50 Best American Restaurants near Harrisburg

“We always enjoy eating at Bubba’s! Victoria was our server and was ABSOLUTELY amazing! She alone was a 10/10 with her service and hospitality.“

“We went in for dinner tonight. I got the side salad with the homemade ranch dressing. It was good. My husband and I split fries and they were delicious. I asked for a vodka cocktail recommendation and our server said the Pink Taco and it was really good. She was attentive and helpful. This is one of my husband's favorite spots, and I can usually find a vegetarian option. I know we will be back soon.“

“Love this place!! Great food and great service everytime!!“

“Always a great time here, they have a very full menu with lots to choose from. Old school feel but great service and the food is always fresh and hot, whether you want chicken, burgers, Italian, anything. They have almost everything you could ever want on the menu. I never regret going there, you can try something new everyday. Whether you dine in or take out it's always the best! Can be busy on the weekend so beware.“

“Food was ordered and ready in a short time . Staff friendly . Food is delicious 😋“

“I have been fan ifAJ’s for a long time. Today I was very disappointed! I ordered a flounder sandwich and onion rings that were so greasy I could barely eat it. I’ve had their flounder before and it was amazing , but today it was not! It was a to go order and I don’t live right around the corner or I would returned it. I ate what I could because I don’t like wasting food or money. Hope that whatever went wrong gets fixed.“

“This place is awesome! The food was great and the portions large! I had a really good cheeseburger! This place is also super clean and the staff is wonderful!“

“Great food and service! Would recommend! Will be going back when we’re in town.“

“Chex grill and wings 🥇 Soon all over the world“

“The owner went above and beyond. I had a large order and couldn't decide on what flavors. he brought out his recommendation and that's what I picked and it was very good and he also gave me fries and a lemonade that was really good. if I was so far away in Florida I would be going every weekend to eat. I would 💯 definitely recommend this place“

“I really enjoyed this combination of hookah lounge, sports bar, and tapas place. Very cool vibe, with great play list at just the right volume, great service and a yummy and diverse menu. My craft cocktail was so good, I got two! The wine selection is limited, so don't go for that, but what they do there, they do very well! The ventilation was excellent, so hookah users to interfere with others, the TV's are well placed and the decor is elevated but not stuffy. Will go back!“

“Charlotte’s hidden gem! The Vermont maple farm burger is probably my favorite burger I’ve ever eaten- and I’ve eaten a LOT of burgers over the years. Carol and staff are super friendly. Don’t forget to get some fresh fries too!“

“As someone born and raised in Buffalo, I don’t say this lightly…these are some of the best wings I’ve ever had. I’m in Charlotte for work and stumbled upon Buffalo Eatz, and wow. The Buffalo wings were perfectly crispy with that classic, legit sauce flavor that so many places miss. The barbecue wings were just as good…smoky, saucy, and not overly sweet. And the waffle fries with cheese? Absolute comfort food perfection: crispy, seasoned right, and cheese on the side. This place understands wings. If you’re craving real Buffalo flavor in Charlotte, this is it!! 🔥🍗“

“This is a great store.
It's one of the few fast food restaurants that's run by competent management. Seriously, every other fast food restaurant in this area (Huntersville, NC) has terrible service after 6:00 PM. Out of chocolate Frosties, cookies and Sprite at Wendy's, for example.
Highly recommend this Culver's for fast service and tasty food!!!“

“Drew Was amazing ill be back soon. Try the Benedict“

“I go here frequently. Always good cocktails and food. One of my favorites in the area!“

“Best place best food good prices“

“My all time favorite place! I have enjoyed South 21 for 35 years! I’m a creature of habit so I always order the chicken filet sandwich fried with french fries and of course a separate order of the famous onion rings! These o-rings are the ONLY ones I eat!! The staff is ALWAYS pleasant and courteous too!! My only wish is that it wasn’t 40 minutes away, but I still visit regularly!!“

“The Food was the best. Staff were amazing. Our Server Ameirah was the bomb !It was worth the 4 hr drive.“

“They’re really nice and friendly bartender“

“We had our first experience last night at Pump Social. We attended their shrimp boil. We also ordered some items off of the special event menu. The food was great. I loved their bread. There was live music and an overall lively atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.“

“So glad I found this place on our travels. Delicious food and friendly service. McKayla and Tony were wonderful!“

