    (Warning - unpopular and contrarian review ahead) Let me be honest, I was drawn to coming here just based on the name alone. But that aside, while the menu looks very appealing, what's the point if you can't actually deliver on it? I rumble in about an 90 minutes after opening on a Sunday. No one in the store front. Music and what sounded like some sporting event blaring from the back. I place my order and pay on the touch screen then hover around waiting for the food. Maybe three or four minutes later, a guy comes out from the back and says that they have no crab cakes that day and he doesn't know why it's still on the screen to order. If I want crab, I can do the cream of crab soup or the garlic butter crab fries just no crab cakes. Whatever. Audible on going with shrimp and grits. Maybe 10ish minutes later he comes out and with the shrimp and grits along with an on the house order of the soup and an on the house order of the crab fries. He said he would also have spotted me a dessert but they were out of all three of the choices. Soup - Not at all like the website picture. It looked and tasted like the grits with a small crab ball/cake in the middle of the cup. Oh, and it was stone cold. Fries - Decent sized portion but while the fries were lukewarm, the crab was again, stone cold. Shrimp and Grits - The grits were nuclear hot and took a while to cool down enough to try. Very good flavor and the portion was ludicrously large. I asked for the five shrimp to be steamed but he recommend fried so I went that way. Again, large portion and the shrimp were definitely seasoned aggressively. The kind of aggressive that is still in your mouth a few hours later or until you eat/drink something with a strong opposing flavor to cleanse your palate. I get it, it was only one visit and that makes for a very small sample size but either way, what happened is still what happened. Multiple menu items not available and even though I didn't pay for it, multiple menu items served cold when they're not supposed to be served hot. Not the worst stuff ever, but I'm also not going to rush back either.

    I found this place by google seafood restaurant and I'm happy I found it. The food is amazing. The atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic. A must visit place.

    Crabcake and gouda and crab grits... flipping awesome

    We stopped in on Sunday...and while quiet,people we coming in and getting take out the entire time we were there. There is a bit of an automated ordering process but don't let that throw you... this is incredible fare and you won't regret stopping in.

    The food here is always so yummy! And honestly I think it's super affordable especially for the portions you get. The ambiance is relaxing, and the service is always quick and friendly.

    Shrimp,grits,white fish

    Hot diggity dog ! I travel for work and eat so many places but when I see Harrisburg pop up in my schedule I get excited like a little school boy! Not because it's 12 degrees but because I know I am gonna get some of the best grits that ever hit my tongue ! It's doesn't stop there those huge shrimp and white fish!! Y'all are making some darn great food there and I am a repeat customer !!

    Finally!! A good seafood place downtown. The cheesy grits were soooo good, the green onion on top and seasonings were perfect. The only thing was some of the grits were clumping up, made it look like chunky mashed potatoes. The fish batter is delicate, not greasy at all! Be ready to place your order on the pad at the front counter, it took us a min to figure out where to put the credit card - this place is cashless! Unfortunately there wasn't anyone around to help but someone did come out eventually. The music was playing loud so it was hard to hear inside. The slushies were delicious, and since you pour your own you can mix flavors. Price-wise it's a little bit higher than other places downtown but you're paying for quality flavor and seafood. I definitely want to try the garlic butter seafood fries next time!

    Flounder Shrimp and cheese grits

    Well I keep going back and keep forgetting to take a picture, but not this time!! I again went with my tried and true, flounder, shrimp and cheesy grits and again, I wasn't disappointed. I have yet to dine in because the location is literary right next door to my place, but I like the fact that they don't skimp on the food portions when you have take-out. I've watched other customers receive their food while dining in and it's exactly the same amount of food I get with take-out. The food has never been disappointing and it's perfectly cooked. The price is slightly high, but what isn't these days and I don't mind paying more for good quality food that has me stuffed before I can take the last bite. Hours have been adjusted a little, but I think that's what needs to be done when you have a business downtown that pretty much shuts down when everybody leaves the Capital. Again, come out and support this black owned, very friendly business. You won't be disappointed!!

    We were on vacation and had planned a dinner out with friends to celebrate our daughter's birthday…read more We initially stopped by a hibachi steakhouse, but after being seated, we waited 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. When the waitress finally arrived, she mentioned she was the only one working and implied that the slow service would continue throughout the evening. Thankfully, my husband quickly looked up another local spot, and that's when we found Captain Krab Cajun Seafood & Boil--what a blessing! Not only did we enjoy incredible food and exceptional service, but both the server and the owner went above and beyond to make our daughter's birthday truly special. We were treated to fresh, delicious seafood, a sparkler candle dessert, a plush gift for the birthday girl, and even a light-up birthday sign! We felt like part of their family. We ordered oysters, clam chowder, boiled eggs, baby clams, and snow crab legs--everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. You can even customize your meal by choosing from four different seasonings and five levels of spiciness, which makes it ideal for families or groups with mixed tastes. One of the most fun parts? You can write on the walls, tables, and even the ceiling! They also have a claw machine for the kids (and kids at heart). We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! P.S. It's BYOB!

    Wow! My companion…read moreand I stopped in on an early Saturday evening after months of "you know, we should try that place sometime." We are glad we finally did. 1762 was formerly known as The Warwick Hotel, and that's the prominent markings you'll see from the street. It is a really excellent spot on the square in Hummelstown with cozy charm and exceptional service. My companion was initially skeptical when she saw wine on tap but immediately changed her mind when she saw the offerings--good quality and reasonable price point. The beer selection is also good. Not a huge number of beers but well-selected. Although we didn't have a full meal we did enjoy the sausage and honey appetizer, which was outrageously tasty with sausage from a local butcher in Hershey. Service was efficient and friendly, especially considering the bar (where we sat) was hopping. We also met the owner, Dave, who rolled up his sleeves to assist at the bar while also personally greeting customers. Our biggest regret is that we waited so long to finally visit...and we'll definitely be back soon.

    Great little restaurant not far from Hershey. They seem to have several separate rooms for dining,…read moreso it was not too noisy. They do have a bar area which seemed to be more lively. We started off with the mushroom flatbread, which was delicious. Hubby had the mahi-mahi special and I had a shrimp dish. I got to choose what kind of topping I wanted on my shrimp, which was really interesting. I chose the sautéed mushrooms. Yum. Plus, lots of great choices for sides. We will definitely come back when we are in the area!
