We stopped here at the request of my oldest and had a great time. Parents this place is an EXPERIENCE. My six year old was enthralled watching them make the donuts and put the toppings on. We got a glazed (for the baby), The Beach Ball (6 year old), Peanut Butter in Paradise (hubby) and maple bacon (myself). The Maple Bacon was perfect. All the donuts were warm and fresh and the maple bacon flavor was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. I'm not a huge sweets person so I really appreciated this option. They also have a few breakfast sandwiches and coffees which we'll have to try next time Things to be aware of: *if you are trying to turn left into duck donuts it's impossible due to traffic on the pike in the weekends. We went down to the light and turned left there and then turned around at members 1st so we could turn in right *parking is so so. We saw people parking next door at the flooring shop and walking over

I'm not from the area, just passing thru. So when I see the Duck Donuts sign? Place your bets that I'll be getting coffee and a freshly made doughnut. Walking in, this has to be the cleanest doughnut place I've ever seen. I talk to the counterperson and said I've been watching Buddy vs Duff and I'd like to order the challenge old fashioned doughnut. She said, what's that? It was like a mic drop, its the bake off Cake Boss vs Duff! She laughs and shows me a book of doughnuts. Any place that has a doughnut book? You know your into something good. I'm giving a coffee cup and by the time I stirred my drink, my boxed doughnut was waiting for me. When you take a bite of a hot, freshly made Duck Donut? Its like the heavens opened. Trust me, you aren't getting this OOBE (Out of the box experience) from Starbucks where their doughnuts are in a cold case and not fresh. Duck Donuts, from Long Island to Pennsylvania, they're making a great product. This particular location was very clean and I enjoyed my purchase.

Went for the first time this morning and had an awesome time! The staff was super sweet and the cashier gave me great suggestions. I got a cinnamon one and the blueberry pancake. They were fantastic! So yummy and warm and not too overly sweet. The coffee was good too. My only recommendation would be to possibly drizzle the toppings over something else other than the box the donuts are served in because there was icing on the bottom and sides of the box that was messy to car out and put in my car. No fault to the employees, I feel like that would be hard not to do with the current set up. Will definitely be back while I am in the area for work!

Great atmosphere and great food!! I was very pleased with the Fast service I received. Will be back again!

We arrived at the end of the Ice Cream Social. We love Urban Churn and I was excited that Duck Donuts is entering a partnership with them. Sadly, I missed the taste testing and naming event, but had a sundae today. I had strawberry ice cream over a warm cake donut with key lime frosting and graham cracker bits. It was so good. The portion was a good size and although we arrived barely before close we were not rushed. I hadn't realized they were about to close. Excellent team at this location. Although cake donuts tend to be too dense for my tastes in general; these are best warm and the options allow for a lot of customization. I have been here a few times, but as long as Urban Churn offers the ice cream, I'll return frequently.

This was my first time eating Duck Donuts and they did not disappoint! We ordered mostly Fall specials and waited until we got home to devour them. They have a slight, fried crispiness on the outside, fluffiness on the inside with the yummy toppings on top. It is honestly the best donuts I've had in awhile. The donuts are made to order, so it elevates your foodie experience when you can taste the freshness. The prices are reasonable, too!

If you've never enjoyed a treat from Duck Donuts add it to your list immediately. These donuts are not only delicious, but there is a huge variety to satisfy all cravings! The Mechanicsburg location recently reopened and we knew we needed a donut making kit for our sons. We ordered 8, and let me tell you this was a huge hit that's brought a lot of delicious joy! Safety: You can not dine in, the staff is wearing gloves and masks, and they have barriers between the employees and guests. I felt incredibly safe, and felt confident in the companies ability to protect their employees.

If you want fresh soft donuts made to order this is the place to go! The prices are a little higher than I like but it's worth it. This is a treat for me and my husband every once in a while. They have specialty coffee drinks and milkshakes too. The breakfast sandwich was delicious! The latte I ordered wasn't made to my specifications but they were quick to fix it. We ordered the breakfast box which has been delicious so far. I am a fan of anything maple bacon; heat them up in the microwave and it's even better.

