Restaurants in Hanover

“We recently discovered Oak, just a half mile from our home, and it’s truly a hidden gem in an area with limited dining options. From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. Our bartender, Zach, was welcoming, knowledgeable, and offered fantastic recommendations—including the Steak and Eggs for brunch, which exceeded all expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the eggs—a dish I had never tried before but will definitely be ordering again. My husband enjoyed the BLT Eggs Benedict, which was equally impressive. The thick-cut bacon, perfectly poached eggs, and flavorful hollandaise made for an unforgettable dish. The service throughout our visit was outstanding, and when asked for recommendations, Zach confidently told us that everything on the menu is great—and from what we tasted, we absolutely believe it. If we could give Oak a 10 out of 10, we would. For anyone in the area or just passing through, we highly recommend stopping by. Oak is a standout dining experience, and we’ll definitely be returning soon!”

“Many delicious seafood options and good non-seafood options as well. Specials regularly. Terrific friendly and attentive service. A simple atmosphere with inside and outside seating.

Vegetarian options: Veggie paining available

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access next to handicap parking spot.”

“Great sushi 🍣 selection and excellent service. Very impressed as this was the first time here and will be back for sure 👍!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious Food. Excellent Service. Cozy setting.”

“All round great place to unwind or gather with friends with best local brewed craft beer the beer slingers ( that’s what I call them)are top notch and very knowledgeable they can explain the texture,aroma and the hi and low tones of each bear before you ask for a sample if you’re not sure.”

“Had dinner there today for the first time since they moved from Nanticoke! The food was even more spectacular than I remembered. I savored the chicken francaise … best I ever had. The hubs enjoyed one of the specials of the day, lasagne and an enormous meatball. It was fantastic. Both meals were such large portions we took some home. The new location is quaint with limited seating but is a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely return! Perhaps the best tasting food in the valley!”

“Great food and service! First time eating at a Honduran restaurant and will definitely be back!! My favorite was the guacamole! Best I’ve ever had! The carne asada was amazing as well!”

“Becca, Jon, and Cassandra were amazing and gave the best customer service.. great drinks and amazing food. 10/10 recommend. Best brewery in town!”

“This place wasn’t bad but I expected a little better service. The steak was pretty ok. The Texas onion was on point. The shrimp was average. The salads were nothing to write home about. The server was less than desirable. No such thing as refills or prebussing tables. It was average at best. Prices are high compared to similar places. If I didn’t have a gift certificate I wouldn’t have chosen this place.”

“You only see smiling relaxed faces here at this placd! What's not to love! Sensational beers! My favorite Blood Bath is a blood orange beer. Yum! And fun artwork everywhere! Music on the weekends! See you there!?”

“Probably the best crabs in the area. Always fresh, full and delicious. I don't buy them anywhere else. Even if you have to drive a little distance, they are well worth it.”

“IM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THIS RESTAURANT!! I didn’t take a picture I forgot but I will next time I eat there. However, I’m new to this town and have eaten at 2 other asian restaurants in this town and tbh I was extremely disappointed. So I decided to try one more Asian restaurant, the Aki steakhouse. I was super blown away from the quality and taste of my meal. it’s hands down the best food I’ve had in years!! I mean YEARS!! I got the chicken teriyaki it was super moist and tender enough to break into pieces w/ just a fork, it came with the sweetest sugar snap peas and asparagus cooked to complete perfection( the tastiest vegetables I’ve ever had in my life) w/ white rice and to my shock it was a huge portion, enough for at least 2 adults. The price of my meal was 21$ but EXTREMELY worth it, and actually that’s only 9 dollars more than a combo meal from McDonald’s (that’s crazy to think about) and like I said it’s huge portions so you can easily split it with someone. YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS RESTAURANT, I PROMISE YOU’LL BE HOOKED.”

“We loved our dinner! Our waitress was friendly, the wait wasn’t long and the food was delicious! We will be back. The atmosphere was a lovely throwback to how restaurants used to be when they were unique. Five stars!”

