“My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch after a job we were diog in the area. It was a good choice for lunch and he mentioned that we should come back with our wives for dinner.We had a very nice view of the river and their outdoor dining area.The dining room was very clean and so was the men's room.Our service was very good.Our food came out quickly and looked enticing. I wasn't sure how my buddy was going to eat his piled high Jalapeño burger! I had the French onion steak skittet. The steak was not the quality that I expected from Duke's but was just okay. The rest of the dish was really good. Personally I think that same dish made with a Philly cheese steak meat would be just as impressive. I may try to duplicate it at hame using shaved steak.Overall we had a great experience and hope to return soon. You should try this place out. I think you'll enjoy it.“
“We had a family event here with about 25 people. I had never been here and we booked it based on the website and on-line reviews. We had an excellent experience and I would recommend this place to all. The food was excellent and the service was great. It was nice to have such a pleasant experience having never been here.“
“gave this a try around 7:30pm (30 min before closing) and they were SO nice, so excited for us to try their food. We had the jhol chicken momo and pani puri! Both were so delicious, really hot and fresh which was perfect for our to-go order. Mango lassi was delicious and pretty good sized cup! We can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu and enjoy the traditional seating area!Kid-friendliness: Food friendly options for all ages to try Nepalese cuisine“
“Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Philly and running down to the corner deli to get a cheesesteak. Nice to have an actual authentic Philly cheesesteak place in central PA. Also great there is a Philadelphia pretzel factory right next door.“
“First time dining here. I'm very hungry due to a lack of breakfast in the hotel... smh. All things work together for good, however, as this breakfast at Titos was worth the wait. Pleasant atmosphere, timely service. I believe I had my meal inside of 7 minutes from seating to service. Sizeable pancakes and condiments are plentiful without the need to ask. More napkins would be great, but then they had honey for my hot tea (a rarity)! Overall, I'm glad I came, now ready to complete my tasks... ????“
“This little, unassuming, homey place has the BEST food and the waitstaff is DELIGHTFUL. My favorite restaurant in the Harrisburg area, and I don't think you can find a better steak anywhere on the east coast. I look forward to eating here every single time I'm in town :)“
“I come here almost every Thursday night! I love their cream chipped beef! The best I ever had! All their food is fantastic though! Its all homemade! Great breakfast!!! It's a must especially on the latest night you have! They are open 24 hours! Love them! Worth the trip from harrisburg. Waffle house is way too packed at 2 am. Go here!!“
“Placed an order online for pickup. I arrived 10 minutes prior to the pickup time I’d set. My order was already ready and waiting on a regular counter. Unsure how long it’d been sitting there.Nevertheless, the pizza I got was delicious. It is the Kennett Square mushroom pizza. The crust has a bit of seasoning which is a nice touch. Leftovers have been just as good.I’ll have to dine in next time and see how service is.“
“Small hole in the wall feel. Food was good. Next time I could use some salt on the fries. I had their prime rib sandwhich. The toasted buns really made that sandwich stand out and it was very tasty! Definitely will be going back to try their award winning wings! I will make an update once I try them. Overall, I would definitely recommend and curious to see how it is when I go back.“
“Genuinely some of the best food I have ever eaten. You can really tell the chefs put effort into every dish. They have a great coffee selection as well, and a ton of fresh baked goods made in house! Bri was very helpful on the front end and Chef Maret made some great recommendations. Highly recommend this spot for your brunch/lunch needs.“
“It has been some time since we stopped by Reeser's--I think we were coming back from a tubing trip--so we were all hot and in good spirits from the days adventures. We saw a sign for ice cream--smashed the brakes and whipped the Honda Pilot into the parking lot. We were thrilled by what we found--the sundaes(?) were creative and I recall lots of fresh fruit. We love walk up ice cream spots like this... will return if we are in the area.“
“Best diner in the area. I've been going here going on 10 years I believe. The staff is always pleasant. The food is fantastic and you can't beat the prices. It gives you a mom and pop feel eating here and those are some of the best experiences when dining if you ask me. Highly recommend.Parking: This place stays pretty busy so parking is usually scarce and you may need to park on the street if the lot is full.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Me and my now 5 year old comes here every other weekend.“
“Ridiculously good 'pub food'. Black bean quinoa burger was one of the best I've had and the fruit side was full of fresh, sweet fruit. Decent craft beer selection as well! Cannot underscore value. For what you get, this is VERY affordable.Vegetarian options: Yummy!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“Plenty of parking for this diner. The food was really good. I had the Greek spinach pie and small Greek salad, very tasty and a nice portion. Granddaughter loves hot dogs, french fries and chocolate milk. The Summit made it just right she said.“

