    Pepperoni pizza (thin crust style)
    Leah B.

    Long hallway walking up to the bar with a few booths. Approximately 20 bar seats. Next to the bar there are 4-person high tops that could probably be pushed together if you had a larger group and it wasn't busy. Most chairs have backs but some are just cushioned stools. When the bar filled up a few were able to use those stools to add a seat or two to the bar area. Arrived around 4:30 on a Friday. They scan everyone's IDs. It became a little unclear sitting at a high top whether a waitress would come or not. A table behind us ended up leaving because no one came to them (even after it was clear waitresses were on duty.). Luckily our bartender was great and she just continued serving us because the one waitress went past several times without asking. It was fully packed by 6. Definitely a neighborhood bar type of vibe and you could tell some of the bar patrons knew each other. Knowing how smokey the prior bar was, this place is now non-smoking and you can't really tell it was previously smoking. Onesie bathrooms. Pizzas are thin crust style which is clear on the menu. They have both a food and drink special each day which is nice. Their ranch seemed homemade and was great! Originally they forgot the sour cream for the quesadilla but made eye contact with the bartender and she brought it over quickly. Hopefully they can figure out which waitress/bartender has what table so they don't lose additional patrons. Someone, maybe a manager or owner did come by to ask how the food was, which in my opinion is important to a restaurant overall, but especially in the early days. Overall, would return! I want to try their smashburgers next. Would rate a 4.5 if yelp would let me.

    This is the amount of roast beef on the roast beef sandwich...and NOTHING else. No horseradish.

    The Sturges Speakeasy - Enjoying solo brunch

    Everything about this screams, Irish speakeasy! As an appetizer, we ordered sausage, fried deviled…read moreeggs, which were surprisingly amazing with a honey mustard type of a sauce for dipping. My partner ordered fish and chips, which came out to be a huge piece of white fish, lightly battered and a generous portion of french fries, since Saint Paddy's day had passed. I ordered bangers and mash which again was amazing!. Sorry, no pictures this time.

    This spot has a great atmosphere with an easy, laid-back vibe. The people are welcoming, the food…read moreis good--borderline top-tier--and the drinks are creative and well executed. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The bartenders really know their craft, and the alcohol selection, including local beers, is solid. My only real issue is brunch. Every time I've visited after 12 p.m. (brunch is served until 2 p.m.), there's been a problem--either they're no longer taking food orders, the kitchen is backed up with a 45-minute wait, or they've simply run out of food. It comes off unprofessional and could definitely be handled better. I've noticed this becoming a growing trend during brunch service in general, and while some people suggest arriving as early as 10 a.m. for the best experience, consistency matters. If you're offering brunch, you should be properly staffed and prepared to serve guests throughout the full service window. Period. It's especially frustrating when you've traveled specifically to experience their culinary offerings and hit a wall like that. Overall, if you're looking for a spot that feels like a New York-style dive bar with elevated drinks and solid food--if you catch it at the right time--this place delivers. Just plan strategically if brunch is your goal.

    It's been 12 years since I last went to the Jackson House, and finally getting back there felt like…read morestepping into a completely different life. New me, new experience. like not a single cell from back then made the trip with me. We pull up, deal with Harrisburg parking (a whole separate scam I won't get into today), and walk into this little hole-in-the-wall lunch spot that closes at 2. That alone explains why it's been over a decade. But the second you step inside, it hits you this place has an aura. Straight New York-Philly energy. Metro signs everywhere, burger memorabilia, cheesesteak philosophy on the walls, Italian pride, city pride, just buku love, buku vibes. You order in a separate little room that feels like a classic bodega. Glass cooler with lunch meats, tiny soda setup, 50-cent refills, vanilla and cherry add-ons if you're feeling fancy. Cash only. No exceptions. We actually had to leave and hit an ATM because my roommate forgot. That's the kind of place this is. Feels like there's no internet in there. Like they might still be running a ham radio in the back. The guys working there? Straight 1970s New York swagger. You can tell this place has not changed since the day it opened, and that's exactly the point. And the wait,yeah, you're waiting. 20 minutes easy. But that's part of it. That's Staves of all the instant gratification and doom scrolling. It sets you back to a forgotten time. Then the burger comes out. This ain't no smash burger. This ain't no little quarter-pound situation. This is a big, meaty, juicy, chewy, greasy, gooey pound of flesh. And yeah, keep all of that. I'm staring at it for 30 seconds, salivating, practically full just looking at it. I finally put the bun on and go at it jerking my head around like a dog playing tug of war (making the most carnivorous, bestial sounds) I got the Jackson burger, lettuce, tomato, J-sauce. I need my J-sauce. And it hits and for a brief moment there is no worry in the world. This isn't a place you go every week unless you're trying to test your mortality. But when you go, you go all the way: 22-ounce Coca-Cola, burger, fries. No half measures. And the crowd? Office guys in suits on their lunch break. Capitol crowd. That's the vibe. I'm never in that world, so stepping into it felt like being dropped into a different city entirely--honestly felt like a Manhattan Lunch Break. The burger itself? Timeless. Not chasing trends, not trying to be Shake Shack, not Five Guys. This is some old-school, 1950s, Back to the Future-type energy. I half expected Marty McFly and Doc to walk in, get em one. Only surprise? No shakes. Feels like they should have shakes. They don't do fries with that shake. Now the one knock: the fries. Flavor? Perfection, hand cut boardwalk style fries. But I got a lot of little end pieces, now that's straight up disrespectful to me, how you gonna treat me like that?. I don't want to dig through little nubs to find actual fries. That's where I gotta be honest, dock a point. Overall though? Food: elite Experience: unmatched Vibe: 5/5 Conclusion - 4/5 (fix those bum-ass fries.)

    We needed a quick lunch spot in Harrisburg and a local highly recommended the Jackson House. It was…read moredefinitely not what we expected. This is a small restaurant near midtown that one might just pass by without a second thought. Don't do that. While small, we were able to find a table. But plan ahead because there was a long line tha ended up out the front door. Burgers and fries were very good. No pre-pattied burgers here. Get lots of napkins too because the burgers are juicy.
