“The cutest corner bistro in the city. Chef Stevie brings her creativity and genuine enthusiasm to Note. bistro and winebar’s Sunday brunch. Her specialty: crepes both sweet and savory! The crispy potatoes are extra yummy. Check out the cute vintage salt and pepper shakers. 🦔 Dine small. Support small independent restaurants.”
“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!”
“WOW! An amazing dinner. We started with espresso martini and Cosmo. Perfectly made. Szechuan shrimp app, pear salad with shrimp, Mongolian glazed short rib with risotto flavors were perfectly flavored. Dessert Eggroll Flight for two….. Cheesecake, Brownie Batter, Chef's Choice was so unique and creative. Staff very welcoming and personable from hostess, bartender and server Stephanie. We are looking forward to returning to Harrisburg and Cafe Fresco!”
“Delectable authentic tasting Italian food. It's as delicious as eating in Italy!”
“I first learned about the Soup Guy during the pandemic. I didn't order from him until this summer. From my very first order this year, I wish I had been supporting him since I first learned of him 3 years ago! Great food, great portions, good selections, very reasonably priced! 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!”
“Went in for a slide and got the meat lovers thick crust. Large piece for $3.98 with tax. While waiting I was shocked to see the very large menu of subs, cold and hot, salads and Strombolis. Casual setting if you dine in with great 80s music and sever was great. 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.”

“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?”
“I had problems with this location 6-12 months ago with taking forever or just completely never making my order and receiving no follow up, but the last few times I have been there staff seems to have improved. Average McDonald’s experience. This location does have homeless people hanging out at it - but I’ve never been bothered by any.
Dietary restrictions: No healthy options left on McDonald’s menu anymore”

The crispy potatoes are extra yummy. Check out the cute vintage salt and pepper shakers. 🦔 Dine small. Support small independent restaurants.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I ordered the Chicken Thukpa a little spicy. It was a large bowl of pork soup with lots of noodles, onions, peas, lentils, chunks of chicken, herbs and spices, that was delicious. I couldn't finish it all and got a take out cup for later. Seemed like a family run business, everybody was very nice. I will be back to try another dish.”
“If you don't know about this hidden gem you need to get acquainted ASAP by far the best Italian sub in central PA. They will never disappoint, everything is extremely fresh and the sandwiches are thicker than your favorite BBW! Try them once and your hooked.
Parking: Street parking some free spots, some meter parking, and some permit only parking available.”
“The owner and his staff are always very pleasant. It’s a nice clean environment and my salads are always made with fresh vegetables. I’ve tried a few different items and haven’t been disappointed. Tonight I went with the penne a la vodka. The sauce was creamy and delicious! Also the bread that comes with the salad is really yummy, it has garlic, herbs & cheese on it.
If you’re looking for a great pizza shop in Harrisburg, I highly recommend David’s Pizza.”
“We only came to the diner because it is in the same building as the shoe store we were going to. We were hungry and decided to have lunch first. It was a WONDERFUL experience! I cannot recommend it enough! My husband got breakfast food, and I got the blue moon burger and sweet potato fries. All of the food was delicious! Go there! Just. Go!”

“I am new to the area and this made me feel at home but even better!! I order about every week. Fresh and very hot. Family restaurant and made me feel very welcomed!! I brought my family from back home here for dinner, they enjoy this just as much!! I need to try a few more things on the menu so I can brag more!!”
“Love the atmosphere here, which is relaxed but still appropriate for an intimate meal. Service was attentive as well. Even better is the food! All the entrees looked great. We had the braciole and roasted chicken. So many other choices, too. The limoncello cake for dessert was so good! Highly recommend and we will be back any time we are close.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I had the opportunity to try this place for the first time yesterday, I don't live in the area, but a friend recommended I try it. I have to say, the food was amazing!!! The customer service was also amazing!!! If you're ever in the area and you don't try this place, you're doing yourself a disservice!!! 10 out of 10 highly recommend Bellia's Pizza!!! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area!!!”
“Just had 38 McAlisters sandwich boxes delivered to our family reunion. They arrived on time, fresh, order filled perfectly. Everyone loved the ham or the garden Turkey sandwiches. Fruit cups and cookies were a special hit with the kids and every pickle was eaten! I highly recommend McAllisters!”
“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.”
