“ We decided to stop at Skeeter's and have lunch during a recent family trip. Not being from the area we didn't know what to expect but figured BBQ was a pretty safe bet and wanted to try a local restaurant. We were so glad we did! What a treat! First the views--the restaurant sits high atop a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River with floor to ceiling windows giving a breathtaking view! We ate inside but they also have a deck as well. The food was AMAZING! The kids had the ribs and wings and couldn't stop raving about them. My wife and I tried them and both agreed that they were some of the best we've ever had! I had the brisket--so tender with amazing flavor. My wife had the sliders and mac n cheese bites and loved them. Topping everything off was the awesome service (A+). Very pleasant and attentive like they really enjoyed working there. All in all an awesome experience and amazing BBQ (we're from Texas and know good BBQ!). If I could give it 10 stars I would. Next time you find yourself driving through central PA or lucky enough to live nearby do yourself a favor and stop at Skeeter's! ”

“ I've driven passed here so many times and always wanted to stop. My husband and I were thinking about lunch on Friday and decided to check it out. We both enjoyed the brisket. The horseradish sauce was perfect. The coleslaw and corn muffins were perfect sides. The view from the restaurant was amazing! Love the outdoor dog friendly dining option. ”
“ The location and view makes this place worth the visit if you're looking something quick and easy, no doubt about it. It's gorgeous up there, either sitting inside or on the ample outside seating area. Service was very good, happy friendly young people who seemed to like/care about their job. Food wasn't amazing, but serviceable for bbq. I didn't think the pork sandwich had much smoke to it, no hickory etc, and it didn't have any of the good crunchy bits from a good bark. I didn't particularly like the heavy bun the pork was on, either, as it took away from the sandwich, but my wife liked it so there ya go. The wings were pretty good. I would revisit just for the patio and ambiance. Would be GREAT if they had live music out there. Also, if the owner ever reads this, ditch the 16oz cup coozies for cab coozies! ”
“ From the view, to the BBQ... Skeeters has it on lockdown. My second time being here, I decided to get the smoked wings. They came out piping hot, crispy, and Juicy!!! They came with a bbq sauce on them that was tasty, as well as battered french fries (would have preferred fresh cut fries) but were good nonetheless. The bbq sauce that was at the table seemed different than what was on the wings (the one on the table tasted better). I wish they had more sauce choices, and also a little bit bigger of a menu with different options. Overall, I would give it a 4.4/5. **Great service as well, food came out quick!! ** ”
“ Hands down, one of the best lunch spots in the area to take a parent or a child. Think Mission BBQ but with a fairly decent and reasonably priced (I know my Harrisburg Elites will get it!) beer selection on tap. I reached out for the Mediterranean selection which was a mere special at the moment. It entailed fresh pulled chicken with a Green salad wrapped and served warm rather quickly (and cheerfully!) in a tortilla wrap. I almost reached out for the ribs and shrimp, but THAT shrimp is fried. This is BBQ at its best, so no corners cut. Vegetarians though do have options. Maybe vegans too....but I haven't followed cooking styles closely and what kind of oil they use to cook the vegetables in. Sawryyy to let those readers down. Easy to find, indoor and outdoor parking with beautiful views of the Susquehanna River right behind the boat launch... yahoo! ”
