The Hotel also served the bustling railway station and the Millersburg Ferry.

This is really more of a local hang out for the older crowd. They have a well stocked bar if you want a drink, but the menu is page after page and I think they struggle to execute things well. The calamari was overdone and the wings burnt. Seems like they just have too much going on to really make wow great food. The inside is very old school, wood and stained glass. I'm sure it's all original to the building and is a neat feature.

Located in the town square. We were greeted immediately and enthusiastically; nice seating inside. We chose to sit at the spacious bar. Wide variety of menu choices. The crab cakes were generous portions and delicious; the fried haddock was fried perfectly and also generous portion with salad and 2 vegetables. Well stocked bar and bartender served good drinks.

This place used to be great. Friday night 5:30 pm we were 1 of 4 tables.
Hostess was horrible. Yelled across the room rather than come to greet us.
Server was great.
Salad was large and fresh. Dressing homemade.
Delmonico steak was thin and overcooked. Ordered med rare. Second steak was overcooked as well. Brussels were good. Mashed were good.
Prime rib. Ordered rare. First was well. Second literally was taken out of fridge and served. Ice cold. Third was well. No seasoning. Gave up. Corn was canned and not seasoned.
Server told us there were only 3 servers left and she had turned in her

We came in a little Leary because of the reviews but we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately they were right. The wait was pleasant but very slow in getting our orders. And the place was not even full. I believe they forgot our orders because we waited so long for it to arrive. My chicken wings were burnt like it was quickly reheated on the grill and my friend's food was microwaved to reheat. His was filet mignon, which was ruined after microwaved. It was supposed to be medium rare. Now it looked like brown spoiled meat. He retuned his because we refused to pay over priced $30 for that

Great food reasonably priced. Waitstaff went above and beyond their duties with all patrons. Large selection of food and daily specials. They carry dessert tray for selection. This is an amazing place and beautiful restaurant in a quaint town. We ordered their deep dish house special that was out of this world.

Walked into the nickel, stood for at least 5 minutes being ignored. Even though the sign said wait to be seated we questioned to a woman at the bar if we should seat ourselves. She was a very rude woman and informed us that they were closing in 1 hour and that we wouldn't be able to order any hot food because the grill was now off. While I understand having to close and clean the restaurant this person was quite rude. We were trying to support a local business but won't be back again. Good luck staying open if that's the way potential customers are treated.

Very disappointing. The wife and I had been talking about visiting this place for awhile. I ignored past yelpers and thought we'd give the 3 star restaurant a shot but we should have one listened! The menu looks splendid so many great looking options, tons of seafood, steak and a variety of almost everything. Once out into practice though it fell way short. My wife ordered broiled shrimp and scallops, overcooked and flavorless. My son got fettichini alfredo with shrimp, the alfredo sauce was horribly bland and the shrimp overcooked again. I ordered a steak and it was just ok. All in all after

Not much to say here,there's not much around this little farm town so if your the only game in town you can serve just basic food that's mostly comfort food, but they would never make it if there was real restaurants around.
It's clean and the staff is very friendly in a great location, has s full bar also, but the food is average at best, salads are nothing but iceberg lettuce with no greens in it, the vegetables are way over cooked , but this works for some people so who am I to judge, just a heads up for you yelpers when your in the area and hungry, if your a foodie just keep

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

Great service. That's the end of the positive.
The menu is boring,predictable and overpriced.
The portions leave you wanting to walk across the street (either way) to grab a burger to actually fill you up.
Save yourself the money and hit up ANY other restaurant in the area. Your experience will cost less,and will not leave you feeling like you were just robbed.

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

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 (http://www.yelp.com/biz/millersburg-ferry-millersburg#hrid:ech0ANcy7dBC723eOTHq1Q/query:ferry) 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
