“We loved the food at the Tom X pub! It was delicious The cons; the bartenders during the day are MIA and the place was dead. Not one occasion, BUT two. And two different bartenders. One bartender forgot numerous items we ordered. Another time, a bartender was doing shots with customers at the bar. It’s a shame because the food is so good, but due to the lack of good service, we probably won’t be back.“

I was impressed by how well you treated my mom by giving her the Au Poivre with a medallions of perfectly cooked filet mignon. And the steak sauce was so silky and rich. She also really enjoyed the Margaritas and the service. My entree was a Cobb salad (watching my carbs) and it was absolutely perfect, with tons of blue cheese and bacon. Thank you for a lovely Mother's Day 💙“

“The service was great and food delicious“

“My wife and I travel around the country living in vacation rentals. While in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, we came across this Diner. It's more like a New York type Diner than any place we've been in our travels. My wife have the French onion soup, and I had fish and chips. The French onion soup was very good according to my wife, and the Fish and Chips were okay. I asked for the french fries to be well done, and they were barely done. The fish however what's good.

The environment was what you would expect from a diner, so no surprises there. The service was very good, we were seated immediately, ain't that plenty of time to review the menu. The prices were pretty good as well.“

“I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Firstly the temperature outside and inside was well balanced and I thought the varnishing of the bar complimented this greatly.

My favorite is the brisket with greens and sweet potato fries. The portions are so big there's seconds and thirds. And it's so damn good every time.“

“Yum, loved our dinner and will be back“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every time I visit my son we order food to be delivered from this restaurant. Well slice delivery driver took it to the wrong place and delivered it, and it went missing! Well, this restaurant owner felt so bad that they actually made us our food and delivered it within 15 minutes and made it right and I think that’s highly honorable! Their food is so delicious! From now on we’re ordering directly from them, no more middleman!“

“REVIEW FOR CAPPY’S (upstairs event space at siamsa!)

My husband and I got married this year on 9/21/24 and decided to have our reception at Cappy’s. Here is my completely honest, detailed review of how everything went:

To say that we saved so much money having it at Cappy’s rather than using a traditional wedding venue, is an understatement, because I can say without a doubt we must’ve saved thousands of dollars on our reception. You truly get the best bang for your buck here at Cappy’s, with the drinks and price per plate being extremely fairly priced. We were allowed 4 entrees, 2 sides and a dessert option for our buffet style dinner which was amazing, as we had guests with different tastes in food, which made it even more curated to our wedding and guests overall. We were also allowed to bring our own cake and cupcakes to add to the dessert table.

Jennifer was our event coordinator, bartender, and wedding expert extraordinaire for our rehearsal and wedding night. She did the most incredible job of calming mine and my husband’s nerves and assured us that we were going to have the best night ever. She had answers to every question we had, kept us up to date and asked us questions months leading up to the wedding, and had plenty of tasteful ideas when it came to decorating the space. My husband and I, and our entire wedding party adored her and her amazing customer service skills. She even had decor to offer us from “Cappy’s Closet”, which helped us tremendously to fill in any missing spaces that we had in the reception decor. We were even ahead of schedule by a full 30 minutes and Jennifer made sure to keep in contact with me and the DJ throughout the whole night when the timeline got thrown for a loop, she adjusted everything perfectly and nobody even knew that we were off schedule.

Cappy’s was big enough to seat 67 guests (including my husband and I) WITH a sizable dance floor and a DJ. This was a huge must for us as 67 people really is not a small wedding, Jennifer once again worked her magic and made everything fit perfectly. It is a beautiful space that we were able to decorate how we wanted, which I loved getting to be able to do. We were allowed lots of flexibility and freedom having our rehearsal and reception here. If you’re worried about parking on Main Street as well, don’t be, my guests got parked and seated extremely quickly, even for a Saturday night wedding, there are plenty of spots and parking decks for your guests to park at.

Overall, if you’re looking for a review to convince you to have your reception at Cappy’s, let it be this one. I was extremely picky about how I wanted our wedding to go and how I wanted it to look. Cappy’s and Jennifer not only exceeded our expectations, but I cannot express how perfect the night was. I wish I could re-do my wedding night 1000x over because of how incredible it was. My guests cannot stop talking about how much of a good time they had. It was everything we wanted and more. From the food, to the value of what we paid, to the space itself, to the event coordinator, to the freedom of decorating the space how we wanted it, this place is a hidden gem in the Poconos for weddings. I will only be having my big events here from now on!“

“The Original Pocono Pub is our go to place for food and drinks. The food is good, you can’t go wrong with any of Chef Mario’s specials! The staff is friendly and attentive and there is nightly entertainment.“

“We loved our dinner here, from super fresh salad bar with lovely pastas, 2 homemade soups, stuffed shrimp that was fresh as oceanside and perfectly cooked & seasoned steak! This chef is raising the bar here, so check out this up and coming restaurant gem!“

“the best Jamaican spot in Poconos… i’ve been to some others in the poconos and I am telling you they are the best. Nice people and fast service.“

“Just got home from a fantastic dinner at TK’s Bar and Grill on Rt. 611 in Mt. Bethel, PA. Tonight we had Chicken Francaise with Linguine and a TKs Loaded Burger with Onion Rings. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous and the service was excellent. This is the second time we have eaten there this month. Additionally, the prices are far more reasonable than other eateries in our area. There were several tables available at 7pm which was sad because the food, price and friendly service were exceptional. We need to support our local businesses!“

“Food was good!! The waitress was very attentive & friendly“

“I like the red lobster in Bartonsville PA. Our server with Sara! She was kind and caring and really speedy with our food. My daughter ordered some crab legs and they were giant and delicious. She said. I personally love the biscuits. I think they are awesome. Overall five stars from my family and the price was great too.“
