We picked up the Pot Roast dinner special the other night and it was delicious!!! She made all different gourmet brownies the other week and they were amazing, especially the chocolate peanut butter 🤤🤤 I really can’t say enough good things about it! We highly recommend Eatery 519, it’s one of our favorite spots to grab and go lunch and dinner.“

The store is clean, well-organized, and packed with a mixture of authentic Mexican and American products you won’t easily find elsewhere. They have everything from fresh tortillas and homemade salsas to imported candies, spices, and pantry staples. The meat counter is always well-stocked, and the quality is excellent—perfect for making tacos, carnitas, or any of your favorite traditional dishes. What really sets this place apart is the staff. They’re incredibly helpful and kind, always willing to answer questions or recommend ingredients for recipes. It feels like a little piece of Mexico right in our neighborhood.

Parking: Mmm, yess, good parking, yes, very nice!“

“I love this place for uncomplicated comfort food and affordable, highly customizable ice cream desserts. 50's vibe is an escape from commonplace decor and adds to the charm. Bring your antique ride and a couple of friends to add to the adventure.“

“Be warned, portions aren’t exactly big and the place is expensive but the food is good. Really nice bar and a cool interior. I think the standout here are the cocktails. They have very good bartenders because they’re the best I’ve had in Easton to this point. Service is good, all servers are very attentive but not all over you.“

“The food is amazing, they do a lot of catering to gluten-free. The owners are wonderful and kind, they work really hard to make this a top notch resteraunt.“

“The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and efficient. Beautiful place and would highly recommend!“

“What is not to love at Betty's Luncheon. the homey atmosphere like your family member is making you something delicious to eat. Prices are more than fair and the comical fella serving was friendly and down to earth. We stopped by to pass time waiting for jewelry repair to open but will make a special trip now and then to have lunch. Love the old fashion feel. Thank you !“

“5/5 Stars – Found our new go-to spot!

​We’ve driven past this place dozens of times and never stopped in, but after seeing a post on FB, we decided to finally give it a shot, so glad we did!

​Cozy atmosphere, inviting, and incredibly friendly staff. We even had the pleasure of being served by one of the owners! Super nice and a hard worker for sure! Special treat of live music on a Friday!

​The food was top-tier from start to finish. We started with the pretzels and deviled eggs—both amazing. For mains, the smash burger and steak frites left us wanting more. All locally sourced too. The menu hits the sweet spot: focused, but packed with items you actually want to try.

​Despite being completely full, once I heard the menu updates seasonally, I couldn't pass up the lemon mascarpone cake. It was light, bursting with flavor, and absolute perfection.

​To sum it up: we’re already planning our next trip and fully intend to work our way through the menu. We’re ready to become regulars and highly recommend everyone give this local hotspot your support.“

“Their restaurant is good and Store has most of what you might need ; however have stopped hy several times just before closing and they are closed . If they are going to close at 750/755 instead of 8, why not list that as the hours ?“

“I really enjoyed their Ginger peanut salad. I had one of their fresh out of the oven pretzel dog, Yummy!! Good food, great folks working there and a wonderful town“

“delicious homemade sausage, perfectly poached eggs, amazing French toast!“

“I am not one to leave Google reviews, but after my experience at Sawmill Grill I had no choice. Yuri is absolutely amazing. Everything he has done with this place has left a lasting impression on me. The food is amazing, the service is second to none, and the overall feeling you get from the atmosphere and conversation will leave you wanting to come back. I will for sure be a frequent visitor. If you haven’t had the chance yet, I highly recommend you get out to the Sawmill Grill and experience some of the best food in the Lehigh Valley.“

“Breakfast is delicious and the staff is so nice. Highly recommend.“

“Buck’s is the best BBQ in the area in my humble opinion! Staff is always awesome to deal with and the food is amazing. Pulled pork and j*** chicken with their Carolina sauce is the best. The summer salad and collard greens are my favorite sides though my son would say their Mac n cheese is the best. Great corn bread too! Can’t recommend this place enough. Check hours before you stop in.“

“My husband and I really enjoyed our first time dining here. the French onion soup was the best we have ever had. the Pollo Pomodoro was absolutely delicious and my husband really enjoyed his filet. We sat by the fireplace . What an amazing dining experience! Can't wait to come back!“

“Incredible Service. Absolutely incredible burger and Sriracha fries. Simply amazing.“

“Wonderful Ambience. Outstanding Food. We both had the Mushroom Truffle Burger with the garlic pecorino herb fries and side salad, everything was delicious. Our waiter, Mitchell was very attentive and kind. Dessert was freshly made and out of this world scrumptious!“

“My in-laws Jeannette and John Smoll used to go there at least monthly back in the early 90’s. They got to know the owners and became good friends, so much so that my wife and I were married at Christ Luthern Church a few doors away just so we could all walk over to the Springtown Inn afterwards for our reception dinner. The food and atmosphere were just perfect. We completely forgot to get a cake so they baked one right on the spot. There’s much more to the story, but they made our wedding day a most cherished memory. In fact, today is our 34th wedding anniversary, July 27, 1991. We don’t live in the area so I was very happy to see that you are still in business after all these years. I hope we can get back there one day!“

“Highly recommend! Great menu options and reasonable prices.“

“We had a fantastic dinner Saturday night! Our reservations were right on time and the Service and Food were absolutely awesome! Thank you Red Wolfe!!!“

“Had a great time with family and old friends. Food was very good. Service was good too.“

“My wife and I stopped in last weekend. Noticed that there was soft shell crabs on the menu never seen it on their menu before had to try. I am very picky about this. They were one of the best I ever had not deep fried, sauté in butter, garlic, and white wine fantastic we will definitely go back.“

