“Great pizza and wonderful staff.“

“The best. I moved down to Easton and just haven’t been able to find anything that compares.“

“Had a fantastic meal. With how crowded they were I expected a longer wait but my meal came out fast and correct. Marilyn our server was fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable. Came back to check on how meal was going and if everything was ok or if we needed more drinks. I’d recommend reservations and ask for Marilyn’s table! Definitely will return.“

“A Taste Of Brooklyn = Instant Favorite!🤤🇮🇹

This food truck doesn’t miss! Friendly service, incredible food, and worth every single bite. If you see this truck, stop what you’re doing and order everything! 😋 Catch them if you can — your taste buds will Thank You! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The sliders were juicy and cheesy with buttery garlic buns. The smell alone is the reason these bad boys didnt make it home, devoured in the car! 🍔🧄

The Italian rice balls — crispy outside, creamy inside, and with that sauce; straight-up Nonna-approved. 🍅🤌

But the real MVP’s? The Empanadas! Crispy, flavorful, and packed with that perfect cheese pull filling. The Beef and Cheese was a classic and instant favorite, The Margherita Empanada was a pizza lovers dream, and The Sweet Pulled Pork with Mac-n-Cheese? That one deserves its own spotlight — rich, savory, and sweet all in one bite. Absolute comfort food heaven. 🧀“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. You will not be disappointed“

“My husband and I really miss Friendly's. We saw the sign and said let's get lunch. They nolonger have the parry melt, my favorite and my hubby love mozzarella sticks. They used to have tiny ones that were fantastic. The new mozzarella was good. The food was good, the service was slow and it was freezing inside. The bathroom was clean, that is always a plus. I would go back again and bring my winter coat. 😆“

“Often times, these smaller road side food stands go unnoticed because the franchised fast food places are dotted everywhere. After a long day at the Crossings, we saw the long line and decided to give it a go. Something quick and familiar, we ordered an 8” cheesesteak that sign mentioned a 1/2 pound of meat, $9.25. A cheeseburger on seeded roll with ketchup, $5.25. And added a bundle of great French fries with a fountain drink, refillable, $4.99. What’s not to love? ❤️ The young gal at the window with the big smile, Nakayla, was pleasant and friendly. Right off of Route 611 in Tannersville, pull in, order, eat and pull out. Take a seat at the multiple wooden picnic tables along business and even a wooden ship play spot for the kiddos.“

“We had an enjoyable dinner with my wife, college roommate and his wife. The atmosphere was enjoyable, just enough noise with a great looking room. The service was outstanding, and the food was highly enjoyable. The French Onion Soup was delicious with a unique puff pastry topping. The house salad had a mixture of greens, blue cheese, cranberries, nuts & seeds with a mild vinaigrette dressing; overall it was fantastic. Finally, the entrees were varied, large and enjoyable. This is an absolute gem and well-worth visiting. We will be back when we are in the area again.“

“I have been coming to this diner for many years I love the food and the owners and all the employees are friendly You will not be disappointed ! They serve breakfast all day which is what I love also If you are in the area stop by and give them a try ❤️“

“Great food, great people!“

“We stopped in today for a late lunch as we have always driven by and always wanted to try this cute place. It wasn’t busy and we were seated right away, the staff were very welcoming. We ordered our food and the appetizer came out right away! We had the pierogies and they were so good! I had a salad that was on special, and my daughters each had the cesear salad and a burger. Everything was delicious! The service was excellent, Mackenzie was our server and she was very attentive. We will definitely be back!!“

“Staff is amazing! Food delicious! Atmosphere is relaxing and warm. They even have a food truck to cater events!“

“you can have popeyes and KFC they can't hold a candle to the flavor of Chicken on the Corner.“

