Awesome food and highly personal service. I enjoy lunch nearly every weekend and never had a bad occasion. Gretchens is a Honesdale gem I recommend!

One of the best places to eat. A cozy, homey atmosphere with fantastic service. Everyone was amazing. The Chesapeake Shrimp was done to perfection. The food was so good it made my eyes roll back. The flavors were heavenly and on point. I will be coming back!

We ate lunch here. It's a quaint little place where it seems like the waitresses knew the regulars/ locals by name and those people most definitely seemed to get " extra" attention. When we walked in I had asked if the special they had yesterday was still available as a regular menu item. The hostess said she would check. We seated ourselves and it took about 10 minutes before the waitress came over to take our drink order. Interestingly enough the " regulars" were seated and immediately taken care of. I inquired again if the special was still available and she said she would check. That took another 10 minutes as she continued to go to other tables, take drink and food orders. Finally she returned to take our order and I asked a third time if it was available and she looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about. Finally she just said that they " couldn't find it" ... I ordered the baked potato skins and my husband had a salad. It arrived very quickly. The food was good. Prices were average. She did come back over while we were eating and we asked for drink refills once which eventually arrived (after we were done eating). But again We waited for those for several minutes while She brought out other food and drink orders and stood at the tables talking. The positives were how quickly we got served and the potato skins were not just skins but rather still had the potato meat in it along with a decent amount of cheese and bacon. Nothing special here unless you're a local it seems.

Well the one good thing was the service. As far as the atmosphere goes it was like a funeral home with a fish tank. We got a plain pizza and an order of garlic knots, I'm not sure if they're partners with Shell oil or not. The pizza was dripping and soggy with oil, the garlic knots were floating in a half inch of oil in the to go box. It was good but suffered severely from the grease. I'm not sure how this place has high reviews unless people are getting the food for the oil and not to consume.

Delightful mom & pop Italian restaurant. We arrived 15 minutes before they closed. Alex gladly got us seated, processed our order (butternut ravioli and large salad, both delicious), and sent us on our way with two delicious brownies. Highly recommend.
My family and I absolutely love Gretchen's Grotto. The staff is the absolute best! They are always friendly and kind. We love the quality of their food, the many menu choices and the extremely generous portion sizes. Gretchen and her wonderful team feeds us at least twice a week. I highly recommend them!

Excellent food and service! Most of the items on the menu are made on site, so the food always tastes fresh! The seafood chowder is very delicious!
