My husband and I stopped by Benaiah's on a Thursday evening during happy hour, and it exceeded our…read moreexpectations. The dining room has an upscale feel with white tablecloths and wine glasses already set at each table, yet the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with most guests dressed casually. It was quiet when we arrived, making it a perfect spot to unwind, and gradually became more lively as the dinner crowd came in. We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender took care of us for the entire meal. He was friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about his craft. We started with mocktails - a Marigold and a Berry Pop - and they were absolutely outstanding. These weren't just fruit juice blends--they were thoughtfully crafted with premium non-alcoholic spirits, bitters, and other quality ingredients. They had all the complexity and presentation of a traditional cocktail, and we were genuinely impressed. We ordered small plates to share from the happy hour menu. The grouper tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the mango habanero crema added the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. The elote potatoes were the best! The smashed fingerling potatoes were crispy around the edges with just the right amount of seasoning and spice, and the roasted corn complemented them beautifully. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. If you appreciate a unique menu featuring premium ingredients, a talented chef, and a skilled bartender who pays attention to every detail, you'll love Benaiah's. We left impressed and are already looking forward to coming back.

The salmon was also enjoyable, and the deconstructed fajitas were creative, though I'm not sure the deconstructed approach worked quite as well as traditional fajitas. The wine was a standout. The Tempranillo and Montepulciano were both excellent. Our server, Tina, was great--friendly and attentive, and she made the evening even better. Overall, a good meal with some creative dishes, excellent wine, and wonderful service.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We had high hopes because it's in a good area and…read morethe facility itself is nice. It was a pleasant evening, so we sat outside, not anticipating all the bees that would hover over our food while we ate. I had a half a rack of ribs and my husband had the salmon. My rib ribs were tough and I couldn't eat the mac & cheese as it was very thick and gloppy, for lack of a better word. The texture of it was unpleasant, so I just left it. My husband had the salmon which came with asparagus and rice. There was nothing on his plate that had any flavor. Both of our dinners were very disappointing. We are Coke people and this place serves Pepsi, so we got iced tea. It was the kind of iced tea that has a funky aftertaste, so we just sipped a little to wash down dinner. We are new to the area and were hoping maybe we had found another restaurant to enjoy, but this one will not be it. We will not go back.

2026 Review - This place is nice! We went there last Wednesday to play trivia and they didn't have…read moreit...but guess what they did have (Spongebob Voice)? PENGUINS VS. FLYERS ON EVERY SCREEN!!! When I say every screen, I think they have about 30 televisions surround the entire interior of the building as well as what looks like how Hockey games have the scoreboard around the center, that's how it is their with the televisions. Trivia is every Wednesday at 7PM. It's a pretty good time honestly. There's a guy named Juan that runs it. He has good style, he is a classy individual and a very intelligent man. Do not use your cell phone or he will exclude you from the game. His rules, not mine... understandably some of the questions are hard but it is what it is. As for the food, it's amazing no matter what I get. From the Loaded Nachos to the Reuben to the Mozzarella Sticks, PB Burger, Fried Pickle Spears, and their Brownie Sundaes... Simply amazing! Every bite makes you want another. The waitresses their are attentive, communicative, responsive, they have jokes and are very polite and respectful. It's a place you can take your Mother.

Just a strange response. Like oh, I can ask someone or would you like a sample, would be an expected response... So I opted for something else. Next they brought my son's drink and mine but forgot my husband's. So I had to ask for it, again. The wings were fine, probably the only thing I'd recommend. My son's Mac and cheese was Kraft. He wouldn't eat it. My husband said his burger was just ok. I didn't like the fries and my "Philly" cheesesteak was quite basic and really nothing to write home about. Definitely will not return. Very strange vibe where no one seems happy to be working there.

The fondues were so good and I love that we can get extra dippers at no charge. Even without an entree, this meal made me so full! I also ordered the peeptini which has a peep and an ice cream base and best of all, it is pink! My favorite cocktail I've ever had, but unfortunately it is seasonal. Parking is a block away in a gated lot. I think we paid $8 for two hours and sadly the restaurant does not validate.

Large group lunch at Gilligan's. I want to be kind to them, but I want to be honest. Like typical…read morelarge groups, they assigned us two waitstaff for the day. They tried to meet all of our needs, bring around water, get things to the table at the right time. I can appreciate that. * Minor foible: Each table's food came out unevenly. 6 out of the 8 at our table got fed first. With the next batch, they started giving food to the next table before finishing ours. So the atmosphere was nice, the service was decent, but sadly the food was underwhelming. For this price point I was hoping to get more food on my plate - my lunch was gone within 5 bites and each bite cost multiple dollars. Icing on the cake: Automatic gratuity was 20% instead of the typical 18%. Just for being able to host us and meet our needs, I will round up to 3 stars, but I recommend you drive deeper into Harrisburg for more food at a better value.

I got the happy hour espresso martini ($6) - which was very good. I also ordered the cheeseburger sub and the wife got the seafood platter.

I am waiting to go back and have a Bloody Mary on a Saturday afternoon. That's my next review!

The wings are simply the best as I always state in previous reviews. They are priced right and they offer a whole range of different flavors and these are not the little baby wings that you would get at some other place. These are nice size wings. When we go on Saturdays, they usually offer different type of food options in specials and you really cannot beat. The pricing in a food is well prepared. It's a restaurant/bar/sports bar whatever sport is going on. You're gonna find it on all of their screens so for the sports chunky this is heaven. Thank you for always providing such amazing wings and we will be back soon !!

But once Nikki, our server, approached us, it was an enjoyable dining experience. Why? Nikki was attentive with the right amount of check-ins, and she knew the menu. She even reminded me about the new customer rewards program in conjunction with Hershey Pantry, Valley Bistro, and Cornerstone Coffeehouse, available through the Toast App, which tracks visits and eventually earns discounts on a meal. This is my second visit under the new ownership; nothing has changed except that there is now a Happy Hour on the tavern side, weekly specials, and no more free coffee--still a gem of a neighborhood restaurant with the same menu we have come to love. I enjoyed my Caesar Salad with Salmon.
