I was on my way to my hotel, passing by starving and decided to give it a try. I understand it was a Sunday evening, not too busy the staff were a bit confused on what server had my table. Thankful for the young lady who took my order and care of my table. The entree that I ordered for dinner, wasn't the best in quality or taste. I ordered Captial Chicken.. the description read grilled chicken, pieces of crab meat , broccoli Swiss cheese, and hollandaise sauce, with two sides. The chicken in my opinion, wasn't grilled, extremely chewy , didn't really taste any crab and the holldaise sauce bland. My waitress I overheard say to the kitchen, something to the kitchen about adding paprika to the dish. Luckily I caught it, and declined. That wasn't even listed on the menu as added to the dish. May need a refresh on chicken preparation . This diner sadly wouldn't be my choice to return for an entree. Perhaps, maybe what diners are best for breakfast.

Most diners do breakfast all day and this one was no exception. The steak and eggs were delicious and so was dessert. They didn't have a banana split on the menu but our waitress said she would make one for us. Amazing service. Looked like a diner as well. Counter seating was available too. Awesome diner vibe here. Definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

This is what it looked like when I pulled the bread apart. Cold, dry and bread was half empty. Daughter: wings and fries were cold. Husband....meatloaf and mashed potatoes.....potatoes were cold. He asked for hot ones. They only brought them out after he finished his meatloaf. And they were swimming in CHICKEN OR TURKEY gravy, not the brown gravy that went with the meatloaf dinner. They were like soup. They did take my meal and my daughter's meals off the bill. We asked to speak to a manager, were told that there was not a manager there, just the bartender, server and cook. So my husband ate dinner by himself.... Then, we had to leave and go somewhere else for my daughter and I to eat.... And he had to sit and wait for us​

My two dining companions were also impressed by the portion sizes and the flavor of their dishes. From now on, whenever I'm in Middletown, I'll be eating at the Brownstone Café!

The waitresses are always very nice, and out of the million of times i've been here, the service has never been slow. You do have to come early ish, we usually do 10-11am, and the breakfast is delicious! I LOVE their home fries & the eggs & toast are good too. Growing up, i'd always get chocolate milk with whip cream on top, only here! Yes, it is a small place, yes, there is limited seating, but the food is genuinely so good. I do wish they would accept cards however. I do have to say however, I am very disappointed in how they carry themselves on Kuppys facebook page, once they shared an anti-transgender post making fun of individuals who are trans, myself and a few others commented that it was not ok & in bad taste... They blocked me So i haven't been back since :)

I can't say I've ever had a meal here that knocked my socks off, but I also never had a bad experience with the food either. The service on the other hand, they are consistently inconsistent. This last time, we were there a total of 2 hours, with about 35 minutes eating and the rest of the time waiting to get menus, waiting for our food, and trying to track down our waitress for the check. Sometimes however, I have been in and out in an hour with no issues. If you are considering coming here for the bar experience over the dining, they do have a decent amount of live entertainment throughout the year, as well as a decent bar selection. The above mentioned issues with service still apply however.

After an hour of sitting and waiting for food we had to flag down the waitress. When we inquired about the food the waitress was not helpful at all. Her response was I have no control over whats going on with your food. No apology or management involvement at all. At this point I really had an issue with paying a $400+ bill and getting zero customer service. I went to the bar to request our tables drink tab so we could pay and leave. As I am paying the bar tab the food is all of a sudden ready.... Needless to say I do not recommend paying $65 per person for all you can eat crab to be treated so poorly. Take a pass on this place... Not worth the $$ or frustration.