“Never a bad beer or a bad meal at BJ's. Always great. Tonight our waitress was Victoria. She ranks up there as one of the greatest waitresses I have had. Always punctual, always back at the table at the absolute best time. She does a great job of making certain her customers are doing well. Tip her well my fellow readers. Ask for one of her tables. You will enjoy the experience.“

“Me and my wife's first time eating here today on Saturday 6/13. Service was exceptional. Everyone was welcoming and willing to explain and share about the menu. Food was fresh and did not take long to prepare. They even came and got us from the car to let us know that our order was ready. We were also encouraged to check our plates to ensure that everything was correct. We appreciated that.

Food was really good. I had the seafood combo and she had chicken tips with rice + gravy. We had Mac and cheese, yams, fried okra, and greens as our sides and everything was delicious.

Only reason that we gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because our hush puppies and okra were fried a bit too hard to fully enjoy. But regardless

We will be back again! Wifey wants to pull back up tomorrow lol“

“Fresh chicken and crispy. Chicken was not fried in old grease or left out. Perfect seasoning. Staff friendly.“

“It's always a pleasure to eat at Sunrise Restaurant.“

“Friendly and engaging bartenders and waitstaff. Super cool locals in a very laid back setting. Wilmington's best place to watch Eagles football!“

“The food was okay but we waited over 1hr and 30 minutes for our food to come out. We ordered waters for the table and didn’t get that until 45 minutes later. Never again. The food was good but after the wait and the horrible service it definitely wasn’t worth it. On top of that they give very small portions. Like you’re telling me I have to wait that long and barely any food even came out? Yeah no cuzzos will not be seeing me again. They were talking about they ran out of dishes and then added 20 minutes to our wait. Overall not a great experience!“

“My mom and I ate here for the first time today. The prices were great for the amount of food. My mom had the spring salad with chicken and I had the Big Country croissant with sweet potato fries. I will order something else next time because the menu was very enticing.“

“Some of the cashier's have bad attitudes and the Hispanic waitress has a bad attitude she pick and choose who she wants to assist at the table and expects a tip I am big on tipping if the service and food is good. Some days you go and the food is delicious and some days the chicken is salty and dry and not to mention the fish.They need the old cooks and workers back that when the food was delicious. Y'all need to get it together Concord NC.“

“The food was great, and the service was also great! I will definitely be returning with more people. The atmosphere is also nice and the people are very helpfull and friendly!“

“I haven’t been to a TGI Fridays in so long!! I’m glad we came in though! Our bartender Mia was fantastic! She gave us so many recommendations and chatted with us throughout the night. Definitely recommend sitting down if she’s behind the bar!“

“Service with Fee was amazing. He was very attentive and friendly. Food came quickly , however portions were kind of small for the price but the taste was good. Salad bar was fresh and delicious. No one greeted us when we walked in. After about 2 minutes we were asked “how many” then asked “do you mind sitting at the bar?” I was in disbelief she had asked that considering we had children with us. I would be open to trying this location again since it’s been a while since I’ve been to a Ruby Tuesdays only because of the great service we received from Fee.“

“Stopped here on my way home to Greensboro from Charlotte. Ordered 2 appetizers (pulled pork egg rolls & tator tots topped w/ their DE-licious beef brisket) and they were good sized portions. The tator tots were my absolute favorite! My new favorite bbq spot!!“

“Good food and awesome service.“

“My ONLY complaint about Dario’s is that it’s entirely too close to my house. 😂 Riding past this place every day has turned temptation into a guilty pleasure because it takes everything in me not to stop!

Dario’s is seriously a gem & such a great addition to the Harrisburg area. In a world where so many restaurants start to feel like different versions of the same thing, I love having a place nearby that actually stands out. And the best part? The food is CONSISTENTLY good. I’ve started making it a point to try something different each time I go, and I have yet to order something I didn’t enjoy.

The cheeseburger pita?! 🤌🏽 The onion rings?! Some of the best. The all beef hot dogs are delicious, and that soft potato bread takes everything to another level. And please don’t get me started on the butter pecan ice cream because I could literally stop by just for that. 😂

Everything always tastes fresh, the portions are huge & there’s enough variety on the menu that you can keep coming back without ordering the same thing every time.

