    Progress Grill menu

    Unsurprisingly, many couples chose the local iconic Progress Grill to celebrate Valentine's Day. It was a busy night. Hubby made our reservations because he knew we would have a fine dining experience for a romantic night. The food: superb appetizer and entree choices, including stuffed mushrooms, Surf and Turf, stuffed flounder, and those beets; oh my, everything was delightful. My only disappointment was that our server didn't share the dinner specials, assumed we wanted regular still water, forgot our salads, and brought the wrong dessert. Please note. We did receive our side salads to take home with our leftovers.)

    progress grill has been around for decades. menu has been streamlined, one full page. descriptions are misleading. portions are small. wedge salad compared to Outback needs improvement. clams casino,'clams were small, not fully baked, very moist tasting, french onion soup big glob of cheese, not memorable, seafood combination, the lobster portion was the highlight, the soufflé cups threw me off, all the food was moist not cooked all the way through, almost microwave ish. service was ok, not great. Ambiance needs to be refreshed

    Let me start by saying my husband and I have been patrons of Progress Grill for over 20 years and is our "go to" for date night and special occasions. We made a reservation for the day before Valentines Day for a Valentine date nite. This was the first time in over 20 years we were so disappointed with our service that we asked for the order to go due to poor service. Our reservation was for 7p.m. and we were seated about 7:15, we ordered drinks and an appetizer around 7:30 and we told out server we knew what we wanted for our entree but she said she would be back to take our order, she never came back, until around 7:45 with our drinks and appetizer. We ordered the Broiled Seafood Platter #2 and finally got our salad around 8 pm. It took an hour to get a side salad and an order of coleslaw. My husband went to the bar to order another drink because we were no longer waiting on our server to come back. By 8:35 we still didn't have our entree and my husband made the decision to contact our hostess and just cancel our entree however, she said it was just coming out so we requested it to go.. There were people at other tables that we had walked in with that were leaving because they were finished with their meal. The hostess apologized and comped our desserts which was appreciated and our Seafood Combo Platter's were excellent as always but the service was just unacceptable. We walked out of the restaurant around 8: 50 and still didn't eat our dinner. We were so looking forward to dinner at one of our tried and true favorite restaurants sadly we were let down. I am not sure that we will go back.

    After a long drive, we stopped for dinner at the Progress Grill toward the end of the day. Tip: PG normally adds a tip to the check for groups to avoid problems Food was outstanding, especially the seafood! The atmosphere was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly :-) The menu here is extensive, and no matter what you order you really can't go wrong - highly recommended!

    Love these older "fine dining" restaurants.  I always get the pork chops. They give you 2 huge thick pork chops that are super juicy.

    A great restaurant with great ambience. Love these older restaurants in our area. They give you so much food. You're also paying for a second meal.

    Overall: Three generations of my family have been eating at Progress Grill for 20+ years. Stepping into the restaurant is almost like stepping into a time capsule, in the best way possible. The atmosphere, much of the wait staff, and the standard (especially with the crab cakes!) have not slipped an inch. Appetizers: French Onion Soup ($7) - A relatively mild, but tasty onion broth, with plentiful bread and perfect amount of melted cheese. One of the best onion soups around! Oysters Rockefeller ($16) - These oysters were large and tasty, and the garlicky spinach helped make for a great bite. Entrees: Crab Cakes w/ French Fries + Baked Potato ($40) - This is the gold standard for crab cakes. BIG lumps, only a little filler, and perfect flavor, broiled to a crispy perfection on the outside. We are forever searching for a crab cake that meets this high bar, and we have yet to find it.

