    This soup more resembled gravy with chicken pieces and spinach. It didn't taste bad was hard to get past the consistency.
    Nancy C.

    On our way home from Hershey, we wanted to have some lunch at a local diner. I always like to start with the positives because I know it's a local business. We were seated pretty quickly, the waitress was nice and helpful, and I thought my mini cheeseburgers were good. They tasted like they were made on the grill which is always good. Now to the stuff that wasn't as good from my husband's and my perspective. The fries weren't too bad. The soup that my husband got was a bit odd and more like a cup of gravy with chicken and spinach. It was something like the creamy chicken and spinach soup. It didn't taste too bad but was a really thick consistency which more resembled gravy. My husband did not like his open faced roast beef sandwich. It was extremely dry and didn't taste good. The brown gravy on that was also an odd consistency and didn't help enough to make the roast beef edible. He had to primarily eat the fries and bread. It's a super old school diner. Breakfast may be better.

    I've eaten here 3 times now and sure wish I could drag this whole diner, waitstaff and all, back to my little town in Missouri. Do NOT look at the dessert case when you walk in or you may ruin your delicious breakfast/lunch/dinner. Save that for after the meal. Everything I've had here is fantastic. And the good music they play in the background is another plus. I plan on eating here every day I'm in town if possible. So many things on their menu I want to try. I've been eating breakfast here, I hope I get the opportunity to do dinner. Overall I give this place 2 thumbs W

    Stopped in on a rainy Friday. Diner was very clean and we were seated immediately. Waitress was attentive and prompt with drinks and food. Food was hot and portion sizes were large. The atmosphere reminded me of your traditional diners even with the coffee cups

    Just visit here- the servers were so kind. We got our food very quickly and the serving portions were great! The food was great, I loved the selection to choose from. Restaurant is very clean and friendly. Highly recommend!

    Stopped here for a late breakfast on a Wednesday. I would estimate the diner was at about 50%. There was no wait to be seated and the server immediately stopped by to ask what I'd like to drink. The coffee was fresh, the creamers were cold, and they even had Splenda. I ordered the corned beef hash with 2 eggs. This came with some toast and potatoes on the side. The food came out quickly and was cooked right. The server frequently came by to ask if I wanted a refill on my coffee. I really appreciate this gesture over the ones who just pour away. Even though it wasn't listed on their door with all the other major brands, they accepted my American Express. Adding some pics of the menu from today.

    Second visit. First i counter sat since i was solo and the service was quick, server was very pleasant and the food was average. Not looking for great out of a diner so worked for something quick post church. 2nd visit i brought the wife for something quick. Put names in and told 10 minute wait. Stood in the cold entryway watching as folks - apparent friends of the owner came in and bypassed all of us waiting. Finally got our seats after having to go in and ask what was up. Waited another 15 for sever to take our order and another 35 for the food (we ordered an omelette and a sandwich). Meanwhile multiple tables of people who arrived after us received food, ate and left. Again the food was average. Will not be back.

    My boyfriend actually wanted to go to IHOP, but the line on a Saturday morning at 10 am was ridiculous so I told him we'd go find a great diner instead, as Harrisburg has many. So we hopped in the car and 2 miles later we were here. This was our first time here as we are both fairly new to the area. It's a very brightly lit, spacious diner. Not like some of the ones I've been too where you feel like you are crammed in next to other tables like sardines! They have booths, tables and counter seating. I'm glad we found this spot. Great food, great service and we were seated immediately. They have corned beef hash, which my guy was thrilled to see. They also have my fave--scrapple, although I didn't get any on this visit. My over-easy eggs were cooked perfectly as was the delicious country fried steak that came with an amazing sausage gravy. Coffee is very tasty as well. Prices are super reasonable and portion sizes are huge. We will definitely return! My only observation was that the gentleman, who looked like the manager(?) was not a very friendly, personable guy. He just didn't talk with patrons or greet anyone. I saw him walk over to a table that was just sat and give them silverware--reached over people, and didn't even say hello, excuse me...nothing. I just thought that was odd.

The Tuskegee Airmen mural on the side of the building told me that I was in the right place. Upon entering it reminded me of both my NYC and southern roots- from the beautiful woodwork, to the vibrant artwork, to the immaculate service from Estelle and her husband. They gave us a tour as well as a history rundown of the business and its owners. Now- on to the food. CHILEEEE!!! We started off with the spicy empanadas. They were delicious and not too spicy. They were juicy and seasoned to perfection. The sauce that comes with it is delicious! Me and my best friend had the boss lady- I had it with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese grits and lawd that is the best catfish I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned and perfectly fried. Reminded me of my nana's cooking! She had her grits with gruyere and she said it was phenomenal. Now my man had the burger and that thang was beautifully plated and he said it was delicious and cooked just as he asked! He also ordered the roasted potatoes and that boy took his time with them thangs, okay?! This meal was eaten in SILENCE (IYKYK). Lastly, we had the peanut butter chocolate cake. When I tell you I wanted to take my bra off and sit in a secluded room with that whew. I can't wait to go back with more family and friends.