“My wife Brenda and I were privileged to eat tonite at the Beltzville Bar and grill. I had egg plant Parmesan platter. It came out hot, beautifully place on a large white plate. The pasta sauce was an Italian delight. I am guessing homemade by Deana. The egg plant was fresh cut and lightly breaded. The garlic bread had a die for buttery garlic seasoning. The salad was fresh cut served in a 1/2 bell pepper. The greens were varied and of a five Star restaurant quality. The pasta was Al dente firm with a tender texture. Not soft and mushy like so many places today. I also had 2 dozen clams - cooked to perfection with browned drawn butter. My beverage was Miller Lite in a tall neck bottle served in a chilled frosted glass. Our server was outstanding and helpful during our entire meal. I am sorry I forgot the nice young ladies name.“

“This place is a gem. The food is homemade and excellent. We have been the 3 times now with our friend, we are a group of 8. We get something different every time and it’s always very very good. This has become our weekly dinner out with our friends. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food. Decent prices“

“The other reviewer is right...the beer is cold! Rarely do I ever get served a Coors Light bottle as cold as it is at the American Hotel. The bartender Kat is so easy going and down to earth and exemplifies what a bartender should be like. Great service from her, good wings (I always get the butter, garlic, parm), cheap beers, and the atmosphere is so laid back--locals just having a drink and socializing. The interior is old school which I love and the vibes are really positive. This is the only bar I frequent in town. No bars in Lehighton, Jim Thorpe, Brodheadsville compare. Cool place. Good people. Good vibes.“

“Their food is first rate. The ?️ dinners on Friday nights are the best deal in the free world ?? today. If one wants ?? potent potables, then one needs to be a member. However, a current member may sign one in up to three times. After that, one should join. The money goes for equipment, training of firefighters, etc. It's a win, win situation. Monday is ? wing night, build a burger, build a cheese steak ? night, etc. It's the best bar menu and the best selection, with fantastic bartenders and kitchen folks "out the mountain ?️". The ?? Firehouse Grill is, bar none, the best place to go in all of Penn Forest Township. Penn Forest Township is now the largest political jurisdiction in Carbon County in both area and population.“

“Great food and atmosphere! The views are incredible!“

“Just ordered breakfast for the first time. We always pass the diner but have never eaten there. Well, we found our new favorite place! Delicious, fresh, and a great presentation even via a delivery service.“

“Prices were very reasonable for the size of the food. We definitely enjoyed our food and atmosphere. The waitress was very helpful, I will definitely be coming back out when we can again,we live almost 2 and 1/2 hours away.

We only spent $28 for full plates and the drinks were double what we'd normally get at restaurants.

THEY HAVE A BIG MENU OF THINGS.

Definitely worth checking them out 😊 ❤️“

“Had a great experience at Dine & Donate for WGAAA! Great food and atmosphere! Thank you so much for hosting a fundraiser for WGAAA!“

“we had a great meal at Barley Creek! The food was delicious, came out timely, and our server (Jake) was amazing! I do reccommend getting there early as there seems to always be a wait on the weekend days!“

“great, friendly place. food was wonderful. Casey is the sweetest and does a fantastic job!“

“I wanted to review on Google because the rating is unfairly low. We went to Log Cabin during our stay at Camelback and it was fantastic. I didn't realize they were just about to close but they sat us and were very attentive. Tabitha was an amazing server and deserves the highest tips. Do not sleep on the crab cake sliders, they are to die for. Everything we had was great and all the staff were extremely friendly and fun. My only issue is we don't live closer!“

“we usually have good experiences here. last night, however, was horrible. my kids got their food and the waitress forgot mine. My son's chicken fried steak was partially raw. My other son ordered chicken strips for an appetizer and it was served with his dinner. I asked for extra sauce and had to ask again. she never came back to the table once we were done and waited 20 minutes. We had to ask for our Togo dinner which was never put in the kitchen and we placed the order when we ordered our food. I did mention to the cashier that I was unhappy with the service and it seemed like she was just brushing me off. only said I'm sorry. not what happened or anything and only seemed interested in me paying. it wasnt even busy. sorry to say, we won't be back.“

“I brought my family last night and from beginning to end we had an amazing experience. Michelle our server was fantastic and the manager made my 2 1/2 years olds day by bringing him a balloon. The food was outstanding as well! Thank you so much for making it special we definitely will be returning.“
