Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Decent place to have a couple beers but the food is overpriced and just OK. They served us undercooked scrapple which is just plain nasty.

Great food, quiet atmosphere, and the price was comparable to any restaurant of that size. Our waitress (I think her name was Laura) was very nice & checked back with us often.

To understand the Wooden Nickel, one must understand Millersburgers. These people are every bit as redneck as the rest of upper Dauphin County, but they think they're hoity-toity, as if their dumb little ferry ( yelp.com/biz/millersburg… ) gives them some air of superiority. The guy who owns the Wooden Nickel knows his audience and he gives them what they want. He's built a very successful business because of that. You will never find anything exotic or spicy on the menu at the Nickel. They're not flying in special ingredients from parts unknown, they serve meat & potatoes and they do it pretty well. The menu is pretty varied, a lot of red meat and chicken. Anything off the Specials menu will be good. They know how to steam broccoli to just the perfect point. The burgers are good and they serve Martin's potato chips with their sandwiches. Their pizza is actually really good and may be the best thing on the menu. The restaurant is clean and nicely appointed - let's call it "Upper Dauphin Upscale". The Manager seems pretty on the ball and you don't often see the help (mostly teenagers) standing around doing nothing. Food is served hot and properly prepared, I can't recall ever sending anything back. The bar staff is also generally prompt and friendly but, despite the full bar, does not have a wine list. You're stuck with whatever is in the jug. I sincerely doubt that the wine selection plays any role in the menu. The thing that impresses me the most about the Wooden Nickel is their open kitchen door. You don't really notice it unless you sit at the bar, but I think it really takes balls to have your kitchen open for the public to see like that. You can look back there and see that the kitchen is every bit as clean and orderly as the front of the restaurant. The cooks are all wearing proper garb and look clean. I've been in restaurant kitchens and I know they often look quite dissimilar to the front of the house and can be simply nauseating. I'm very fond of the Wooden Nickel. It was the closest thing to civilization for me as I was doing time, er... living, in Upper Dauphin County. I think it's the only place with a liquor license north of Peter's Mountain that doesn't have a wormhole to Kentucky in the front door. They sling an excellent martini. If they would be a bit more imaginative in their menu, they'd easily earn a fourth star.

Good food, cheap. Reasonable portions. Staple menu.

I've been here twice recently for lunch. The first time was with a group of 20. We called ahead and they had saved 6 tables close together in the same area for us. I prefer that to one long table. We had 3 waitresses for our group, a good ratio i think. I had a Ruben and it was delicious. I went back again yesterday (Labor Day) with my wife. She had broiled rainbow trout, which she said was yummy. I had a broiled crabcake which was also very good. It had big chunks of crab, little filler and was nicely spiced. The veggies were cooked "tender crisp", perfect in my opinion. With tax and tip the check was less than $40. The service was good on both occasions. I'll be back the next time i'm in town.

The wooden nickel defines mediocrity. There is nothing particularly exciting or offensive about it. Sort of the dining equivalent to watering plants. There are a couple of standout items. Anything I have had with a pita has been solid - the chicken one with salsa, ranch and bacon...the pork medallion pita with BBQ sauce...the gyros. Dinners have been Ok. The prime rib was pretty good, the sirloin tips with shrooms and onions decent. The Italian food kind of sucks. The meatball sub gave me serious ajita - meatloaf balls overloaded with onions. Pretty terrible. The pizza is passable for what it is - a personal pan pizza that keeps the grease quotient in check. Tastes decent. The service is pretty good and the atmosphere is comfortable. There are worse places out there. And better ones too.

Very good! I had the jumbo shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and my husband had steak and a crabcake. Both entrees came with potato, salad, and a vegetable so it was a lot of food for the money. The crabcake had very little filling and was very tasty. Our server was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

We planned to eat at Williams French Fry stand, but it was just too cold to eat outside, and we didn't want to eat in our car.. so even though the reviews here were iffy, we decided to try the Wooden Nickel. I'm so glad we did! The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was really good. The place is clean, has nice big windows where you can look out on the town square, and several vantage points where you can see the entire kitchen. As another reviewer mentioned, that is impressive. I had a chicken gyro that was really, really good. It came with potato chips and a pickle, and was a lot of food. We ate here as a late lunch, and ended up skipping supper completely. My husband had a hamburger, and ordered a side of onion rings. They asked how he would like his hamburger cooked, and it came just as he ordered. The onion rings were thick sliced and well cooked in a batter coating, not the crumbly breading type. Very good. Had we had our four teenagers along with us, this would have been an expensive place to eat. For my husband and me alone, our bill was $25, before tip. We'd spend the about the same amount at a big chain to eat, and we prefer to support small businesses instead, so this was acceptable for us. The only cost that bothered me was $1.65 for a cup of black coffee. That seems pretty high. The menu is extensive. I was surprised to see so many options. The table across from us had scallops and the woman commented frequently on how good they were. There were quite a few full tables, at 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon. It is not a fancy place. We were dressed for a hockey game, and dressed appropriately to eat here. Jeans. This is some place we're likely to stop again if we are passing through.

