Very fun spot with great food and service. I order the steak that came out on a really cool heated rock. It was medium rare, and I could slice pieces and cook them to my liking with the rock. It was a really cool concept. I also threw my veggies on the rock to grill those with the steak. I was really happy with my foods flavor and heat. Even when I had to run to the restroom, I took my steak off the rock and I was able to reheat my food by putting it back on the rock for a bit. The only thing you need to be prepared for is that on a hot day this will add to the heat, but still worth it. And the fries that I had were also really good. I went on a Tuesday night and in addition to the steak enjoyed a pitcher of beer and played trivia with a group of 5. The host was really good and had relevant questions for all age groups - from How I Met Your Mother, to The Sound of Music and in between with sports, cars and whatever else. My team won so we got to picked from a few different options including tokens for next visit which was great since we were already full. The owner was there and even swung by our table and chit chatted with us for a bit. He actually knew some of the people at my table, and pulled up a chair for a while. We sat outside under a tent which was neat. There are occasional trains that run by creating lots of noise, but definitely not a big inconvenience. The inside was under renovations which I peaked behind the curtain and it looked really nice. It'll be cool to visit once those are complete! read more

Food menu rarely changes. Fish and Chips are really good and the best sweet potato fries in the area. One note - they open at 11:30 am. The Google search needs updated. read more

It had been 5 years since our last visit here being we are in Lancaster county. Wanting something different we ventured to the west shore. I decided to try a hot rock filet. What a great conversation piece and concept. You can't lose cooking it as you are the chef. We sat inside as their was a band outside and didn't want to compete with them to converse. Our booth was comfortable, the service was great. Oh yeah, and my steak and my wife's crab cakes were excellent. read more

Recently came here. Was totally surprised on how good the food was. The wings were the best I've had in a long time, my salad was good, and my steak was cooked to perfection. The other members of my party also enjoyed their entrees. There was a DJ playing music which was nice; and our server Grace was truly a gem. I will definitely make this a place I will come back too. read more

What a GREAT experience there today! Food was on point! I had the best waitress ever today! (Thanks Nichole) she was so awesome and gave me the best tips on what to order. Perfect highly recommend and hope you get a GREAT waitress like me as well as the food being so so good. Definitely a must go to! read more

Just visited this place, the only thing that I say was good would be the scallop. Other than that, the food is so bad. I ordered the fish and chips. Fries was super salty and fish was very overcook that it was hard to cut and chew. And the New York Strip was even worse, it was tasteless like it was from the freezer. The whole steak has so much watery taste to it. So disappointed in the food. Service was good. But will not be back here again. read more

We came here because of an online note, that daily Happy Hour is from 4-6 pm and poutine. No Happy Hour, but the poutine was fine. Place looked clean with all t.v. screens tuned to Fox, which is telling a lot. Service was slow and the place was not exactly hopping, but we were not in a rush. read more

Crab cakes were SO good.... all crab and broiled... the best. My husband's ahi tuna was cooked perfectly to order. We both loved our mashed potatoes. Our friends met us here as we were visiting from NC and two of them had the Hot Rock and "next time" I'd try that as it looked fun, interactive and delicious. They order it every time. We visited on a Friday night and it was hopping!!! Great waitress was quite patient with our order decisions!!! read more

This place is probably the worst place I've eaten in a long time, by far the worst experience; both service and food wise. Do yourself a favor and don't order any of the steaks, definitely overpriced for the poor quality and taste. Feel sorry for the staff working there, owner doesn't know how to run a restaurant business. read more

We have never had a bad experience here. The summer months on the deck are awesome. Sitting inside is nice too. They recently renovated the bar and it's homey and cozy. The food never disappoints. My husband loves the hot rock. I always try something new. Best chili, great French onion soup. The beet salad is amazing and the Philly is really good too. We love coming here to day drink or even just a lunch date. Great bar for football and great food. Also, it's a marine corp bar and we love that as my husband is an active duty marine. Yasssss read more

