So, my neighbors and I randomly selected Babe's Grill House this past Saturday. The ratings averaged a 4.7 on Google with around 1260 people rating it. With my job, I eat out quite a bit so it takes a little more to impress me. First, the staff was great! The owner even came around to make sure all was good. Everything is local bought, and top quality produce and meat is selected.The Salmon/Brisket combo that I ordered was beyond good! If you are within an hour drive from Palmyra, you need to try this place. Not really for families with young children, but it would make a wonderful date night. (or apology meal. LOL) I will be going back here for sure. Especially this summer when the outdoor seating is open. read more

I've been to Babes many times over the years, but it's been a minute since I've been in Palmyra. Based on memories and a dinner experience this time, it's arguably the best restaurant in town. They took one of the classic homes on Main Street and turned it into a restaurant, with lots of outdoor seating on a patio out front, a bar and high top area in the main room to the right, but quieter dining in the back and upstairs. It's bright and clean, but still keeps that old feel. They have a full menu; this visit I was in with a friend and we both opted for steak dinners, which are served with choice of sides and sauce. Prices are reasonable for the area and quality of the food, but definitely higher than a typical meal out in town. They also have a wonderful beer list, with lots of local choices and fresh kegs. Service was great, we had a friendly server who was attentive all evening. I can definitely see why this place is still around and as popular as ever; if you're looking for something a little more special in the area, this is worth the trip. read more

We went in July last year and few times before that and we haven't been there since....every time we would eat there we would get food poisoning. The people there are very very nice but the only thing would be food poisoning. read more

June 2025 Babe's Grill House - Great Return Visit, Tasty Food & Friendly People My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner before heading to the bowling alley for the Dutchman Tournament. At first, I didn't recognize the name when looking up places to eat nearby, so I told my wife, "Let's give this one a try." As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, it hit me -- we had been here before, but it had been years, pre-COVID. We sat at the bar, which wasn't too busy -- just a few locals enjoying food and drinks. The bartender greeted us right away and asked if we were eating or just having drinks. We were there for food, and both ordered iced tea (I figured I'd wait until after bowling for anything stronger). My wife had the Smoked Brisket Dip with house chips. She said the brisket was tender, though she wished it had more onions and less bread. The house chips were excellent -- tossed in ranch seasoning, which added great flavor. She mentioned the sandwich would've been even better served on ciabatta like mine. I had the Spiced Pig -- pulled pork with BBQ sauce and fried jalapeños on ciabatta, plus really good fries. Everything was hot, flavorful, and fresh. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. The other people at the bar were friendly (most seemed to be regulars -- one even lived right behind the place). The owner stopped by to ask how our meal was, and before we left, he gave us a couple of free drink coupons for a new restaurant he just opened. That personal touch really stood out. We'll definitely be back -- great food, great service, and a nice local vibe. read more

Cowboy ribeye was bland and about 1/4" thick with very little flavor. Service was very good but tables and chairs need updating badly.

Delicious, freshly made food. Attentive, courteous service. Atmosphere is quaint, the restaurant is in an old house. Multiple floors. Free parking lot behind the restaurant. Excellent portion sizes at fair prices. Highly recommend the appetizer wings read more

The food is excellent as is the service. Would recommend for a delicious meal! Many of their meats are smoked on site & are very good.

I hate to do this because I don't know if they had an off night or not. My wife went in for an early dinner Saturday afternoon. It was not busy. The service was great and so were the cocktails. The food was not great. I had the fish and chips. It just lacked flavor but the chips were great. My wife's ribs were a bit dry, the carrots were flavorless, and the Brussel sprouts were lackluster. We ordered dessert since there were such glowing reviews on Yelp. The carrot cake was not good. It was dry and tasted like stale supermarket cake. My wife's chocolate cake was better but it was just "okay". I would come back for the cocktails, the ambiance, but not really the food. I just have to wonder if I came on an off day, like I said. I really wanted it to be great. For the near $150 bill, it should have been. read more