My family and I came in tonight for St. Patricks day specially for the corn beef and cabbage special. The food was disgusting. It was soup basically. The corned beef was cut in cubes and had no flavor. My son ordered a burger and asked for ketchup that didn't arrive till he was half way done eating only after I had to get up and chase down the waitress and ask again for it. After eating my flavorless soupy meal That in no way filled me up I asked for seconds. This took even longer to arrive than the first time we ordered which was an eternity all together. The second bowl that arrived was even worse than the first. There wasn't even any meat in it. Just water and some cabbage run off. Horrible service. There was only one waitress for the entire dinning room and was completely stressed out with a bad attitude. The other 4 people working we're doing nothing but standing around not even caring or helping the poor girl. It wasn't even that busy. When I had to chase my waitress down to get our check she was annoyed and couldn't be bothered with getting me the check to pay. She also didn't even have a pen for me to sign my receipt which if your a waitress that is your number one tool that you need in order to do your job. As I was getting ready to leave I mentioned to one of the people working that was just standing there doing nothing the entire time we were there that our food was horrible and she didn't even care. She actually was quite irritated that I even was talking to her or talking about my service she didn't even apologize and told me she would let somebody know. My family comes here on a weekly basis and the service has always been a little hit or miss depending on who is working. We have spent many dollars in this establishment and have never received as horrible service tonight on any other visit. It seems the last few months every time we go in the service is worse and worse and the food tastes worse and worse. I think this adorable spot in town has seen its last days unless they do some serious turning around and fixing their menu this place is probably not going to continue to do well if it even does now we may decide not come back again. I work very hard for the money that I have and have no desire to spend it in a place that doesn't even care about their customers.

Came here for dinner while visiting a friend in nearby Elizabethville. It's a comfortable, family-friendly establishment, and the menu had a little bit of everything. Had the Chicken Parm, and it was decent. Service was friendly and courteous. Be on the lookout for the Indian statue near the pinball machine while heading to the restroom!

I just spent nearly $30 on a club sandwich and a shrimp basket here. The food was good, but not worth what I paid for it. Plus, the fries were definitely not fresh. Waitress was okay, but she never got us any drink re-fills. It was very dark in there, and almost depressing. I think maybe this place would only be worth it if you wanted dinner entrees. I probably won't go back. Wayne's Fairview Inn is way better!

If all you want is a no nonsense straight forward burger, or pizza, the you have found your joint/ bar. While it may be the best place in the area, that is not saying much. Service is slow, the food is basic, and the attitude of the staff is indifferent. If you do not want to drive to Harrisburg, and you have nothing to eat at home, then the Wooden Nickle is unfortunately your best choice.

We tried somewhere new the food was good, the service was acceptable and friendly. We had lunch it was a little pricey but the atmosphere was nice. I would recommend this place!

Fairly decent family style restaurant with sandwiches as well as other entrees. We had burgers, pizza, and a gyro, which were all pretty good. The place has a nice ambience and is right on the square.

Been here once. Not gone back. Prices are way too expensive for this place and your meal. Crab cakes had more filling and a hint of crab. Hubby had a seafood platter which was "ok". We have had better, won't go back
(2)Linda T.
We have eaten here several times and it's always excellent. I'd give it 5 stars but it is a bit pricey. The portions are huge, the staff attentive but best of all, the food tastes great. This time my husband had chopped steak and I had the beef tips over stuffing. It was delicious! We enjoyed people watching from the huge windows. I'm not understanding how some reviews weren't glowing unless they were expecting a fast food experience. However if you enjoy DINING then I highly recommend The Wooden Nickle.

Our waitress was extremely kind and made our group of three's dining experience very enjoyable. There is a huge menu and a very wide selection of food. The main entree dishes are not huge, but the sides they come with are enough to fill you up. Salad, potato, vegetables, etc. are all available sides. This restaurant is definitely worth checking out and there is even a bar and pool tables as well.