“Super server Kylee made the experience wonderful. This is a step above normal pub food, on par with BWW. You won't leave hungry. Large menu. I suggest the burger even though they are known for their wings. Fair prices. Lots of TV screens which makes it a great spot for sports.“
“Sophia's has a welcoming and quaint atmosphere, the best homemade specialties for brunch, and lunch and dinner made by Sophia herself! This gem of a restaurant has great service and also the most delicious desserts along with a great cup of coffee!☕️“
“THIS is a diner! As such you will not receive gourmet plates. However you will receive decent food at an incredible price. Burgers, breakfast, specials, desserts... All good (and possibly covered in copious amounts of gravy). You can't go wrong here. Even if it were possible, you'd be out less than $10. What's not to like?EDIT for 2023 - prices have, of course, edged up a bit, but this place is still a bargain and still worth stopping by.“
“I love coming to mellow minded for lunch, quality ingredients at a reasonable price. I always get the turkey club with a lemon mint tea, both are delicious. The waitstaff is friendly and food comes out quickly even when they're busy. Sitting outside on their patio is the best on a nice day, lots of seating both inside and out and some cute decor inside.“
“We got seated in what they call the outside. It's not an uncovered outside area and they keep it pretty warm. Normally someone performs music in this spot, so it's where you want to be if you want entertainment.It actually was comfortable and the food was delicious. We had an excellent server that was friendly and funny.The atmosphere is your normal bar scene with lots of noise, but that's normal. If anything, I was expecting it to be louder.I enjoyed my time with my wife and her friend.“

“i had an issue where the server charged me for two sodas and an iced tea with my meal. i only ordered the meal and a water. i told her before she ran my card, and still she messed it up. my card was charged for things i didn’t order or eat. i called in and it was made right by Randy. he was very polite and a pleasure to deal with“
“We used the Elks Lodge for a luncheon after a family funeral. We could not have been more pleased! We met with Marisa late on a Friday. The reception was the following Tuesday. Everything we talked about was done and the room looked awesome. I highly recommend this place!“
“Stopped in to grab a casual dinner. It’s reminiscent of an Irish pub with dining. They even have a little fireplace in the back- it may be electric but still a nice touch. My server Ari was so sweet and attentive. She took great care of me. It’s customer service like this that makes me come back and tell others. I ordered the Cesar salad with grilled chicken. It was a large portion and tasted great. She even sold me to bring some house made berry cheesecake with me for later tonight. Pricing was reasonable, service was great, and the vibe was great. What’s not to like?“
“After a day of traveling, we were happy to find Black and Bleu. It was early on Friday night and the parking lot was packed, a good sign. The crab ravioli was delicious. The ravioli was made with crab, topped with a lovely cream sauce, spinach and more crab, all of which seemed high quality. It was delicious and a great value at $18. Back home, it would have at least been a $30 dish! The service was quick and friendly. We’d definitely recommend!“
“What a lucky find! We stopped en route to Maryland and they could not have been nicer. The service was fantastic, and they were able to accommodate the disabled members of my family without question or hesitation, even opening a different section of the restaurant for us to all be able to sit at a table together. The food was brought out quickly, our drink refills were ready before we even asked, and I had the best diner burger I've had in years. I highly recommend this place!!“
“The locally renowned crab cake was as good as usual for my wife. The lobster roll was amazing considering I have tried them all over the United States and it ranks in the top three! Top notch waitress with good memorization skills and very timely.“
“My husband and I went here to try the lemon ricotta pancakes, and they did not disappoint. The only thing I would change is less lemon curd on top for us it was too much. My husband got the morning meditation drink, and he said it had strong flavors but was very good. Overall, it is a great little place that serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Has a rustic farm theme, which really helps enhance the fresh flavors they offer. Will be going back to try more.“
“Had a great brunch here with my mom! I got the eggs Benedict and mom got the veggie skillet. Both were delicious! For drinks I got the espresso martini, which was good, but our fav was the Lusca. It had a nice kick to it! Highly recommend! Will def be coming back with hubby.“
“Very friendly service. Sub rolls were exceptional. Turkey was tender as well as great quality pickles for sub. Pizza had quality ingredients, didn't taste anything off, crust is thin, easy to eat, got a good amount of air pockets in the dough so nice and crisp.“
