“A PA Native now living in New Haven, CT, home of Apizza, I make the trip to this Gem of a pizza joint whenever I visit. The Zza is exceptional, the people friendly and I am Always Satisfied.“

“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.“

“Had our daughters Sweet 16 party here with about 70 people, a DJ and lots of younger kids. This place is the PERFECT place to host any party! We were all impressed with this venue. There is enough space to dance and have a DJ but a place on the other side to relax play pool/fooseball and just hang out if the music is too much for guests. The staff there helped carry things in and had the whole place set up ready to be decorated! Also, everyone knows the worst part of any event is the clean up. Well, Broadway Tavern told us to take what we wanted and leave the rest up to them!!!!! I will definitely be using this place in the future!! HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“Been coming here for over 20 years.. Generations change things, but this family tavern is still the place to be for the corner/old time bar and it's always a good time. Come here for a great night of music/small talk and get together with your friends.. I love this place!“

“What a great spot! The atmosphere here is a mix of cool/hip but also warm/inviting. Lots of seating indoors, outdoors, and at the bar. The chicken francaise was soo tasty, juicy and cooked perfectly.

What really made our experience was our awesome bartender, Nick. Even when things were busy, he didn’t make us feel rushed but was still quick and efficient. When he checked on us and our drinks I felt like he really wanted us to have the best experience possible. After things calmed down, he gave us some recommendations for the area and was very engaging with all the bar patrons. By the end, I felt like I was a local regular even though it was my first time there. Thanks Nick for making our visit so memorable!“

“Great bartenders and food! Always enjoy my time there.“

“great food great bartenders great atmosphere just a 5 star place all around“

“Un Lugar acogedor para estar en familia. Las atenciones al cliente excelente, con respeto y amabilidad. Higiene, buen sabor sobre todo y una presentación en cada plato perfecta. 110% recomendado. Gracias porque a WILKESBARE le hacía falta un lugar con clase y familiar.“

“Small bar and restaurant with a pool table. We ordered fresh cut fries with cheese and bacon (real bacon, not real cheese) and wings. I ordered the house special sauce, a mix of wing sauce, bbq and parm cheese. It was not the best. The bites were good otherwise. Not too bad price-wise.“

“Good local corner bar establishment. Always welcomed in a place like this. Great drinks, ice cold mix drinks and an atmosphere that will make anyone feel comfortable when trying to have a couple drinks“

“Wings were very pricey, I paid $50 for 30 wings and a small order of boneless wings didn't get some of the sauce I ordered and I'm thought that boneless wings were very dry other than that the people who also ate the wings like them. I'm not a big green either but it was definitely a little pricey I say 15 to $20 more than I expected that's why four stars. They fix the price it would definitely go up. I understand it's rough times but hey it's rough on us all let's share the unwealthiness??“

“My wife and I stopped in over the weekend and enjoyed it. Kester's is a great local bar. It's been around forever and never changes, and that's a good thing. They have a full bar up front and a large room with tables in the back. There is a patio and a few tables in the rear outside. They serve shots, mixed drinks and beer and they have snacks like chips etc. The bartender is very friendly. It's very clean including the restrooms. It is a smoking bar. They have off street parking. The prices are very fair.“

“We’ve been several times and it’s always good but looks like updated menu and some new items that are fantastic. Even better than before!“

“What a great friendly neighborhood place to relax with friends! Good food and drinks delivered with awesome service!“

“I met up with an army buddy that I haven't seen in about 10 years here. we planned on staying for just a few but got chatting with other patrons and didn't end up leaving for 7 hours. great beer prices, barely even put a dent in our pockets even after being there all day!“

“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.“

“I hosted a 30th birthday party here for my friend and everything was fantastic! was able to add some touches with permission from the restaurant, staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely reccomend !“

“I don't normally endorse just any restaurant, but we stumbled upon the best Mexican restaurant in the area. La Cantina Amigon on S. Main Street in Wilkes-Barre is the place you need to go when you're craving excellent Mexican food, great service (see Delia), and fair prices. 😋👍🏻👍🏻 🌮“

“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.“

“Local crowd, not much seating, but friendly service and a nice quiet atmosphere. Primarily an older crowd but I was there on a Wednesday so I don't know if weekends are different. Pool table is kept very clean. Prices are average for a "corner bar" in the area.“

“Was here the other year with my girlfriend on a random road trip. We did some bar hopping and came here on our travels. Cool little spot, the bartender was very nice and the bar patrons were hilarious. I came away with some money gambling on the one machine that helped out with our bar hopping adventures LOL for not being from the are we were treated like one of the regulars“

“I ordered lunch via door dash and to say it was delicious is putting it lightly! It was packaged really well, when it arrived it was still piping hot. I had the bbq rancher wrap with pulled chicken fries. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer and would love to come to the physical restaurant as well! :)“

“We had lunch at Franklin‘s this past Sunday. Our son is at a local college and we have been going around trying different restaurants. So far this has been our absolute best experience. We sat at the bar and Matthew the bartender made us feel welcome right away. Our food was hot and delicious. I got a chicken buffalo wrap and my husband got a special that day, a chicken cutlet sandwich with provolone and homemade vodka sauce, I highly recommend this restaurant. The vibe is cool. Can’t wait to go back again the next time we are in town.“

“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“

“Perfect little Sports Bar located in section 119 of arena. Sports bar only open during Arena hours of operation for a concerts or sporting events. Draft beer bottle beer wine and mixed drinks available. No seating at location but you are allowed to walk with beverages throughout Arena. $7 -$9 price point on most items.“

“First visit back here in quite awhile. Place has been here in Luzerne a long time. Food was great as was the service. Menu is very large. Lots of options from bar food, entrees and pizza along with apps and great salads. Old school bar with great bartenders who know what they’re doing. Chicken cheesesteak pictured. Great time!“

“My girlfriends and I are on a mini vacation in Wilkes Barre PA, and we went to Isabella for dinner. Before going in we decided to take some pictures together. While trying to do a selfie two lovely people offered to take the picture for us. They were so kind and very friendly. Little that we knew they were the owners of Isabella and we talk with them. The dinner was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if ever in the Winker Barre area in P.A.“

“Crescenzo’s Brick Oven Eatery and Bar was really great! They were very busy but Gloria and Chris still put the extra effort into the service. The hummus platter had tasty hummus; and instead of pita, I got taco chips (for low carb)a ton of Kalamata olives, fresh cucumbers placed on “the slant”, a frisée of letttuce, along with perfectly ripe grape tomatoes. Dominic was tossing pizza’s (very professionally) to bake in their brick oven that gives a very special ambience to this restaurant…

Vegetarian options: Hummus fantastic!!!“
