    The Pork Bar-B-Que Sandwich was delicious especially with the sweet pickled relish.
    Melissa R.

    We've driven by the Red Rabbit on our way to Penn State for the past 4 years, but they've either been closed, or we've been on the wrong side of the road driving home in the opposite direction. Red Rabbit Drive In comes up quickly on your right side so be prepared, but as soon as we pulled in, a server came right over to our car to take our order. We had already looked at the menu on line and knew we would order a Bunny Burger, which they cut for us, and a pork bbq sandwich (also cut for us so we could share). The burger has its own special sauce and that, along with the pickle and onion, made it delicious. We also loved the pork bbq sandwich which was topped with a sweeter pickled relish. Yum! I especially enjoyed their milkshakes which are made with real ice cream and are thick and creamy. The black and white was perfect, but we also tried their peanut butter chocolate. Divine! They then put a number on your car, and when the food is ready, bring it over to your vehicle on a tray which attaches to your window. We were so excited, and everything was delicious. Keep in mine, they're cash only and when you're finished, they ask you to turn on your hazards and will come back and pick up your tray and trash. FYI, the bathrooms were very clean. We'll be back in the spring when we can enjoy the whole experience with the windows down and music playing.

    I have heard about this place for years and finally made it up in that direction during open hours and it did not disappoint! This place is nostalgia turned up to 11. We ordered burgers, hot dogs, fries. I specifically had a chili dog and ordered a cup.of cheese sauce for my fries. The food was so much better than O expected, with small touches, like toasted buns, that made it excellent. My burger was cooked perfectly, still juicy and delicious. I love the bunny dust but was surprised to find that it's essentially a blend of salt and pepper. I want to go back and try more of the menu.

    Horrible picture due to bad lighting in the car, but this is a Double Bunny Burger.  Messy, but pretty tasty.

    On the way to Penn State, I saw this place off to my right and it looked pretty cool. I had my Brother text me the name of it while I was driving and then looked it up later during the game. We decided to come here for dinner on the way home from the game. It's an old school drive in. You pull up, put on your hazard lights and a waitress comes out to your car to take your order. I went with a Double Bunny Burger, split an order of fries with my Brother, and I got a large raspberry shake. My Brother got the pork bbq sandwich and a chocolate shake. The waitress gets your food and delivers it to you on a tray you hang on your partially rolled down window. Old school cool! How was the food? It was pretty good. The burger was a tad messy, but was tasty enough. 2 patties on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato, bacon and special sauce. Kind of a smaller burger, but it was ok. My Brother liked his pork sandwich. Fries were really good! Dusted in their own seasoning, crispy and tasty. The shakes were bomb! My raspberry shake was perfect! Definitely a cool spot to stop at on the way to/from Penn State. They don't have many old school drive ins left, so stop while you can. The waitress that came to our car was incredibly sweet! Good times!

    First off, are you willing to die for a great burger? I would typically say "NO" but everytime I head east on SR 322 I realize I'm taking a huge risk to stop at the Rabbit. Access is horrendous and the place is always busy. That said, I stop at this place everytime I pass by because it is that much of a treat! It's a drive-in. You pull up and the waiter/waitress come up and take your order. They deliver the order to your car using the window tray system. Check their hours and days of operation, they're seasonal, and make sure you have cash! I always order the "Bunny Burger" that's made with beef (it's confusing). I typically get 2 single patty 1/4 lb bunny burgers, with their special sauce?, on a sesame seed bun. I do not like their upcharged poppy seed roll (hard/stale). This is possibly the greatest combination of size, roll, toppings, sauce, etc. in the burger world. If I were to do a burger challenge it would have to be here because I could polish off a full tray, with the right incentive. Other than the milkshake and fries, which are just OK, I honestly don't know what else they offer and don't care to find out.

