“Where do I start ? Came for dinner Wednesday night and then came for dinner Thursday again. That should say something . I’m beyond impressed by the Staff and the establishment, it beyond exceeded my expectations. We have a lot of fine dining in the Poconos region with some higher end restaurants and this place exceeded them. The quality of the food is superior. Take a look at some of the pics of the food we ordered. Ended up meeting Sean the head chef and impressed how he runs his kitchen , everything goes with the flow . Make sure you make a reservation :) we ended up not making one and we got seated over looking the kitchen and it was the best place. You see all the action. Can’t wait to come back from Poconos.

“great ambiance, superior food!“

“Yesterday was a Sunday, I worked all day. On top of it, my Jeep had a flat and it was late on a Sunday so no shops were open. I hadn't had the chance to go grocery shopping because I worked overtime last week because its Birthday Season/Holiday Season. So decided to doordash dinner because i was starving. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with Mayo on it. First there was no bacon. How do you forget to put bacon on a bacon cheeseburger? The burger was blackened burnt.Then there was no Mayo on it, and usually that wouldn't bother me cuz it's a condiment that is usually in most people's fridges, except mine, because I hadn't gone grocery shopping. I can't eat a dry burger. Needless to say I went to bed hungry last night. May I add I work in healthcare and we're in an active covid outbreak. I was so exhausted and work has been so stressful, that this whole ordeal literally made me cry tears. I felt defeated and I was looking forward to chowing down that burger. The most upsetting part was how much my food cost, and the prices are hiked on doordash. I can't wrap my head around how careless the cook obviously was.“

“Our first time here, about 1:30 there were a few people and a few more came in after we did. Our waitress came over immediately and was very friendly. The restaurant is clean. A fairly extensive menu and they serve breakfast and lunch all day. I had an omelette my husband had a burger and we both enjoyed our meals. Good value for the money as well“

“Long time customer from when they took over the yesterdays restaurant. Years ago it was much better. The spaghetti was really a bolognese sauce that was AMAZING and would have been a $20 plate in other restaurants. That was 20 years ago. When they went to a marinara I asked why? And the owner told me no one would order it with the name bolognese lol. And they wanted a simple marinara sauce. Oh well. The rest of the menu started to suffer some when they started to open more restaurants. They started to not give a dinner roll when they use too, less stuff on a simple side salad. Saving a penny here and there. I know others that feel the same way. Mary's is still a good place. Fast service, always seem friendly lol. But it use to be very very good. Breakfasts are always great. Not much to change there. But some things show the cut backs to seemingly fund more restaurant. We use to go far more often then now. But we still go, and still happy with everything. But if you are a long term customer you saw the changes. Scale of 5 stars I would have gave it a solid 5 before. And I am a TOUGH grader on things as you can tell. Now about a 3.75. Service 4.75 Price 4.50 Food 3.00 I place a heavier value on the food as it is the real reason people go to a restaurant. TO EAT. Madison and Geneva is better to have them for sure. But we have so few good restaurants. What we need is a good deli. Not sure why but everything is pizza or fast foods or Italian. I would suggest a couple new things on the menu. Thank you for your contribution to our community. Tom“

“the Burek is amazing! I love the cheesecake they have.“

“Jordan was our waitress this morning! So efficient and fun“

“Started with a shrimp cocktail - pretty standard fare with large size shrimp. We have a filet and swordfish. Both were hot and tasty. The bacon Brussel sprouts we very good according to my wife :-) , my side dishes were also very nice. The dessert was a cheese cake with berries - very creamy smooth cheese cake. Our waitress was very attentive.“

“Good food great service every time“

“Recently, I visited The Original Hotdog Factory with a group of friends. There were menu options for any dietary needs. I ordered the Factory Loaded Fries! They would best be described as a chili dog over fries. The chili was absolutely delicious and the serving size was enough for 2! I highly recommend this restaurant for the variety of food, numerous options, serving size, flavor, and freshness! You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to visit again.?

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is conveniently located in the food court at Great Lakes Mall. Fortunately, the tables can be moved to accommodate individuals who require the use of wheelchairs or other equipment.“

“S.O.S. was perfect! Staff was very friendly. I'll recommend and I'll be back!“

“Nice patio area. Reasonable prices and large menu selection.“

“Great atmosphere, amazing drink selections, food was good and our waitress Gabby was awesome!“

“Great service, great drink and eats game time & happy hour specials! Great place to watch football! BUT, they need to season their burgers. The taste is just plain-Jane. Good buns, fixings, fries and salads.... a little garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper will go a long way. Burger is in your name....step it up a notch please.“

