Restaurants by Cuisine
Chinese • $$
“This authentic Chinese Restaurant is a fantastic addition to the otherwise dull fare of "quick joints" in Harrisburg . Unique menu with something for everyone. Dishes, in ample portions, are served "family style" at the center of the table on a glass "Lazy Susan". No need to pick up and pass, just turn. and add to your plate. Front of house Service is very attentive and always at the ready. Very friendly and will explain the cuisine. We were a party of 7 and each one of us enjoyed our meal and experience. this place is a gem. Poultry, Fish, Pork, and vegan options are available. Exotic fare is also on the menu. This place is great and I hope they are here to stay! Families and kids are welcomed. BYOB.”

“We were blessed to find Coda Rouge this past Monday. Every aspect of our experience there was so welcoming. The building has such a rich history to it as documented by the magnificent mural on the side of the building. All rooms are filled with beautiful work of local artists. The staff and the food are both wonderful. The Mother and Father of the owner/chef shared the history and stories behind the building and the menu. We were gifted delicious mimosas and our food was so tasty and well prepared. We live in NYC and come through Harrisburg at least once a year. We definitely will be back to Coda Rouge.”

“Clown Around Town is AMAZING! We had him for a Birthday party. He was so amazing with the kids. One of the kiddos has sensory issues and had a break down after the piñata and he was under the Tripod. Clown Around Town just kept it up didn't push the kiddo to get him moved, he just moved onto the next activity. After the kiddo moved then he was able to take the tripod down. He didn't ask questions or get mad. Also my son is Autistic and he was just so generous with him, he even let my son "take orders." It was amazing how he just went with the flow and didn't let anything hold him up. Such an amazing guy! We love Clown Around Town!????”
Cafe • $
“Awesome place and with awesome patrons. Bartenders are 80% great but don't get the youngest in evenings. Love the brotherhood and friends. Tons of memories and cheap small pints. You get barred because of liars and the bartender riding the cycle. Not for real and documented stuff. Care to talk yet?”

“It's really close to Danville medical center. This is our McDonald's of choice when we're visiting Danville medical center. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, but also today I learned they're very forgetful at 3:00. In the afternoon they forgot my $4 medium fries over my would have been cheaper choice of $3.29 fry a small but before I left the door I checked my bag and realized everything was in there except for the fries. Got out to my car. Started to eat my Big Mac. I like it. Well done. I don't like it blackened and burnt but the more I order these well done. The more awk it feels like they're like okay. He wants it burn it. No I don't want to burn. I don't want it tan. I want it well done. McDonald's please get it together too. It's not just stand around McDonald's. It's clean up in Penn State territory. You need to solve it. We don't want burnt Burger we only want well done burger! After I stood at the counter and waited for 5 minutes, they finally got the attention of me and said oh, what did we miss your French file? Let me guess it was your french fries. Yes, you missed my medium french fries. It cost $4. Yes you did all right. Hold on a second and she acted like she was running over to the fry thing. The fryer I thought. Oh well, at least they're going to be fresh fries. The young man looked at me. Funny. Looked at the floor. Looked at the manager looked at the floor. Looked at me. It was like. Yep. Here's your fries. I got out to the car. The fries were cold and hard. Not only did they forget them they gave me old fries cold and hard. I don't know other times I've stopped here over the last 20 years. Service was great. I don't know what changed. Just my honest opinions this time in 2026”

“I first learned about the Soup Guy during the pandemic. I didn't order from him until this summer. From my very first order this year, I wish I had been supporting him since I first learned of him 3 years ago! Great food, great portions, good selections, very reasonably priced! My favorite is his Creamy Chicken and Wild rice soup. He outdid the "P"' chain's soup of that flavor! Give the Soup Guy a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all!”

“We were excited to visit this highly rated Coffee Shop for the first time. When we arrived from out of town we were unable to find accessible parking. There were steps up to the entrance which also made it complicated for our 2 wheelchair guests. The place looks so unique & cool, so I’ll definitely return to scope it out on my own to see if I can come back with my physically disabled guests.”

“Best ice cream anywhere. Everybody that works there are fast and very friendly.”
“Tiny ice cream shop. With a struggling AC. The girl behind the counter sweetly served all 24 of us! (We had called ahead) the scoop sizes varied a little, but I’m not complaining. We were a lot of people!
There is only 2 tables for seating. I’d like try one of the other locations, cause the ice cream was fabulous! They just need more seating, and the entire space was kinda cluttered. I’ll probably be back, cause I really appreciate high quality ice cream, but I don’t recommend coming with more than 5-6 people. And I’d consider this a takeout only.”

