Think of this place as a cross between a good Diner and a decent sit down such something like TJ Rockwells. Â I'm not saying it IS either of those but the style and feel of the food is a good MIX between the 2.
I like to go lunch time and get the pesto turkey Sand which. or the Turkey Triple Decker club. Â Both are great. Â They also do Diner style meals such as Turkey and mash potatoes, and other Diner style types of food. (Even fantastic fried chicken!) Â The other side of them has great things like Taco Salads and Burgers and things that a great sit down restaurants has.
Now I'm not saying ANY of this food is as HIGH quality and the best I've ever had.. (that would be a lie) BUT... Â it IS good and worth the price they charge. Â It's not junk.. just not the best.. I would recommend this place if your looking to eat out cheap and get a decent amount of just good food for the price. Â ESP for lunch!
They do have a bar area, with TV's and top shelf liquors if anyone is interested in drinking when they go.
If I had any suggestions for the owner or people that operate the restaurant, it would be to Lessen the menu options. With so MANY options on the menu, I'm sure a lot of it is frozen, (as most are) because it's impossible to have so many choices without freezing them to keep them as fresh as possible. Â LOWER the menu per meal time (breakfast, lunch, diner) down to just 1 page each.. get rid of crap selling items and keep the good stuff.. this will keep frozen items limited (USE MORE FRESH), and keep your COST down. Â Buying frozen items in bulk is MORE EXPENSIVE then buying fresh and using it before it goes bad. Save yourself money, give customers what they want and make great food. Â (lower the options on the menu!!!!!) - FYI this isn't just this restaurant that needs to do this, this is a TON of places... This is just casual advice that works..
A gem in Harrisburg! I'm a contractor from the DC area and this place measures up to some of the best... Maybe not in decorum but the food is top notch and the portions are ridiculous. I ordered the smothered chicken, it was $10.95 and worth every single cent (even two cents at some points)
Review Source:This place is AWESOME!!!
They have the sit-down restaurant side, and a craft beer/sports bar side. Â We go there for dinner alone, and with friends, in the evening during the week, or on a Sunday, and have always had a good experience.
The beer selection is more than impressive! Â You can go there for that alone. Â The beer prices are some of the best in the area, given the selection. Â There's a few small TV's, and they do a Friday happy hour which makes the prices even better!
The menu is diverse. Â EVERYTHING is quality. The prices may mislead you to believe that they are not, but I assure you that everything from the burgers, meatloaf, lasagna, broasted chicken, bruschetta, as well as the various fish dishes. Â The chili didn't blow my mind, but it wasn't bad.
Our friend used we go there with used to work there. Â She's the type of person who is very picky about the cleanliness and the shelf life of food. Cringes when you drink milk after the expiration date, or eats lunch meat after the 2nd or 3rd day. Â She's been a waitress all over the place, and says it's the only place she used to work at, that she'll eat at.
We stopped in here on a Sunday to have lunch and watch football. The place stands out despite having a plain facade. Inside, the space is divided between the restaurant and lounge. The restaurant, which we didn't visit, has padded seats and is larger than the lounge. It looks a lot like an upscale diner. That's not bad. The look reflects more the patrons...Older folks and families ( Maybe because it was a Sunday?) The lounge was smaller with a bar, stool and table seating and a couple of booths. For a Sunday afternoon, Football time, it was surprisingly empty. The large flat screen TV above the booths made sitting there a terrible choice. We chose the standing table. The interior was nice enough with a comfortable feel of a sports bar minus all the sporting stuff. The menu had the standard fare and the bar had all the requisites. The food was alright. Nothing special but not horrible. Our waiter/bartender was very friendly and cool. No outlets could be found on any of the walls so I had to ask our waiter/bartender to plug me in which he happily did.
Overall this was a good place to stop by and grab a bite to eat. A nice little local/neighborhood spot that serves the area well. A good place to stop into for a casual place to eat. A-OK with me is just about right ~
Just tried this place after hearing they decided to do something with their alcohol licence They've added 12 taps for craft beers and they have a growing selection of bottled beers as well. Â Their prices for food seem to be what draws in the elderly when you walk in there are 2 sections go right and there is booth seating filled with elderly go to the left there are tall tables and a bar area with the beer taps and a fridge that has maybe 20 different types of beer in addition to the draft selections. Â They are very new to craft beer apparentely only added the taps 8 days ago so if you are into craft beers you may end up teaching the servers until they get more experience. Â The food wasn't bad I actually plan to go back again Friday night to grab dinner and a few brews. Â My advice if you are under 50 and don't have your grandmother in tow then head to the left when you get there.
Review Source:I agree, the food is rather bland. Â It seems to have an elderly clientele, so I'm probably not the demographic that they go after. Â Decent selection of meals at great prices. Â It has fabric booths and carpet, so a little fancier than a diner, but still kind of reminds me of one anyway. Â
Not the best place I've ever eaten, but I would probaby go back.
I've only been to this one once as it's a bit away from most places I'm going to in Harrisburg, but I definitely had a good experience there. Â This place felt more like a large diner to me than a "Restraunt & Lounge", although I feel a little better about ordering actual entrees here than some of the other local diners. Â The waitress was good, and the food was on-par or slightly better than I've had at the Colonial Diner... definitely better than the Capitol Diner has been for me.
