“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.

The food was PHENOMENAL and our server Ty… HE DID THAT! The staff prepared each meal perfectly and not one of us had any complaints!! Thank you all for being so accommodating! And Mr. King ( the manager) he was totally hands on as well as I think her name was Renee another manager . We will so be back!!!“

“First time here, and my son and I had an excellent breakfast. The food was great, and the service was great. Definitely will be going back to try more. The menu was loaded w great looking options. I had the chorizo sausage gravy and biscuits w over easy eggs and homefries (how I never thought to make sausage gravy w chorizo...idk). It was FANTASTIC. Son had the greek omelet, and it was loaded. He loved it. We both also had pancakes, and they were fluffy perfect pancakes.“

“great ambiance, superior food!“

“Elysia was an amazing and kind waitress! She was efficient and had a great personality.“

“Breakfast buffet. Excellent service and friendly people. Will come again.“

“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“

“I’m driving cross-country from California to New Hampshire and I feel so lucky that I stumbled upon this absolute gem! The restaurant’s atmosphere is lovely, everyone was incredibly welcoming, and the food was delicious! I definitely will make a point of stopping back in when I’m in town again!“

“This is a place to get a meal with immediate service from coming in the door. Excellent presentation of cocktails and beverages. Waitress give options for meals during all orders. Always checking if needed anything. Exit had very nice message leaving“

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

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

“This was the first time at RHG. Food was good and service good. I was turned off by the dirty concrete floor of the outside patio especially around the bar area... it was black from years of foot traffic. If it were cleaned it would be more attractive in my opinion.“

“We started coming when the Mentor store first opened we’ve been here every weekend sense. The people and food keep us coming back“

“We had such a great time playing there!! Great crowd and friendly service toward the Pawn Band.“

“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.“

“This is such a hidden gem at the mall! Omg, I love the fries. They are carnival style and seasoned well. First time, I got the Chicago dog and second time, I got the one with pimento cheese. Is this place super cheap? Nope. They're making homemade fries though and I feel like the hot dogs are pretty tasty! My husband loves their smash burger too!“

“My boyfriend and I stopped in while on a short road trip to Erie and have nothing but good things to say after our experience. From the start, we were seated and greeted by two very friendly staff members. Another waitress subbed in for our orders and helped us decide on which burgers to get which were both stellar choices. The draft menu was on point, appetizers did not disappoint and the main course trumped any burger restaurant we had ever visited. At the end, another waitress grabbed our bill and card in passing for payment and it felt like everyone there was a team. 10/10, zero complaints, only 5 stars for days and we were in and out in 1 hour flat.“

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

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

“Just had an amazing BBQ Chicken Wrap, its not just Hot Dogs! and the Ice Cream after was so good“

“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!“

“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!“

“This was the 1st time eating here & won't be the last!!Cafe was packed but only had a short wait & well worth it. Food was delivered fresh & hot, waitress very attentive. All employees were friendly, perfessional & smiling. Even the owner was busting tables & friendly.“

“I love this place. The staff is what makes me come here frequently. They are amazing, friendly, and they go above and beyond every single service. Food is made with the utmost love and the drinks are served to satisfy with every sip. RWB is my go to. You all make my day every time I visit. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to every service. Thank you all!!! We’ll see you again soon!!!“

“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!“

“My parents took me out for my 57th birthday to celebrate. When we arrived we were seated immediately which was really nice. We had an amazing waitress by the name of Jenna. Service was impeccable our meal was brought out in a timely manner and the food was very delicious.Everything we needed she never had any problem with going to get and I am really grateful and thankful again for the experience that she gave to us being there. We need more waitresses like her that make you feel special in spite of your skin color. Thank you Jenna for making our experience at the roadhouse a good one.“

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

“1st time there. Read a lot of good reviews about Sammy’s. Had spaghetti and meatballs. Yes, spaghetti and smeatballs on a Friday! Came with soup and salad and garlic toast which was very good also. Very very busy. Waitresses were husselling at a fast pace but all were very nice and kind and kept a smile on their faces!!! Also took a piece of key lime pie home for later. ? mmmmm soooo good! It’s a smaller mom and pop place, well worth the visit! I definitely will be going back there. ??“

“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.“

“Sal the bartender was amazing. The place was lively and fun. Definitely going back.“

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