It was about 930 on a weekday and we were struggling to find a restaurant that didn't close soon and Babes was open until 1100 unlike everyone else whom closed at 10. Babes was on our "must try" list so we shot over. We arrived and after about 3 mins, we were greeted by the GM, Ed, whom displayed a warm and welcoming aura and was just the top tier example of what customer service should be. He is an absolute gem to this establishment. They were on the late night menu, which was understandable, but he offered us that if we wanted something from the main menu he would get it made for us. We ended up just sticking to the late night menu and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and she had the boneless wings in garlic and parm. I washed it down with an old fashioned. Their was a live DJ, which for a Monday night took us by surprised but it was well received. Ed alone is enough for us to return but with great food and atmosphere I would recommend this to anyone. Definitely will be back to try the full menu! read more

Babes Grill House - Pulled pork with fries and boneless garlic and parm wings - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

We stopped in for lunch because we were in the area for a field hockey tournament and this place had good reviews. I'm really glad we found it and will definitely be back. The food was really good, the vibe of the place was great and the staff was so friendly. The real standout was some fantastic service by the bartender, Adam. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made an incredible drink. read more

We placed a call for take out. It was a large order (didn't get it all pictured) but the woman who took my order was super nice and patient. The spicy wings we ate happy to get the sauce on the side because it tasted like the bomb hot sauce (which is super spicy). But the chicken is cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious and we had no complaints. Just good classic meals. The restaurant is a house, and there was parking in the back lot. It was small but there's plenty of spaces back there. read more

My family and i are visiting from new york to bring our kids to hershey park. We arrived into pa at 9:30 so obviously the options to dine at are very limited. Upon searching yelp i found babe's grill. At this point i didn't even read the reviews. I was just looking for a place that was still open and serving. Boy am i glad i found this place. We came in with very low expectations because if i'm being honest we're from new york. And as new yorkers we are definitely spoiled because we don't need to leave our city for good food. Now when i say i had an excellent meal here, i mean it. And i don't use the term loosely. Not only was the service on point. She was quick, attentive and not overbearing. Just great. Now for the food. I don't think there was one thing we didn't enjoy. We order pierogis, smoked wings with doom sauce, meat and cheese board, a pick two entree of brisket & salmon, monkfish, and some boneless "wings" for my daughter. Along with 2 desserts to finish the meal. Meat and cheese board-delicious meats and cheeses. I would however would have wanted or waitress to tell us which cheeses were what. Also i would have preferred toast points instead of pita. But that is just my preference. The smoked sausage on that plate was delicious. I also would have preferred a regular mustard. Again just my preference. Pierogi's- were delicious. Well balanced in potato to meat ratio and well seasoned. However i personally would not call them pierogis. They are more like empanadas to me. So that threw me off when it was brought to the table. Also another preference is i would have preferred the sauce on the side. I'm not a huge fan of horseradish like that. However their horseradish sauce was mild so it was good. Wings- this was my overall favorite. And who would think wings would be the most outstanding thing? I mean it's just wings. I ordered the doom sauce which is a 10 in terms of spice level. The doom sauce itself was spicy however a little too vinegary for me. But if i'm being honest the smoke that they got on those wings were so good. It didn't even need sauce and i'm a condiment person! It reminded me of a smoked turkey leg at disney world! Highly recommend. Brisket & salmon- the brisket i would say was my least favorite item. The brisket itself was not as tender and moist as i think it should be. However I'm sure it was smoked a while before we got there. And the salmon was cooked properly. Fish & chips- i did expect a crunchier texture for the batter however it still worked. The fish itself was tasty and generally if i order fish and chips i always have to salt the fish. I asked the waitress for my fries to be truffled and they did it for an extra charge. It was worth the charge. I personally don't like skin on thick cut fries but these fries were delicious. They also give you a ton of bacon chips. But the star was their in house cherry pepper aioli. So good! The cole slaw that accompanied the fish was also delicious and creamy. And not wilted cabbage. Monkfish- the monkfish was cooked to perfection. The fish itself needed a little more salt but that's okay cause i can always add it myself. I do eat salty in general. But the star of the dish was the yukon gold mashed potatoes. So good! And i don't like skinned on potatoes. The desserts were good but nothing to rave about. Overall a great meal, great service and nice ambiance and decor. We will definitely be returning! Side note. We met the owner dave and he was very hospitable. He definitely has a good thing going. Keep up the good job! read more

