    This is two of the four flights in the coffee flight. Elsa's chai and Buddy Latte.
    Audreanna B.

    The food was OK. I wasn't a big fan of the taste of the waffle. The cheese and bacon helped with the waffle was very firm and had an interesting after taste. I was not a fan of the taste of the coffee flights. Some tasted water down and were too strong. The staff however, were really friendly and the food did not take long to come out. The dining area was open and clean.

    I can't believe that I've never reviewed Valley bistro as it's one of my favorite places! My daughter and I went this morning for breakfast. There was a line, but it moved quickly. We love their grilled muffins and today we had the double chocolate muffin. It was moist and delicious. My daughter went with the classic Benedict to which she said her eggs were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. We went with the side of their tater tots, which are always good! I wasn't real hungry so I went with the avocado toast with a fried egg on top. It was a little heavy with the lemon aïoli today but the chili flakes give it a nice cake and it's always fresh. Even though it was busy, the staff did a great job with making sure that the drinks came out and had a steady flow of food, leaving the kitchen. You would think it would be noisy, but it's not it really is a place you must try over and over again. The menu is creative with weekly specials.

    I haven't had a single thing I didn't enjoy. We had the Mother Clucker sandwich with tots, the French toast trio, Rudolph's cold brew and Comet's Cookie Craze. The menu is SO BIG that we will definitely be back.

    We returned to Valley a bistro to dine in after far too long. I think the first time I was here was at least 5 years ago and I love how the restaurant has grown and changed, as well as how it's stayed the same. The quality of the food, and drinks, has stayed high. I had a Latte with oat milk and lavender. It was delicious. A nice tasting coffee not entirely overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting the lavender flowers on top, which was very pretty. I ordered the Salmon BLT with a side of tater tots. The serving sizes were so generous that I felt that a box would be prudent. There are boxes available near the counter where orders are taken & specialty drinks are so skillfully made. The tots were crisp with a nice crunchy exterior and soft potato inside. The sandwich was served on thick slices of Texas Toast and a sizable portion on salmon. The vegetables on the sandwich balanced the fish between spring mix of greens and avocado. The tomato, aioli & melted cheese gave the sandwich moisture. The bacon was smoky and crisp. My husband had the New Yorker and a side of home fries. He often chooses the New Yorker and had no complaints. The restroom was clean and well stocked. The floors & tables were clean and free from the detritus that sometimes accumulates after a lunch rush. The staff was friendly, active, and helpful.

    Valley bistro is a restaurant that 9/10 you're gonna be impressed with what you get. Unlike some restaurants that have extensive menus so the food doesn't get the time ( extra love and attention it deserves) this is not one of those places. All the food is delicious and you can tell love is put into every dish. The service is friendly and helpful, this place sometimes can have a line out the door but I'm telling you it's worth the wait! Ambiance is warm and cozy. If you're in the area, stop in!

    This place has been on my friend's to-try list for a while, and it was well worth it. They served our coffees overflowing and both were absolutely delicious. I got the crab hash and, holy smokes, it was one of the best things I've ever had. You order at the counter, take a number, and they bring the food out to you. You'll need to grab your own silverware, napkins, etc., but the staff is happy to bring anything else you need when they drop off your meal. We'll definitely be back soon.

    The food was great and delicious. The service was amazing even though there was a big line. The place was clean and it's also a family friendly place.