“ordered food from them food was great only problem was delivery driver with ponytail and beard smelled like cannabis and alcohol”

“I moved to NC and I’m still chasing the quality of the wings from the hotel. No one compares, I can’t find anything as good. My rating system is on a curve. Sundays will never be the same.”

“our Awesome boss Miss Rita treated the teachers at Sunshine daycare to lunch from you yesterday!We called in the order she picked it up and brought it back to us we had alot of different dishes I had Mushroom Swiss ground steak burger and FF it was so good I lived the seal on the toasted bun pretty but still soft.The ff were so good not to greasy not to salty just perfect. Plus I tired some of her big crab dip pretzel that was to die for.I look forward to coming to the restaurant for myself.”

“What a night! I finally took Cooper for his 1st Lobster. After watching lots of “Coyote Peterson” uTube videos for a couple months, he’d been asking me to take him to eat one. Today was the day. Thank you to Hanovers Red Lobster & their General Manager Michael, he gave us the ultimate educational experience & even sat down with us & showed Cooper how to eat it. Mike got the meat out while Cooper ate it 😂😂. Cooper loved every bite of it & dipped it in his “hot warm butter”. He suggested his 8 year old friend Mia, try a “no thank you bite” ( that’s my rule ! 😂) And, she liked it! It was so funny! Had a great time. Cooper had a blast & enjoyed having Mia join him too!! Thanks so much Michael, for accommodating my request, you’re the best👍😀”

“Steak was done right. Nice and tender BUT it was sooooo salty. Never had one like this. Potato had extra salt on skin also. Waiter acted like he didnt even care.”

“Best Mexican food in Hanover! A++++ Jazmin the bartender makes the best margaritas. Everyone is so friendly and treats you so good. Such a great ran restaurant top notch.”

“The restaurant is very clean. The waitress friendly and helpful. The food delicious!”

“Absolutely delicious!!! Strawberry Smoothie 🔥🔥🔥”

“Just had GrillRilla for the first time and I’m blown away. I had the Farm Animal smash burger and let me tell you, it was like a magical breakfast, lunch, and dinner all in one! The king sauce is some sort of wizard spell that has all the best parts of the flavor without the overwhelming heat taste of the whisky. It’s the perfect blend of flavor that seals the deal on an epic burger. Simple, yet tastes like it should cost big money. I have only written a handful of reviews because it has to be big… and this grub, is HUGE! Mega Huge! I sampled my daughter’s “Surf and Turf Bowl”, and it left me angry that I didn’t order it myself. I wanted more than one bite, and I can fully understand her hesitance to share. Crab wings = bangin! Even the rice was slammin. I’m in awe. Shock and Awe. I can’t wait to try everything else on the menu. You have a believer here… I look forward to a long relationship of fully flavored food, and a few extra Lb’s. Worth every single ounce!”

“Clean with nice atmosphere. Greeted by Ana. Menu was full of interesting dishes. We both chose Pollo Flautas. Wanted a Corona to go with meal, but she explained that they did not have a liquor license, but it is a BYOB ((we'll know for next time).Watched other tables get served with some really wonderful dishes. Ours was delivered to table in about 15 minutes. Great plating of food. Taste was excellent. Took home our leftovers. Highly recommend this little gem in Hanover PA”

“not only amazing ice cream for us. my pup loves them too”

“This place is amazing! A true one-of-a-kind, family owned establishment! I had the Rueben, and to say it was perfect is an understatement. It was soo yummy that we had to go twice while we were in town! We will surely be returning on our next trip North! The family that owns this place is wonderful. They came and sat and talked for a moment, telling us all about their local meat, dairy, and other local products. 5 out of 5 for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Everything is delicious! 100% recommend trying them !”

“Authentic mexican food! Not like other places claiming to be authentic. This is the real deal. Growing up in California and living in Texas, moving to Pennsylvania has been a challenge to find good mexican food. Look no further, it is HERE!”

“fair prices, great meal portions and we had a supreme waitress. all together made for a great experience.”

