We came here on a Saturday for lunch and we loved our experience. We ordered some burgers, pizzas, Mac and cheese and salad and we enjoyed all of them. The dill pickle pizza was a huge hit (if that's your thing) and we loved the Mac and cheese. Service was very fast and delightful, we made a lot of customizations and they got all of them correct. The diner vibes were also so fun! Would recommend! read more

I've been alive for over 30 years. I got the fudge brownie milkshake. I liked it. My one friend (special needs) wasn't wearing shoes and they still gave him ice cream. Seeing a smile on his face made my day. read more

First of all, if you know anything about me... you would know that I was born to be a 50 girl! And boy does this place fit my vibe! The inside is so adorable, and perfectly themed! It feels almost like stepping back in time! I especially enjoyed the music as it just brought the whole experience together. :) The menu had a Myriad of options! So many different burgers, apps, and honestly so many options that I can't even remember them all! I was personally very intrigued by the many different burger options and decided to go with the Burnin' love burger! And it was spectacular!! A perfectly cooked patty coated with a delicious slice of Jack cheese, fresh Jalapenos, hot sauce, salsa and (are you ready for this?) thick fried pickles! I especially enjoyed the homemade burger buns! And are you ready for the kicker.... this burger was only eight dollars! I mean if that isn't incredible, I don't know what is. And it came with a side of potato chips. Doesn't get much better than that price wise I tell ya. I also ordered a basket of French fries, and they were just about perfect! Salty and crispy and absolutely splendid. I wish I had taken some pictures, but I was so hungry and excited that I forgot! After lunch I of course had to get a milkshake! I decided to go with the chocolate cherry one. It had absolutely delectable cherry ice cream and an incredible amount of chocolate and cherry pieces all throughout! My waitress was also spectacular!! She was so sweet, attentive, and friendly! I unfortunately didn't get her name, but she did tell us that she was the owners sister. So, a big thank you to her for further elevating the experience!! I will definitely be back here again soon!! Highly recommend! read more

Went in today around 3:00pm on our way home. There were only 5 vehicles in the parking lot. The host showed us to the last booth on the right side. We sat down and waited then one at a time we went to the restroom. We waited some more and the waitress helped the people in the other booths. We waited 15-20 minutes and she never came to take our order. She had however waited on people who came in after we did. We finally left and told the host what happened. We have been there several times because we camp near by. And they were so busy we had to wait for a table. We were never treat badly before. I believe the waitress was intentionally not waiting on us. She was young, dark hair pulled up and wear dark glasses. I'd have to think tw before going again. Imagine what she'd do to your food. read more

We enjoyed this restaurant as we were just passing through. So much to choose from but delicious food! My son and I split a large cheeseburger sub (the picture only shows one half) and my hubby got the John Wayne burger. We shared onion rings. For dessert we got an Andes Mint milkshake, a strawberry cheesecake milkshake, and a peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge and peanut butter cups sundae (#1 under sundaes- picture is after I took a few bites) and they were all delicious! What a treat! Service was quick too! The booths in the sunroom area were nice and big and fit a baby car seat (we had a sleeping baby along). The seats and temperature were just right. read more

First off, the service here is always on point. Everyone is helpful, polite, and very upbeat. The restaurant is fun w/the 50s theme decor and menu. Finally, the food is really good. Subs are packed, fresh cut fries relish, and the rice bowls are a nice change of pace. read more

Very cute 50's style restaurant that is very busy. Lots and lots of choices except for what I would want, a Bleu Cheese Burger with crispy onion straws. Bleu cheese dressing is a terrible choice. All burgers are cheap and in my opinion lacking. The buns are homemade and tough to chew. The burger was supposed to be medium rare but it was over cooked. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It's literally the only place in town but it's only ok. Ice cream can be ordered in the restaurant or at the ice cream shop attached. read more

Their pizzas are nice and big. Not too greasy or too much sauce. Two can normally feed my family of six for dinner and have leftovers. Their wings are absolutely delicious. I always got the mild and would mix ranch with it. The mild wasn't too spicy, but it did leave a bit of a burn. Their fries are delicious as well. The ice creams are always delicious as well. Perfect for an after school or game snack. The only thing is the parking. I understand the location leaves little room to work with, but that's what keeps us from coming more often. Which is why I cannot give 5 stars. I am crippled and can't walk far on uneven terrain. There aren't many parking options for me. So even if I were with just my kiddos, I don't know if I'm going to be able to get a spot close enough to go in. read more

Great food, cool vibe, so many choices. The dessert options are where it's really at. I got a side of fries; I think it was like seven dollars and it was inedible, it was the salt and vinegar flavor. Their deep fried cauliflower was amazing. Ribs were ok. The only issue we had was they totally screwed up our check and there was only six of us, in two groups. read more

Great meal! Absolutely loved the milkshake, and the burgers were not only great but also cheap.

The fried apps (mac & cheese wedges and breaded mushrooms) were perfect and not greasy. Hot as heck too! I ordered the mac & cheese skillet, the baby demanded carbs, with some fried chicken cutlet. It was good flavor wise but not very hot. The breading on the chicken was a touch salty, but the chicken itself had an amazing flavor/juiciness to it! I don't blame them for the saltiness; salt is hard to see when you're busy as all get out, and they were!!! A sign of a great place. My husband ordered the roast beef, mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The meat was SUPER tender and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were real, and the gravy was the brown packet stuff. The bite I had was very re-order-able, I'd just skip the gravy and ask for the beef broth. The maple walnut milkshake was just enough, as was my husband's peanut butter milkshake. The peanut butter ice cream is homemade and perfectly peanut butter! The portions are huge and we ordered smalls too! All in all a 4.5 star experience brought to a 5 due to the staff (awesome and friendly!!!), majority of the food quality, and the options offered for meals and desserts. read more

