Original Pocono Pub And Grill

I’ve given this restaurant multiple chances, but the hostess continues to be the biggest issue. Showing up at 3 PM—a time when the restaurant is clearly not packed—should not be a problem, yet every time we arrive without a reservation, we’re met with attitude. Instead of offering solutions or even basic hospitality, she acts as if we’re an inconvenience for simply wanting to dine there. The food might be decent, but the experience is ruined before we even sit down. A restaurant is only as good as its service, and with a rude, unwelcoming hostess, it’s just not worth the hassle. Plenty of other places appreciate their customers—I suggest going to one of them instead.

My wife and I have lived in the area for the last few years and have become regular customers of your establishment. We've always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I'm concerned though that we are no longer welcome there. I realize that almost half the country voted for President Trump, but more than half of us voted otherwise. I didn't expect to ever be in a local restaurant on a Saturday night where people would be chanting for one side or the other. It makes me wonder if you cater to Trump supporters. My wife suggests we take our business elsewhere in the future.

Every time we go to Pocono Pub, the service and attention is 1st class.

Food was very below average for the price and portion. The waitress did not care about our feedback and was buried in her phone instead.

Family of four had a nice dinner with a wide variety- buffalo Mac n cheese, house special with red sauce and pasta - to include sausage, pork and meatball. Party melt, fries and nachos. Food was absolutely DELICIOUS and fresh. Service was great. Portions were more than enough. We all took food home. Service was also great.

TLDR: Depressive, bland, questionable quality. Go somewhere else.

We ordered Asian Spring Salad with shrimp (per menu), chili cheese fries, and garlic Parm wings.

Asian Spring Salad was beyond bland. You know when you purchase a tub of spring mix, use it once and it sits in the back of the fridge for a week and a half and some parts of the salad get black a mushy? That was what I got. 7 pieces of shrimp that were so overcooked and tasteless we had a hard time figuring out how they were cooked. They didn't even taste salty, which is hard considering they come from the ocean. No shrimp flavor. Just tough pieces of blandness. Mandarin oranges were again, subpart and low in flavor. Zero freshness in this salad.

Garlic Parm wings: unflavored breaded wings. Season every step people! Or at least something on the dish. Garlic Parm was butter base with minimal garlic. Parmesan was absent. I will say, that the wings were crunchy at least. Point for texture.

Chili cheese fries: huge portion of fries, decent chili. Ours had shredded cheese melted on it, except for one end of the plate that had nacho cheese. Don't know what that was about.

Atmosphere: smelled like it was 100 years old, which hey, it is but that's not appealing at all. Did have a nice patio area, but we chose to sit inside.

Overall: clearly this place is not up to my standards and I definitely won't be back. What floored me is that my dining partner (who often shrugs at bland food and is easily satisfied) was also disappointed. Also, the waitress didn't know her own menu and attempted to charge us $9 for the 7 overcooked bland shrimp that was included in my meal.