Had a island breeze drink, smoked wings, spicy sausage, classic burger and the cowboy ribeye. Drink was alright. Would ask for a double the amount of rum next time. Barely felt or tasted any. Everything else was great, I personally think the wings are a bit over rated but by no means bad. Still amazingly delicious. Got it so are maple spice sauce and doom. The 2 hottest they have. The spice level between them is so drastically different. Wish they had something more in between. The steak and burger...holy crap. Been to a bunch of steakhouses and I can only think of 1 that can out steak them. Fantastic. The burger is just a classic good ass American burger. I requested mustard. Service was fantastic, people were great. Super accommodating, honest and forgiving. When I asked for wings I never specified boneless or bone in. They brought me boneless. (To be honest if you're getting wings, bone in should be the default.) but they apologized to me and got me the bone in right away. I never specified, but the server was super nice, and kept telling me it was his fault. I did not expect such amazing food from this dive bar. 10 out of 10 would go again. read more

This restaurant is a diamond in the rough! Incredible service, food is so fresh, and meat is super tender. Dave entered greeted us at the door and checked in on us during the meal. McKenzie was an incredible server throughout the whole dinner service. We had two racks of ribs, brisket, salmon, sausage, chicken wings - Jamaican, BRB, Bourbon Buffalo. We had to rounds of the chicken wings and the sausages. It was so good that we asked if they can open another location in Southern California! read more

Sometimes it's that one restaurant right off the beaten path, say 8 miles away from the tourist town, that really offers GREAT food, homey ambience plus competitive pricing. Love this place! Thank you Kristen for the on pointe service and your awesome personality. We thoroughly enjoyed that Truffle burger, the beet salad with awesome toppings and the FRESH fish and chips! All lovingly prepped and presented. Our fave while in town, always a must to stop in and say Heh. read more

The staff members are outstanding! They do not rush you. If you a question they know their stuff! Love going there.

Stopped for an early dinner after hubs got off work in Harrisburg. They open at 4:00 we arrived at 5:00. Within 20 minutes the patrons were streaming in. Some for dinner at a table. Some eating at the ample bar. Owner greeted us and chatted us up. He was very friendly. We got the pirogi appetizer. It was different. The dough was a bit crispy like pie dough on the ends and not quite like typical pirogi dough. They were very large - 2 come to an order. For dinner, I had the bone in ribeye with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts, Hubs had the salmon special with sweet potato, waffle, fries, coleslaw, and brussels sprouts. My steak was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were good. You could taste the borsin cheese in them. The brussels sprouts however were not exactly my favorite. They were sliced thin on a mandolin and were very, very lightly sautéed. I do like my brussels sprouts sautéed more. But these were a raw, , coleslaw texture. So this is more of a personal preference on my part. For Hubs salmon they asked him how he wanted it cooked. He got it medium. Well, it was quite well done on the outside and still a bit raw on the bottom for him. But he said it was tasty. The sweet potato waffle fries were good as was the coleslaw. He also was not as fond of the brussels sprouts. We got dessert to go. We opted for the cheesecake, although when I was walking out, I heard another waitress, telling her patrons about the toppings which my waitress didn't tell us about but oh well. At any rate, the cheesecake was extremely good and well worth nine dollars a slice. The slices were very large. Overall was a nice experience, I did go upstairs to use the restroom, there are other seating areas upstairs. There's also an elevator for those who cannot manage the stairs, which I thought was nice. Rather large bar with plenty of televisions for sports fans. They do play music overhead, which gets to be a bit much sometimes it makes it hard to talk, but it was OK. Offstreet parking is plentiful and allows. Very easy access to the restaurant. We definitely had a nice time and consider going again read more

