“This is a great place. Staff very friendly. Did was amazing. My granddaughter had pancakes that were so fluffy and delish. My quiche was the best I ever ate. We will definitely be back!!!”
“I got the lunch buffet on Saturday. The food was awesome. No complaints. The owner is also very kind. I like the idea of having all you want sodas, water, and other drinks available. We are going to come back on a Sunday for the buffet. The owner said they have some different offerings every week. Can't wait. Best Indian restaurant in the area. We will not go anywhere else now that we found this place.”
“Very happy to enjoy another meal here. Everything was delicious, although I would have preferred more cucumbers and onions on my Greek salad. They don't take orders at the tables, which I also prefer. Certainly, neither are reasons to not come back again.”
“Great atmosphere service was prompt and polite. Food took less then 15 min to come out. Food tatse great and plentiful I have not 1 complaint. Will definitely be ”
“I was in on a slow day and it was pretty empty which gave me plenty of time to look around. I loved how big the establishment was and all the available options. I left with some packaged goods but I would love to come back for a real meal sometime. I would go again for sure!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Hemauer Brewing in Mechanicsburg is the best brewery ever. The staff and owners are amazing, friendly, and passionate. The food is great, fresh, and satisfying. The beers are comforting and refreshing, with classic and balanced flavors. Mr. Tank is a must-try, a smooth brew of goodness. Hemauer Brewing is a gem for beer and food lovers.”
“This was such a fun experience. I tried two different teas and they were both tasty. The tea cozy kept the tea nice and hot. The food was very good especially the scones. Shortbread cookies melted in my mouth. Can't wait till I can come back. If you are interested reserve your day on the first day reservations are available because the tea times fill up very quickly.”
“Enjoyed the food and presentation was nice. Service was good. As a career chef I was slightly let down by the giant portion of noodles and the fried noodles on top of my dish vs the seafood portion and lack of any veg in a $25 crab noodle special. Still I’d recommend it, although I would avoid pricey seafood apps and entrees that are skimpy.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Tatiana’s is a gem. We came in for lunch on a cold rainy day and received warm greetings, a cozy atmosphere, and amazing food. The cabbage soup was perfect to chase away the cold and the goulash tasted like it was straight out of babusya‘s cookbook if she was a 5 star chef. We did not have the foresight to save room for dessert - that was a mistake we won’t repeat. Can’t wait to come back!”
“The workers are very nice and personable. We love Middle Eastern food and come from DC area where they have lots of kabab places.We haven't had kabobs, shawarma, and hummus since we went to NYC in November and haven't been here in a while so everything tasted fresh and tasty today. It's like your taste buds and senses re-awaken eating this food, dang, esp the hummus and salads. You feel alive. We love all cuisines and like to eat different types of foods weekly. This place is definitely better than typical American food like at the diners and Cafe Fresco near my house in Linglestown.With tip, about $40. Worth the prices and tastes better than Dave's Hot Chicken down the road or other places.”
“This is a great place. Staff very friendly. Did was amazing. My granddaughter had pancakes that were so fluffy and delish. My quiche was the best I ever ate. We will definitely be back!!!”
“This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. Everything was amazing, fresh,homemade and delicious. Other bakeries have become so commercialized, but Massimos is authentic!!”
“Every time I go to Dalicia I try something new and am never disappointed. Their baked goods rival any bakery in the area and the prices are amazing. I go with a group of 7 people and have always had terrific service.”
“We went for the first time at lunch on a Saturday. Parking is a problem because they are so busy, but businesses across the street are closed on the weekend, so there are spaces there. Once inside, the decor is cute with the garage theme and the seating is in comfortable booths. Service was perfect, fast and friendly (the owner stopped by to check if things were OK.) The Louisiana burger was huge and delicious, if a little heavy on the blue cheese for me. The Buffalo chicken wrap was also good. The only drawback was that the fries were limp instead of crispy, unlike the onion rings which were fantastic! We will definitely go again. And The Bewitching Moon shop next door was interesting, with cool candles (we bought four!)Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu available.”
“Being from New York, it was hard to find good pizza in Pennsylvania, especially in the Mechanicsburg area. However, Giuseppe's is our second favorite pizzeria and our first choice for pizza at short notice because of how close they are. If you're looking for a good pizza, friendly people for a good price in the Mechanicsburg area, I recommend Giuseppe's.Parking: They have a small parking lot surrounding the Pizzeria with parking available next store.”

