The Potato Coop has quickly earned a spot on my must-visit list in Harrisburg and it's all thanks…read moreto their fresh cut fries. These things are the real deal. Topped with a perfect amount of cheese sauce, just the right hit of Old Bay, and a nice touch of chives, they absolutely deliver. My one suggestion? Skip the butter. It's unnecessary and ends up making the fries soggy, which is a shame when the fries themselves are this good. We also tried the crab fries, and while the crab meat isn't lump, it's still a solid topping. Just make sure they warm it up, because ours came out cold straight from the fridge sitting on top of hot fries. A small fix that would make a big difference. Now, the hot dog... I'd steer clear. It's deep fried, and mine came out burnt and dry. To make matters worse, it was served on a steak roll that was cold and tough. It just doesn't hold up to the star of the show. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars, and honestly that rating is carried by how incredible those fries are. We'll definitely be back, and next time I'm skipping the hot dog and going straight for more fries and maybe giving their burger a shot.

And I am so happy I did! I got a chicken cheesesteak mac & cheese we shared an order of pierogies and my friend got the fried chicken sandwich - wow! I everything was great! I do think their prices are little pricey, but trust me it's worth it! You get a big amount of food and more importantly it is so yummy! My only regret is not trying a load of potato, which will definitely be next on my list!

It'll make your toes curl and you'll smack your lips and dream about it for days! Get in here and give them some love, if you know what to expect, this place deserves 5 stars every time!

Bodega came through in a pinch and definitely filled us up, but.. Food took too long to come out…read morefor what we ordered. The issue was they did not have anyone working the front so the much needed prep cook had to come take orders. A spicy chicken sandwich with fries was on tap for me. It was okay. I was suppose to have blue cheese, but didn't have anything on it except for pickles (I didn't want lettuce) and an orange cheese sauce. The fries were excellent, just wish they gave more for the $12 price tag. The all beef hot dog was delicious! Only has one 2 person seater (or 4 person sitting uncomfortably), and 3 seater at the window. So we got our food to go. So I didn't knock them for the cooled down food. It has promise and will get there. Just need another person taking orders to keep kitchen staff in kitchen, focusing on making good quality food.

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.

REDD'S SAMPLER REVIEW (Includes two sides and cornbread)…read more Here's what I ordered and my honest ratings: Sweet Tea - 7/10 Good, but not quite that true Southern sweet tea flavor. Collard Greens - 7/10 A little more tangy than I prefer, but still decent. 1/4 Rack of Ribs - 8/10 Great flavor, just not falling off the bone like I personally like. Beef Brisket - 8/10 A different cut than I'm used to, but still flavorful. French Fries - 10/10 Crispy, hot, and easily the standout. Cornbread - 7/10 Didn't try it this time, but from a previous visit it leans a bit dry. Parking: Street parking available. It wasn't hard to find--we only had to walk about a block. Accessibility: There are steps to get to the second level (about two steps), so something to keep in mind. Amenities: There is a bathroom that's spacious and clean, with a changing table and wipes, which is a big plus. Atmosphere and Service: The staff was incredibly engaging and worked really well together. Depending on when you go, they may also have a small market set up. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, especially when it came to the service and overall environment.

Parking was easy, with spots right up front and no meters to worry about, which is always a win when getting kids in and out. The restaurant itself had a relaxed, welcoming feel. Inside, there was a mix of seating options including booths, half-booth tables, and standard tables, plus high chairs available for younger kids. One thing I appreciated was that the bathroom was very clean and surprisingly spacious. When you order, they give you buzzers for your food, and the staff was incredibly kind about it. My kids all wanted a buzzer too, and the employees happily gave them one, which honestly made their night. Small interactions like that really stand out to me when visiting places as a mom. One thing to know before you go: they do not have a soda fountain machine. Drinks are bottled or prepackaged options including Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Barq's Root Beer, Gold Peak Tea, and water. Complimentary water is available as well. They also accept both cash and card. What We Ordered I ordered the BBQ Sampler which included: 1/3 rack of ribs 1/2 lb pulled pork 1/2 lb beef brisket 4 wings 2 sides (I doubled up on fries) Rolls included I also grabbed a bottled Coke. The food came out quickly, definitely no more than about 15 minutes from ordering to table, which was impressive for dinner time. Food Thoughts The fries were honestly one of my favorite parts. They were super crisp and fresh. The wings were good, and I tried one of their newer sauces, a chipotle-style sauce. It personally was not my favorite because it had a much stronger Dijon flavor than I expected, but if you enjoy bold mustard-forward BBQ flavors, you may like it. They also had multiple sauce options available including: Sweet Sauce Mild Sauce Hot Sauce The pulled pork was solid, but the beef brisket really stood out to me. It had great flavor and was probably my favorite meat from the sampler. The ribs were also good, especially paired with their regular barbecue sauce.

We absolutely love coming up here !!…read more The staff is always cheerful and they greet you as soon as you walk in the door and providing there is seats that are open they see you very quickly . 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.

My Wife and I picked up some food from here and it was a mixed bag…read more Firstly, there was just one young man working and he was clearly very busy, but he couldn't have been nicer. Being able To govern excellent customer service while working on other orders is tough, but he did it well. We got an order of garlic knots to share, and they're were hit or miss. They were well backed and coated with butter and garlic, but very unevenly, so some bites were really bland and some werereally garlicky. I asked for some marinara, but we didn't get any packed. I think sauce would have helped the bland knots. We also got the Grandma's Pizza which really seems to basically be a margarita (cheese and basil). My Wife and I both thought this was a very good pizza. The pizza itself had a taste that reminded me of childhood (I believe the cheese and sauce tasted very similar to the pizza I'd get at a community park and it immediately took me back to 10 years old). The crust was very good as it had that nice crispy crunch when you bite into it, but it was also very airy and still have a bit of chewiness. The only thing that was bad was the funnel cake (or funnel fries as they're cut like French fries) dessert part of the problem may be that I ordered a funnel cake like dessert and didn't eat it immediately. There was a very light dusting of Powdered sugar, and like the garlic knots, most of it got placed on just a small area, so most of the strips just tasted pretty bland. They also appeared to be cooked very unevenly as some strips were very soft or tough as leather. My Wife and I both would come back here for pizza, but we'd likely not get the garlic knots and I'd likely pass on the funnel cake.