    Great shakes, great burgers, great fries, great everything. The staff are very attentive and the service is fast. It's a pretty cool place to try. You roll up in your car, park, and put your 4 ways on to alert the staff that you need something. The food comes out on a tray that they place on the driver side window. This is a seasonal place, so they're only open during the warm months. They have a seasoning called bunny dust that is phenomenal, you can even buy it for $7. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

    What a cool retro experience!!! We arrived for lunch on a rainy day and it was not busy at all. Every time I pass this place it is always crowded so I felt like we had a VIP experience. They are open rain or shine and served us in the rain. I really appreciated such great service. We ordered two burgers and a malted black and white milkshake. Both were amazing. I loved the sauce on the burger and the smoked bacon. It was perfectly assembled. The shake was rich and thick... the way a shake should be! Cash only facility FYI!

    Is the Fried Chicken and fried fish as good as the burgers? Also, I was with if the sandwiches are the same as the dinner ones, same with the fries shrimp side? I'd like to know what Bunny Dust tastes like too.

    Joy's Grill & Burger House became a Friday Night Date Night destination during my birthmonth after…read moreI spotted them on social media. I've driven by Joy's a million times and somehow never noticed it before. It's tucked into a busy strip mall and easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it. Spoiler alert: you should be looking for it. My quest for the evening included both a burger and a chili dog, because they both looked amazing and I wanted the full Joy's experience. My adventure buddy and I arrived around 5pm and I was honestly surprised to see only one other person inside when we walked in. We grabbed a booth by the front door and looked over the menu again to finalize our plan. Since it was our first visit, we decided to order a few things and split them so we could try more. We ordered the loaded chili dog topped with chili, cheese, onions, and mustard ($5.25) and one of the Big Block Burgers -- specifically the Joy's Burger -- which came with grilled onions and mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, LA sauce, Swiss cheese, and fresh cut fries ($12.99). Naturally we added bacon for an extra $0.99 because that felt like the right decision. We also each grabbed a Diet Pepsi (to maintain some illusion of balance) for $2.50 each. Our total came to $25.69 before tip, which felt like a pretty solid deal for a two-person Friday night dinner adventure. The setup at Joy's has a classic old-school diner feel. The grill sits right behind the seating counter so you can watch your food being made, and they mix milkshakes right out front as well. The place is simple and no-frills -- and in my experience, those "keep it simple and do it well" places are often the real heavy hitters. The chili dog came out first, and the first thing I noticed was that this thing was HEAVY. This wasn't your typical skinny hot dog -- it was a full ¼-pound dog absolutely loaded with chili. The flavor reminded me of a Cincinnati-style chili dog and it was really good. The chili was flavorful instead of just decorative, the mustard and onions were balanced perfectly, and the bun did its job without getting in the way. As someone who takes chili dogs very seriously, I have to give Joy's credit for delivering a straightforward, perfectly executed chili dog. Next came the burger and fresh cut fries, and when I say this burger was big, I mean BIG. Two patties tall with all the toppings stacked high. We sliced it in half and immediately dug in. The bacon was perfectly crisp, the mushrooms and Swiss were generous, and the whole thing just tasted like a real, proper burger. Not a chain burger that started life frozen and tastes like it could have been reheated in my microwave at home. This was the kind of burger you picture when you say you're craving a burger. The fries were exactly what you want from fresh-cut fries -- the smaller ones nice and crispy, and the bigger ones crispy on the outside with that soft, fluffy inside. Splitting the chili dog and burger turned out to be the right call. It would have been easy to eat everything solo, but my stomach probably would not have forgiven me later. Our server was super friendly and attentive throughout the visit. While we were there, a few more people came in to eat, but overall it felt relaxed and easy for a Friday evening. Parking is free since Joy's sits in a strip mall, but it can be a little tight because there are several other popular businesses nearby. We were able to find a spot without trouble, but I could see it getting tricky during busier times. If you're looking for solid burgers, legit chili dogs, and an old-school diner vibe, Joy's Grill & Burger House is absolutely worth seeking out -- especially if you're like me and always on the lookout for your next great burger or chili dog adventure.

Not bad fore a cheap meal but not filling for wine who's hungry amend definitely not suitable for a "man size" burger. And on the Really sad side about this place is that they have no shame on charging the customers $1.00 for a pickle. Not saying that you're going to get a big pickle, just some pickle slices for the burger, but for an ext4a $1.00. Never going back, will warn others, and generally stay away from businesses that are CHEAP. I mean if they're so broke they need to charge you $1.00 for a few pickle slices then perhaps the actual proteins are cheap and suss. Just saying....