“I came to Ghouls and Grinds for the first time 2 weeks ago, and it was absolutely the best experience I have had at a local coffee shop. The coffee here is fantastic, and the drink choices are amazing. My husband also loves it so much, this is the only coffee shop we want to come to now. I appreciate that they don’t charge extra for things like different milks and for decaf coffee. The cinnamon bun coffee is our absolute favorite. And also- the staff here is very friendly. That’s a huge plus- I have had some disappointing encounters at other coffee shops in the area- but not Ghouls and Grinds- they are fantastic and if you have not tried them I 1000000% urge you to!! You will not be disappointed!”

“Blue Koi never disappoints! They have great food and I love the dining room. Always greeted with a smile and great service. Highly recommend for dine-in or carry-out!”

“Easily the best food in town, no competition! Fresh ingredients, great menu selection, and honestly you're barely spending more than you would at a fast food joint. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is very welcoming- couldn't recommend enough!”

“Food is always great, my family has come here for years … always friendly service. Ask for Kearstyn as a waitress!”

“We stopped by for supper May 30 2025. Our waitress was Alyssa she was wonderful helping me with my food allergies very thoughtful you have a wonderful worker in her.I had the ham with baked potato and cottage cheese my husband had the 2 smoked pork chops with a baked potato and cucumber salad the meal was wonderfully cooked well and so delicious Thank you for a great experience eating at you restaurant.”

“Merlin’s Coffee is a hidden the Hanover area. We had the pleasure of nearing the owners Donna and Eric, very pleasant to sit back and talk coffee beans and origins. These people are passionate about what they do.”

“We've never been disappointed with a single dish, and I'm pretty sure we've tried about everything. Everything is fresh and delicious. So glad to have Blessing in town!”

“Great pretzels and friendly staff.”

“First time eating here tonight and it was amazing. There were so many choices, it didn’t take long to get our food, everything was delicious ( stuffed shells, fried calamari, chicken strips w fries, and traditional Mexican tongue tacos) that we ordered. The pricing was great! The restaurant was clean and all of the staff were friendly! We will be back! Thank you for a great evening.”

“When my husband and I think of Perkins, we think of family. Everyone there has been great! From welcoming you as soon as you come in the door, to saying see ya next time when you leave. They are very polite and respectful.

Our meals have been good but there is always room for improvement. The food can be a little bland at times. There was a time our food came out cold, bacon was not crispy and my toast was burnt but our waitress, Kaylee, took care of it right away. She spoke with her manager Wade and he made everything right. Kaylee is very attentive, well mannered and a great server.

All the managers are awesome! We have gone to the Gettysburg restaurant but the service there does not match up to the service we get here at the Hanover restaurant.

We look forward to our next visit. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Great crabs I love the seasoning”

“We’ve been coming to visit since it opened! We love Mr. Fred and his great crew.”

“Depending on the day, The food is subpar compared to their contemporaries. I’m sure they’re doing their best but there are more reliable, better quality and consistent sources other than having to roll the dice with Susie’s Mexican ”

“Delicious !! From the cheese Steak subs,to the Texas tators,onion rings and down to the ice. lol. Imagine if they added DOORDASH! LOL”

“Came with a friend and bought donuts and drinks. Recommended caramel frappe. Lots of options and a nice little shop inside with soap and small decor. Seating is good and a couple couches are able to use also”

“Went here after it being recommended. I’m used to going to Oola bowls and wanted to try something more local. We arrived 15 minutes before closing. Felt bad but the customer service was still good. Didn’t feel rushed and we were able to finish our açaí bowls inside as we came on a motorcycle so couldn’t take them Togo. We were there about 5 minutes after closing. The staff was very nice and the bowls were delicious. Only thing I’d change is better quality honey. Still overall would recommend. Can’t wait to go back and try some food and drink options!”

“Awesome food. Great staff. Highly recommend.”

“Muy bueno todo y excelente trato.Dios siga bendiciendo.”

