10 Useful, 2 Funny, and 8 Cool
Date
Recently got takeout here and was very pleasantly surprised. Clean, fast, diverse menu, moderately priced, and attentive staff were a few of the highlights. Will be returning to dine in soon.
If you like Thai food, this is worth a try.

Went there recently for a couple of drinks and apps on the deck. This is my new favorite deck in the area. It overlooks the Stoney Creek and has a cool waterfall that literally keeps you cool on a hot summer day. Had fresh oysters that were very good and friend had steamed clams. The beer selection is very nice.
Service was friendly, but a bit slow as we had to wait a couple of times for drinks and my (raw) food took over 30 minutes to come. Waitstaff blamed this on a group inside, not my problem though.
10 minutes from downtown Harrisburg. Easy access off 322. Can't wait to go back for a full meal outside.
A hidden gem!

I wish this place were better considering I live very close by, but it just isn't up to snuff.
After taking a couple month break after going there quite regularly, I tried them again yesterday for lunch. Unfortunately, the sandwiches just aren't that good.
Their homemade mozzarella isn't fresh a lot of the time. Quite frankly, the frozen bread that they use is not good at all.
The owners should call up Sal at Alvaro's and arrange for fresh bread to be delivered every morning to be used. Until they straighten out the cheese and bread issue, there's not much of a sandwich to eat there.
The setting is nice. The staff is friendly. I hope they make it, but I fear they won't unless the food improves.

The hoagies are great. A wonderful deli. The burgers are great too.
The only negative about this place is that they are only open for lunch during the week.
Three suggestions:
1. Call ahead
2. Call ahead
3. Call ahead
I'll call at 10 or 10:30 and order my lunch for 12:30. The benefits are two-fold. First, you don't have to wait like the rest of the poor suckers craving their great food. Second, you get two hours to pat yourself on the back for making a great decision for lunch.

Great, seriously great, outdoor seating in the back. Best in the city and surrounding area. It's truly a hidden gem.
So why two stars? My last three visits have come with horrendous service and bland, boring food.
A few years back, the service was great, and the food was better, but with each passing year, it inexplicably gets worse and worse.
I've resigned myself to visit in the afternoon for a couple of drinks when the place isn't packed so that the service is bearable and I don't have to get food.
Stop over for a drink out back, either before or after dinner at nearby Mangia Qui, Suba, or the Firehouse.

I love walking over to city island and catching a game. The team stinks, but the atmosphere is fun. $2 beers on Thursdays. It's great to see that the $46 Million improvements are finally taking shape.
Will be purchasing season tickets for the 2010 season with the completion of stadium renovations. Hopefully the team will even win a game or two as well.

I'm sure Liz M. is a nice person, but I personally disagree with everything she writes.
This place is a dump (not a dive which is cool). The crowd is terribly redneck and west shore white trash. Patrons are obnoxious.
The service is non-existent with a focus on highlighting saggy breasts rather than pooring cheap domestics for patrons.

Sushi is very good. Service is also good.
A previous reviewer wrote that she doesn't like her sushi if it's not cold. Unfortunately for her, Okini serves their sushi and sashimi at the correct temperature. Just like a good cheese needs to be brought up to room temperature to breathe, the same holds true for sushi.
I thoroughly enjoy this place and would consider giving it 5 stars if it wasn't an old Pizza Hut that pipes local crap-pop radio through the speaker system.
BYOB

Good beer selection. Decent crowd. Fun times to be had.

Leon hasn't made any lists yet.
The setting is nice, but I also prefer to sit in the bar area. As another review noted, the seats are way too far apart from each other in the regular dining area. Also, service seems to be much slower in the dining room.
At the bar, you can pop in, have a Margarita (ask for it Fresco style) and an entree and be on your way.
Not a bad place to go if you are picking up a hungry person at the train station.
If you are looking for authentic mexican that is cheap and setting isn't an issue, Tres Hermanos is a better choice in my book.
Not a bad change of pace though.
