Appalachian Brewing Company - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

First time there tonight. They were extremely short staffed. One server and one bartender. I waited over a half an hour sitting at the bar until I finally was able to place order (it was a Wednesday evening). It was frustrating at first, but the quality of the food and the personality of the bartender was enough for me to rate it higher. Management needs to figure out what to do about staffing. To the employees that worked tonight- kudos to you. You're what keeps the place running and worth going to. I would be comfortable going back, but I'm hoping by then there are more people working.

Not being staffed is not only a disservice to your customers, but more so a disservice to the people who do show up. The added level of stress and responsibility is not fair to anyone. I didn't want to rate lower than 5* because this place has so much potential, but they need to focus on fixing a few things.

Meet up for Backcountry Hunters & Anglers informal Pint Night during Great American Outdoor Show. Been there several times and enjoy the atmosphere every time.

No wings available...sold out.

Food fresh. Not a beer drinker, but there are some other options. I had an orange-cranberry sangria. Prices are higher, but you taste the difference. There are some Happy Hour Specials 4 pm - 6 pm, but some items were sold out. Was a wait due to limited staff, but conversation with BHA made the time go by.

I came here late one night for a bite to eat while on a business trip. Really enjoyed the character of the building and the atmosphere inside. The drinks and food, especially my burger, was awesome! The sauce that came with the fries was super good too! Highly recommend visiting here if you have not been.

(Mechanicsburg location)Wedge salad was 1/4 of a tiny head of iceberg. Presentation was awful and salad was warm. Cold wings had a drop of sauce, asked for more, never came. Waitress came to table ONCE. Grilled romaine salad was half of a head, with minimal grill marks. Ceasars dressing great. Grilled chicken great. Atmosphere great. We paid way too much money for the quality/portion of food we were served and the poor service. 🙁

Great lunch experience here. Bartender was super helpful and friendly. Chicken Caesar salad was great. Beers were solid - the Sigma Oasis was my favorite. First brewery ever to give me a tiny ginger beer glass to “cleanse the palate” between beers. I dig the design of the taster glasses too.

Only negative is that it seemed a little sketchy walking here from downtown in mid-afternoon. Wouldn’t do it alone at night, even as a relatively large adult male.

Great service, fabulous food and friendly staff.
I strongly recommend the Mile High Meatloaf, Pierogies and the Elephant Ear Dessert. My only dislike is the diet soda, the taste of stevia is a bit strong.

Great place for lunch or a quick beer when in the PA capital city. Spacious interior, pleasant atmosphere and tasty, reasonably priced food make this a great spot to take friends and family. Not as many beer offerings as many of the other local breweries and most of those are IPAs but what they do offer are fresh and delicious. Definitely would return.

Awesome spot. They have great selection of locally brewed beer and I think they also have a distillery there so you can order cocktails with their rum, vodka, bourbon, etc.

I’ve ordered sour beer, and my wife had Scottish ale. Both were good. We also had The Original Harrisburger and Rockfish Tacos. Pretty tasty although I would’ve included some additional ingredients in the tacos. We also had maple bacon cheesecake for dessert. I know it sounds like a weird combination but it was yummy! Staff was very nice and welcoming.
