    Family history, family owned.

    Food was fresh and hot, place is clean has about 64 chairs good for a stop coming through town on bikes in a group. Worth the stop. Wife and I ate for $15. Breaded pork tenderloin, pork sandwich fries and drink and glass of water. Pictures from our last visit a year ago.

    I was just traveling through town, actually, looking for something other than the usual chain restaurants, and I chanced across Dad's Bar-B-Q. If you're tired of burgers and are the sort of person who likes to support local businesses, it's a great alternative. The pork that they serve is nice and tender and the bit of BBQ ribs that I stole from the wife were quite tasty as well! Entrees are inexpensive and come with your choice of a few of maybe a dozen sides, served in cafeteria-style trays to keep your sides separate, in case you're the type of person who doesn't want your food to touch. For me, I was liberally scooping my sides over the tray's various lips to try everything together. I was pleasantly surprised by how good my fried okra was! I didn't expect much, but it went perfectly with a little of the house-special BBQ sauce drizzled on top. I also had their mashed potatoes w/ gravy and some baked beans for a nice BBQ/picnic experience. The iced tea wasn't that hot on its own, but they have lemon juice at the table and that perked it right up. For dessert, I had the best pick out of our group with an "autumn cheesecake", a cheesecake topped with apple slices, a bit of cinnamon and some caramel. Service was fast and attentive. We bought a bottle of their branded BBQ sauce on the way out and it helped bring the evening's burgers to the next level. If I lived in the area, I could see coming back whenever the urge for ribs struck, easy.

    Always great service and delicious home cooking. The only complaint that I have is that the prices seem a little high.

    We stopped at Morello's after hiking all day, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. The bread…read moreserved with the olive oil and parmesan was amazing and a great way to start the meal. There was a good variety of options on the menu, and everything we ordered was really good. The homemade salad dressings also stood out and added a nice touch to the meal. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and a great place to relax and eat after being outdoors all day.

    Time for a nice dinner to finish a long day. Morello's is a pizza, pasta, steak joint in downtown…read moreHarrisburg. Met by a maitre'd and promptly seated. Some of the best service I've had in a long time. Complimentary bread was warm and terrific. Had a Caesar salad and it came with dressing on the side. Just a smart thing to do, and it was a freshly made sauce as far as I could tell. I sprang for the Nia's sausage and spinach tortellini, one of the specialties. Quite a nice dish. Very rich cream sauce, slightly spiced with some red pepper, I think. Made what would be an otherwise indistinguishable dish quite distinguished. Good stuff. Very comprehensive menu with some really unique items. Finished with the chocolate cake a la mode. Huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. Decent finish to a nice meal. I would give a steady four stars to Morello's, but the terrific service and excellent value make a fifth star an easy reach. I got a lot of pretty good food for a pretty reasonable price. This is a nice, local place I'd be happy to visit again.