At this point, I’ve accepted that living this close to Dario’s is both a blessing and a threat to my self control. If you’re staring at the menu wondering what to get, just pick something. Seriously. You can’t make a wrong decision here!“

“Good food at a very reasonable price, friendly staff provide excellent service.“

“We finished our tour of the track and decided to take the advice of the tour guide and have lunch at the Club the service was excellent, the food was phenomenal and the views were spectacular. We had the club burgers and chicken and waffles. So glad we did this. Aubrey was the best. Thank you.“

“Wow. My husband comes here about 4 days a week for lunch, and now I see why! Amazing food, huge portions and excellent customer service, CHEAP!! Tons of choices. Just GO! Thank me later ☺️“

“Good food was so amazing hot fresh definitely recommend friendly people we enjoyed it“

“The Food is good but if I'm paying $15+ for Shrimp and Grits then give more grits at least!! That portion was 1 spoon spread over the plate Geez!! The Mango Peach Bellini was good. And my Server was Great!!“

“I love that you can seat yourself, the Waiters are polite, the food is great and the Cashiers are friendly. However, I am disappointed that customers are being charged for a glass of water.“

“Incredible food and amazing service! Burgers were cooked to perfection, the house cut fries are super delicious, and the elote street corn dip was to die for!“

“We went to Longhorn right during the dinner service. The AC was out but everyone was still super friendly. We were sat immediately. Our server was Tasia J and we will definitely be back. She knew what we needed before we even asked. I had the ribeye and it was VERY HEAVILY peppered to the point I couldn’t eat it. I didn’t want to send it back since I had several bites. I asked Tasia if it was always like that and she said no. She took it back for me and got a new one with light seasoning. She was absolutely AMAZING. We will definitely return!“

“Best place around to eat at, family owned and the company and food is amazing!“

“Most excellent brew pub around with knowledgeable & gorgeous beer goddesses!“

“Awesome food, great service. Absolutely love this place!“

“I’ve been a loyal “Crabby Tuesday” customer at Full Moon in Concord for years, but the new pricing has made it tough to continue my weekly tradition. The All You Can Eat snow crab legs jumped from $69 to $90—a 30% increase—while the 1 1/2 lbs deal stayed at $45, and the 3 lbs option rose 10%, from $59 to $65. The 1 1/2 lbs deal is $30 per pound, the 3 lbs is $21.67 per pound, and the All You Can Eat (I ate 3 lbs) is $30 per pound. The less you eat, the more it costs per pound, which feels like it punishes lighter eaters. At $90, the crab legs aren’t top-of-the-line; they’re often smaller, not uniform, and harder to crack. I’d pay that if they were premium quality, but they’re not. I get that every batch can’t be perfect due to variables, but I expect more consistency at this price. With crab-stuffed oysters, my check hit $150, plus 18-20% gratuity, totaling $185-$190 after tipping. I can get a steak dinner for $100-$120 or a seafood buffet at the beach for $60 with better value—crab legs there are cracked well, even if it’s a four-hour drive. I didn’t notice the increase until the check—I didn’t check the board since I knew the old prices. That’s on me, but a social media announcement would’ve helped; I saw nothing on their page. Crystal (manager) said tariffs on imported seafood are driving the increase, but it doesn’t add up. If tariffs were the main cause, all crab specials should’ve risen by a similar percentage, not just the All You Can Eat by 30%, while the 1 1/2 lbs deal had no increase and the 3 lbs only went up 10%. Crystal and Darren (server) were the highlights—phenomenal! Crystal’s warmth and professionalism make every visit special; her smile and leadership make Full Moon feel like home. Darren was attentive, friendly, and a joy, keeping everything seamless with a fun energy. They’re outstanding, and the pricing isn’t their fault—they’re gold! The atmosphere is lively with bar-style seating, perfect for a crab feast, but pricing is impacting business—few ordered All You Can Eat this time. Friends at the Jamestown location also stopped ordering crab due to pricing. Maybe host “Crabby Tuesday” every other week? I’ll drop to once a month. 3/5 stars for great service but poor value“

“Best Fries in University City, you would be insulting the cook to place any sauce on these well seasoned fresh out the grease fries. Don't order this on DoorDash! Go get them fresh! Better then Popeyes, Wendy's, Burger King and Macfake fries!“
