    Very slow service - Had to wait several minutes. Plus even though we ordered several large smoothies we were told edible straws cost extra.

    Nice, quick spot for lunch or dinner. Smoothie taste fresh and come in huge portion. Their smoothie is flavorful and they have some good fruits/ vegetables combination. Their food is just alright. A bit dry and plain but for the price, it's acceptable. Friendly staff.

    Loved the fresh smoothie made from real ingredients. The smoothie was the blend of the freshest fruits. Me and my friend ordered a Chia Banana smoothie, and Sunshine smoothie. The Chia smoothie comes with a banana, chia, and peanut butter, and is one of the creamiest smoothie I have ever tasted. The sunshine smoothie was very light and refreshing. Also, every Friday during this summer, they offer Sunshine smoothie free of charge if you wear flip flops to the cafe, to raise charity for cancer patients. I am personally not a smoothie fan, but the smoothie here was just perfect. The ambience is also great, and the people very courteous.

    Turkey guacamole sandwich

    My friend and I were on a road trip and ended up here. She said that she visited at the location near her office and loved it. How could I resist a smoothie place? :) They have some good lunch specials and combos. I had the turkey sandwich with avocado and sun chips. I should have got the combo. I went back in line and got the Island Green smoothie; one of their top sellers. The turkey sandwich was good; but hardly any avocado. The avocado was more like a thin spread; like how mustard is served on bread - very thin. The island green smoothie was great! No clue on all of the ingredients - check the website. But definitely fresh! I would definitely go back there if I'm in the area. I loved the smoothie.

    Good smoothie. Nice ambiance. Fast, friendly service. I thought the price point of $5.62 for a smoothie was a little high, but that's fine. It interested me that they have expanded into breakfast wraps, etc...I didn't try one though, so I can't speak to their quality.

    This is a pretty neat franchise, the inside is certainly tropical looking with a fun atmosphere. They have a good selection of wraps that includes veggie options in addition to a huge menu of smoothies. I was very impressed with the toasted wraps and the smoothies were excellent. Good spot for lunch especially if you want some healthy options.

    Paradise Point smoothie and Cali chicken Flatbread.  Yum!

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 on my way to my hotel, passing by starving and decided to give it a try. I understand it was a Sunday evening, not too busy the staff were a bit confused on what server had my table. Thankful for the young lady who took my order and care of my table. The entree that I ordered for dinner, wasn't the best in quality or taste. I ordered Captial Chicken.. the description read grilled chicken, pieces of crab meat , broccoli Swiss cheese, and hollandaise sauce, with two sides. The chicken in my opinion, wasn't grilled, extremely chewy , didn't really taste any crab and the holldaise sauce bland. My waitress I overheard say to the kitchen, something to the kitchen about adding paprika to the dish. Luckily I caught it, and declined. That wasn't even listed on the menu as added to the dish. May need a refresh on chicken preparation . This diner sadly wouldn't be my choice to return for an entree. Perhaps, maybe what diners are best for breakfast.

    For the second time ever, I visited a brewery after already knowing about its beers. (The first…read morebeing Flying Fish, R.I.P.) But this place is much more than beer, and I can't recommend it enough. First, there is a bar completely separate from the eating area, so you can choose what experience you want. Second, I've known that all their beers are top notch, which is why I wanted to come here. I'm not an IPA guy, but the black IPA is some top notch stuff that anyone can appreciate. Not super hoppy, really well balanced. Blonde stout is another superb creation, Lancaster gets some depth into it that many other breweries can't manage. Third, if you want food, they learned from the Food Network and limited their menu to just a few choices, all excellently prepared. I ordered the Angry Mac with gator meat. It had excellent flavor, they made it spicier like I asked, and unlike most places they provided plenty of meat. Great quantity and great taste that I wasn't expecting. I tasted my friend's polenta and it was perfectly balanced with some cheese, not too salty. I could eat that for days. Finally, Eva, our waitress? Wonderful. My friend and I were weighing dessert, we wanted a brownie but not the whole hot fudge brownie sundae. Eva made it work and even split it between heated and cold. What a great server. Props to Eva! To get this quality of food, this quality of beer, this quality of service, and this quality of ambiance all in one? No wonder my friend was willing to go two days in a row. I need a Lancaster Brewing in my town.

    Gilligan's is one of those places you walk into and immediately get it. TVs everywhere--even tucked…read moreinto the booths--so you never miss a play, a pool table adding just the right touch of energy, and a cozy, come-as-you-are atmosphere that feels like a true locals' spot. It's fun, relaxed, and the kind of place you can easily lose track of time in. What really stood out early on was the service. Our waitress was not only attentive, but genuinely helpful--honest, informative, and confident in her recommendations. Since there's no drink menu, she guided us toward what they do best, including the espresso martini. I appreciated the direction... but the drink itself didn't quite match the expectation. I was hoping for something silky, rich, and indulgent--almost dessert-like--but it landed closer to a pre-mixed version. Not bad, just not memorable. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, which makes it approachable without sacrificing variety. Now, the highlight--my Black n' Bleu Delmonico, cooked medium. This dish delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the bleu cheese garlic butter added a savory, melt-in-your-mouth richness that made each bite better than the last. It paired beautifully with the soft baked sweet potato--simple, comforting, and exactly what it needed to be. We started with loaded fries, and honestly... dangerously addictive. Crispy, flavorful, and the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for without realizing how much you've eaten. My husband went with the surf and turf--filet mignon and lobster tail. The lobster was a standout: buttery, tender, and cooked just right. The filet, though cooked to his liking, lacked seasoning and depth. It needed more intention--something to bring it to life beyond just butter. Overall, Gilligan's nails what matters most for a place like this--great atmosphere, strong service, and food that has real moments of excellence. It's the kind of spot you go to unwind, catch a game, and enjoy a solid meal in a lively, welcoming setting.

They tried to meet all of our needs, bring around water, get things to the table at the right time. I can appreciate that. * Minor foible: Each table's food came out unevenly. 6 out of the 8 at our table got fed first. With the next batch, they started giving food to the next table before finishing ours. So the atmosphere was nice, the service was decent, but sadly the food was underwhelming. For this price point I was hoping to get more food on my plate - my lunch was gone within 5 bites and each bite cost multiple dollars. Icing on the cake: Automatic gratuity was 20% instead of the typical 18%. Just for being able to host us and meet our needs, I will round up to 3 stars, but I recommend you drive deeper into Harrisburg for more food at a better value.
