“Definitely the local spot for great food and great people! Prices are always awesome too! We live in Hamlin and it’s our go to spot especially for breakfast!!😋“

“Great service, great food. I have never been disappointed when I order from Riffs. I try to make it at least once a week if not more. They are like family. Keep up the good work.“

“I’ve been here multiple times for breakfast and the food is always delicious. My friend and I came on a Saturday morning which it was slammed but the wait time was short. We enjoyed our breakfast. Also our waitress was very attentive, it’s very clean and a wonderful family atmosphere for all ages.“

“Such a great spot! The food is incredibly delicious—definitely a must-stop if you’re in the area!“

“It was our first time here, at first we were a bit skeptical, we were greeted by a young lady who immediately had us seated. Our server was Jason, he was absolutely great, very engaging, the food was amazing. Everything came out nice and hot. First time ever out of so many restaurants we’ve been too, I can say we had an amazing experience. And will definitely visit again.“

“I ate here 3 days in a row. I noticed that this location can certainly use more staff. I absolutely loved my service that I received from Tiarra and Addie! They are the nicest waitresses and genuinely care about their customers! The manager however needs some anger management classes. Instead of yelling at the waitresses about things that are out of their control because they are super busy taking care of customers, she should put that energy in assisting/supporting her staff until more help can be hired.“

“Delish never disappoints. Their food servings are beyond ample and always fabulous. When working from home I call in my order to be ready at 12:15 and it always is. Love their new renovations too. They have daily breakfast and lunch specials along with homemade soup, so to see those you need to follow their Facebook page. And the crew is always friendly and greets you with a smile.“

“My daughter and I have been going to Native for dinner several years now. Always surprised and enjoy the newly created dishes. We had the Salmon Ravioli last night. Excellent. Waiting for the Mushroom and Goat cheese ravioli to come back on the menu. Compliments to the chef and his whole staff.“

“The Caboose has the best soft serve around! There are so many other ice cream creations and treats to choose from as well. An actual Caboose on the property is definitely an added bonus to see. The owner is also very friendly. This ice cream stand is well worth a visit!“

“The gravity is always our favorite go to restaurant for our family! The staff is wonderful and the food is always delicious. It doesn't matter if you have a table of 2 or a table of 10. The food is always on point! Anytime anyone asks where would I recommend to eat, The gravity is the place!“

“We decided to come here on our way back from visiting our grandchildren. Our first time here. I was very impressed with the cozy atmosphere; very homey and welcoming. We were served with delicious rolls and as Pepsi fans were delighted that they offered that! My husband ordered cabbage rolls and was over the moon with how amazing they tasted. When I go to a place I’ve never been to I always get the turkey dinner if they have it. I asked before I ordered it if it was real turkey or deli turkey and I was told it was real. It came with a choice of potato, cranberry sauce, vegetable and homemade stuffing. For me the stuffing is the game changer. Everything was absolutely amazing!! We are absolutely coming back!“

“I stopped for the first time to get a lunch to go. I got the tuna wrap which was so amazing with onion rings which hands down were the best I ever had. The servers were beyond nice and efficient. I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great servers, who could ask for more.Thank you Beyond Bagels.“

“Had a great evening at Frank's Place❤️ The food was fabulous and the service and atmosphere equally great. It was truly worth the drive up from Scranton. Looking forward to my next meal at Frank's.“

“Been going there since 1961, mom use to take us after shopping at Newberry’s It’s wonderful the business is still open and doing good after all these years. And still love the gutheinz hot dog 🌭 chili dog! Unfortunately since dad passed we’re all retired, Martines Shoe Shop no longer“