So we hadn't been here for two years, which generated my prior review. If you read it, you'll know why we haven't been back. We decided to come back Saturday because we had a coupon for a "COMPLIMENTARY entree, valued up to $12." I got a burger and my husband got a sandwich. We asked the bartender if we could use our coupon, she took my phone and went to ask a manager. She came back saying they would accept the coupon no problem. Wonderful. Which led to tonight. The coupon can be used twice, we went back and we ordered the same thing. We went to use the coupon when the check came, and were told that since we didn't order entrees, we couldn't use the coupon. Furthermore, the manager on Saturday night that approved the coupon was apparently wrong and shouldn't have taken the coupon. Nice. Now, I challenge you to find anything other than overpriced baked spaghetti at $11 that would be "complementary." You can't, because any "entree" on the menu is at least $15. So, they've lost my business over a $10 burger. Spend it well, because I will never be back. One star only because I have to. read more

I've never been able to get excited about their food. The descriptions on the menu (in conjunction with the steep prices) make me think that I'm going to get something absolutely wonderful and perhaps sublime. Unfortunately, nothing ever seems to quite meet my expectations. I think it's mostly about the price for what you get at dinner. If the prices were a little lower I would also lower my expectations a bit and probably be happier. Some of their prices are competitive - sandwiches and some of the salads. Their lunch prices are much more in line for what you get. It always seems crowded, which is a good thing because the place is obviously popular, but it can make for an annoying evening if the service isn't up to snuff. We've had various levels of service. Usually it's pretty good, one night it was horrible. She acted like she was so much better than us and tossed around a haughty attitude the entire time we were there. I'm so sorry if we were disturbing her other activities that evening . . . . I'd like to go back and see the outdoor deck everyone says is so wonderful. P.S. They have Cincinnati Chili on their lunch menu. Run like hell and wait until you can get the real stuff. You NEVER serve Cincinnati chili with sour cream. It is sacreligious. Beans? Yes. Cheese? Yes. Onions? Yes. Hot sauce? Yes. Sour Cream? NEVER. read more

The last time I was here, was about 8 years ago. Loved it there then. So when my boyfriend moved up from Florida, I wanted to take him there because I knew he would enjoy sitting on the deck and an added perk is we only live a few blocks away. The first time we arrived, we entered through the bar part and waited to be seated. We wanted to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. Their were only a couple people sitting inside. We were seated right away, lucky for us because the deck was packed for a Sunday night. We were were given menus right away, food & drink. My boyfriend wanted a certain Mango beer that was on the beer menu, but the server said they were out of that, so he got a Stella instead. I ordered a strawberry margarita with sugar around the rim. I've had better as all I could taste was the tequila and it tasted like it was watered down and hardly any sugar, but you'll have this! We ended up sharing the Spinach-Artichoke dip which comes with these pita chips that are amazing. The dip was phenomenal, and when my boyfriend says that, he has been a chef in food industry for over 25 + years, that's a compliment. I could honestly just come and eat that has my meal. Our server kept coming back and checking on us and making sure we were ok and didn't need anything. Super nice, and great service. The ambience there is very chill which I love. A mixture of generation of people getting. Everyone talking, laughing, smiling and having a great time!! That's what life is all about!! We loved it here so much we came last night. Got the same server again and she remembered us. I got the tuna melt with sweet potato fries which was absolutely delicious and my boyfriend got the Harley burger with sweet potato fries. He said his was really great as well. So it looks like we found a new place to come and frequent on our date nights. I would definitely recommend them!!! You won't be disappointed read more

Flinchy's - Spinach-Spinach And Artichoke Dip with Pita chips Strawberry Margarita Stella beer - New American Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