Fucking. phenomenal. Every. Time. Truly farm to fork. Only local fresh ingredients. Organic. Gluten free. EXCELLENT bourbon list. And it's hard for us to eat out b/c my husband and mother in law can COOK. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Service was exceptional. Wings are terrific. Sirloin steak was juicy and tender. Will visit again

We treated our mom to dinner for Mother's Day; what an amazing experience! Food was delicious; ambience was comfortable and service was outstanding! Jake was well versed on the varied menu and he took our order (6 people) without writing anything down. He was quite personable, but really shone when the bill arrived!! Our intention to each pay our portion plus pay for mom's meal usually results in laughter and confusion; not with Jake!! He presented each of us with a tiny clipboard with our personal bill which included our portion of the gift dinner!! Easy peasy; no muss, no fuss; can't wait to go back!! Thanks Jake! read more

My friend and I found this place courtesy of Yelp and decided to give it a shot. There is a patio outside the front doors with seating available. Upon walking in the interior indeed resembles a home, with wood accents throughout and stairs leading to a second floor. We made our way to the bar, which was located to the right as you enter and was fairly packed. As we sat down we were greeted by the bartender, who was cordial and handed us menus. I ordered a rum and coke while my friend has a glass of red wine. The menu has a variety of burgers, steaks, seafood, and small bites, so making a selection wasn't an effortless task. Ultimately, I settled on the Blackened Mahi-Mahi, which was served with a mango salsa along a side of aspargus and mashed potatoes. For an appetizer we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Truffle Fries, which were zesty and flavorful. The fish was perfectly prepared with a nice char that sealed in a herb infused moist flavor! The potatoes and aspargus were both delicious as well. If you're in the area and want quality food paired with excellent service in a intimate setting, you've got to try Babe's! read more

After a full day at Hershey Park this was one of the only places open. Can't say enough good about this place... outdoor seating, friendly staff, beers/cocktails and excellent brisket sandwich. Don't hesitate, just go. Family friendly. read more

Found this awesome little spot on our way out of PA yesterday. When we pulled into the parking lot they had the smoker fired up and the beautiful smell of smoked meat filled the air. Delicious dinner at @babesgrillhouse in PA. I had the smoked brisket sandwich with cheddar cheese on a brioche bun with their hand cut fries (also try the home made chips ). Table enjoyed the smoked chicken wings with house dry rub. Other selections on the table were excellent as well and their menu has an extensive selection of delicious options. Their service put this place over the top. The waitress was friendly, accommodating and helpful. The GM came over to introduce himself and was super hospitable. The restaurant is a converted early 1900s colonial. Very welcoming atmosphere. It's like having dinner at a friends house. They even had a full play room... my 5 year old said she wants to come back again soon. This is a place I absolutely recommend if you're in the area. Buon Appetito! #vinoandeatswithantonio read more

Do yourself a favor and try this place! The food is amazing! Wonderful service and atmosphere as well. I had the sirloin with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots and it was the best meal I've had in a very long time. My blueberry mule was delicious too. I heard other patrons saying how delicious their food was also. I'd definitely recommend and return! read more

