The shrimp platter. 20 pieces of large shrimp!!!!!

This is the best fried seafood you can get in Harrisburg. Also the amount of food you receive for the money is a godsend in this day and age. The shrimp platter was way more food than expected, always a pleasant surprise. The only downside is the wait. I had time to get a to go order from another vendor ( another line wait, order and have them prepare my food) before my Teps order was completed. Otherwise amazing

The seafood platter is enough food for 3 people at $16.95

I love going to the Broad Street Market for lunch. Today was my first visit to Tep's, mostly because there is always a huge line. That should tell you something. In the interest of trying a few things I got the seafood platter for $16.95 which includeed a full container of the fish of your choice (I got flounder), a crabcake sandwich, six large fried shrimp, 2 sides (I got fries and greens) and a soda. When my number was called I received a full bag with 2 heavy styrofoam containers, 3 slices of white bread, cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. I would have liked some lemon. I'd have even paid extra. It's enough food for 3 people and it's quite a bargain. Crabcake- was fried, served on a burger bun. Almost entirely sweet crab meat. A little celery, a little onion. Absolutely delicious. I did encounter two tiny bits of shell. Fried shrimp- big. Not too much breading. Tasted fresh and yummy. Flounder- three large filets, seasoned well, flour/cornmeal dredged and fried crispy. Im normally not a big fan of fish fish (as opposed to shellfish) but this was perfect. I got fries as one of my sides. The sides were the only disappointing part of my meal. I also got greens. They were a little bitter to me but maybe that's how they are supposed to be? Overall, A+ for this no frills market establishment. Will visit again.

Fresh fried fish lovers, this is the place for you!!! The fish doesn't need anything on it, the flavors are mouthwatering & to die for. There is 2 sides that comes with a meal but 3 to choose from. I prefer two sides of the creamy mac and cheese. Ohhhhh yes it reminds me of my grandma, when I was a child. They also have sweet potatoes & greens...You also get a drink for $10.00 a platter which 3 people could eat from. Folks stop and enjoy this family run business, that still has that family feeling.

Unfortunately, the quality of the cheesesteaks declined over time, but I was excited when they opened a new fish location here in Harrisburg. Until recently, I really enjoyed this spot because the quality and ingredients were consistently excellent.My latest experience, however, was highly disappointing. I placed an online order and received a text notification stating it was ready for pickup. When I arrived, the food was not ready. I stood waiting for nearly 15 minutes, ringing the counter bell, but the staff ignored it. When someone finally appeared, I told them I was picking up an order. I was told it would be just a few more minutes because they were "waiting on the fries."After waiting another 7 minutes, I asked for an update. The employee immediately walked to the back counter and handed me a box that was already wrapped and sitting there. I hadn't heard anyone packaging food the entire time I stood there. When I got to my car and opened the container, the fries and the rest of the meal were completely wet and soggy from trapped condensation. It was obvious the food had been sitting out for at least 15 minutes while I was told it was still being cooked. I will not be returning to this restaurant. Hopefully, this review helps others looking for a reliable place to eat in Harrisburg. If you want more reviews, please check out my YouTube channel at @brandenleebutler