“It's amazing place for food lover. I really enjoy different food everyday.. my favorite gotalo 2 0 , is awesome...also mango masatani is too good. Guys everyone visit this place.”
“This restaurant is an absolute gem! The ambiance is cozy, the service is top-notch, and the food is simply delicious. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes; each bite is a burst of flavor. Whether you're looking for a casual dining experience or a special night out, Spice Restaurant and Bar delivers excellence in every aspect. A must-visit for food enthusiasts!”

“By far one of the best places I've ever ate at the food the staff everything was amazing wish I lived here to come back. Will def make it my stop to eat anytime I ”
“Stopped here for the first time today for a hot Latte and a Chocolate Chip Cookie. The cookie was phenomenal and the coffee was delicious. This organization helps children in need who are in the foster care system. They help with financial planning, development of daily skills, help these youth obtain a driver's license and much more.I was very happy to support this organization. The service was great. A minor hickup on our drink order that they immediately corrected and apologized for. The staff is very friendly.”
“This place is a little area gem with unique brewed flavors. I believe they specialize in spurs, but had many other options available at our most recent visit last weekend. It’s interior is cute, as you can see. Service is excellent.”

Sapporo East
“Came here after getting shafted at mikado and im pretty sure we made the right decision. As soon as we walked in we were seated and drink order taken, the server was extremely friendly and he was wearing a cat (heavy equipment) shirt. He took our sushi order which was fairly large and our sushi came out fairly quickly and it was delicious. Do yourself a favor and skip the b.s. at mikado, grab yourself some beer or wine and head to sapporo east! It’s b.y.o.b”
“The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It’s definitely, I mean definitely not what you would imagine it would be on the inside when you see it on the outside! That’s for sure! Yes their advertising reads … “Black Tie, Casual Attire, Come As You Are!”This is true … it’s doesn’t matter … however, the environment and atmosphere is lacking a great deal from the staff, the choice of music, PERIOD! The decorum is definitely different, unique, stylish with a lot of flare!! A MUST SEE!I do not prefer ever to leave non-positive feedback especially when the food was as delicious as this. Most importantly, never less than a “3”; however, will share professional areas of opportunity regarding the atmosphere it was lacking something.Our server’s demeanor, though she was somewhat okay, just didn’t seem to enjoy her time there, not a much pleasant demeanor. Though it may very well have been her personality as some people just have this type of personality after all. No fault of hers. She did seem to be trying awfully hard to be nice. I would prefer it for her not to fake it.Simply select a different profession if this doesn’t make one happy. It’s just not worth going in day after day to a miserable job, even if you make tons of money! If you LOVE what you do it will never feel like a JOB!Nonetheless I simply just simply cannot say enough about the food and beverages!! These were photo quality folks! Just look at these!! It is RARE, YES RARE that a CHEF can actually cook EXACTLY to the POINT a RARE burger patty and my sandwich which happen to be a filet mignon was “SPOT ON!”Parking: Plenty of parking available”
Online Reservation Available
“Wooooooowwwwwww. We definitely didn’t expect the food to be this incredible. Super fresh, super delicious - SO HAPPY we live nearby!! We’ll be back! ?Update : we couldn’t stop thinking about it and came back 3 days later ?”
“I am giving a 5 star because the boba drink was very good and the boba wasn’t hard? .I love boba that’s not hard . I would totally recommend people to go there.I can’t wait to try more boba and the food .”
“I was at Thea for lunch today with a friend. I have been here many times and it never disappoints. I made reservations and requested my favorite server, Sarah. As always, Sarah did a stellar job as server and she is always engaging. I had the blackened halibut sandwich and fries, along with fries. It was delicious. I really like the atmosphere here , the food, and Sarah. Look for a reservation from me again soon! Thank you!”
“Our server Taylor was great! Very personable and attentive, she gave us guidance on the menu and we really enjoyed our night. Her energy was a big part of why! :)”
“The food is well executed, I like that it is not your "concrete floor, open space, loud noise" environment, the atmosphere is wonderful for a small gathering. I only wish they had greater selection for a vegetarian who does not like seafood.”
“We tried this place on the recommendation of a friend. We loved it! Chris, our server was excellent! Very friendly and professional. The beers were great. The food was delicious! We will definitely go back.”
“Lahori is the new semi-weekly rotation we have added to our list of restaurants in the area! All of the food we had ordered was delicious: kababs, gyros, paneer, dal, kheer (rice pudding). Naan is the best in the area, very fresh. It is pretty small and no frills in terms of atmosphere. You can eat in or take out. The lunch buffet Friday-Sunday 12pm-5pm is a great deal for $15 a person. Service is friendly. You order at the counter and they bring you your food.”
“Food was ok.Although the buffet items were empty at 12 & no one was there to refill.Server was doing clearance of plates with trolley & open dust bin? with him next to the table where we are eating the food.Management doesn’t seems professional at all- based on the prior comments & restaurant is auto mode.”
“My go-to for Friday lunch. Much better than the other place, I won't name drop, right down the road. Food is always hot, made quick and they never mess my order up. Best place in the area. Prices are great also!”
“I have been on the hunt for the best Chinese restaurant around since I’ve been in the area, and this place is it. For all the veg people looking for good vegetarian/vegan options, this place has the BEST general tso tofu. Everything me and my partner have tried here did not disappoint.”
“The best Chinese Food in the area. I moved to Wormleysburg, but I still think it's worth the drive. Love the lo mein, fried rice, broccoli chicken, general tso chicken, the best sweet n sour soup,”
“No idea this Chinese restaurant was here, I stopped in and ordered sesame chicken, Food was hot and fresh, food was prepared quickly. Employee was very very friendly. They have lots of seating for a big group.”
“This is my goto Chinese takeout place. The staff isn't super friendly. The dining area looks half closed. The food is solid, though. Won't blow your mind, but if you're looking for decent Chinese to go, this is the best around for a few miles.”
“Curbside pickup, so no info on inside of the restaurant. Quick and easy delivery to my car. Very friendly and helpful staff. I still had about 15-20 minutes ride to get home and the food was still good and hot.”
“They were having a trivia type contest. I would have preferred just music.Parking: The parking is all out front. The handicapped parking is hit or miss. About 50% of the time it is full.”