“Good food , good prices , good service😊”

“Amanda, Thank you for making our 40th surprise birthday party a smashing hit. Your custom cake and cupcakes were a show-stopper. ***I ordered a Highland Cow 6” cake (peanut butter mousse with chocolate icing) and sixty plus highland cow cupcakes (yellow, chocolate and pumpkin flavors) to supplement. The butter cream frosting had the perfect combination of flavor, smooth texture with just the right amount of sweet. The cake and cupcakes were fresh and moist (even after I had them in the refrigerator for an extended amount of time). The Cake Bar captured the perfect amount of frosting to cake ratio. Each treat was and simply scrumptious. The cake and cupcakes were delicately decorated and exploding with “WOW”. Your skill, creativity and artistic talent are remarkable. Each cupcake and the cake were a work of art of their own. From my initial inquiry, working through a concept and to final delivery, I was given a really personalized and professional service. I couldn’t be more impressed with the finished cake and cupcakes. Everyone loved them. The Cake bar is by far, comparable to none. I will sing the praises of The Cake Bar to anyone with a five star +++ rating an recommend no others. Thank you for your incredible work.”

“I grew up on Main Street in Old Forge and the Pizza here tastes like it’s from Main Street in Old Forge. Outstanding job!”

Thank you for an amazing experience and DElicious ice cream!! Oooh yea and the chocolate covered Swedish fish and the chocolate covered Oreos AND the chocolate dip was the BEST we ever had!! WOW!!”

“Love the ice cream and staff!!”

“Our server was excellent. We enjoyed an appetizer of lightly breaded shrimp, onions, and peppers with marinara and a ranch dressing dipping sauces.
Also an spinach artichoke dip with fresh, warm pita chips. Both apps were very good.
My wife enjoyed her steak gorganzola, and I made my own pasta dish with rigatoni, 3cheese marinara sauce, served with 3 good-sized
meatballs. I like their meatballs. They're firm, but fork tender to cut.”

“Clean store, good food and amazing service! Eve was my sandwich artist and she was so sweet and friendly ! Made my sub quickly and well and still maintained that friendly conversation Great hire!”

“A nice little dig for incredible Chinese food and a reasonable price. I also must mention that the employees are also very kind, and especially sweet to my kids.”

“Food was good, service great. Drinks delish!!”

“I have been going to the Famous for decades. Always ordered the Hot Dog w/ everything. I recently stopped in abd git my usual 2 dogs with everything and a Strawberry shake. I hatecto say this but the Hot Dogs were horrible. They were dry with a weird texture. I've spoken to several other frequent loyal customers and they said the same thing. I'm not sure if you changed your distributor, but I don't think I can go back. maybe for a cheeseburger with everything. I hope you check into this.”

“Izzy, Liz and Matty,This is by far the best place I’ve ever been. The staff is amazing friendly kind.I have a hurt hand, and the lady even help me for my drink. Kindness is hard to find out is in these ladies have it”

“Great guys there on the late night/early morning crew !!!!!! Zach and staff got me in super early and out in a very short amount of time !!!!!! They did this flawlessly !!!!! Oh .... And they were shorthanded !!!!!!! Fantastic job guys !!!!!!”

“It's not the Nicest Place, but its never overcrowded & the prices are not that bad if you know how to find it in the BoonDocks! I'd recommend hanging out there. There is plenty of off street parking across the street. (Thats the one complaint, the owner is obsessed with having people towed from "his parking lot" god forbid should you not want to drive drunk. Or should a neighbor park there for a little bit, when a bar with happy neighbors means having a good eye kept on place for breakins in the bar and customers cars instead of pissing off neighbors who may say oh well not my problem!)”

“After my fiance and I had tried their beer at the American legion, I instantly looked this place up because the beer was so good and a week later we came here. I really love the set up of the place. And the staff were super nice and very informative too. If you come here try their pretzel beer, laser beer, dolphin and anchor ale and steam beer. We bought a case each of the laser beer and the pretzel beer and will DEFINITELY be back!!! I am so happy I found this place by accident. We are about 15 miles away from here but it's worth every mile!”

“I usually buy a full tray for the fam and the service is so good they know me! (I go almost weekly.) My favorite pizza by far and you get tons in a full tray! Super yummy and great bang for your buck!”

“My grandkids love it they always have a great time.”

