    Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, brisket, pulled pork, turkey
    Sarah D.

    Was a little nervous to try based off of some of the reviews. Got the platter with brisket (Saturday only I guess), turkey, pulled pork with Mac and cheese and beans. Total came to $36. Was really good and more than enough food for 2 adults. The top favorites were the brisket and beans. Definitely suggest going early, overhead they sold out of fries and turkey while we were eating.

    Best burger I have ever eaten I would highly recommend this to family and friends. This place isn't like any other restaurant that has drinks in the back that they have to go get for you you can pick your own drink from what they have in stock. They also have a claw machine. The interior is OK. Downside is everything is super expensive and when they are out they are out.

    Shakedown BBQ is back! Same great BBQ, different location. Delicious, smoked BBQ, sides, and sauces. Arrive early to make sure they still have what you want. The line out the door at lunch time goes pretty quickly. Grab your drink ( bottle water or soda cans) while you are waiting in line, before you place your order at the counter. The food comes out pretty quickly. This is what we tried: 1/2 lb smoked turkey breast - 3 slices of smoked heaven The Big Jim: Brisket sandwich- piled high with lean brisket meat - chose your sauce - smoked to perfection The Pig Pen: Pulled pork piled high with slaw and your choice of sauce - amazing Sides: French Fries - average at best (sorry) but frozen, coated fries are not my thing Baked Beans - great seasoning in these BBQ beans Mac n' Cheese - tasted delicious, but could have been a little more on the creamy side Cornbread - great flavor, but a little on the dryer side Cannot wait to try the smoked wings! See you next week.

    Voodoo Wings

    Hands down the best wings I've ever had. Hoagies are also very good - meat and toppings are in a perfect ratio, but the bread could be scooped out. A little less thickness on the bread would go a long way . I will ask in the future for the bread to be scooped out. The owner (I think?) came out and checked on us. Did not try the BBQ, but certainly will go back for it. Other than Jackson House, the best sandwich in Harrisburg.

    Italian Hoagie

    Excellent Italian Hoagie with a Philly seeded roll and Sharp provolone. Thinly sliced deli meats and veggies were fresh and flavor was outstanding. Service was great and the restaurant was warm and welcoming.

    Got a Renegade sandwich (Brisket, Bacon, and Jalapeños). Amazing sandwich! Definitely recommended.

    Sweet samples of love with my foxy lady!

    Please just focus on sandwiches. They are incredible. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and by far the best in Harrisburg.

    Why do they call themselves barbq? Their ads show mostly sandwiches and pizza. Terrible service. Staff rude

The Chili Momo was very hot. Regardless of heat level, the food was incredibly good. The flavor was off the charts. The Pork Kaan was so hot, it was giving me runway model lips. But it was still sooooo good. Smoky flavor, crispy/chewy texture, etc. The momo had a decent amount of filling and the dough was very thin. The samosa chaat was probably the lease impressive . . . but it was still good. The food was nicely packaged in metal to-go containers with plastic lids. It was already stacked well in a plastic bag. The price wasn't terrible. I was out of there for under $50 for 4 dishes. I only have one complaint. The guy taking my order tried to talk me out of the spicy and unique dishes. He said I wouldn't like the Kaan because Americans don't like it. When I said I wanted some dishes extra extra spicy, he tried to talk me out of it multiple times. I didn't mind the guidance, but I don't like the assumption that people like me don't like spicy food. And if I confirm I really do want it spicy, please don't keep trying to convince me otherwise. Despite having to argue for spicy food, the food itself was absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes. I was offered two small bottles of water to drink while waiting for my food to be cooked. Definitely a two thumbs up experience regarding the food.

I was at their original location many years ago and loved my experience there, so when I saw they have a second location in Harrisburg while on a weekend trip to Hershey/Harrisburg in November, I jumped at the chance to have dinner and a beer there. The Harrisburg location is not half as nice as the original location, as it's in a fairly nondescript building on the side of a major highway. But we nevertheless had a great time there. Our server was Arley who was superb. My girlfriend and I both got flights. Unlike most other breweries I've been to that serve 4 beers to a flight and might charge extra for high ABV beers, Lancaster Brewing Co. serves 6 to a flight and only charges $13. That's a great deal in my experience. My girlfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the lamb burger. Both came out quickly and were top notch. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for their beers at the liquor store.

You've got to head…read moreeither to Philly or Maryland for other options, which I only learned when my niece and nephew shared that they wanted to try hot pot for the first time. KPot is truly a gem! The atmosphere is modern with urban vibe decor. It's a cool place. And the service is excellent, from beginning to end. Our server helped us select our broth and gave us newcomers a lay of the hot pot land. You can order your hot pot add-ins by tablet on table-- and the food comes out without delay. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed at which our tablet selections were delivered to the table. Now onto the food and drink. We ordered the strawberry lemonade and regular milk teas. The strawberry lemonade was sweet but not overly so- very refreshing. And the kiddos reported that the milk teas was delicious. Now- onto the hot pot experience, which was so much fun! For broths, we tried the tomato, miso, and the spicy tom ka gha, which were all packed with flavor. Yum. KPot has a wide variety of meats and add ins for your hot pot. We tried the ribeye, brisket, beef tongue, pork, lamb, shumai, goyoza, octopus, eggplant, ramen, potato, and udon noodles. The beef tongue and the lamb were my favorites. But there was much more to try, we really only scratched the surface. I should also add that along with the all you can eat hot pot, there is also a little buffet with appetizers, desserts, and sauces. The kiddos enjoyed the freezer with ice cream options. KPot offers an all around well done hot pot experience in a cool atmosphere with fabulous service. I am certain we will be back next time I'm in the area. I'd say it is absolutely worth a visit.

While fun, that combination can be overwhelming for first-timers--some guidance would have helped. The food was tasty overall, but most of the BBQ meats were bland unless you chose the marinated options. Sauces were definitely needed. There's an appetizer bar with fried foods, fruit, rice, and a salad and sauce bar, which helped round out the meal. Drinks were mediocre. Service and communication were the biggest issues. When we arrived, I informed the hostess of our party size and that the rest of my group was in the parking lot. When asked if we were on a wait, she told us there was no wait. Despite that, we stood there for about 15 minutes with no explanation while multiple groups who arrived after us were seated first. I eventually had to remind the hostess that we were still waiting. We were then taken to the party room, which had several open and clean tables. Instead of seating us at an open and clean table, they had us wait 3 more mins to finish cleaning a table that just left for us to sit at. Our server did the bare minimum--dropping off drinks and occasionally clearing plates. For a first-time experience with both hot pot and BBQ, it would have been helpful if the server checked in, explained the process, or offered assistance. Food runners were not particularly pleasant and didn't explain what dishes they were placing on the table. There was an 18% gratuity included on the bill and our server did not deserve it. Final thoughts: KPOT delivers variety and value, but poor communication and minimal service took away from what could have been a much better experience--especially for a large group. I might return with a smaller group, but with low expectations.