“The wedding cake was the last item on my to do list and I did not know where to start. Every bakery quote I received ranged between $500 and $1,200 for the same size and style. Thankfully, I discovered Sweet Cordelia’s on my drive home one day. Erica was very nice, responsive, and easy to work with. The tasting process was so much fun and we were able to pick the perfect combination. The price point was amazing and we were so happy with how the cake looked and tasted. Definitely recommend.”

“Ate dinner there about a week ago. Food was good but their telephone rang at top volume the entire time we were there making it difficult to talk or enjoy our meal. Complained to waitress who said it had to be that way so they could hear in the back for take out orders. The restaurant was far from busy for in house dining so I guess the owner doesn't care about us; only the take out customers! I have eaten here for years and tried to support them during covid but never again.”

“Absolutely LOVE Lovedraft's! The food is 🤤...on another level! I don't drink much beer, but they often have some Sours on tap and I've yet to have one of those that I didn't enjoy. And with a full bar, they've got it covered for whatever your poison happens to be. The vibes in this place are incredible! Absolutely the best staff you'll ever encounter and I've never had anything but positive interactions with others when attending a show here. AND THE SHOWS!?!?!? As someone who loves Metal music, I am beyond grateful for everything that Lovedraft's has done for the Metal community in the area. I seriously never would have imagined seeing any of the bands so close to home that I have been able to see at Lovedraft's. No words could ever do good enough justice to the amount of gratitude I have for that, and for everyone who has made this happen. You've got my support for a lifetime (or at least until someone sticks me in the locked unit of a Nursing Home 😅😬...🏥🚑👵🛑🔒)! Please don't ever disappear!!!🤘🎶🩶 ...basically, if you like delicious food, awesome people, great (heavy!) live music in a unique atmosphere, and you've got an open mind/enjoy things outside the "norm," you're missing out if you haven't stopped by Lovedraft's yet. But hey, do whatever you want, it's your loss...🤷♀️”

The staff and our waitress were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The appetizers were a highlight, really delicious, and the pizza was solid too, though not quite as memorable as the starters. Overall a great spot for a relaxed dinner.”

There isn't a dish I wouldn't recommend, but if I had to give recognition to one dish I would tell you that "Il Toscano" (the Tuscan Rib-eye) should be on your must have list. When available, the Chuleta and Percebes are also on that list. Mangia!”

Haitian • $$
“The rice was the fluffiest, most flavorful rice I've had thus far. I can eat it plain w/o sauce. It was my first time having haitian mac & chz, and it did not disappoint. It looked, and tasted like there was ground turkey, and red peppers in it. Absolutely delicious! The turkey was scrumptious, and plantains were fine, but the soursop drink was incredible! It I felt like I was drinking the juice from the fruit itself. The fries were cooked nicely, and salted, but the beet salad...I never knew how amazing beets could taste! It was literally perfect!
The pikliz!!! I can talk all day, and night about the pikliz! Out of all the haitian restaurants I've tried, its number one in my book. It was the perfect spice level, and the flavor was on point. I can eat the pikliz plain. Also, the sauce was so delicious I could drink it as juice lol.
The atmosphere was relaxed, and laid back. I like that the lights were low which created a nice vibe. There was also a smaller section available for a private dining experience.
The service was incredible! The host took the time to explain everything to me, and allowed me to see the food before purchasing to make sure its what I wanted.
The restroom could use some work, but other than that, no complaints! I highly recommend, and I'll definitely return to try more!”

“My experience was very good until the next day I realized that the $12.15 tip (15%) that I had left the waiter (Deandre) was changed to $15. I don't mind fighting over almost $3 but it is a complete lack of respect and if they did it to me they do it to many other customers, always check. I have the evidence.”

“I recently held a surprise party for my wife along with 14 friends guests using Suba as the venue. I could not be happier with the service, quality of food, and space provided. We had plenty of room, amazing food, and access to bartender. Staci and her staff did an amazing job for us. We loved it! I highly recommend Suba to anyone considering a party or get together. You won’t be disappointed.”