“Nothing compares to this Hott Ham & Cheese Pretzel Sandwich! Literally only go to Morning Sun some weekends just to go see The Pretzel 🥨 Lady! If you haven’t tried one, you HAVE to go try one like right away! 😍🥨❤️”

“I had a very very large catering order, and I’m very much pregnant and this group at the Hanover chick fil a was absolutely amazing and so helpful I hardly lifted a finger! I am so thankful for the 2 ladies who helped me and made sure things were easy for me!!”

“Pizza is great. Subs are great. Everything is great. No lie, try them!! We usually go weekly. Love their food!”

“1st time we ever ordered here. That being said "WE WILL BE BACK!!" Delicious food all around and the delivery fee is the most reasonable I ever paid for..”

“Ate at Chili's last night with a large party (17 ppl) and everything was great. Our server was very good and the drinks were perfect. Great margaritas! All the food came out piping hot, and our waitress got everybody's order correct. Nothing was missing whatsoever. Our table was even ready a few minutes after we got there.”

“Some of my friends were saying how good the food is at the Bairs Den. Especially the cheeseburger sub. I did a take out, but ordered double cheeseburger sub w/lettuce,tomato and mayo. They gave me a double cheeseburger not a sub by mistake. Still tasted great”

“My wife and I have been customers ever since El Rodeo opened many years ago, averaging three visits per month. Never a bad meal or experience, and the best Margaritas in Hanover. Large menu with excellent choices. We've taken visiting friends and relatives here too and have always been well taken care of. We always look forward to our visit.”

“There is only one place in this town that has good cream of crab soup & it is this restaurant!!! I have tried just about everywhere! I can’t think of one place that has even close to better cream of crab! 🦀 You have got to try it and see for yourself!!!!”

“Got here for a pickup 0740 for 0800 load time. Checked in and on the dock under 5 min loading started 3 min later. Just be mindful of coming in and yes the small turn down N Blettner is accurate. Unfortunately no overnight parking the lot can not accommodate”

“Taylor was our server and she was amazing. Super friendly and taking care of all of the tables by herself. We will definitely be back.”

“My family and I visited Avalon Ale House not long ago and I felt I needed to share. The friendly staff was very attentive to our table. The exceptional food selection was a plus! I would recommend this to someone who has not visited and we will definitely be back again! Keep up the good work!!”

“First time in for myself and my son. The staff were so very nice and friendly! The pizza was fantastic!! And I'm very very picky about my pizza. This is DEFINITELY a monthly outing for me and my son. LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT.
On another note, even the other customers coming in were amazing and helped with the door.”

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy”

“I absolutely love eating here with my children! I love the variety to choose from and healthier options! My kids beg me to go here regularly and other than the expense I have difficulty saying no, because it's so good! I have become a huge fan. I especially love the mission statement and little sayings on the containers. It's so cute and tasty.

Kid-friendliness: ? They did have coloring pages and crayons for little kids if you asked them about it.

It's cuteness overload and a delicious treat that can be nutritional depending on what you select!!! ?”

“Hot, fresh-made food in a flash, kind & courteous staff, outdoor tables so I could dine outside w/my dog (who of course loves JM’s). We’ll be back….Thanks so much! :)”

“Very impressive as it pertains to the quality of the food! Glad it is in such close proximity to my house if in the event life gets hectic and cooking not an option!”

“Wow, Their broth is amazing. I had a vermicelli bowl and it was outstanding. The price is great for what you get. very fresh ingredients and great portion size. kind and courteous service. I'm definitely coming back and recommending Pho Viet to my friends.”

“Originally was a “no go” Since Megan took over things are starting to change in a positive way. Mr. Ortiz is a great addition to the team as well. Keep up the good work Megan (pirate girl) �”

“Great place to watch football games 🏈”

“Ordered food here early this week. It was outstanding. Everything was good. New owners are very friendly and we will be back. My favorite shrimp toast. Again excellent. Thanks a”

“Favorite place to eat. Would recommend going during a less busy time because when it's busy it seems the food isn't as good because they are rushing food out. Ex. I love the broccoli and chicken, but the broccoli has to be soft not hard. It's only hard when not cooked long enough..aka..rushing to go the buffet. But do love the food!”