AMAZING!!!!!! With a gluten allergy himself, we were immediately put at ease! Friendly, knowledgeable, the awesome owner and servers. Jake was GREAT! I even joked because of our uncertainty (you know with options it's hard to decide!) and several different people/different allergies... and sure enough to put us at ease and get it all right, he got paper and a pen :P (I truly admire the talent to hear, remember and it all come out right, incredible!) They took care of us wonderfully, the food was DELICIOUS!!!!! (and seriously not just mediocre... normally a chicken or steak patty with little to no seasoning most other places, but understandable with allergies). The brisket was soooo tender and flavorful!! Absolutely a must if you go!! I'm not huge on smoke flavor, but the ribs were beyond tender, fall off the bone wonderful! Veggies (carrots and broccoli) did not disappoint! The gluten free kid that CAN have dairy, was RAVING over the mashed potatoes. First of all... I make them killer, and we've had caramelized onion mashed somewhere that we've tried to imitate but can't. These apparently even topped those!!! OK, so the burgers were great! GF/DF daughter who's picky really enjoyed it! Gluten free bun was good! Hubby and his cousin (no allergies) got the mushroom burger and they were fabulous!! Burgers were nice and thick in the middle, too much to eat really (especially after the mashed potatoes and our day at the park!) The places slowly filled as time went on and you could tell this quaint pub is admired by all. I even took pics of the bathroom long before all this because the restaurant, in a historic(?) house was so nice, beautifully decorated, just neat and wonderful place all around. To top it off: He sources as organically and local as possible. They smoke brisket overnight. They truly put their all into the local, family owned, friendly and special atmosphere that we can't help but go on and on. I hope we can return one day, because it's a real treat! Ask for Jake as your server, and say a special hello to David!

Babes Grill House - Patio in the afternoon - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

Staff are friendly and food is good. We had truffle French fries as an appetizer. They are hand cut, garlicky deliciousness, with cheese and bacon crumbles. They didn't need any dipping sauce but what came with it (pepper sauce) was so good I used some of it for my main meal too. I had the cheesesteak with house chips. The cheesesteak was a solid choice. The flavor of the chips are good (reminiscent of sour cream and onion) but they are a little thick for my taste. My husband tried the brisket and ribs. Both are pretty good. Brisket had an au jus they was yummy. We didn't have room for desert, and brought home a doggie bag. So really nice sized portions, good food, and drinks are good too. We sat outside in a fairly warm evening but wind was blowing and cooler than we thought it would be. read more

The smoked brisket , ribs and wings were delicious. Our family visited PA over the weekend, the owner Dave and staff were wonderful. My daughter also loved the playroom there for the kids. Definitely a great stop for food when you are in the area. read more

Where do I even begin? We were immediately greeted by the owner who was very friendly. It's nice to see an owner so involved in things. The servers and hostesses were all so friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It was also a very nice atmosphere. Even sitting by the bar it still felt very cozy and warm. Now to get to the really good part: The food. Never have I ever felt the way this meal just made me feel. We started off with the polish pierogi appetizer. It was unexpected and absolutely amazing. I ordered the center cut filet mignon with black garlic butter and sautéed onions, house salad, and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes. When I tell you the first bite of steak brought tears to my eyes, I absolutely mean it. The potatoes had an amazing texture and a wonderful flavor. Even the salad was delicious. My husband got the grilled monkfish, carrots, and coleslaw which were all amazing. I don't usually like cooked carrots but I really enjoyed them. I absolutely recommend this place for a date night. We were celebrating 3 years of marriage and we are so happy with our decision to come here. We can't wait to come again! read more

The food is very flavorful. They know how to cook calamari, it was tender NOT rubbery like the majority of others who make it. The burger was made to order, perfect. More than just wings here! The place is cosy yet has a bar in the middle. Not loud at all. Very tasty specialty drinks too. We'll be back. read more

Started our trip to Hershey by coming here after a few other considerations. Glad we did! Everything was delicious! Local sausage app, chicken bacon ranch flatbread, blackened mahi tacos, brisket sandwich and fish and chips were outstanding. My wife also raved about the sangria. Localy purchased meat and hand cut fries were a great example of the attention and care in execution. While the food was great, it is always only one part of the experience. The hospitality was second to none. Owner Dave welcomed us and was very hospitable to me and my family. He even gave us some memorabilia and thanked us for coming by. Our server Trevor was also very helpful and friendly. Thank you! It was also their 10th anniversary. Congrats Dave and team! Here's to many more! read more