    I love it when I can check out a restaurant/experience that I see on TikTok/FB! Some Sista-Friends and I hit 81 North to check out Valley Bistro to do Brunch and let me tell you it was worth the Hr drive! It was very busy but the flow was good and the food was delicious! If you go, don't let the line scare you because it does go pretty fast, you order at register and then you go get a table and they bring the food out to you. Drinks are self serve and don't forget to check out their awesome selection of muffins, stuffed muffins, cakes, pies, etc., but I'd recommend taking that with you to go or you can enjoy it there with there coffee selection and different coffee flights and drinks, etc. I enjoyed the New Yorker, which is a pastrami breakfast sandwich and I also got the salmon BLT , I tasted a little bit of that and it was really nice with the lemon aïoli, but I mainly brought that to have at home . My sister Friends One got the chicken and waffles, one got the New Yorker too, and they got a shrimp and grits to share they felt that their food was very delicious and they would definitely go back to try other menu items. I did get me a lemon poppy mascarpone stuffed muffin to go and a hot honey peach cheesecake which I have never heard of before to go so I'm looking forward to trying them this weekend. The food was delicious, but most importantly the fellowship, the laughs and conversations was just what my spirit needed Go check out Valley Bistro

    We wanted to try this place for awhile after seeing a lot of content on Facebook. We came on a Saturday morning, so it was busy. But we were only in line for about 5-6 minutes which isn't bad considering the line was almost out the door. My latte was phenomenal, and the food was also fantastic! I do wish the chairs in the dining hall were a tad more comfortable, but otherwise it was clean, modern, and spacious! Definitely will be returning

    Went for lunch and got 2 different pizzas, they were both so different and delicious. It came out quickly and wasn't too busy. There were so many good options for both breakfast and lunch, definitely would need to go back!

    Chicken Benedict

    Amazing flavor, and amazing presentation for being takeout! We all know valley bistro isn't just your neighborhood diner, so ordering takeout or having it delivered is always a great choice! Wasn't the first time and won't be the last. Food is still warm and just like you'd get in house!

    blackberry cobbler iced latte
    Lisa S.

    This place was banging... at one point literally! Full house on Independence Day, July 4, glad they were open because friends recommended Valley Bistro to us. Everyone enjoyed their meals, from my crab hash (delicious but could have used considerably more Old Bay; I'm a Murlynder) and blackberry cobbler iced latte, to hubs' BELT (BLT with egg) to our friends' cinnamon muffin and gyro. Then partway thru our meal there was a tremendous crash from the kitchen and even the kitchen doors shuddered -- we guessed, sight unseen, that someone dropped a full tray of plates meals. A woman dashed over from the register side and eased herself in thru the door which would barely open; she shortly emerged, went to her car, and returned with a DeWalt drill and full toolbox. This is the kind of preparedness you want on your team. I know there was considerable picking up happening behind those doors because eventually she emerged, laughing, helping several other staffers carry out a full size metal table that we suspect had been fully laden with all the silverware and similar supplies of back of house until it couldn't support any more. Again, this is exactly the kind of person you want on your team.

    What's the ambiance? Reservation only? Sundays best or normal attire?

    It's counter service so no reservations. Casual attire and atmosphere. Weekends are the busiest ... so there could be a wait to get your food.

    Should we expect a long wait? I'm excited to try this place out with my family!

    It can feel like a long wait but there is so many people waiting for food so in reality the food comes at a reasonable time. Depending on the time you go, if it is busy expect to wait 20 mins in line to order and then another 20-30 mins to get your… 

    Do they serve breakfast all day or does it switch to lunch at a certain time?

    Pretty sure it's all day. I had a breakfast dish at noon once.

    4.5 Years Later: The Return Center Street Grille, Enola, PA…read moreLast time, long ago on our last visit, it was negative across the board: attitude from the hostess, long waits to order and for the food to arrive, and the BIGGEST un-crispy wings ever! We felt unwelcome and didn't enjoy our meals that night. Ok, fine, there are plenty of other restaurants in the area, no need to return. However, I may have turned my back, but I did not forget you, CSG. I remembered the good times, the trophies, awards, and accolades for your delicious sauces, and the excellent reputation that you've had all of these years. It was finally time for "The Return." Last night, a completely enjoyable meal and great service at the bar. (The dining room was very busy, and there were several seats open at the bar). It was actually our first time sitting at the bar and I believe this will now be our regular spot to eat and drink here. Got 6 Hot and 6 Creamy Garlic Parm. These wings were the perfect size for me, a little on the small to medium side, and they were cooked well. Not perfectly crispy, but close enough, and the flavor of the wings themselves were tasting fresh and delicious. I always loved their traditional hot sauce and this was my first time trying the creamy garlic Parm. The creamy texture was a little too much for me, so probably just get the regular garlic Parm next time. No issues with flavor, just a little thick and messy. (Somehow, I got that sauce on my shirt and on the back of my neck.) The Blue cheese was a great dipper for the hot sauce but I should've ordered a large cup. I also got the Cacio E Pepe Beef sandwich with fries; it was huge and awesome! I think I would order that every time I go here in the future It was so good. I'm glad that we can now place this restaurant back on our regular rotation list. See you again soon!