“I must say, my son has great taste. Intrigued by the sign saying simply, Restaurant, my son screamed for us to go there for dinner so we took a chance. From the moment you step in, you get a rustic, classic vibe. The booths are roomy and the staff, friendly and caring.The food was amazing. I had their chicken cordon Bleu and I must say, it melted in my mouth. The mushroom sauce was just the right touch. It's a savory, mouth watering, satisfying dish that I can't wait to come back for. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again. Did I mention that it's affordable?“
“I had been wanting to try Thea since they opened and finally had a chance to go for dinner last night. Overall, Thea was a great experience! The appetizers were my favorite. We got the calamari and fried buratta (which was a special). My entree was the meatloaf which wasn't as great as I had hoped, but also not bad. I want to go back and try a pasta dish next time and also dessert (they all sounded fantastic). Reservations recommended and BYOB!“
“For years I have passed by this place and never stopped in . This morning I got to try O'Reilly's and went for breakfast. I didn't know they even served breakfast until this morning when my friend suggested we give this place a try. I always thought it was an Irish pub only severing lunches, dinners and bar food / drink stuff. Well, they also serve a good breakfast! The place is very nice and clean. The food was very good, I had the fresh fruit pancakes & my friend had one of the breakfast sandwiches w/ roasted potatoes. We both enjoyed our meals. I am definitely coming back again for breakfast and I would love to try the dinner menu. Our waiter recommended the Chili and the some of the smoked meats. 4.5 stars to our waiter! (sorry I do not remember his name?) I will update my rating once I try the dinner menu.“
“This family owned restaurant is quite a statement. At the first glance no one would guess what treasure it is...All their food is cooked from scratch, right there, on the spot. Delicious dishes, very well presented.The tomatoe soup was garnished with pesto, giving it a fantastic refreshing flavor. The octopus was tenderly cooked and served on a bed of potatoes and capers. Very original...This stop was very rewarding and refresing, and for this reason I would like to give credit where credit is due.“
“This is the place for superior service as well as healthy delicious food. The variety of dishes satisfies a diverse set of palates. The ambiance is also great with adequate backgrounds for pictures or just viewing. Parking is readily available closer to the front door. The booths are comfortable too!Vegetarian options: Grain whole food plant based dishes“
“I enjoyed my experience here last week. Our server, I believe Kelly (blonde/purple hair) was on top of everything and took great care of our large party. Food was delicious! Perfect variety on menu, and beyond reasonable prices! Easy parking as well. I would return, and I highly recommend to anyone in/near or passing through Harrisburg!“

“I will start this review out saying that I had been looking forward to visiting this place for weeks! That said my expectations were pretty high. I love their root beer and every time I come to PA I grab multiple six packs to take home. That said the experience of the restaurant was kind of lackluster. The food was pretty good, thank God they had a vegetarian option to switch out Patty's on the burger, that was a huge plus. However we arrived with a six year old and no children's menus were ever supplied, we had to ask if they had anything for kids, which we found out they do have kids menus, which made my kid happy, however we didn't see the menu itself just ordered the chicken strips off of it. The server was nice and helpful but not very attentive. I had asked if I could buy the glasses that our drinks were in, a good cheap souvenir for 3.50 a pop! I was pleased at that. At the end of our visit I had paid our bill with the QR code and apparently the site didn't charge me the correct amount so I had to pay again. However my bank showed three transactions. They told me two had been voided and to wait a couple of days for it to be refunded. That ordeal is why I gave four stars, since it was kind of annoying if their tech is not up to par why offer it?All in all I will go back just bc I love the root beer. Hopefully their tech issues will be resolved next time.“
“This place is awesome. They have a little bit of everything. Great food, pool tables, live DJ, comedy nights, and nightly specials. Natalie and Allison really take care of their customers and provide top notch service. Definitely recommend getting a drink from them at the bar. Always a great time and good crowd every time I go. The steak blows me away every time.“
“Such a wonderful diner. We were so excited to find this place after Crave on Rt.22 closed down. Same owners same wonderful service! The vibe is different than Crave, but that's as expected because this is a diner.We just love it here! We pop by after church while our kids are doing their Sunday School classes. So if you only have an hour you can still get your food and enjoy it.We've also ordered online and just gone to pick up and the service is fast!“
“This place has some of the best pizza in the Harrisburg area! The subs are also great and the Philly Cheesesteak is awesome! The large is absolutely massive! It also has one of the cleanest kitchens you will see and I had worked in the restaurant industry for years.“