“We were introduced to a tasting of The Cashew Lounge on a wine train event we attended in Carbondale this past Fall. We have been wanting to get to the actual restaurant since then and decided it was a nice sunny Sunday why not take a ride today as we live about 40 minutes away. So glad we did, it was so worth the trip. The food was top notch, the service was fabulous! Everyone was attentive and knowledgeable and some of the friendliest staff we have ever encountered in a restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and clean! The food from appetizer to dessert was A+. We had the Buffalo Chicken Empanadas as an appetizer, homemade and sooo good!. I had the Gnocchi in Vodka Sauce as my entree and it came with choice of soup , I chose the Tomato Basil. Wow, no words , both were wonderful. My husband also chose the Tomato Basil soup and as his Entree chose the Chicken Parmesan over pasta which had a nice twist, it was served with Vodka Sauce instead of the usual red sause. He thought it was delicious! If you leave here hungry that's definitely on you, the portions are huge and we both brought home leftovers. We couldn't resist the Creme Brulee Donut dessert special OMG!! As a side note I never know what kind of cocktail I want order, so I simply said, surprise me with something sweet and fun! They sure did deliver , a chocolate covered strawberry martini , it was so yummy. Thanks for being so playful with my request, most places just kind of give me a look , lol. We even got to chat with the owner, such a nice guy! Thanks for a wonderful first experience, we will definitely be putting The Cashew Lounge on our restaurant rotation!!! Give it a try, you will be glad you did! Thanks again! Greg & Anne“

“We just can’t get our timing right!! Always stealing away to the Waymart, off-season. We’ve HEARD, that they have an incredible outdoor grill setup…We’ve HEARD, that the Wrangler BBQ pit was custom made in Indiana…We’ve HEARD, that the cherry and applewood smoked meats are on display under their pavilion….But We’ve only been able to TASTE their winter options; an award-winning tray of Old Fashion square (sweeter sauce, two cheese blend), a toasted Cuban with seasoned gravy fries and a crock of French onion soup to boot. It really hit the spot as we split town for the Catskills, and began our journey with some NEPA non-negotiables. Guess we'll have to find our way back once the winter weather breaks.“

“On a weekend getaway in Hawley this past weekend and came across this hidden gem breakfast place - Laurel's Hometown Cafe in Honesdale! Fantastic service, food and hospitality. Christina our server was awesome as well as the chef. Awesome breakfast, generous portions and priced just right for every budget. I have already recommended this cafe to friends that visit the area and I will keep spreading the word. Thank you for making our morning a great one.“

“Meatloaf tasted good but was a bit mushy, zucchini and tomatoes were phenomenal, potatoes tasted like they were powdered, soup was absolutely delicious, and the gravy wasn’t homemade but wasn’t bad. Service was good, food came out quickly. The booth tables are too low and you have to bend over to eat which is a bit uncomfortable. The regular table’s hight looked fine tho.“

“We saw a sign for lobster and decided to stop in for dinner.
Exquisite! Delicious!
Quaint hotel atmosphere. Excellent wait staff. Food brought to the table hot and superb. Filet mignon cooked to perfection.
As I glanced about I say they could accommodate a large crowd, perchance even a party. Gold Stars All The Way !!!“

“Went this evening for the first time. Great food, awesome service and excellent espresso martinis. Will definitely return.“

“excellent food and aervice !! loved the cheesesteaks!“

LO mein was delicious Snrimp Egg foo young ..delicious ask for flat not chucky. General chicken good. I wish they offered the General shrimp on delivery menu . We pick up bi weekly or monthly from here yet I hv not asked if they can do the generals shrimp in a brown garlic sauce as that is fabulous and my go to. If I don't stick with veggies. Try and Enjoy!

“R Place is definitely the place to when it's 5 o'clock somewhere! The food is great (American Bar) the atmosphere is fun and the drinks are cold! I came with a friend and left with many!
Got the mozzarella stick and the house salad. Sticks were thick and crispy and the salad was fresh and delicious.“

“We are in town for a wedding and chose this place because they make a vegan pizza. It's not an after thought or something to placate the one vegan friend in the group. It's thoughtful and delicious and filling. There's no fake cheese, just all whole ingredients. My nonvegan husband really liked the carrot puree. Definitely will be back when we're in the area.“

“Rustic, unassumingly charming place that sits off the beaten track, but close to Honesdale and Hawley. Lots of food options. Burger was delicious. Wife had chicken sandwich. Had an IPA from Jam Room in Greentown. Wish they had more craft on tap. We went here three years ago when scouting the area on vacation. Now we live in the region. Great service.“

“Tried this place because my son has a football game in Honesdale. Boy am I glad I did. This place was absolutely fantastic. My son, who is the pickiest eater in the world loved the smash burger. My 2 youngest had the cheese quesadilla's. My wife had the pulled pork grilled cheese, and I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. For appetizers we had the chicken pot stickers. Everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was super friendly and the 2 gentleman playing were a awesome. I'm in Pike county but I will definitely be back to this place for a date night.“