    A few months ago, I saw someone on social media post a hoagie from Momma Pat's A Little Taste of…read morePhilly Grille in Duncannon and immediately saved it to my ever-growing list of places I needed to investigate. On a late August Friday evening, Momma Pat's finally had its turn when I decided it sounded perfect for Friday night date night. I'd read that wait times can sometimes get a little long, so I called around 4:30pm to place my order ahead of time. They told me it would be about 30 to 35 minutes, which was perfect because it would take me nearly that long to get there anyway. PRO TIP: Call ahead! Momma Pat's is only open Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 7pm, and after seeing the size of the place and tasting the food, I completely understand why ordering ahead is a good idea. I pulled in about 35 minutes later and easily found parking. There were a few people enjoying the beautiful evening at picnic tables outside, and then I opened the door to go inside and actually laughed out loud. When I tell you Momma Pat's is tiny, I mean TINY. Literally one little room. But it was charming in this wonderfully laid-back, no-frills, very Perry County kind of way, and I immediately loved it. My order was ready when I walked up to the counter, but then I spotted cannolis on the menu for $3.50. Obviously, I needed one. Friday night date night isn't complete without dessert. My original order was a 12-inch Spicy Italian hoagie, a small order of Old Bay fries and a side of cheese sauce. With the cannoli added, I was still right around $20. In this economy?! I was suspicious. Then they handed me a bag of food that was SIGNIFICANTLY heavier than I expected, and my suspicion quickly turned into excitement. I squirreled my haul into the car and headed home for a picnic in the beautiful weather. First up were the Old Bay fries. The container actually held plain fries with two little cups of sauce. One was clearly the cheese sauce I'd ordered. The other was a mystery. Assuming it had something to do with my Old Bay fries, I opened it, dipped a finger in and tasted it. Oh...HELLO! I have absolutely no idea what was in that sauce beyond some glorious combination of Old Bay, spice and what tasted like hot peppers, but it was FANTASTIC! I decided to dip my fries instead of pouring the sauce over them, and my only regret was running out of sauce long before I ran out of fries. The fries themselves were pretty standard pizza shop fries. That mystery sauce, though? THAT'S the story. Next, I opened the cannoli. When I'd ordered it, they called the order back to the kitchen, which made me wonder if they're filled to order. Whatever they're doing back there, keep doing it! I opened the box to find a big, fat cannoli generously piped with filling, topped with chocolate and covered in powdered sugar. I firmly believe you should eat dessert first just in case something catastrophic happens before you finish dinner, so naturally I started there. Excellent decision! The filling was sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, the chocolate was just enough to set everything off and the shell was perfectly crisp. For $3.50, I'd happily order another one. And then came the main event. The 12-inch Spicy Italian hoagie. I picked it up and immediately started grinning because THIS THING WAS HEAVY. I carefully unwrapped it and found a seeded roll absolutely stuffed with Italian meats, cheese and everything I'd asked them to put on it, including a pile of spicy peppers across the top. It was one of the best-looking hoagies I've seen in a very long time. Then I took my first bite. GOOD. LORD. The whole thing was incredible! The meats and cheese tasted fresh, the lightly toasted seeded roll was the perfect delivery system for the mountain of goodness stuffed inside and those spicy peppers on top absolutely made it for me. I would like to formally petition for spicy peppers to become their own food group because I apparently need significantly more of them in my diet. The hoagie was enormous. Between that, the fries and the cannoli, there was enough food here to easily feed two people, probably more depending on appetites. I actually checked my receipt again because I couldn't quite believe I'd gotten that much really good food for around $20. The staff were fantastic throughout the entire experience, too. They were friendly when I called to place my order, had everything ready when promised, happily accommodated my last-minute cannoli addition and got me back out the door quickly to enjoy my Friday night. I'm not sure I can recommend Momma Pat's as somewhere you should STOP for dinner. I think Momma Pat's needs to be the DESTINATION. Generous portions. Really great food. Friendly people. Ridiculously reasonable prices. And a tiny little South Philly-style hoagie shop in Duncannon that I somehow managed to live near for all these years without knowing existed. Well, I know now. And from here on out,
