A cozy little bar with good food, drink, and service. We were pleasantly surprised by the selection and quality of the food. I can't say I've been to too many bars that serve crab-filled grilled cheese! I will say, I think the cheese and tomato soup overpower the crab taste a little, but it was still well prepared and hit the spot. The drinks were great as well. I wasn't expecting much more than beer (of which they have a large selection of), but they also have some good signature mixed drinks on their menu. read more

Food and service were both amazing. The yelling battered haddock...amazing. Came with an extraordinarily large serving of cheddar smashed potatoes. French fries crisp. read more

What a little gold mine. Good is great, service is awesome. It's clean and close to the Harrisburg airport.

I had an amazing experience at Hops and Barley restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was so much fun, and the locals really made me feel welcome. Highly recommended! read more

Nice local spot for food and drink. Great location and friendly staff. When in area give Hops and Barleys a visit. You will not be disappointed. read more

Adventures with Grubhub continued: this is a new addition to the restaurant list, and when I saw they have crab grilled cheese I jumped at the chance. The sandwich arrived with a cup of what might be tomato soup, (it's very thin but it does have chunks of tomato in it,) but the sandwich is definitely the star here. Overflowing with a variety of cheeses and chock full of seasoned crab cake meat I was pretty full after half of the sandwich. But not so full as to skip the perogies which I was excited about. The pierogi themselves are pillowy and chewy and delicious, and the bacon definitely added to the flavour profile. The reason this isn't a 4 star review is only due to the "sautéed onions" which are WAY undercooked and crunchy. This seems to be a bizarre rookie mistake in an otherwise very tasty meal. I'll be ordering again soon read more

As a bartender I would never act the way the bartender on 1/24 acted. She denied of age people service. They came in respectful, completely sober and she denied them service because she couldn't tell if it was a fake or a real ID and it was in fact real. She continued to prance around the bar and tell that "this isn't a college bar" "go to state college" when there is a college right down the road. If you don't enjoy your job say it. There is no reason to act like that and talk to every other customer about why you denied service. They were all 21 and plus. Come to Hops and Barley if you want poor bar service. This was highly unfortunate as we are frequent customers. read more

Picked up my wife at Harrisburg Airport and we were both hungry. This place was convenient and we had great food. I got brisket tacos and my wife had the ultimate grilled cheese with tomato soup. Service was great and beer was cold. A great local pub atmosphere. We would go back. read more

Good food! Good people! Prices decent! They do a lot for the high school program as well!

I've been going to H&B since shortly after they opened. Their bacon burgers are always amazing. The crabby dip is a huge hit for us too... It could use a little more crab meat in there, but flavor is great! We supported them during lockdown and was more than happy to do take out when dine in was not an option. The staff is great and enjoy the atmosphere when we eat in. But most times we do take out and is still phenomenal! ...hmm, may end up going there tonight! read more

I've only tried their food twice. Both times in the past 2 weeks, take out only via Uber Eats. I have never visited the physical location. So I can only speak of the food which was subpar at best. The first time I ordered the original Stromboli and the hops tots. The Stromboli was over cooked, and extremely greasy. The tots were only okay. The second time, I decided to give the Stromboli another try, thinking maybe it was a onetime issue. This time, the inside was undercooked and the dough inside was raw. Absolutely horrible. Needless to say, I won't be ordering food here again. Which is too bad because I try to frequent the smaller businesses. read more

Been here just a few times but so far, it's great! Never a bad meal. Service has been good & the atmosphere is relaxing. I am usually there mid day, so I'm not sure if the college kids come later in the evening. read more

The food here is very yummy We ordered The original boli, Supreme Nachos and a order of 5 mango habanero wings delicious. Love all the new changes the new owners made The only pain in the butt is parking but it's not like we don't need the exercise lol. read more

The 4 of us had the best time and food. The pierogies are the best I've ever had, especially with the $0.99 onion and bacon extra (sorry Nana). The Bang Bang Shrimp tacos amazing. We will order them every time. The bartender/waiter and all staff were 100% on point, fast, funny, and it was busy. If you are in the area, we all highly recommend! read more

