Bumper Bob's Seafood House, Pennsylvania: Possibly the Best

While camping with friends outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, we relished some of the best seafood I've ever eaten, at Bumper Bob's Seafood House in Etters.

The cream of crab soup was especially delicious. Enormous portions and excellent service made the meal even more memorable. Don't pass up the creamy peanut butter pie; friendly owner Bob Conley told us it took his wife, Annamae, 6 months to perfect the recipe.

We asked Bob about the restaurant's unusual name; he told us that he'd bought Annamae some old bumper cars to use as planters. But she told him he'd better not bring them home–so he put them at his restaurant instead. You can see them outside in a flower bed.

Etters is on State Highway 382, about 10 miles south of Harrisburg. Bumper Bob's (1875 Old Trail Rd.) is just west of I-83, between Exits 32 and 33. It's open from 4-10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