“Time to re-up my review of Pad Thai - stopped in again over the weekend. We each ordered Pad Thai - Chicken, Shrimp, & Beef (all 'mild') and each order was a fantabulous thumps-up (including my picky daughter). Also had the aptly named Fresh Rolls & the Tom Kha soup (LOVE that stuff) - as usual, they knocked it out of the park! As I've come to expect, the service was stellar - with everything coming quickly. Even though the restaurant was busy (Saturday evening), the overall ambience was still quiet & cozy. If ya love Thai - this is the place for you!”
“Beer and wings kind of night!I got Troeg’s Naked Elf beer and Hot Java wings. My dad got Troeg’s Troegenator and Cat’s got your tongue wings.We really enjoyed it and will be back!”

The beers are comforting and refreshing, with classic and balanced flavors. Mr. Tank is a must-try, a smooth brew of goodness. Hemauer Brewing is a gem for beer and food lovers.”
“Got a small pie and tiramisu. Tiramisu was good, pizza wasn't bad at all, a little too greasy than what I am used to even with extra cheese but overall good pie and crust. Would go back.”
“Enjoyed the food and presentation was nice. Service was good. As a career chef I was slightly let down by the giant portion of noodles and the fried noodles on top of my dish vs the seafood portion and lack of any veg in a $25 crab noodle special.

“Small family owned pizza place that prioritizes quality. Kind and competent customer service. Great pizza and even better salads! With their reasonable prices, they are our favorite!”