Poor customer relations. Appeared to give preferential treatment to people of certain social status and/or race. Honestly, staff was rude and disrespectful. read more

This place was a great find in the middle of nowhere. The fried pickles were amazing with a hint of spice & ranch. The duke burger was delicious with the homemade bun. The fresh cut fries are standard to their type of style. Chocolate shake was a great treat. My family loved the house salad, cheese burger sub, fried mac n cheese & tornados ice cream. I didn't try them so I can't really comment on them, but if they are anything like what I did eat I am sure they are delicious. Give this place a try if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed. read more

Fun eatery in a small town at the end of leg 7 of the MABDR. They have a lot of different food, from pasta to specialty burgers and fries, but save room for dessert! read more

In terms of value for money, this is about as good as you can get at this large local diner. Their loaded fries are a MUST.

Great Food and Homemade Ice Cream all in a 50's style atmosphere! If you are traveling 322 between Harrisburg and State College make a stop off the Port Royal exit for fresh, filling, and affordable American classics. The restaurant recently opened in the building at the old driving range off the exit. The new owners renovated the inside to a 50 styles malt shop decor', The menu ranges from subs, sandwiches and fresh burgers (on homemade buns) to classic meals of chicken parm, fish n chips, and many others. The loaded fries are hand cut and piled high with toppings of your choice. In addition to the meals, the restaurant includes a malt shop for eat in or take out homemade ice cream in a variety of shakes, sundaes, parfaits, and mix-ins. There are daily specials, but on Wednesday is their 50's flash back day, where diners can get .75 burgers, French fries, and shakes!! This special is offered all day so go early because it gets busy around dinner time. The service was very friendly, quick, and helped contributed to the overall dining experience! read more

Harshbarger's Sub N' Malt - American Near Me - Mc Veytown, Pennsylvania

Turned away on 9-20-20 for a carryout order because it was not called in beforehand. Kind of hard to do if you are visiting the area for the weekend and don't carry a smartphone. Told it was because of COVID, but we noticed schools are in session. Fear of travelers? We had masks on. The Italian restaurant up the road took our carryout order without question, and had it ready in 10 minutes. Maryland resident read more

Not much to look at from the outside, but a cute step back in time inside. Staff was friendly and helpful and food came out in a reasonable time. My milkshake, made with their homemade ice cream, was delicious. Hamburger was good, although a bit small. I had a ton of fries which I could not finish. They seemed a bit old and rubbery, but they were hot when they arrived. Wife got fried shrimp and another guest ordered fish & chips. Both the fried fish and shrimp seemed rather dark, possibly from old oil in the fryers. Fish coating was also rather hard and seemed overdone. However, the biggest complaint from this visit was the extreme heat inside the building. It was 90+ degrees in there (confirmed by the waitress). Not sure if the air conditioning was broken, or if it was just related to the extreme heat of the past few days, but it was unbearable. May go back in the cooler moths. read more

Welcome to the definition of "Aesthetic". Harshbarger's is one hell of a trip to the classic area of diners, an atmosphere you don't see a lot in restaurants nowadays, which is a possitive thing to note to stand out from the crowd. What about the taste? Actually pretty good. I got the mozzarella strips, burger and chips, and they are were really good and cooked well. Little to no mistakes, our waiter was great, overall nice. Great job. read more

This place is awesome- we were taking a back way from Penn State and discovered this place on Yelp- we will definitely be back. The burgers come with homemade buns and the handouts fries are some of the best that I've had! I highly recommend read more

Love the curb side service. Don't want to see it go even after COVID goes away. Staff is great and very friendly.

Update: Found a winner on the menu! Garden salad with house dressing! Delicious!! Harsburgers, please create more vegetarian options!!

If you're looking for a nice 50's themed restaurant look no further. The food is awesome here from pizza to burgers but the milkshakes are to die for lol. The service is nice and so are the people, if you're looking for s change in atmosphere come here read more

This place has great food, been a customer for over 25 years...pizza is great! Friendliest people work there, great place to relax and eat

Nice little country ice cream stand, delicious shakes,etc. Great snack place in a beautiful country location. I met the owner, very nice person. He owns nearby campground too. read more

Cute little burger joint. Nice homemade rolls. We had a short wait for the table, but the waitress was super nice and pretty fast.

Decent food. Wings are not recommended, but ice cream was good and Fries were tasty

My family and I had a great meal! The chocolate milk shake was good. Great atmosphere and nice. Fresh ingredients.

Great specials all week long. Love the Wed. special with the hamburgers. Great ice cream and shakes. Inside could use a little cleaning and updating, but it is a great place to grab a burger and some great fries. Pizza is also great! read more

We used Yelp to find a place to eat dinner during our long drive home. If you have the time to sit down for lunch or dinner, it's way better to find an independent business to support than to go to a forgettable chain restaurant. The food here was great and the service was very friendly. It's kind of awkward to be a lactose intolerant person in a place that specializes in ice cream and shakes but the waitress was extremely helpful by getting me a sample of their chocolate Italian ice to try. That's what I got for dessert and I was pretty happy with it, however, I still recommend the restaurant start serving soy or coconut milk ice cream so I can have one of their decadent Sundaes! read more

Went here with the wife after voting in the primary election. Nice place. Some interesting decor. Very friendly staff. I opted for the Hot Rod burger, comes with chili and chips. It was ok. The bun was good. Can't go wrong for $4.59. The wife ordered two hotdogs which she said was ok. We ended our meal with ice cream, which was pretty good. They have quite a selection of food, including a whole menu page of just french fries. I liked the place, great service, ok food, great dessert. We will return. read more