My husband and LOVE this restaurant! I always want to try something new but I can't ever stop getting the smoker wings. They are my favorite. My husband tried everything and I usually have a little and it's always amazing! The staff are always friendly and just cool to talk too. We highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We were a party of six dining at Babe's for the first time. Chuck was our waiter. Outstanding! Everything was outstanding! There were lots of choices on the menu and Chuck guided us through our choices and was so helpful. Cocktails were exceptional. The charcuterie board we had to start our dinner was wonderful. It was so fresh and the cheese, meats, honey, etc. were so tasty. It was a nice large board of yummy food. Wings were very good with their sauces. We all had various steaks with some of us adding a crabcake to the plate. The steaks were cooked perfectly and all of them arrived at the same time! Crabcakes were as good as the steaks. Most of us had the glazed carrots and Boursin mashed potatoes as our sides. They were so delicious and freshly prepared. Compliments to the chef! Best carrots and mashed potatoes I have ever had. It was really upscale eating in a cozy, comfy environment that wasn't pretentious. Our waiter refreshed our water and delivered second drinks quickly. Chuck was humorous and very knowledgeable and attentive. Most of us have leftovers to enjoy. We were so full that we had one dessert to share. Lava cake with ice cream, and it was vanilla with caramel which was so delicious and different. The manager came upstairs to make sure everything was ok and chatted about the place and answered questions we had about where the fresh food was sourced. This was a really excellent Farm to Table dining experience that delivered in every way. We all can't wait to come back to try other menu items! BRAVO!

You know you're in the right place when you can smell the BBQ even before you get to the door. I enjoyed that as soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted with so many festive Halloween decorations. I don't know why, but I get such happy positive vibes. Whether you're here to drink, eat, or both, it just sets the mood. I came here to place an order for take-out but left with so much more. While I was waiting for my food, I ended up talking to one of the owners. I was taken aback when he thanked me for coming here. It's my first time here. I was like, ok. He told me that they have been open for 13 years now. He showed me the outdoor eating area and explained to me the typical layout they have on warm nights and game nights, etc. They have a fire pit similar to what they use for their bbq and a projector to play the game for everyone to watch outside. Visualizing what he said, I can only imagine it gets super packed here on the weekend. Even on that cold night, he had turned the fire on for me to be able to take pictures and see the full vibe. It was so cool. I highly doubt my pictures can do it justice. I was very thankful that he took the time to share that with me. They were pretty busy, too. We ordered: 1. Pineapple jule margarita - This was yummy and warmed me up while waiting for my to-go order. 2. Wagyu dip - I forgot what this was called, but it was delicious with the tortilla chips. Super flavorful. Once you start eating it, you can't stop 3. Smoked Brisket sandwich with fries - The brisket was tender and juicy. The bread was nice and fluffy. It just melts in your mouth. Fries were amazing. 4. 2 item deconstructed plate 1/2 rack St. Louis Ribs and local spicy sausage with homemade bbq chips and mashed potatoes - The ribs literally fall off the bone tender, and the spicy sausage wasn't spicy but flavorful with all the seasonings. The chips were tasty. I didn't care too much for the potatoes. 5. Chocolate cake - moist chocolate cake 6. Pumpkin cheesecake - This was light and not too heavy. It tasted like it was homemade. 5. Snickers cake - I liked this it wasn't a generic candy car cake where they put pieces of the candy bar on top. It tasted like it was homemade and re-created it to taste similar to a snickers bar. Thank you very much for the warm hospitality. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back soon. read more

Was immediately greeted upon entry, I search Google before checking this place out. The reviews of the chocolate expresso drew me in. The bartender was friendly and the bar patrons seemed very happy. My drink did not disappoint. The food was not great. The general manager did stop over . I appreciated that. The food wasn't to my liking or my sons. The fries contained diced chicken but pulled and the chicken was rather cold for a 7$ up charge for chicken that was not it. Needed more cheese. Burger was dry. Staff was friendly. Place nice but..... read more

Good place for a late night bite! Food was fantastic and the staff outstanding and attentive. One of our group sold his shirt! We will definitely go back when we are in the area. read more

LOVE this place! Anytime we are in the area we always stop. Anything here is good, but anything coming from their smoker is 10/10!