Flinchy's ticked me off right off the bat. I went to lunch there because I had a gift certificate from Restaurant.com for $25. When I looked at their menu online, I noticed they were kind of pricey so I thought, with this economy, lunch was a better option and we would be more likely to get out with a check around $35. I told the waitress that I wanted to use a gift cert for my party of three and she asked if I had the $25 gift cert or the $10 one. She said that the $25 gift cert is only to be used on the dinner menu, so if I wanted to use it, I'd have to spring for one of their $25 entrees. Um, no thanks. So I ordered a cup of Manhattan clam chowder and it seemed to take forever for her to bring it out to me. How hard is it, honey, to ladle some soup into a cup. I know you're not making it from scratch per order! My soup was scalding hot and incredibly salty. My dining companions also had soup-- french onion served in a *tiny* crock for $5 and beef stroganoff, which I have never seen as a soup before. For lunch, I had a special, an open faced prime rib sandwich that came with a side of frozen french fries that were underdone. Really, some of the bigger ones were still cold in the middle. The portion of meat was good. I can't complain about that at all. I can complain that it was a gristly, fatty, unpleasant bit of meat. My friends had a buffalo chicken wrap, which was reportedly "good" and spinach/artichoke dip which looked okay but the portion was really small. That's the food... let's talk about the service. Some guy in the restaurant (a waiter? a bus boy?) recognized one of my friends as someone that he went to high school with. He proceeded to stand over our table talking to her for half an hour, thus keeping me from talking to my friend and excluding two people at the table. It was incredibly rude. If I were a manager there, I would have chewed him out. Our waitress was really slow bringing drinks, taking orders, bringing food, refilling soda. She kept letting people out a side door that was marked "not an exit." it wouldn't be a problem to me normally, but the day were were there it was 5 degrees outside and every time the door was opened a blast of arctic air smacked into me. it was oh so pleasant while I was eating. Lastly, there are far too many tables in too small a space. There wasn't enough room to walk between tables, around all of the elderly people lingering over their lunch. In summary: crappy service, rude staff, overpriced food, climate control issues. I won't go back. read more

The crab cakes are so good. They have no fillers and are totally gluten free. They blue cheese chips are also so delicious. They do have plenty of options of "bar" food. The menu also has lots of delicious and healthy options. I love Flinchy's. The service is fantastic. The food is amazing. I would highly recommend it. read more

Went here for the first time on a rainy Saturday afternoon in December....the last day the deck was open for the season. Audrey, the bar maid is as absolutely outstanding! We will definitely return! read more

Flinchys is a popular established restaurant, slash bar, slash patio. It was packed. The food did not lack flavor and the happy hour specials were fantastic! My only con was the bad seating given to us and the sunset was hitting our faces the whole evening. There were other seating options. I enjoyed the $3.50 capt' n coke, my husband the summer shandy. The steamed butter garlic clams at about $4.00 were a great value and came with garlic bread which was toasted and tasted fresh. I ordered the oyster po' boy and my husband the Chesapeake burger. Chesapeake: amazing burger. Amazing. The angus beef was juicy and flavorful and the crab cake on top gave it a surf n turf twist. I would certainly come back to eat one myself! The onion rings tasted like they were homemade. 10 out of 10! Po Boy: great flavor but not a true po' boy. Having lived in the south for so long, I have had my share of them. The baguette should have been sliced like a hogie. The back half of the baguette had no oysters. I felt I got mostly bread. Had the sandwhich been crafted differently, it would have been so much more enjoyable. The idea was there, and with minor tweaks it can be a great spin on a po boy. I will return again. The food was great. The service was a bit slow, but they were packed. My seat was pretty bad. Anyone could see we were squinting. The server could have checked up on us little more. I understand that being busy and lack of seats was not under anyone's control at that moment. Also, there is an unpleasant smell in the entrance foyer prior to entering the restaurant, don't let that turn you away from a decent dinner! read more

Stopped in as just driving by and seeing they had outside seating. It was a warm, sunny spring day. The waitress was great. Always amazed when a wait staff person remembers all the details of an order, not having to write it down. She got everything correct, including the changes in food orders (w/out this or that items). Food was good, warm, filling. My wrap delicious, friends burger a little dry (though they ordered it well done), other friends salad good. Great "comfort/bar" food. Got a table fast, was waited on quickly and got our food within 10 to 15 minutes. All staff wore masks too, but one near bar didn't have his covering his nose. Grrrr. Also, the only tables that were available were in the sun, so that was a little bit of a problem (but not major as it was starting to set and a cloud or tow rolled in). Kudos to all the hard working staff. Great job folks!!!! read more

I have been three times, the service is always good and food has been good. I love the artichoke dip and the burgers.