I first discovered Hookers Seafood Joint thanks to social media doing what it does best --…read moreaggressively showing me videos of garlic butter crab and shrimp fries until resistance became pointless. One look and it immediately earned a spot on my "we're going here soon whether the universe likes it or not" list. Friday Night Date Night doesn't usually send me into the city. After a long week of people-ing, I typically lean toward easier parking and fewer humans. But this Friday? I was willing to tolerate civilization just a little longer for seafood that looked that good. We rolled in around 5pm and somehow scored a street parking spot just a few doors down -- AND it was free after 5pm. At that point I assumed the night was blessed. Walking inside was...an experience. The space was pretty dark, with most of the lighting focused near the kiosk ordering stations at the back. A few empty tables, music playing overhead, and honestly -- it felt a little chilly inside for a February evening. But we didn't come for ambiance. We came for garlic butter seafood chaos, and we were committed. Ordering is done through self-service kiosks. We selected dine-in and ordered the garlic butter crab and shrimp fries ($13.99), the crab cake, shrimp, and cheesy grits ($27.49), and two Diet Pepsis ($1.25 each). Total came to about $55 with tip -- very reasonable considering what we were about to experience. While we waited, a few people came in for pickups and one very busy staff member (hoodie included) was hustling back and forth like a one-person operation keeping everything moving. A little while later, our food arrived -- already packed in to-go containers, which honestly felt like a thoughtful move because leftovers were inevitable. And then we opened the containers. And then...we fell in love. Garlic Butter Crab AND Shrimp Fries: Absolute insanity in the best possible way. Piled high with shrimp and crab -- and I mean no skimping whatsoever. Garlic butter sauce everywhere, perfectly crispy seasoned fries underneath, and rich, savory flavor that made it impossible to slow down. This is the kind of dish you think about later while staring into the void. Crab Cake, Shrimp, and Cheesy Grits: I am not a grits person...or at least I wasn't before this moment. These creamy Gouda cheesy grits have officially converted me. Smooth, savory, and ridiculously good. The crab cake was golden perfection with minimal filler, the shrimp were huge and perfectly seasoned, and the Cajun cream sauce tied everything together into what might be one of the best dishes I've had in months. Possibly longer. I'm still thinking about it. We ate until logic intervened and still left with about a third of the food for round two -- which I'm already excited about. Hookers might be easy to overlook if you're just passing by, but do yourself a favor and make it a destination. If you love seafood, this is easily one of the most underrated spots around. Big flavor, generous portions, fair pricing -- no over-the-top "trying too hard" seafood theatrics required. I showed up curious, left full, and now find myself emotionally attached to cheesy grits. That feels like a successful night.

In the middle of a pandemic and a trip to Baltimore is not an option? Harbour House Crabs is the…read morebest substitute in the area. Their prices are a bit high, but if you are really craving steamed blue crabs and the experience of spending hours picking tiny bites of crab meat out of spicy shells, this is your Go to. At various times I have been able to find Harbour House on some of the delivery sites I subscribe to, but for me, buying a 1/2 bushel of steamed crabs to make a mess in my dining room is not an impulse purchase that I suddenly choose for dinner. Call ahead and find out what the prices are, and schedule your order. I like to get them steamed in house and take them home hot. (A Styrofoam cooler works well for this. Price varies by the size of the crab, and generally I go with large male (aka Jimmy) crabs. Don't forget the mallets!

They blamed UPS and offered a replacement under the "Shipping Protection" I'd paid extra for -- but flatly refused to refund the $64.81 overnight fee, even though the overnight service I paid for was never delivered. Their position is that shipping protection covers a reshipment and nothing else. The replacement was also delayed and wasn't going to arrive until after the freshness date, so I refused it and sent it back. Two shipments, zero crabs, and a company that treats a paid-for delivery date as something they owe you nothing on when it fails. I'm disputing the charge with my card issuer. If you're ordering perishables for a specific day, know that their remedy is another shipment on their schedule, not your money back.

I think it's because there just aren't any competitors in central PA (closest H-Mart would be 1.5h away, ASSI plaza 1h away, etc). The produce selection looked ok - you could get things like thai chili peppers here, bokchoy, or more exotic things like lychee and jackfruit. There are a lot of aisles with dry goods like rice, noodles, sauces (they did carry jarred Maeseri thai sauces which is what I was looking for). They have a seafood section which had a strong smell and a "food court" with labeled fresh food items which was pretty barren - maybe 2 takeout things of dumplings on the shelf that didn't look particularly appetizing (visited on a Sunday around noon). Also, notably, the store is not in downtown Lancaster -- it's kind of remote from everything else. I don't think it would be worth making a special trip for.

Whether you're grabbing lunch, searching for a sweet treat, or just enjoying a stroll through the neighborhood, there's always something worth checking out. A few highlights from my visits: A great mix of food vendors, specialty treats, and local businesses. A strong sense of community that makes every visit feel lively and welcoming. Plenty of options whether you're looking for a full meal, a quick snack, or something to take home. Most vendors accept tap-to-pay, but it's still a good idea to bring some cash just in case. A couple of personal recommendations: Grab a smoothie on a hot summer day for a refreshing pick-me-up. Try an ice cream flight if you're having trouble deciding on just one flavor. Other amenities: Plenty of parking nearby. Public restrooms available. Indoor seating areas for enjoying your food. A courtyard that's perfect for sitting outside when the weather is nice. What I enjoy most about the Broad Street Market is that every visit can be different. You can stop in for a quick bite, spend time browsing the vendors, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and people-watch while enjoying a meal. It's one of Harrisburg's true community gathering places and a spot I recommend to both locals and visitors alike.