“I’m usually not one to write reviews but hopefully this will save someone time. We came on a Sunday, around 5pm and were only the 2nd family dining in the sushi bar area. It took about 30 minutes just to get one plate of sashimi. Our 2nd sushi roll took about 10 more minutes to come out and then by the time the 3rd roll was ready, our waiter was outside smoking and it just sat there until he finished his smoke break. We were given one napkin and had to ask for chopsticks. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.”
Steak House • $$
“I prefer Longhorn over Texas Roadhouse, hands down. The service was excellent and atmosphere was also very nice. What brings it down a bit is how the patrons come in there with sweatpants and yoga pants. This is a Steakhouse, not your local Planet Fitness.”
Italian • $$
“This place is really delicious as far as a chain restaurant goes. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted really wonderful. I highly recommend the cheese sticks, they are outrageously good! If you haven't been to an Olive Garden in a while you've got to go back to this location - it's really good!”
Chicken Wings • $$
“I order from this place often, the wings are fantastic, despite all the negative reviews, they know how to make wings. Do not judge a book by its cover, the fry situation is a little disappointing as far as portions go. Yet everything else is fantastic!”
Bar • $$
“They definitely did a good job with the recent renovations in the back section. Pong, pool, darts, dance floor, DJ. Everything you need to have a good night out. Smoking is allowed and the atmosphere can definitely get exhilarating.”

“Very nice people, clearly seems to be a family business, which we love to support. Their bubble teas turned me into a fanatic, and my only regret is that I live 3 hours away from here. I would be here possibly weekly or more if I could be. Give them a try! :) Thanks for the great matcha, my friend.”

“Ate dinner there about a week ago. Food was good but their telephone rang at top volume the entire time we were there making it difficult to talk or enjoy our meal. Complained to waitress who said it had to be that way so they could hear in the back for take out orders. The restaurant was far from busy for in house dining so I guess the owner doesn't care about us; only the take out customers! I have eaten here for years and tried to support them during covid but never again.”

“Ordered my food and went in to pick it up. Never knew their prices were in line with the working man's pocket. On top of that, ordered a chicken pasta and cheese sticks. Every bite was so good it made me jump for joy while looking for my momma to slap her. Definitely my new spot. Its a bonus the lady at the counter who got my food was easy on the eyes and very friendly.”

Chinese • $$
“This authentic Chinese Restaurant is a fantastic addition to the otherwise dull fare of "quick joints" in Harrisburg . Unique menu with something for everyone. Dishes, in ample portions, are served "family style" at the center of the table on a glass "Lazy Susan". No need to pick up and pass, just turn. and add to your plate. Front of house Service is very attentive and always at the ready. Very friendly and will explain the cuisine. We were a party of 7 and each one of us enjoyed our meal and experience. this place is a gem. Poultry, Fish, Pork, and vegan options are available. Exotic fare is also on the menu. This place is great and I hope they are here to stay! Families and kids are welcomed. BYOB.”
Cafe • $
“I recently stopped by Wake & Bake Cafe and had such a good experience. I ordered the cinnamon spiced latte and a chocolate chip cookie, and both were done really well. The latte had the perfect balance just the right amount of cinnamon, enough sweetness without being overpowering, and the foam on top was especially smooth and well-crafted. You can tell care went into it. The chocolate chip cookie was soft and warm, especially in the center, with that slight saltiness that really brings out the flavor. It’s one of those simple items that’s easy to overlook, but this one stood out. The atmosphere is a big part of what makes this place memorable. It has a creative, artsy feel with subtle 90s nostalgia things like vintage cameras and decor that give it personality without feeling overdone. One thing I appreciated right away was the bathroom location it’s right at the front when you walk in, which is super convenient. Location-wise, it’s right across from the State Capitol, making it easy to find. There’s street parking, but it was still convenient and didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, it’s a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for a cozy place with strong drinks, good treats, and a unique vibe.”
Halal • $
“Amazing and quick. Ordered the chickens and lamb on rice while just down the road and was ready in less than 10 minutes for me to pick up. Got it home and dug in and it was amazing. Wife is a little more hesitant to try some stuff. She tried this and loved it. Full of flavor. We will def be getting this again. Highly recommend.”

Bubble Tea
“I got a Protein Brown Sugar Boba after a gym workout.
The barista was nice and told me the boba would take a bit of time to finish cooking. As a barista, I understand the importance of patience and transparency about items that are readily available.
In comparison to other protein whey beverages, it was a delightful drink. The warm gooey, fresh boba was delicious. Also, I was given a large size instead of the small that I ordered, perhaps due to the positive interaction or wait time. Either way, I appreciated it and gave my thanks.”

“Can't say enough about the food and people at Laki. I started coming here over a year ago after getting a new job and its been an absolute staple in my weekly food rotation. The Pork Thupka is the absolute best in the area and nobody does it like them. They recently renovated the restaurant adding tons of space for dining and events. This place is an absolute gem and the world needs to know about them!!! Ill be a customer for life.”
