7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lahaska

“Let me start by saying we didn’t end up dining in or eating anything. However, I felt it necessary to share our experience. I gave 4 stars because we have heard great things about the food, so I am respecting that. The downfall was the customer service/attitude of the employee(s)/manager.

We showed up with 8 people for a little birthday BBQ lunch. They informed us that they only seat parties of 6 or less. We told them that was fine and informed them we would be fine to do 4 and 4 separately or whatever made sense for them. They either misunderstood us or have a very odd rule in place where they do not accommodate for groups larger than 6 regardless of the circumstance to avoid having to turn away other groups who come in, as they tend to get busy… all things that make perfect sense and we understood fully. The girl we spoke to said she’d grab a manager to see if they could make an exception and let him have the final say… keep in mind we already said we’d break up into smaller groups and sit separately.

He came out and told us we can’t push tables together and would only be able to sit in the front room (a fully-windowed sunroom with a couple 2 tops and a 6 top) which it seemed they thought we wouldn’t want, (again, we had already informed them we were fine with splitting up). At this point, there was only one table in the restaurant (a 6 top).

In the end, the body language was not friendly and the attitudes came off as if we were being difficult. Our spirits are still high, but we were just put off and confused by the whole interaction. Either they need to listen better or be a little more friendly and understanding. We’ll come back another time, but just figured I’d share our little story so you make sure to show up with 6 or less people and avoid having to interact with them too much.

Very bizarre experience—they effectively turned away a guaranteed 8 people to avoid potentially having to turn away other groups on the off-chance that a handful of smaller groups showed up and wouldn’t be able to be accommodated… a very unlikely scenario considering we were happy to sit separately.

We went to Porterhouse which was lovely. We will be back in smaller groups in the future. Hopefully you have a pleasant interaction. Happy Holidays.“

“Friendly staff and awesome food.I can't believe I just found this place a little bit ago being so close in Newtown. Had the rib platters several times can't wait to start trying other things on menu and if there anything like their ribs I'm sure I won't be disappointed!“

“Hands down best cheesesteak I’ve had in a while bread was good and the steak was overflowing 5 stars“

“We absolutely love La Stalla. Paulie and the staff are wonderful, courteous and go above and beyond. We love their prepared food, especially the sandwiches (to die for), and their imported products are a slice of Italy 💗. My husband and I always recommend La Stalla! The freshness, taste and family like atmosphere of thisItalian market can’t be beat!“
