“Very cozy atmosphere. Great food, service time was great. Our waiter explained everything really well. It’s hard to come by good Italian food in the poconos but this place was one of the best. Perfect for date night or a special occasion.“

“My husband & I organized a little 3 nite get-away to Woodloch Resort (Pines area) for ourselves, 3 other couples & one single friend. We are all in our 60s so everyone has had years to solidly determine they like their creature comforts. We are a pretty well-traveled group so some not easily impressed. Hubby, myself & our single friend have all been to Woodloch a few times & love it! We have never visited in November & hoped there would be enough for us to do. Planning to please 6 other adults left us with fingers-crossed, as inevitably there is always someone who feels a restaurant, hotel, etc. didn't quite meet their expectations. However for this trip, every person LOVED it!! The check-in is not until 5:00 pm but we were allowed to get our wristbands & enjoy the amenities of the resort while we waited for a text that our room was ready. The 3 couples each had Deluxe Lakeview accommodations in the Greenbriar bldg., attached to main building. They were thrilled with the beautiful view each morning from their room or while on their private balcony/patio. They were able to walk to the dining room, night club/show area, sports bar, or lobby which was our usual meeting point, all without going outside. They were right there for mini-golf, bocci, etc. For those traveling with kids it is close to the big playground, water slide in summer or snowtubing in winter, pedal boats or rowboats. My husband, friend & I shared an Edgewater Suite which had a full kitchen, a large bedroom with 2 queen beds, living room with pull out sleeper couch which my friend said was comfortable (but that's based on someone who regularly falls asleep lying on her couch - LOL) & a washer & dryer. Very spacious. It was a little bit of a walk to the main bldg which was no issue for hubs & me but my friend has walking issues. No problem there - there were 3 shuttles that ran right up until midnight. Never a long wait & at times we called the front desk if we knew she just missed it & another shuttle was immediately dispatched. When she asked an employee for a safe way to walk down to the pontoon boat ride as to not go down a somewhat steep walkway they offered to call for a golf cart ride & were right there with it. The one word to describe every employee would be "Accommodating!" Now, of course, food is also important. We had a meal plan that included breakfast & dinner. Both meals each day were plentiful, very good, good variety (breakfast standard crowd-pleasers of eggs any style, home fries, bacon/sausage/turkey bacon, & their homemade bread & morning cake (amazing crumb cake one day, an apple crumb another, etc.), or egg white frittata for those seeking a healthier alternative, just to name a few. Dinner always had homemade soup, family style serving of salad & veggie plus 4 entree choices that included an option for non-meat eaters. Of course, those delicious homemade breads were right there for the taking. Even when stuffed you must try their made-on-premises creamy ice cream. So delicious! The wait staff was attentive & pleasant. Jorge was our waiter for the first couple of days & just the nicest guy always greeting us even when not assigned to our table. Although lunch was not in our plan there was a Deli at the Inn at Woodloch that we visited each day. Homemade soup was great & a large choice of made to order sandwiches The sandwich price was generally a reasonable $10 & for the amt on that sandwich & given the fact Boars Head cold cuts are used I felt that was more than fair. Those with a family could always buy cold cuts & fresh Italian bread from another deli/store by the gas station within the resort premises & make their own. Each room has a fridge. There were plenty of activities: Name that Tune, Minute to Win it, bocci, mini-golf, pedal boats still operating in this cool weather, Go-Carts, & these senior citizens even went into child mode & did the bumper cars! We tried archery which Kayne was manning. He showed the “

“We visited Newfoundland last summer and loved eating moose! 🇨🇦🫎 A couple of months ago my co-worker and her husband found your restaurant. We were so excited to try your Traditional Newfoundland Moose Stroganoff last night! 🫎🍄 It was awesome! The meat was so tender and the sauce decadent. We shared sides of mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I could not get over the flavor of the vegetables! We also shared a bowl of Cream of Mushroom soup, which was incredible! By far, the best Cream of Mushroom soup I've had! 🍄🍲 I cannot thank you enough for taking my food allergies seriously and preparing us such a tasty dinner. It was so nice to reminisce about Newfoundland and have such a tasty meal. We will definitely be back! 🫎“

“We just played a wedding here. What a great time!! The food was delicious and the staff was accommodating to our needs. The maintenance guys, waiters, servers..A really nice place!! Thanks from the Bill’s Toupee Band!!“

“The staff is awesome and the food is amazing. It starts with the warm bread then I highly recommend the French onion soup to start, the creamy garlic salad dressing or just get the Bonny salad and call it a meal! All the dinners are great! So glad we finally got out there, great job to all!“

“The food here is very hit or miss, though the servers are very attentive and the atmosphere is pleasant, looking out the windows at the golf course. The chicken in the chicken salad was overcooked/hard/dry, and there was not allot of it, on the sandwich which was mostly an overly large croissant. They have good fries, though. My wife liked her asian salad, i agrred that it tasted good, but not a lot of imagination put into it.

Vegetarian options: Multiple entree salad selections.

Parking: Easy parking.“

“We had a few drinks, decent time, ran into a friend, not a bad night overall. Did have a few people staring at us, seemed like they may have known my girl, but wasn't too big an issue. Overall it's a nice place as it was years ago when I'd been there before.“

“I cannot speak to the food but I can speak to the character. It is Memorial Day 2024. Mom driving alone with autistic toddler has a tire blow out and pulls over right by this diner. Called triple A and no one to be found to help me, toddler freaking out and I’m beside myself crying because there was nowhere open to get a new tire. Called around and around and finally in absolute desperation went into the diner to see if anyone had the number of the attached garage who might be able to help. “Sorry, he’s having a baby today!” was the response. Cue more crying… suddenly, angel waitress says “no no don’t cry! It’s ok.. one second”… and a gentleman comes out to take a look. Turns out he is the husband of the owner. He opened the garage, for me- a stranger who never heard of eldred or the diner- and changed the entire tire. Then refused a penny in payment. Ok, I sent my son in to buy drinks so he could leave a big tip- also wouldn’t accept it. These people are utter gold. I don’t have enough words of thanks to give them, maybe you do by going in there and sharing support with them. Thank you Irene. Thank you Jesse. Thank you Irene’s diner team, you have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you. Thank you!“

“My friends and I stopped in one day for an early dinner. We got garlic knots, the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and cannoli’s. I’m still thinking about how good everything was. We are from Pennsylvania and I’d make a day trip for that pizza any time of the week!“

“I used the liquor store here twice; it's quaint but not a lot of room for stock or variety. They stopped carrying Coconut Cartel so I won't drive out of my way to go here anymore but it's not because the store is a bad place.

Parking: Parking is very limited; there are a few spaces in a small lot around the corner. I've never seen more than that.“

“The best server by far is Candice. She is polite and caring.“
