Restaurant Round-Up: Gilligan’s, Macaroni Grill & Nonna’s
Monday, December 22, 2008 4:44PM
With the possible exception of Sunday dinner, dinner on Friday might be the most important meal of the week. Think about it. You get home from work; you probably don't feel like cooking, so you decide to go out. You know that everyone else feels the same way, so you try to decide where you want to go and make a reservation if the place takes them. Now you're hungry. You're trying to forget about the stress of the work week. Really, nothing gets the weekend off to a worse start than a crappy dining experience. There's no doubt that Friday night's dinner is my favorite meal of the week. This week in Restaurant Round-Up, Fran, Jim and Lily all talk about their dinners from last Friday. Fran went for a relaxed meal at Gilligan's, Jim for pasta at Macaroni Grill and Lily found a new favorite in Nonna's. The only Christmas present we really need are your comments. Full Article » -
Restaurant Round-Up: Market Cross Pub, Shab’s Pita Stroller & Juliana’s
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 2:35PM
Sometimes we try to put together little themes for Restaurant Round-Up. Not this week. This week we've got English pub food, Lebanese and Italian all jammed into one post. Better that than all jammed into one stomach, because that's an unholy combination that sounds like it would overthrow even the most iron-clad of stomachs. This week in the Round-Up, I keep it simple at Market Cross Pub in Carlisle, Jason writes about eating weird veggie stuff at Shab's and Lily tries out Juliana's. Comments are always appreciated.

Restaurant Round-Up: Pizza Grille, Schiano’s Italian Restaurant & Rock Bass Grill
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 2:18PMNot too many people in Central Pennsylvania have a bad word to say about the Pizza Grille. The place has won about every applicable award an area restaurant can win (scant few), and has gotten nothing but effusive praise from the local media. This week in the Restaurant Round-Up, Spotobe contributor Jim writes about an underwhelming visit. Has anyone else been lately? Did Jim catch them on an off night or has the Pizza Grille become slightly overrated? Also this week in the Round-Up, Lily gives Rock Bass Grill a tepid recommendation and Madeline writes about about a local favorite in Northern Dauphin County. As always, feel free to leave us your thoughts below. Full Article »

Restaurant Round-Up: Neato Burrito, Chipotle & Moe’s Southwest Grill
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:46PM
We're doing things a little bit differently this week. Spotobe headquarters is choc-full of Neato Burrito devotees, and regular contributor Lily wrote about it in the normal Restaurant Round-Up fashion. But instead of including two more reviews, this week, we're rounding out the Round-Up with an essay of sorts about the merits of Neato as compared to Chipotle and Moe's Southwest Grill. Moe's has two locations in the area, but Chipotle has yet to infiltrate Central Pennsylvania. It has, however, developed an absolutely rabid fan base. If you don't believe me, check out this story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by a friend of mine who drove more than four hours round-trip from Pittsburgh to Kent, Ohio for a burrito. Crazy. As always, we'd love to hear from you, so leave comments. Full Article » -
Restaurant Round-Up: Hummelstown House, T. Brendan O’Reilly’s & Texas Roadhouse
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 1:30PM
I love introducing people to new things. I get a huge kick out of a friend digging a band he first heard through me or frequenting a restaurant or bar that I turned him or her on to. Well, Spotobe contributor Fran gets that pleasure this week. He went to the Hummelstown House for brunch on Sunday and was so impressed by it, that his description literally made me toss my Subway turkey sub in the trash in disgust. Read his description and tell me you don't feel the same way. Also this week on the Round-Up, Katie gets corned beef and cabbage (really?) at T. Brendan O'Reilly's and Lily enjoys a stuffed sweet potato and some line dancing at Texas Roadhouse. Comments? Full Article » -
Restaurant Round-Up: Garrason’s, Sandwich Man and Nino’s Bistro
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 10:30AM
The Round-Up took a break last week to make way for our Messiah College Q&A, but it's back and better than ever (we hope). Some interesting selections this week. Lily writes about what has earned Garrason's Tavern such a loyal group of regulars, Dori weighs in on the salads and service she gets at the Sandwich Man and I give my account of my first experience of Nino's Bistro in Camp Hill.
As always, if you agree, disagree or have something to add to what we said about any of these fine establishments, feel free to leave some feedback in the comments section. Full Article »
