Step back in time at Harshbargers! Ice cream shop meets home cooking in this retro looking restaurant! The service was a tad bit slower then you would expect, but that is okay sometimes! Good food takes time and when everything is made to order, that is what is expected! I got the Teriyaki Steak Tips....they were tasty and cooked perfect! My wife got the chicken mashed potato bowl, think of KFC famous bowl, but homemade. Hearty and comforting for sure! We shared fresh cut fries and every meal comes with housemade bread with a side of their onion butter (at least thats what it tasted like). I could've tried about 40 different things off this menu, come hungry, because they feed you and there is dessert after. They make their own ice cream, I got a delicious Chocolate Marshmallow Shake! My wife got a soft serve twist. I want to go back to try their mini personal ice cream cakes! Check it out, right off of 322 towards state college! read more

Hubby had seen a reel and decided we should check it out. We had a 15 min wait on a Sunday afternoon. Cute place. Fun menu, the Hot honey chicken bites were super tasty. Service was good. The burgers were unique and the homemade buns, delicious. Topped the meal off with a parfait that was way bigger than expected! Would recommend read more

Found this place on our way to State College. Great food, prices and service was outstanding. Comfy 50s vibe going on. Can't wait to go back and try more. My husband had a chocolate malt shake and the James Dean burger with fries and he said it was delicious. I had the sweet tea, and the Mac and cheese burger with fries. Got the "You're the one that I want" parfait, absolute perfection! Can' read more

Harshbarger's Sub N' Malt - Ice cream menu - American Near Me - Mifflintown, Pennsylvania

See all

We recently stopped by Harshbarger's Sub 'N Malt in Mifflintown Pennsylvania. This is a favorite stop of ours in Central Pennsylvania that has some of the best soft ice cream you'll find. On this trip, we decided to stop for lunch and had burgers and salads. The salads are fine; however, the burgers were nothing special. The meat was not flavorful. While they were on homemade rolls, the rolls were small and a bit too chewy. The fresh cut fries came out undercooked and we had to send them back for replacements. Aside from the soft ice cream for dessert lunch was underwhelming. The lunch gets a 5 out of 10. read more

We were a family group of 10 coming for dinner. They had an hour with no one in the parking lot. They agreed to seat us outside and promptly brought our sodas. The food took a while to come out for 10 people. But the lady who served us was unhappy that we were a large group and in her way. I understand we were a large group who ordered dinner and then ice cream. For the value we were willing to part with for their food and willing to sit outside, I felt they could have valued our investment. We were on vacation and excited to go there. read more

I've been here for both food and ice cream and have had great experiences every time! The ice cream parlor has all your favorites that you're used to seeing at an ice cream shop. The retro theme is fun and the food is fantastic. The fresh cut fries are great and the staff is always friendly. They have a huge parking lot, so no problems parking either. read more

Harshbarger's Sub N' Malt - Peanut butter pretzel time sundae - American Near Me - Mifflintown, Pennsylvania

Food was cold on serving except the fried chicken. The steak fried covered with cheese which was cold and unmelted on cold fries. Was extremely disappointed they were out of broccoli so dubbed a side of canned mushrooms also not warmed. Just ugh. read more

Good family menu and atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Convent location with ample parking.

An establishment off of the beaten path that the locals love and it is obvious why. The food at this restaurant is top notch. Even though they did not have an iconic soda fountain they made up for it in their extensive desert experience. They had 20 everyday flavors as well as six seasonal flavors of ice cream as well as a plethora of Sundays, milk shakes and other frosty options. The service was top notch and provided numerous suggestions that positively impacted our experience. The sheer number of French fries in an order make sharing a necessity. The theme and ambiance of the restaurant draws the customer in and is built upon by the menu and overall atmosphere. It definitely screams 50's and provides a great background to build upon. read more

Great food! Service sometimes can be slow and takes a while to get your food on busy day!

Amazing restaurant, i stopped in while heading through Pennsylvania and it was INCREDIBLE! Wyatt came out to use the bathroom and we had an amazing conversation, very friendly and nice worker, and amazing restaurant. read more

Would like to give 3.5 stars but rounded up since this is a local place. Super cute interior well decorated in a bright and friendly manner; service was excellent. They have a diverse selection of desserts which on its own deserves 5 stars. However the burger buns would have been better had they been served hot and crisp; instead they were quite rubbery and detracted from the burgers. The burgers themselves were alright. A creative menu with some burgers containing onion rings and Mac and cheese. Would give only 3/5 for the burgers. Fries were so-so as well. Ultimately if you are in the area and want to support a local place, pop by, but if you can hold out (and are heading north) the restaurants are better in State College. read more

Loved the restaurant, but the ice cream is unremarkable. .......seriously I need to say. More WTH?