“Great food, great service, great people!“

The grounds and the building were beautiful, the staff was helpful, experienced and had great energy, the food was exceptional, and everyone truly had the best time! I made an 8 hour round trip and can confidently say that I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Very highly recommend!“

“It was a lovely experience at Chez Daniel. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. They were very attentive and accommodating to our needs. My adult son who has autism enjoyed his meal. We look forward to going back soon.“

“I was there for dinner at 4 PM on Saturday with a big group and I had Smashburger and it's one of the best hamburgers I've ever tasted and the service not only is amazing but all the waitresses were so friendly and so nice. I wish I didn't live so far away.“

“I ordered a s’mores ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday, and it was perfect—delicious, well-made, and reasonably priced. The team was easy to work with, responsive, and organized. I gave them full creative freedom on the design, and the result was adorable. This was my first experience with them, and I’ll definitely be back for future cakes.“

“Excellent food, excellent atmosphere! This place takes the ordinary tavern to the next level with their creative food and drink menu. It was my first visit but not my last, definitely check it out!“

“Personable and friendly staff…especially the manager! very clean/well-kept, affordable, fun mini golf, great ice cream and dog friendly! Can’t wait to go back“

“Amazing food and great service. Everyone is like family there.“

“We were in a few times a few months ago and the food was really good! Even our picky kids loved the chicken tenders. I dare to say I liked the food better than the other national fast food chicken place lol. There was a problem with one of our orders and the general manager Rebecca was really really great at helping us out and made everything right. When we can back in Tahnasia J was also very friendly and helpful in regards to getting the mistake fixed. We really appreciate the customer service. We can't wait to go back, thank you! Love that chicken from Popeyes!“

“We come from New York City just for a jakey and a crab sandwich. My dad told us to stop and try the food. I was hesitating eating in a gestation. Omg this is far beyond that! It was amazing. I have cravings for their food. Anyone we know that will be passing it on their travels we urge to stop there. It’s our favorite little place. The staff is also really friendly. I like that I can see the kitchen also. Awesome spot!“

“Their restaurant is good and Store has most of what you might need ; however have stopped hy several times just before closing and they are closed . If they are going to close at 750/755 instead of 8, why not list that as the hours ?“

“When we pulled into this place we were a little apprehensive as it looks a bit run down or "divy" from the front but don't judge a book by its cover as they say. The place is roomy inside and they have a huge deck out back with another bar outside. We asked the bartender what to order and he recommended the "Cheese steak eggrolls" and we were blown away at how good they were. The chef comes in and makes them fresh from scratch every morning. When they run out they run out. We got the last order at about 5:00PM on a Friday! They also have live music on weekends. Cool little "Biker" type place to visit. We would certainly come back again!“

“Perfect set back bar and place, u always feel welcome and at home with friends“

“Recently moved to the Easton area and Billy’s quickly became a favorite our our family’s“

“Me, my wife and 2 kids went for lunch and everything was delicious. The manager even checked in with us. Wife got a steak with mashed potatoes and I got the chicken broccoli Alfredo. Highly recommend both. The whole experience was perfect. Nothing wrong with this location.“

“My husband and I have been enjoying Jimmys Doggie Stand for many years. We live in South Jersey, but never travel through Phillipsburg/ Easton area without stopping. Their gyros are amazing! Their gyro meat and tzatziki are so fresh. The service is great. They’ve become “friends” over the years. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This place holds a special place in my heart! Growing up here along the Delaware River when we were young we would always stop by after bailing hay. Vin and Patty have brought us a new breath of sunshine into our community. Great local entertainment, great pool tables, great pub food, clean and easy going atmosphere. A must visit for the Local Crowd!! See ya there.“

“Love this restaurant we always have a good experience and the food is always amazing. Our server Emilee was AMAZING the best server we’ve had in a while across the board, she was genuine and actually cared which is rare. Our food came out quickly and just as we ordered. (the only semi annoying part of the night was a guy sitting on his phone on speaker close by)“

“I love this place! The bartender Kevin is on point and it’s so comfortable here. Food here is stellar, lots of vegan options and there’s open mic every Wednesday and karaoke every Thursday!“

“great food. fast service.“

“I had an opportunity to capture Cassandra and Rafael's wedding at this charming venue on June 10th, 2023. From a photographer's perspective, this place is an absolute gem.The getting ready shots were a dream to capture inside the property. The rooms upstairs provided the perfect amount of natural light, allowing me to create those airy and light portraits that we all adore. Downstairs, the groom's getting ready area ensured that Cassandra and Rafael didn't accidentally catch a glimpse of each other before the ceremony – a thoughtful detail that I greatly appreciated.The ceremony took place outside. Surrounded by rolling hills and trees, this setting offered me a plethora of angles to capture the heartfelt moments. If a countryside wedding is your vision, then this venue should be your top pick.One thing to note, though, is the summer heat and humidity. As a suggestion, if you're considering this property for your big day during the hotter months, I highly recommend scheduling your couple's shoot after 6 pm to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and avoid the harsh sun. I took pictures around 4 pm which was also ok, but golden hour and sunset lighting just hit different.The reception hall is nothing short of perfection. With its generous space, it comfortably accommodated around 100 guests. What really stood out to me was the abundance of natural light that flooded the space, giving the reception a fresh and airy atmosphere that's a photographer's dream.In summary, if you're searching for a wedding venue that offers a blend of rustic charm, ample space, and breathtaking natural surroundings, this is the place for you. As a wedding photographer, I can confidently recommend this venue to all brides-to-be.“

“Service was fantastic and the food was delicious.“

“Great wings, great staff! Just an all around nice, casual place. Will definitely return.“