Rolled into Mechanicsburg Breakfast & Pizzeria at the extremely conventional breakfast hour…read moreof...5pm on a Friday. I was the only diner in the place, which honestly made me feel like I had just rented out a private pizza studio. Bonus: plenty of free parking right out front because it's tucked into a little strip mall. Before I even ordered, the menu caught my attention--an eclectic mashup of pizza and tacos, with breakfast versions of both served all day long. It's honestly the kind of menu you'd expect to stumble upon in a dream where the universe says, "Go ahead, choose joy." I originally planned to be "responsible" and just grab a slice to test the waters, but they didn't have any slices ready and would've had to make an entire pizza just for me. That felt like a sign from the Universe to stop lying to myself. If they were firing up the oven anyway, why not go big? So I took the cosmic hint and ordered their semi-Instagram-famous Mexican Breakfast Pizza: eggs, chorizo, mozzarella, cheddar... a 10" "personal" pizza (their wording, not mine) for $14. Twist my arm. Drinks live in the cooler by the door and you just grab whatever you want and pay at the end. As I was mid-debate between soda and water, the guy behind the counter popped out from behind the curtain and said, "Hey, since you're getting a breakfast pizza, if you want juice... orange, cranberry, apple... you can have it!" Sir. Apple juice is basically the secret key to my heart. SOLD. He also mentioned they have games and coloring books available--apparently dominoes is the crowd favorite here. Unexpected and charming. A little sign on my table caught my eye: "If you love it, leave a nice review." Challenge accepted. This place was already earning every star. Placed my order at 5:02, snagged a seat by the window to watch the sunset fade and the traffic chaos whirl by. The sign on the wall said "GOOD vibes, GREAT flavors," and let me tell you: an accurate mission statement. At 5:20, my pizza emerged in all its glory--and it. was. stunning. The crust hit that sweet middle ground between thin and deep dish: sturdy, doughy, beautifully crisped on the edges, and wonderfully yeasty. The eggs-to-cheese ratio was perfection, and the chorizo? A knockout. Spicy, chunky, far more personality than the usual breakfast-pizza sausage situation. I ate 1.5 slices and boxed up the rest, which will easily feed me for another three days because, yes, I believe in leftovers as a lifestyle. As I was leaving, the man behind the counter introduced himself--Sebastian--and he had been nothing but attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a great experience. Service like that sticks with you. Total damage: $22.26 including tip. For great food, even better service, and days of leftovers? That's what I call winning. I'll definitely be back--probably at another totally normal breakfast hour.

My first time here today and these people are some of the nicest restaurant owners I've ever met…read more Barely open a week, I really wish much success for this restaurant. Order at the counter and your food is brought out promptly. The owner made sure everything was good and kept asking if I needed anything. Making customers feel important is, well, important, so I'm glad they aim to please. Pizza slice was really good, could've been a bit more well done, but that's my preference. The birria quesadilla and (thick) consommé were out of this world excellent. Can't wait to come back and have that again and try some other dishes. All day breakfast is cool and a nice option to have in this area. Try this place and see for yourself.

Hmmm...yeah. Thats about it. This is a very unusually set up restaurant. The inside just gave off…read moreweird vibes. Our booth wasn't even attached to the floor. You entered into a very barren space up front that felt completely unfinished, and then went to the rear of the restaurant in a completely separate room to be sat. In general, the food was ok...but nothing special. It's a diner. There are several of them within just a few miles. There is nothing about this place to set it apart from any of the others...except it is the closest to my house. A few drawbacks: -most of the breakfast meals came with homefries OR toast...not both. And if you wanted to get the potatoes and order a side of toast, it was grossly overpriced. -I received the wrong meal. Turns out the waitress ordered it wrong, wasn't the kitchen's fault. In her defense, she did give me a discount on our bill. -the entire restaurant just had an "unfinished" feel to it. I didn't feel like we were sitting in a dining room. It was just a bit weird to me. Would I go back? Probably...but there are a few diners I like a lot more within a very reasonable distance. It isn't going to be my top choice for sure.

