The personalized menu with bride and grooms name at the top is just one of the ways AnnMarie made our party feel special! From the appetizers to the entrees, the dinner was exceptional AND IT WAS GLUTEN FREE!! If you haven't tried Thea's yet, what are you waiting for?

Probably the funniest experience I had while visiting Mechanicsburg…read more My waiter comes to the table, and I ask for a drink menu. He looks at me and says, "Thea is a BYOB restaurant." Before I start to process that statement, the table next to me says, "Don't worry! We have a few bottles of Napa Valley wine. Here, take a glass!" Now that is some City of Brotherly Love vibes! And Thea itself is a beautiful restaurant. Very contemporary, stylish, and modern. But honestly, the hospitality from the table next to me is what made the experience unforgettable. It's late, I have a glass of wine and it's my last night in Harrisburg. I want to have a good meal in a nice restaurant. For my dinner entree I order the Carne Asada Hanger Steak. Man.. Chef AnnMarie cooked that steak to perfection! Tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. Every bite was packed with flavor which defines Carne Asada. A grilled hanger steak prepared with traditional Mexican-style seasoning and a blend of citrus, garlic, herbs, and spices. Chef AnnMarie definitely brought her A-game to this steak! *The guac on the bottom I pushed away. Thea, I'm not sure when I'll be back but I'll come hungry and bring my own wine.

My Wife and I saw this as a breakfast spot that was highly rated and it didn't disappoint. Firstly,…read moreall of the staff were noticeably friendly and warm. Staff were also on top of things as they brought out drink refills before we needed them. My Wife got the stuffed French toast and she said it was delicious. The French toast was cooked really well and it was loaded a lot of cream cheese and fruit. When I asked my Wife if anything in particular stood out, she said it tasted like it was home made. I went with the baked oatmeal, which had coconut flakes, raisins, cinnamon, and had slices of banana and strawberries. I thought it was pretty tasty, but there are bottles of syrup on each table and drizzling some over it really hit the spot for me. This is definitely a spot that we'd go back to, especially since the is sizable. The menu offered a lot of other options, including crepes, and I feel confident that their other items would also be good.

I've been driving past Morning Fuel on the Carlisle Pike for the last few months. I'm a frequent…read moredriver out that way and every time I passed it, it always looked closed. So I wasn't sure if it was one of those businesses that kind of flopped and nothing had replaced it yet. Alas, I recently found out that it is, in fact, still open. And you know what they say: don't shop on an empty stomach. I was on my way to karns, and I concur. I decided to stop at Morning Fuel so I wouldn't make any hasty purchases while shopping. So I walk in, and the first thing I notice is the music. It's blaring early-2000s-ish rock music. Think Evanescence. Pseudo-angsty music, basically playing at the volume you'd expect in a club. The decor is like a really corny First Watch (live laugh love signage and pictures of measuring cups filled with grains) perhaps with little more edge. And there are straw wrappers and bits of food on the floor, kind of like the Texas Roadhouse peanut situation, except it's not peanuts. Shortly after I was seated, they swept the floor, so I'm assuming it wasn't intentional lol. So, yeah. First Watch on crack? Maybe? First watch's angsty step sibling? First Watch with obnoxiously loud music and a little harder of an edge. And honestly, First Watch and Morning Fuel are part of the same genre. You know what you're getting. And the genre is over priced diner. As far as the food goes, I got the stuffed French toast with blueberry drizzle, and it was really good. It did its job. Nothing spectacular, but a perfectly good breakfast. Overall, I'd say Morning Fuel is pretty average, but these places are kind of a genre unto themselves, and I can see why people like them. It was also a little cheaper than First Watch, which I like but don't really go to. This would not be a recurring haunt for me by any means, but I think it will be for some people. So if you like Evanescence and nu-metal more than you like the Jonas Brothers and other corny folky music, that's what they're playing at Morning Fuel. If you like black floors and a little less of a rustic vibe, that's what Morning Fuel is about. If you like the product that First Watch serves but don't necessarily like the First Watch vibe, you can go to Morning Fuel. Similar kind of product. Packaged differently. Maybe a little cheaper.

First time here with a good friend of mine whom I haven't seen for a while. Place is small but it…read morehas a dining area that people can dine and wait. It's actually pretty busy. Customers can either choose meals from their refrigerated display chiller or order from the counter for dine-in. You will notice that this is a popular place because they always have customers coming in almost every 5 to 10 minute. If you are a vegan, on a specific medical or health diet or just wanting to have healthy food choices, this is the place to go. Service is friendly, price point versus serving size portion is very reasonable. Restroom for the ladies is well maintained, clean and well stocked. My friend is vegan and I'm on a keto diet so there's that option of making your own bowl and choosing what you like to have in it. I wasn't able to take a picture of what we got but it was really good. Only regret I had was that I wasn't able to finish the quinoa at the bottom of my bowl because I've to eat a specific portion . But bowl was large and plenty of shredded beef meat and salmon for protein and vegetables. We will definitely be back to try their other options.

Normally, my week gets off to a rocky start--especially on the Monday after a holiday--but today, on this Taco Tuesday, I turned it into a Terrific Tuesday. I decided to get some work done on the computer and then went to get my bike fixed. Mission accomplished: it's fixed, and I even fixed it myself! After that, it was time to go feed my hunger. I normally try to wait until noon to get my grub on, so I decided to head to the Bagel Boutique, grab a coffee, and see what these bagels were all about. Of course, just like anyone with a brain would do, I did my research first to see if it was a good place. Some PennLive articles popped up with awesome reviews, so I headed out. Being a New Yorker straight out of Manhattan, I have to say: these bagels were poop. They just tasted like the Thomas' bagels you can get from any grocery store. There was nothing special about them besides the creative toppings. I would never go out of my way to get a bagel from this place again. I wish I would've just ordered them on UberEats so I didn't have to waste gas money and time driving all the way from Harrisburg to Mechanicsburg. Honestly, I think the decor was better than the food itself. They should call it the "Boooo Boutique," because that's exactly what it is. Thumbs down. One star, and that's it. -Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

Despite the size, and that it was quiet inside, pretty much every single table was dirty and needed to be wiped down. In comparison, the bathrooms were clean. The young woman at the register helping with our order was exceptionally sweet but it was hard to understand what she was trying to explain to me regarding my order and price. Despite this, the salad came out correct and was very fresh and perhaps better than other Paneras I've been to. Of note, there was another patron, walking around, who seemed to have some mental health issues and was approaching other people eating. Including myself. The staff could see this but didn't take action. With all this going on, unfortunately, this Panera's star count for me is down by one. The food is a four. The rest of the issues bring it to a 3.