Dinner came out hot and delicious. Shout out to Cynthia A our server for her over the top service and hospitality. Center St. Grille is still one of the best relaxing restaurants in the area with a very unique menu.

    I've passed Watershed Pub a million times and never stopped, so when I met a friend for lunch, it…read morefinally felt like the right time to check it out. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence (read: stalked the menu for a full week) and had a game plan. At the top of my list? The deviled eggs and the Kale Caesar salad with salmon. The only problem...I absolutely did not need $40 worth of food for lunch. So I quietly spent the week putting "deviled egg energy" out into the Universe, hoping my lunch partner would suggest splitting them. Manifestation is real, people. I arrived around 12pm and found plenty of parking out back in Watershed's designated lot, which is clearly labeled--a good thing, because parking in that area looks like it could get competitive if you're not paying attention. We had made a 12:15pm reservation (Monday lunch felt safe, but why risk it?), and our table on the enclosed patio was ready when we arrived. It was the perfect setup--sunny and bright, but still warm enough to be comfortable on a chilly day. The vibe was great, and our server was even better--friendly, attentive, and consistently checking in without being overbearing. Then it was time to order. I let my lunch partner go first and waited... "Do you want to try the deviled eggs as an appetizer?" Are you kidding me?!. YES. Yes, I did! We ordered the deviled eggs ($11) to share, and I followed through with my Kale Caesar salad ($15) topped with seared salmon (+$13), officially completing my week-long menu-stalking mission. The deviled eggs came out FAST, and in my excitement, I completely forgot to take a picture--which tells you everything you need to know. Each egg was topped with a cube of candied bacon that absolutely stole the show. Sweet, savory, and just the right texture to complement the creamy filling. We made quick work of all four--excellent start to the meal! Not long after, our lunches arrived, and my salad? Gorgeous. Like, actually exciting to look at. I dug in immediately and it delivered. The mix of shaved brussels sprouts, kale, and romaine gave it great texture, the dressing was well-balanced, and the red onion didn't overpower the rest of the flavors. But my favorite part? The garlic parmesan crouton crumble. No chasing rogue croutons around the plate--just perfectly distributed crunch in every bite. Genius! The portion size was generous, too--I made it through about half before calling it and boxing the rest for dinner later. By the time we were wrapping up, the enclosed patio had filled up significantly, which tells me this is a popular lunch spot--and for good reason. The food is solid, the atmosphere is great, and the service was spot on. That said...$40 for deviled eggs, a salad and water is a bit steep for an everyday lunch. For me, this feels more like a "treat yourself," client meeting, or special occasion kind of place rather than a regular rotation spot. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I be casually popping in every week? Probably not. But those deviled eggs? Totally worth manifesting!

They…read moredid a great job with heaters outside and retracting canopy blinds to make the outdoor space work in large swaths of the year. The main challenge: the food on two orders was a real miss. The review for the Greek salad was that it was one of the worst tasting Greek salads my brother has ever had, despite the attempt at some flare with phyllo on top. My second salad was equally uninspired. We didn't bother with anything else admittedly so perhaps their salad game is just very very weak, or a bad day in the kitchen. Hard to say; but wouldn't be bothering with their food again compared to hunting around.