“Oh my goodness what a beautiful setting, friendly service, and The. Food. Y'all. I had the Mambo Italiano... ridiculous bread with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese, pickled onions, and spinach. Delicious! My guy got a black and blue burger... huge, juicy, delicious! Our neighbors let us know we must come back for the pork chops... can't wait!“
“We stopped in on a Sunday early evening for live music and had a couple drinks, no food. The building is historic which makes this a really cool spot. There was a banquet room and bar on the second floor with a wraparound balcony that was accessible. The upstairs was closed for service at the time we visited. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed. The bartender was personable and attentive. They did just also open a coffee shop with limited hours and I will be back to check that out. Nice stop for beverage or quick bite to eat if you are hiking Hawk Rock or the AT and a place to sleep if you need.“
“Great little "hole in the wall" pub. Absolutely AMAZING roast beef au ju. Tender and juicy, nice crusty sub roll with your favorite cheese. I add horseradish or the horseradish "Tiger" sauce. Been to the Grotto several times, and honestly haven't ordered anything else because the roast beef is just that good! Great and friendly service too. Go to the Grotto Pub, get the roast beef, have a Guinness to go with it, you will not be disappointed, guaranteed!“
“Food was great and portions were very generous. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was so good.. The server said that they were both made fresh in house daily and you could tell. I ended up taking half mine home there was so much. Prices felt a little high for a "diner" but in the end you really did get your money's worth. Will definitely go again.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere. They do have a kids menu and crayons, which kept my littles occupied. Food also arrived very quickly for the entire table, which was great with two hungry kids waiting.“
“We had reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner and the experience could not have been any better. Our server was friendly and attentive. The drinks were very good. The food was absolutely delicious. I had been here before and knew the food was good so I was expecting that and was not disappointed. We would have tried dessert but we had other plans. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Parking is in the street or across the street in a city garage. Check Harrisburg parking authority for days/times/rates. Stock’s ownership also owns Carley’s Piano Bar around the corner so be sure to check them out as well.Dietary restrictions: I’m sure they would accommodate any requests zParking: Easy parking on the street or in the garage across the street. Check Harrisburg parking authority for days/times/ratesWheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get in and there is plenty of space to maneuver a walker/wheelchair but I would call to confirm.“
“A very tiny deli with a limited menu and the traffic of customers were endless. They only have 3 bar stool tables inside and two outdoors. A corner location across from the capital. Staff friendly and helpful as I told them I have never been there before. I had the corned beef and had it just as recommended on menu, very good.“
“Came in towards the end of their day and they were more than gracious to accept our business. Owners were very pleasant. The restaurant was the cleanest one I believed that I have ever been in. Meal was great and the only reason they received 4 stars instead of 5 was because the cake we got, to go, tasted like it had been in the fridge for a while. It tasted stale; otherwise a quaint place!“
“Place located in a strip mall on Simpson ferry road. Establishment from the outside looks ok, the inside looks a little run down with booths and broken tile. The people at the counter were very nice and the pizza I got was very good. Came out hot and on time. The price was about what's to be expected with inflation. Definitely worth coming here and getting your pizza kicks!“
“The food is always on par with the price, especially the portions. Even it’s a bit pricier than some restaurants but amount of food you get is worth the price.Service has always been good. Only small issue here or there but it’s rare.Atmosphere is great if you go during lunch on a weekday or Sunday. But if you go at night time, especially on weekends; it gets LOUD.Parking: Good number of parking spot, but when it’s really busy at night; may have a harder time finding parking spots.Kid-friendliness: It’s good for family during lunch time. Dinner can get LOUD, especially during football season.“
“Me and my family ate their for my Grandma's Birthday today and the food was good, the atmosphere was beautiful and the service was just so good our waiter was really nice and i plan to come back here with my family again. Thank You for a good time!“
“Waited to long to try Soup Guy all his meals and soups are phenomenal I’m from New Jersey and this is top tier. Great flavors and combinations, Taco Fridays, just overall a great place for anyone looking to meal prep or just on the go food for the week his online ordering/ pick up is easy. Adam and his wife are great and provide amazing food for the community“
“I stopped going to places like dennys, ihop, and other diners like squeaky rail because the service here is amazing. I never feel judged, talked down to or embarrassed. The food here is great. I usually only ever get breakfast at diners but they dropped the lunch menu and I saw some awesome menu items. Chille rellenos and enchiladas. Love Mexican food and they do it right here. ❤️“