We tried Simpson Diner on Saturday and we were all pleasantly surprised. I had eggs, wheat toast,…read moresausage links, and tater tots with a cup of coffee, spouse had Eggs Benedict with coffee, little one had a waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The service was prompt, friendly, and kind. The suggestions about fruit for the waffle were generous and helpful. It's different to get my little one to eat anything when we go out to eat & adding additional fruit & whipped cream helped get him to try the waffle. He was not happy with the syrup. I'm not sure if maple syrup is an option. Maybe we'll ask about that next time. My eggs were perfectly cooked. The sausage links had a nice flavor & great "snap". The tater tots were crisp on the outside & soft inside. The booths have enough space between them & high enough sides to feel separation between diners and focused into your own party. The floors, seats, and tables were clean & comfortable. The artwork is large & unambiguous- photographs of food. And finally, the coffee is good!

We were checked on frequently as we perused the menu, which was appreciated. Once we put in our order, we had a bit of a wait for the food to come out, even though it wasn't super busy inside, which was fine. We received the food on piping hot plates, and everything looked great. I had shrimp tacos and was surprised they weren't served in the traditional taco holder, as I'd seen in photos from reviews. They were served flat on the hot plate. All the ingredients and sauces on the tacos made the corn tortilla shell soggy, to the point where I couldn't pick up any of my three tacos at all and had to eat them with a fork and knife. Each taco had 2 grilled shrimp, which were delicious, but they really need to be plated differently or served as a double tortilla shell so you can actually eat them. It came with a side of black beans/pico, which I was SO excited about, but my side dish of beans was mostly juice and maybe only 3 forkfuls of actual beans. You're only given a fork and a knife in your silverware, so I couldn't even try to make the best of it. I would've asked for a spoon, but our server didn't check on us for refills or anything once the food was dropped off. I will say - my husband got the steak and egg bowl and it was DELICIOUS. The steak was so tender and juicy and perfectly cooked, as were the potatoes. I do think it was a smaller portion for the price, but we both loved his dish. I'd definitely come back for that. He finished eating before me because I was struggling to eat tacos with a fork, but we still waited a while after we finished to get a small box and our check. Overall, we'd maybe come back, but it seems hit-or-miss based on what you order and who your server is. One drink and two entrees were $50, so we'd likely choose another spot before stopping here again.

I've passed Watershed Pub a million times and never stopped, so when I met a friend for lunch, it…read morefinally felt like the right time to check it out. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence (read: stalked the menu for a full week) and had a game plan. At the top of my list? The deviled eggs and the Kale Caesar salad with salmon. The only problem...I absolutely did not need $40 worth of food for lunch. So I quietly spent the week putting "deviled egg energy" out into the Universe, hoping my lunch partner would suggest splitting them. Manifestation is real, people. I arrived around 12pm and found plenty of parking out back in Watershed's designated lot, which is clearly labeled--a good thing, because parking in that area looks like it could get competitive if you're not paying attention. We had made a 12:15pm reservation (Monday lunch felt safe, but why risk it?), and our table on the enclosed patio was ready when we arrived. It was the perfect setup--sunny and bright, but still warm enough to be comfortable on a chilly day. The vibe was great, and our server was even better--friendly, attentive, and consistently checking in without being overbearing. Then it was time to order. I let my lunch partner go first and waited... "Do you want to try the deviled eggs as an appetizer?" Are you kidding me?!. YES. Yes, I did! We ordered the deviled eggs ($11) to share, and I followed through with my Kale Caesar salad ($15) topped with seared salmon (+$13), officially completing my week-long menu-stalking mission. The deviled eggs came out FAST, and in my excitement, I completely forgot to take a picture--which tells you everything you need to know. Each egg was topped with a cube of candied bacon that absolutely stole the show. Sweet, savory, and just the right texture to complement the creamy filling. We made quick work of all four--excellent start to the meal! Not long after, our lunches arrived, and my salad? Gorgeous. Like, actually exciting to look at. I dug in immediately and it delivered. The mix of shaved brussels sprouts, kale, and romaine gave it great texture, the dressing was well-balanced, and the red onion didn't overpower the rest of the flavors. But my favorite part? The garlic parmesan crouton crumble. No chasing rogue croutons around the plate--just perfectly distributed crunch in every bite. Genius! The portion size was generous, too--I made it through about half before calling it and boxing the rest for dinner later. By the time we were wrapping up, the enclosed patio had filled up significantly, which tells me this is a popular lunch spot--and for good reason. The food is solid, the atmosphere is great, and the service was spot on. That said...$40 for deviled eggs, a salad and water is a bit steep for an everyday lunch. For me, this feels more like a "treat yourself," client meeting, or special occasion kind of place rather than a regular rotation spot. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I be casually popping in every week? Probably not. But those deviled eggs? Totally worth manifesting!

