50 Best American Restaurants near Bear Creek Village

“When my Jeep grenaded it’s serpentine belt I pulled into the owners lot where I was greeted by Don and Vicky, they looked at my car, insisted I come in to stay warm and even gave me a few pints to take the sting of breaking down away! It doesn’t hurt they like the Steelers either! I will be back soon for real with my wife to say hello“

“Went to lunch here with my mom during an extremely busy lunch time on weekend and it was still such a great experience. The staff were all so pleasant even though they were running around like crazy. They took a bit to get my tea and I didnt even mind but yet they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal just as an apology, which they didn't even need to do, I understood fully they were just busy. We will absolutely be back!!! Wonderful customer service, worth every penny.“

“My husband and I just had lunch yesterday.he had the most generous delicious turkey sandwich. I had the fish sandwich with arugula tomato etc. Both were excellent. Also love the fact Kay and Jermay so personable always acknowledge us. A great business idea. Thank you both.“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Delicious meal at the Powerhouse with my fiance and a friend, to the tune of cocktails, apps, dinner and dessert. The restaurant was staged beautifully and decorated for a between-the-holidays meal, and even though it was packed there was only a low undertone of voices from the surrounding tables. Our waiter was fantastic and gave honest, informed suggestions that showed great menu knowledge. The cocktails were creative, well-balanced and refreshing; we tried the pomegranate cosmo, winter maple old fashioned, mistletoe mule, holiday margarita, and butterscotch espresso martini. The whipped ricotta and poached pear crostini really stood out and was an incredible way to begin the meal, but don’t sleep on the bacon wrapped scallops. I could have eaten a bowl of that sweet corn puree and even though it’s a party favorite, the smokey/sweet bacon/scallop combo was even more crisp/tender than most their kind. For entrees, we rattled off some Chilean sea bass (w/ citrus beurre Blanc), linguine and clams, and spicy chicken pappardelle, finishing with a few lunges at their Classic House Made, original 1989 recipe, Peanut Butter Pie. Normally my fiance and I split our entrees; unfortunately, I couldn’t come up from the Sea Bass long enough to even offer her a bite. It was really a wonderful sauce, and a perfect amount to swirl around in the risotto. I was able to score the remainder of the clam linguine as leftovers, and even heated up in the microwave two days later it still qualified as a top three clam linguine dish I’ve ever had; buttery, lemony, garlicky goodness.“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

“The Cafe is a comfortable spot for lunch or dinner. The food choices are posted on the wall for customer consideration and ordering at the counter. The food is mysteriously delivered by a member of the staff. I chose a chicken Caesar wrap. It was full of chicken but was a bit dry on this occasion, more lettuce and dressing was needed. It was served with potato chips (meh) and a pickle chip. My friend ordered a club sandwich with special modifications. It also was served with potato chips. We each enjoyed soft drinks -- lemonade and Sprite. A full bar is available which includes specialty coffees. I recommend this long-standing restaurant.“

“There's something about that tray of traditional red that keeps us coming back for more. Add some often-rotating and very creative wing sauce varieties and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know they're a local favorite, I know they have their devoted followers, but I really do feel like it's one of the more unique pizza offerings in our area. We got takeout and it was ready right on time. I hesitate to say it, but I mean it in the most delicious, addictive way; it's like a thinner, tastier, less stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth-ish Nardone’s style (in shape and feel), with a more complex cheese build. It's a hybrid tray/bar pie vibe, and you'll wonder how many cuts you can take before others do the math. My son ordered the cheesesteak; I had a hard time verbalizing ‘just steak and cheese’ but check that picture out, I think he's onto something. The wing sauces don't feel weighed down by butter or additives; they're bright, flavorful and unique blends that you can experiment with, since you can get orders as small as six bone-in wings. One of the sauces we tried was Szechuan orange, almost reminiscent of Asian duck; sweet and tangy with a little peppery zing, the boneless bites come SAUCED. I still prefer the regular wings. And it would be criminal not to mention Grandma Kelsey's Pizza, which might not adhere strictly to the Grandma lineage (whatever that is) but is certainly in my top 3 grandma pies locally; really incredible!“

“Staff are wonderful. Food is great and not overpriced.“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“

“They are what a Deli is supposed to be. When you order a Hoagie or other sandwich they ask all the right questions as to how you want it made. AND...your sandwich tastes exactly...no...BETTER than you expected it to be. Lots of sandwich for the money too! It's a great place!“

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.“

“A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.“

“Nice spot for lunch Decor lovely Food decent, my 2nd visit better than before. Reasonable prices and portions are generous. Will be back.

Parking: Lots of parking available

Kid-friendliness: Child menu available

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter“

“Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn’t greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it’s probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn’t even have to specify (that’s my Dunkin’ hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn’t too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There’s table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done!“

“Awesome food and friendly staff.“

“We had excellent dinners tonight at Cork! There are so many options to chose from on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone! My dinner came with sweet mashed potatoes and they were amazing! Our waiter Justin was also very attentive along with the rest of the staff. :)“

“Found this place a few months back when my daughter had a softball game up that way, and I was looking for a place to watch the Eagles on Sunday. This place did not disappoint for watching any Eagles game. It’s truly like a full eagle bar with the atmosphere of all the fans. Love the place went back a second time a week ago.“

“Popped in the Wilkes-Barre, PA TGI Fridays for lunch. Great, fast, friendly service. The sampler platter was delicious.“

