Pho Billiards is an interesting concept: Vietnamese food & a pool hall. Let me start by saying the vietnamese dishes were OK, they basically start at 8 dollars. For an appetizer we had 6 deep fried spring rolls for 6 dollars. And the spicy Hue soup (and french bread) for 8.25 Service was alright, didnt have any problems, but as the previous review said, it helps if you speak Vietnamese. They have pool at 8 bucks an hour, as well as a mega touch game, some adult magazines and a few cheap arcade type games. Interesting enough, snacks and beverages are in a machine and cost 1 buck apiece. Closed monday

Drove past this gem a few times over the years. We visited here last week for lunch. It was pretty packed, about every table was full. This is a breakfast and lunch only place. The menu features standard american food, such as waffles, eggs, sandwiches as well as a few Grecian favorites like Gyros. Ended up with the Poor Boy (8.50) which is a sub roll with meat, lettuce and tomato & sauce. Our party also tried the 1/2 chicken over a waffle. Off street parking, paid cash.
PA Bakery is a great experience - they serve a great selection of all kinds of treats - my fav. of which is their chocolate chip covered cannoli (2.70 apiece). So delicious! I've visited on a few occasions in the past just to get treats, most recent visit was this past christmas. Basically it was packed, they had some long lines at at least 5 employees working the counters. Their prices are reasonable for what you get, not the best, not the worst. Some items are priced per pound. And they have a really cool selection of cakes made to order. Check out the sticky buns & spaghetti bread.
Cupboard Maker Books is a small non-descript building in Enola. If you've ever been on Rt 15 you've driven past it. Great selection of gently used books. Wide range of topics-- children's, photography, mystery, adventure, sci-fi, etc. Most of the books I looked at ran from 3 - 7 bucks and were in good or great shape. If I remember correctly, you get a 10% discount if you are a student.
Amazing cat-walk too if you stop in, they have a siamese and two other cats :-)

I had a nice experience with "Framed!" picture and framing gallery. My mother in law had brought back a nice canvas painting from Indonesia. She was forced to remove it from the canvas and roll it up to bring it in her luggage. I started searching around for a quality framer, and had checked Michael's and a few other shops. In the end Small Business Saturday won out and I decided to go with a local in-town Framer. My service was alright, there was about a week and a half turn around time, and the cost to have my painting Gallery Wrapped was 62.00. Store hours and by appointment. You should give them a look, they accept visa, mastercard and cash, and have parking out front.
I really enjoyed my visit last week to Masala Bistro. Stopped by for the buffet on a saturday afternoon (8.95 adults - 4.95 children). I've been to Aangan and the Indian stand in the Broad Street Market before, so I want a total virgin. The Goat dish was good, as well as the bean & yellow rice dish (Briyani). Their dessert bar is great, rice pudding, pineapple, canteloupe, watermelon and mango in sauce. Will be back.
Looking to save a buck? Try Stroehmann's Bakery Outlet on Derry street, theyve got a good selection of pies, cakes, danish, bread, muffins and buns to choose from. Entenmann's danishes are 2.00 each, bagels 2.00 each, rolls are usually .89 and theyve got great deals on other products too: donuts, muffins, pumpkin pies, english muffins, etc. The outlet accepts cash, credit and EBT. PS: if you have a sweet tooth, avoid this place!
Shatzers is a local fruit stand that sells a wide variety of apples and fruits. We stocked up on apple butter & apple cider during our last visit. Awesome Lincoln Highway way-markers outside too: A Giant old-fashioned delivery truck & a cool gas pump.
El Serrano is a small Peruvian / Mexican restaurant on Market Street in East York. Be sure to try the "mixto limeno" which is pan seared tilapia w/ crabmeat on top Around 15.00. Prices area reasonable, and the food is very satisfying. Service was OK, it was a little chilly inside the restaurant.
Decent new Korean joint in Chambersburg, open for the past 3 months. There are a few small tables and an exposed kitchen area, wit ha hot case that contains the food. I was excited because when I placed my order they cooked fresh items for me. Prices are reasonable for what you get. If you stop in for lunch they have a special $ 6.99 for two main items and 1 side. I tried the korean pancake (pajeon) and the bulgogi, turned out to be pretty tasty, not too spicy. Kimchi is great too. Will be back.
