“I can not explain how much we love this place! I swear this is one of the only places that we go that my kids actually eat their whole meal. lolThey are always so friendly as soon as you walk in those doors! Best bang for your buck and food is always fresh . Plus, we love the cool coffee creations and smoothie’s they make. We wish we got there more but sometimes our schedules don’t allow it.”

“The coffee is sooooo good. If you order a specialty coffee, it's always perfectly balanced. Never overly sweet or bitter. The atmosphere is also wonderful. Love being surrounded by the plants and fountains while sipping.Seriously, not enough good things can be said about the quality of the coffee and the atmosphere.The sandwiches are decent but pricey.My only major complaint is that other than putting a syrup in something they won't really make you a coffee that isn't on the menu. Which is really odd for a fully equipped coffee shop. Luckily for me all of the stuff on the menu is excellent!”

“I absolutely love this place!! There are not many options in the area and I'm so thankful for this place. They have a decent menu selection and whatever I order is always amazing. Their lattes are my favorite. They are always consistently good. The prices are all fair and the service is super quick. The drive thru is my favorite for when I'm in a rush in the morning.

“Lake Tobias is one of my favorite places to visit when I am in PA! Friendly staff, affordable food, and the opportunities to interact with and feed a variety of animals make this wildlife park a unique and special place.The safari bus tours are my favorite part of this park! You are able to feed a variety of bison, gazelles, emus, etc. from your seat! You can purchase either pellets, popcorn, or carrots from the park and the prices are very reasonable. Pro tip: I have found that the animals really like the carrots and the kiddos really like the popcorn. The line for the tour can be long on busy days so make sure to bring something to entertain your kids. The animals eat right from your hand, which can be overwhelming for little ones or people with sensory sensitivities. The bus drivers are very knowledgeable and provide a variety facts about the animals and the park during the tour.The petting zoo has standard goats, camels, deer, etc. Be careful with the camels, some of them like scratches but some of them do not! Make sure that you stop by and pet the baby animals that are being socialized to humans near the petting zoo! I have been able to pet a baby bison, a calf, and a bunch of baby emus that were not as soft as I thought they were going to be. The exhibits are informative and some of the animals have a lot of space. The giraffes are a really long walk from the rest of the exhibits so be prepared! There is a hiking trail that will take you to the entrance of the giraffe exhibit that has birds and a very grumpy bobcat along the way. The trail has hills and is not disability or senior friendly so keep that in mind. If you stop by at the right time, then you may have the chance to feed a giraffe some lettuce or some other snack!Speaking of snacks, the food at the concession stands are delicious and very affordable! The burgers, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs at the Grille & Grub are all reasonably priced and hit the spot after all of that walking. The ice cream portions are generous and refreshing on hot summer days. There are a lot of covered seating areas near the concessions stands and scattered around the lakes. You can bring your own food if you want but with the affordable pricing at the concession stands you don't need to.If it is hot then make sure that you visit the reptile house or the museum for some air conditioning and information. The reptile house has exhibits around the walls of the building and you may get the chance to pet a snake or an alligator! There is a small amphitheater in the middle where keepers will bring out animals and give talks throughout the day. These talks are popular so get there early if you want a seat with a good view! The museum goes through the history of the park and is a loving tribute to the founder. There is an aquarium in the museum and staff who will show you some of the antlers or horns that the animals at the park have dropped.The park is open 10am - 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 6pm on weekends from June to August with shorter hours, limited activities, and/or only open weekends in April, May, September, October, and November (see the 2023 schedule below). Check back with the park website for their updated 2024 hours but the general concepts (only open for safari drive through in April and November, only open on weekends some months, etc.) have not changed in the past 3 years that I have been visiting. If you are coming from the south and taking the 225, there is a crazy bend in the road that you really need to be careful of (see the photo below). The park is located in a rural area but there is signage as you get closer to let you know that you are going the right way. You need to go past the John Deere store to get to the entrance. Parking is always free and admission at the time of this review was $19 for anyone age 3+ and includes all of the exhibits and the safari. You can pay $10 for the exhibits alone, but I highly recommend that you add on the safari! Active duty military and veterans are free with military ID. They don't have a way to purchase ti”

“Literally the best in this area. An always changing menu and very good staff. I wasn’t expecting 5 star quisine, more like bar food. But, it was just short of a high quality restaurant. And, it’s very cheap even in todays time. I’ll take it over anything in the Tri county area.”

They have great flavor and seasoned nicely with a nice portion for a fair price.

“During a recent adventure, we stumbled upon the Carsonville Hotel, a delightful find that we discovered through Facebook. The allure of their seafood Bloody Mary special was too tempting to resist, and it certainly did not disappoint.As we perused the menu, the buffalo chicken nachos caught our eye, and what a fantastic choice they were! Each bite was a perfect harmony of flavors, leaving us thoroughly impressed and eager for more.But the true star of the show was the Thin Mint Cheesecake. It was nothing short of fabulous, a dessert that managed to be both refreshingly minty and decadently creamy all at once.The Carsonville Hotel has etched a special place in our hearts, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. For anyone who finds themselves in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won't regret it!”

“Food, Service, Atmosphere all 5 stars. We have been hearing such good things about the Old Trail Tavern for some time and finally went to try the place out. The decore is really nice, kind of rustic. The food is amazing. I had a Delmonico medium rare and my darling wife had the fish and chips special, since she had steak the night before. They cook the steak over a wood fire and you can taste the wood smoke in every bite. It was done perfect. My wife's fish and chips was as good as I have ever seen it. The fish was flakes with a thin crispy breading and the fries are fresh cut. The service was really great. A gentleman named Charles could not have been more attentive, checking on us numerous times. At the end of the meal Charles tells us they heard it was our first time there and they wanted us to have desserts on the house. I had a chocolate peanut butter pie that would have put a diabetic into a coma and Mrs Snyder got the chocolate lava dessert to go. The price was extremely reasonable and we promised we would be back and would bring friends.If you have not been to the Old Trail Tavern in Liverpool, you are missing out on a wonderful evening of good food and great service. We will be regulars!Tell them Steve and Kathy Snyder sent you.”
“When I walked in I was greeted by an employee Kelly Caster who was very personable, friendly and professional! She went out of her way to make sure everything was right and did so in a very timely manner! I would highly recommend going there!”

“This is a great local spot. The staff is always very friendly and they typically have quick service. You can dine in (order at the counter), order take out for pick up or they offer delivery! Some of our favorite meals are the chicken bacon ranch pizza with no tomatoes, cheesesteak (their bread is delicious) & fries, and you can't go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs. Also, all of their strombolis are great the flavor in the dough is great. To top it off they have birch beer fountain soda!Parking: They have a large parking lot in the back behind the building or along the side where the main entrance is located.Kid-friendliness: My kids are so picky and they have a great selection to suit everyone's needs. Also, there are tvs inside that are great for dining out with kids.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a handicap parking spot and also it is first level accessible for wheel chairs to enter.”
“Friendly staff and delicious snacks. Very often the friendly people working here offer samples in the Walmart store and have coupons for purchases at Auntie Anne's. I've never gotten a bad pretzel or pretzel-dog here. Area seems clean and tidy. Conveniently located in the Sub-way store inside Walmart.”
“It doesn't look like much, but they make the best Chinese food I've ever had! We get takeout here about once a week and never tire off it. Portions are also generous. Food is very fresh and reasonably priced! Delicious pepper steak, Lo mein, beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, steak on a stick, spare ribs, Wonton soup, and all kinds of fried rice.”