Excellent appetizers! Sweet potato fries and homemade mashed potatoes were delicious! Service was wonderful. Ali was a excellent server! The place is NOISY!! Dj had the music turned up obscenely loud. Horrible atmosphere!! Couldn't have a conversation & had a headache half way through my meal. read more

What a terrible disappointment. We have LOVED this restaurant for years. We tried to come a week ago but they were unexpectedly closed due to staffing shortage. That's ok, all the restaurants are struggling with employees. I get it. Tonight, they were out of Mules (no ginger beer), out of sweet potatoes, out of hot rocks (what they're notorious for). They don't have Poutine Fries, though it's on their menu. Their special was tilapia with mango salsa. I ordered that with baked potato. It arrived, sans baked potato (fries as a substitute), no salsa. The tilapia was terrible, saltiest I've ever had. They never bothered to tell us they couldn't provide what was ordered until it came without the salsa. The waitress said they'd comp it. I didn't even eat half, it was terrible. She took it from the table. They brought a check for the full total. We pointed it out and their response idea of comp was $5 off a$20 entree. We paid the check, but we'll NEVER come back with our friends again. There's always 6+ of us. Our friends were charged an extra $3 per entree because the hot rocks were unavailable, though they did adjust the bill after we pointed out it wasn't out fault the hot rocks weren't available and the meals were cooked in the back instead of on the rock. I can't express how much we have LOVED this restaurant. It is with sadness I say we won't be back. In fairness, the waitress was pleasant and apologetic. read more

We frequent Flinchy's often and primarily for the food. Delicious, good portions served prompt and hot. Soups are even very good. The bartenders are also so super friendly, they make us feel at home. On the flip side, we experience longer wait to be served because certain times and days Flinchy's is overwhelmingly busy, Out of most bar and grill establishments in the area, Flinchy's stand out! read more

What a treat it is to find crab cakes without fillers!!! I absolutely love the hot rock concept; I even put my vegetables on it to keep them warm while I eat my seafood skewers. Their sweet potato fries do NOT disappoint, and I know I can count on fresh seasonal veggies as a side any day!! Very friendly staff and lots of parking behind the old township building. All my out of town friends love the variety in the menu too read more

We got take out. The burgers were super dry and there were approximately 6 old fries per plate. I actually laughed when I opened the nachos. They gave the chili in a separate cup and I commend them for that but....where's the cheese? We found, I kid you not, four pieces of shredded cheese stuck on the chips. Not at all what I expected for $12.00. Bummer. Really wanted to find a good take out restaurant. Oh well. Moving on... read more

Flinchy's - New American Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

Have been coming here for several years for lunch. They used to serve great potato skins, now they are off the menu. They used to profide free refills on ice tea but no longer. The Pittsburgh steak salad used to have delicious beef serloin. Now its just chewy hunks of medicre meat. Prices are up quality down. Oh and the owner complained on the local news channels he couldn't get help during the pandemic because of the stimulus money. Women just wanted to sit at home. Reality was daycares closed and home schooling was going on and people didn't want to get sick. In any case I guess he's going to get his money back somehow. Not mine anymore. read more

This place has gone downhill faster than the Olympic downhill skiers. You never know when the place is going to be open or closed, the restaurant manager seems very annoyed being there past 8PM ( maybe try a new profession). The owner doesn't care and is never there and the entire place from Food to service to cleanliness and everything else is a pale shadow of what it used to be. read more

I had lunch there with a friend today, We waited an hour for two cheese steaks while people who came in after us were getting their food. I was very disappointed and will never go again. read more

This is an interesting establishment. On one side is a restaurant and on the other side is a bar, with a door separating the two. The portions of the lasagna and fettuccini were enormous! The former was pretty bland, while the later was pretty tasty. The lasagna was the size of a loaf pan, but it tasted like they just opened a can of crushed tomatoes for the sauce and that it had been assembled to order and then popped under the broiler to melt the cheese on top. The fettuccini was delicious and my friend and I shared it. We went. The bar afterwards for a drink and found good prices on beer and some interesting people watching. I'd go back to the bar. Not sure about the restaurant. read more

Great food. Try the blackened salmon with sticky rice...or a crabcake and filet......to die for

