    Besides the fact that I can't give a one star, I will say the ONLY reason I am allowing one star is the manager that made things right after this absolutely terrible experience.. we started out with standing at the hostess area for 15 min, I knew this wasn't good. There was a bunch of yelling and fighting in the kitchen which wasn't quite clear what was going on but no one acknowledged us.. party of 5 and they tried to seat us at a 4 top so we asked for a booth.. moved to the booth then waited another 10 min for the waitress.. she took our drink order finally and we put in our food order as well.. then the wait began 15 minutes later our food shows up but no drinks.. the waitress says she wanted to get the food out but 5 minutes later our drinks show up and two drinks were forgotten.. she finally brings our drinks our food is cold and I could just tell this wasn't going to end well.. she doesn't come back, not even a check in. We are clearly finished with our food and she walks toward us only to turn and go to the bathroom. We waited another 10 minutes (no telling what was going on) she hadn't come out and I was done. Clearly everyone was more focused on closing that helping us.. the only saving grace was the manager apologizing and clearly frustrated comped our meal. I was just going to pay for meals and no ice cream but she was not happy with any of the staff and she clearly wanted nothing more to do with this location (she was a manager at Gettysburg, helping out!! They clearly lack leadership, lack organization at this friendlys.. she comped our meal but we still didn't get ice cream and left pretty sad with the whole experience.. and the waitress never came out of the bathroom! Won't be back.. we will try Gettysburg!

    The wife and I had a good experience. Our server was nice and the food was good. There wasn't much separation between seats and things looked as if it became a little overwhelming as more people filtered in. The bacon on the cheeseburger was clearly not cooked, so had to doc a star. Other than that it was good.

    This is your standard Friendly's experience. I had dinner with my husband here yesterday. I got the bacon cheeseburger with french fries, and a sprite. My husband ordered the brisket melt with waffle fries, and a root beer. The food and customer service were decent and I would return!

    The place was honestly dirty. We sat close to the kitchen and the floor was so sticky and was very dirty. Food all over the floor, dishes and trashes stacked up for all to see. The cheese bites were very hard. The server spilt ranch all over my plate. She tried to carry too much, instead of grabbing a few things and going to get the condiments. I had chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were so incredibly hard I could barely chew them, and the bbq sauce on them was disgusting. My sister said the coleslaw was so unbearable that she had to add salt and pepper, and that was not even enough. Her onion rings were so burnt and dry. When we got desert my moms m&m shake was spilt all down the side of her cup because the server carried all three of our ice creams and had my moms tipped the whole time. Our bill ended up being $93 and the food was not worth that amount. Portions were too small but overly priced. Friendlys has definitely gone downhill since I was a kid. And do not even get me started on the bathrooms. The smell was absolute atrocious , and the whole bathroom was dirty. This will be the last time we ever go!

    3.5 star. Definitely looks like a local spot for the retired- nothing wrong with that. We had the original burger- burger patty inside a grilled cheese- surprisingly wasn't bad(essentially a patty melt). The creaminess of the cheese and mayo made up for the slight dryness of the patty. I had the ultimate grilled cheese (3 different types of cheeses vs regular American) which I enjoyed it was crispy and went well with my semi cold tomato basil soup. Lastly we had the kit Kat friend-z. It was creamy and was the perfect ending to our salty meal. The service was decent and their electronic check pay system made it efficient to check out.

    After a long day of battling the snow and clearing out my grandmothers car, I was starving and so…read morewas my grandmother. We decided to take a drive in search of something tasty, and our adventure led us to Brewhouse Grill in Camp Hill, PA. From the outside, it looked like a small neighborhood bar. But once we stepped inside, the vibe completely changed. Bright lights, a welcoming atmosphere, and a lively bar area. The hostess greeted us right away, which was a relief since my hunger was hitting hard. We checked out the specials and ordered two classics: a flatbread pizza and a Philadelphia cheesesteak. As an Eagles fan, I couldn't resist testing how a Harrisburg area cheesesteak stacked up against Philly's best. And if you know me, you know I take pizza seriously think ninja turtle levels of dedication.‍ The pizza came out crisp and well-done, but the cheese was a bit skimpy, leaving me wanting more. The cheesesteak, unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark either. Luckily, a cold beer and the friendly staff helped balance out the disappointment. What impressed me most was the atmosphere. Brewhouse Grill works for just about anyone: families looking for a quiet meal, sports fans wanting to catch a game at the bar, or summer crowds enjoying the covered deck with a DJ. That summertime setup sounds like a whole different experience, and I'm eager to come back when the weather warms up. Final Verdict: The food didn't wow me, but the service and atmosphere make Brewhouse Grill worth checking out especially in the summer when the deck and DJ bring the place to life.