“Fantastic lunch with a great friend! couldn't decide between a couple items so the waitress suggested their Toofer - basically a soup and sandwich. I got the Seafood Bisque cup and a half Ruben sandwich. Both tasted great and waitress was spot on (there when we needed her and not there when we didn't need her). I'll definitely go back and try other menu options! RECOMMEND!“

“Haven’t been to JT’s Diner for about two years. Thought we’d give it a try as we remembered it being good at their previous location. We were very disappointed in our breakfasts. My crisp bacon was burnt to a crisp with burnt taste upon first bite. Our home fries used to be excellent “sliced” potato’s, but yesterday came as mush and the scrambled eggs were not even cut….just folded like an omelet. Coffee was good and hot, as in the past. For $20.53 I expected better. Don’t think I would return.“

“We had the best day watching The Buckeyes at The Wild Goose! One of our sons lives in Willoughby & the other son & his wife live in Shaker Heights. Fav spot for our kids but our first time. The pizzas, onion rings & buffalo dip were amazing! Outstanding selection of beers. Loved the atmosphere. Charming but lots of TVs as well. Can’t say enough about the staff!!! Outstanding service & so friendly! Cant wait to come back!“

“In these trying times, going out for dinner is a luxury. Last night Murphy and James knocked it out of the park for my boyfriend and I ... oh yes I must give it up for the chefs who delivered a home run with our steaks. But James especially went above and beyond. He said he's been there 9 years so his kindness, efficiency and rapt attention must just be in his blood. Our experience went way beyond my wildest expectations and it was because of James. Thank you Murphy, James and Longhorn for restoring my faith in the world ... GOOD, HARDWORKING, CARING PEOPLE DO STILL EXIST 🙏🫶❤️“

“Amazing amazing amazing! One of the best dinners I've ever had. I hope that banana cream pie is a staple. it was heavenly.“

“The owner lets A and B teams play against the C team, Takes the fun away. We’ll have to find a new place to play. To bad since we’ve been playing for 3 years now. Food and service is great.“

“Our service Sawyer was absolutely fantastic. Our food came out quick && hot. The portions are huge. The appetizers are enough for a meal itself! We got the pulled pork nachos, chili cheese loaded fries, burnt end tips with Mac n cheese && cornbread. My fiancé got the fish dinner with Mac n cheese and coleslaw. Our entire bill was $68!“

“Cocktails were perfect. We were served by Adam, and he was extremely attentive to our needs, and then some. Great service. Will definitely return again.“

“wonderful......just wonderful“

“A small quiet place with some of the best food you’ll ever have. I absolutely love their hamburgers and fries which are freshly cooked not frozen! The lady with the long dark hair that works there is incredible and always makes you feel special. Also their drink and food prices are very reasonable making this bar/restaurant one of the most affordable in town.“

“First time here, came for dinner with my husband. We were very impressed by the service and quality of the food. I’m picky and I loved our meal. Everything was clean and our food came out fast.“

“I only go when there's karaoke or sometimes a special event.

Wheelchair accessibility: A person with a wheelchair would need to be able to get out of it to enter or leave or have 2 strong friends to lift them up and down from the curb.“

“Awesome experience! We did my step dad's retirement party here a few weeks ago. The facility was so nice and is SO beautiful! The food we had catered by them was delicious and there was plenty for our party. Heaven was so accommodating and helpful. She made sure we had the perfect setting for his party. I had searched for months for a venue and just happened upon Osso. I am so glad I did! Everything was great! Thank you again!“

“We had a party of 4 for the Easter buffet. Everything was tasty & hot! Service was very attentive. IMO, the only draw back was that it started @ 10, & they were not ready.. easy fix! For the price, it was a great variety. Will definitely be back if they have it again.“

“Excellent service and fresh food! Jack the manager, introduces himself and ensures the customers are happy!“

“Wandered in with some friends for a quick drink and was pretty blown away by the live band they had playing AND the great barmaids and service! We wound up staying way longer than the 15 mins we intended to because "Scatterbraind" kept playing songs we couldn't walk out on, and the bartenders made us feel right at home! Prices were great. Food was fantastic, (we didn't plan on eating there!) , and the music was impeccable! Everything from Pink Floyd to the Grateful Dead to Sublime, Tool, and lots of new stuff we've never heard that we hope to hear again!! We will definitely be back and we will be on the look out for "Scatterbraind" to be performing in the future!! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆ across the board!! What a good time!“

“Good food,great people,and a nice experience...overall service was decent and I could not think about anything whatsoever to complain about...Everyday real people who just seem to try and make sense out of our Everyday lives...I would say it's a family friendly atmosphere even if dining alone...I would definitely recommend to anyone Thank you for the nice experience“

“This place is amazing the bartenders are great and make great conversations. Rob was great he kept us entertained while we ate and made it a “neighborhood” atmosphere. We definitely will be coming back. Food was perfect. Everything I would ask for and more“