“I've lived here a year and finally had a chance to try this place. Everything is made there. I had the chicken parmesan pizza which, in my opinion, had no real taste. I couldn't tell if chicken was really on it. It looked like it did. The crust is their own special thing. The pizza is small, the price big, the taste mediocre. The meal was good, but IMHO, only halfway on the scale to being the best. I will try other items there to be fair.”
“I recommend The Cheesesteak Guy for the food not for the service. Stopped in today shortly after opening and the young woman taking our order stood at the register braiding her hair. She continued to play with hair while answering the phone. This is very unprofessional and inappropriate not to say also unsanitary. Do your hair before work!!”
“The restaurant redo is very cute with a tropical vibe. The walls and ceilings are dripping with greenery and flowers.
Our waitress was wonderful. The timing on food and drinks was perfect.
The food was good and the menu gives a wide variety. There are happy hour drink specials 4-6.”
“Chef Qui Musarra is one of the finest chefs in central PA.

“Super satisfied & beyond impressed! Ordered takeout for 2 around 8:55pm on a rainy Wednesday night. It was ready 20 minutes later. The place was empty but I was kindly greeted! First time trying Guru… portions sizes equal to price & the SPICE IS RIGHT! Lamb vindaloo and coconut shrimp curry with garlic naan sided with chutneys. I will be back for more”
“I received a birthday cake for my daughter's second birthday. It tasted and looked absolutely amazing
Kid-friendliness: I had the baker make my daughter a cocomelon themed birthday cake and she did an amazing job. I basically gave her a few pictures to go off of and told her run it how she seen fit and it came out amazing and my daughter absolutely loved it”
“AUTHENTIC!!! I never heard of them till I saw the suggestion pop up on Door Dash. I ordered birria. OMG these are the BEST tacos I have ever had. I have been to Rosarito, Mexico and have had street tacos and this is the most authentic I have ever had in the states. I kept making yummy noises the whole time I ate. My co-workers kept complimenting how good it smelled and asked to try some. Now we are all planning to all go in person. Maybe even cater for us sometime. I have ordered from other restaurants who shall remain nameless and it was always meh. Taco Amigos does not disappoint. Thank you for getting it right!! Sooooo goooood!!!”
“great food, great service and a very sexy hostess. didn't get her name tho”
“I moved to Pennsylvania from Louisiana 7 years ago and can’t believe it took me this long to find this restaurant. Everything was phenomenal. I ordered the Cajun Penna Pasta and my fiancé ordered the Southern Catfish. If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC southern comfort food, this is the place to go. The kitchen staff knows their stuff, and it shows through the quality of the food. I love that I can now get a little taste of Louisiana without having to hop on an airplane. Definitely my new favorite restaurant:) The atmosphere was amazing from the service to the music and decor. We will be back!”
“Gilligans in Colonial Park has the Best Real crab cakes. I had a Christmas lunch with a friend. I enjoyed my food so much that two days later, I called and ordered a to go crab cake dinner lol. Service and atmosphere also great.”
“We stopped by on a Sunday evening. We were looking for some good food and adult beverages. Wow ! What a find! There were 3 of us, we shared 2 flights and were able to sample 12 different beers. We found some we really like, some, not so much ( too “hoppy” for me). Loved that we were able to experience a variety without having to commit to an entire glass. The food was amazing. Between us, we had the fish and chips, french dip and a hamburger. All were VERY GOOD! Our server, Chase perfect! Very attentive, but did not hover. He was very knowledgeable and answered our questions without hesitation. We left there very satisfied with full bellies and a 4 pack of Blood Orange Tart Ale ( YUMMY). We definitely will be back.”
“I own a wedding venue and Stock’s catered a weddings here last weekend. Everything they did was next level. Friendly and professional staff and food that was excellent. Presentation was beautiful! I will recommend Stick’s catering to all my couples!”
“WOW! An amazing dinner. We started with espresso martini and Cosmo. Perfectly made. Szechuan shrimp app, pear salad with shrimp, Mongolian glazed short rib with risotto flavors were perfectly flavored. Dessert Eggroll Flight for two….. Cheesecake, Brownie Batter, Chef's Choice was so unique and creative. Staff very welcoming and personable from hostess, bartender and server Stephanie. We are looking forward to returning to Harrisburg and Cafe Fresco!”
