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.“

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.“

“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!“

“Wonderful meal and nice ambiance!“

“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.“

“Best French Onion Soup that we've ever had! Portions so big, you can't finish your meal! Service was outstanding! Husband had Black Angus burger and I had Chicken Parmesan. French Onion Soup. Onion rings out of this world!! We would definitely return!“

“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.“

“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“

“Every Sunday after church my husband and I go out to eat breakfast 😋 we live a 15-18 minute away from Pinky's I'm always in Carbondale and use work in Carbondale at Gentex for 6 years and never stopped here to eat... Well OMGGGG I was most definitely missing out on some great food. Let me tell you we ordered what we wanted and before we knew it our food was on the table lightning speed if 10 minutes went we didn't notice!! The service was excellent food cooked to perfection 🥰 my waitress was McKenzie and she was so polite and attentive to the point that I asked to take a picture with her 😀. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was clean the bathroom was clean as well“

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.“