“What a lucky find! We stopped en route to Maryland and they could not have been nicer. The service was fantastic, and they were able to accommodate the disabled members of my family without question or hesitation, even opening a different section of the restaurant for us to all be able to sit at a table together. The food was brought out quickly, our drink refills were ready before we even asked, and I had the best diner burger I've had in years. I highly recommend this place!!”
“Sophia is wonderful. She has created a little gem with wonderful people and excellent food. My favorite brunch item continues to be this amazing pork chop, so tender, so tasty. Have never had a bad meal here in all the years we have been going.”
“If you love fresh bread and local cheeses, means and veggies, this is the place to be. Fresh figs in season are amazing, the pasties are a treat and the everything bagels (with veggie cream cheese!) are incredible.Vegetarian options: Cheese, bread, fruit and vegetables!Wheelchair accessibility: Convenient parking and no stairs.”

“The best bagels in the greater Harrisburg area. I’m not sure who even comes close!! Soft on the inside, a nice crunch on the outside but not too hard where it messes up the roof of your mouth for days. I love that they have so many deli options for bagel sandwhiches all sliced freshly. I love all their bagels esp the sourdough breakfast sandwiches also hit! Definitely a must stop for bagels!!!”
“Little Mario's Pizza is a great hangout spot with delicious pizza and burgers. I came here with my friend a few days ago and we were blown away by their meat lovers pizzareally nice spot to be at if you live in the suburbs of Harrisburg”

“Probably bought 4-5 bushels in last 3 years. Just purchased bushel of large crabs yesterdayEvery single crab was heavy and a legitimate large crab. I’m from Baltimore originally and would stack Grappling Crab with any crab location in Maryland.As expensive as crabs are these days you want to get your money’s worth. We certainly did. Highly recommend”
“Small Mexican restaurant in the Simpson Ferry strip mall, but great food and prices. Being gluten free, the options were wonderful and marked well!! The Cameron Enchiladas were good as were the chalupas.Dietary restrictions: Superb for gluten free.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“A very nice place to go for a sweet treat. They’re always quick with orders, friendly at the windows, and they seldom make errors. Personally, I just adore their blizzards (they chop up the chunks juuuust right!), but I'm sure the other items are just as good.”
“The restaurant was not busy at all, the prices were great, and when we got the food it looked amazing. It tasted even better than it looked! I never finish a whole burger, but here I did, and their milkshakes were great! For a burger, definitely better than most fast food or restaurant burgers I've had. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean, quiet, and very cute.”
“We’ve been here a few times. Everything is good, fresh and portions are generous. 6 large chicken tenders and a plate full of fries. Boneless Wings excellent and Pizza is addicting. I’ve been many places, this ranks up there. You get what you pay for! Staff is welcoming and kind!”
“Very good pizza! It's a pizza place for sure, but the lovely owners really put their heart and soul into their food, and it shows. One of my favorite places to have a good meal.Kid-friendliness: My son was welcomed. We didn't feel out of place, and they had a high chair.”
“Food is always so delicious. I definitely prefer eating from Chick-fil-A versus other fast foods. I love how friendly the staff typically is at any of the locations.”
