“Rocky’s is one of the best places to experience quality food in a rustic atmosphere. Portions & quality cannot get better. There is not a meal I have eaten that was far beyond the best. Such pride & imagination goes into each meal. The waitresses are wonderful & friendly as can be. Very welcoming. Don’t judge the exterior because it is clean and inviting.

“Hands down the best and most popular resturant in NEPA. This place is always jammed packed, even on holidays. Wait staff, and management really take care of their customers. I reccomend the ceaser salad and hanger steak. The creme brulee is the best and highly sought after. You are never dissapointed here- even the kitchen staff will come out and check on you. A+++“

“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.“

The staff is friendly and knows me by name, making me feel special. 5 stars to you all!“

“Ordered 2 trays of chicken fingers for my daughter birthday party and where a huge hit everyone asked where we got them and sent them your way!! Thank you“

“Red’s subs and pizza is a great spot for some solid pizza! We have gone up here for probably about 5 years now as we have a cabin near Red’s. This place is usually hit or miss for us. This year it was incredible. Pizza tasted amazing, it was the cheese pizza. We sat outdoors and they have a great area for the kids to play tag at. They always have a blast. 2 years ago it was not up to par but they were packed so let’s give them a break. Anyways it can be a great just stop by place and I would put it up to some really good pizza places in all of PA. Probably middle of the pack. In conclusion Red’s is a great place to have some slices and some subs for a quick lunch/dinner!“

“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.“

“1st time at Franklin's.. loved the fact they had outdoor seating.. nice place! Great food & the service was impeccable.. highly recommend if you're in Wilkes-Barre area“

“Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Marty's Blue Room and indulged in their renowned King Neptune dish. This 10oz filet mignon, topped with succulent crab meat and complemented by perfectly sautéed onions, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first bite, I knew I was in for something special. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture that exceeded all my expectations. The crab meat added a delightful sweetness and a hint of oceanic flavor that paired beautifully with the savory filet. The sautéed onions provided a wonderful balance, adding a touch of caramelized sweetness and depth to the dish. Admittedly, the King Neptune is on the pricier side, but let me assure you, it is worth every penny. The quality of the ingredients, the expert preparation, and the exquisite presentation all contribute to making this the best steak I have ever had. If you're looking to treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience, the King Neptune is a must-try.“

“Hands down amazing food!!“

“Wonderful staff and food! Great place to hangout with friends and family. The fish was huge. If you want an entire fish worth of food, get it, you won't be disappointed. We never had empty drinks. We were here a few days ago and came back immediately.“

“I recently hosted an event at American Grill and BBQ in Exeter, PA, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, the staff was accommodating, attentive, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the ideal spot to gather and celebrate. Every detail was handled seamlessly, which allowed me to truly enjoy the event without any stress. I highly recommend American Grill and BBQ for anyone planning a party, celebration, or even just a night out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and service , and the coffee and food are delicious!!“

“After spending a night at Trumps rally we needed a good breakfast. Being out of the area, the hotel recommended D's Diner. Great recommendation, food was great at a fair price and service was super. We all left satisfied. A true family owned restaurant when you see the owners working with staff to keep things flowing during peek time. I would highly recommend D's diner.“
