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.

“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?”

Thankfully, I discovered Sweet Cordelia’s on my drive home one day. Erica was very nice, responsive, and easy to work with.

“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.”

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!”

“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.”

“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...🤷♀️”

“Had a nice light dinner at Cafe Fresco in downtown Harrisburg. It's a cool spot with a good vibe. 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.”

“Chef Qui Musarra is one of the finest chefs in central PA. 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!”

Definitely a must if you like to 🍸.
Thank you”
Seafood • $$
“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 was feeling like I walked into a joint in NYC the minute I opened the door and when I saw the sever wearing a NY cap, I figured I was right on with a smile on my face.”

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.”

“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!”
Steak House • $$
“Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. Got the Ribeye. Grilled corn on the cob is amazing but a bit messy so bring wet wipes maybe? Only complaint was the asparagus was a bit overcooked.”
Chicken Wings • $$
“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!”

“Despite the location this is Harrisburg's best go to for Chinese food. Highly recommend the boneless rib tips combo. Also the hot spicy shrimp. Theses are my all time favorit choices. Give them a try.”

“Giselle was a very attentive waitress and made our time there more enjoyable. This El Rancho was previously a Bob Evans, and oddly enough, I was seated in the same exact area as the last time I visited the Bob Evans 4 years ago. Thank you again!”

“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.”

She took her time with us, responding to our questions and needs. I rerely do this but was so impressed that I found the manager and told her how impressed I was with Ella.”

“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.”

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.”

“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.”

“I absolutely love the food here, and the service is always wonderful. Every meal I’ve had has been delicious, and I genuinely enjoy every bite. I order from here often, and somehow I still always end up craving more.”
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.”

“😍 Coolest spot in town. Agape Elixir Bar has the best vibe, cozy, uplifting, and full of heart. The community is amazing and it’s such a refreshing alcohol alternative. A perfect place to hang, connect, and actually feel good after.”
Dessert
“Normally, I love coming here for the pastries because they are so good. Especially the mango, banana, and blueberry. However, I am a little disappointment with what they call the mini pastry box. It says pastry box but it should say ice cream box because that is what they were, straight up ice cream with a hard shell. I will not be ordering them again but will still come for the actual pastries. Attached is the photo with the mini PASTRY box where they actually look like the pastries but they are actually ice cream with a hard shell.”

“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.”

“Gave this place a chance on Door Dash and glad that we did. Their fried chicken is delicious. Seasoned just enough. Their honey biscuits…. 😍They are so delicious that we saved them as a dessert. Mashed potatoes were good, potato wedges excellent! Give them a chance, if it’s good via Door Dash, you know it’s got to be good in person.”

“A quick take out order, but the food was great. Like something special and worth taking the time to compliment them. The crab Rangoon was especially excellent as it was crispy, very full, and didn't get stodgy the next day. Still crisp and yummy! The place was nice and clean. The logo and materials were modern and hip. Much better than your average Asian food takeaway.”
“We came here for dinner after a tournament my daughter had today. Food was so so good . We had a brisket wood fire pizza , salad and my daughter had a chicken sandwich. We were waited on by Betsy . So nice and super helpful when it came to helping us pick from their menu / beer selection since it was our first time here . Would definitely recommend!”