“Still my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. They have so many vegetarian options the the other places don't offer. They also will happily customize their dinners for you.Kid-friendliness: Fun colorful atmosphere for kids. Sometimes they mariachi which is fun too!”
“We were in the area staying and wanted a quick bite to eat and have to say this has been the best Arby's we have visited in years. The staff was very friendly and food was definitely worth the ”
“Cons: I did not enjoy the drive through experience on my first visit. Not a great intercom system. Lots of yelling on both sides.Pros: walk inside!! I've ordered in person or on the DD app and walked inside the store and the service was prompt and friendly. Big orders: I walked into the store on a weekday and ordered 2.5 dozen donuts for a class party (plus egg bites and coffee). They were really responsive and had my order complete in a few minutes during the morning rush.Key point: I do not order complicated drinks or food (coffee +donuts +egg bites), so the food comes out as expected.”
“Their food is always good and fresh. The roast beef is always beefy and tender thinly sliced. Shakes cannot be beat. And if you buy your food with coupons that is unbeatable ”
“Wow. I didn't think I'd ever be writing a review for Jimmy John's of all places, but I received some of the best customer service by a nice teen named Max. I wasn't sure what to order, and Max recommended me the #9 (delicious btw) and was super friendly during my whole experience. We had a nice chat and he truly just seems like a genuine guy who loves his job. Don't know how much they make but he definitely needs a raise. Will be back just to see Max again.”
“The man taking our order and payment was very nice. My only issue is that they advertised ghost paper chicken fries, but they were out. No big deal, just a little disappointed.”
“Best taco Bell I've been to in a long time (and I go to many!). Clean, quick service, friendly staff, got everything right, and I also used the app which was great for making customizations. Love the $6 My cravings box!”
“Stellar McDonalds! Run by Manager Lisa, the crew works together like a fine-tuned machine, with smiles on their faces, like they’re super happy to do their best for every customer. Chef Darnell made me the BEST fish sandwich! The fish was thick, flaky white and sat centered on the fresh bun, cheese centered on top, sauce where it’s supposed to be. Dylan was delivering bags out to the cars and taking orders while Zoe took orders and kept everything running smoothly between the kitchen and the front counter. Jennifer saved me $4 by telling me a lot the BOGO deal. The restaurant was clean and the supplies were well stocked. Bravo to this team! If you’re hungry for McD’s, this one is the best!Parking: Parking all around the building and also overflowWheelchair accessibility: Ramp with a wheelchair ♿️ accessible door on the side of the building, easy access from the parking lot”
“This location was amazing. I was in Mechanicsburg on a work related project and stopped in for lunch. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly. That Dave's Tripple hit different. Wendy's makes a delicious burger.”
“Very convenient ordering online with the McD App. Order ahead & food is ready with online order code at drive through or brought out to you in designated parking space. Always good Deals and rewards makes prices lower and portion value much better?”
“The food is well executed, I like that it is not your "concrete floor, open space, loud noise" environment, the atmosphere is wonderful for a small gathering. I only wish they had greater selection for a vegetarian who does not like seafood.”
“Enjoyed our meal. Like their pizza. Salads are fine. Staff was helpful to try to meet our special meal needs. It's generally clean, very roomie, prices were average, decor was pleasing, nice game area for kids too. Good go to place when in town.”