“I have dined here several times and the food was awsome. I had the crabcakes. I was really excited to see two large crabcakes. I was a little confused as why they would serve with mashed potato's but I went with the flow. Honestly they were the worst crabcakes ever. No taste. All breading!. Insult to injury..our server took my plate back and I heard nothing! Not the servers fault.. he was awsome. I will not be back because chefs should stand behind their food.“

“☺Tried the chicken and rice which was their Monday special and it was delicious. I know I will definitely have it again!“

“Incredibly friendly and attentive staff, large portions of fantastic food at very affordable prices. We ordered a cheesesteak, bacon cheese fries, and the chicken croquette dinner, which came with soup or salad, and a chunk of crusty bread, and everything was delicious. Best croquettes I've ever had. Will definitely be back!“

“easily my FAVORITE place for dinner and drinks in NEPA. their location is easily accessible and atmosphere is chill, not too overwhelming. i’m vegetarian and it’s hard for me to find good places to eat… but HOPS is very accommodating! great selection of flatbreads and salads. i have dreams about their veggie burger, seriously delicious! their prices and portions are outstanding. lastly, the staff here is so friendly, chill, and they make you feel welcomed! if there’s a mistake on your order, or if you have any questions about the menu, they are knowledgeable and more than happy to help. i would rate 100 stars if i could. love ya HOPS!“

“I got my usual Sunday morning takeout shortly after 10am on 9/14. I could tell as soon as I looked at my meal that it was skillfully prepared by someone who cared. I had the Eggs Benedict from the senior menu, and it was done to perfection. I enjoyed every bite. Kudos to the chef on duty. I appreciate and acknowledge your effort. The staff is friendly and knows me by name, making me feel special. 5 stars to you all!“

“Amazing food and the staff is beyond friendly. None of the staff knew me but I was treated like a long time friend. This is definitely my new "go-to"when I feel like good food and drinks.“

“The sausage and pepperoni pizza is outstanding and to top that, the garden salad is about the best around! The “small” is more than enough for 2 people. The prices here are surprisingly reasonable, as well. This place should be packed!“

“I want to thank the manager, Joe and all of his staff for making our get-together at Isabella’s perfect!! From the ambience, the food and the staff, it was wonderful.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for a night out or for a group gathering. It was 5 Star all around!
Thank you again, Joe and the entire staff taking care of our group tonight!!“

“Good food with a fair price. Friendly staff. Haven't had a bad experience until today. We have been customers here for years and always have had excellent food and service until today. Everything was over cooked. Had a BLT sandwich with chips. Bacon was hard and burnt. Coffee was burnt and onion rings were also burnt. First bad experience in almost 20 years. Yes I would still recommend this restaurant. Can't be perfect all of the time.“

“I'm so glad that my friends invited me to join them on Friday night. Place was packed what they had enough Boston goes behind the bar to take orders.. I was told that they have very good buffalo wings so I ordered some. They have the best wings in town. My friend asked me to try a bite of her plate and I did and it was super good. I do recommend joining this place.“

“Good hotdogs and food good price“

“Great place to watch a game or just hang out with friends!“

“Absolutely loved my experience here. I was there for a graduation party and everything was amazing.

Huge shout‑out to Cassy. She made the entire visit feel special. Super attentive, kind, and on point with everything. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests and takes pride in her work. Cassy is a major reason I’ll be coming back.

Highly recommend this restaurant for great food and even better service.“

“Great service, fantastic food!“

“We had my daughters baptism luncheon here and it was great. Perfect for kids as there is room to play and run around. Broccoli and cheese shells were a huge hit.“

“I was at Millers in W-B on 4/27, which was also the night of a concert up the street. It was packed. The staff at the front door were SO NICE! We waited at least 30 min at the bar with no eye contact from either bartender. Then, a man who was I’m assuming a server jumped back and served us. We were so thankful and he was also, SO NICE!!!! We sat at the bar for one hour until our table was ready. I used to bartend, so I get it that you can be busy, but at least acknowledge the customers. I also observed arguing between staff and then apologies. I’m assuming, bc it was busy and the main bar tender was stressed, but take that behind the scenes. When we finally got to our table we had Zachary as our server who was PHENOMENAL!!!!! He knew we had a show to get to. He was attentive, friendly, funny and the BEST! I would probably go back, bc the French dip was delicious, but not on a busy night.“

“The burgers were so filling and the fries absolutely amazing first time trying your food will definitely be back“

“Hospitality is second to none. The chef personally checked on all of our dishes. The flat iron steak was on a whole other level of pure delishousness. Ambiance was nostalgic and extremely comfortable. Definitely recommend the Manhattan Clam Chowder. Was out of this world perfect!“

“Amazing family, I love this place!“

“AWESOME FOOD PEOPLE AND SERVICE !!!!!“

“Great food! They always have prime rib! Lots of tv's! Friendly staff!“

“Every detail that is put in by the entire staff and Bob Williams is why we love the Westmoreland Club!“

“My go to bar for the last 40 years, friendliest atmosphere in any bar in town.Reasonable prices.Recently read some unfavorable comments about it, but people who would knock a place like this deserve to be ignored anyway.Wouldn"t waste my time going anywhere else.“

“Great food and great Times there.“

“On our trip to New York, our family decided to make a quick stop off of I80. We only went on reviews but this bar beat all of our expectations. The food was wonderful. The people treated us like regulars. A nice spot for a great cheesesteak and good company.“