The best word that comes to mind is unmemorable. The…read moreatmosphere is genuinely nice for a bar: industrial with exposed brick and those garage doors that give it a cool, open vibe. It reminded me a lot of Gasoline Street Coffee Company in Pittsburgh. Service was good despite the light staffing. On our Friday evening visit, as far as I could see there was only one person handling the bar and tables, but she was friendly, attentive, and handled everything with a smile. Unfortunately, the two biggest reasons most people head to a bar/restaurant--food and drinks--fell a bit flat. The food was fine, but nothing stood out, and portions/prices felt a little high for the quality. The biggest downside was how quiet it was. A Friday night with only 2-3 other patrons made the place feel empty and a bit discouraging. No one wants slammed service from overworked staff, but the opposite isn't ideal either. If you're in the area and want a low-key spot with good vibes and don't mind basic food, it's worth a try. But if you're looking for a lively scene or standout eats, you might want to keep driving.

It's fun, relaxed, and the kind of place you can easily lose track of time in. What really stood out early on was the service. Our waitress was not only attentive, but genuinely helpful--honest, informative, and confident in her recommendations. Since there's no drink menu, she guided us toward what they do best, including the espresso martini. I appreciated the direction... but the drink itself didn't quite match the expectation. I was hoping for something silky, rich, and indulgent--almost dessert-like--but it landed closer to a pre-mixed version. Not bad, just not memorable. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, which makes it approachable without sacrificing variety. Now, the highlight--my Black n' Bleu Delmonico, cooked medium. This dish delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the bleu cheese garlic butter added a savory, melt-in-your-mouth richness that made each bite better than the last. It paired beautifully with the soft baked sweet potato--simple, comforting, and exactly what it needed to be. We started with loaded fries, and honestly... dangerously addictive. Crispy, flavorful, and the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for without realizing how much you've eaten. My husband went with the surf and turf--filet mignon and lobster tail. The lobster was a standout: buttery, tender, and cooked just right. The filet, though cooked to his liking, lacked seasoning and depth. It needed more intention--something to bring it to life beyond just butter. Overall, Gilligan's nails what matters most for a place like this--great atmosphere, strong service, and food that has real moments of excellence. It's the kind of spot you go to unwind, catch a game, and enjoy a solid meal in a lively, welcoming setting.

Large group lunch at Gilligan's. I want to be kind to them, but I want to be honest. Like typical…read morelarge groups, they assigned us two waitstaff for the day. They tried to meet all of our needs, bring around water, get things to the table at the right time. I can appreciate that. * Minor foible: Each table's food came out unevenly. 6 out of the 8 at our table got fed first. With the next batch, they started giving food to the next table before finishing ours. So the atmosphere was nice, the service was decent, but sadly the food was underwhelming. For this price point I was hoping to get more food on my plate - my lunch was gone within 5 bites and each bite cost multiple dollars. Icing on the cake: Automatic gratuity was 20% instead of the typical 18%. Just for being able to host us and meet our needs, I will round up to 3 stars, but I recommend you drive deeper into Harrisburg for more food at a better value.

The parking lot is empty (not unusual for this time of day) and we're the only customers. Upon entering, the hostess/waitress seemed annoyed we came in, based on her demeanor. I had a sense to walk right out before being seated but I'm starving, so let's see what happens... Not many places charge for a basket of chips and salsa, but here they do ($3.99). I can't recall if that was the case last few times I was here. They were crispy and I did really enjoy the red salsa. I ordered two quesabirria tacos and one chicken taco since they were only available à la cart. The wife got two shrimp tacos. Mine came with a side of consommé that was mostly water and lacked flavor. I had to add salt to the tacos since they needed flavor that the consommé wasn't providing. The salsa Verde that came on the chicken was medium spicy and had a nice kick to it. It actually made me sweat, but in a good way. We ate pretty quickly because I just wasn't feeling a good vibe inside the restaurant. I asked for the check and presented my coupon. While getting checked out at the register, I asked for change for a $20 (for a cash tip) in the form of a 10 and two fives and was presented a 10 a five and five ones. I did not want the one dollar bills because I had several in my pocket already. Again, this waitress either just didn't care or I don't know wtf her problem was. No positive energy at all and left me wondering "why?" Your customers are your livelihood, treat them nicely and they'll keep coming back for more... Not sure we'll be back anytime soon based on the attitude. Food was good, not great. Sorry for the 3 stars, just couldn't "get it up" to 4.