Pho 7 Spice
“Mom and pop Pho place. The chef comes out and gives you your coffee. BEST COFFEE I'VE EVER HAD. I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob and this is legitimately the best coffee I've tasted in a loooong time. It's made with a small amount of water dripped through grounds from a different species of coffee bean. Very similar mouth feel and taste to espresso, but with far less acidity.The Pho is great too.”
Cheap Eats
“The wife and I love this little diner. The prices are so much better than surrounding restaurants for the quality of the food. It doesn't get overcrowded because they have plenty of room.”
“They have an outlet store that sells the breads and rolls at almost half price ?. Only because the bread didn't slice right or it didn't get bagged right. Not a deal breaker for me ?. Still delicious ?.”
“Wonderful experience. Convenient, quick, and delicious. My wife and I love trying their seasonal/monthly specials. We both really enjoyed the red velvet latte today. And I am usually a black coffee guy, but this was quite tasty and flavorful and not overly sweet! Nice, relaxing environment as well. Often have a minimal staff, but they make it work and deliver good product in a timely manner!”
“How do I fairly review a baker that is so obviously committed and passionate about the craft of baking??? And beyond that, a wonderful individual who is committed to sprinkling bits of floury joy to all of those she encounters??We make some awesome cinnamon rolls in our own household, but we happily lay down our rolling pin in order to feast upon the rich decadence that comes from Hattie's Bread Box. Our kids have openly stated that her cinnamon rolls are right up there with the best in the area. Harriet incorporates just the right ratios of everything: icing, cinnamon, sugar, and doughy goodness.And that sourdough!! You can't go wrong with her classic sourdough: great as a grilled cheese, wonderful as a bread pudding, even more amazing as an overnight french toast casserole. But what's even better is that Harriet is a creative genius and comes up with flavor combinations that take her sourdough to the next level. My absolute favorite so-far is the dark chocolate. I have yet to face a loaf of Harriet's bread that has not pleased the palate.She sources ingredients locally...supports mills that are just as passionate about their flours as Harriet is about baking. Harriet knows the craft, understands the science behind it, and gives lots of love to the community. She has earned our customer loyalty and then some.”
“My wife and I had never eaten here before. We got the shrimp and grits which were presented a little differently but pretty darn good for a diner. Very surprised. I got the chicken and waffles which was pretty good. Do the ”
“Another great pregame meal at Dukes! Just a great environment and fun place. Only downside is that Dukes doesn't have the large Nachos at this location...bummer. But what we had we great as always.”
“This place has incredible food and the staff are phenomenal. I talked to the cook the whole time he was making my lunch and what an awesome guy. I even talked to a few regulars, who were sitting there a couple of old army vets, and they raved how this is the best place with the best people, and they were right! I will 100% be back! The fries are awesome, the mozzarella sticks were perfect, the cheesesteak was delicious, and the Italian hoagie with hot peppers was perfect. Truly a treasure in central PA! 10/10”
“I highly recommend trying Sal’s. There are a bunch of micro newer places that have opened up but if you’re looking for really good pizza dough with a really good sauce excellent ingredients you can’t miss here.The front counter takes proper orders listens to what you want. It’s not a restaurant of modern aesthetics or chic looking, but the food is damn good.Parking: You park your car right in front of the building and walk in”
“Place located in a strip mall on Simpson ferry road. Establishment from the outside looks ok, the inside looks a little run down with booths and broken tile. The people at the counter were very nice and the pizza I got was very good. Came out hot and on time. The price was about what's to be expected with inflation. Definitely worth coming here and getting your pizza kicks!”
“Great all around. Cowboy crunch was divine. Was in the area for a work training was able to go in and order and leave very quickly. Seats were available if I wanted to eat there.”
“We travel all over the country by RV, and every time we come back to our home area, Alfredo’s is one of our first stops. We haven’t found any subs with amazing bread across the country that compare. ?”
“This is my absolute favorite Ritas! The staff is so incredibly nice and always ~*slay*~ my crazy gelati orders. :) I wish you were open all year around! thank you ritas of mechancsburg team!”
“I used to order DoorDash when I worked at my old job and one day when I was looking for a place to order cheeseburger subs and I came across Pizza Boli’s. 6-7 months later they are the ONLY place I will get a cheeseburger sub from. They have THE ABSOLUTE BEST subs, pizza, wings, cheesy bread, etc. I have ever said. And I don’t just say that about any place. HIGHLY. HIGHLY recommend anything from here. It’s always delicious!”
“The staff are friendly and seem like they're enjoying themselves, which is something you dont always see! Food was delicious as always. This isn't a place I go to regularly, since it is a bit pricey for a burger place, but when Im in the mood, the crispy fries and a thick shake really hit the spot. I haven't had a sub from here yet, but I've heard good things.Plus, I always have fun doodling something for the cork board while I wait. Having note cards and crayons is a great little gimmick.Dietary restrictions: Peanut oil is the main frying oil, and they sell peanuts in bulk in the building. If you have a peanut allergy, sadly, this place can not accommodate.”
“Food was hit, plentiful and very tasty. I had the cauliflower risotto and scallops. The house made orange vinegrette that I ordered for on my salad was light and tasty but in my opinion could have used a bit more orange flavor.”
“We tried this place on the recommendation of a friend. We loved it! Chris, our server was excellent! Very friendly and professional. The beers were great. The food was delicious! We will definitely go back.”
“We drive up from Lancaster County to enjoy the fine cuisine at Banana Leaf. We rate them better than most Indian food we have enjoyed in Chicago DC or Toronto. We love the masala dosa and various goat and lamb dishes as well as vegetarian. The service is wonderful we enjoy trying recommendations offered.”
“Lahori is the new semi-weekly rotation we have added to our list of restaurants in the area! All of the food we had ordered was delicious: kababs, gyros, paneer, dal, kheer (rice pudding). Naan is the best in the area, very fresh. It is pretty small and no frills in terms of atmosphere. You can eat in or take out. The lunch buffet Friday-Sunday 12pm-5pm is a great deal for $15 a person. Service is friendly. You order at the counter and they bring you your food.”

