We've been here twice recently for take-out, and had great experiences both times. The food is great and the cashiers were very friendly.

We visited on a very quiet Friday evening and had a great fish sandwich. It is a tad dated but the service was friendly and fast. Might try the big pieces of cake next time we stop in. Parking was plentiful, easy in and out.

XTREME GAMING

Food was “okay” but a few things I didn't like was being charged $1 extra on each entree that had onion rings when the entrees said they came with two sides. The girl taking our order didn't tell us there was an extra charge for the onion rings, but I'm wondering why the charge in the first place when the onion rings were a normal side...and again, both plates came with two sides. ?? Also, something else we weren't told was having to pay a 4% fee to use a debit/credit card. We chose to go to this restaurant due to the good reviews and seemingly reasonable prices on the menu we read online, but I just don't like the extra charges on sides that appear to be included with the meal and not being told beforehand about it, as well as the charge we would have due to using a debit card. They need to be forthcoming with these things before paying. I shouldn't have to see it after the fact by looking at the receipt. We let it go, just not sure if we will be going back since we can eat many other places for that amount of money. The whole point of going there was trying to save some money and the food was pretty bland.

Lots of options. Fair prices. Bring cash as they too want to add 4% for credit/debit card.

Ajs used to be such a yummy place to eat, there chicken tenders used to be great and hand breaded, there ranch used to be homemade, and there spaghetti sauce used to be sooo yummy and great. But since new management they've obviously taken short cuts and that's sad. Jimmy definitely needs to come back and save ajs before it's too late.

If you like "home cooked" meals, this is the place to go. A diner, old school. The service was better than most chain restaurants.

Be aware of their hidden fees... We placed an order on Grubhub.Their food is pretty good but if you ask for an extra dressing they will (try)/ take advantage of you without letting you know. We ordered the chicken strip dinner, 4 pieces and a chef salad. I requested a ranch dressing (1) for the chicken strips and an extra (1) ranch dressing for the chef’s salad. The order was delivered just fine and was correct.I looked at the receipt this morning and noticed they had added an extra charge for the TWO ranch dressings... the charge for TWO small 2oz. ranch dressings were $8.75...!!! Really...? That is a complete rip off...!!! I called Grubhub and they said yes, that was a complete rip-off, and they kindly refunded the amount plus tax in the amount of $9.48 and charged AJ’s back that amount.AJs attempted to charge me $45.39 for a salad and 4 chicken strips.... We will not be ordering from them again and if you do, please be aware and check your receipt for their hidden charges that they try to slip in without letting you know...! This should be illegal....

AJs is what we country girls call a hole in the wall! And I say that with the utmost respect. I love AJs. The have fast service and great food. The staff is always pleasant regardless if you place a phone order, come inside, or pull up in the drive up. They have a number of options. My favorites are chicken tips over rice, the fish sandwich, and the burgers. If you're in Harrisburg you should definitely try this spot out. It's a locals favorite. Google the restaurant and look at images to see the menu.

Have been eating at AJ's for over 20 years. I cannot think of Harrisburg and not equate AJ's in the same thought. It was a go-to for all the years I brought my children up and I live over 45 minutes from there now but still make a trip as often as possible. My favorite dish is the Spaghetti. It is hands down the best I've ever had anywhere or even make at home. I wish you had more locations :) The service is always top-notch. The ambiance is clean, friendly, where you will generally always see someone you know. We love you AJ's. Thank you for 20 years of memories.
