32 Best American Restaurants near Carbondale

“We were introduced to a tasting of The Cashew Lounge on a wine train event we attended in Carbondale this past Fall. We have been wanting to get to the actual restaurant since then and decided it was a nice sunny Sunday why not take a ride today as we live about 40 minutes away. So glad we did, it was so worth the trip. The food was top notch, the service was fabulous! Everyone was attentive and knowledgeable and some of the friendliest staff we have ever encountered in a restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and clean! The food from appetizer to dessert was A+. We had the Buffalo Chicken Empanadas as an appetizer, homemade and sooo good!. I had the Gnocchi in Vodka Sauce as my entree and it came with choice of soup , I chose the Tomato Basil. Wow, no words , both were wonderful. My husband also chose the Tomato Basil soup and as his Entree chose the Chicken Parmesan over pasta which had a nice twist, it was served with Vodka Sauce instead of the usual red sause. He thought it was delicious! If you leave here hungry that's definitely on you, the portions are huge and we both brought home leftovers. We couldn't resist the Creme Brulee Donut dessert special OMG!! As a side note I never know what kind of cocktail I want order, so I simply said, surprise me with something sweet and fun! They sure did deliver , a chocolate covered strawberry martini , it was so yummy. Thanks for being so playful with my request, most places just kind of give me a look , lol. We even got to chat with the owner, such a nice guy! Thanks for a wonderful first experience, we will definitely be putting The Cashew Lounge on our restaurant rotation!!! Give it a try, you will be glad you did! Thanks again! Greg & Anne“

“Went this evening for the first time. Great food, awesome service and excellent espresso martinis. Will definitely return.“

“Meatloaf tasted good but was a bit mushy, zucchini and tomatoes were phenomenal, potatoes tasted like they were powdered, soup was absolutely delicious, and the gravy wasn’t homemade but wasn’t bad. Service was good, food came out quickly. The booth tables are too low and you have to bend over to eat which is a bit uncomfortable. The regular table’s hight looked fine tho.“

“Quick turnaround on your order. I would definitely stick with steamed dumplings vs. Fried. Crab Rab appetizer are medium size not very large. LO mein was delicious Snrimp Egg foo young ..delicious ask for flat not chucky. General chicken good. I wish they offered the General shrimp on delivery menu . We pick up bi weekly or monthly from here yet I hv not asked if they can do the generals shrimp in a brown garlic sauce as that is fabulous and my go to. If I don't stick with veggies. Try and Enjoy!

“My family, friends, and I love this place! We attend for a lot of the festivals they have, especially the corn festival, and their flights are always a nice drink during our dinners. I also appreciate the atmosphere and it being quiet, but not too quiet, and a very relaxed but professional space. Staff is always super nice, speedy, and conversational, which makes the experience as a whole welcoming and pleasant. I love taking people here when I can!“

“Had a great evening at Frank's Place❤️ The food was fabulous and the service and atmosphere equally great. It was truly worth the drive up from Scranton. Looking forward to my next meal at Frank's.“

“We decided to come here on our way back from visiting our grandchildren. Our first time here. I was very impressed with the cozy atmosphere; very homey and welcoming. We were served with delicious rolls and as Pepsi fans were delighted that they offered that! My husband ordered cabbage rolls and was over the moon with how amazing they tasted. When I go to a place I’ve never been to I always get the turkey dinner if they have it. I asked before I ordered it if it was real turkey or deli turkey and I was told it was real. It came with a choice of potato, cranberry sauce, vegetable and homemade stuffing. For me the stuffing is the game changer. Everything was absolutely amazing!! We are absolutely coming back!“

“A ton of great options for both breakfast and lunch! Such a friendly and helpful staff. The Reuben was perfect and the peanut butter pie was delicious!“

“Stopped in for lunch with a friend. We both had the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich. That is a very tasty sandwich and we both enjoyed it very much. The steak fries were perfect. Our server was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. It was a nice time made very enjoyable.
Great food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“We just can’t get our timing right!! Always stealing away to the Waymart, off-season. We’ve HEARD, that they have an incredible outdoor grill setup…We’ve HEARD, that the Wrangler BBQ pit was custom made in Indiana…We’ve HEARD, that the cherry and applewood smoked meats are on display under their pavilion….But We’ve only been able to TASTE their winter options; an award-winning tray of Old Fashion square (sweeter sauce, two cheese blend), a toasted Cuban with seasoned gravy fries and a crock of French onion soup to boot. It really hit the spot as we split town for the Catskills, and began our journey with some NEPA non-negotiables. Guess we'll have to find our way back once the winter weather breaks.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Terrific staff quick service. I drove for an hour and 20 minutes away. I’m going back often.!“

“Stopped in tonight for dinner and it was amazing! The service was great. Marie is very friendly and attentive. I recommend you stop in. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well worth it anytime you go!“

“One of the best restaurants in NEPA! Do not miss this place. The ambiance and service are lovely. The staff is always willing to make accommodations. But, this place is such a gem because of their wide range of gluten free options!! It is so hard to find GF items in NEPA, let alone this big of a selection. The GF chicken parm in the pictures is INCREDIBLE. I will always come back here!“

“My family loves Leo's. I finally made it there today with my Grandson. We met family. We had the best waitress. She's 80(sorry for saying your age). Be proud. As a waitress myself for 30 plus yrs, Its not easy. She went above and beyond while we waited for the rest of our party. The pizza may be the best I've had in a longtime. The chef sent out a tray as courtesy. Love that. Can't wait to get a chance to go back. Hidden gem.“

“So much to say about this amazing establishment. Food is excellent. Drinks are amazing and there list of available drinks if one of the largest I've ever seen. The wait staff has always been on point. they are friendly and quick to get your drink refilled. there is so much to do between there live music venues, multiple pool tables, slots, or just hang out on there outdoor patio. all around this place is a must go“

“In my top 5 Restaurants in the Mid-Valley. Asset to the community!“

“You Need To Know? Came here based on a recommendation from a friend. Bellied up to the bar & had cold drinks & bar fare. On this occasion we had the jalapeños cheeseburger, chicken tenders & fries & cheesesteak. The food was your normal bar food, good flavors. Would like to return for some different sauces. Environment was very cool & the girls behind the bar worked very well together. Good stop for those in the Dickson City area.“

“Pizza is runny, but let it sit and lt is good. I got a personal pan and a 8in chicken parmigiana hoagie and soda for just under 10 dollars. Very inexpensive, not the best I've ever had, but for the price I was satisfied and staff were nice and sociable. Will stop again.“

“the wings and sauces were very good! will be back :)“