El Rodeo
“Seated quickly on a Saturday night. A bit surprising as the parking lot was full. The first booth offered to us had very little room, so we were moved to a round booth in corner. Very nice. More quiet.The server was quick to the table and with drinks. She took our dinner orders without an issue. She had questions later and returned to ask for clarification.The food took a bit longer than expected, but not surprising because of the questions.”
“Several gluten-free options!! Fantastic place!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free rolls for hot and cold subs. Gf Pizza, penne and Ravioli! I can't say enough about how happy I have been with every purchase!”
“This is THE BEST PIZZA!!!!!!! And the cheesesteaks are the bomb!!!! Pizza crust is PERFECT! Cheese PERFECT!!! Smooth real italian sauce PERFECT!! Owners Sal and Lucia PERFECT! Cant believe ive lived bere for 3yrs without this place. MANGA!”
“Love this place! Nothing but good vibes when you're at High Road Taproom. The atmosphere is relaxing yet fun. I love to sit outside with a cocktail and enjoy the view of the nearby park. They have a wide variety of delicious drinks, games to play, and sometimes they bring in food trucks, live music, and trivia. High Road is truly a hidden gem!”

“It's small but quaint and fun. Good food and beverages. When I'm in the area, I like to stop for takeout. I always enjoy the staff's suggestions. Great place!!”
“Kindest folks I've come across in a long time. Being by myself, I sat at the bar so not to take up table space. One of the cooks was having dinner and we had good conversation. He was proper and kind. The bar tendress was very kind and didn't skip a beat being as busy as they were. There was a young lady that was taking out the pickup orders and when I asked her a question she had no problem stopping to assist me. All had great spirits and made me feel so comfortable. The next time I go through the area I will stop in again for such great service. BTW, The steak was perfect.”
Latest Reviews
“I want to share my excellent visit to this Cracker Barrel. Desaray H was my server. Of all Cracker Barrel that I have visited, Desaray is in the top 5% of the EXCELLENT servers who I call a "Super Server". When I sat down, Desaray was quick to come to my table to get my order (under 3 minutes). This time the cooks on the cook line were very prompt to complete my order. I know this by how warm my dinner was. I had three follow-up visits from her before she brought me my check. As a prior Restaurant Manager myself at Shoney's, I would say Desaray did everything by the book. This is why I call Desaray a "Super Server". After my dinner was over, I spoke to the manager telling him the great service I received from Desaray. I told the manager that I plan to do a review on her. WELL DONE Desaray!!!”
“I really enjoyed my dining experience. I received excellent service. My server(Alex was her name) was an absolute delight. She was very attentive and made sure the order came out right and our drinks were never empty. I will definitely be returning.”
“Typical bar and grill. People at the bar drinking and others eating at tables. Pricing is reasonable. The honey BBQ wings and sweet potato fries I had were delicious.”
“I was in on a slow day and it was pretty empty which gave me plenty of time to look around. I loved how big the establishment was and all the available options. I left with some packaged goods but I would love to come back for a real meal sometime. I would go again for sure!”
“Tatiana’s is a gem. We came in for lunch on a cold rainy day and received warm greetings, a cozy atmosphere, and amazing food. The cabbage soup was perfect to chase away the cold and the goulash tasted like it was straight out of babusya‘s cookbook if she was a 5 star chef. We did not have the foresight to save room for dessert - that was a mistake we won’t repeat. Can’t wait to come back!”
“What a lucky find! We stopped en route to Maryland and they could not have been nicer. The service was fantastic, and they were able to accommodate the disabled members of my family without question or hesitation, even opening a different section of the restaurant for us to all be able to sit at a table together. The food was brought out quickly, our drink refills were ready before we even asked, and I had the best diner burger I've had in years. I highly recommend this place!!”
“Great BBQ, great people, great prices. Being in the shop is always a treat.Dietary restrictions: Fries, chips, sauces and meat are gluten free.Uses a separate fryer to cook gluten items.”