The last item to come out was the fruit, which should have been the quickest out. Luckily, we were there for a girls' day and weren't in a rush, but be prepared. Food was clearly made to order and made with love! Egg on the burger was a little overcooked for what I asked for and same for the special peach cobbler french toast, but both were flavorful. The house was built around 1913 and was renovated to keep that calm elevated aesthetic. Chairs were very comfortable! There's artwork for sale to support local even more. Once a month they do a special dinner pairing with music. I'd give it 4.2 overall.

Knowing Father's Day would probably be busy, I decided to do my homework ahead of time. Before we even left the house, I used First Watch's online "Check In" feature to get our name on the list while we were driving there. The website estimated a 10 to 20 minute wait and instructed us to let the hostess know when we arrived. Perfect! Or so I thought... About 15 minutes later, we walked through the doors...into absolute chaos. The lobby was PACKED with people waiting for tables despite the fact that roughly half the dining room appeared to be sitting empty. I squeezed my way through the crowd, made it to the hostess stand, gave her my name and mentioned that I'd already checked in online. "Great," she said. "It'll be 20 to 25 minutes." Wait...what? So the online check-in that said we'd be waiting 10 to 20 minutes...didn't actually accomplish anything? If I'd known we'd still be waiting another half hour after arriving, we honestly would have chosen somewhere else that accepted reservations or true call-ahead seating. The online check-in created expectations that simply weren't met. About 20 minutes later, we were finally seated. Unfortunately, things didn't improve. We sat for another 15 minutes before our waitress stopped by to take drink orders. We decided to order all of our food immediately because we weren't confident we'd see her again anytime soon. Good decision! The coffee arrived fairly quickly. The water...tap water, not fancy water, not bottled water, not water that required any preparation other than being put into a glass bottle and carried to the table, showed up about 10 minutes later. Here's what we ordered: Million Dollar Bacon ($6.29) - four slices of hardwood-smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and syrup. This was absolutely phenomenal! If nothing else, order this (or learn to make it at home so you can avoid an excessive wait at First Watch to eat it). Sweet, smoky, just enough heat...this absolutely lived up to the hype! Power Wrap ($11.49) - egg whites, turkey, spinach, mushrooms and mozzarella in a sun-dried tomato basil tortilla with fresh fruit. The wrap itself was really good. The fruit was a mixed bag. The grapes were great, but the pineapple was still hard and noticeably underripe. At this point in the meal, I wasn't surprised and definitely wasn't going to try to get it fixed. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes ($13.29) - these were also really good. The lemon curd completely stole the show and made the pancakes. The menu advertised seasonal berries, which turned out to be strawberries. They were perfectly fine, though I probably would have expected blueberries this time of year. The Works Omelet (FREE BECAUSE THE ORDER WAS NOT CORRECT) - this was my stepdad's Father's Day breakfast. He ordered it WITHOUT onions. It arrived with EXTRA onions. By that point, our waitress had disappeared again, so rather than wait another 20 minutes for a remake, I flagged down another employee near the kitchen. I explained that we'd waited long enough already and simply wanted the omelet removed from the bill instead of remade. To their credit, they handled that professionally and removed it without any argument. While I had someone's attention, I also requested plates for the Million Dollar Bacon appetizer that had been sitting on our table for about 15 minutes and asked if my mom's meal could please be brought out since everyone else's food had already arrived quite a while earlier. Our final bill came to just over $44 after tax and tip. Even after everything that happened, I still left our waitress a 25% tip. It was Father's Day, the restaurant was clearly overwhelmed, and I try to assume people are doing the best they can with what they've got. That said...it was obvious something wasn't working. Whether they were understaffed, overwhelmed by the Father's Day crowd, or simply having an off day, the entire experience felt disorganized from beginning to end. The online check-in wasn't accurate, service was painfully slow, food came out at different times, one meal was prepared incorrectly, and our server disappeared for long stretches throughout the meal. Ironically, the food itself was actually pretty good. If I were reviewing only the Million Dollar Bacon, it would easily earn five stars. Unfortunately, restaurants are more than just food. For me, the overall experience matters just as much. There are simply too many excellent local breakfast and brunch spots to justify returning after an experience like this. I'm glad my stepdad's omelet was removed from the bill, and I appreciate that the staff made that right, but I left more frustrated than impressed. First Watch may have just had a really bad Father's Day. But based on my first experience, I don't think I'll be back to find out.

The crab cakes were greasy. The wrap was boring. The omelet was ok. By the time you add a drink it's about $15-20 a person. All of the entrees felt $2 more than the value for the quality. The sides $1 more that the value for the quality. A basic cheeseburger is over $9 and it's $3 more for lettuce, tomato, onion, and fries. So you're at $12 for a boring improperly cooked burger.

Service was slow and lots of mistakes were made. I'll chalk that up to it being newly open. There was a heavy mildew smell when we walked in. Hopefully that's dissipated.