“Great food and awesome atmosphere. Our waitress, Jude C, was fantastic. I will definitely be returning when I’m in Harrisburg 😊”
“We are not fans of chain restaurants. We like mom and pop shops and love supporting local eateries. Our first time trying Feed Your Soul for dinner tonight. We will definitely be back. I had the jumbo lump crab cake with baked mac n cheese, green beans, and cornbread. The only restaurant we have ever been to where black cherry Kool-aid was an option. I felt like I was eating a meal in my Grandma's kitchen! The customer service was wonderful!”
“Wide selection and great food. Owner is very attentive. They had a band upstairs whuch made for a fun night with friends.”
“food was cold and understaff and rude unprofessional manager and poor server had no help from upper management was first time there and the last time there”
“very friendly, delicious food, hibachi chef can be very entertaining. you might meet someone new too.”
“I haven’t been to their store front, but their Gin is AMAZING. Not a dirty martini gin, due to the prominent citrus notes, but wow, so refreshing in warm weather for gin and tonics, basil gimlets; anything that involves fruit. I recommend this gin every chance I get.”
“This is a must go, best Seafood I ever had! They are generous with the portions as well.”
“This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant! The margaritas were good, the waiter was friendly and informative. The food we ordered was the nachos and salsa, of course, guacamole, tacos del mar, and the molcajeta mexicana, also a tomale, and a cheese enchalada. Just fabulous. Great decor, tableside guacamole, and background Mariachi music. Enjoy!”
“Jennifer P is the BEST server at the Harrisburg Red Lobster. She knows what we are planning on ordering and had our drinks waiting for us. She even knew what I was ordering for my husband’s takeout. I can’t say enough good things about her!!!”
“I know we are always looking for good places to eat, as we are foodies…especially good food. Shout out to Dodge City Steakhouse as their food was fantastic! I had haddock topped woth crab and Brussel sprouts! Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was quiet and quaint.”
“The food is fantastic. We went for lunch. I grabbed the Moose burger. Recommend!”
“Food was amazing and so was service. It wasn’t an issue but just so others know, it is a night club. So the floors might be slightly sticky but it’s worth it for the food.”
“the manager Junior was AMAZING!!! i can't reccomend him enough!! we had our son and daughters birthday at chuck e cheese and he made it unforgetable!!! the kids were saying they can't wait to come back now. one of the best experiances i have had for the children's birthday! we were deciding between Dave and busters and chuck e cheese... we took a chance and Junior made it an AMAZING experiance! He went above and beyond, serving the pizza for us, making sure the table and drinks were all ready when we got there, dancing and interacting with the kids, being so friendly nice and welcoming. the kids (and adults) had a blast. worth EVERY penny! THANK YOU JUNIOR AND STAFF FOR CREATING A UNFORGETABLE BIRTHDAY!”
“We are frequent visitors of Roxy's. With out a doubt—the BEST hidden treasure in Harrisburg for breakfast. Their omelets are outstanding!! The service is good and great spot to visit for either lunch or breakfast.”
“I go every Friday with a few of my buddies and we always have a pleasant experience with the food. I recommend trying the White Rice with Okra soup poured on top of it. With a side of Hibiscus tea.”
“Thank you to Queen’s BBQ for providing customized delicious catering for my mother’s celebration of life 💗 you helped make the event special by honoring my mom with some of her favorite comfort foods - gumbo & jambalaya. Thank you 💞 Y’all are always easy to work with and provide reliably delicious catering.”
“The live music offered; especially Travers Brothership among Many others ✌”
“went here yesterday for the 1st time. got hard shell crabs and shrimp, and omg it was AMAZING!!!!! thank u harbour House for being so extra nice to me and for giving me the best crabs and shrimp ever !!!!!! I WILL BE BACK VERY VERY SOON !!!!”
“Food and service were incredible! Our very large family made very very last minute plans to meet after my grandmother's funeral and Rubicon was super accommodating. Can't thank them enough for their exceptional service?”
“My first time here was amazing! Service was quick and very friendly! Complimentary monkey bread and first mimosa was a huge plus side. Food is delicious! We will be recommending and coming back!”
“So, last night a group of 12 of us supposedly had reservations at the 1700 steak place in the Hilton. Upon arriving they did not have our reservations. Called Bacco to see if they could accommodate our large party. They said they could. I have to say… they were fantastic! We were seated downstairs and our waitress was FANTASTIC! There were some call offs and only two servers and she handled our group like a champ. She was personable,sweet, nice and very engaging and accommodating with anything we asked! I wish I could remember her name but, unfortunately I can’t! We totally enjoyed ourselves and the food was awesome!”
