff was very attentive, and so friendly. On top of everything, I don’t think a single person was left with an empty drink. The owner, George, has truly done an amazing job training his staff and running this business. I would highly recommend Crimson to anybody looking for a great place to eat.

My family and I have enjoyed our meals at Crimson for years now, especially on holidays, but it is becoming less and less enjoyable because of the hostess Lauren. She is usually the one who answers the phone and is at the front door. Over time I have noticed her unwelcoming tone of voice, belittling comments and negative interactions.
While this has occurred over time, the events on Mother's Day hit an all time low and I feel as though I should share my experience. I called on Saturday to make a reservation for any time on Mother's Day for 3 people and I was told there were no openings at all but I could walk-in. On Mother's Day, my family and I came to the restaurant with high hopes. As we were begrudgingly greeted by Lauren, she promptly told us that we were welcome to go to the bar side as they were booked. We were able to get a seat there. The gentleman serving us and the bartender were working so hard to serve the entire bar area. Their service was wonderful and we were able to enjoy our holiday and the delicious meal. However, when I finished my meal, I went to peek in the dining room....more than half of the booths and tables were vacant. I can understand some tables being open while waiting for the reservation time but there were a lot of smaller tables available that could have accommodated us. I spoke with a few other people who were there in the bar and heard similar stories as to what happened to me- their small family wanting a reservation and being told they had no openings but many open tables.
Because of the other staff and the great food, I have put Lauren’s actions aside in the past. But this was my breaking point and I will be trying out different restaurants while Crimson, hopefully, fixes their management, or lack thereof.

Took my there for mother’s day this past Sunday. Was amazing. Food was great, drink weren’t watered down, and the desert was to die for. The server we had “David” was awesome. He was so great we left him a 30 tip. For my husband to do that he had to have been on top of us and he was perfect. Thanks for a great meal, memory, and big smile of satisfaction. Can’t wait to go back.

Fabulous place to grab a bite to eat! Every time we have come in, we are seated immediately. The servers are all very pleasant, drinks are refilled in a timely manner. Burgers are great, delicious chicken and bacon quesadilla! Our server yesterday even brought out a "slice of pizza" (piece of paper drawn to look like pizza) for my son's TMNT Mikey doll! They go above and beyond!
Pamela Schlotzhauer
Underwhelmed. The food wasn't any better than the service. Saw a server snacking on the cherries from the garnish tray. Bartender was complaining about being overwhelmed and we were the only 2 at the bar. No wondering why the place was slow on a Saturday for lunch.

Discovered the Crimson American Grill a few months ago and have been back weekly since. Food is ALWAYS great, salad menu is absolutely delicious, specialty drink/shot menu is extensive and the service second to none. Our favorite server Bryan always remembers our drink preferences without asking and makes every visit a pleasure. Love this place!
Jill Yohe
Husband took my daughter and I there for our b-days. Daughter had grilled salmon, ff, and rice pilaf. I had steak, crab cakes, glazed carrots and rice pilaf. We both had cream of crab soup. Husband had fried shrimp, ff and Cole slaw. My granddaughter had butter noodles and ff. She ate most of my soup and loved it. Food was great. They even tempted us with dessert chocolate lava cake and ice cream, double yum.
Martina Cooper-Krulle
Absolutely an amazing place to eat! Great customer service and excellent food! I love and recommend the loaded nachos! Ive been there about 10 or 11 times and loved it every time!
John Benedick
The place was off the chain. Food was on point and the staff was on it.
Sabrina Duke
The food has always been pretty good at Crimson. Unfortunately our party of 11 was treated rudely by an employee, after having poor service from the waiter all evening. We asked to speak with a manager, but sadly she offered us nothing for our troubles. I wouldn't make reservations for a large party there again. I may stop in for lunch or something if I'm on that end of town in the future, but I'm definitely not going out of my way to eat there. Service is too important to me, and there are plenty of other places that deserve my patronage in York.

The pork medallions and bacon/Brussels sprout risotto was amazingly delicious! The staff was pleasant and atmosphere was nice! Thanks for a great experience
Rachael Metzger
The food was great. Really good crabcakes. Service was fine. A bit pricey. Would definitely recommend it and go back.
Ginny Houseman
Chocolate martinis never disappoint! Great service from our waiter too! Best happy hour in York!

Our server Morgan was extremely attentive and sweet. Cream of crab was amazing! Yummy orange pineapple crushes! We will definitely be back! �
David Ober
This was our first time here. We had a great waitress and good food definitely will go back.

Did a google search on restaurants nearby. Crimson had almost 5 stars. I must say I was overwhelmed! Seated immediately on a Saturday night. The Crab appetizer is amazing!!! Our main course was there in under 30 min which was awesome. The Chicken parm was delicious!!! I thought the prices very decent. Our waiter Brandon was extremely polite and checked on us numerous times and it was busy in there. I will definitely be back. �
Andrew Heckman
Ample parking, service quick and attentive. Bartender on the inside on Wednesday evening was awesome. If I wasn't there to get a table I would have sat at the bar the whole night. Food was decent, I had the chicken Caesar salad and it was alright. The apps seemed better than the salad.