    I first discovered Hookers Seafood Joint thanks to social media doing what it does best --…read moreaggressively showing me videos of garlic butter crab and shrimp fries until resistance became pointless. One look and it immediately earned a spot on my "we're going here soon whether the universe likes it or not" list. Friday Night Date Night doesn't usually send me into the city. After a long week of people-ing, I typically lean toward easier parking and fewer humans. But this Friday? I was willing to tolerate civilization just a little longer for seafood that looked that good. We rolled in around 5pm and somehow scored a street parking spot just a few doors down -- AND it was free after 5pm. At that point I assumed the night was blessed. Walking inside was...an experience. The space was pretty dark, with most of the lighting focused near the kiosk ordering stations at the back. A few empty tables, music playing overhead, and honestly -- it felt a little chilly inside for a February evening. But we didn't come for ambiance. We came for garlic butter seafood chaos, and we were committed. Ordering is done through self-service kiosks. We selected dine-in and ordered the garlic butter crab and shrimp fries ($13.99), the crab cake, shrimp, and cheesy grits ($27.49), and two Diet Pepsis ($1.25 each). Total came to about $55 with tip -- very reasonable considering what we were about to experience. While we waited, a few people came in for pickups and one very busy staff member (hoodie included) was hustling back and forth like a one-person operation keeping everything moving. A little while later, our food arrived -- already packed in to-go containers, which honestly felt like a thoughtful move because leftovers were inevitable. And then we opened the containers. And then...we fell in love. Garlic Butter Crab AND Shrimp Fries: Absolute insanity in the best possible way. Piled high with shrimp and crab -- and I mean no skimping whatsoever. Garlic butter sauce everywhere, perfectly crispy seasoned fries underneath, and rich, savory flavor that made it impossible to slow down. This is the kind of dish you think about later while staring into the void. Crab Cake, Shrimp, and Cheesy Grits: I am not a grits person...or at least I wasn't before this moment. These creamy Gouda cheesy grits have officially converted me. Smooth, savory, and ridiculously good. The crab cake was golden perfection with minimal filler, the shrimp were huge and perfectly seasoned, and the Cajun cream sauce tied everything together into what might be one of the best dishes I've had in months. Possibly longer. I'm still thinking about it. We ate until logic intervened and still left with about a third of the food for round two -- which I'm already excited about. Hookers might be easy to overlook if you're just passing by, but do yourself a favor and make it a destination. If you love seafood, this is easily one of the most underrated spots around. Big flavor, generous portions, fair pricing -- no over-the-top "trying too hard" seafood theatrics required. I showed up curious, left full, and now find myself emotionally attached to cheesy grits. That feels like a successful night.

    My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone; I am here to do a review!! I was…read moreout mid-afternoon on another beautiful ride here in Central Pennsylvania. The day before, I stopped at the same place to get some delicious fish, but that night I wasn't able to "swim with the fishes," so I came back the second day--and that was the best "swimming in the ocean" I ever did. I indulged in some delicious, cheesy, savory grits along with some delicious shrimp, fried to perfection with a golden, crispy brown outer layer drizzled with seasoning (but not too much). I also had some delicious flounder; now, this fish wasn't any less than the shrimp. The fish was one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had. I know a lot of fish--all the fish in the sea know me, and I know the fish. I must say the establishment is pretty inviting; however, myself being a cleaner, I know that it can definitely use a good cleaning. I did use the bathroom, and well, that was before I had my food and not after, which means it's good, and also the kitchen is clean. I enjoy this place because you do not have to deal with a waiter when it comes to ordering your food. All you have to do is just order at a kiosk, which makes it more convenient. They also sell smoothies, which are very nice as well. I do recommend this place for "to-go" food. To dine in would be okay, but would not be ideal only because it does need a good touch-up; however, the food is always consistent. If you have any questions, there are staff on site. I hope my review helps you make your decision on choosing to visit this location. My Ratings: * Food: 5/5 * Establishment: 2.5/5 * Convenience: 5/5

    We were on vacation and had planned a dinner out with friends to celebrate our daughter's birthday…read more We initially stopped by a hibachi steakhouse, but after being seated, we waited 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. When the waitress finally arrived, she mentioned she was the only one working and implied that the slow service would continue throughout the evening. Thankfully, my husband quickly looked up another local spot, and that's when we found Captain Krab Cajun Seafood & Boil--what a blessing! Not only did we enjoy incredible food and exceptional service, but both the server and the owner went above and beyond to make our daughter's birthday truly special. We were treated to fresh, delicious seafood, a sparkler candle dessert, a plush gift for the birthday girl, and even a light-up birthday sign! We felt like part of their family. We ordered oysters, clam chowder, boiled eggs, baby clams, and snow crab legs--everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. You can even customize your meal by choosing from four different seasonings and five levels of spiciness, which makes it ideal for families or groups with mixed tastes. One of the most fun parts? You can write on the walls, tables, and even the ceiling! They also have a claw machine for the kids (and kids at heart). We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! P.S. It's BYOB!