Really not a fan of this place. First, parking was next to impossible. We had to park a few blocks down and walk to the building (which would be fine if the food was worth it). We went for trivia, which ended up being cancelled (which isn't their fault, but was frustrating). The general atmosphere was relaxed and has promise, but the meal itself dropped the ball. I saw good reviews for the crab Grilled cheese and wanted to try it. However, they decided to increase the prices $2 for any item with crab due to the market right now. This would be fine if there was actual crab anywhere on the sandwich. It was legitimately just cheese, not even with the flavor of any crab. I had my boyfriend try it, and he didn't even realize it was a "crab" grilled cheese. Therefore, the price increase only angered me that much more. My boyfriend got the cheeseburger Boli. He said it was okay, but dripping in grease. He likes greasy and fatty foods, but even he thought the pool on the plate was unappealing. Additionally, they charged the same amount that you would pay for a full sized Boli at a pizza joint that would feed a full family. But the Boli was about the size of my hand, tops. By the end of the meal, we were both still hungry. I have a rather small stomach and am usually satisfied with appetizer sized meals, but I was hungry after my meal, and my boyfriend was still hungry after his snack of a Boli. We actually ended up having to go out to eat somewhere else, which we have never had to do before (especially because we're pretty cheap). This establishment was very disappointing, both the prices and portion sizes. I highly recommend going to Ted's on Allentown Boulevard. Their food was our savior for the night. read more

Sometimes you find something you weren't even looking, Well folks on my trip to Pennsylvania I found the 2nd best hamburger I have ever had. The 1st being my Grandmother's, but she has passed , so being second to a dead woman ,is now 1st in my book. The Gouda burger had my foot stomping the ground to keep my tongue from beating a hole in the roof of my mouth. The French fries stayed crispy through out the entire meal. I didn't know if it was black magic in those potatoes or just pure genius on behalf of the chef. The service went above and beyond a smile and a kind word. To the point where I never wanted to leave. This old school pub and grub will be calling me in my dreams for many years to come. If I ever return to this wonderful city this will be my first and last stop. Thank you Hops and Barley you complete me. read more

A small town hit, Steve the owner is amazing and always making sure your food is what you expect. Never had a bad plate and enjoy the big food menu and great adult beverages. read more

Hops and Barleys - Loaded Grill Cheese with Tomato Basil Soup - American Near Me - Middletown, Pennsylvania

Hit and miss on service. Food what you expect. PACKED! Service depends on who. Courtney gives you the grumpy look. One wants to help the other you feel like you're making her go out of her way. New blood coming in so we'll see. Food has never disappointed. Portion matches flavor; if you like to eat and not pay an arm and leg then you're in luck. Just remember you're at a BAR order accordingly. Drinks always strong and worth it especially on happy hour. All bartenders know what they're doing. Linny will give service and quality. She's great for drink recommendations or just telling her to make what she's feeling. Just all around a great time. We come for the food but stay for Linny. If she's not there we'll walk out. read more

I just want to say at this point I don't care how the food tastes. There was a rockstar manager named Jason who literally just remade all my food because uber eats sucks. These guys were awesome and amazing listening to me broken voice. Jason and the bartender who answered the phone you guys are phenomenal. Thank you. read more

Ordered an all American burger done to perfection i wont share the pictures because it's gone but I highly recommend this place for burger lovers 100% great food read more

had a margarita on a random friday night- was good. ambiance was good. bartender was mad cool that night.

The food is very good. The atmosphere is quirky and feels like a neighborhood bar. The people are very welcoming.

I will never do business with this place again. They gave my food to the wrong person and then tried to blame everyone else. I can't believe how rude the owner was to a customer that frequently purchased food here. Stay away!!! read more

If you're flying out of Harrisburg and staying at the Fairfield Inn attached to the airport don't hesitate to check this spot out. Five minute drive no highway drive, ultra casual, great staff, excellent beer selection and great food. I found it on Yelp two weeks ago on a Thursday night, and looked forward to my repeat visit two weeks later on another Thursday. Not disappointed. read more

We were here years ago and it was ok, not terrible not worth choosing again as "date night." A few years later and we gave them another shot, they deserved it. So much so that we've been back 3x since returning 6 months ago. The staff is laid back, attentive, hard-working, and professional. Food was awesome, beer pours and prices are great, and the service was stellar. Whatever changed in those years has made a world of difference, happy to recommend this place to family and friends. read more

FYI ... Street parking only but very close to the airport. Started with a Troegs Perpetual IPA pint during happy hour ($2.50!!). My server said the Meatloaf Dinner was popular so I decided to try it. Two slices of meatloaf over mashed potatoes with corn on the side. So large a portion I could not finish it! Delicious comfort food. Great local hangout with good food. Solid 4-stars. Try it. read more

Great casual spot. Grabbed a burger and beer at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Give it a shot if you're in town.

Doesn't check tickets for pickup orders. Order was taken and had to wait another half hour until I got my food. The lady worker was not kind about it being her fault and tried blaming me for using grubhub. read more

Love this place. Great food, great people, great atmosphere! The coconut shrimp is my favorite thing in the world.

Hands down best place to eat Middletown! Prompt, friendly service, delicious fresh food, and a great selection of beer.
