Coakley's is overpriced and the food is pretty poor. It's typical bar food with zero flavor and originality. I even tried the special of Crab Capellini thinking it could be good but it was overcooked pasta with very little sauce, a small portion of crab and vegetables. Definitely not worth $18.

We used to come here all the time, (It Was on My List~~~ of Top 5 Places to Go!!) then we were here on Sunday...maybe, it was because it was a Sunday or the Roads outside...which, are quite disgusting. But, I don't get it...we had Lousy Service!! No one was there, But, Us! The bartender, who waited on us, was... More

Stopped by for a late lunch on the 16th and was pleasantly surprised. The burger I ordered was awesome. Vast improvement. We also visited in January and had the steak and lobster special, really good....and Tim talked me into dessert which was really good...........kudos on your improvements.

Went here for Easter dinner with the family. Service was excellent, food was excellent, large portion sizes. My daughter got the surf and turf, it came with 2 full size lobster tails and steak, didn't know how they could of made any money off of such a large portion size but was very pleased with the overall experience.

Waited for a table for over an hour. Other patrons sitting drinking water only. Tried to go to bar to order drinks, yelled at by "security" that we could not stand at the bar to order. Food was blah.

We enjoyed our dinner and there were even Irish dancers there to give us a little show. The food was good, not amazing, but good some dishes better than others. Unfortunately they took my favorite dish off the menu and so I have been struggling trying to find something I like to replace it. Atmosphere very nice and cozy. Service... More

But great drinks, great bartenders, nice, homey atmosphere and some nice Guiness and Jameson's always hits the spot... OK, maybe not so much Jameson, but Guiness for sure!

Coakley's is one of the mainstay restaurants in New Cumberland. The various rooms are very interesting to sit in -- warming atmosphere and fun to look around. The food is of very high quality, basic American food and a great menu. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the greater Harrisburg area.

It doesn't matter what you eat the cheesy crab dip on......it's delicious! I eat it on the soft pretzel, dip the bread in it, scoop it up with the home made chips and even have it put on a juicy chicken breast. My favorite place to eat is it in the room with the fireplace. It is such a relaxing... More

My kids go to Coakley's on a regular basis and have always had a good time, so the wife and I decided to check them out. The building is divided into two halves, as the name implies; bar on one side, restaurant on the other. We sat in the restaurant side and found it cozy and intimate. The crab dip... More
