I'm going to write a review but preface it by saying we ate there shortly after they opened and I'm willing to try again to see if things have improved. The burger was bland. The crab cakes were greasy. The wrap was boring. The omelet was ok. By the time you add a drink it's about $15-20 a person. All of the entrees felt $2 more than the value for the quality. The sides $1 more that the value for the quality. A basic cheeseburger is over $9 and it's $3 more for lettuce, tomato, onion, and fries. So you're at $12 for a boring improperly cooked burger. Add $3 for a drink and there's your $15. A basic grilled cheese is $5.50 with a pickle and a few chips. For the same price, I would choose a fast-food place. Service was slow and lots of mistakes were made. I'll chalk that up to it being newly open. There was a heavy mildew smell when we walked in. Hopefully that's dissipated. The breakfast foods on the tables looked better than the non-breakfast foods. I'd probably try it again for breakfast. The place has potential. But I wasn't impressed when I went. read more

Went to grab a nice breakfast meal at the new Jonestown Diner! It was a quick and gratifying experience! We sat at the counter and ordered a Jonestown Breakfast special and 2 egg special. I had egg whites, sausage links, crispy homefries, French toast, and white toast. It was delicious to say the least! The waitress was super friendly and attentive! The entire meal came out to $30 for the both of us. Definitely going back! Customer service: 4.5/5 Cost: 4/5 Quality: 5/5 read more

I had net had broiled fish with tomatoes, peppers, and onions before. The vegetable garnish was great. It was a really nice portion of fish. The stuffing & macaroni & hamburger soup were ok. My friend got a large burger & fries that looked delicious! The service was friendly & efficient. I would go back. Would love to try the burger & fries it was a nice atmosphere. Lots of tv's and people enjoying themselves. read more

I ordered the Jonestown rd breakfast special with bacon, hashbrowns, and dry rye toast. To try a little of everything. The pancakes were fine. The toast came out as buttered wheat toast. The bacon didn't come out at all. I sent the toast back. The bacon came out after my plate was empty and the rye toast came out after I got my check. They put the toast in a Styrofoam container to take home. When I got home it turns out it was buttered as well. Since they gave me the toast after the food was already done and the bacon came at the end as well. I feel they should have offered to take something off the bill at least the toast, which came after the check did and ultimately wasn't correct. read more

The food was very bland. The homefries didn't have any flavor as well as the scrapple. The cooks do NOT wear gloves and saw them continuously touching the food with their hands. For breakfast they have a tray with bread already toasted on a tray for the servers to take from so the bread was very soggy. The cooks yelled the whole time we were there. Yelling out food orders, etc. which did not create a good atmosphere. Service was good but we will not return. read more

My cheeseburger was to be medium well and it was so overdone and dry. I had to put ketchup on it in order to eat it. my niece's sweet potato fries were burnt. The rolls were hard as a rock so I asked for some fresh ones and the waitress said "well I'll go microwave these and that'll soften them up. " I think that was an awful way to solve problem. Also was billed for fries with my burger. Was led to believe they came with it. Was not a good experience. read more

The waitress was obviously new. She had never been a waitress before and was unsure of the items on the menu. She didn't know anything about food allergies, and was unsure about what was in the dishes. She was super nice but wouldn't ask questions because she said she would get in trouble. Food was nothing special. Soup had a ton of onion. Salad was ok. Nothing was made at the diner. Nothing came out as requested. My friend was missing the cheese on her omelet and they charged her extra for it. Not excited about going back. read more

The restaurant itself is a sprawling campus featuring beautiful vintage architecture inside the main building, alongside a modernized covered patio for comfortable outdoor dining all year round. Service was excellent throughout our meal. We made these reservations a few weeks in advance for such a large party with animals, and they were completely ready for us when we arrived. The food was above average and exactly what I have come to expect from slightly upscale American brunch spots. I opted for the kitchen sink breakfast, which is rightfully named since it includes eggs, a thick slice of country ham, biscuit and gravy, and home fried potatoes. Everything was well prepared and really hit the spot after being outside for a few days of camping. I also split an order of the strawberry ricotta pancakes with my wife and was very impressed. I am not usually one to eat pancakes, but these were incredibly light and fluffy. The ricotta complimented the strawberries well, making the dish taste very similar to a strawberry shortcake. Overall, this is a solid brunch spot with great ambiance that I can highly recommend if you are in the Harrisburg area.