    The Review: Men in the Kitchen…read more My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!! It was a rainy Sunday, and I was working up a hunger while driving Uber for content. I went to three different spots before I finally found the place I should've gone to first. The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are so good that I want to find another establishment just like it, but so far--at least on this day--nothing in the area can beat it. I don't know why I treat this restaurant like a good wife that a man might constantly cheat on but always returns to. I'm not saying that I actually cheat; I'm just using that for context! So, I found myself once again at Two Men in the Kitchen. Since it was Easter Sunday, they offered a buffet or a special limited menu. There was fish and chicken wings available, and I chose the wings. Since I don't eat meat often, I asked for their "House Sauce," and it is by far amazing. I paired the wings with the 3-cheese baked mac & cheese and sweet potatoes. I went for the sides first because I wanted to save the best for last--I already knew that house sauce was going to be incredible, especially on the chicken and greens eggrolls they have. The mac & cheese was great; it had a crunchy outside yet remained soft in the middle, and the cheese pull was amazing. The sweet potatoes were definitely homemade; I could tell because every slice was a different cut, which I appreciate because it proves they didn't come out of a can. Now for the best part: the chicken wings. They were cooked perfectly--neither overdone nor underdone, with no pink on the inside. Everything was pure. I did happen to taste a little bit of Old Bay on the wings, so I asked the chef if that was part of the secret seasoning. He said no, so maybe someone slipped some in by accident, but it didn't stop me from indulging. I also ordered one of their house special drinks--a Hennessy and rum cocktail. It was a very pretty drink, but unfortunately, I am not a fan of Hennessy. Personally, I think it tastes like house keys or licking a brass knob when you're a kid. On my scale, the drink was a 2 out of 5; I just don't think rum and cognac should mix, but that's just my opinion. The atmosphere was amazing and the bathrooms were clean. I will definitely visit this place again and again, although sometimes it is hard to tell if they are open because of the heavily tinted windows. For those who know the area, this is the old firehouse in Harrisburg. I was told that on the weekends, they clear some tables to create a dance floor, which is a nice touch. There is plenty of bar seating and booths, making it a kid-friendly environment. The only thing I don't like--which applies to every restaurant on 2nd Street--is that it's very hard to find parking.

There is nothing about this place to set it apart from any of the others...except it is the closest to my house. A few drawbacks: -most of the breakfast meals came with homefries OR toast...not both.

The staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. Kid friendly menu + environment as well. We will definitely be back. Have you eaten there?!

    I really wanted to love this place after seeing rave reviews, but I left a bit disappointed! As a…read moresmall party of 2, we were seated promptly, and our drink order was taken right away. We were checked on frequently as we perused the menu, which was appreciated. Once we put in our order, we had a bit of a wait for the food to come out, even though it wasn't super busy inside, which was fine. We received the food on piping hot plates, and everything looked great. I had shrimp tacos and was surprised they weren't served in the traditional taco holder, as I'd seen in photos from reviews. They were served flat on the hot plate. All the ingredients and sauces on the tacos made the corn tortilla shell soggy, to the point where I couldn't pick up any of my three tacos at all and had to eat them with a fork and knife. Each taco had 2 grilled shrimp, which were delicious, but they really need to be plated differently or served as a double tortilla shell so you can actually eat them. It came with a side of black beans/pico, which I was SO excited about, but my side dish of beans was mostly juice and maybe only 3 forkfuls of actual beans. You're only given a fork and a knife in your silverware, so I couldn't even try to make the best of it. I would've asked for a spoon, but our server didn't check on us for refills or anything once the food was dropped off. I will say - my husband got the steak and egg bowl and it was DELICIOUS. The steak was so tender and juicy and perfectly cooked, as were the potatoes. I do think it was a smaller portion for the price, but we both loved his dish. I'd definitely come back for that. He finished eating before me because I was struggling to eat tacos with a fork, but we still waited a while after we finished to get a small box and our check. Overall, we'd maybe come back, but it seems hit-or-miss based on what you order and who your server is. One drink and two entrees were $50, so we'd likely choose another spot before stopping here again.