The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The bartenders really know their craft, and the alcohol selection, including local beers, is solid. My only real issue is brunch. Every time I've visited after 12 p.m. (brunch is served until 2 p.m.), there's been a problem--either they're no longer taking food orders, the kitchen is backed up with a 45-minute wait, or they've simply run out of food. It comes off unprofessional and could definitely be handled better. I've noticed this becoming a growing trend during brunch service in general, and while some people suggest arriving as early as 10 a.m. for the best experience, consistency matters. If you're offering brunch, you should be properly staffed and prepared to serve guests throughout the full service window. Period. It's especially frustrating when you've traveled specifically to experience their culinary offerings and hit a wall like that. Overall, if you're looking for a spot that feels like a New York-style dive bar with elevated drinks and solid food--if you catch it at the right time--this place delivers. Just plan strategically if brunch is your goal.

    The Review: Men in the Kitchen…read more My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!! It was a rainy Sunday, and I was working up a hunger while driving Uber for content. I went to three different spots before I finally found the place I should've gone to first. The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are so good that I want to find another establishment just like it, but so far--at least on this day--nothing in the area can beat it. I don't know why I treat this restaurant like a good wife that a man might constantly cheat on but always returns to. I'm not saying that I actually cheat; I'm just using that for context! So, I found myself once again at Two Men in the Kitchen. Since it was Easter Sunday, they offered a buffet or a special limited menu. There was fish and chicken wings available, and I chose the wings. Since I don't eat meat often, I asked for their "House Sauce," and it is by far amazing. I paired the wings with the 3-cheese baked mac & cheese and sweet potatoes. I went for the sides first because I wanted to save the best for last--I already knew that house sauce was going to be incredible, especially on the chicken and greens eggrolls they have. The mac & cheese was great; it had a crunchy outside yet remained soft in the middle, and the cheese pull was amazing. The sweet potatoes were definitely homemade; I could tell because every slice was a different cut, which I appreciate because it proves they didn't come out of a can. Now for the best part: the chicken wings. They were cooked perfectly--neither overdone nor underdone, with no pink on the inside. Everything was pure. I did happen to taste a little bit of Old Bay on the wings, so I asked the chef if that was part of the secret seasoning. He said no, so maybe someone slipped some in by accident, but it didn't stop me from indulging. I also ordered one of their house special drinks--a Hennessy and rum cocktail. It was a very pretty drink, but unfortunately, I am not a fan of Hennessy. Personally, I think it tastes like house keys or licking a brass knob when you're a kid. On my scale, the drink was a 2 out of 5; I just don't think rum and cognac should mix, but that's just my opinion. The atmosphere was amazing and the bathrooms were clean. I will definitely visit this place again and again, although sometimes it is hard to tell if they are open because of the heavily tinted windows. For those who know the area, this is the old firehouse in Harrisburg. I was told that on the weekends, they clear some tables to create a dance floor, which is a nice touch. There is plenty of bar seating and booths, making it a kid-friendly environment. The only thing I don't like--which applies to every restaurant on 2nd Street--is that it's very hard to find parking.

You have to do it online, via text, and it won't allow you to purchase any time less than an hour. Kinda sucks for those carrying out. Totally not the restaurant's fault though. I got the jerk quesadilla without the jerk ranch sauce. They don't serve this or their regular quesadilla with salsa or pica de gallo so it does taste a little bland. The jerk flavor isn't coming thru for me. It's a little disappointing but it's also just a quesadilla so I don't expect much. I'm not deterred though. I'd be interested in trying more on the menu. It seemed like a cozy place to sit and eat. I'd also like to eat there on my next visit. I'll update my review when I do.

The service was prompt, friendly, and kind. The suggestions about fruit for the waffle were generous and helpful. It's different to get my little one to eat anything when we go out to eat & adding additional fruit & whipped cream helped get him to try the waffle. He was not happy with the syrup. I'm not sure if maple syrup is an option. Maybe we'll ask about that next time. My eggs were perfectly cooked. The sausage links had a nice flavor & great "snap". The tater tots were crisp on the outside & soft inside. The booths have enough space between them & high enough sides to feel separation between diners and focused into your own party.

There is nothing about this place to set it apart from any of the others...except it is the closest to my house. A few drawbacks: -most of the breakfast meals came with homefries OR toast...not both. And if you wanted to get the potatoes and order a side of toast, it was grossly overpriced. -I received the wrong meal. Turns out the waitress ordered it wrong, wasn't the kitchen's fault. In her defense, she did give me a discount on our bill. -the entire restaurant just had an "unfinished" feel to it. I didn't feel like we were sitting in a dining room. It was just a bit weird to me. Would I go back? Probably...but there are a few diners I like a lot more within a very reasonable distance. It isn't going to be my top choice for sure.
