Glass Lounge Restaurant

I would never have considered this place for dinner, but a local recommended it as a place for good food and good value. They were right. My food was cooked perfectly and there was more than I could eat. As a note, don’t be fooled by the lack of parking out front, there is plenty in the back.

Ok first time here. Had a party of seven. Steak was good. Salad was big. Everyone liked appetizers and meals. Our server Lori I think was very nice. The burgers looked good. I think I would go back.

I was here a few years ago & can’t believe all of the good reviews I’m reading here. For years, people have been telling me how amazing this restaurant was, & I have to disagree.
Worn carpet & aged décor greeted me as I walked inside, but I didn’t let that affect my opinion. My date encouraged me to order a nice expensive cut of steak & promised me it would be amazing. I couldn’t finish it. Not because it was a large portion-​which it was, but because it was served in a battered metal bowl in its own boiling broth. The mushrooms were boring & tasted like they came from a can & the steak was overcooked & it had literally been boiled. Steak shouldn’t be boiled.
Needless to say I was severely unimpressed & it was the worst steak I’ve ever eaten. I will not be back (& I broke up with that guy the next day. Maybe because of his bad taste in steaks)

My family and I were there last night. The service was great. My daughter and I had steaks they were cook perfectly and very tasty. My wife had a portable mushroom and crab cake also very delicious. Warning if you don’t like carrots you might want to ask for no carrots on the salad.

Food was better than average — our waitress was fantastic and made the meal great.
We will return again

Overall, this place was good. Looks like a dive inside and out, although that shouldn’t deter you. I felt like we took a trip back in time to the 70s or 80s, but the food was good and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend making reservations on a weekend. We didn’t and we waited forty minutes, which was not a big deal since we didn’t have our kids with us. The staff all seemed very friendly and they ran their butts off the entire time we were there. I had the scallops and my husband had a New York strip steak. My scallops were cooked well and there were quite a lot of them. I brought half of them home. He said his steak was fine but nothing out of this world. Both of our dinners came with salads which were extremely heavy on the shredded carrots. I am sure there were more carrots than there was lettuce on that plate. Service was great and I would definitely return.

Always more food than I can eat and prepared correct. Décor is aged but if your looking for a good steak and friendly service give this place a chance.

Celebrated a friend’s birthday here. The wings were good, I liked the wing dings even more. It’s said by friends this is the best place for a great steak, nothing beats it on either shore. They do serve alcohol. We shared a cheesecake for dessert it was amazing. I loved the hustle & bustle environment, that seems to be always crowded but great prompt service. I will be returning to try their famous steaks. I’ll keep in touch!

The Glass Lounge is a dive, but don’t they usually have the best food? This place has been around for years and I can’t say that I ever remember having anything bad to eat. Their crabcakes are some of the best I’ve ever had. Steaks are delicious and prepared perfectly — I always get the filet. You will not leave this place hungry! Service is good and the staff is friendly.

The Glass Lounge is our go to steak place in Harrisburg. We love the steaks here and they are huge, nicely seasoned and 3 for 3 on correct doneness.
The salads are fresh and the fries delicious Portions are very large. The ambiance reminds me of the movie roadhouse. It fills up quickly and gets loud. It’s a great place to get a steak and a beer.

Amazing huge steaks, great crab cakes, wonderful homemade blue cheese dressing– huge portions. Bring your appetite, you won’t go home hungry. Steaks here are their speciality ! 5 stars all around

Recommended by the hotel we’re staying at as a «great place to eat»??? We ordered steaks, salad & baked potato and I have to say the salad was the best out of the 3 items. The portions are BIG but absolutely NO flavor… I didn’t watch them cook the food but the steak tasted as if it had been BOILED, the potato has something like cheese-​wiz on it and the butter they brought for the potato was frozen. The restaurant appears to have a good volume of customers, which surprises me… maybe it was an off night, but this was hands down the worst steak I have ever had. We did take the uneaten steaks home with us, and we noticed just about everyone left with a box, doggie-​box to feed to the dogs!

Atmosphere and service — Nothing fancy, great customer service. The resturant had. Br area and a dining are. The dining area was not very large and can get pretty loud. Our server was very polite, friendly, and helpful. Awesome service. The bathroom was clean.
Food Quality — I am from out of town and was a little disappointed with this resturant. There were a lot, and by a lot I mean a lot, of choices and you definitely get a large quantity for what you pay. I got the crab sandwich, which was flavorful, but nothing to brag about. The chicken noodle soup was comparable to other restaurants. My co worker got the steak and was only able to finish half of the 27 oz beast! Overall, the food was good, I felt like I got my money worth, but it was nothing worth going out of the way for.
I am giving it 3 stars for average. An average resturant.

Kinda looks a bit rough, but the food & service were great!
Their steaks are fantastic!

Legendary doesn’t always mean great.
Wait staff were attentive and friendly. My friend ordered the Delmonico. His hands cramped up from sawing off the gristle. He poured A1 all over it because he said it has zero flavor. (He NEVER uses A1). 22 oz isnt such a super deal if only ½ of it is edible.
I got the mixed grilled platter. The chicken and pork were dry, flavorless and inedible. It didn’t help that they were swimming in a gallon of butter, either.
I give this place 3 stars because despite the awful chicken, pork and low quality Del, the shrimp and scallops were fantastic.
So basically, It’d rather spend $ 100 somewhere else.

After a 35 min wait for a table, I ordered a steak salad and my friend got the fried seafood platter. We waited a while again until our food finally arrived. Oddly, they give you a whole dressing bottle for your table — we got ranch and italian and honestly, i didn’t like either of them. The steak in my salad was juicy and cooked to the exact temperature I asked for (medium), and I love that it’s a «Pittsburgh» salad and comes with fries on top. However, the salad was a bit lacking — my friends said it would come with tons of carrots, but I only got a few (while my friend’s was loaded — luckily he was wiling to share). I also found a few limp and brown pieces of lettuce in mine.
Jason’s seafood platter was pretty good — the butterfly shrimp were huge and very crispy. The crab was succulent and contained no filler at all — AMAZING. Since my steak and onions were good, I would probably go back again when I’m in town. I’d skip the salad and go straight for a big steak though on my next visit.

I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries, which were both great and very filling. The ambiance was casual and while it took a little while for our food to come out, it was worth the wait. The fries especially were wonderful, much better than your average fry!

Friendly service, good ambience, great burgers! We were hoping for waterfront view, but we couldn’t really see the water through the trees.

Came back for some beer and burgers. My tab was $ 12.05. I threw in a 5 dollar tips. When I got my MasterCard bill, this place charged me $ 27.10.
Maybe they’re crooks, maybe they made a mistake. Either way, you mess with my wallet, you lose me.

This is a roadhouse-​sorta joint on the banks of the Susquehanna in Harrisburg. It looks like a seedy bar which over the years has extruded various shabby rooms filled with big, hungry locals looking for meat and plenty of it. At 6pm on a Saturday it was hugely crowded and conversation was definitely at the shouting level, Despite a reservation, our party of 8 was split into two tables.
I ordered a porterhouse steak which as promised was over 20 oz. it was delivered in a battered old metal plate and was swimming in maybe a cup of melted butter. It wasn’t perhaps the best steak I ever had, but it was edible and frickin huge. At 22 bucks it was quite reasonably priced. The salad was big and fresh and loaded with blue cheese. The fries were adequate. The beer was icy cold.
Overall it was an enjoyable if unrefined experience. I’d recommend it if you want inexpensive huge-​ass chunks o’ meat, but not if you’re looking for haut cuisine or an intimate evening with a debutant.