“Having lived in Nepal in the 1970s, we can vouch for the authenticity of the flavors in Durbar's cuisine. We chose the buffet option, and will return to sample individual dishes in the future. Altogether excellent experience. Very flavorful food and nice presentation. Service was also very good.”

“We went for the first time at lunch on a Saturday. Parking is a problem because they are so busy, but businesses across the street are closed on the weekend, so there are spaces there. Once inside, the decor is cute with the garage theme and the seating is in comfortable booths. Service was perfect, fast and friendly (the owner stopped by to check if things were OK.) The Louisiana burger was huge and delicious, if a little heavy on the blue cheese for me. The Buffalo chicken wrap was also good. The only drawback was that the fries were limp instead of crispy, unlike the onion rings which were fantastic! We will definitely go again. And The Bewitching Moon shop next door was interesting, with cool candles (we bought four!)Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu available.”
“Great service, very fresh, juicy, great quality food... I can feel like my pancreas easily releases juices to digest the Chicken ? marsala I ordered.... thank you, the best phrase you want to hear from the customer:"I AM COMING AGAIN!"Dmitry Leiderman.”
“Wooooooowwwwwww. We definitely didn’t expect the food to be this incredible. Super fresh, super delicious - SO HAPPY we live nearby!! We’ll be back! ?Update : we couldn’t stop thinking about it and came back 3 days later ?”
“They were having a trivia type contest. I would have preferred just music.Parking: The parking is all out front. The handicapped parking is hit or miss. About 50% of the time it is full.”
“Wow. I didn't think I'd ever be writing a review for Jimmy John's of all places, but I received some of the best customer service by a nice teen named Max. I wasn't sure what to order, and Max recommended me the #9 (delicious btw) and was super friendly during my whole experience. We had a nice chat and he truly just seems like a genuine guy who loves his job. Don't know how much they make but he definitely needs a raise. Will be back just to see Max again.”
“Another great pregame meal at Dukes! Just a great environment and fun place. Only downside is that Dukes doesn't have the large Nachos at this location...bummer. But what we had we great as always.”
“Great tuna clubs and tuna melts! I ordered breakfast the last time we went. It came out on 3 plates: eggs, hashbrowns, toast on one plate, 2 pancakes on a 2nd plate and scrapple on a 3rd plate...lots of food. Thank goodness someone helped eating it.”
“Always a good place to go. I recommend sticking to the main menu not the special menu. The temperature specials can be hit or miss.Parking: The parking is all out front with plenty of handicapped parking.”
“This restaurant is an absolute gem! The ambiance is cozy, the service is top-notch, and the food is simply delicious. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes; each bite is a burst of flavor. Whether you're looking for a casual dining experience or a special night out, Spice Restaurant and Bar delivers excellence in every aspect. A must-visit for food enthusiasts!”
“Popular place on Carlisle Pike serving breakfast, lunch & dinner. Have been there for breakfast and lunch a few times and the food is good at a reasonable price. It's our favorite diner behind CC's Kitchen in downtown Mechanicsburg.”
“Hands down the best ice cream in town! Shirley Rae's never disappoints. I appreciate that they use high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference in every bite.”
“Love this little extension of Thailand. The decor is over the top! It's a bit too expensive for a regular night out. Plentyb9f food to take home for another meal. Good service and food. I highly suggest reservations on the weekend!”

“Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available.Kid-friendliness: There is no playground, so I probably won't take my family here. It's a brand new restaurant, so I don't know why they didn't just add a playground while they were building it.”
“I saw that this place had a negative review and I couldn’t let Charley’s go out like this. This Charley’s is great! The food was great, they get my order right every time, and the service is great as well! The team there is a little different then what this area may be used to however I love that they are finally becoming more diverse in this area. So to person who left a bad review, what truly did you have an issue with? I have no affiliation at all with Charley’s but I can’t stand this area of Mechanicsburg people think they are so entitled and they aren’t open to change.”