“Just the way my tongue and tummy like their steak.
Cooked to perfection and satisfsction guartanteed.
Exellent servers and birthday wishers fir those special SomeOnes.”
“Taco King was amazing! If you love meat-piled authentic tacos check this place out - I’d never noticed it driving by but sought it out based on high reviews. So glad I did. I’ll be back!”
“Staff was not great me and my friend went to wash our hands and my friend didn’t even run he just skipped to the bathroom and the staff yelled at us for “running”. But overall the Taphouse burger was REALLY good I recommend you guys try it,food was great and the tables and the place was great ⭐️”
“Food was amazing the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars because the table was wobbly and the calamari was terrible. But everything else was super quaint and inviting”
“I live over 2.5 hours away from this restaurant. I make it maybe once or twice a year to my favorite restaurant. I love having the build your own pasta. I started cancer treatment earlier this year and my wife gave me an incentive to get through it by telling me she would take me to Macaroni Grill after I completed the treatments. Today was the day. I am sorry, her name escapes me right now, but our waitress went way above and beyond for us. She got me a slice of key lime pie and had congratulations written on the plate. I am not going to lie, I got emotional. The food was awesome as usual. The 5 hour round trip was more than worth it. My waitress should be employee of the year.”
“Had amazing time every time I visited this place, especially for Halloween we tried a new drink which was awesome the atmosphere and the drinks are a good vibe.I definitely enjoyed how nice the people are that work there. And the music and atmosphere overall is really nice as well!I didn’t know they served food here so next time I will try something simple just to see and I will update this review then.”
“Unfortunately, other patrons were INSANELY loud, and that destroyed my overall experience (aka that's why "atmosphere" was given 1 star). Food was tolerable (definitely not worth the price, but still good), but our waitress was PHENOMENAL. She's the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 3, if I'm being honest.
Vegetarian options: My meal was a Texas tonion, the only vegetarian option (assuming you hate lettuce as much as I do; spinach is best).
Dietary restrictions: Their menu is poorly labeled when it comes to dietary restrictions (gluten free, lactose intolerance, etc)
Kid-friendliness: Considering parents were allowed to let their children scream bloody murder without being asked to leave when I was there last (march 15, 2025), I'd say it's not only child friendly, but shit parent friendly. Shit parents letting their brat scream like a tornado siren ruined our once a year family dinner.
Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp, but it's cracked and clearly not taken care of.”
“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!”
“I live behind the bar so I can hear the music every week. As someone who LOVES to dance and party, I have never felt any desire to go. The DJ there plays the same exact set of songs that are at LEAST 15 years old with a sporadic couple of currents mixed it. Honestly, pretty terrible and Ive always wondered how the establishment has survived thus far.
But on 9/28/2024, don't know if there was a new DJ or the same DJ learned something new, but WOW! The set had me dancing in my house and wanting to get dressed and go over by myself!!! It was sooo good. The mixing, cutting, song variety, PHENOMENAL. So good, I had to come here to tell the owners to fire the old DJ and do whatever you need to do to keep this new one!!! You may finally get me to visit for the first time with this one.”
“Everyone deserves a fighting chance. Haven’t been here and while quite amusing to see a restaurant with a 1 star and 4 reviews I just had to help them get over the hump. Heat up your food and make sure you take care of the ones who take care of you. Good luck Libby’s!!”
“I’m usually not one to write reviews but hopefully this will save someone time. We came on a Sunday, around 5pm and were only the 2nd family dining in the sushi bar area. 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.”
“They definitely did a good job with the recent renovations in the back section. Pong, pool, darts, dance floor, DJ. Everything you need to have a good night out. Smoking is allowed and the atmosphere can definitely get exhilarating.”

My husband and I love dinner there as well. They have very good SENIOR SPECIES MENU”

The food was exactly what you would expect from Olive Garden. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. Good breadsticks and the salad was fresh.
Overall, it was a solid meal and a great choice for a casual and satisfying dining experience. If you're looking for a reliable spot with good food and efficient service, this will do.”
“The food was delicious and the server was friendly and offered suggestions on substitutes. I decided to pair the brisket perogies with the mushrooms and truffles. 🤌”
