    Waterfront Bar & Grill - I think this was called the Riverfront Signature Salad.  It was either this or the black 'n blue burger.

    So you get 3 lame reviews about the beans and the broccoli. The meals I've had here (and they are…read moremany) with many friends over 20 years keep us coming back. The deck is sometimes crowded, so I'm hesitant to encourage more visitors, but the poor reviews are total anomalies and misleading. Servers are always friendly, sometimes slow if it's crowded perhaps, but first class. Come for the setting on the river and the scenery as well as the food and the beer. I can't think of a meal that wasn't tasty, laid back and pleasant. That's why I keep coming back and why I always bring friends from out of town up here to The Waterfront. Watching the mighty Susquehanna. Always a treat!

    I really like this place and wish I'd remember to come here more often for the spectacular views,…read morecold beer, and good food. Minus one star for spotty service, usually due to lack of wait staff or the servers paying more attention to the regulars than the non-regulars. It happens, and so do less than perfect reviews. Gotcha! Last time here, got the special of the day, Brisket Sandwich with Fries. 5/5 on that due to it being incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. Would get that any time it's on the menu. My friend got the bacon cheeseburger and really enjoyed that as well. Other than being there a little longer than we planned, great meal and a good value. Oh, and the amazing views of the river and mountains!

    If Gary's Bar was in DC, it would be my favorite bar. We were in the area to see Iron Maiden and…read moreevery other bar around Hershey closes at midnight so off to Palmyra we went. The exterior of Gary's is unassuming to say the least and as we drove up, my friend in the back seat involuntarily muttered "What are we doing." However we started to feel the magic pretty quickly once we settled in at the bar. There was great local beer and cider on tap at Palmyra prices and a solid jukebox. "Dallas sucks" was stenciled/stickered onto the mirror behind the bar, which are words that a lifelong Giants fan can get behind.

    If you're not from the area and want to meet locals, this is definitely a place where you'll notice…read morethe difference in how you're treated. From our experience, the bartender and barback seemed to prioritize the local regulars first. They would eventually get to us, but only when they were ready. The bartender's name was either Eric or jake , and the barback was Cayden. Cayden seemed to notice what was happening, but he appeared young and understandably didn't want to risk getting in trouble with his boss. At one point, when I mentioned the way we were being treated, he responded, "Well, that's my boss." My husband and I are people of color, and unfortunately, we couldn't help but feel like we were being treated differently because of our skin color. We sat at the bar for about 20 minutes before finally ordering one drink. Shortly afterward, the bartender announced last call. He also closed out our tab without ever asking if we wanted to keep it open. We tried getting his attention again and waited another 15 minutes. When he finally acknowledged us, he said he'd be right with us, but continued serving the local customers. He eventually served everyone who was local and then told us the bar was closed. When I questioned the situation, he cursed at me and said I should have "fucking came earlier" because he was "fucking busy." At that point, it was extremely difficult not to feel like we were being treated differently because we were people of color and not locals. I understand that bartenders get busy, but the difference in how we were treated compared with the local customers was very noticeable. The only positive thing I can say is that the locals themselves seemed welcoming. It's just unfortunate because we have family and friends in the area, and to visit somewhere in a community where we have connections, only to leave feeling disrespected, uncomfortable, and unwelcome, was incredibly disappointing. No one should have to feel like they don't belong somewhere simply because they aren't a local. And regardless of whether someone is a regular or a first-time customer, everyone deserves to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.