Atmosphere and seating around the exterior is on point. Really nailed the interior and fixing. They…read moredid a great job with heaters outside and retracting canopy blinds to make the outdoor space work in large swaths of the year. The main challenge: the food on two orders was a real miss. The review for the Greek salad was that it was one of the worst tasting Greek salads my brother has ever had, despite the attempt at some flare with phyllo on top. My second salad was equally uninspired. We didn't bother with anything else admittedly so perhaps their salad game is just very very weak, or a bad day in the kitchen. Hard to say; but wouldn't be bothering with their food again compared to hunting around.

I've heard great things about Dad's Garage, so I decided to check it out on a solo Friday night…read morewhen I was seriously craving a good burger. I was hoping all the hype was true and maybe I'd even find a new spot to add to my breakfast places to try list -- but, spoiler alert, I won't be doing that. Pulled in around 5pm and found parking (miracle, since there are only about 4 or 5 spots). Inside, I was greeted right away and told to seat myself. The specials board out front caught my eye, so I went with the bacon cheeseburger croissant, upgraded my fries to chili cheese fries, and grabbed a Diet Pepsi. I was the only dine-in customer, but there was a steady flow of pickup orders. Still, a 20-minute wait for my food felt long considering it was just me sitting there listening to FM radio straight out of an 80's prom (hello, Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings"...literally). When my food finally arrived, the staff immediately realized they'd forgotten the chili cheese on the fries and whisked them back to fix it -- good save! The chili itself? Fantastic. Like, "I-need-this-on-a-hot-dog" fantastic. The fries, though...yikes. Grease was literally pooling and dripping through the basket like a leaky oil pan. The burger was fine -- solid flavor, but the proportions were off. Giant tomato and onion slices took over the show, and the croissant was way too big for the small patty. Loved the croissant idea, just needs a smaller bun or a bigger burger. Ended up eating the patty and ditching the salad-sized toppings and half the croissant. The check was the real surprise: $12.99 for the burger, $2.49 for the Diet Pepsi, and another $2.99 for the chili cheese fry upgrade -- plus a mysterious "conveenience Fee (2.99%)" for $0.55. Maybe time to run spell check before charging extra, Dad. All in all with tip, $20+ for a burger that didn't quite live up to the hype. It hit the spot for a burger craving, but not enough to make me a regular. Glad I gave it a try -- it's got potential and a great location (even if parking is a tight squeeze). But honestly, it might be time for Dad to roll up his sleeves, give the menu a tune-up, and maybe double-check that receipt printer while he's at it. Bottom line: Cool concept, great chili, and 80s prom tunes -- but for $20+, I expected a little more horsepower under the hood.
