“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.”
Oscar Wilde in A Woman of No Importance
In 2018, Harrisburg Magazine’s Simply the Best went digital. For the first time, voting would take place online rather than the paper ballot. The new method allowed results to be more precise and have more categories: 237 categories to be exact. When the results were released in the August 2018 issue, 728 winners were announced. Below are the winners for the Restaurants category. If you’re looking for a place to eat or drink, you’ll want to check out the Drinks & Nightlife and Food and groups. Click on any of the business names for more information about them. Don’t forget to check out the other 2018 Simply the Best Winners or check out a list of All 2018 Simply the Best Categories.
