Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Samuel Quay Great food at a great price. Everything came out quickly and servers were attentive. A beautiful, classic diner aesthetic inside and out.

Cristian Lucero Talk about a cool place! This farm to table dining experience is one you’ll want to bring friends and family to. With artist quarters and galleries to check out while you wait, and even an entire craft brewery selection to choose from at the bar you’ll want to keep coming back. The menu items are all so enticing it was difficult for me to choose what I wanted to eat; I would’ve ordered the entire menu if I had the time. Had the wood fired pesto pizza and everything about it was great from the bread, to the sauce, cheese and pesto! I strongly recommend the French press coffee if you want a good cup, and if you want a cocktail, you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. The drinks are beautiful and taste incredible. Will definitely be coming back! Just don’t forget to make a reservation as this establishment is really popular during the holiday season.

Brittany Emanuel We just moved to the area and now have had this place twice. You will NEVER have to ask me where I want to eat. I will eat here every chance I get. Everything was amazing from the food, service and atmosphere. The best thing of all is the caring and love for the ones who serve our country. Past, present and future!!

D Perry We had a business lunch meeting here. Great food, great service. Has a full bar. We will return, highly recommended. Plenty of parking, depending on time of day reservations are recommended. Wheel chair accessible.

Emma Rogers WOW! You will not find a better Mexican place. Everything is so affordable. The quality and quantity were so reasonable. The salsa and chips were so delicious! The pico so flavorful! The tortilla soup I ordered a small and thought I’d get a cup but I got a large cup almost a bowl! It was so delicious! It had a lot of tortillas and I think tofu? Or cheese but it took the flavor of the broth so you couldn’t really taste it. My husband got the chorizo burrito and he thought it was very good! His horchata was so big! And he enjoyed it. Had a lot of cinnamon and ice. He said 10/10. I ordered the tampiqueña and omg sooo good. The steak was so flavorful and tender. I never eat rice and I ate all my rice. I also usually don’t eat refried beans but the flavor was amazing. I wasn’t a fan of the enchilada as it was a bit too spicy for my liking but it was very cheesy! The guac was also amazing! The tres leches was VERY moist and lots of Milk at the bottom! It wasn’t very sweet but a nice palate cleanser. I loved how they had a supermarket in the back! Super cool! Those prices were also amazing. Our server was also great! He had humor by saying they may run out of rice and beans but never tres leches. Haah. Highly recommend. If we’re back in the area will come back! Usually a dinner for 2 in NJ is like 80. We spent around 55.

LeAnn Seibert The menu is varied and daily specials are offered. Our server was great and the food arrived quickly and as described in the menu. Serving portions were well sized. We had the fish ( two large pieces) and a pasta dish with chicken and seafood - a strange combination but it was good. The atmospere is open and clean with adequate spacing between tables. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely go back

Lissa Lou Great food and service. I have to say I was impressed at how accommodating they were with our puppy we brought in. It’s very difficult when traveling with pets and finding some place to eat. It’s much easier in the summer when places have outdoor seating but when it’s winter it’s nearly impossible. I called Ted’s this morning asking and explained the situation and they were more than happy to take us and put us in their indoor patio and then the heaters on for us. We had the room to ourselves which was really nice. Our server was friendly and accommodating as well. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring the little fur puppy in with us. He was so good and happy to be able to come eat with us. We will definitely be back because of great the food and service was.

Mike Ricker We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Gabriella’s! The food was truly amazing from start to finish. Our server, Olena, was fantastic—warm, attentive, and made the entire evening even better. The lollipop lamb chops were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the lobster ravioli was rich, creamy, and delicious. We also tried the veal scallopini, which was tender and perfectly prepared. Every dish was a standout. Highly recommend Gabriella’s for a great meal and outstanding service! We’ll definitely be back.

Peter Hitlin Our family went to this restaurant after a day at a local attraction. The hostess offered a high top for our party of 8 but we had concerns about one of the children. She had no problems putting tables together to accommodate us. Our server Nicole was a treasure. She spoke to us about our visit and was quite knowledgeable about the area. Nicole took our drink order and came back to take our food order. As I sat there I noticed a happy hour special that was about to expire in less than 3 minutes. I tactfully chased Nicole down and asked if I could get my happy hour order. She took my order and was very composed even after I told her to run. You see, Ive missed out on happy hour orders by mere seconds in in the past. Our food was served by a mass of very friendly staff. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Nicole was super attentive and great with the kids. Well, great with everyone. We were all super impressed with the entire visit.

Sean Nies #eatbetterthanyouatdisney Perfectly cooked steaks, rich flavors, and an inviting atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly—well worth the visit. Don’t forget to try the chips!! Wow! Pictured: Balsamic Marinated Hanger Steak - grilled, sliced, red wine demi-glace, smoked tomato & spinach bleu cheese orzo

Austin T The Ensalada Adobo Con Papas is definitely unique! I loved the different dressings, and would recommend both the avocado and chipotle. Service was friendly! Unfortunately, the chips and salsa are not complimentary.

jonathonhinkle89 Tried this place out for the first time. Was immediately greeted by very friendly staff. Cameron was our server. What a great guy. Kept the drinks full, and was very consistent in his service. Funny and carry’s himself well. 10/10 service from Cameron. We also met Tim who spoke highly of the food and made great recommendations. Both gentlemen were a pleasure and the Melting Pot is lucky to have them. The food was enjoyable. I went in thinking I would not enjoy this style of dining and was very surprised. Garlic Steak is the way to go! Although the food was great, we’re returning because of the service these two gentlemen provided. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Chris Ray Great food and drinks with the service and ambiance to match! We didn’t know what to expect going into this, but we were blown away by the whole experience. The food was fresh and was properly prepared. The drinks were all well prepared; down to the details of glassware selection and garnishes. All of the staff we interacted with were professional and friendly. The cherry on top was the atmosphere to match. The only critique I have is that it would be nice to see a larger selection of the “small plates” section on the menu. I should also point out that this restaurant has limited indoor seating and it may be a good idea to get a reservation.

Miss Val We came here on a Thursday evening in July with friends from out of town for dinner. We made a reservation online ahead of time. The place seemed pretty busy when we arrived but the hostess took us to our table which was in a room that was around the corner and it was not as crowded. Our server, Maddi was right with us to take our drink orders and gave us water. We ordered a couple appetizers which were very good. Our meals were excellent. We shared dessert between the four of us and that also was very good. Maddi was very personable and attentive and she had an overall joyful energy. She really handled changes of mind and questions from the group very well. The atmosphere was easygoing. This was a great place for our casual group dinner and I could see it being a nice place for a fancy date as well. Prices were what we expected and comparable to other places we have been. Parking was easy. We had enjoyable time.
