Mary responded to my request within hours, then we had a great conversation and she sent me a quote quickly, and recommended a place to rent a tent and chairs and such.

If you are looking for a caterer you can count on, Macri's is your place. It's always a little nerve wracking picking a company out of the blue, but Thank You Mary. Wonderful job!

I was disappointed that my client was having a difficult time making a decision, but I appreciated this company's manner and customer service throughout the process.

This place started showing up in my social media feeds constantly. All day. Every day. Smoked meat?…read moreI'm listening. Smoked meat and homemade peanut butter pie? In the same building?! Immediate must-try status. I hatched a plan to visit on a chilly January Friday night, knowing they'd recently been selling out of items before their posted 7pm closing time. The target: 5:30pm. Risky enough to feel exciting, early enough to still secure smoked meat. A calculated move. Get Smok'd is located in a strip mall, and when I arrived, most of the front parking spots were full. Brief "oh no" moment...then I snagged a spot from someone pulling out and hustled inside. The dining room was much more spacious than it looked from outside, though many tables were already filled. I stepped up to the counter fully prepared--having studied both the menu and their social media all week in belly-growling anticipation. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with street corn and a fountain soda. Adventure Buddy went with the Lamb Gyro special, coleslaw, and a soda. Total for dinner came in around $40, which felt very reasonable for the amount of food. We timed it perfectly. About 10 minutes after we arrived, a large party of ~20 people walked in and filled a reserved table. More folks followed right behind them and suddenly the place was packed, buzzing, and running low on seats. Lamb Gyro: Fantastic. The smoke really came through on the lamb, and the tzatziki was super cucumber-forward, which Adventure Buddy loved. It was also a generous portion for the price--always appreciated. Street Corn: First off, the presentation was on point. The husk flared out like a little sunburst--very eye-catching. The cook on the corn was perfect, seasoning was just right, and the ear itself was a great size. Goldilocks corn. Coleslaw: This one missed the mark for us. The cabbage itself was fine, but the dressing was very bland and there was a lot of it--bordering on cold coleslaw soup territory. Not our thing, though it might work for some. Pulled Pork Sandwich: The pulled pork? Fabulous. Moist, juicy, perfectly smoky. I paired it with the Lawd That's Good traditional sweet sauce and ate every last bite of the meat. The roll, however, didn't live up to the pork--it felt like an odd mismatch. I skipped the bread and focused on the star of the show. Peanut Butter Pie: I...was not prepared. I did not expect a smoked meat joint to casually deliver one of the best peanut butter desserts I've had in a long time. This isn't a slice--this is a personal peanut butter pie. I'd guess 5-6 inches wide, about 1.5 inches thick, served in its own tin and piled high with whipped cream. This wasn't dessert--this was an entire second meal. At $10, it was worth every single penny, and I seriously debated ordering another. I will absolutely be back just for this pie. Overall, Get Smok'd BBQ earns a solid 5 stars from both me and Adventure Buddy. Friendly staff who checked in, meat smoked to perfection, and a peanut butter pie that completely stole the show. Good lawd! PRO TIP: If you're planning to visit later in the day, check Get Smok'd on social media first. They sell out. Early. Often. Don't waste a trip just to find locked doors and shattered BBQ dreams. This place is hot right now--and very much worth the visit if there's still smoked meat left to be had!

My friend and I ate there last night. Excellent. He had the 2 meat platter with 2 side dishes and…read moresaid they were excellent. I had the double Patty smash burger with bacon and it was one of the best burgers I have had. There was also some homemade pickle Chips that were delicious. We split a PB pie. I hope they do coconut pie at some point. My only critique is the burger (all sandwiches) should come with potato chips. Or fries but I am thinking they don't have a fryer there. I didn't mind the price of the burger but the sides were too expensive for me to add. I just wanted something more with that burger. If that burger had Chips would be 5 stars. Highly recommend this place. I look forward to eating there again.

(Note: I've often found this restaurant space to be cold inside, even when it was Home 231.) We were served by an incredible young server, Jonathan, who looked after our every need. We were also visited tableside by Chef/Owner Geno Goodman, and had a nice conversation about the restaurant biz. Our food was delicious. We started with the smoked deviled eggs, which were nicely smoked and seasoned. B had a special, branzino, with collards and Mac and cheese. I decided on a small rack of ribs with collards and corn on the cob. Everything was simply wonderful. The ribs were falling off the bone and amply sauced. We were interested in desserts, but decided against until next time. That won't be too long. I think we have a new Harrisburg favorite! Thanks, Geno and Jonathan!

In summer 2012 I attended a wedding at Harmony Hall, run by Karen Catering. I did not like anything…read moreabout the wedding, the food was served cold. I had a steak that was so cold I could barely cut into it. My fiance, at the time, had a salmon and he nearly choked on a bone!! It was so gross. The bride of this wedding is family and anytime you bring up her wedding she nearly cries. She told us she was promised so many details that never came through. Karen ruined her wedding. Fast forward to 2013 and I am planning my own wedding, I contacted the Civic Club who said (at that time) Karen was their exclusive caterer. I contacted her and she was extremely difficult to work with. She refused to meet us with out us signing a contract that we would definitely use her. She didn't want us to waste her time. Upon asking around I heard more horror stories from friends in the media that she is awful to work with. At the end of the day I was devastated I couldn't use the Civic Club for my wedding due to Karen. Now in 2015 after speaking with the Civic Club board they told us all about the slew of complaints they received from events held with Karen. The only upside is now as I am planning my Baby Shower the civic club has opened up to a select few caterers including Patti. Patti has been a DREAM to work with, and everything that Karen is not.
