We visited on a Tuesday evening. The bar and dining area was a little busy, but we were seated right away. The food was delicious, but the ticket time was a bit slow. Four of us ordered the smash burgers. It was worth the wait. The atmosphere is cozy- eclectic. I recommend.

Nice place, friendly server. I think they might be understaffed. There was a large party beside our party of 8. The large party was against the wall. Despite having the rest of the dining area to work with, our table was placed right next to theirs, about a foot and a half from back to back. Leaving at least 10 ft of open corner space on the other side of our group. We figured our table was moved out possible overflow for the other party. Since it was just our two groups in the dining area, we mentioned moving the table further from the other group to give everyone more space. The waitress said we could, but warned the table was very heavy. We opted not to move it because it shouldn’t be our job. And didn’t want to risk injury. However, the possible settlement injury lawsuit was tempting. The service was slow, but it was just one waitress taking care of easily 30 customers between the two groups. She was nice and cheery, despite being overwhelmed and busy. Food was good, only needed two ‘to go’ containers. Location is out of the way, but not too far of a drive. Portions were nice and everyone went home full.

Have been here twice and have yet to experience respect and good serviceI think it could be because I do not look like a regular but not sure but I can say that at one visit the waitress flippantly tossed a menu at me with no kind of courtesy

Went here twice with family. The food was lack luster at best... Had their burgers, Tacos, onion rings, french fries, and pretzel sticks... Just typical boring food, set at higher than average prices... French fries are extra $ per entree... Don't expect courteous service either... Never have I ever gotten an eye roll from a waitress either... What makes it all oh so awkward... The payment is a handheld electronic device... And the waitress looks over your shoulder while you put in your tip... In summary, this is a boring, overpriced, and awkward restaurant... Your better off at a local pizza shop... At least you'll get better service...

Good food but it can be pricey. We almost ordered cheese fries, but it costs $15 and we all felt that was too much. Meals and service was good.

Spouse's meal was excellent she related. My NY strip was undercooked and very tough. Lots of gristle. They credited $5 on the check.

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.

Great atmosphere and courteous service. I got the chicken and tortellini salad. It was okay for what it was. I would probably return to try something else.

I have been to the Elizabethtown location many times but have just recently visited Mechanicaburg. I was happy to experience the same laid back and welcoming atmosphere. The bartenders are all personable and attentive. Very much a neighborhood bar with a community feel, it’s easy to talk to your bar neighbors and you may even make a new friend while you are there. The menu was reminiscent of Etown with some good options and they do have a special holiday/seasonal menu. Parking is a surface lot but if they are full I believe you can park across the street at Ashcombes but don’t quote me on that.

Wrong flavored wings, waited for ever to get right ones. By that time, wasn't hungry anymore. The quesadilla was hard.Service wasn't the best. BF never offered a refill.Been there before. It's usually very good.