The food was disappointing. I had the brisket which was dry and served cold. The manager explained it had been prepared two days prior. Caesar salad ser ed in a bowl with wilted lettuce and creamy dressing was inedible. Dirty martini was served warm and had way too much olive juice. The service was best described as indifferent which leads you to believe complaints aren't unusual. The French fries were good. read more

Came in for lunch and drinks and Adam was out bartender. He picked our cocktails and it blew me away. He truly cares about his drinks and sticks the landing. 10/10 recommend to anyone. read more

Went back to Babe's the very next day (Saturday night. Make a reservation because it gets super busy) because it was so good. We were seated outside on the beautifully decorated patio!! And we were lucky enough to get the best waitress again!!! KrisTEN is by far the sweetest person ever. We hugged and made plans to see each other again!!! This time we got shrimp tacos YUM!! The girls got the boneless chicken wings, loaded tots and French fries. My friend got the brisket tacos. OH and the sausage appetizer was amazing! Also need that recipe!! The food did not disappoint! It was so good. I'm so happy we found this place. Don't miss it!!!! See you soon! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday with some of the girls, bartender Adam was right off the bat friendly and interested. He made us specialty drinks that were delicious! read more

To begin with, I can't completely review this place because we didn't stay. The ambiance was definitely cool and the food smelled amazing! We were told 30 minutes wait. We inquired about the nice patio they had. I'm assuming the person we interacted with was a manager/owner. He told us he was not about to go outside again and wipe down the patio since it was going to rain. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, but ... we found that odd. Then were told the wait would probably be 45-60 minutes. We left because we weren't going to beg to give this place our money... we were dressed appropriately and definitely weren't rude. Funny, 30 minutes later we drove by and there were people eating on patio. We eat, shop, and spend local... so we found another local gem which was outstanding and welcoming! read more

Babes Grill House in Palmyra, Pennsylvania, offers impeccable service and unbelievably good cocktails. The relaxed atmosphere complements the top-notch service, food, and drinks. We sampled three cocktails, starting with the aptly named "First Impression" (pictured with review). If every first date made this good of a first impression, there would be a rush on wedding chapels in Vegas. Next, we tried the blood orange espresso martini; if you think you've had a good espresso martini, get to Babes Grill House and reevaluate your definition of delicious. Finally, we tried a new drink, a tequila old-fashioned. Even if you're not an old-fashioned or tequila fan, you'll find yourself savoring every last smooth drop. For dessert, we had the peanut butter pie and cheesecake, both of which were up to par. The staff will welcome you, and you'll have a hard time leaving. Our bartender, Adam, suggested everything based on our individual tastes and offered us cocktail options that we will be talking about for years to come. If you're ready for a cocktail journey that will titillate your taste buds in an atmosphere that appeals to everyone from simple tastes to the most discerning, Babes Grill House is the place to be. read more

An ode to the lord of liquor (Best bartender around) His hands, deft poets, in crystal compose, A sonnet of citrus, of lavender's prose; Gin sighs to vermouth in a ballroom embrace, Bitters bow gently, old fashions find grace. No trifling libations this artist designs-- But visions distilled through the grandest of minds. A martini, austere as a Bennet's resolve, A julep whose mint whispers secrets unsolved. With spirits his craft rings true, May the Lord of Liquor pour one for you! read more

So we were looking for a restaurant that was open after 9 and we found Babes. I'm glad we did! The service was the min we walked in was great, Jake took care of us and was super friendly and personable. The food was delicious and came out fresh and quick! The suggestion of the Brussels sprouts were spot on and I'm glad I got them. I ordered the ribs with shredded Brussel sprouts and Parmesan orzo, absolutely delicious. The bartender also did an awesome job with the drinks. We spoke with manager Bill to let him know how happy we are with our experience. Cute place and it made us feel Comfortable with the music and vibes. We're visiting from New Jersey but will 100% be coming back!!! read more

Another great find in Hershey. Service was excellent and food was really good. If you're looking for a laid back place to watch a game, hang out with family/friends, or just a restaurant with good food/service, then definitely check out Babes Grill House. Stopped by Babes for dinner after spending the day at Hershey Park. There weren't many late night dining options on a Sunday, and we weren't so sure this place was kid friendly. However, they were very welcoming here. We sat downstairs where there were a few high top tables and mainly seating around the bar. Service was very prompt and friendly. Started off by sharing Babe's style tots, which were tater tots topped with bacon, cheddar jack, jalapenos, and ranch. Portion size was pretty decent, and was more than enough for two adults and two kids. This can be a filler, though, so watch out! By the time our meals came around, everyone was on their way to being stuffed already. For my main, I had an order of their jalapeno BBQ wings (rate spice level 5). Wings were cooked nicely, and were very plump. I didn't find the wings to be spicy at all, though. On a scale of 1-10, I would definitely rate the spice level a 2 or so. I also tried some of the burger (which was very juicy!) and smoked brisket (super tender and flavorful). Both were good. If you're in the mood for BBQ, definitely suggest getting an item or two from their deconstructed plates. read more

Good was delicious. Service was great. Quaint establishment we found on a whim-boy I'm glad we did!!

