Center Street Grille — Restaurant in Enola

A general everyday eating establishment with a bar.

It's kind of a 50/50 type setup, half full bar / half restaurant. It has a full bar, hightops, and sports showing on some TVs. Then there's a partial separation wall. There's glass on the top with a standard wood wall on the lower section, pass through openings at either end. You can see and moderately hear the bar in the restaurant section. The resturant has mostly 2-4 seat tables, and a few 5-8 seat tables. 20 or so tables in total. Nothing spectacular on the seating arrangements and no barriers between tables. It's not overly crowded, but they are maximizing every available piece of usable space. In the restaurant the noise is moderate, though conversations are usually heard without great effort. The restaurant staff is usually pleasant and professional working in a cohesive manor to meet customers expectations. Reservations are highly recommended. Plenty of parking. Can't say it's an overly kid (younger than 8-12ish) friendly establishment due to the table spacing and lack of barriers between them... though there is usually at least one table with kids each time we've been.

The food... there are some outstanding menu items (meatloaf, side salads, brussel sprouts, and wings are just some of the highlights... along with your favorite drink from the bar) and some just so-so or dont try items (duck burger - no, inconsistent fries, risotto is a no, salmon / fish is inconsistent). The restaurant usually has a few specials of the day that can be a good choice. The wing menu is a highlight of this establishment. They have a varied sauce menu with the customary wet and dry standards and favorites, and they are ever developing and trying new flavor combinations. The food overall can be great... and it can be just so-so and flavorless. Presentation is usually good. We've eaten here now about six to eight times and had a mix bag.

This establishment seems to be a place where local folks come to because they're familiar with the experience and know how to best navigate the menu to get their usual favorites. It's an OK experience. That may sound kinda negative... but sometimes OK is just what you need. Can't say I'd recommend this place as a first date or a quite evening with that special some one.

Give it a try... hopefully your experience will be great. You can tell that no matter the inconsistencies in our experiences... they are putting forth the effort to try and meet the needs of their community. For that they get my respect and continued support. I hope for their...

A Wing Lover’s Dream: CSG Delivers Award-Winning Flavor

During a recent trip from Maine to visit friends in Pennsylvania, I stumbled upon an unassuming gem: CSG. As a self-proclaimed wing connoisseur with experience at iconic spots like the Anchor Bar and Duff's, I’ve tasted everything from the hottest to the mildest wings out there. But nothing quite prepared me for the magic Chef Matt is crafting at CSG.

Tucked away behind a modest exterior, CSG houses something extraordinary. In fact, their "Medium" Buffalo wing took first place nationally at the 2024 annual wing competition at Anchor Bar and Grill—and after tasting it, I can confidently say the judges got it right. The perfectly cooked wing, paired with a balanced, familiar-yet-unique flavor, was nothing short of mind-blowing.

Since it was a Wednesday, I opted for the "Wing Flight"—12 wings featuring six chef-selected flavors, presented on a tray with labels to keep track of the lineup. Here’s the breakdown:

Unagi – A taste of the Orient and my personal favorite. Incredibly savory with a depth of flavor that left me wanting more. Pepperoni Ranch – A close second. The fusion of salty pepperoni and creamy ranch was out of this world. Bang Bang – Mild but distinctive, with a satisfying wet texture. A solid third place. Golden Mustard BBQ – Smoky, sweet, and just the right amount of spice. This came in fourth but was still a standout. Pho Dust – A well-balanced dry rub with rich flavor, though slightly salty for my taste. Still, a great wing.

And then, of course, there’s that award-winning "Medium"—in a class of its own and absolutely deserving of the national crown.

We visit PA once or twice a year, and CSG is officially on our must-stop list from now on. If you consider yourself a wing lover—or even if you don't—this place is worth the trip. Chef Matt and his team are redefining what great...

This is an update to my previous review. We came in tonight for dinner because we wanted some wings, and they do have good wings. We got there at about 5:45 p.m. It was just my husband and I, and when we walked in the door, the guy that was greeting people, who seemed like he may have been a manager, asked us if we had a reservation. I told him we did not have a reservation and that I didn't even realize that a place like that even took reservations and he proceeded to tell me that it was going to be after 7:00 before he could seat us. Mind you, literally half of the place was empty, so I was a little floored when he said it was going to be more than an hour's wait, especially when there was no one in front of us waiting. I asked if we could just place a to-go order, and the girl behind the counter told me she would take my order. As we were looking at the menu, the manager / greeter person kept coming by us and saying, "Excuse me as if we were in his way. My husband and I walked to the other side of the counter so we would be out of his way, and then he walked over there and did the same thing. So I asked him if there was a place we could stand where we would be out of the way, and he said no, not on a Friday night. Again, mind you, the place was half empty, so I don't know what his problem was. At that point, I just decided that maybe we should just stay out of the way all together, and so I said never mind and laid my menu down, and we left. I was just very floored by how rude this man was, and it was literally not busy in there like he was acting like it was. Too bad because I certainly won't be back. If he doesn't own the place, I wonder what the owners would think of how he was treating people that could potentially be...