We were in town visiting a few weeks ago and found Babes. The food and service were great! The owner even came out to welcome us and check in which was a nice touch. We ended up eating here both days because it was such a good experience. Try the cheesesteak. Look forward to coming back on our next trip to town! read more

Sorry to say but this place was not good. The food was mediocre. My husband is black, and I'm Spanish and definitely felt we were being treated differently. It's sad, but racism still goes on in 2023. We were seated next to where bugs were constantly coming into our drinks and food, and the table was dirty full of spiderwebs. We were so exhausted from our day at hershey, and we did not have the energy to look for another restaurant. We definitely won't be returning ever again. read more

Babes was recommended as a "must stop" while I was in the area on business. It did not disappoint. The sirloin and sides were fantastic, service spot on, the owner even shook my hand on the way out and thanked me for dining. All of this inside a beautiful historic house in Palmyra, PA. read more

Service: the server was friendly bit the whole situation was weird. The bartender seemed a bit standoffish, the owner was extremely friendly. Food: the food was pretty good. My drink from the bar however was not, it was so bad I couldn't even drink it. I tried, because I hate to waste it but it was bad. The food overall was good. read more

Love this place! Love the bar design which is so cool and beer selection is great. Kristen is amazing! I was undecided on beers so she came out with samples of the ones I was debating to make sure I would be happy with my choice. Our autistic son was with us and she was just so kind and patient with him that even he remarked how friendly she was towards him! Most people do not have that kind of patience with him. All the food was incredible. You can't go wrong with any choice. All food is seasoned and smoked fresh. I have one suggestion though - BOTTLE AND SELL THAT RANCH DRESSING! it is the most delicious ranch we have ever tried!! read more

They get 5 stars for ambiance and service. The place is in an older home and it's nicely done inside and feels intimate. The food was more 1 star. We started with spinach dip. It was just ok- not something we'd ever order again. I then had the mahi with pineapple salsa. It was dry and flavorless. I tried my fiancé's house made chips that came with his sandwich and they were also flavorless. I actually said (without sarcasm) "jesus, do I have COVID or is everything just truly tasteless?? My fiancé let me know that his meal was also bland and flavorless. I bit into a pickle just to make sure I could taste. Maybe we just didn't order their best meals or they were having an off night as most reviews are outstanding- it just wasn't our experience. Reading other lower reviews we saw others also mention the bland food. Based on that I'd suggest this business pull any items from the menu that they have not perfected and work on making their food more flavorful. This is just such a cool location and could be amazing if they put a little more work into their recipes. read more

First of all we were greeted by the owner Dave, with hugs to my friend and I because he misses his mom every day. It was an awesome way to enter a restaurant. He immediately started telling us the reason for the name of the restaurant. Babe was the name of his St Bernard he had that helped him through many hard times. As dog lovers ourselves, we loved that. Let's get to the food, service and atmosphere...we felt like we were at home, yet treated like royalty at the same time. The food...oh the food! We split the Halibut special, which was baked with a roasted walnut and blueberry cous (like a puree). Yum, Yum, Yum! The two sides we chose were sautéed Brussels Sprouts and Sautéed Zucchini and we added the Side of the Day, which was grilled corn. The food was excellent and all four of us really enjoyed our meals. Dave told us how he sources local and organic food and that was an unexpected bonus. I believe the restaurant came up as Beer food. While it was a fun place with a great atmosphere with a full beer, it was defnot bar food! It was actually casual fine dining with a fun atmosphere. Our server was Brooke and she was also awesome. We're so happy we chose this restaurant for our first ever visit to Hershey. We're here for a week and we will definitely be back! read more

I arrived with my children so we ended up sitting upstairs where we were accommodated with an extra room room they have specifically for kids to play!