The food and the server was good. But the "Host" Isaiah that was working today should have a job in the kitchen, not working with customers. His attitude was terrible. I asked for a table and chairs for 4 and he was getting a booth ready when I had to remind him about the table and he rolled his eyes at the request. Then I asked if we could have a specific server because we know her and he said no even though she was serving other tables right next to us. His personality isn't made for him to work as a host and be the person that greets the customers. Thanks read more

Their homemade ice cream is amazing!!! Waitress said try the pb. It was so good and real peanut butter! I made it into a small sundae with caramel, hot fudge and nuts! It tasted just like snickers ice cream bar!! Yummm. I wish i could take some home, but we live 3 hours away?! read more

So lucky we found this place! Great food and service. We got an Italian sub and Stromboli. Both were fantastic! The restaurant was very busy on Sunday so we opted to sit outside on the patio instead of waiting to sit inside. The staff was great! Very accommodating. They have an ice cream stand outside. We didn't try any but would like to go back! Definitely try this place. Wonderful small town restaurant. read more

We have eaten both meals and ice cream at Harshbarger's many times over the last few years. (We have a seasonal campsite nearby.) The food is always great and the wait staff is very attentive to the patrons. The "50's style diner" appearance inside adds to the overall fun, excitement, and pleasure of dining at this establishment. We give it 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and a Fonzi "Aaaaaaaaa!!!" read more

This is an awesome place. Great food. Varied menu. Hidden from a busy road and I never knew it was here until recently. I will be back. I'm

Good food. Service was slow, however it was busy. Nice place to eat. I recommend at least giving it a try. I've cream is good as well.

It's a good place to eat. But sometimes the pizza dough is undercooked. NOT a good idea someday someone will get very sick

Terrific! Friendly service, clean and welcoming. Fresh salad. Perfectly cooked sirloin tips. The mashed potatoes were disappointing. The word instant comes to mind. Otherwise A+ read more

I went there for dinner with my family and I ordered the mashed potato bowl. The chicken had an odd taste to say the least but I didn't think too much of it untilI I went home and became very ill. Not sure if the chicken served with my mashed potato bowl was bad or maybe it was the lack of hairnets in the kitchen? I also didn't appreciate that I ordered an ice cream with the homemade hand dipped ice cream only to receive the soft serve ice cream in its place! read more

The service was really good. My favorite dish was the fried cauliflower. I did love the chicken parmigiana it had a great tangy taste and so much flavor it ever came on a plate with spaghetti and Mariana was delicious. read more

We found this gem when we got off at a random exit. After a quick search on yelp, we came here to try the burgers, fries, and shakes. Best place we've found! Great service and even better food. Everything was great but I can't stop raving about the shakes. Worth a stop if you're in the area, will be back soon! read more

Ordered takeout. They had out food ready when we got there but still nice and warm. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back when it gets warmer to try their ice cream selection. read more

Stopped by here on the way through the area to get a chocolate malt. I've had lunch in its sister store in McVeytown a few times and liked their hoagies and pizza. The place here was very clean and well kept. The ice cream parlor is seperate from the rest of the restaurant but connected. Very cute with a wide selection of ice cream. My malt was great! read more

Harshbarger's Sub N' Malt - Juicy! - American Near Me - Mifflintown, Pennsylvania

We just revisited this past Saturday, after about a year not visiting.. Most tables were full when we arrived at 5:49PM, were seated at 5:50PM, order taken at 6:00PM, meal arrived at 6:50PM. Bread, applesause and cole slaw was delivered after the meal at 6:55PM. What can i say? the food was ok. Fries arrived a few degrees above room temperature. I would presume they would be better if arrived hot and perhaps cooked a bit more. they had a soft texture and coupled with the temperature lost most appeal. We sat and ate in the rear of the restaurant amply lighted with sun pouring in from the many windows and a view of the attached golf range and highway. The entire restaurant smelled of old cooking grease. Each of the 10 or so tables in this back room had staining over all four sides and top inch or so of the tables. The same staining appeared on the fronts of the chairs. This staining could be scraped off with fingernail. (see uploaded photographs of crud). a simple weekly cleaning would be all thats necessary to prevent this from building up. Also, the floor appeared dirty. I understand that they were busy, but this detracts from the experience. By the time the food arrived, we ate, etc the kids were fussy and we had to forego the ice cream. It was a shame as the ice cream is apparently the draw to the place, Now I remember why we don't go there more often. read more

Stopped in here many times, this time we were heading back from penn state on our way back to Harrisburg area. This place is a must stop in if you enjoy a good 50s theme restaurant with memorabilia, a good burger, fresh bun with fresh cut fries, and a freshly made milkshake. You can't beat the staff and service. read more
