The Fence Drive - In

Wow, what a unique place. Gorgeous riverside views, with indoor and outdoor picnic table seating right next to the river. Fish sandwich and fries were delicious. Affordable prices. Attentive service. Chock full of nostalgia. An off-the-beaten path gem well worth driving to.

I had The Fence's Own Fish Sandwich basket (with tartar sauce and fries). A gastronomical delight! And it's right on the river, too. Cool! It was kinda chilly so we ate inside but lots of people braved the weather on the outdoor seating. Great local cuisine. And they have their quirks which makes it extra special....cash only and the waitress makes your change right at the table. Hah!

Amazing experience. Right along the river. Can either stay in car for service or sit at a picnic table. Wife and I got the fish sandwich, with fresh cut fries. Amazing. Very fast service. Milkshakes were great also. Highly recommended

Update: this experience was horrible. It was 730p, so not sure if they were rushing before 830p close, or what.
fries were undercooked and gross. milkshake had a funky taste and had to be trashed. seafood dinner was disappointing also... only good items we got were fish sandwich and burger...
thought you should know about our experience 😔
No one cared to answer on Facebook either

Delightful riverside drive in with true car hop service. Don't want to eat in your car? Get your order for any of the outside tables. The fish dinner was tasty. The hot dog was plain and perfect... Blistered and snappy skin and a yielding bun. Bring cash... They don't take plastic. My only regret is I didn't leave room for a shake.

Great food, atmosphere and view. Waitresses were fantastic and very understanding and compassionate about us having come there after our friend's funeral service. She had been a regular customer of yours.

Had the half chicken, it was amazing.. We live in Tennessee and this place is a must stop on my visit back to Pennsylvania

We stumbled upon this place as we drove through Central Pennsylvania, And it is a lot of fun! There are not many places left with CarHop Service, but this is one of them, and it is a great nostalgic trip. The fish sandwich was tasty, and simply but well prepared. The cheeseburger was also excellent. The staff were pleasant as can be, especially to a couple of strangers who didn't know what they were getting into. Finally, it's worth noting that this location is right next to the Susquehanna River, and the view is absolutely beautiful. On a nice day this is an excellent place to enjoy the river, enjoy a little nostalgia, and eat some good food.

Everyone told us we HAD to go to The Fence and try the fish sandwich. We were a little skeptical, but the the food did not disappoint! It was the best fish sandwich we ever had! And the view is incredible

Great food!! Delicious Fish sandwich, chicken, slaw...with a beautiful view...sweet waitress...

Very sweet relaxed drive in with a wonderful view. Food was amazing
Must try: fish sandwich & original breaded shrimp and orange tea
I love their tarter sauce

Good food, fair prices and great ambience with tables along the river with view. Wait staff come to your table and if in cars parked there.... why it is called a drive-in.

A perfect night to sit by the river and eat a famous FENCE FISH SANDWICH! Burgers, fries, shrimp and shakes (one of each - chocolate, vanilla and strawberry) were excellent too! Waitress was a sweetheart.

Seasonal restaurant that we look forward to every year. I got 4 filets of fish (very fresh tasting), pile of fries, cabbage slaw & a large drink for $15. Seriously, that’s a deal. BTW, the cabbage slaw is not the sugary stuff, it’s the real German slaw. Loved it. I would suggest if you are mobility disabled to stay in your car. Seating was not comfortable for my husband.

Bucket list visit for me. Have heard great things about this place for years and it lived up to the hype. Fish sandwich was awesome.

This place is an institution. This was my son’s first public outing beyond the dr’s office because it’s just that important to me. The weather always feels perfect here, no matter what’s happening just 2 minutes down the road. Sitting out st the tables allows everyone to enjoy little slice of heaven on the river. We make all our friends and family come here and get a fish sandwich basket because ITS JUST WHAT YOU DO. Do not forget to end with a chocolate milkshake. It’s a thing of beauty.

An old-fashioned restaurant out by the river! Beautiful inside and outside eating!

There's a reason this place has >1,000 positive reviews. Wonderful location. Fantastic food. Quick service. Reasonable pricing.

Long history in the area and a great local business to support. A must have at least a few times during the summer season.

There was 15ish people in our party. The girls were kind and accommodating. They allowed us to put 3 picnic tables together as long as we put them back. Food was great and all came out together.

A great little outside seated resturant along the creek. Also do car window service too.
The fish sandwiches are served in a hotdog bun with homemade tartare sauce, very good. Waitress staff were friendly & quick. A great find with quality food.

Very good fish sandwiches. The prices are very reasonable. Get good view of river. You can eat in car, at picnic tables or eat inside. They waitresses come to you to take your order.
