    Sausage biscuits and gravy, side of scrambled eggs, double cheeseburger
    Kristen W.

    So glad we finally tried this little diner after passing it multiple times! It looked busy for a Sunday around 11 am, but we were seated immediately. The menu is extensive and has something for everyone at great prices. The inside of the restaurant is your typical diner feel, which we love. Our waitress was incredible! She kept our drinks topped off and checked in on us constantly. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which came with home fries. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the home fries came out super crispy even though I didn't ask for them to be well done like I usually do (I forgot this time). I also got a couple of scrambled eggs on the side, which were also great. We also got the monster double cheeseburger, which was HUGE. We definitely weren't expecting the third bun (like a Big Mac) but it was great. The French fries were so delicious and crispy. The pickle came on a side plate, which is a bonus since one of us (me haha) hates pickles and anything they touch. Overall: amazing service, great prices, tasty food, and they were so fast. Will definitely be back.

    Just stopped in for a quick meal and coffee. Service was great and the food was really good. I only got breakfast but presentation was nice. I liked the French toast a lot. Nothing extra fancy but really clean and menu is extensive. Many options. Would def try again and return.

    I have a soft spot for Lower Allen Diner. I used to visit frequently when living in a nearby apartment. I don't get there as often anymore, but they still are amazingly fast and the food's pretty good! Like many diners, they serve breakfast 24 hours. The breakfast options are solid. It's one of the few diners in the areas to feature country fried steak (which my husband enjoys). Tonight I got garlic hot wings and he got the country fried steak. We were seated and had our drinks in no more than two minutes. The servers are awesome at checking in for refills too, which I really appreciate! The dinner was about half full when we arrived. Our food came out about 6 minutes after we ordered! We were both satisfied with our meals and very happy with the service. Lower Allen Diner isn't fancy, but it's quick, reliable and will keep your coffee cup filled to the brim!

    All this for under $20

    Coda Rouge, I commend you for a superb Valentine's Day dinner…read more I've experienced lunch at Coda Rouge a few times, but this special occasion, the five-course prix fixe aphrodisiac menu, was next-level dining. Why? The opportunity to experience the live painting artwork by Bryan "Prolifik" Hickman, artist and creator of the Tuskegee Airman mural on the side wall of Coda Rouge. The added ambiance of Singer's Lounge, Phebe West, singing lovely, familiar tunes. And last but not least, the intimacy of meeting Coda Rouge chef, Sachiko Tashiana, who trained under renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. And all hands on deck from the chef's family, who helped make the evening special. Finally, the presentation of each of the five courses and the food was superb. If you have never experienced Coda Rouge, you must add it to your short list of Harrisburg fine dining experiences.

I really enjoyed the variety of games to take to the table while you wait for your meal. I was blown away by the menu options and wish I could've tried everything! I went with the grilled chicken tacos, and the other two folks ordered huevos rancheros and a western omelette. I can only speak for the tacos but OMG. Having had my fair share of tacos, these are NEXT LEVEL. Perfectly grilled chicken with mozzarella, cilantro, onions, and lime! Who could ask for more!! The server even asked if I wanted a side of beef consommé, which I'm glad I said yes to. It was rich, savory, thick and perfectly paired even with the chicken option. I have highly recommended this spot to people since visiting and will continue to!

    Rolled into Mechanicsburg Breakfast & Pizzeria at the extremely conventional breakfast hour…read moreof...5pm on a Friday. I was the only diner in the place, which honestly made me feel like I had just rented out a private pizza studio. Bonus: plenty of free parking right out front because it's tucked into a little strip mall. Before I even ordered, the menu caught my attention--an eclectic mashup of pizza and tacos, with breakfast versions of both served all day long. It's honestly the kind of menu you'd expect to stumble upon in a dream where the universe says, "Go ahead, choose joy." I originally planned to be "responsible" and just grab a slice to test the waters, but they didn't have any slices ready and would've had to make an entire pizza just for me. That felt like a sign from the Universe to stop lying to myself. If they were firing up the oven anyway, why not go big? So I took the cosmic hint and ordered their semi-Instagram-famous Mexican Breakfast Pizza: eggs, chorizo, mozzarella, cheddar... a 10" "personal" pizza (their wording, not mine) for $14. Twist my arm. Drinks live in the cooler by the door and you just grab whatever you want and pay at the end. As I was mid-debate between soda and water, the guy behind the counter popped out from behind the curtain and said, "Hey, since you're getting a breakfast pizza, if you want juice... orange, cranberry, apple... you can have it!" Sir. Apple juice is basically the secret key to my heart. SOLD. He also mentioned they have games and coloring books available--apparently dominoes is the crowd favorite here. Unexpected and charming. A little sign on my table caught my eye: "If you love it, leave a nice review." Challenge accepted. This place was already earning every star. Placed my order at 5:02, snagged a seat by the window to watch the sunset fade and the traffic chaos whirl by. The sign on the wall said "GOOD vibes, GREAT flavors," and let me tell you: an accurate mission statement. At 5:20, my pizza emerged in all its glory--and it. was. stunning. The crust hit that sweet middle ground between thin and deep dish: sturdy, doughy, beautifully crisped on the edges, and wonderfully yeasty. The eggs-to-cheese ratio was perfection, and the chorizo? A knockout. Spicy, chunky, far more personality than the usual breakfast-pizza sausage situation. I ate 1.5 slices and boxed up the rest, which will easily feed me for another three days because, yes, I believe in leftovers as a lifestyle. As I was leaving, the man behind the counter introduced himself--Sebastian--and he had been nothing but attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a great experience. Service like that sticks with you. Total damage: $22.26 including tip. For great food, even better service, and days of leftovers? That's what I call winning. I'll definitely be back--probably at another totally normal breakfast hour.

I found it a little difficult to take in the HUGE menu and make a decision while standing in line, but that's just me. So we ordered, got a table sign and went to find a table. There weren't many available. Like, maybe 2. We sat. We watched some amazing looking food go by. The food was brought out, along with our coffee flight and other beverages. I had a 2-egg breakfast combo and upgraded to the Fruity Pebble French Toast. It was a huge amount of food, likely enough for 3 people. The French toast was beautiful dish and I couldn't finish it all. Once food is dropped off (wordlessly) there is no more "service." You refill your own coffee mug and bus your table when you're done. The food is imaginative and excellent. It's not really a service style I prefer outside of theme park vacations, but the food is good enough that I'll be back.
