Loaded potato soup and half BLT
Mandie V.

This is more a 2.5 star, but we round up. This seems to be the place senior citizens hang out. Kinda dingy. Kinda smelled weird. Could hear the kitchen staff talking (loudly.) My half BLT was barely assembled, baked potato soup was SALTY. Two of my fellow diners had the Pot Roast Melt - one had onions, the other didn't. All that said, the pies were delicious. I wouldn't return for food, but would grab some pie to go.

Magnificent seven

Best bacon and eggs I've had in a long time, and the pancakes were really good as well!

Breakfast

The Food was The nastiest I tasted in a long time. I can tell the cook didn't put his all or best into making the food. It's very unfortunate The cook re made my eggs but eggs was hard and no taste to it,very bland and dry

First Watch's seasonal Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast delivers a well-balanced mix of sweet autumn spice…read moreand hearty savory elements, making it an easy favorite for fall. The star of the plate is the giant pumpkin pancake, which spans nearly half the dish. It features a golden-brown finish, light texture, and just the right amount of cinnamon and nutmeg warmth to complement the subtle pumpkin sweetness without feeling like dessert. A scoop of whipped butter right in the center melts smoothly into the warm cake, keeping every bite tender.  On the savory side, the Jones Dairy Farm chicken apple sausage patties bring a great contrast to the sweet spice of the pancake. They are cooked with a hard sear that creates nice crispy, caramelized edges. The subtle hint of apple in the sausage works surprisingly well with maple syrup and spices, offering a lean, savory bite.  The cage-free eggs round out the meal simple and soft-scrambled, cooked with clean, fluffy curds. They serve as a reliable, neutral protein anchor that keeps the plate grounded. Overall, it is a deeply satisfying and well-portioned seasonal breakfast that executes classic fall flavors without overwhelming you with sugar.

Stopped for brunch after our Trader Joe's visit. Plenty of people waiting outside to be seated, but…read morewe were told it would only be 20 to 25 minutes. Although we were able to take a seat immediately at the hightop table which we chose to do. As we peruse the menus, we were greeted promptly with glasses and a fresh carafe of water. Waitress came by within three minutes or so to take our orders for coffee and brunch. We both appreciated the larger sized coffee mugs. I had the Ethiopian Gucci French press, which was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend had a latte which was equally delicious. I opted for the rise and shine with poached eggs, dress greens the waffle and ham. The eggs were absolutely perfect. The greens were good, except there really wasn't any citrus dressing on them, but it worked out with my meal. The Belgian waffle was light and fluffy came with butter, which was more than enough for me. My friend appreciated the hollandaise on her Benedict. She said it was very good. Overall the meal was very satisfying. We had prompt service. The food came out rather quickly. It was hot. The waitress checked on us periodically without being overbearing. We were able to pay via QR code from the receipt, which was nice. We were in and out in about an hour. Has ample parking. Easy in and out of the lot onto 11/15 . There is seating inside while you're waiting for a table and a little bit of seating in the vestibule. They make a quick turnaround of tables. I would recommend it for brunch. Definitely try to get there earlier than 10 o'clock. Overall was a pretty good dining experience.

Traveling overnight, my wife pointed us toward Sturges Speakeasy after seeing the great reviews,…read moreand she absolutely nailed it. This place was fantastic, the kind of spot you're genuinely glad you stumbled into. The atmosphere had that perfect mix of cool and comfortable. I grabbed a beer, Stacy's Mom, and I'd order it again without thinking twice. My wife went for the Self‑Loathing Burger, which lived up to the hype. My daughter ordered the Mother‑Clucker (pictured), and after she gave me a bite, I immediately regretted not getting my own. I ended up with the Pittsburgher (also pictured), and it was outstanding, one of those sandwiches you keep thinking about afterward. Between the vibe and the food, it honestly felt like a little slice of heaven. Highly recommend stopping in for dinner.

The ambience didn't seem much like a speakeasy. It was more like a regular bar/restaurant. For lunch, I requested fish tacos and sweet potato fries. As an appetizer, we shared some nachos, which had a very tasty cheese sauce on them. A while later, the food was delivered. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My fish tacos each had a large piece of fish in them. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, was flaky, and delicious. My sweet potato fries were a little overcooked, but still pretty good. Highly recommend that dish. My daughter's soup of the day (chicken & rice) missed the mark. But her club sandwich was the size of her head! If we're in Harrisburg, we'll visit again. Great meal!

I stopped in for brunch this weekend with a friend after seeing their new menu and brunch specials…read moreon social media, and I'm so glad we did! We ordered the oxtails and grits along with a pitcher of pineapple mimosas. The grits were honestly some of the creamiest I've ever had! The oxtails were tender, very meaty, seasoned perfectly, and came with a delicious gravy. Everything was flavorful without being overly seasoned. And yes -- the mimosas were STRONG! I also ordered the strawberry stuffed French toast and bacon to take home, and it did not disappoint. The French toast was really good and, thankfully, not overly sweet. The service was another highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of without being overbearing. I also really appreciated the atmosphere. The music was playing, but at a comfortable volume where you could actually enjoy it and have a conversation -- not the "why did I come here?" level of loud that some brunch spots have. The location is also a plus. It's far enough away from the busiest part of 2nd Street that parking wasn't a hassle, and they have their own parking lot, which is a definite bonus in downtown/midtown Harrisburg. Overall, this was a really enjoyable brunch experience. **Good food, strong drinks, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere.** I'll definitely be back to try more from the new menu!

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. The Scale * Location & Parking: (3/5) * Staff & Engagement: (4/5) * Food Consistency: (4.7/5)

You entered into a very barren space up front that felt completely unfinished, and then went to the rear of the restaurant in a completely separate room to be sat. In general, the food was ok...but nothing special. It's a diner. There are several of them within just a few miles. 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.

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. The floors, seats, and tables were clean & comfortable. The artwork is large & unambiguous- photographs of food. And finally, the coffee is good!
