Top 12 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in in Harrisburg, PA

Joey cortes Went in for the first time and had an awesome experience. Corey helped me out and recommended the “Badaboom” sub—honestly the best sub I’ve ever had. Great flavor, fresh ingredients, and super filling. The service was friendly and laid-back, which made the whole visit even better. Definitely coming back here, and I’ll be asking Corey what else I should try next time!

Danae Bowman Food 12/10!!! I ordered oxtails, rice, and fried plantains with a lemonade as my beverage. The atmosphere is very welcoming, a really good date spot if you like to eat where there’s not a lot of people. Very affordable, super delicious, & large portions. Usually not busy so you can go in and get a nice hot fresh meal within 15 minutes or less. They also have plenty of seating, with unique light fixtures if you’re more of a dine-in kind of gal. If you don’t know what to try I recommend trying one of the empanadas with their special green house sauce.

Dj Jerome Had my birthday dinner here recently. Prime rib, veggies, Greek salad and a few tasty deserts. Aside from a rather simple preparation, the prime rib was plentiful and super tender. Service was fantastic.

Mario Yesquen Keystone Restaurant is the definition of a classic diner — right in the heart of downtown Harrisburg, just steps from the PA Capitol. This was a perfect breakfast stop on our way to Gettysburg. We went with some of the popular choices: the 3 eggs Western omelette with cheese and an English muffin on the side, biscuits smothered in sausage gravy, and of course, I couldn’t leave Pennsylvania without ordering scrapple (had to make my son try it too!). Portions were generous, everything hit the spot, and the service was super friendly. One of those places where you eat really well for a great price. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Harrisburg.

Ana Sofía U. Libby was a delight. Which made our birthday dinner truly special. The food, the drinks, and the ambiance 10/10. The gorgeous interior design, clean restrooms, well lit with fun booths to sit in and have conversations you can actually hear each other. Will come again!

Lindsay de Bien This was the perfect date night and I cant wait to take friends back. The Cuban food tastes just like what Mimi and Pop made at home! Next time, well dress a little nicer in summer casual. We felt underdressed coming from coaching soccer.

Michael Moore Great vibe and really lively place. Saturday night all the tables were full and everyone was really enjoying the place. Ordered a pizza and lasagna and both were really delicious. There are a few other items I’m looking forward to trying next time. Service at the bar was great and I liked their wine options. Great option for a date night or just fun night on the town with friends. Will definitely go back.

Justina Cruz Second Visit—Still Impressed! This was our second time dining at this restaurant our first visit was for dinner, and this time we came for brunch. Once again, it did not disappoint! The staff were warm and welcoming, the service was attentive, and the food was delicious. The drinks were also great. We especially loved the vibe relaxed and fun with R&B music playing in the background, which added the perfect touch to our experience. My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Its a fantastic spot for a Day Date. Highly recommend!

Gino N Food is delicious, but pricey. $18 for 2 tacos. The bottle of wine I bought had a 650% mark up. To be clear, the bottle of wine was $8 at a local state store. At Suba, it was $60. 650% of 8 is actually less than $60 ($52), so I was a bit generous to the owners in my original post. It was actually more than a 650% markup they asked for.

Adalia Henriques 10 out of 10 I went there yesterday because of the reviews and it was only a 10 min walk from me! The place was nice and cozy, the food took a minute but was sooooooo good I got the turkey wings plate the turkey was nice and tender 10/10, the mac and cheese was okay 7/10 , the green simple yet delicious 10/10, corn bread 10/10 and last but not least my favorite out of the whole meal the sweet potatoes!!1000/10 ! At first bite I wasnt sure if they were sweet but as I kept eating wow the sugar is like infused in the potatoes very good might go back and just order the sweet potatoes lol.

Lisa Zhang I wasnt expecting good food in Harrisburg but was pleasantly surprised. You can order dishes individually, but most people will get a platter, I got the pancit, squid, and chicken soup dish. All the proteins were tender and flavorful. I also ordered the lumpia and lechon which were crowd pleasers. The owner was nice enoug to check up on all of us and gave us free banana eggrolls which were perfectly cripsy and not too sweet. If Im ever in the area I would return. I also tried the coconut bun desserts which were bouncy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Interior is homey and welcoming.

Toni Stewart My husband and I had a great lunch here the other day. The food and service were great. Mike the chef and Grace our server were both very friendly and attentive. The only slight down side was that the air conditioning was a little cold for us old people. :D We will definitely visit again.
