Colonial Diner - Harrisburg

People are nice... food isn't bad it's also not great either....

The food came out luke warm. Great flavor but not hot enough. They were busy so I will take that as a good reason. Our waitress wouldn't even get one star. Amy was rude. We were sat at a table that actually rocked back and forth when we asked if she could do something about it she told us she didn't know. Fair enough then go ask someone else what can be done...didn't happen. I asked another waitress and she offered us to move to the next table which we did. We were eating and the people in the booth next to us left. Silverware were put on the table before it was wiped. Amy came over with her cloth and wiped around the silverware. I told another worker and he recleaned the table. Amy asked if we wanted more drinks my husband and I answered no but our friends were thinking about it she didn't give them a chance to answer and said again DRINKS!! When we paid I complained to the young man and he said ya sometimes she is in a bad mood Well then (Karen) I mean Amy you should stay home and not take it out on paying customers. Ok done venting...usually our experiences here are good ones. However today Amy happened!!!

Decided to stop and say Hi to one of my favorite servers Reene. Since this diner is only open from 5am to 2pm,it has been hard for us to stop. We each had an omelet....bacon omelet, cheese extra cost with homefries and toast. I had mushroom omelet,cheese extra cost with homefries and toast. I asked for lightly done homefries...did not get them done that way. Great coffee. Reene is a great server and even as busy as she was, was very attentive and friendly. Men's restroom was not very clean and the floor where we were sitting was in dire need of cleaning. There was a TV right near where we were sitting...turned up loud.. very annoying. At the checkout counter,there is a sign stating discount for cash..received no discount. Checkout person knew nothing about it.Probably will not go back.

Food was good, however the overall experience was very unpleasant. Went for a quick family breakfast, and felt very unwelcome. In addition to receiving the check seconds after recieving our food, their interactions with other customers was night in day in comparison. I'm not a negative person so maybe they were just having a bad day.

Wonderful, friendly staff, comfortable environment, and great food!
