The main reason for me writing a poor review of Curley's is their shady business practices. My party of six dined here to celebrate my daughter's graduation from high school. Food & drinks were average, atmosphere was nice, prices a little high. Got our bill, reviewed the items we ordered which were correct, added a 20% gratuity, went on our way. Shame on me for not reviewing the check more closely. Upon reviewing it at home later than night, I saw that the restaurant already added a 20% tip, which means I added an additional 20%. So my tip was 40%. The shady part was that on the check, another line was added for "additional tip". It showed: Amount Included gratuity Total Additional tip Grand total
To me this was slipped in there to catch guests off guard. I was there to have a good time and celebrate with my family, not to be deceived by a greedy restaurant. I will not be back. Two lessons learned that night; read your check closely and don't spend your money at shady businesses that look to rip off trusting and unsuspecting guests.

Was here celebrating my God sister in Christ 70th birthday. So grateful to witness and hear all the wonderful stories about her childhood.
Vegetarian options: There weren't a lot of options for veggie eaters, but that could be because of the menu selected. That what I could eat was good.

Worst cocktail I've ever had. It's hard to screw up a margarita, but holy cow. The duck was so over salted I could barely eat it. His chicken was fantastic, however. The bartender was very friendly and seemed to be multitasking. We were the only two at the bar on a Friday at 730pm.

We had a fantastic dinner at Curlys. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. All the dishes were prepared and served with such purpose. The portions were great too. We had crab cakes, beet salad, Curlys burger, black black bean soup, and scallops Balboa...all just super good. Wonderful restaurant there in Lackawanna!

First time dining at this restaurant and wow . I was not expecting it to be this nice . I was definitely underdressed. I believe it is casual dress code but I would recommend maybe a button down and a nice pair of jeans . The service was A+ our waitresses name was Taylor and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and even gave us recommendations to try since it was our first time . Our food was also very good . You definitely have to try the black bean soup I definitely enjoyed that . This time around we chose to get appetizers. The banana peppers and calamari was delicious the shrimp was a hit I wish we got two orders . You have to definitely try the cheesecake ❤️We are looking to go back soon and try some main menu items

My wife and I had dinner on a Friday night here. The food was good; not great. Prices per item was excessive for the quality.Please read your bill before you pay! The waitress that no longer gets paid minimum wage and receives a 20 percent tip felt entitled to add an additional $2 to the bill as a tip for the cook. The amount of the tip does not concern me, it’s the arrogance and sense of entitlement applied to the bill.The owner should be ashamed of themselves for the practice. Curlys will never see me there again.

What they say is jerk chicken is not jerk chicken. It was one of the worst pieces of what they called jerk chicken I ever had in my life. The food was terrible claims casino were terrible. I never heard of anybody putting Jalapeno peppers in clams casino and the crab cake was awful. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.
The food was absolutely fantastic! Although the prices are high, you get what you pay for. We had date night here a few weeks ago and I would definitely recommend Curly's.

Just got in town, stopped there to use the bathroom. They said bathrooms are for customers only. I can't drink due to medical reasons, so I bought a customer a drink left a $5.00 tip (it cost me almost $10.00 to use their bathroom.) I was still treated like a second class person.For this reason I would never recommend this place. Very mean people there.

First and last time there. Waitress was terrible, food was overpriced and awful. Doused with Jamaican spice just poured on before serving. I could go on and on. Just skip it . Don't recommend anything
