14 Best American Restaurants in Harrisburg

“We came here for dinner after a tournament my daughter had today. Food was so so good . We had a brisket wood fire pizza , salad and my daughter had a chicken sandwich. We were waited on by Betsy . So nice and super helpful when it came to helping us pick from their menu / beer selection since it was our first time here . Would definitely recommend!“

“We go to eat breakfast at Tito’s almost every Saturday morning. The service is good and the food is always hot and delicious. The owner is very cordial and always makes you feel welcome.“

“Overall the experience was good. Our server spoke so fast we all thought she was speaking a foreign language. After she slowed down, which seemed to be a challenge, we understood. I recommend the buffalo cauliflower. Very good for a gluten free app. However, and I have got this before. When the app arrived at the table it was half a small plate with the other half being shaved carrots and shaved celery. The previous time it was a tiny garnish of carrot and celery, not half the plate. If I wanted salad I would have ordered one. Cold shrimp app special was good. Pineapple salsa was the star of that plate. Hummus app with gluten free option was very good. My brother got risotto with shrimp and scallops. Very good but very heavy. Only able to eat half the plate. I got lamb loin which was cooked perfectly. I got the chimmicuri on the side and pomegranate relish(pomegranate seeds) also on the side. Chimmi- was not for me but the pomegranate worked well. It was served with mashed sweet potato and Brussels sprouts. Mashed was good not great Brussels were dry and under seasoned. The waitress noted that its usually mixed with the chimmi. (Brussels and mint forward chimmi) ....pass. I asked for some butter and they were good. My sister in law had a wine flight. ( 3 full sized glasses about a quarter full) had all three of us done a flight, the booth table would have been full. This was my 2nd visit and it was not as good as my first. First visit had more specials, more interaction with the server. Food was off the chart delicious, portions were more than generous. As stated before about the buffalo cauliflower....three of us shared the same app and it was more than enough. As opposed to my carrots and celery with the garnish of buffalo cauliflower this time. Overall it was good and I recommend it. Its more of a special night out place. I will probably ably go back but it will be awhile. I feel they should post their specials daily.“

“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 tried the chicken and French toast, and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere has a timeless charm that makes the experience even better.“

“We enjoyed the casual atmosphere yet sophisticated menu and food selections. We tried different items during 3 visits - swordfish, scallops and seafood special. All were delicious! We also had mussels in beer broth and chicken flatbread - both excellent choices for appetizers or light meal. Staff is friendly and professional. Would definitely make it a stop on our next trip to the Harrisburg PA area.“

“My man and I tried the Valentine's special -- Surf and Turf loaded potato. 10/10!!“

“Went today on an impromptu date with hubby. Got there about 5:30. Only a few cars in the parking lot. Walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile and taken to a booth at our request. Can't remember the hostesses name but she had long braids with red I believe, very kind.

Was taken to our booth and after a few months were greeted by our server Isaac. Isaac was very kind and attentive despite being the only server for majority of the restaurant. Was it the fastest dinner we had, no but did he constantly give us an update or check in when passing our table, absolutely. Admittedly my husband and I are very forgiving of servers in general but especially those working hard which Isaac definitely was. We both ordered entrees and did the garden bar add on. The garden bar was fully stocked, clean and everything very fresh. It was so good I didn't touch my dinner and just enjoyed 2 salads and brought my meal home. My husband did the same. My strawberry lemonade was lovely and my husband's blue raspberry sprite was good as well. The drinks being $5 a piece was rude lol but good nonetheless. We forgot to take pictures of our meals but they came out looking good. I got the steak and ribs with mashed potatoes and he got the French onion burger with tots. We did get a picture of dessert which was a brownie sundae. We never order dessert but man are we glad we did. The brownie was warm and rich and went well with the vanilla ice cream. That was $10 but well worth it and plenty for two adults to share. If you're in a rush for a super fast meal this may not have been the place for you. But if you want a clean atmosphere, kind staff and delicious food then I couldn't recommend it more! We will definitely be back and will ask for Isaac for sure!

Update! Had the ribs at home.... FALL OFF THE BONE! (Throws glasses) TENDERNISM!!!🤣“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️“