Got here and was hardly shown to our table.. sat here for a good 20+ minutes before even given water. I have no idea who my server even is. The food when it did come out were cold. I got here at 5:45 it's 638 and I'm still waiting for my food. Meanwhile I see party's and others getting served and actually being treated like customers. I asked for my food to be made for Togo 25 minute ago and just now did they bring it to me at 6:40. $83 for 2 sandwiches a pasta and one appetizer. Not impressed... don't come here unless you obviously look like you have money or are bringing a party. Overall not worth a single penny and was a complete waste of time. read more

Ate here last night for the first time. My friend suggested it because she likes the crabcakes. I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The crabcake entree has 2 crabcakes, but my friend wanted only 1, and our server was great about accommodating her. She had a side salad and the vegetables of the day, which were fresh and steamed. This suited my friend, who is watching her diet. I ordered the chopped salad and was pleased. It was a nice portion, was made with dark greens (not iceberg lettuce), everything in the salad was fresh, and the house vinaigrette was on the side. My Troeg's Perpetual IPA was delicious, and my friend liked her martini. We had attentive service. My one complaint was that the football game was pretty loud. As I looked around the dining room, it seemed that most people weren't even watching it. read more

Flinchys is overall go-to restaurant-bar around camp hill/mechanicsburg. Dawson and Matt take a personal interest in the success of this business, and the food, bands, drinks, atmosphere is everything you could ask for. If it's your first time, or thousandth, you will be treated well and with great food and drink. The hot rocks are a novelty, but they give them a fun alternate. Sometimes we love and want them, and have the patience... most times, we get our food prepared for us! Sides are good, steak, shrimp, scallops are always good. The "Great" - the Harley burger, chili, volcanic hot rocks, and lastly but most importantly the crab cakes are amazing. Also a gem for catering. They are great business people and will customize a menu to fit any need. Cannot endorse this place enough... read more

Found a hair in our food. Really gross. Server said that they were sorry. That's it. Never going back.

We were ready for disaster. Apprehensive about a "deck bar" atmosphere and the other reviews, we were really pleasantly suprised. Service: Poor girl had her work cut out for her with a birthday party of 25 in the dining room. She kept orders straight, kept peoples drinks full/refilled, and was very attentive. She never even Flinched. rofl @ bad puns. Food: everyone seemed pleased. Hot rocks were hot, crab legs were good, portabella stuffed with crab and cheese was good also. Price? Dear People, if you expect bar/deck/hangout spot prices, don't expect quality. Don't complain that the prices here are too high, because you're paying for decent quality food. read more

If you like decks, beer and bar food -- go to Flinchy's. If not, don't make the mistake I made by going for dinner with my mom last week. I suppose I should have known that any place that has a "Train Wreck Deck" would not be a culinary adventure worth writing home about, but hey, it can't be THAT bad. That is my mistake. Let's just get the bad out of the way first: 1. The service -- it was standard and friendly. BUT... when my mom asked how a chicken dish was, the server said -- "well, we haven't had anyone complain about it." The record might have just come to a screeching halt when she said that. What? That's how you sell your food to guests? Then, as I tried to ask her a question, she impatiently said to wait, she wasn't done asking my mom about sides. By that time, I didn't even care, I just ordered my food and that was that. 2. The food. Whoa. You're gonna charge me $20 bucks for THAT piece of chicken? With a tasteless side of penne with red sauce? Thanks but no thanks. I could have gone down the street to the Pizza Grille for a $12 chicken dish with WAY more flavor and 100x healthier. My mistake. Again, should have opted for bar food, especially when a menu is THAT expansive. I come from the school of thought of: "do a few things well... not do a bunch of mediocre dishes". My mom felt the same. 3. The bill.... $70 dollars for a subpar dinner felt like a slap in the face. Again, next time do not order wine, order a burger and a beer and I'm sure it'll be fine. The good --- well. I bet that deck is fun in the summer. And our server was pleasant, attentive and despite the lackluster selling points for menu items, she got it done. At any rate, follow my guidelines and I'm sure you're enjoy your experience. Anything else -- you're better off going up the road to the Pizza Grill for something fresh and delicious! read more
