Great service and atmosphere, especially with how busy they were. Salad was a surprise! Personally, I had to remove a lot of... the carrots and didn?t expect it to come out so packed, but everything was fresh and delicious. The steak was solid and; onceagain, the service was top notch. Glad this place was recommended and that we stopped in. Left stuffed and highly satisfied. Read more
Fantastic visit! Everyone we had the pleasure of speaking with were so friendly and inviting. Our server was amazing and made... some great recommendations. This is one of my husband's favorite restaurants but I was more hesitant before this visit. Now, Iwill not question his selection of where do we eat the next time he suggests it. Read more
Stopped in here on a Saturday night after seeing the reviews. We ordered a steak and the baked seafood platter. Both came with... side salads - a pile of shredded carrots on top which was fine with me. The steak was huge. I don?t eat beef so I can?t say ifthat was good or not but my man seemed to enjoy it. The fish was good. The shrimp were a little over done. I wasn?t a fan of thecrab cake. The fries and broccoli were fine. Not a bad mean and prices where good considering the tremendous amount of food wegot. The server was was pleasant. It is a bit dark and dreary in the dining area, if I would go again I?d try sitting at thebar. Read more
This place has been around for decades and known for its steak. We arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday. We waited for about 15... minutes.. Some groups came in after us and had reservations. Out server was super efficient and friendly. We ordered onionpetals as our appetizer. Two of us ordered 6 oz tenderloins with baked potatoes and side salads. Their salads are quite largecompared to other restaurants. Someone also ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. All were very good. Read more
This was our first visit, and we enjoyed ourselves. "Tavern" for central Pennsylvania is the best way to describe it for locals.... It is a casual bar that apparently does a good food business. Long time employees work there and are pleasant. Promoted as a"Steak House" it has advantages compared to your typical "steak house" corporate restaurant. I ordered two entrees Filet Mignon& Lobster and Sea Scallops, my wife ordered the 24 ounce Super Sirloin. Steak was prepared adequately. Prices for quantity offood seemed generous. As one typically will not have an option for a 24 ounce sirloin in any of the local chain's. They do havea few quirky things like their "salad". It basically is a bed of lettuce and a couple pounds of shredded carrots. I did find apiece of green pepper in mine, but hardly an item to brag about. Every other steak house within 30 miles, would have a bettersalad. My baked potato was cold and undercooked, I figured I would take it home and cook it some more. Another quirk wasordering Blue Cheese dressing was a $1.50 up charge, which is ok, but then they brought a dish of dressing that was enough I'mthinking for 10 salad's. I ordered shrimp cocktail which were large and tasty, but $12+ for 4 large shrimp seemed high. Waitresswas pleasant, but was not a five star server. Never stopped back to see if the 9 steaks delivered to our table and guests wereok. My major "beef" is I like a steak cooked over a flame grill so as to have a charcoal like taste. Not unlike a TexasRoadhouse. Maybe they use a broiler, but I suspect steaks were prepared on a flat skillet. So I enjoyed my steak but I have hadbetter. So don't expect a New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore high end steak experience. But, to be fair, you will get a lot toeat, for a very reasonable price. For central Pennsylvania this place is probably a pretty big deal. I really suspect this isgood place for lunch as in a hamburger and a beer. One must adjust their expectations, what with so many Read more
This was the first visit for my boyfriend and I. I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant so I decided to have my... birthday meal here. The food was great, portions were Karen, staff was friendly, and I got a free cheesecake for a birthdaytreat. I will definitely come back. Read more
The moment you walk in, you know you have found a special place! Cheryl, the bartender (I hope I got her name right!) was... outstanding in making my wife and I feel welcomed at this local spot. She was very helpful in recommending Glass Loungespecialities (steak!) and served great drinks! Moments later we were escorted to our table (there was a line of people waitingto get in?but as we were just 2 it was only a 10 minute wait on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. Bill was ourserver - and again - another very personable, welcoming and helpful individual - despite the fact that he was very busy! Weboth had the Saturday special menu items ( 6 oz tenderloin and I had it with shrimp and my wife had the crab cake). The steakwas cooked and seasoned to perfection. My wife raved about the crab cake (heavy on crab meat and very little stuffing, as itshould be!). I made out a point to speak to the owner on our way out to tell her how pleased we were with the food and service. If in or near Harrisburg, please try Glass Lounge! Highly recommended! Read more
