“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.“
“Had a blast with bands sat eve with Alice in sane and stricken. Been long time last in. Meet some old folks and recent being part of the local music scene and be a great spot for Shout at the Devil to play. Hope see some other familiar bands play like black wax Or korupt.“
“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.“
“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 :)“
“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.“
“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“
“CASH ONLY! Retro eat in car Jack Rabbit Slims dinner. fantastic burger and good crab cake. they also have little coin operated rides for kidsParking: put on your hazard lights for a server to come to your carKid-friendliness: coin op kids rides, sundaes, floats and ice cream“
“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.“
“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?“
“My first time here was on Monday March 18th, from out of town (Youngstown,Oh-io. Food was great. But the complete staff from behind the bar to the kitchen are a game maker for this Sports bar. You can have a great looking restaurant, which this is. But the staff is what makes or breaks it. Hands down and hats off the the staff at Max’s Grille & Sports Bar.Thank you.“
“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!“

“Lake Tobias is one of my favorite places to visit when I am in PA! Friendly staff, affordable food, and the opportunities to interact with and feed a variety of animals make this wildlife park a unique and special place.The safari bus tours are my favorite part of this park! You are able to feed a variety of bison, gazelles, emus, etc. from your seat! You can purchase either pellets, popcorn, or carrots from the park and the prices are very reasonable. Pro tip: I have found that the animals really like the carrots and the kiddos really like the popcorn. The line for the tour can be long on busy days so make sure to bring something to entertain your kids. The animals eat right from your hand, which can be overwhelming for little ones or people with sensory sensitivities. The bus drivers are very knowledgeable and provide a variety facts about the animals and the park during the tour.The petting zoo has standard goats, camels, deer, etc. Be careful with the camels, some of them like scratches but some of them do not! Make sure that you stop by and pet the baby animals that are being socialized to humans near the petting zoo! I have been able to pet a baby bison, a calf, and a bunch of baby emus that were not as soft as I thought they were going to be. The exhibits are informative and some of the animals have a lot of space. The giraffes are a really long walk from the rest of the exhibits so be prepared! There is a hiking trail that will take you to the entrance of the giraffe exhibit that has birds and a very grumpy bobcat along the way. The trail has hills and is not disability or senior friendly so keep that in mind. If you stop by at the right time, then you may have the chance to feed a giraffe some lettuce or some other snack!Speaking of snacks, the food at the concession stands are delicious and very affordable! The burgers, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs at the Grille & Grub are all reasonably priced and hit the spot after all of that walking. The ice cream portions are generous and refreshing on hot summer days. There are a lot of covered seating areas near the concessions stands and scattered around the lakes. You can bring your own food if you want but with the affordable pricing at the concession stands you don't need to.If it is hot then make sure that you visit the reptile house or the museum for some air conditioning and information. The reptile house has exhibits around the walls of the building and you may get the chance to pet a snake or an alligator! There is a small amphitheater in the middle where keepers will bring out animals and give talks throughout the day. These talks are popular so get there early if you want a seat with a good view! The museum goes through the history of the park and is a loving tribute to the founder. There is an aquarium in the museum and staff who will show you some of the antlers or horns that the animals at the park have dropped.The park is open 10am - 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 6pm on weekends from June to August with shorter hours, limited activities, and/or only open weekends in April, May, September, October, and November (see the 2023 schedule below). Check back with the park website for their updated 2024 hours but the general concepts (only open for safari drive through in April and November, only open on weekends some months, etc.) have not changed in the past 3 years that I have been visiting. If you are coming from the south and taking the 225, there is a crazy bend in the road that you really need to be careful of (see the photo below). The park is located in a rural area but there is signage as you get closer to let you know that you are going the right way. You need to go past the John Deere store to get to the entrance. Parking is always free and admission at the time of this review was $19 for anyone age 3+ and includes all of the exhibits and the safari. You can pay $10 for the exhibits alone, but I highly recommend that you add on the safari! Active duty military and veterans are free with military ID. They don't have a way to purchase ti“
“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.“

“Hole in the wall, friendly staff and customers, fantastic food. We were just passing through, but I wish they were near where we live. Will eat there anytime we're up that way. We had pancakes, eggs and bacon. The only place that has ever cooked bacon the way I asked. Pancakes were huge and delicious, and my poached egg was perfect“
“Great food. Great location. Great owner. Everything is fresh. Solid breakfast and lunch menu. Best breakfast sandwich I can find in downtown Harrisburg. I would have never thought putting Mayo on a breakfast sandwich would work but it is delicious. Especially the herbed Mayo. Try it out. You won’t regret it.“
“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.“
“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.“
“First timer and everything was Awesome, started with a sangria...so yummy. Then ordered the French onion soup, lots of onions, broth and cheese just the way i like it. Entree was the triple seafood ravioli and lobster bits in blush sauce....fantastic. server was readily available but left you enjoy your “
“Great place for a few beers! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious!Kid-friendliness: The kids menu had a lot of different options on it, no problem finding something for even the pickiest eater. A whole menu full of craft sodas too!“
“our server, Ken, was absolutely phenomenal. he provides excellent service to his tables. he makes the whole experience delightful. if you visit here be sure to request Ken for an awesome experience and delicious food. you will not be disappointed!!“
“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. ❤️“
“I didn’t even know this place existed. The place is different in the way you order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. The food is stupid good though. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. I will certainly come back.“
“We were travelling from GA, we saw this place and decided to stop. What a gem. The place was clean, everyone was so friendly and nice. The food was exceptional and plentiful. I could not eat all of my food as much as i tried. I asked our waitress what Dennys Lennies was famous for and she said the french fries( if we had been there for lunch i would have ordered them). Not a single person in the dining area were on their cell phones. Everyone was talking to each other. So glad we stopped and had this great experience, when i come back to Pennsylvania this place is on top if my list to eat at. Thank you for a great dining experience.“
“Stopped by on Sunday afternoon. Hubby had the wings(Cajun)and a side salad. I opted for the cheeseburger which hands down was homemade and the best burger I have had out in a long time. Cooked to perfection. We shared some onion rings. They were darn good. Shared a piece of coconut cream pie. The BEST!!! Our server was Betty A seasoned pro.So glad we stopped in. We will definitely go back and enjoy the entire river area.“