    I want to preface this with saying that this place used to be great. They had a seasonal menu…read more(still do) but almost anything you could order was really flavorful and yummy. We used to take the kids here, there was something for everybody and a fun atmosphere. Fast forward a few years and this place has really gone downhill. Three staff was all very young and seemed to be in a rush. OK - we can deal with that, although it wasn't even as crowded as usual on a Sunday night. We ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (which was listed under handhelds), with the "chilli mango coleslaw" option. We also had a pork belly sandwich and smash burger for our toddler. We weren't given an option to get that medium and wete told "it just comes one way" "because it's smashed". Other restaurants always ask you how you want your burgers even if it's listed as a smash but ok - I can also live with this. The last thing we ordered we a Buffalo chicken wedge salad to share. It ended up being our undoing for the evening and the straw that broke the camels back. The "Nashville" chicken sandwich was a greasy, thin slice of completely unseasoned chicken. It wasn't spicy like it said, it was pretty soft and soggy instead of crunchy, and was totally unsalted. It was worse than when I was doing no salt from a high bp diet post partum. :( the bread fell apart and was sopping wet... I guess from some pickles and lettuce on the bottom of the sandwich? It was anything but handheld and so I ended up just scraping what chicken off I could and leaving the rest. My "chili mango" coleslaw had no mango, no spice, and was just regular plain, unsalted cole slaw. I recieved 2 teaspoons of this in a plastic cup on the side and regretted not ordering the fries instead, which looked to be a good portion size on my husbands entreé. My food order was terrible overall. 0/10 My husband said he liked his sandwich. The fries were a 6/10 because they were crunchy but they were cold. Our kids menu smash burger was all grease, and came well done. Our kid ate a few fries and they were less greasy. 3/10 The worst part of the meal was the salad... The Buffalo chicken was tasty, but the whole salad was onions and sopping in dressing. We then found a black molded rotten tomato and honestly we were sick to our stomachs after that. Like I was insisting the salad at that point and ended up finding that but what else did we already eat that was just totally rotten ?? 2/10 only for the chicken salvaging the flavor for this dish. When we told the waitress that this was distressing, like we came out to get our of the house with our baby and this was the meal (so disappointing) she did not automatically offer to take the rotten salad off the bill. We asked her to please remove it, and to her credit she did so after putting us in an awkward position to have to ask at all. We liked that this place supports local artists. For that, 2 stars For these reasons though above we will not be back here for dinner. Sorry Evergrain, we will miss you!

    ..you know you haven't been eating right lately when your body tells you ' go get a salad for…read morelunch'...and that's exactly what it said today! So I thought it was time to revisit Vitality Bowls® - stopped in just after lunch hour & saw that the Supergreen Goddess Salad was still on the menu (nice balance of chicken, greens, eggs w/ avocado). I placed my order & sat at one of the 3 tables (I'm pretty sure the lion's share of business is to-go) - waited about a couple'a minutes for my made-to-order salad. When it came, it was just as good as previous visits, with everything fresh. Vitality is a good healthy choice nestled among all the nearby fast-food joints. They also have a selection of juices if that's your thing. I'll keep it in the dining rotation!

    Ordered carry-out tonight while in town for business. The restaurant was not very busy, so the…read moreservice was very quick. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. There are only a few tables, although none were occupied. The hummus and veggie appetizer was a huge disappointment. The hummus was tasty, but unfortunately the potion was only enough for about 1/3 of the veggies. The carrots and celery appeared to be a couple days old by the discoloration. The celery was impossible to dip in the hummus as it was chopped/sliced for a salad. Thankfully, the steak bowl was delicious and the right sized portion. All the ingredients were fresh and very flavorful. It was easy to distinguish between the different flavors. Not sure yet if I will give this place another visit.