I have nothing but love for Babes. My friend and I decided on this spot because it was practically one of the only places in Hershey open on a Sunday night at 11:00. When I called to verify the hours, I was informed that the kitchen would close at 10, so we had to get there post haste. Babes is tucked away in a dimly lit neighborhood, which made us a little uneasy at first, but heck, hunger prevailed. The restaurant/bar is in a house with original design- very cool original woodwork and nice art, but again it was about the food. Drinks? Yep, Prosecco for my friend and a lager for me. What about the food? We both ordered fish and chips which were probably the best that I might have ever had. The fish was thick meaty bites of goodness with a light airy batter. The fries were perfectly seasoned and disappeared from my plate way too soon. Staff was efficient and friendly enough. I hope to find myself back at Babes sooner than soon. There are so many other items in their menu to try out, which could warrant even more follow up trips. read more

The place is a little hard to find, but well worth it you have to drive down an alley to get to the entrance and find parking but once you get there and walk inside, you'll be greeted immediately with a smile. Staff is friendly and the ambience is very trendy. This is the place to go in West Hanover if you love meat, meat, meat! The barbecue was good and the specialty sausage is to die for. That's saying a lot for a Texan. I rounded my meal out with some mashed potatoes and asparagus. I wasn't disappointed. All in all, I would definitely eat here again. read more

We placed a call for take out. It was a large order (didn't get it all pictured) but the woman who took my order was super nice and patient. The spicy wings we ate happy to get the sauce on the side because it tasted like the bomb hot sauce (which is super spicy). But the chicken is cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious and we had no complaints. Just good classic meals. The restaurant is a house, and there was parking in the back lot. It was small but there's plenty of spaces back there. read more

We had a very nice lunch at Babes. The kids had a burger and chicken bites which they liked. The fries were well seasoned and crispy. We had the burrata salad with salmon which was very good and the grilled chicken sandwich which came with burrata and pesto and garlic aioli on top and was excellent, definitely the highlight. We also had the sweet chili chicken wings which were very good. And the roasted carrots in maple sauce were delicious but definitely sweet. All around a great place to stop for lunch and we'd come back! read more

It was about 930 on a weekday and we were struggling to find a restaurant that didn't close soon and Babes was open until 1100 unlike everyone else whom closed at 10. Babes was on our "must try" list so we shot over. We arrived and after about 3 mins, we were greeted by the GM, Ed, whom displayed a warm and welcoming aura and was just the top tier example of what customer service should be. He is an absolute gem to this establishment. They were on the late night menu, which was understandable, but he offered us that if we wanted something from the main menu he would get it made for us. We ended up just sticking to the late night menu and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and she had the boneless wings in garlic and parm. I washed it down with an old fashioned. Their was a live DJ, which for a Monday night took us by surprised but it was well received. Ed alone is enough for us to return but with great food and atmosphere I would recommend this to anyone. Definitely will be back to try the full menu! read more

Babes Grill House - Pulled pork with fries and boneless garlic and parm wings - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

Had a island breeze drink, smoked wings, spicy sausage, classic burger and the cowboy ribeye. Drink was alright. Would ask for a double the amount of rum next time. Barely felt or tasted any. Everything else was great, I personally think the wings are a bit over rated but by no means bad. Still amazingly delicious. Got it so are maple spice sauce and doom. The 2 hottest they have. The spice level between them is so drastically different. Wish they had something more in between. The steak and burger...holy crap. Been to a bunch of steakhouses and I can only think of 1 that can out steak them. Fantastic. The burger is just a classic good ass American burger. I requested mustard. Service was fantastic, people were great. Super accommodating, honest and forgiving. When I asked for wings I never specified boneless or bone in. They brought me boneless. (To be honest if you're getting wings, bone in should be the default.) but they apologized to me and got me the bone in right away. I never specified, but the server was super nice, and kept telling me it was his fault. I did not expect such amazing food from this dive bar. 10 out of 10 would go again. read more
