It's a center of commerce and social activity for the community. Generally clean and open during normal business hours, Strawberry Square contains some good restaurants in the food court and elsewhere. A couple banks and many offices make this a convenient location for all downtown workers. Some businesses have closed and others appear to be struggling, much like Harrisburg itself. It's better than it used to be and hopefully continues an upward trend in the coming years.

Like Christopher, I don't understand why there are so many haters for Strawberry Square. This fancy centerpiece of Harrisburg is a shopping arcade with all kinds of stuff. It's modest, but like the man said it's not meant to be freaking Tyson's freaking Corner is it. It's not really my scene - but it does give Harrisburg a little modernity that it desperately is crying out for. It's big and fancy and gets the job done. Like immigrants in Hamilton.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.

I've not tried any of the other dishes. To make it clear, the 5 star review is for the dish which I've eaten multiple times during last several months. It's called "Firecracker Chicken". True to it's name, it is VERY spicy. In fact, I believe that it is the spiciest dish you will find in the Harrisburg metro area! I love it though and I'm sure I'll keep ordering it. Pricing is as it should be for a food court joint.

I believe I found it at Big Ray's. My two dogs were just as yummy as I expected, but I could only eat one hot dog because I had to get the fresh-cut, homemade French fries. Very homey feel with friendly service. Al fresco dining is available when the weather is nice. The staff was very friendly, and I can attest that the food is great.

Big Ray's Burgers & Dogs has been sitting on my "must-try" list since summer, so when a Friday…read moreNight Date Night rolled around--and I was craving a proper chili dog--the decision was easy. The only real question: Would Big Ray's chili dog treat me kindly? (Important considerations were made.) We arrived around 5:30pm on a chilly January Friday and quickly realized we were not alone in this brilliant decision. The dining room was already about ¾ full, which I take as an excellent sign when evaluating burger-and-dog establishments. After a quick menu scan, I locked in my order: a ¼-lb beef hot dog with chili, mustard, and onions ($4.99) plus a Diet Pepsi (because balance). Adventure Buddy went all in with the Honey Butter Chicken Club ($8.59) and an order of fried pickles ($4.99), washed down with an orange Fanta. Total damage? Under $27. Date night win already. The food came out fast and piping hot, which is exactly what you want when you're this hungry. My chili dog immediately delivered--solid flavor, generous chili, and most importantly, the hot dog was grilled, giving it that slight snap that separates the pros from the amateurs. No soggy sadness here. Adventure Buddy's chicken sandwich was also a standout. This was a legit chunk of chicken breast, not a sad, thin patty pretending to be something it's not. Crispy, juicy, and the honey butter added just the right touch of sweetness without crossing into dessert territory. The fried pickles were thick-cut, crunchy, and exactly what fried pickles should be--dangerously snackable. All around, Big Ray's absolutely delivered. Solid food, quick service, great value, and the kind of place you immediately add to your "easy yes" rotation for burgers, dogs, and sandwiches. I'll definitely be back--especially once the weather warms up and that front patio becomes fair game.
