El Sierra Bar & Grill

Great drinks nightlife fun and food. Djs, Karaōke, live entertainment, catering, parties!!!

I have known this family from back in the late 70’s. Nick (God rest his Soul) would cash my check and give me a free beer, as long as I bought dinner for many years, When I worked on swing shift I would help him out with maintenance for free food .
I came to enjoy the whole family in this small community at the time and watch Nani grow up. Well times have changed and evolution will never stop and the business was sold: (
It didn’t take long for new employees starting to show up, then the chips and salsa was not right, then the Chile Verdi was not right. Then the drinks had no standardization, more alcohol was not the answer .
The last straw was the smell in the men’s room, I quietly went to the bar where the owner and bartender were talking and said the bathroom needs some help. In a few seconds they were pointing fingers at each other and I decided that’s it !
I have stopped by thinking it was open as the printed sign said but left after waiting and waiting. I guess I’m just not much into beer pong .
I’ll give them one stars, because I have seem them pull the beer dispenser
handle correctly but I question how clean the glass was …
I won’t be back ! ! !

Went there last night with one of their DJ’s on his day off. The new bartender was saying racist comments and hassling us about drinks, trying to over charge. All the while, him, the owner, and the owner’s boyfriend were drinking beers and playing beer pong. Please see other reviews about the owner, pretty much all true about her and her boyfriend. Then in front of customers, this new bartender fired the DJ, while making fun of him. So rude. Again who’s in charge? Whoever drinks the most? Clearly not customer oriented.

So I was coming to this location when it was Nicos Restaurant. The service and food was great then. I was shocked to find out the restaurant had been sold. The new owners didn’t listen to the old saying… if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The food is terrible. The service is terrible. The prices and menu changed and the quality of the food as well. The servers don’t dress how a restaurant should have them dress. Even if its a bar the servers should cover up and clean up. They go out and smoke and come right back to handle your food. They remodeled the inside to represent what I believe is a bar trying to serve food but the place when I have gone is empty and its easy to tell why. How they survive until the end of this year is beyond me. They must have people show up at night cause when I went for lunch place was empty. I wish them luck but tragic to see a good restaurant with a good name just disappear.

Love it!!! Fun place, great prices for drinks, and amazing DJ’s and karaōke.
Everyone should check this place out!!!

although this place had great customer service the food wasn’t good, my husband ordered a carne asada taco it was so nasty the Grease was dripping all the way down his arm an the grease was just really dark black because the carne asada was burnt. I ordered the same exact thing took one bite and didn’t eat any of the rest. for the inconvenience the waiter gave us 10 percent off but that still did not satisfy me because I did not even eat my meal. I will never go to this place again the sad thing is we have been going here for years when it was called Nikos and we loved it then.

This restaurant fails to met any good standard of service.

Moved from Lancaster 8 years ago and planned on eating at Nicos since we were in the area. They were gone so we thought we’d tryi Sierra’s Empty parking lot should have told me something. Salsa tasted like it had sage in it. My cheese enchilada had cold unmelted cheese inside. my bean and cheese burrito was 90% beans with the the small portion of cheese on one side. my crew agreed the tacos were not worth eating. My stomach started churning before I was ½ way through my burrito. Felt like I’d wasted my money and my time. The service was ok — the food was not.

Love this place! Brought the family here a month ago for my little girls birthday cause we heard they had karaōke. The food was so good and we had a blast singing! My daughter even got to sing and they sang happy birthday to her and gave her a birthday ice cream! Had a blast! Came in tonight for karaōke, beer and wings and man we’re they great and not puny like other places I’ve been! The staff is great too and awesome DJ/​KJ you gotta check it out!

I’m fairly new to Lancaster and I was considering trying this place, but after reading all the reviews and the employees responses I’m not going to waste my time or my money on a place like this. I can’t tell if it’s a restaurant or a strip club by some of the promotional materials pictures either. The owners should really consider the type of clientele they want and employ people who know what working Ina restaurant is about. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for many years and if I ever publicly responded like these employees did I’d be fired. I have found that the class of restaurants in the area are not worth experiencing. Even if a restaurant has mediocre quality the staff can really bring in the patrons with the service. This place obviously doesn’t care to be successful in any way. That’s a shame. I have yet to find any restaurants in the area that match up to the quality and service I am used to.

Great food, serves till 2am, crazy drink and food specials, nice vibe, great new place, gonna blow up soon

My response to Micah. Work harder to satisfy your customers and don’t lash out. Use that energy for positive change… Good luck…

This used to be Nicos Mexican Food, about 1 year ago it was bought out and the previous owner retired, the new owners have no clue of how to run a restaurant, they ripped our all the booths and also put in pool tables, they must be trying to turn into a biker bar? We have not been back and do not plan on it after eating here for over 30 years, anyway don’t waste your time, it truly went down the toilet.
I wanted to add that the other 2 posts are from employees so that should help you to make a decision about wether you want to eat here, I drove by the other night and there were no cars in the lot !!! Is that a sign?
